It would no longer help to advance her level if she continued to compete with beasts from this section of the mountain range.
She rubbed its little head and put it down.
“Shall I cook grilled fish for you?”
Seeing that Xia Muqing didn’t mention anything about sparring, Gungun relaxed.
Its eyes lit up when it heard the mention of grilled fish, and it immediately went to the river to catch some fish.
It was very familiar with this job!
Xia Muqing chuckled at Gungun, who had come alive at the mention of food.
Even after such a long time, it wasn’t tired of eating her food.
Xia Muqing trailed after the fox. The moment she reached the river, she felt as though the sky had darkened.
Looking up, it wasn’t the sky, but there was a giant eagle blocking the sunlight.
As the giant eagle flapped its wings, gusts of wind rushed towards Xia Muqing.
Gungun was blown away by the wind.

Xia Muqing rushed to Gungun and grabbed its small body.
She had just pulled Gungun into her arms, when the giant eagle flew down and grabbed her with its claws, lifting her into the air.
Xia Muqing peered at the ground as they flew further and further away. She hugged Gungun tightly.
If they were to fall, Gungun’s little body would be smashed into pieces.
The giant eagle flew a long distance with Xia Muqing and Gungun, and took them away from the middle section of the mountain range.
Xia Muqing thought about it. This giant eagle didn’t belong to the middle mountain range.
She looked towards the depths of the mountains.
Xia Muqing had a thought. It seemed that this giant eagle was from the depths of the mountains.
She had no inkling why the giant eagle had come to the middle section to capture her.
However, it didn’t attack her on the spot, which meant that its intention was not to hurt her.
After figuring it out, Xia Muqing relaxed and stayed under the giant eagle’s claws.
She admired the scenery of the entire Sunset Mountains as she soared high in the sky.
Xia Muqing was probably the first person to ever admire the scenery of the Sunset Mountains from this height.

Only now did she have a better understanding of the vastness of the Sunset Mountains.
The terrain of the entire Sunset Mountains was imprinted in Xia Muqing’s mind.
The giant eagle was very swift, and it would take a month for a human to reach the depths of the mountains.
It arrived in about two hours.
When the giant eagle was landing, it charged straight down.
Xia Muqing felt uncomfortable.
The huge airflow caused her face to be dented along with the wind.
Xia Muqing subconsciously hugged Gungun tighter so that it wouldn’t be affected by the airflow.
Gungun hid in Xia Muqing’s arms and glanced at her deformed face. However, it wasn’t affected by the airflow at all.
Normally, Gungun would definitely mock Xia Muqing for being ugly.
But now, it was inexplicably angry.
Xia Muqing was its master and no one else could bully her.
Once it landed, Gungun struggled out of Xia Muqing’s arms and attacked the giant eagle.
Gungun, who was invincible in the world with its extraordinary speed, was sent flying by the giant eagle’s wings.
Xia Muqing caught it in time.
She stopped it from charging forward.
Xia Muqing could clearly see that the giant eagle didn’t use much strength.
Otherwise, Gungun wouldn’t be fine and active right now.
She had a better understanding of the strength of the beasts living in the depths of the mountain range.
They were definitely not something she could deal with now.
The giant eagle looked at Xia Muqing calmly with no malice in its eyes.
After signaling Xia Muqing to follow, the giant eagle brought them to the back of the mountain.
A smaller black eagle flew over quickly.
The giant eagle extended its wings to catch its precious son.
Unexpectedly, the black eagle completely ignored the giant eagle and rushed into Xia Muqing’s arms.
It loved beauties the most!

Xia Muqing was knocked back a few steps by the black eagle.
Even Gungun was knocked out of Xia Muqing’s arms by the black eagle and fell to the ground.
Xia Muqing finally managed to stabilize herself.
The corners of her mouth twitched speechlessly as she gazed at the black eagle rubbing against her chest.
The black eagle was smaller than the giant eagle.
But it was still bigger than Xia Muqing.
It may have seemed as though Xia Muqing was hugging it. But in fact, she was being swallowed by the black eagle’s embrace.
Squeak squeak squeak—
Gungun, who was stunned by the fall, reacted.
It stood up straight and pointed at the black eagle while squeaking loudly.. When it noticed that it had snatched away its master, its entire body trembled with fury.
