Xia Muqing could tell that the white snake was feeling uncomfortable. So she reminded the green snake of their purpose here.

The green snake was so excited to tell the white snake that they had found the white ginseng.

The white snake was also delighted.

Once it recovered, it could help the green snake.

For the past hundred years, it had been a burden to the green snake.

Xia Muqing didn’t waste any more time talking. She went to the green snake’s new cave and started brewing the medicine.

This was the white snake’s last time taking medicine.

After drinking the medicine and taking the white ginseng, it would have recovered completely.

Tears welled up in the green snake’s eyes.

Its wish for the past hundred years had finally come true today.

Its gaze turned towards Xia Muqing and it slowly turned solemn. It would remember her kindness for the rest of its life.

After doing this final thing, Xia Muqing felt relieved.

It was time for her to leave the Sunset Mountains.

She couldn’t find the white ginseng all this time, and so she couldn’t feel at ease.

Now that Xia Muqing had settled the matter on her mind, she expressed her intention to leave.

All the beasts knew that Xia Muqing wouldn’t stay in the Sunset Mountains forever. Although they were reluctant to part with her, they were prepared to escort her out of the mountain range after failing to persuade her to stay.

Xia Muqing was so startled that she rejected them.

It was all right as there was no one here. But a large group of beasts following her would result in panic.

Xia Muqing packed her bag and was about to leave when she noticed something unusual.

Thinking that the beasts were shadowing her secretly, she turned around.

Xia Muqing raised her brows. It was the black eagle.

“You haven’t gone back home?”

The black eagle chuckled as it had no idea how it should tell Xia Muqing.

Seeing that a long time had passed, the black eagle still couldn’t think of any idea that Xia Muqing could accept. Thus, it could only speak its true thoughts.

“I want to follow you.”

Xia Muqing was stunned. She didn’t expect it to have such an idea.

“I’m going back to the human society. It’s not appropriate for you to follow me.”

The moment Xia Muqing finished speaking, the black eagle hurriedly said, “I can acknowledge you as my master.”

The black eagle was very serious when it said that.

It wanted Xia Muqing to know that it was serious.

However, when Xia Muqing thought of its parents who lived deep in the mountains, she knew that they wouldn’t agree to have their child acknowledging a human as its master.

After all, all beasts despised humans.

“Sister, if you don’t let me follow you, I’ll follow you secretly. You can’t stop me.”

Xia Muqing coughed. She really couldn’t stop the black eagle.

With the black eagle’s temperament, it might cause trouble.

It might as well stay by her side, and she could keep an eye on it.

“Fine, but you have to listen to me or I’ll leave you alone.”

Xia Muqing agreed but she still had to remind and warn the black eagle.

The black eagle promised repeatedly that it would be obedient.

The human and the beast began their journey. Oh, and an unconscious fox.

Xia Muqing found an empty spot and took out the medicinal herbs she had collected over the past two months.

They were all grounded into powder.

Xia Muqing surveyed the bottles of medicine in front of her, and she smiled in satisfaction.

This was a gift that she had specially prepared for the Xia family.

The black eagle looked at these small bottles in confusion.

When Xia Muqing wasn’t paying attention, it secretly opened a bottle and took a sniff.

It had also been won over by Xia Muqing’s culinary skills over the past few days. It watched as she roasted, grilled and steamed.

It thought that these bottles would contain something delicious.

The moment the black eagle opened the bottle, it smelled it eagerly.

The powder that came out of the bottle made the black eagle sneeze uncontrollably.

Some of the powder spilled out onto the black eagle’s nose.

The black eagle didn’t react, and Xia Muqing got anxious.

“Black eagle, why did you touch this powder?”
