Chapter 332: Return to the Capital (5)
"Let's go." Yun Feng smiled and then leaped to Lan Yi's back with Mu Xiaojin, followed by Yun Sheng and Qu Lanyi. All four of them were seated on the griffin's back, which was quite spacious. Lan Yi flapped its wings, and Yun Feng unlocked the space with her mental strength in the next second. "Shua..." A beautiful streak of blue light rose from the Masang School of Magic in the dark forest's direction.
Lan Yi kept flapping its wings. The four passengers embraced the wind, which raised the girls' long hair. Qu Lanyi's pretty face seemed even prettier when her hair was fluttering. Lan Yi suddenly sped up and flew across the dark forest. There was nothing but silence on its path, without the slightest sound. It was not until it disappeared in the distance that sighs of relief echoed in the wood. Two guys who had been hiding in a corner looked at the blue ray of light that was getting further and further away and shook their heads.
"The madam is finally gone." The brawny man heaved a sigh of relief. The tall and slim young man laughed too. "About time. But what was that Magic Beast about? It seems too strong to be anyone's mount."
The brawny man rolled eyes at him. "Why would I know? Maybe something is wrong with his head. I would rather die before I serve as anyone's mount!"
The tall and slim young man was amused. He said, "Big brother, don't make such a statement yet. If the madam is in the mood to ride you someday, you'll have to bend, won't you?"
The brawny man smiled bitterly. "What a frustrating life this is... Will it ever end?"
There was a fairly long distance between the Karan Empire's capital and the Masang School of Magic. The capital was located in the north of the Karan Empire, whereas the Masang School of Magic was in the south. Even Lan Yi had to fly for two days to cross the distance. The long journey wasn't a problem for the four passengers, as the griffin's soft fur was free blankets and quilts that prevented them from feeling cold at night. Lan Yi didn't need any rest in a two-day flight. When it flew at high altitudes, everything down below was as tiny as toys. After flying for two days and one night, Yun Feng looked at the prosperous city in the distance from Lan Yi's back.
Yun Sheng rose and stood next to Yun Feng. Together, they gazed at the prosperous city that they were approaching, appreciating the high-rising buildings and the sophisticated architectural work. That was the capital, the most honorable place in the Karan Empire where all the major families hoped to have a seat. The Karan Royal Family dominated this place, under the protection of many top experts who had been hiding themselves. Did the Yun family really thrive here before? Yun Feng thought and watched in silence. The brother and sister simply watched like that. This was their first trip to the capital. Neither of them had seen the Yun family's splendor, or the Karan Royal Family's concession. However, they could totally imagine how glorious their family must've been in the old days!
"We're finally back..." The ancestor's sigh echoed in Yun Feng's head. The sigh seemed to contain a lot of complicated feelings. Yun Feng smiled. She could understand her ancestor. The Yun family had missed the capital for a long time. Its glories had been buried in the passage of time. The Yun family was once at the peak of this place, but it had to leave in frustration. However, at this moment, the Yun family had made an unstoppable comeback!
"The Yun family has returned to the capital!" Yun Feng announced to the city far away. Lan Yi seemed to share Yun Feng's feelings, and suddenly flapped its wings. A blue streak of light crossed the sky, making all the hidden experts open their eyes. They all had the same feeling: the family that once stood on top of other families in the capital had returned with its summoner!
On Lan Yi's back, Yun Feng stared at the capital that she was approaching, and remembered something. She took Meatball out of the bracelet where it had been sleeping. Meatball seemed drowsy when it was taken out. It blinked its big eyes and looked at Yun Feng pitifully. Seeing that, Yun Feng extended her finger and snapped Meatball's forehead, making it howl in complaint. After seeing the scenery around, it quickly climbed onto Yun Feng's shoulder and wriggled quickly, looking in every direction in excitement.
"Nana, nana!" Meatball shouted aloud, no longer lethargic, as if it were a tiger that had just been awakened! Yun Feng chuckled and touched Meatball with her finger, and Meatball nuzzled against Yun Feng's cheek with its body. They were almost kissing each other.
"What's this?" A voice suddenly came into Yun Feng's ears. Yun Feng felt that the burden on her shoulder was relieved, as Meatball had been picked up. It immediately grimaced scarily and looked back at the person who grabbed it. Qu Lanyi looked at Meatball up and down and asked Yun Feng, "Is it also a Magic Beast that you've contracted? For fun?"
Meatball jerked quickly and struck the back of Qu Lanyi's hand with its furry tail. "Tsk!" Qu Lanyi immediately let go of it, but her hand was already red and swollen. She rubbed her hand and tried to approach Yun Feng, but Meatball opened its mouth and bared its fangs, stopping Qu Lanyi from moving forward.
Meatball dashed back to Yun Feng's shoulder and shivered, as if it felt very uncomfortable to have been touched by someone else. Mu Xiaojin looked at Meatball and wanted to touch it too, but she eventually gave up the thought. Yun Sheng, on the other hand, put on a helpless smile. That little creature remained as close to his sister as before.
