Xiao Shi put the little girl down. His feet moved like the wind as he sprinted, pulling her along with incredible speed.
Xiao Shi was so fast that the little girl was practically carried along. Her body floated in the air, making her feel quite mortified. "It's only in the early Spirit Transformation Realm! Granny Lin could have handled it. Why are we running?"
Xiao Shi didn't reply, just kept running. "We stole its favorite food. Shouldn't we run?"
The little girl paused, "I guess you're right..."
In truth, there was no right or wrong. Fierce beasts ate people, and people ate fierce beasts. It had always been this way. In the Great Wilderness, there was no right or wrong, only strength.
"Caw!"
The Blue Luan kept calling out in the sky, but those two mischievous kids were incredibly slick. In just a short while, they had vanished without a trace. With the dense forests of the Great Wilderness, finding them was like trying to climb to the heavens.
Far away, several miles distant, Xiao Shi felt the menacing aura behind him disappear. He breathed a huge sigh of relief and then put the little girl down.
"Where's the bird egg? Hurry up, I'll roast one to try."
The little girl rolled her eyes. "Why are you always thinking about eating? Wouldn't it be better to hatch it and comprehend Treasure Techniques?"
"A weak bird that I can't even catch up to, what good Treasure Techniques could it possibly have? Furthermore, the bird eggs are full of essence, delicious and appetizing, not to be missed!" Xiao Shi retorted with a serious expression.
The little girl blinked, thinking it made sense. She came from a powerful background, so the Bone Runes she comprehended were naturally extraordinary. She indeed wouldn't care for that level of technique.
Finally, at Xiao Shi's urging, she took out the two azure-blue bird eggs.
Xiao Shi's eyes crinkled with a smile. He gathered a large pile of dry wood and placed the bird eggs on top. Bone Runes flickered on his hands, and a flame rose. Then, the two of them squatted side-by-side in front of the fire, looking at the two bird eggs with anticipation while chatting.
"Although you little brat is very arrogant, I'll let you eat more later, since you've been so well-behaved."
"You're the little kid! My name is Yuechan, not 'little kid'!" Xiao Yuechan glared, really wanting to teach him a lesson.
"Yuechan?" Xiao Shi thought for a moment, then said, "It sounds kind of awful, not imposing at all!"
Xiao Yuechan ground her teeth, wishing she could bite him to death. "Hmph, you think you're so imposing? You even call yourself Little Stone Emperor, aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death by people from Stone Country!"
"No way, as long as I run fast enough, no enemy can catch me. They naturally can't do anything to me." Xiao Shi laughed heartily.
"Egotist! Exhibitionist!" Unable to argue, Xiao Yuechan could only bring up the old story again, looking scornful.
Xiao Shi's face darkened, and then he suddenly put his arm around her shoulders, saying, "We've even stolen bird eggs together, and run away together. We've established a foundation of brotherhood, so let's not bring up those things anymore, or you won't get any of the bird eggs!"
"Pah! You little thief, get away from me!" Xiao Yuechan was furious, pushing him away and then raising her small, white fist, punching Xiao Shi's eye socket.
Bang
With a soft sound, Xiao Shi was fine, but Xiao Yuechan covered her little hand, tears almost streaming down her face from the pain.
"Hey, foolish Xiao Yuechan, I will definitely become the supreme emperor in the future, watching the rise and fall of all heavens and myriad worlds, with only me existing eternally! If you curry favor with me, I might take care of you a bit in the future," Xiao Shi said with a serious expression, his voice a little high-pitched, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
Xiao Yuechan widened her eyes, looking at the little boy with a solemn appearance. She opened her mouth and uttered a few words, "I also say I'll become an immortal in the future!"
"Haha..." Xiao Shi looked at the very interesting little girl and didn't tease her anymore. Instead, he got up and walked towards the bird eggs.
After this short while, a large pile of firewood had already burned out, and the bird eggs were almost cooked, ready to eat.
"Sss～ so fragrant!"
On the pile of embers, the two crystal-clear eggshells, like blue diamonds, shone with spots and patterns, sparkling like stars, very beautiful.
But when the eggshells were opened, a wave of fragrance immediately drifted out, along with wisps of astonishing essence that steamed out, shining brightly and emitting dazzling rays of light.
"Mmm~ Delicious."
Xiao Shi used an eggshell to scoop up a bite of the roasted bird egg and put it in his mouth, revealing a happy smile, his eyes naturally squinting.
Seeing his utterly delighted expression, Xiao Yuechan moved closer, bringing another egg in front of her. After cracking the shell, she followed Xiao Shi's example, nibbling at it little by little.
"It does seem really delicious…" Though Xiao Yuechan's voice was still young, her large, spirited eyes squinted slightly, filled with satisfaction.
Although she was young, she held a high position in the Butian Sect. She had never lacked delicacies, precious medicines, and spiritual fruits, but she had never felt this kind of satisfaction.
"You two are quite bold, daring to make a fire so casually in the Great Wilderness." The old woman appeared soundlessly in front of the two little ones, watching them shake their empty eggshells while being enveloped in essence, and said.
In fact, there was another thing she didn't say: after those two bird eggs were exposed, the Blue Luan had already come looking for them, but she had scared it away.
"Granny, you're too late, we forgot to save you an egg," Xiao Shi said with innocent, blinking eyes, looking quite embarrassed.
"Mine are gone too!" Xiao Yuechan whispered.
The old woman: "..."
She suddenly felt a little hurt. These three were clearly not on the same wavelength. The bear children's thoughts always made people unable to figure them out. It seemed that even Xiao Yuechan had been led astray.
"How about… we go find a few more?" Xiao Yuechan's face was flushed, and her eyes darted around, as if she was embarrassed by her own suggestion.
As a top heir of a great sect, her words and deeds were well-guided, and it was almost impossible for her to be like this.
"Let's go, let's go!" Xiao Shi's eyes lit up. He said goodbye to the old woman and pulled Xiao Yuechan to run.
In fact, although Xiao Shi liked to take bird eggs, it was mostly to absorb the essence. It wasn't that he had to do it, but rather that there was someone who could play with him.
Children are not afraid of anything, but they are most afraid of loneliness.
"What energetic little rascals. I didn't expect Xiao Yuechan would get along so well with him," the old woman said with a wistful look, gazing at the two children who had already run over a hundred meters away.
"I really wish I could take you to the Butian Sect." Although she hadn't known him for very long, the old woman could sense that the child's physique was exceptionally strong, quite remarkable for his age.
