Chapter 156 – She Wouldn’t Let This Happen Again.

No matter how tough a bird’s body was, its eyes would always be its weakness.

Blood splashed amidst the pained shriek of the bird and, in doing so, it had released Number Two which it was holding in its beak. Number Two fell towards the lake like a shooting star!

Ning Xuemo was not slow either. After making her move, she immediately jumped off the bird’s head and plummeted downwards.

Two splashes sounded one after the other. Two waves were created on the surface of the lake as their bodies heavily plunged into the water.

Although the falcon had slightly lowered its altitude under Ning Xuemo’s control, it was still more than a hundred meters in the air.

Falling from such a height, even if they were landing in water, the impact could be life-threatening.

Although Ning Xuemo had adjusted her body into a diving position as she fell, the force of impact with the lake’s surface still rendered her dizzy as her body sank uncontrollably towards the lake bed…

Fortunately, the lake was deep enough. Ning Xuemo descended a few tens of meters yet still could not see the bottom.

When she finally managed to get rid of the dizziness, albeit with some difficulty, and desperately made her way to the surface, half a minute had passed.

Just when she made it to the surface, a ferocious wind kicked up from above her head without even letting her have time to take a breath. A large shadow covered her as a pair of sharp claws were about to grab her head!

“XUEMO!” Her ear picked up a loud shout near her as a person rushed over and pushed her head beneath the water…

“Splash!” The noise of water sounded as Ning Xuemo suddenly felt the pressure on her head disappear.

She jerked her head upwards and saw Number Two being carried away in the bird’s claws.

“NUMBER TWO!” Ning Xuemo quickly emerged from the water and yelled. However, she could only watch helplessly as he was carried into the sky…

“My name is Shitou. Xuemo, the happiest thing that happened to me was meeting you, even dying is worth it! If there is a next life, I wish to serve you and guard you…”
