What Was So Interesting About Trimming a Horse's Hooves?

Now that Bai Suzhen has been released,

Let's release the Maybach Crane from its confinement as well.

Another burst of blue light was emitted.

With a high-pitched and melodious cry, the Maybach Crane, which had been offline for many days, spread its wings in mid-air and revealed its golden body.

I'm finally out, Bird Lord!

Waaaaah...

It,

I feel so wronged.

It seems that ever since the owner took in that White Python, the affection they showed it has diminished considerably.

Bai Suzhen can act cute and charming, and be affectionate and pleasing.

It can also be Maybach Crane.

Why,

The owner is increasingly disgusted with it.

Is it simply because Bai Suzhen is female and it is male?

It's not that it can't change its sex.

Owner,

Can't you love me one more time?

The Maybach Crane flapped its wings, circling the boat like a butterfly, as if trying to catch its owner's eye.

However, unlike Bai Suzhen, Gao Yunyi's eyes remained calm throughout.

But Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang was different.

Her phoenix eyes were frighteningly bright, filled with intense heat.

She loved this phoenix-like celestial Immortal Bird.

It's not about loving the house because of its owner,

Rather, it's a deep and abiding love from the bottom of my heart.

Dragons and phoenixes have been symbols of royalty since ancient times.

The dragon is a symbol of emperors, representing the supreme authority of the emperor, divine right of kings, and rule over the four seas.

The phoenix was exclusively associated with royal women; empresses and princesses used the phoenix as their totem, symbolizing elegance, nobility, and divinely ordained status.

Therefore, she had no reason not to like this phoenix-like celestial Immortal Bird.

So beautiful!

When the phoenix soars into the sky, auspicious omens arise.

It was filled with the most auspicious omens of the imperial family.

The owner didn't look at it.

The Maybach Crane was very sad.

It wanted to leave this place of sorrow, so it spread its wings, dragging its three-colored tail, swooped down over the lake, and flew away alone in sadness.

It needs to find a place.

A place where the owner cannot see,

Everything is fine.

I had a good cry.

Flying over this lake,

The heartbroken Maybach Crane suddenly twitched its nostrils.

It seemed to smell something.

It had a scent that excited and delighted it.

The Maybach Crane looked up.

Then we saw a mudflat.

Many alluring, graceful white figures stood on the mudflats, making its slender legs involuntarily tighten.

Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang saw the direction the Immortal Bird flew in.

As if he had just thought of something, his face immediately lit up with surprise.

That mudflat is home to a flock of White Cranes she keeps in captivity.

Ever since she learned that the Immortal's mount was an Immortal Crane, she sent people to search for many White Crane cranes in various places and kept them in her mansion.

Each one is carefully selected; each one is a beautiful female crane, one in a million.

It was originally intended for personal enjoyment.

I never expected that I would actually attract the Immortal Bird today.

It's true what they say: you may try to plant flowers, but they won't bloom; you may plant willows, but they will thrive.

Immortal Birds lingered here.

Surely the Immortals won't leave immediately.

Bai Suzhen had a great time.

Gao Yunyi had seen enough.

Then I decided to leave.

Seeing the look of utter dissatisfaction on the immortal 'Immortal face, Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang felt a sudden surge of anxiety.

She wanted to keep the Immortal for a little longer.

Even just one more second would be fine.

But all that could have been shown is gone; what can she use to leave behind traces of the Immortal?

How about performing a few more backflips, and then imitating a few cat meows?

But this is just too embarrassing.

"Xiaobai, stop playing, it's time to go."

Gao Yunyi waved to Bai Suzhen, who was tumbling in the water, and a blue light appeared. Bai Suzhen was instantly put into the Spirit Pet Slot.

The Immortal is really leaving.

Xiao Zhaohuang's eyes were filled with reluctance and disappointment.

"Big brother, can you please not leave?"

The chubby boy, who had somehow reappeared from under the table, spoke in a weak voice, his round face full of dependence and longing.

Faced with the pleading of his newly recruited younger brother, Gao Yunyi simply said one thing in a cold voice.

"No."

Are you kidding me?

A moment of pity is already the greatest care I can give you.

You actually dare to push your luck!

The chubby boy was startled by his older brother's cold and indifferent gaze. He took a few steps back tremblingly, and then crawled under the table.

Seeing this scene,

The light in Xiao Zhaohuang's eyes went out.

Immortal is still Immortal.

They will not be swayed by external things, nor will they be swayed by emotions.

They are even less likely to be troubled by romantic love.

The Gilt Phoenix Ripple Boat slowly approached the dock.

Gao Yunyi led Zhang Qingyan off the ship.

Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang felt as if she had a thousand words in her heart, but she never uttered them.

They could only respectfully and reluctantly send the Immortal to the gate.

But just as they were passing through the training ground,

A guard walked over with his head down, looking extremely apprehensive.

What is it?

Xiao Zhaohuang asked.

"Your Highness, your Red Hare has refused to eat for several days and is very irritable. Upon inspection just now, I found that its hooves have excessively thick horn, and they need to be polished and repaired."

The guard anxiously reported that it was not that he wanted to trouble His Highness with such a trivial matter, but that Red Hare was His Highness's beloved horse, and that the grinding and trimming of its hooves could only be done by His Highness himself, and no one else was allowed to interfere.

Upon hearing the guard's words, Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang nodded.

"I understand. Lead Red Hare out of the stable first, and I'll deal with it after I've seen the Immortal off."

After the guards left,

Xiao Zhaohuang had just turned his head,

She then saw the Immortal looking at her with a strange gaze.

Xiao Zhaohuang: "..."

Thinking that his subordinate's abrupt behavior had offended the Immortal, Xiao Zhaohuang was about to apologize when he heard the Immortal say something with great interest.

"You just said you were going to get your horseshoes fixed?"

Xiao Zhaohuang nodded, puzzled, and said, "Yes... yes."

"Let's go together."

After saying that,

Gao Yunyi then walked in the direction the guard had left.

"Big brother, wait for me, I need to go."

Zhang Qingyan hurriedly followed, equally enthusiastic.

Then the chubby boy who had been hiding far away also ran over with his short legs.

Xiao Zhaohuang: "..."

No,

What's so interesting about repairing horseshoes?

Completely bewildered, Xiao Zhaohuang couldn't help but give a wry smile, and could only walk towards the stables.

Although I can't understand the Immortal's thoughts

But at least the Immortals stayed behind, didn't they?

Outside the stables,

Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang was polishing and repairing the hooves of Red Hare.

Meanwhile, the two adults and one child beside them were completely focused, staring intently, afraid of missing even the smallest detail.

The usually hot-tempered and unruly Red Hare was now unusually quiet.

The horse's four legs were trembling even in silence.

It allowed the eyes of strangers to scrutinize and examine its noble hooves.

If it were someone else,

It had already kicked it with its hoof.

But now it dares not.

Because among those pairs of unwavering eyes, there was one pair of great beings that it dared not offend.

Let alone look at its hooves,

Even if you kill its testicles,

It could only endure it, suffer it, and even pretend to enjoy it.
