Chapter 6: 005 订情之物

Xiao Luo grabbed his arm, looking pitiful as she said, "Senior Brother, don't leave me here alone, I'm scared!" It was a genuine outpouring of emotion; she truly was afraid.

Perhaps because she looked sufficiently pitiable, even a man with a heart of stone would have softened. Feng Yun's voice unconsciously softened a bit as well: "Xiao Luo, wait here for Master and me to return. Don't go anywhere, and don't be afraid!"

"No! I'm scared!" Xiao Luo appeared to tremble all over as she threw herself into his embrace. With just that one movement, she became a fangirl again. This man's embrace was so large and broad, so warm; it would be wonderful to be held like this for a lifetime.

However, dreams are easily broken. Another burst of urgent eagle whistles drifted up from the foot of the mountain. This time, the sound was stranger—one long and one short, like some kind of secret code.

Feng Yun's expression changed even further. He pushed Xiao Luo aside, quickly pulled something from his person, and gave it a light twist in his hand. It immediately split into two halves, and he stuffed one of the halves into Xiao Luo's hand. "Hold this tight. Remember, you must not let anyone see it, and you must never let it leave your side. This is a gift from me; you must protect it with your life!"

"Th-this, what is this?" Xiao Luo blinked her eyes, flipping through the object in her hand. Her eyes suddenly widened; wow, this was a real treasure.

It turned out that what Feng Yun had given her was an oval, egg-sized object that glowed entirely red, looking just like a ruby. Upon closer inspection, a lifelike bird was actually carved onto the surface of the gem.

"Wow! This is so cool! Senior Brother, what kind of treasure is this?" Xiao Luo still thought it was just a ruby, and her two large eyes were filled with nothing but the thought of money.

"This, this is... a token of affection!" Feng Yun seemed unable to find a better reason, so after dropping that sentence, he leaped away and vanished into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.

"A token of affection?" Xiao Luo stood there stunned, as if her acupoints had been struck. Holding the object, she was actually trembling with excitement. No way—her incredibly handsome Senior Brother actually gave her a token of affection? Could it be that he had eyes for her?

Wow! Should she sing a song titled *A Handsome Senior Brother Fell from the Sky*?

Regardless of whether Feng Yun could hear her, she still shouted toward the direction where he had disappeared, "Senior Brother! Don't worry! I will definitely protect it with my life!"

After saying this, Xiao Luo felt her cheeks burning. This was her first love! So this is what the feeling of being in love is like. Oh my god, if only she had transmigrated earlier to meet Senior Brother!

Having once thought countless times about returning to the modern world, she now actually hoped to grow old with her incredibly handsome Senior Brother here. She carefully tucked the treasure into her inner garment, so happy she wanted to scream at the top of her lungs for the whole world to hear.

Aside from her Master and Senior Brother, she had no other friends on this mountain. Therefore, whenever she had something on her mind, she would tell it to that cute little medicinal raccoon. She had built a small nest out of stones for the little raccoon, and whenever she had free time, she would crawl inside to accompany it.

At this moment, she also crawled into the little raccoon's nest, hugging the sleeping little creature as she said blissfully, "Little cutie, do you know? Senior Brother gave me a token of affection! He likes me! He likes me! Do you know? I like him so much too!"

Like a lovesick fangirl, she lay in the little raccoon's nest, fantasizing about a beautiful future life with her Senior Brother.

She had absolutely no idea that danger had quietly descended!
