29: The Sensation Caused by the Black Eagle

The Sensation Caused by the Black Eagle

However, unlike before, when Xia Muqing appeared this time, everyone took a step back. Then, they approached her curiously to have a clearer view.2

Xia Muqing glanced at the black eagle behind her and sighed.

She knew that she would be in trouble if she brought this fellow along with her.

"Sister, why didn't you wait for me? Where are you going to stay? If you have nowhere to go, you can come with me."

When she heard Huangfu You's voice again, Xia Muqing lost all interest in strolling around.

Seeing that it was already late, she walked towards an inn.

Huangfu You stomped her feet before following her.

"One premium room."

Before Xia Muqing attracted too much attention, she quickly got the waiter to arrange a room for her.

Before the shock in the waiter's eyes vanished, they went upstairs.

Xia Muqing heaved a sigh of relief after entering the room.

The black eagle was looking at the furnishings in the room curiously. This was its first time in human territory, so it naturally found everything interesting.

Xia Muqing couldn't grumble because of the child-like behavior of the black eagle.

Sending it back was out of the question. She could only think of a way to hide it.

She can't bring it back to the Xia family.

Huangfu You watched as Xia Muqing went upstairs and she followed her. She then went into the room next door.

The guards behind her would settle the rest.

Xia Muqing spent the night peacefully.

The news of a woman subduing an Azure cloud Eagle as a pet, had already spread throughout the entire Sunset Mountains.

Xia Muqing went downstairs for breakfast and noticed that the inn was packed.

She finally found an empty seat and sat down as she peered at the crowd at the entrance.

No matter how good the inn's business was, it wouldn't be crowded like this.

She was consciously listening to the people around her.

"Eh, I wonder if this is true."

A person who was dressed like a scholar commented.

"It should be true. After all, so many people claimed that they witnessed it. It's impossible for them to mistake such a huge Azure Cloud Eagle," his companion quipped.

A burly man beside them had clearly overheard their conversation. He added heartily, "Of course it's true. I saw it yesterday."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Most of them had heard rumors and came here to join in the fun.

The burly man grinned smugly. He stood up in the middle of the crowd and said, "Last night, I was walking on the streets to buy some herbs. Do you know what happened?"

The moment the burly man opened his mouth, he sounded like a storyteller.

Everyone's curiosity was piqued.

Seeing that the burly man was still rattling on, everyone got impatient and urged the burly man to get to the story.

The burly man was very satisfied with this outcome. He posed with his massive body, picked up the chopsticks, and threw them onto the table.

Slap!

"I saw an Azure Cloud Eagle suddenly appear. This type of ferocious beast usually moves in the depths of the mountain range. The moment it appeared, it shocked the people on the streets. Just as everyone was preparing to defend themselves, guess what happened?"

Seeing that everyone was about to throw chopsticks at him, the huge man didn't dare to drag for too long and quickly said, "A woman appeared behind the Azure Cloud Eagle. That Azure Cloud Eagle is really obedient. It obediently followed behind that woman. That Azure Cloud Eagle must be that mysterious woman's pet."

Slam! The burly man ended his commentary.

"Who is that mysterious woman?" the scholar asked.

The burly man answered matter-of-factly, "I already said it was a mysterious woman. How would I know who she is?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall of the inn was filled with sighs.

Everyone threw their chopsticks at him.
