Sure enough, a moment later, a figure appeared in the flickering light at the mouth of the cave.
Yan Lie returned, bringing a chill of the night air with him. His expression was relaxed as he shook his head at the others. "It's nothing, just a false alarm. It was just a small flock of Eagle Beasts migrating. They happened to pass over the forest and are already far gone."
"Eagle Beasts, flying in a flock this late at night?" Bai Wanwan muttered. She found it a little strange, but a wave of drowsiness washed over her again.
Xin Feng carefully tucked the soft beast hide around her, his voice gentle as water. "Whatever they're doing, it has nothing to do with us. We're here, so don't be afraid. Wanwan, rest easy and go to sleep."
Enveloped in a powerful sense of security, Bai Wanwan's faint traces of doubt quickly vanished.
She smiled at Xin Feng with half-open eyes. "Okay."
