Shen Ningning only froze for a moment, then suddenly covered her face and screamed.

Mo Lingwei was awakened by the scream, and suddenly he sat up holding her in his arms. He looked around with great vigilance, a murderous intent rising in his thin eyes.

He thought there was an assassin.

But unexpectedly, the room was empty, and Shen Ningning in his arms took the opportunity to punch him.

"Who asked you to carry me here!" Her face turned red with embarrassment, and her watery black eyes were filled with tenderness and anger.

Mo Lingwei woke up and looked down at his palms.

"Did I hug you?" He looked confused and innocent.

"You're still pretending!" Shen Ningning crossed her arms and said angrily, "I can't just roll into your arms on my own, right?"

Mo Lingwei raised his long eyebrows: "Maybe it's true, you're not a good sleeper, kicking up the quilt and rolling around."

Shen Ningning's beautiful eyes widened: "Nonsense! That's not what I am like..."

But the more she talked, the less confident she became, because she remembered that when the wolves lived with her in Langshan Mountain, she would always roll out of bed in the middle of the night.

Then she fell on the furry wolves. She wouldn't even wake up, and the Black Wolf King would carry her back to the bed.

Shen Ningning puffed up her cheeks and asked, "But when I woke up just now, your hand was still on my waist. Even if I don't sleep well, I can't hold your hand and hug myself!"

Mo Lingwei coughed lightly: "I can't control myself even when I'm asleep. I must be careful next time."

"Next time?!" She hit him again.

Mo Lingwei wrapped her fist: "You're so stupid. Just hit someone in the face. Otherwise, if you hit someone on the body, won't your hands hurt?"

Shen Ningning was startled and looked at him with her beautiful eyes in surprise. Mo Lingwei stretched out his face and said, "Hit me, I'll let you vent."

Seeing him obeying her like this, Shen Ningning couldn't do anything.

She snorted dissatisfied and pushed him with her hand.

"No scheming. Besides, I'm not that unreasonable person."

Mo Lingwei suddenly felt that she couldn't bear to bully him, and the chuckle on his thin lips deepened: "I'll pay attention this time, you sleep first, and I lie on the outside, okay?"

Shen Ningning shook her head: "I slept well..."

She then remembered that she was awakened by a tapping sound on the wood.

Shen Ningning poked her head and looked outside the door. The little maid keeping watch should be far away, because she had told her that she didn't need anyone to wait on her at night.

Could it be the rumor? Did she hear it wrong?

Just then, there was a knocking sound again, this time coming from the window.

Mo Lingwei suddenly regained his leisurely and relaxed expression, and his eyebrows shone with a sharp luster.

He protected Shen Ningning behind him and looked at the window warily.

The sound of "knock-knock" not only did not stop, but continued very frequently.

The moonlight was too dark, hiding behind dark clouds, Shen Ningning asked worriedly in a low voice: "Could he be your secret guard?"

"No." Mo Lingwei frowned: "They won't come at night to disturb our rest. Even if there is an emergency, there is a code. If the whistle doesn't sound, it's not them."

However, Mo Lingwei's secret guards were hiding nearby. Even if there was danger, there was no reason why they wouldn't show up.

After thinking about it, Mo Lingwei stood up and told Shen Ningning: "Just wait on the couch and I'll go and see."

After he said that, he took out the long sword from under the bed and walked lightly towards the window.

Shen Ningning watched nervously.

The closer Mo Lingwei got to the window, the more he heard the sound of flapping wings.

He frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then immediately opened the window. In an instant, the night wind rushed in, and a huge black shadow rushed directly into the room.

Mo Lingwei immediately swung his sword and looked at the opponent. He was agile and avoided his attack by turning slightly sideways.

Shen Ningning's beautiful eyes widened as she watched the black figure spread its wings and flutter up to the rafter.

"Wait, brother, this seems to be... a black eagle?"

Mo Lingwei raised his head and looked at the beam, frowning.

The black eagle that flew in was simply too big, with plump and black feathers, and was half a man tall.

When it squatted on the beam, the space above the beam seemed very narrow. Black Eagle had to tilt its head and looked at Shen Ningning up and down with its brown eyes.

"Are you looking for this king?" Hei Diao spoke.

Mo Lingwei was shocked, because this time, he actually understood what Hei Diao said was human language.

Shen Ningning stood up from the bed and looked at it in shock: "You...how can you speak our language?"

Black Eagle sneered and shook his wings: "This has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't asked people to look for me everywhere and found my second aunt, I wouldn't have come here at all. After all, what's the matter? Once you make it clear, don’t bother my family anymore!”

Shen Ningning:...

In order to let the little animals carry messages to the black eagle, she had fed all kinds of birds these days, not knowing which one would be the black eagle's second aunt.

"Since a bird has given me a message, I will tell you directly. I hope you can take me to Tianshan Mountain."

The black eagle looked her up and down and made a squeaking noise, as if he wanted to laugh at Shen Ningning for not overestimating her abilities.

"Just you? Going up to Tianshan Mountain, a small body like yours will freeze to death. Humph, don't think that I don't know why you want to go up the mountain. It must be for that snow lotus tree, right?"

"Do you know the snow lotus?" Shen Ningning was a little nervous, although the most important thing was not the flower, but the thing buried under the snow lotus.

What was it specifically? Before my mother could finish speaking, the voice broke off.

So Shen Ningning had no choice but to go to Tianshan Mountain in person and dig up the snow lotus.

"Of course I know that for you people, it is a rare treasure. For me, it is a good medicine for strengthening the body. I will take it once a year. Therefore, I will not take you Go up the mountain.”

Shen Ningning said anxiously: "I don't want snow lotus, I just want you to take me up the mountain, I want what's under the snow lotus!"

The black eagle folded its wings and his eyes became stern and mean: "Lies! You have the worst hearts. You used all kinds of lies to trick me into helping, and then tried every means to kill me. This is your real purpose."

As it spoke, it muttered to itself anxiously: "I have known for a long time that people's hearts are unreliable. For the sake of profit, you can betray your relatives and family members. For the sake of money, you will turn swords on your compatriots. I will not help such despicable people! "

Mo Lingwei was afraid that it would fly away, so he suddenly closed the window.

The black eagle shook its wings: "You can't lock me down, so don't bother!"

Mo Lingwei's face was cold and his voice was even calmer: "We don't want to imprison you. We asked you to come here to discuss cooperation. You help us go up the mountain. From now on, the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain will be yours. I will let people in Build a temple for you on Tianshan Mountain so that you can have a place to live and be worshiped by others without being chased around."

Black Eagle was silent for a moment and looked at him: "Just you?"

"I'm the prince, isn't it enough?"

After Mo Lingwei finished speaking, Hei Diao stopped talking for a moment and looked at him suspiciously.

Shen Ningning took advantage of this opportunity and saw that Black Eagle's left claw was a little shrunken. Compared with the right claw, it was obviously different in size and looked like it had suffered an old injury.

So, she added: "I can also make your left paw recover and move freely like before it was injured."

Black Eagle immediately looked at her: "My left paw was injured by someone who looked very similar to you." (End of Chapter)
