"I am the wind, I am the wind, I am the wind..."

Though the wind had neither form nor color, its voice was everywhere.

"He doesn't have wings. Why can he fly?"

"Don't go over there. It's dangerous. I saw humans like him eating Xiao Li."

"Who's Xiao Li? You were flirting with other birds behind my back?"

"No, Xiao Li is my sister."

"You're lying! You told me before that you pushed all your brothers and sisters out of the nest!"

Two large birds resembling cuckoos flew through the sky. They suddenly began fighting, and in the end, the male bird let out a mournful cry and rapidly fell to the ground.

"Senior, the wind is here. I have to go."

"Although we were together only briefly, please don't forget me."

"Senior!"

"Yun'er!"

"Senior!!!"

"No, I don't want to be separated from Yun'er! Aaaaaah!"

The two clouds were scattered by the wind, leaving only sorrowful voices howling within it.

The sky was extremely lively.

Zhang Ping glanced at the falling oversized cuckoo, then swiftly dove toward Pearl-Watching Peak.

He landed atop Pearl-Watching Peak and found no trace of people. He simply crouched down, tapped the ground, and asked, "Big brother, was someone standing on your head just now?"

Zhang Ping quickly changed his wording. "Then, old sir, could you tell me whether someone was standing on your head just now?"

"Two little brats were indeed on my head for a while," Pearl-Watching Peak answered.

Zhang Ping immediately asked, "Then where did they go?"

"I don't know. All sorts of messy little fellows are always running around on me. If I worried about that every day, could I live this long?" Pearl-Watching Peak asked wisely.

Zhang Ping said helplessly, "All right, then I won't disturb you."
