This human girl had calculated everything, from falling off the horse and grabbing the cub to lure the Demon Chimpanzee here to the jump and the trap for the man…
It was like a chess game. Everyone else was a chess piece, and the human girl was the player.
“You…” The horse wanted to speak, but Feng Wu silenced it with a hand gesture.
She said carefully, “We’re not entirely out of danger now. I know you have questions, but we can talk after we get out of here.”
Down below, the effect of the Dark Formation had worn off, but Seven and the Demon Chimpanzee were already in a fierce battle.
Seven didn’t want to fight, but the Demon Chimpanzee had suffered on its way here, not to mention the river wasps, which it would never forget in its lifetime. Therefore, it wouldn’t let Seven go.
Feng Wu knew that the fight would last for a while.
While those two were still fighting, Feng Wu and the horse quietly climbed up the cliff.
Thanks to the stones she had stuck in the wall earlier, the climb was difficult but not impossible.
Looking up, Seven saw them ascending and was furious. He yelled at Feng Wu, “Where do you think you’re going?!”
But the Demon Chimpanzee wouldn’t let him go.
He wanted to go after Feng Wu, but the beast was chasing him. Moreover, although they were of the same level, a magical beast was a lot stronger than a human.
Therefore, Seven was having a hard time defending himself.
Feng Wu feigned a worried look when she told Seven, “Master, I carried out your order. Please don’t worry about the reward. I’ll go find you some help now!”
She then dashed off with the horse.
Poor Seven. He had been hopelessly trapped…
Phew —
Five minutes later, Feng Wu and the horse finally reached the top of the cliff. Feng Wu sighed in relief and realized that her forehead was covered with sweat.
She had been very tense the entire time, and only now did she realize that she was sore all over. Every muscle in her body hurt.
“Hop on.” Standing at the edge of the cliff, the horse glanced at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu looked at the horse. “Teehee, do you recognize me as your master now?”
The horse raised its chin and said proudly, “Do you think it’s so easy to gain my recognition?”
Feng Wu murmured, “So, that’s a no…”
The horse was sorry to see the girl lower her head and look so pitiful. It wondered if it had been too harsh.
“Hey.” The horse glanced at Feng Wu. “I still don’t trust you, but I let you ride on my back, don’t I?”
Feng Wu looked at it with teary eyes. “So… do you still not trust me?”
The horse shifted and looked away. “You can’t build up trust in one go.”
Feng Wu agreed with it.
One look and she could tell that the horse had been hurt before, and probably by a human. Of course it wouldn’t trust her right away.
It wouldn’t even talk to her at first, so this was already big progress.
“Alright.” Feng Wu jumped onto the horse. “You can trust me just a little now, but you have to stay with me. This way, you’ll have more time to build up your trust in me.”
