The End Times as a Song

Chapter 405 Try your best

Looking at the clean, sensible, well-behaved, and innocent Xiong Xi, Uncle Zhe couldn't bear to scold her harshly. He opened his heart and explained things to Xiong Xi.

"Uncle Zhe...!"

Xiong Xi looked at Uncle Zhe with emotion and called out.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. You’ve just taken human form, and no one else in Fangcao Village knows you. If Aran finds out that I’m leaving you alone in Fangcao Village, she’ll scold me to death. I don’t think you’d want to stay in Fangcao Village alone if I didn’t take you with me.”

Zheyi interrupted Xiongxi and scolded him. Zheyi's face showed a worried expression, and his tone was filled with resentment that he couldn't hold back. He was so anxious that he couldn't speak.

"Uncle Zhe, don't be angry, it's all my fault...! I just transformed into human form, and I'm not walking properly yet, which delayed your search for Ran's mother."

Xiong Xi obediently lowered his head and admitted his mistake. It was indeed he who delayed the journey of the Broken Wing, and that was an unchangeable fact.

“This is not your fault. If Aran doesn’t want you to find her, there’s no use in you being fast. She was in a hurry this time and actually attacked us. I was just worried. Xiong Xi, Uncle Zhe’s tone was not good just now, please don’t hold it against him.”

Looking at the clean, sensible, well-behaved, and innocent Xiong Xi, Uncle Zhe regretted his harsh words and scolding of her. He opened up to Xiong Xi and explained things to her.

"Uncle Zhe...!"

Xiong Xi looked at Uncle Zhe with emotion and called out.

"There's nothing we can do about it. You've just taken human form, and no one else in Fangcao Village knows you. If Aran finds out that I'm leaving you alone in Fangcao Village, she'll scold me to death. I doubt you'd want to stay in Fangcao Village alone if I didn't take you with me."

Zheyi saw his own past mistakes reflected in Xiong Xi's eyes. He took a deep breath, walked over to Xiong Xi, patted him on the shoulder, and soothed him.

"Yes...! Thank you, Uncle Zhe, for making this possible. I'm really touched that you didn't abandon me. Actually, I was worried about my sister too."

The bear attacked the man with broken wings to express his gratitude and shared his thoughts.

"Alright, alright, stop talking, let's hurry on our way! It'll get dark again if we don't move soon."

Zheyi glanced at the setting sun and grew impatient, urging Xiong Xi to hurry up.

"Oh...! What is this?"

A crow flew by and dropped a white, fluffy thing on Xiong Xi's head. Xiong Xi touched it, squeezed it, and sniffed it. He looked at the strange-smelling thing with curiosity and asked a question.

"That's crow droppings. Oh no, this is terrible! We have to hurry and find Aran. This is not a good sign."

Zheyi's expression changed drastically. After speaking to Xiong Xi, he immediately cast a spell to collect any trace of Xiao Yuanran's aura remaining in the air. He wouldn't let go of even the slightest bit of it.

"Uncle Zhe...! How is he...?"

Xiong Xi secretly smeared crow droppings on Zheyi's body and asked him casually.

"Bear attack, this way...! Let's go...!"

Zheyi urged Xiong Xi urgently, and without saying another word, walked in the direction Xiao Yuanran had just walked.

"Okay, Uncle Zhe, I definitely won't hold you back this time."

Xiong Xi did his best to keep up with the broken-winged man's pace.

Then, on the other side, Lin Yin led Huan Ruge to a desolate and run-down town. The town's signboard was covered in cobwebs.

"I send you my love...! Lin Yin, didn't you say you'd take me back to Fangcao Village? Why did you bring me here?"
