Passionate and Unrestrained

"Besides, there's a lot of depth to those two squads of Flying Cavalry." Qi Shen smiled.

"Aren't the two teams about equally matched?" Zhao Zheng asked in confusion.

"Their strength is indeed about the same," Qi Shen said. "But the two Flying Cavalry leaders on Xiao Yan's side have been at odds for a long time."

"At odds for a long time? How can they cooperate in battle then?" Zhao Zheng shook his head. "Looks like Xiao Yan is definitely going to lose!"

Grace bit her lip, frowning as she looked toward the two squads fighting as one on the sea.

Is Evan Xiao really going to lose?

It really doesn't look good.

The two teams on Evan Xiao's side refused to cooperate, fighting on their own, and were quickly defeated by Zane Tuoba's men.

When they were halfway to Red Sand Island, Zane Tuoba's team was clearly in the lead.

After that, it was too far away to see clearly.

About half an hour later, a red-crowned golden eagle flew over first.

The person on top was Evan Xiao.

Grace's heart leaped with joy—he came back first!

But right after, a black lightning eagle caught up.

The owner of the lightning eagle was Zane Tuoba!

Both the lightning eagle and the red-crowned golden eagle were eagle species.

The red-crowned golden eagle was stronger in combat than the lightning eagle.

But the lightning eagle was faster than the red-crowned golden eagle.

Soon, Zane Tuoba caught up to Evan Xiao and sent a fireball spell flying straight at him.

At the same time, a soft whip lashed out toward the embroidered pouch in Evan Xiao's hand.

Zane Tuoba's fireball spell was the real deal—hundreds of times stronger than the tiny sparks Grace could conjure.

The fireball was as big as a human head, condensed from vital energy. If it hit someone, they'd go up in flames.

And Evan Xiao, suspended in mid-air, could barely dodge.

Grace's heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

Just then, Evan Xiao turned and glanced at the lightning eagle.

Then, out of nowhere, Zane Tuoba's lightning eagle stopped flying, as if someone had frozen it in mid-air.

It suddenly flipped over like it had gone mad.

With that flip... Zane Tuoba naturally fell off.

Splash! He hit the water, sending up a spray of waves.

The fireball veered off course, missing Evan Xiao and falling into the sea far away...

Evan Xiao rode the red-crowned golden eagle and landed smoothly on the shore, holding the prize as he walked toward Tuoba Hong.

Today, he wore a fitted outfit perfect for flying.

Underneath that outfit, his tall, striking figure made hearts race; his noble elegance shone from within, his handsome face, rugged demeanor, and cool gaze—he was simply otherworldly!

Grace was inexplicably excited—she almost wanted to shout.

How could she be like this?

This silly fangirl problem—always popping up at the worst times...

Grace shook her head, trying to suppress her restless excitement and gave herself a quick reality check.

But just as she calmed down, a chorus of shrieks erupted all around her.

Girl A: "General Xiao is so handsome!"

Girl B: "General Xiao, I really like you!"

Girl C: "General Xiao, are you married? I really want to marry you!"

Girl D: "Even if you are, it's fine—I can be your concubine!"

Girl B: "Shameless! You're so ugly, General Xiao would never pick you!"

Girl D: "I don't care, I don't care! I won't marry anyone but General Xiao in this lifetime!"

Girl C: "Me too! Me too!"

...

The shouts grew louder and louder, merging into a wave of sound that drowned out even the roar of the sea.
