Chapter 139 A woman’s kindness
The early morning sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the six-winged condor's territory. Leng Xing, Yin Jing and Guo Lingli were on a huge rock, separating themselves from the crowd. The atmosphere was a little tense because of the topic just discussed. The three of them drank tea in silence and ate some snacks.
Leng Xing changed the subject and looked at Guo Lingli gently, "Cheng Haoer, how is your control over the contracted six-winged divine eagle?"
Guo Lingli's face showed a bit of confusion. She actually didn't know what exactly controlled the six-winged divine eagle. Was it really just the beast taming technique?
But Mo Yan had told her before, "The strong and the weak are judged immediately, and the contract is made!"
Now it is obvious that the six-winged divine eagle is strong and she is the weaker one. She really has no idea how this contract was made.
"Actually, I'm not very good at controlling the Seraph. I always feel like it has its own ideas and is not completely under my control."
She expressed her feelings.
In fact, in Yin Jing's opinion, it is impossible for Xiao Haozi to contract the six-winged divine eagle, but since he can contract it now, there must be an intrinsic reason.
"Think about how you communicate with it. Maybe you need to find a way to communicate with it."
"I haven't figured out a pattern yet. Every time I try to get it to do something, it gets its own way."
A hint of confusion flashed in Guo Lingli's eyes.
Leng Xing's mind moved. Could it be that reason? But it shouldn't be possible, right?
He said firmly, "You are wrong to think like that. The six-winged condor is your contracted beast, and your thoughts should be its thoughts. The two of you should be connected in spirit."
Guo Lingli smiled bitterly, "I can't actually do that. It's so powerful, there's no way I can fully control it." Her voice was filled with frustration.
They wanted to reach the bottom of the Pingjiang Grand Canyon this time, and the six-winged eagle was an indispensable part of the journey.
Silver Mirror patiently advised: "Then you should communicate with it. Since it has made a contract with you, you must have something that can subdue it. It may be your temperament, your beliefs, or some special ability of yours."
"I don't have much confidence. I have no idea what it's thinking. Every time it flies in the air, I feel like it's very far away from me."
Leng Xing heard something different in her words and looked at Guo Lingli with strange eyes.
"Why do you need to know what it thinks? It doesn't matter what it thinks. What matters is that it serves you."
Guo Lingli stared at Leng Xing and asked seriously, "But I don't have anything to give it? You said it works for me, but I can't pay it. I don't know what it eats or how to feed it. I haven't paid anything for it, so how can I expect anything in return?"
When she said this, Leng Xing and Yin Jing were shocked. What kind of logic was this?
"It is your contracted beast, and it should serve you. This is the rule of the contract, and it is also the bond between you two." Why did Yin Jing feel that Guo Lingli was even more foolish than he pretended to be?
Guo Lingli couldn't understand their concept and retorted: "But I don't think so. It worked hard, so I should give it corresponding compensation. But I didn't give it anything, so why should it help me?"
Leng Xing and Yin Jing looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
They also had no understanding of Guo Lingli's ideas.
Yin Jing rubbed his temples, feeling that the snacks were no longer tasty, and sighed, "You are too stubborn, your thinking is stubborn, and it is impossible to communicate."
Guo Lingli did not back down. "I think you are the ones who take human life lightly and have no respect for others. The six-winged condor is a living being. It has its own thoughts and feelings. We cannot treat it as a slave or a pet."
Seeing this, Leng Xing quickly persuaded: "We are all working towards the same goal, so don't quarrel over such trivial matters. We should respect each other's views and find a better way to get along."
The quarrel between Yin Jing and Guo Lingli did not subside. They each insisted on their own views and refused to give in to each other.
In the end, the argument lasted for a long time in the early morning sun until they realized that each other's views were difficult to change and gradually calmed down.
Although the arguing died down, tension still hung in the air.
Guo Lingli's eyes are firm and persistent. She firmly believes that every living being should be respected and not treated as a tool or an accessory.
Silver Mirror, on the other hand, looked displeased, as he believed that the contracted beast was to serve its master and there was no need to consider its feelings too much.
As a bystander, Leng Xing understood Guo Lingli's position and respected Yin Jing's point of view.
He knows very well that there is no absolute right or wrong on this issue, only different values.
So he decided to try to mediate and find a solution acceptable to both parties.
"Perhaps we can look at this issue from another angle." Leng Xing spoke slowly, breaking the silence. "As your contracted beast, the six-winged divine eagle should indeed serve you. But at the same time, you can also treat it as a partner, a comrade-in-arms with whom you can grow together.
In this way, the love and effort you put into it will become a bond between you and it will be more loyal to you. "
After hearing this, Guo Lingli fell into deep thought. She understood Leng Xing's meaning and felt his kindness.
She began to reflect on her own ideas, whether they were too biased and narrow-minded.
Yin Jing frowned, as if he did not completely agree with Leng Xing's statement.
A six-winged condor suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of them.
Its huge body sparkled brightly in the sun, and its eyes sparkled with wisdom.
It seemed to sense the atmosphere between the three people and heard their conversation.
The six-winged eagle let out a low cry, its voice full of tenderness and intimacy. It looked at Guo Lingli, its eyes revealing deep trust.
Guo Lingli felt its gaze and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
"Perhaps you are right." Guo Lingli raised her head and looked at Leng Xing and Yin Jing with a smile on her face. "I should treat the six-winged divine eagle as a friend and partner who serves me. I will try my best to communicate with it, so that it can serve me while respecting and understanding its thoughts and feelings. Maybe I can do both?"
Yin Jing sneered in his heart. How could he take both into consideration? Aren't you afraid of the six-winged divine eagle's backlash? This six-winged divine eagle was not simple at first glance. There must be a reason why it targeted Guo Lingli.
But it was rare that Guo Lingli compromised, so he couldn't help but express his opinion.
"you're right."
Silver Mirror's eyes were deep, "We should indeed respect the feelings and wishes of every living being."
But he sneered in his heart. He still liked a sentence in the "Tao Te Ching": Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs.
Leng Xing was relieved to see that both of them had changed their attitudes. These two people were really childish.
He looked at the six-winged divine eagle. If Guo Lingli had not reminded him, perhaps he really just regarded the contracted bird as a tool to serve him. Although he did not agree with Guo Lingli's idea, he saw a different look in the eyes of the six-winged divine eagle.
Perhaps this is the reason why the six-winged divine eagle was willing to make a contract with Guo Lingli but not with himself.
Although the beast taming techniques are different, the six-winged divine eagle is willing to obey Guo Lingli's call and rescue himself in time. I'm afraid this is also because Guo Lingli respects it in his bones.
"Okay, let's start over." Leng Xing stood up and stretched. "We still have a lot of things to do. Don't let this little episode affect our plans."
