C19 The Infant of the Dream
"My name is Yuv Wen, and I'm a Golden Crow. I live in the Scarlet Cloth District, and I have already clocked nine years this year. Although I still have 991 years before I become an adult, I already know a lot of things. I have a lot of understanding of inherited memories. Even you guys don't have as much knowledge as I do, so don't treat me like a child! "
A Golden Crow that was less than a meter long stood on a Fusang Tree. It faced the two Golden Crows in front of it and shouted while flapping its wings. Even though Yuv Wen was standing on the ground, it could still look at the other two.
However, the two Great Golden Crows in front of Yuv Wen ignored its shout and looked at each other. One of them lowered its head and picked up Yuv Wen, who was still talking non-stop, and they flew up together. Even though Yuv Wen's leg had cut off a branch of the Wood of Fusang, he did not care.
"I am a genius. I have more understanding of the inherited memories than you guys. Put me down and don't treat me like a child! I am a genius..."
Unfortunately, the two Golden Crows still ignored him and continued flying in the direction from which they had come. With a light flap of their wings, the two Golden Crow's bodies seemed to be covered in white gauze. A cloud of white mist appeared.
The latter halves of the two Golden Crows were also covered by this white "cloud." It could only be seen as a shadow, revealing the tail feathers of the other party that were as brilliant as fire. Then, the two Golden Crow increased their speed once again, accompanied by a loud sound. The white cloud was instantly tossed behind by the two Golden Crows, and it did not chase them.
Yuv Wen, who was still chattering non-stop, was also frightened by the loud sound and shut his mouth. He swallowed the words that he was about to say, and the Wood of Fusang branches that had been grabbed by his feet fell down in fear.
The two Golden Crows had not flown for long before a huge Fusang Tree appeared in a distance. The Fusang Tree was so huge that it made them seem extremely tiny as they flew toward it.
As the distance between the crows and the tree closed, the Wood of Fusang became bigger and bigger. Even though the crows were huge, in front of this Fusang Tree, they looked like two tiny humans that had barged into a huge city.
The two huge Golden Crow gently landed on one of the branches of the huge Fusang Tree. Their rough movements had now become unusually gentle. They did not cause any damage to the huge Fusang Tree under their feet. Even the wind did not blow much.
Yuv Wen, who had finally calmed down along the way, also struggled out of the mouth of one of the large Golden Crow and landed on the branch of the Wood of Fusang.
Three Golden Crows, two big and one small, stood on one of the branches of the Wood of Fusang. Under their feet, it was impossible to tell that it was just a tree branch. Instead, it looked more like a wide road.
One of the big Golden Crows stretched out its third giant claw and stepped on Yuv Wen's tail feather. Yuv Wen, who had been trying to sneak away, shivered like a mouse caught by a cat. Even its feathers exploded. Yuv Wen turned around and flashed a big smile at the huge Golden Crow that was stepping on its tail feather.
Then, it was obediently transfixed to the same spot, not moving at all. He even wanted to find a hole to hide in.
After a long time, a two-legged Golden Crow flew down from the top of the Wood of Fusang. This Golden Crow was much smaller than the two large Golden Crows, and its outer appearance was also much gentle. It wasn't as strong as the two Golden Crows that brought Yuv Wen back.
Seeing the flying Golden Crow, the Golden Crow that was stepping on Yuv Wen's tail feathers retracted its third leg and let go of Yuv Wen's tail feathers.
Yuv Wen also saw the flying Golden Crow. It felt that Wu was backing it up. Yuv Wen placed the tail feathers between its two wings and the wings to brush off the dust on its tail feathers. It then stared at the two Golden Crows who wanted to kill the opponent with their eyes.
"Don't let him run away again." The Three-legged Golden Crow that had been stepping on Yuv Wen's tail feathers said to the Golden Crow that had just landed.
Yuv Wen had already hidden behind the other party- the Golden Crow that had just landed. However, it still stuck its head out from between the wings of the Golden Crow and its body, staring at the two large Golden Crows in front of it.
The third Golden Crow patted Yuv Wen's head with its wings and nodded at the two Great Golden Crows in front of him without saying anything.
The two Great Golden Crows did not have any intention of continuing the conversation. Instead, they took off again; they still had other things to do.
A white "muslin dress" floated up behind the two Great Golden Crows once again. However, this time, there was no loud sound. Yuv Wen stared at the two Great Golden Crows with an even fiercer gaze. However, when its eyes rested on the smaller Golden Crow, Yuv Wen's look was not scary at all. Instead, it was adorable.
The Golden Crow with a more gentle appearance watched the two huge Golden Crows disappear into the horizon. Then, it lowered its head and looked at the small Golden Crow that was still hiding in its wings. It stared at Yuv Wen without saying a word.
Yuv Wen felt a little embarrassed from being looked at. It raised its tail feather towards the other crow and said, "Grandma Lu Jun, look: my tail feather has been broken by that big Golden Crow. Don't be angry, okay?"
Lu Jun, who was also the Golden Crow who had rushed over, saw that there was only a little dust on Yuv Wen's tail feather. She stretched out her wings and patted Yuv Wen's head. Then, she lowered her head and picked Yuv Wen up with her mouth, turned around, and flew to the top layer of the Wood of Fusang.
There were nine small Golden Crows that were about the same size as Yuv Wen. They were playing a game together.
Seeing Lu Jun fly up, they immediately quieted down. When they saw Yuv Wen, who was being held by Lu Jun, they pointed their short wings at the former and smiled at each other.
Lu Jun put down Yuv Wen and said, "Next year, you will be responsible for cleaning the place."
After saying that, she spread her wings and flew to the upper level of the Wood of Fusang.
Seeing Lu Jun leave, the little Golden Crows immediately ran to Yuv Wen's side.
"Yuv Wen, we bet on exactly when you would be captured. In the end, you were caught before we even discussed the bet." A Golden Crow bigger than Yuv Wen looked at it and spoke.
"Bo Yu, if it wasn't for a small problem that happened today, I would have escaped. I wouldn't have been caught." Yuv Wen defended itself.
"Yuv Wen, you are going to clean up the place for three years. Do you still want to run?" One of the Golden Crows, which was even thinner than Yuv Wen, asked it.
"Ji Xing, I am not running anymore. I've already been cleaning that place for three years. If I run again, I'll probably have to clean until I'm an adult." Yuv Wen stuck its head out to look at the upper layer of the Wood of Fusang and answered loudly.
Unfortunately, the upper layer was completely blocked by the branches and mulberry leaves of the Wood of Fusang, so Yuv Wen could not see what Lu Jun was doing up there at all.
