His build resembled an ordinary human's. His face was handsome, his brow bones slightly prominent, and his pale amber eyes held a sharp yet unclouded air of valor.
Featherfolk came from the Featherfolk Kingdom.
Human in form but possessed of wings, they could soar above the nine heavens. They lived atop lofty mountains, apart from the mortal world.
They were born able to command wind and thunder, natural hunters and warriors whose exalted status rivaled that of the White People Kingdom and Xuanyuan Kingdom.
The Featherfolk descended lightly onto the Immortal Craft's deck, his wings fading from sight.
He cupped his hands to Lu Changfeng with an easy, familiar smile. "I haven't visited Guixu in ages. Who would have thought I'd meet an expert the moment I came down to hunt? Your axe technique resembles the Longbo Giants' martial arts, but your build doesn't look like the result of their body-shrinking art. May I ask your name?"
Lu Changfeng put away the Phoenix Sovereign and inclined his head. "My surname is Lu. Lu Changfeng."
The Featherfolk's brows rose slightly. "Lu Changfeng? Mount Yuanjiao has been buzzing lately about a Divine Healer among the Longbo Tribe, a man from the Central Lands who can cure strange poisons, break the Heaven-Praying Formation, and even call down heavenly lightning to strike an Ice Chi. That must be you, Brother Lu. I am Yun Lou, of the Featherfolk Kingdom's Crane Clan."
Lu Changfeng asked, "You mentioned hunting. Did you lure this Whale here?"
Yun Lou hastily waved his hands, looking utterly innocent. "Now you're wronging me. We Featherfolk excel at archery and hunting, but we hunt creatures in the mountains. I have no interest in the fish of Guixu. I was just passing through on my way to Zhu Yan Plain on Mount Daiyu.
