After four hours’ treatment, Xuanyuan Mo slowly withdrew his palms from Duanmu Xi’s back.

As the last treatment was over, Xi was fully recovered. The only pity was that he couldn’t do anything about her mysterious Qi. At the thought of it, Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t help feeling pitiful, self-condemned and gravely furious.

Duanmu Xi slowly opened her eyes and felt refreshed all over. Her injuries should be completely recovered now. It was time to get out of here.

“Snow, am I completely recovered now?”

With his amber eyes glistening, Xuanyuan Mo answered in a low voice, “Yes.”

Duanmu Xi knew that Xuanyuan Mo felt sad again. Since she was injured, he had never truly smiled. He must feel pitiful for her and also have a terrible sense of blame. However, she never thought it was his fault. She didn’t want him to be so unhappy so she often played cute before him and tried her best to cheer him up. Yet, it didn’t seem to work at all.

“Snow, let’s go up the cliff.” Maybe when they got out of here and had a lot of things to do, he wouldn’t take it too much to heart.

“Okay.” Seeing Duanmu Xi pout her lips at him, Xuanyuan Mo got softhearted immediately. Even his voice became very gentle, “However, before we leave, we need to go somewhere first.”

After saying that, Xuanyuan Mo directly carried Duanmu Xi into his arms and walked towards the valley before she could react. Duanmu Xi put her arms around his neck and asked, “Where are we going?”

“You will know later.” These days, he always scouted in the valley after Xi fell asleep and then found a mysterious teleporting formation here. Even if this valley was not the Wind Valley, it should be the entrance of the Wind Valley.

Xuanyuan Mo carried Duanmu Xi to the mysterious teleporting formation and then put her down.

Standing by the entrance of the teleporting formation, Duanmu Xi felt the wind blow from within the teleporting eye and faintly understood where the strange wind came from.

“Let’s go inside.” Xuanyuan Mo directly held Duanmu Xi into his arms and shielded her from the wind with his cloak.

They stepped into the teleporting formation together. Instantly, they arrived at another place. A green scenery was in sight, together with beautiful flowers billowing in the wind.

“This place is so wonderful,” Duanmu Xi looked at the beautiful scenery and couldn’t help praising.

Xuanyuan Mo looked around and dragged Duanmu Xi forward.

They walked for a distance when Duanmu Xi shouted with excitement, “Snow, look over there.”

Looking in the direction where Duanmu Xi pointed, Xuanyuan Mo saw two big white birds were dancing on the grass. He narrowed his amber eyes. They were two Immortal Cranes. It seemed that this place was what Xuanyuan She called the Wind Valley.

Duanmu Xi was excited for the moment because she saw Red-crowned Cranes here. This was the first time that she had seen an animal completely the same as the one in modern times. Hence, she found the two Red-crowned Cranes rather familiar.

She loosened Xuanyuan Mo’s hand and then ran toward the two dancing Immortal Cranes.

“Xi…” Xuanyuan Mo was shocked and then flew towards Duanmu Xi.

Maybe their actions had disturbed the two dancing Immortal Cranes. Therefore, the two Immortal Cranes fluttered their big white wings at Duanmu Xi.

A gust of wind blew at Duanmu Xi. She hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves. Suddenly, she felt she was held into Xuanyuan Mo’s arms.

Xuanyuan Mo had his back to the strong wind and swung his sleeve. Immediately, the wind just returned to the original route.

The two Red-crowned Cranes immediately covered themselves with their big wings and then got blown 100 meters backward.

After the strong wind, the two Red-crowned Cranes took a look at the couple in the distance again and then flew away.

“Who are they?” It was a little girl’s voice.

“I don’t know. We must go back and tell Father about this as soon as possible.” It was a boy’s voice.

“Xi, are you okay?” Xuanyuan Mo asked in a flurry and meanwhile started to check Duanmu Xi’s body.

Duanmu Xi shook her head and felt a bit frustrated. The spiritual beasts on the Hantian Continent were really different from those in modern times. Even if they looked the same, they were not the modern Red-crowned Cranes.

After checking Duanmu Xi all over and making sure she was not injured, Xuanyuan Mo finally felt relieved.

“Don’t act recklessly again.” His deep voice contained retrospective fear. Those were mythical creatures. Fortunately, they were young and meek. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Okay.” Duanmu Xi nodded docilely. Even if she saw a cat or a dog next time, she wouldn’t go near randomly. She didn’t expect that they would be strong spiritual beasts.

Xuanyuan Mo clenched Duanmu Xi’s hand and dragged her forward again.

“Snow, why do we come here?” Duanmu Xi turned to look at Xuanyuan Mo and asked.

“For the wind spiritual fruit.”

“Wind spiritual fruit? Is it here?” Hearing him mention the wind spiritual fruit, Duanmu Xi felt a bit excited. The spiritual fruits were her favorite.

“Supposedly. It is said that the wind spiritual fruit is in the Wind Valley, guarded by the mythical creature Immortal Crane,” Xuanyuan Mo told Duanmu Xi what he had heard from Xuanyuan She.

The mythical creature Immortal Crane? It turned out that the Red-crowned Crane here was also called Immortal Crane, which was the same as the modern times. However, they were much more capable than the modern Immortal Cranes.

“Oh, this place is Wind Valley. No wonder this valley is windy without rhyme or reason.”

While they were talking, they suddenly heard a shout from the sky, “You bold humans! How dare you trespass the Wind Valley? Leave now.”

The two of them looked up simultaneously only to see a beautiful Immortal Crane glaring at them furiously in midair.

“Hello.” Duanmu Xi waved at the beautiful Immortal Crane in a friendly manner.

The beautiful Immortal Crane glimpsed Duanmu Xi, its black eyes glittering with amazement. It seemed to feel Duanmu Xi’s friendliness and then became less angry, “There is no wind now so you had better leave as soon as possible. The Wind Valley is not welcome to outsiders.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes sparkled. This place was Wind Valley indeed.

“Ask your king to meet me.” His voice was cold and domineering.

The beautiful Immortal Crane heard that and then looked at Xuanyuan Mo in shock. Its black eyes also glittered with amazement as well as fear that came from nowhere.

“Who do you think you are? How can you meet our king at will?”

“You want me to have a killing spree here?” Xuanyuan Mo let out a rush of strong coercion towards the beautiful Immortal Crane in midair.

“You bragger!”

When the strong coercion was about to hit the beautiful Immortal Crane, a handsome silver-haired man emerged from nowhere and warded off the attack for the beautiful Immortal Crane.

Seeing the comer, the beautiful Immortal Crane immediately said respectfully, “Your Majesty.”

With a flick of sleeves, the silver-haired man landed before Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi.

The beautiful Immortal Crane also flew behind the silver-haired man. With a flash of white light, it turned into a good-looking man. Not as strikingly beautiful as the silver-haired man, he was prettier than ordinary humans.

Without taking a look at Duanmu Xi, the silver-haired man only stared at Xuanyuan Mo and said aloofly, “You want to meet me?”

He was the king of this place! Xuanyuan Mo, not surprised at all, also looked at the silver-haired man calmly.

“I want the wind spiritual fruit.” He directly talked of his goal.

The silver-haired man still looked apathetic as if Xuanyuan Mo’s goal was within his expectations.

“The wind spiritual fruit is in the east of the valley. If you want it, go and fetch it yourself.” After saying that, the silver-haired man just disappeared with the Immortal Crane without paying attention to the couple.

Duanmu Xi blinked her eyes and couldn’t believe that he had told them where the wind spiritual fruit was so easily.

Xuanyuan Mo also frowned and took a meaningful look in the direction where the silver-haired man disappeared. Then, he just turned around and went to the east with Duanmu Xi.

After they left, the silver-haired man and the beautiful Immortal Crane arose out of nowhere again.

“Your Majesty, why did you tell them where the wind spiritual fruit was?” The beautiful Immortal Crane looked at the silver-haired man who was staring at the east and asked.

The silver-haired man didn’t answer the Immortal Crane. Yet, his eyes suddenly became dark.

Xuanyuan Mo flew to the east with Duanmu Xi and eventually entered a valley. The deeper they went, the stronger the wind was. In the end, they could hardly go forward.

Xuanyuan Mo spread his cloak and covered Duanmu Xi with it. After they were unable to move one inch forward, they could only retreat.

Since the wind was so heavy here, the wind spiritual fruit must be here but…

They retreated to the entrance of the valley. Duanmu Xi looked at the gale in the valley and said with a frown, “What should we do now?”

No wonder that man told them where the wind spiritual fruit was so easily. It turned out that he knew that they couldn’t get the wind spiritual fruit.

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes glistened and then he took a look at the valley again. Staring at Duanmu Xi, he said, “Let’s get out of here first.”

The two of them went back until the entrance of the teleporting formation.

“Are we leaving now?” Duanmu Xi looked back and couldn’t bear to leave.

“No.” Since they were here, how could they leave without any harvest?

“The wind there is too heavy. We must find the Wind Stopping Bead. Otherwise, we cannot go near the wind spiritual fruit at all.” Of course they couldn’t get it either.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi was spirited, “Wind Stopping Bead? Is it something like Water-proof Bead?”

“Yes, it can stop the wind.” With the Wind Stopping Bead, they wouldn’t be afraid of the gale in the valley.

“But where can we find the Wind Stopping Bead?” Duanmu Xi was at a loss after being delighted. If only Ying were here! She was very sensitive to treasures.

Xuanyuan Mo thought about it and said, “Where there is Wind Stopping Bead, there is no wind. In the whole Wind Valley, I guess only the residence of the king of the Immortal Cranes is free from the wind.”

The king of the Immortal Cranes? In other words, it was the silver-haired man.

Xuanyuan Mo closed his eyes and felt the direction of the wind. Then he dragged Duanmu Xi to the south.

Shortly, they saw a castle.

The Immortal Crane at the gate of the castle was not surprised to see them. It went forward respectfully, “Please come with me. Our king is waiting for you.”

Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi exchanged glances and then followed the Immortal Crane into the castle.
