He Lan Tianxia

Chapter 257 The Melody Lingers and the Horses Arrive

"I'll move it," the gorilla shouted.

"How are you going to move it? You're too weak to even kill a chicken right now," the eagle said, continuing its carrying motion.

"I have a way." Although the gorilla's limbs were weak and powerless, its mind was still quite sharp. It fiddled with its body for a few moments and actually took out a huge leaf, skillfully folded it into a small folded piece, and then put it to its lips and blew on it.

The eagle was about to give a thumbs-up when it frowned as it listened. Why did this tune sound so familiar? Hmm, I remember now, it's the tune that Master Murong played for the Princess, something like Phoenix... I forgot, when did this mischievous monkey learn it too? It seems this guy isn't stupid after all, he has some musical talent.

"Do you think playing a tune will make the snow lotus fly away automatically?" the eagle retorted again.

The gorilla stared wide-eyed, puffed out its cheeks, and blew for a while before roaring at the eagle, "What's the rush?"

The eagle stared at the gorilla for a long time. The way the gorilla was seriously playing the tune was quite cute. It played with great skill and rhythm, and the notes became longer and longer, with a penetrating and far-reaching power.

Suddenly, a commotion outside pulled the eagle back to reality. The eagle shook its head, clearing its head for a moment, wondering what that rascal was spouting that could distract it.

The music stopped abruptly, and the mischievous monkey gave a loud whistle, immediately followed by the neighing of horses outside.

"Red Hare!" The eagle exclaimed with delight. Then it looked at the gorilla, who wore a smug expression. Oh, so this mischievous monkey had used the song to falsely convey an imperial decree and summon Red Hare.

The two long-absent red hares were very excited to see the eagle and the gorilla. They stretched their necks and came closer, even burying their faces in the eagle's body.

Hey, if you keep rubbing against me, you two will flatten me!

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and move the snow lotus!" The gorilla grew impatient and stood to the side, shouting loudly.

Only then did the two fiery red steeds realize that apart from the gorilla and the eagle, no one else was there, and they immediately felt tricked. So, the two fiery red steeds turned and left.

The gorilla panicked and roared, "Why are you running? The queen is waiting for you to save her!"

What? The princess is in trouble again? The Red Hare stamped its four feet incessantly, its meaning clear: urging the gorilla and the eagle to hurry and rescue her.

Seeing this, the gorilla urged again: "Why are you running? The prince needs these snow lotuses to refine elixirs. You two hurry up and find a carriage to transport them."

The two fiery red hares were indeed intelligent creatures. After listening to the story, the two horses started running at the same time, and half an hour later, the two horses returned with a carriage rolling back.

The eagle tossed a pill to the gorilla, and after eating it, the gorilla's limbs immediately recovered by half. Before the gorilla could speak, the eagle spoke first.

"This pill will restore your strength for a while, but you must not practice martial arts, or you will lose all your skills." The gorilla could only sit there sulking. The eagle decided to explain the truth to motivate the gorilla. "The only way to cure this pill is to refine it into a complete product. Of course, the better the purity and color of the finished product, the better the pill's detoxifying effect."

"Why go over there to train? Isn't it working perfectly fine here?" The gorilla felt that the eagle was being unnecessary and seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for it.

"If the spiritual energy and profound energy were sufficient here, would I have needed to stop and make a special trip over there? It's all because of some trickery over there that the previously abundant spiritual energy and profound energy suddenly disappeared. Damn it. I wonder if this whole mess will affect the effectiveness of the pills."

The eagle's angry expression didn't seem to be lying to it. Taking advantage of their strength, the gorilla and the Red Hare quickly carried the Snow Lotus onto the carriage. Finally, the gorilla sat down on the Snow Lotus, and somehow produced a long branch in his hand. With a flick of the branch, the two Red Hares galloped towards the Pavilion of Parting Sorrows.

The eagle on the carriage didn't have to worry about anything, just flying freely. Now, the one more eager to refine the elixir had become the mischievous monkey gorilla. The eagle couldn't help but laugh as it thought about it.
