The Golden Eagle King brought Murong Ling'er safely to his nest with a gust of wind.

The nest is like an aerial fortress, standing majestically on a steep cliff. It is made up of countless thick branches and tough vines. It looks huge and wild. In the cracks of the nest, there are also several unknown exotic flowers growing, swaying gently in the breeze, adding a unique vitality to this cold eagle's nest.

Murong Ling'er sat upright in the nest, with delicacies from the mountains and forests placed in front of her.

Each wild fruit is plump and round, with a bright red color, as if it had just been picked from the fruit trees in fairyland, exuding a fresh fruity fragrance.

"What? Not to your liking? These are all carefully prepared for you by me."

The huge body of the Golden Eagle King stood at the edge of the nest, like a majestic monarch. Its sharp eyes stared at Murong Ling'er, not understanding why he presented the best things to her, but she remained indifferent and did not even show the slightest desire to taste them.

Murong Linger raised her head slightly, gave the Golden Eagle King a sullen look, and said, "Weren't you anxious for me to rescue you? What are your plans now? Are you okay?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Eagle King's head, which had been held high, instantly drooped, his voice filled with dejection and exhaustion. "Alas! My words are not false. Today, I was tricked by a sinister woman. She took advantage of my unpreparedness and fed me a strange insect. Right now, I feel an evil force running wild within me, and I feel extremely uncomfortable."

"Hmm?" Murong Ling'er frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

The Golden Eagle King sighed helplessly and began to narrate what had happened.

Today, after escorting Zhao Hao back to the capital, it returned to its nest and, as usual, circled and patrolled over its territory.

Suddenly, it discovered two familiar figures - the two women who escaped after the last fight.

At that time, it didn't want to get entangled with them any more, but one of the women accidentally looked up and saw it soaring in the air. She was so excited that she danced with joy and shouted loudly to her companions.

The two women then chased the Golden Eagle King through the mountains and forests. Their figures shuttled through the woods like two nimble hares.

Every time the golden eagle king is about to swoop down to hunt, they always appear at the inopportune time, scaring the prey into fleeing in all directions.

The patience of the Golden Eagle King was gradually worn out by repeated interference, and finally, it was completely enraged.

It swooped down and accurately grabbed one of the women with its sharp claws.

Just when it was about to teach this ignorant guy a lesson, the woman did something surprising.

She desperately pulled out a glowing insect from her arms and threw it at the Golden Eagle King.

The Golden Eagle King was unable to dodge, and the object instantly stuck to his chest, followed by an evil force that penetrated into his body.

The Golden Eagle King realized that something was wrong and left the woman behind to find Murong Ling'er.

Murong Ling'er listened quietly, already forming some guesses in her mind. She gently raised her hand, smoothed the hair by her ear, and asked slowly, "Do you still remember what those two women looked like? What were their characteristics?"

The Golden Eagle King tilted his head, trying hard to recall, his huge head shaking from side to side, as if searching for blurry images in his mind.

After a long moment, it simply shook its head and said in distress, "I only remember that they looked strange. Compared to you, there was a world of difference. In my eyes, their faces were like those of the ugliest mountain beasts, devoid of any beauty."

When Murong Ling'er heard this answer, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Only then did she realize what a stupid question she had asked.

The Golden Eagle King is a beast after all, so how can he depict the appearance of a human as detailed as a human?

In its eyes, perhaps human faces are just vague outlines, and the boundaries between beauty and ugliness are also extremely vague, just as it is difficult for humans to distinguish the subtle differences between each flying bird and each walking animal.

In fact, Murong Ling'er already knew the identities of the two people.

Some time ago, she sent the Golden Eagle King to look for Zhao Hao. On the way, she met the witch and her maid. After a fierce confrontation, Feiyu and her maid fled with injuries.

Unexpectedly, they hid near Leizhou City to recuperate. Today, they must have gone up the mountain to collect herbs and accidentally encountered the Golden Eagle King.

Fei Yu had always been obsessed with the Golden Eagle King. He let it escape last time, so he naturally would not miss this excellent opportunity this time. So he used the same trick again and set his sights on the Golden Eagle King again.

This witch is really stubborn!

Thinking of this, Murong Ling'er frowned slightly, waved her hand, and a dark blue spiritual consciousness moved around the Golden Eagle King like a spirit snake.

After a moment, she let out a light "eh" and confirmed that the Golden Eagle King was poisoned by a Gu. Fortunately, the Gu had just entered the body and had not yet penetrated deep into the skin, so it was not difficult to remove it.

Murong Ling'er opened her red lips and said, "Come here!"

Hearing this, the Golden Eagle King folded his wings and walked forward obediently, his eyes full of confusion and uneasiness. "Do you know what kind of conspiracy has been committed against me?"

Murong Ling'er nodded slightly. "You've been infected with the Puppet Gu. If it invades your heart, it will slowly devour your essence. Then, you'll become a puppet of the one who cast the Gu, at their mercy."

The Golden Eagle King trembled all over. He had been roaming the sky for many years, and except for the time he was humiliated by Murong Ling'er, he had never suffered such humiliation.

Thinking of the two women who left triumphantly after cheating, the anger in its heart burned like a raging flame. It secretly swore that if it met them again, it would make them taste the feeling of being crushed by a tremendous force.

However, the most urgent task is to get rid of the hateful poisonous insect in the body.

The Golden Eagle King shook himself and said hurriedly, "My beauty, you must save me. I don't want to be someone else's puppet. Besides, I'm in danger this time because I helped you save people."

Murong Ling'er raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms over her chest, and said with a half-smile: "I asked you for help, but I also paid you in full. We've already settled our differences. Why should I go to the trouble of saving you?"

The Golden Eagle King was stunned. He didn't expect Murong Ling'er to respond like this.

After a moment, the Golden Eagle King's eyes swiveled as a plan came to mind. He deliberately feigned a pitiful appearance, curling up his massive body on the ground, his right wing trembling slightly. "My dear beauty, if you abandon me, I'm afraid I won't be alive soon! Think about it! If I die, without my overlord, the forest will be in chaos. Those vicious beasts that I usually suppress will surely stir up trouble."

"The peace of the people around here will be in jeopardy if that happens. My dear lady, you care about the people and will not sit idly by and watch this happen!"

Murong Ling'er watched the Golden Eagle King's "performance" and couldn't help but chuckle, "You, Eagle, are quite clever. Well, well, let me ask you, when those two women were casting the Gu, was there anything unusual around them?"
