Luo Qi’s face was pinched red in a small patch, but he still looked very happy. He flapped the wings on his back, casting a small, translucent shadow on the ground, somewhat dreamlike.
Luo Qi’s eyes darted around. He tightened his grip on Ye Mu’s hand and asked with great interest, "Do you want to fly?"
Ye Mu’s eyes widened, trying to understand the meaning of Luo Qi’s words, "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Qi scooped him up by the waist and lifted him into the air.
Ye Mu yelped in surprise and instinctively grabbed Luo Qi’s shoulders. Luo Qi’s wings flapped, and the two of them quickly rose higher and higher, ascending towards the sky.
Ye Mu’s hands, resting on Luo Qi’s shoulders, curled up uncomfortably. This posture felt so much like they were dancing ballroom at a banquet, with him playing the... female role.
Luo Qi blinked, clearly noticing this too, as if he had finally managed to gain an advantage over this human prodigy.
He coughed lightly, lowered his voice, and said, "Man, I advise you to hold on tight, or I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."
Ye Mu slowly formed a "?"
Luo Qi happily shook his head, flapping his wings even faster as he flew towards the higher heavens.
From a greater distance, Li Ya’s expression changed. This troublesome little grub, he had only just learned to fly, and he dared to take someone with him into the sky?! This was no joke!
Li Ya spoke sternly,
summoning the insect generals guarding the surroundings and ordering them to bring soft cushions, just in case any danger arose.
Li Ya frowned, her gaze closely following Luo Qi and Ye Mu. No matter how outstanding the two cubs were, they were still only four-year-old children. What if...
Li Ya dared not think further. She finally understood why Bosya had said he was startled by Luo Qi yesterday. This little rascal! How could he be so reckless?
She took a deep breath and shouted towards Luo Qi, "Little Highness, come down quickly! You've only just learned to fly, this is too dangerous!"
Luo Qi held Ye Mu tightly with both hands. The wind blew their bangs askew, making them look like two little lunatics. He shouted down to Li Ya:
"Aunt Li Ya, don't worry, I'll come down when I get tired."
Li Ya was about to say more when she suddenly cried out, "Watch out in front!"
Luo Qi snapped back to attention and dodged a bird flying towards them. The bird was dazed and seemed to only fly in straight lines. After passing Luo Qi, it flew straight into a tree.
Luo Qi was startled by the bird, his hands trembling, and Ye Mu swayed with the violent movement.
Li Ya pushed off with her ankles and leaped upwards with incredible force, a height that seemed impossible for someone who appeared so delicate. She grabbed Luo Qi’s ankle.
Li Ya held Luo Qi’s ankle with one hand and Ye Mu with the other, bringing the two cubs down to the ground.
Luo Qi was held upside down, one leg dangling, his arms hanging limply.
The little cub’s face was still flushed with what was either excitement or fear. Hanging upside down, he gave Li Ya a fawning smile, "Aunt Li Ya, you're amazing."
Li Ya smiled cruelly, lifted Luo Qi with one hand, and pinched his cheek with the other. Unlike Ye Mu, she pulled Luo Qi’s face slightly out of shape.
"You little scamp, do you think I won't hit you just because you're the Crown Prince?"
Luo Qi slurped and said, "How could Aunt Li Ya bear to?"
Li Ya jiggled her hand, "What a glib little scamp."
She sighed, placed Luo Qi on the ground, and said, "Although you're unharmed this time, doing this is very dangerous, and I must teach you a lesson."
Luo Qi and Ye Mu stood side by side, trying their best to look at Li Ya with wronged expressions.
Ye Mu glanced at the person beside him and silently moved a step away, only to be pulled back by Luo Qi.
Li Ya smiled slightly, "Your punishment is to train with each other using stones. Whoever hits the other ten times first gets to go back for dinner first."
Luo Qi: "!!!" Heaven is going to destroy this fat cub!
