162 A March Across A Tedious Plains 1 (1/2)
”I left the forest.”
The words incessantly revolved around each other within An Fei's mind, each cycle producing a roaring revelation that tugged at the base of her heart.
Her limbs tingled with a rushing sensation of numbness, as though she had completed a grave task.
The Wu Ji Forest that she had once stood within without any concrete dissertation of orientation, now acted as the background brushing against her back in tune with the gentle breeze.
Before her lay the scenery of a long stretching plains, a far cry from that of the forest.
The knee-high grass was still the same, but the lack of a single tree or winding branch arching over her head was oddly exhilarating.
The young girl released a heavy sigh of relief within the Sanctum, her lithe body aptly sliding under the comfortable blankets.
With a wave of her hand, the bedcurtains drew shut, and a warm darkness surged in to draw the single occupant to the fleeting land of dreams.
”I left the forest.”

The single whisper resounded throughout the boudoir of sky-blue crystal, the crystalline surfaces reverberating with a cheerful glint of gold and blue.
The next day, An Fei arose from her delightful sleep, freshened her conscious with a shower and a fulfilling breakfast, and departed from the safe confines of the Sanctum.
The young girl yawned and stretched her limbs whilst being bathed by the soft, golden rays of sunlight, her beautiful countenance brimming with a delightful complexion.
Of course, when she opened her eyes to greet her companions, she found a resentful pair of crimson eyes, and a tearful pair of hazel.

”Xiao Hei, when did I get a fox?”
A young girl casually remarked to the little raven perched on her shoulder as she walked through the grasses of the plains, her hands gently brushing the strands of her hair that were teased and tussled by the gentle breeze.
Staring at the bright sky, she wished that she had brought a parasol to block the blinding rays that seeped into her vision, or perhaps a wide-brimmed hat.
Caw!
The little raven clamped on the straps of the leather bag in a discontented mood, refusing to glance at the young girl's visage as it fired a noncommittal reply.
”The dragon tossed it to me?” the young girl raised an eyebrow, an amused tinge seeping within the base of the pair of scarlet irises.
Caw!
”Eh…”
An Fei mused in interest, unaware that her cheerful heart caused the little raven's mood to plummet by an equal magnitude.
The young girl even patted her cheeks, her countenance blooming with a delightful smile that stretched from ear to ear.
The giant dragon had given her a seven-tailed fox!
Given as the protector of the Wu Ji Forest was most likely annoyed with her regarding her series of wanton slaughters, the seven-tailed fox was probably nothing special within the mysterious forest.
From an analytical perspective, even An Fei with her suppressed cultivation could squash the creature with her finger, much less utilize the sword.
But the fur was the exact same quality as the nine-tailed fox that she had fought with in the forest!
The exact same – no, it was even better!
The young girl couldn't help but eagerly swallow, her right hand rubbing away the trace of drool that threatened to seep from the corner of her lip.
Ignoring the rustling of grass as they brushed against her legs protected only by a pair of pants, An Fei even nursed the urge to whistle a tune.
She had a little raven on her left shoulder, and a little fox on her right.
Grabbing the little creature and nestling it in her arms, the young girl extended her index and middle fingers to gently rub at the silken fur, her eyes closing in utter satisfaction at the blissful sensation that throbbed at her fingertips.
An Fei even paused to continue her indulgent action, completely ignoring the dissatisfied glare stabbing at her cheek from her left shoulder.
The heavenly bliss!
She could only describe the sensation as though rubbing warm cream, the texture and consistency refined to the ninth heaven.
