Chapter 27: The Azure Cloud Eagle Was Her Pet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Having pets was a trend in the imperial court. The more ferocious a pet was, the more pride the master would have.

But was it really okay to have the Azure Cloud Eagle as a pet?

The Azure Cloud Eagle was a ferocious beast!

Other than the Lord of War, they had never heard of anyone who had beasts as pets.

“Is the Azure Cloud Eagle really your pet?” Huangfu You asked softly.

She poked her head out from behind a guard and gazed at Xia Muqing.

She looked much more adorable than her unreasonable personality before.

Xia Muqing’s expression softened and she nodded.

“Sister, how did you do it?”

Huangfu You stared at Xia Muqing with admiration.

Xia Muqing wasn’t used to Huangfu You’s change in attitude. “I just bumped into it on my journey and accepted it as my pet.”

Xia Muqing’s words sounded extremely perfunctory.

However, Huangfu You’s face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled.

It was as if she was the one who had subdued the Azure Cloud Eagle.

Huangfu You suddenly took a step forward. She gripped Xia Muqing’s hand and praised her excitedly, “Sister, you’re really awesome!”

Xia Muqing was a little confused. She pulled her hand away with some force and stepped back a little.

Huangfu You was acting oddly.

She cleared her throat and explained, “I’m just happy for you, Sister. This time, I left the palace… Uh, I went out to subdue a pet. But I didn’t even spot a single rabbit.”

Huangfu You’s expression gradually became downcast.

Xia Muqing didn’t want to have anything to do with this princess. Although she was calling her affectionately now, the unruly behavior of the princess in her memories was still imprinted in her mind.

Who knew when she would turn into that unreasonable princess again.

“Sister, can you sell this black eagle to me?”

Xia Muqing’s expression immediately fell. She pulled the black eagle who was still standing foolishly beside her, and she marched off.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Huangfu You’s eyes, but she didn’t resort to force.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but since Xia Muqing was able to become the master of the Azure Cloud Eagle, she wouldn’t be an ordinary person.

All of their skills combined would probably not be enough to defeat that Azure Cloud Eagle.

They saw that Xia Muqing was walking in the direction they came from.

Huangfu You shouted at Xia Muqing, “Sister, you can’t go there! There’s a beast tide there.”

Xia Muqing stopped in her tracks and turned to walk towards Huangfu You.

“What do you mean by a beast tide?”

Huangfu Youhui recalled the scene earlier and her face turned pale.

“We just escaped from that place. There’s a large group of beasts gathered there, and they all seem to be from the middle section of the mountain range. I was prepared to report that, but for some reason, they didn’t move.”

Xia Muqing knew what was going on the moment she heard that. She asked Huangfu You about the exact location and headed there.

Huangfu You’s guards looked at Xia Muqing’s as if they were looking at a fool.

Only Huangfu You’s eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation.

After all, she had grown up at the Imperial Palace. So naturally, she wouldn’t be as naive and ignorant as she appeared to be.

Huangfu You beckoned for the guards to follow Xia Muqing discreetly.

Xia Muqing spotted the green snake and the rest when she arrived.

The green snake and the other beasts lowered their heads, as they were afraid to meet Xia Muqing’s eyes.

Xia Muqing sighed but she didn’t lecture them.

“All right, since all of you are here, this is considered sending me to the periphery. All of you can go back.”

The green snake raised its head and said to Xia Muqing, “We’re going back now. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to the mountains to look for us.”

After sending off the teary-eyed beasts, Xia Muqing felt a little sad.

However, she had to return to human society eventually.
