?fish circled the middle of the lake a few times. Seeing that the humans weren't moving, it swiftly turned around, beat the wings on either side of its body, and vanished in an instant.
"That's incredibly fast."
Xiao Xiao sighed softly.
Having wings really did make a difference.
"Pfft~"

Especially with those wings on its sides.
People in ancient times had been superstitious.
It wouldn't have been surprising if they'd
