Fortunately, the one carrying him this time was a Rank Four Magical Beast, the Azure Sky Sparrow. Even within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it could be considered a powerful force in the sky.
Fortunately, their mount this time was a Fourth-Order Magical Beast, an Azure Sky Sparrow. Even in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it ranked among the powerful creatures of the skies.
Had they been riding an ordinary Thick-Winged Bird, they would probably have had to skirt the Magical Beast Mountain Range. It would never have dared cut straight across like this.
The Azure Sky Sparrow was fast, and flying straight across the Magical Beast Mountain Range would save considerable time. That was why the Xue Family had offered to have Abyssal Sky carry Xiao Yan. The journey alone would take at least two or three days less.
Xue Mei stood behind him, her beautiful silver hair flowing in the wind, looking like an elf who had stepped out of a painting.
Her gaze rested on Xiao Yan's back, countless emotions stirring in her mind. Perhaps this was the closest she would ever be to him. By their next meeting, the gulf between them might truly be like that between clouds and mud.
For the first time, she felt that time should not pass so quickly. If she could stand beside him a little longer, even just for a moment, that would be enough.
Something fluttered in Xue Mei's heart, and she longed to say a few things. But she knew that speaking them might lead nowhere. Better to keep them in her heart, so they could both retain their dignity.
Xiao Yan's attention remained on the scenery below. Leisure like this was rare, and it let him briefly forget some of his worries.
"This is far enough."
