Little Song Bird Is Pregnant - Chapter 101 - Meeting Camilla
Chapter 101 – Meeting Camilla
Wren silently looked around. There were about eight young men and two women on that small ledge. All of them looked like they were waiting for something.
He glanced ahead. Just like the cliff he just climbed over, there was an even taller cliff. It was about a thousand feet tall covered fully in ice.
Wren moved close to examine the surface. But all of a sudden, it shocked him.
"Ops I forgot to mention there is an enchantment there. it will open only in two hours." The girl with blue hair cheerfully said.
"Why? Isn't this a completion of who goes up first?"
"It's to make it fair for other cultivators. It also gives us a small resting place so that we don't overexert ourselves." The girl laid on the ground casually with her hand under her head.
It looked like she was really enjoying her stay there.
Wren laid down as well. 'Might as well enjoy the rest.' He closed his eyes and started to cultivate. The spiritual energy on this ledge was so concentrated and pure.
He could feel his pores opening up and sucking them into his core.
He slowly revolved the energy through his veins and his meridians. It felt refreshing but chilling cold at the same time.
Wren trembled slightly.
Feng who was in his shirt immediately scratched him.
"What is it?" he whispered.
"Stop, it's not good to ingest so much of this energy, especially when your spiritual core is fire-based," he whispered back.
"Oh," Wren stopped it immediately.
"So where are you from?" a chirpy voice asked him from behind.
Wren didn't even have to look back to know it was the blue-haired girl. "from far,"
"Hmm.. do you want some cold meds? Your voice sounds sore. It might be because of the chilling cold." She sat before him cross-legged with a bright smile. "I'm Camilla by the way. What's your name?"
"Wren,"
"Wren, that sounds like a boy's name,"
Wren blinked at her. "it is a boy's name. Because I am a boy." He said as a matter of fact.
The girl gave him a look up and down his body. "Ey, girl you can't fool me,"
Wren pouted slightly. Even when he was in the human village many misjudged him and thought he was a woman. 'why is that so? I'm a handsome man, okay? Not a woman. It's not that I feel less about the other gender but…. I have a very handsome mate to impress….'
He definitely felt Feng giggling from inside his shirt.
Suddenly, the girl reached out to touch his chest.
Wren stumbled back, keeping a hold on the precious bundle in his shirt. "what are you doing?!"
"Your chest. It's big like melons. I want a chest like that. but I am left with lemons." He cupped her own small chest with a sad pout.
"Camilla! God! Stop touching yourself in public!" the other girl who was silently sitting beside her smacked her head.
"Ow! There's nothing wrong with touching myself. It's my body!" she shouted,
The black-haired girl sighed loudly. "Sorry Wren, my sister is very uncultured. Please excuse her behavior. I'd like to apologize for her,"
"It's okay," Wren was not bothered by the fact that she was going to touch his chest. in fact, he got furious only because this girl was about to touch his mate.
He previously cupped the small bundle in his shirt.
"See, she does that too! waa, it's sexy~" Camilla mumbled with drool hanging down her mouth.
"I'm a man," Wren said with a smile. "and this is not my melons. It's my clothes. O get cold a lot so I stuff cloth inside," he slightly opened it exposing the scarves he had rolled Feng in.
Camilla looked too stunned to speak. "y-you… you really are a guy…. how… how do you look like that?"
"Look like what?" he caressed his own cheeks.
"Like this!" the girl held out a small pocket mirror.
Wren glanced at his reflection. His thick lashes were covered in snow making them look white and his cheery red pupils looked pinker in the white reflection from the mountain. Plus his black hair was long and beautifully cascading behind him.
"And you wonder why I mistook you for a woman. You're pretty, Wren,"
"oh."
"Even these men were giving you looks," Camilla said with a smug smirk.
Wren glanced behind him. Five of the young men glanced away with a blush. One of them looked at him with his mouth agape as if he got the shock of his life.
Only two men looked unbothered by their conversation. One of them was wearing a white robe and his short hair was braided and knotted on top of his head. His skin tone was much darker than his own, like the fishermen he has seen near the coast.
It was a deep brown color…
It really suited that man's unruly spiritual energy that was flowing around him.
In fact, this man reminded him so much of Hua ro.
"Wow isn't he handsome," the girl peaked over his shoulder.
"Yeah,"
Wren suddenly felt excruciating pain from his nipple. Clenching his jaws he held back a scream.
"What is it? You look like you ate a fly?" Camilla moved closer to his face and touched his forehead.
"N-nothing….. I do not think he looks handsome. In fact my mate looks super-duper handsome. He is very beautiful."
"Mate?"
Wren froze. 'Oh my, I blabbered.'
"My friend. We call them mates right.. haha." he awkwardly scratched his head.
These two girls were from the Sheli family. He must careful about his identity as a beast cultivator. If his identity was exposed, it was very risky for him to live with the humans in the academy.
"Oh so your guy friend is handsome… you like him?"
"I love him," Wren admitted truthfully.
"That's nice. I want a boyfriend too. a handsome one if I can choose," she pouted.
"You'll find love soon, don't worry,"
"Thanks, Wren. I feel like we have become close."
"Want to be friends?"
"Yep~ yeah! we have a travel partner~"
Wren was more than happy to have another friend.
But he could feel slight biting and pinches from inside his shirt.
'Feng disapproves… hmm I should listen to him.'
"Camilla after the shield opens up, we'll go our separate ways. I don't wish to depend on you and you shouldn't depend on me either,"
Camilla smiled dazzling at him. "Definitely ~ see I didn't judge your character wrong."
As usual, Wren did not understand this statement. He just nodded.
as he sitting there blankly he remembered something.
"hey, are we allowed to bring our belongings for our test?"
"of course you are. How else do you think we can survive? They won't provide us food and drinks," she said, shaking her red color pouch. "All my babies are in here,"
Wren frowned deeply. That old man in the book store asked for his belongings and said that the test would not allow the participants to bring their own things.
'So it was a lie. I knew something was fishy. Nice thing I avoided falling into his scheme,'
Suddenly there was a small whirring sound. Three more participants climbed over to their ledge.
They were the ones who flew towards the shores initially.
Their clean and crisp clothes were disheveled and ice shards were growing on their wet hair.
They most likely took a dunk in the sea before flying over here in a hurry.
All three of them were trembling like a wet leaf.
"Y-young.. master.. we.. we should regain our.. body heat.." one of them tremblingly whispered to him.
"Br-ing me….. their artifacts and clothes…." The man whispered whilst trembling
Wren became cautious. He moved back close to the icy walls and put a bit of distance from these men.
When one is in a life or death situation. they become desperate.
These men were desperate.
in a moment it all started.
Chaos…
It was chaotic.
The men who were desperate for warmth tried to blackmail a few of the cultivators for their spiritual treasures and clothes.
It turned into a full-out bout.
Swords flew around, many were screaming and crying..
"Wow that looks rough," a small voice whispered beside him.
It was Camilla and her female fined. They both were also sticking to the walls like a lizard, watching the men fight amongst themselves.
"Aren't you going to help them Wren?"
"Why must I?" he gave her a look.
Suddenly the girl smirked widely. "I like your answer. Usually, men try to impress me by acting the hero. That act was getting boring,"
Wren glanced at her. "I'm not interested in you or anyone except my Feng."
"Feng? That's a nice name. He must be a lucky man. Is he waiting for you in the city or your hometown?"
"In our hometown. He is waiting for me. He's adorable really. You should see his smile, it can light up the whole room. Gosh, I really miss it,"
It had been only a few hours but he really missed seeing Feng's face and his beautiful smile. But the warmth in his chest made him joyful.
His mate was very close at all times.
Sometimes he felt like he was entrapping his lover sometimes by hiding him in his clothes… it felt bad. But he was possessive. He did not want anyone to look or like his lover.
He wanted him all to himself.
Plus he was not strong yet to protect him.
If someone discovered that Feng was a legendary phoenix he will be hunted down.
He coldly glanced at the ground.
Suddenly, he felt a gaze directed at him.
Wren glanced to his side at the white-clothed man who was looking his way.. His golden eyes slightly glowed amber.
