The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking-Chapter 106 - Meeting the Black Eagle
Chapter 106: Meeting the Black Eagle
Xia Muqing asked in confusion, โAre you calling me?โ
Flying Bird nodded and commanded arrogantly, โFollow me.โ f๐ฟe๐๐ธe๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ก.c๐๐ฆ
Xia Muqing had no idea how she had recognized her or if something else had happened, but now, she could only follow her.
The others waiting for Xia Muqing in the cave were a little worried, when they saw that she didnโt return.
Jiang Yifan opened the hole and looked outside. There were still women walking around. They were men, and once they left the cave, they would be too conspicuous. So they could only wait.
When the sky darkened and Xia Muqing still didnโt return, Jiang Yifan and Jin Chao glanced at each other and decided to go out to take a look.

Xia Muqing followed Flying Bird to a palace. The sign on the entrance of the palace said, โHundred Flowers Gatheringโ. After entering, the palace was split into several sections. A sign was hung outside each area.
So this was the Hundred Flowers Clan.
Flying Bird asked arrogantly, โWhich clan are you from?โ
She had brought Xia Muqing back because she had mistakenly assumed that she was a member of the Hundred Flowers Clan.
Xia Muqing glanced at the signboards hanging around the palace and casually said, โIโm from the Orchid Clan.โ
Flying Birdโs expression changed and she snapped, โNonsense. Iโm the leader of the Orchid Clan. But I donโt recognize you.โ
Xia Muqing didnโt expect her to be so unlucky and she didnโt know what to say.
Flying Bird asked curiously, โAre you one of the new ones who just joined the sect?โ
Xia Muqing nodded.
Flying Bird was even more puzzled. She had never heard of anyone who joined when she was an adult.
It asked curiously, โAs long as youโre above 13 years old, you can participate in the Hundred Flowers selections. Why did you join so late despite your beauty?โ
Xia Muqing had already calmed down. โI didnโt participate in the selections previously. This is my first time.โ
Flying Bird was even more puzzled, but she didnโt say a word.
She walked forward and said, โSince youโre from the Orchid Clan, thatโs easy. I need your help with something.โ
She brought Xia Muqing to a room and opened the secret door behind a bookshelf. A long passageway was formed and a deafening sound came from inside. The sound was somewhat familiar.
Xia Muqingโs heart skipped a beat. It was the black eagleโs voice.
Despite feeling anxious, she didnโt show it on her face at all. Her composure made Flying Bird even more satisfied.
โGo in.โ With that, she took the lead and entered.
Xia Muqing followed closely behind.
Entering the dark room, Flying Bird lit a candle. Only then did Xia Muqing see everything clearly. Her eyes instantly turned red and fury filled her chest.
The beast imprisoned here was the black eagle. Its wings had been penetrated by two iron nails that were as thick as an arm and it was nailed to the wall. Its neck was tightly bound by a chain. All the feathers on its neck had fallen off, and its bare flesh was riddled with wounds.
Flying Bird pointed at the black eagle coldly and said, โThis beast is too disobedient. Iโll leave it to you to guard it in the future. Your mission is to make it tell us where the other Azure Cloud Eagles are.โ
Xia Muqing used all her willpower to suppress the anger in her heart. She asked in a hushed whisper, โWhy me?โ
Flying Bird didnโt detect the strangeness in her voice. โThis beast lusts after beauties. Back then, I tricked him out using a beauty. I didnโt expect it to be so useless now. I think youโre not bad-looking, so Iโll let you try.โ
โHowever, this beast is very important to the Goddess Clan. If you accidentally let him go, Iโll skin you alive.โ
Flying Bird suddenly approached her. Xia Muqing pretended to be frightened and nodded repeatedly. f๐ฏโฏe๐โฏ๐๐๐จัตel.c๐๐ฆ
Only then did she touch Xia Muqingโs face in satisfaction. โIf you succeed, I naturally wonโt treat you badly. You can pick any man in the backyard.โ
Xia Muqing asked in surprise, โReally? Iโll do my best.โ
Flying Bird smiled and walked out of the dark room.
After she left, Xia Muqing retracted her expression and approached the black eagle carefully.
