MAAM!

"AW! Why did you hit me?"

"Because you're acting mysterious. Quickly tell me what you think."

Xika smiled back.

"At least I learned how to look cool and mysterious from Heiliao."

"I'll bet you, out of everything you've learned, there'll be nothing useful when dealing with that expressionless girl."

Xika's smile was gone replaced by a disappointed expression.

"To be honest, I also think that way."

"So you really like it? Youlove her? Are you willing to do anything for him? Even die for him?"

Xika looked at Huo Bing with annoyance as well as annoyance. This bird loves to gossip. Then he sighed.

"Eitherway. I'm not too sure. I admit that she's the prettiest girl I've ever met and I'm pretty impressed with her. But I don't know if my current feelings are real love or just a feeling of awe. Besides, even if I really love her, I don't know what makes me love her. I mean, a nice face doesn't guarantee."

Huo Bing nodded smartly. Meanwhile Xika recalled something, as she met Heiliao and the wolf asked a question that she thought was quite strange.

Xingli emerged from the white hole and looked at himself then Heiliao. The girl watched herself for a while and realized her aura was falling apart. And without saying a word, the girl drew out her sword without concern for her exhausted body and soaked in her own sweat. And at that moment, he did so without the slightest hesitation.

Xika smiled remembering those memories. If he needs a reason...................is it enough?

Meanwhile the two-colored bird saw his human brother smiling to himself and instantly knew what he was thinking. He also smiles. But a different smile to Xika's smile, this smile of hers was a rotten smile.

"Yin Xingli."

Xika widened her eyes and immediately turned her head. Of course he didn't find anyone.

It took him a few seconds to realize what was happening. The bird next to him spoke.

"Fucking Mature Half Birds! I'm really pissed you could mimic such a sound! You can mimic anyone's voice, but don't he okay?"

"certain. I understand." Huo Bing said still using Xingli's voice.

"Shut up!"

Huo Bing laughed with great satisfaction under Xika's annoyed gaze.

"Continue your laugh. I won't tell you what I think."

"Ah, Xika-pftttt...wait first........pfttt.........a..........hahahaha..........wait a moment..........puahaha......."

But even though Xika had spoken so, Huo Bing still laughed for a few minutes before completely stopping.

"Alright, alright. I'm stopping. Tell me what you're thinking."

"tag."

"Xika, don't be soith-pftttt......."

Huo Bing laughed again.

"Hey, Xika! Wait, whoa! I quit! I quit."

This time Huo Bing completely stopped laughing. Xika thought the bird had refocused. But what actually happened was that the bird was holding a half-dead laugh.

"So? What are you planning to ask for?" huo Bing asked as she tried hard not to sound like she was holding back a laugh.

"I'm not too sure. Maybe I want to ask the wolves to be my army."

"Teacher? What's for?" huo Bing asked with a serious expression.

"As I said, I'm not sure. But I have a feeling we're going to war. In that case, wouldn't it be better for us to be on the same side as the wolves?"

Huo Bing nodded.

"Considerate. Then regarding the war you said.......does this have anything to do with that damn arrogant boy?"

"My intuition said yes. But don't be so sure. Maybe, I was wrong. Who knows."

The bird nodded back.

"wait. Didn't you say you had some pictures? Why just one?"

"Well, it could be urgent and I was forced to ask for something from the wolves before I got involved in the war. But honestly I said I had some to make it sound cooler."

The boy nodded. Then he walked towards the river where the wolves used to bathe. He wants to get rid of this heat.

But there was another plan he didn't tell the bird. Somehow he had the premonition not to say it in this place. And his premonition proved to be true, for an old wolf stood on a tree several tens of meters away from him. The wolf could hear clearly from such a distance.

Lang Yan still doubted Xika's decision and followed her for a while. At least he should have a shadow of what the boy would ask for. And thankfully he knew it. Asking the wolves to side with him was indeed quite heavy. But he also had the same thoughts as the boy. As much as possible he also wanted to be on the same side as the boy, if war really happened.

After knowing the child's thoughts, Lang Yanpun went on his way. He was also second-guessing about the arrogant boy that the bird mentioned. It seemed like it was Xika's enemy. He sighed. Which originally intended to clear the mind even add to the burden of the mind. But let it be, he'll think about this again later.

Xika spoke to Huo Bing using her soul.

"There's another picture I haven't told you yet."

"really? Whatisit? Why didn't you tell me daritadi?"

"I felt a sense of unease when I was in that place. The same feeling when my village was slaughtered. Not that strong, but it's still the same feeling, you know."

Huo Bing was silent for a while.

"Then what plan do you have?"

"This time I actually used the word 'some'. If, if, if, just a possibility, I don't, you know."

"Then? Besides that?"

"I intend to help Heiliao find her love. If he can find his love again, I want to help him."

Huo Bing approved of Xika's remark inwardly. He knows how hard it is to lose the one he loves. He has experienced it. He did not want the wolf to experience it either. After all from the memory he showed, the wolf did not show his lover died. So at least there is hope. Unlike him, he already had absolutely no hope. Although it sounds quite difficult to communicate with the stars.

"Emm.actually there is still one more option. But I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

Huo Bing was silent for a few seconds.

"Say."

"I want to ask them to raise the dead."

The bird was silent again. But this time it was more than a few seconds. He remained silent even though they had reached the river. He thought of a few things.

He was deeply moved by Xika's thoughts. Even he himself thought that there was no hope for him, but Xika did not. The boy thought what he did not think . Never once in his mind did it cross to resurrect the dead. He was so confused and didn't know what to do. He was not sure if it could really bring those who were dead back to his side.

And if it can, what kind of price should it pay? It must be a valuable thing that is hard to come by. Let alone precious things, even his body does not have. He could not ask the boy to use it to help him. He won the fight himself, so he himself had to use it. He was sure Heiliaopun would be as thoughtful as he was.

To be honest, it was also the same as that wolf. He gave up on love. His love is only one. Both then and now. And if possible, it was better for Xika to use that request for Heiliao instead of her. Of course it would be better if Xika used it for herself.

Xika was quite surprised to see the condition of the river. It's so full. Xika did not expect it at all. If he could think of relaxing in the river, why couldn't the wolves? The capture of the river made Xika no longer interested in entering. He's sure it's hotter in the river than standing here.

So he walked away. Some wolves greeted him and offered to join him. Xika rejected them. Then he recalled the one pond that Lang Hu had once said. He immediately flapped his wings and headed there.

How disappointed he was after arriving at the pond that Lang Hu said. The pool water was very murky. Why could he forget that he cleaned himself in this pond?

Huo Bing was too busy thinking to the point of not realizing where Xika was taking her.

"Eh? Why are we here? What are you doing?"

"Ah. I forgot I made this pool dirty. Too bad. Though the water was previously so clear and clean."

Huo Bing looked at Xika strangely.

"You speak as if you don't master the water element."

"ah! Also true. I forgot to. But I think I need your help to get this pool back to how it was. Lifting all the dirt is still too heavy for me."

Huo Bing smiled arrogantly.

"Heh. What can you do without Mr Huo Bing?"

"Silence and just lift the shit."

Huo Bing flapped her wings with her face still putting on her arrogant smile. He spun several times over the pond and all the dirt that Xika had thrown out earlier lifted up.

Xika had to admit that the bird was really great, despite the fact that the bird was always arrogant. He waited for a while before all the dirt was gone and then jumped into the pool.

"Heh. Because who can you enjoy this pool for?"

"Alright, alright. Everything is because of Mister Huo Bing, thank you." replied Xika unconcernedly. He was already too happy to have his own pond to dissipate the heat and did not think too much about Huo Bing's words. The bird smiled proudly.

"Hm? What'sthat?"

Xika saw something from the corner of her eyes. Something that was black in color and round in shape like a pill.
