Chapter 264: What is this eagle doing here?
confusion, "What do you want Shen Lue's contact information for"Li Xueran blushed and said softly, "I like him. It was love at first sight. Mu Xing, I'm telling you this because I consider you a frien...Muse was seduced by the low and husky voice into opening her eyes.
The man's handsome face was right before her, his dark and deep eyes pierced through the thin mist in the air, locking onto her. With each breath he took, his warm breath brushed against her face.
"Uncle..."
The little girl's lips were rosy from the kiss, but her face was pale with fear. She huddled in his arms, a small bundle of fragility, like glass, yet radiating purity.
"Yes, I am here."
Fu Lingxiao raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, "Look, nothing happened, don't be afraid."
Mu Xing knew that with her uncle around, she was safe. But that fear, it felt like it came from the deepest part of her soul, something she couldn't control at all.
She pressed herself tightly against the man, her hand unconsciously reaching for the shirt on his chest. As she reached out, she felt the man's solid and muscular chest.
A warmth in her palm brought a sudden memory of the wound on his abdomen. She quickly said, "Uncle, your wound isn't fully healed yet, you can't soak in the hot spring."
"It's okay now, baby."
Fu Lingxiao lifted the little girl's body, pressing her cheek against his chest. He said softly, "My treasure is so afraid of water, did you encounter some danger in the water before"
Mu Xing listened to the steady heartbeat, her tense nerves relaxing a little.
She tried her best to ignore her surroundings, shaking her head. "I don't know, I should not be afraid of water according to my memory. I remember when my brother A Chao took me to play in the pool when I was little. After coming to Qingyun Mountain, I suddenly found that I became afraid of water. I thought about the reason, but as soon as I thought about it, my head hurt terribly, so I didn't dare to think about it anymore."
Actually, I've also tried to overcome my fear of water. For example, when my master came to soak in the hot springs, I would go with him, sitting on the edge and giving him a massage or something, trying to get as close to the water as possible, but it didn't work.
Fu Lingxiao nodded thoughtfully after hearing the little girl's words, pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment. When he wanted to speak again, he seemed hesitant.
He wanted to ask the little girl about the details of the Mu family's fire that year, but he couldn't bear to bring up those painful memories in her already frightened state. He would find another opportunity instead.
He swallowed all his questions, holding the little girl tightly in his arms and encouraging her: "It's okay, I'm with you. Today is a good start, and I believe baby can overcome this."
"Mm."
Mu Xing was also very confident because with her uncle around, it didn't seem so scary anymore.
Fu Lingxiao felt sorry for the little girl and knew that overcoming her fear of water needed a gradual process. After soaking for a while, he carried her out of the hot spring.
Put her back on, wrapped the little girl in a towel, and carried her out of the mountain.
The afternoon sunshine, warm on the skin, is especially comfortable.
Mu Xing lay lazily against the man's chest. She had only slept for two hours last night, and her tense nerves from earlier had taken a toll. She drifted off to sleep unconsciously.
Fu Lingxiao slowed his pace, carrying the little girl back to the stone house. He helped her change into pajamas and put her to bed before taking a shower himself, changing into clean clothes. He then grabbed his phone and went out.
- Mu Xing was awakened by the smell of food.
She followed the aroma to the kitchen. The man was standing at the stove, stir-frying vegetables. The collar of his white shirt was slightly open, and his shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing half of his arm. His muscles were smooth and attractive, with an underlying hint of explosive power when he exerted himself.
"Wow! Uncle, you can actually cook!"
Mu Xing was like discovering a new continent, jumping excitedly to the man's side. Her little head leaned into the pot and she peeked inside, "It looks so delicious!"
Fu Lingxiao glanced at the little glutton, a light smile playing on his lips: "Go wash up, dinner will be ready soon."
OK.
Mu Xing quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up. When she came back, the dishes were already on the table, a total of five, all her favorite dishes from everyday.
"Little Uncle, have you been down the mountain"
Fu Lingxiao carried the served dishes over and saw the little girl staring at him, knowing she was wondering what it was. He said, “Nothing, I had someone bring it.”
"Oh."
Mu Xing took the meal and immediately picked up her chopsticks, grabbing a piece of braised pork to taste. Her two eyes instantly twinkled like little stars. "So delicious! Little Uncle, your dishes are even better than Uncle Jiang's!"
Jiang Huaiyang, at the Yu Zun Garden, was chopping vegetables when his knife suddenly went astray, narrowly missing his finger.
Wu, the butler who was helping wash vegetables nearby, saw this and immediately asked with concern, "Jiang Jiang, what's wrong Are you too tired Why don't you let the cook make dinner tonight Anyway, the young master and Xiao Mu Xing are not at home."
You don't like the food made by the small kitchen.
Jiang Huaiyang said lightly, continuing to chop vegetables.
This was the first time Mu Xing had ever eaten a meal cooked by Xiao Shu. She was exceptionally complimentary, eating everything - not even a single grain of rice was left! Naturally, she ended up feeling very full.
Fu Lingxiao held her sitting at the door, rubbing her round little belly, "Little fool, you must eat in moderation in the future."
Mu Xing leaned against him, comfortably squinting her eyes. Suddenly, she saw a black dot in the distance sky rapidly moving towards her.
She suddenly widened her eyes, wriggled out of the man's arms, and ran to the edge of the clearing, waving excitedly, "Invincible! Invincible!"
Hearing the little mistress's call, Wudi responded with a sharp and loud screech, flapping its wings quickly to fly over. As it swept past Mu Xing's head, Mu Xing reached out and grabbed its talons. Wudi let out a happy chirp, taking its little mistress to experience the joy of soaring through the sky.
A young girl, with one hand clutching the talons of an eagle, was carried away into the sky.
Fu Lingxiao couldn't help but be stunned by this scene. Her treasure had raised a divine beast
It's no wonder he was surprised. An ordinary golden eagle couldn't possibly support the weight of an adult human, but Wu Di was different. Even when it was a chick, Mu Xing began strength training with it. Its strength was far greater than that of an average golden eagle. Plus, after adulthood, Mu Xing would often take it out to play like this, which was a piece of cake for it.
Invincible is soaring through the vast sky with Mu Xing.
The majestic cries of the eagle and the girl's joyful laughter echoed through the air. Fu Lingxiao frowned, his handsome face etched with displeasure.
All the happiness that little girl deserves should come from him.
A hawk, what are you getting into!
Indestructible, as usual, took Mu Xing for a circle around the entire Qingyun Mountain, letting her back down to the open space in front of the stone house and settling on her shoulder.
Mu Xing touched Wu Di's paws and pointed at her little uncle, introducing her: "Wu Di, this is my little uncle. Remember him."
The invincible hawk with its sharp eyes stared at the man sitting by the door. It keenly sensed the hostility radiating from him, and its nature urged it to attack.
Although it held back, giving Xiao En the face she deserved, it hooked Mu Xing's shoulder with its claws as a reminder. girl were to find out about her father, she would definitely choose to leave. He would rather take a roundabout approach, even if it took ten times or a hundred times more effort to investigate, than...
