Happy nodded honestly. Right now, all his power was sealed—he couldn't escape even if he wanted to, and even if he could, he wasn't willing to gamble. He didn't want to be powerless forever; he just hoped that once their business was done, he'd be released.
So Happy stayed obediently with them, helping to find a demon who might know about the Nine-Heaven Ice Lotus.
In the snow, the three humans and one demon traveled for a while, but a blizzard forced them to shelter in the woods—they couldn't keep flying.
The three humans and Happy sat around the fire. Happy stayed silent, quietly sitting there, afraid he'd accidentally do something to upset them.
“Aren’t you afraid we’ll kill you?” Evan Yang asked curiously, noticing how diligent Happy had been along the way.
Happy froze for a moment. “I am, but there’s nothing I can do.”
“Relax, I’m just messing with you. I won’t kill you. Once we find out where the Nine-Heaven Ice Lotus is, I’ll let you go. But who are you taking us to see?” Evan asked, curious.
“A famous leader in our tribe. I’ll take you to him—he knows a lot,” Happy replied.
“Oh? Will he help us?” Evan asked, curious.
“He will. He’s my uncle, and he listens to me,” Happy said.
