Vermilion Bird and Fire spiraled down until they, the mother and daughter, landed in front of the Vermilion Bird's Cave Mansion. Only then did all the glowing lights converge. Fire constantly rubbed her head against Vermilion Bird's neck, letting out low chirping sounds. Large tears continued to stream from her eyes.
Vermilion Bird's wings were fully spread out, covering Fire's body within them. Lowering her head, her eyelids flickered with golden light, clearly overwhelmed with emotions.
Almost six years had passed. While six years may not seem significant to god beasts like Vermilion Bird, their longing for their children is no less than that of humans. Mother and daughter reunion; her joy was beyond words.
Ji Dong did not interrupt them; instead, he silently landed aside, drew back his wings, and quietly watched them to recover his consumed magical energy.
