Chapter 25: Chapter 20: Refuse to be Reckless before the Six-God Gear (Seeking Recommendations)
"Sherri isn't an ordinary horse?"
"Of course not!"
Bailuo could feel Sherri's closeness to him, even if the whole world betrayed him, Sherri would stand by his side.
Whether the master is good or evil, the Miracle Creature doesn't care.
Their sole purpose of existence is to fulfill their master's wishes, and as long as it makes him happy, they would do anything he asks.
Absolute gentleness, absolute cleverness, absolute loyalty, they never abandon.
"Sherri, you are a Pegasus, the only Pegasus in the whole world!"
Miracles are unique, while there might have been Pegasus in history, that was another, not the Pegasus of the Bai Luo Family.
Similarly, unless Bailuo fell, there would only be one place in the world where a Pegasus exists, and that is Yatun!
The Pegasus would become exclusive to the Yatun Clan, becoming his exclusive.
"I don't understand."
Sherri was psychically attuned, but she had limited experience and didn't quite grasp Bailuo's meaning.
But as a Pegasus, she could clearly feel her power and her mission.
"Master, Sherri will take you soaring over this land! Wherever master wishes to go, Sherri will take master there!"
Having said that, Sherri suddenly flapped her wings vigorously, and Bailuo didn't feel any inertia, but the scenery beneath his feet retreated at an astonishing speed.
Fast!
Unimaginably fast!
Sherri flew through the air, soaring with her wings wide, yet she was more swift and agile than any bird.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
The whooshing of the wind could be heard by his ears, not loud, as if large noise had been blocked out.
His face didn't feel as though it was being torn by the wind; instead, there was a refreshing breeze caressing it gently, like a woman's hand, tender as water.
"This is..."
Bailuo rode on Sherri's back, gazing into the distance, looking down at the rolling mountain ranges beneath him.
It was an exhilarating feeling unlike any other, and Bailuo restrained the urge to shout aloud, "I've been on planes in my past life, but compared to this, it's just not the same."
Everyone dreams of flying in the sky.
The taste of freedom, once anyone has experienced it, is unforgettable for a lifetime.
Bailuo had never seen the world from this distance before, and even the cable cars and planes of his past life were entirely different.
Paragliding and skydiving might come close, but how could they compare to a Pegasus? This pleasure was brought by a miracle.
"Can you go even faster, Sherri?"
"I can!"
Sherri accelerated, then accelerated more, so fast that only a white streak of light was left in the sky.
Bailuo did not know what it felt like to race in a car, but riding on Sherri, he experienced for the first time the thrill and excitement that high speed could bring.
"What about higher?"
Bailuo asked, "Can we go any higher?"
"Sherri will take master up!"
At that moment, Sherri desired only to show her best side to her master, continually ascending until they reached a point even birds couldn't reach.
In theory, this should have been very dangerous.
However, neither Sherri nor Bailuo felt anything but a sense of normalcy.
If they couldn't conquer the sky, then would it still be a Pegasus?
Sherri was a Pegasus. No matter how high, no matter how far, nothing could obstruct her wings, her strides.
"Enough, enough, enough!"
Bailuo secretly rejoiced that he didn't have a fear of heights, for at their current altitude, they could no longer see anything on the ground.
All that met the eye were shades of green, blue, and brown.
Yet the land remained boundless, and Bailuo didn't see the curved horizon as seen from high above Earth, which made him even more curious about the shape of this world.
"You're asking how I feel?"
Bai Luo heard Sherri's question and smiled. Then, in a low voice, he said, "It's like the whole world is sprawled out at my feet."
From such a perspective, looking down upon the world, Bai Luo felt his heart surge with boundless ambition.
But he knew it was an illusion.
Indeed, he had Sherri, he had the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch, but Bai Luo was still extremely weak.
If he allowed himself to believe he was invincible because of this, it wouldn't just be Bai Luo at risk, but also the People of Yatun, all of whom would be doomed.
"I'm still far from being able to do as I please," he mused.
With self-mockery in his smile, Bai Luo chose to develop quietly rather than to assume a high profile.
Until he assembled the Six-God Gear, he resolved to continue farming the wilderness without recklessness!
"No matter what Master wants to do, Sherri will help Master!"
Sherri was childlike, utterly pure at heart.
In Sherri's eyes, as long as Bai Luo was happy, that was all that mattered to her.
"Mhm."
Bai Luo patted Sherri's neck, "From now on, I'll be depending on you."
"Speaking of which, am I safe here because of this thing?"
Bai Luo raised his hand and found it obstructed by an invisible barrier of energy.
They were a bit like membranes; their substance wasn't hard but would bubble and stretch with Bai Luo's every move, enveloping his body so it wasn't directly exposed to the outside air.
This was a form of protection, ensuring that the Pegasus's rider could safely travel alongside the mount.
"Is there something outside?"
Bai Luo thought that this world should still conform to physical knowledge—up high, oxygen was scarce, and he, being a mortal, would surely be unable to breathe here.
But Sherri...
Sherri had stuck her head outside the transparent barrier, looking around as if she was scouting the environment for Bai Luo.
"Sherri, are you all right?"
"I'm fine."
Sherri was no ordinary beast; she was a Pegasus that could move freely not just in the sky but also in the vast sea, effortlessly navigating both.
"Don't do that again in the future, it's too dangerous."
Bai Luo admonished Sherri to not act recklessly like this again, and she, like Bai Luo's obedient little daughter, nodded her head repeatedly in agreement.
"Let's go back first."
Bai Luo gently stroked Sherri's mane, aware that she, who now understood Bai Luo's words, enjoyed it when her master touched her like this.
"As you command, Master."
Sherri didn't give Bai Luo any time to prepare. She hurtled downward, yet Bai Luo felt no sense of weightlessness, nor any jolt from the sudden acceleration.
Moreover, there was something peculiar about Sherri's back; no matter how Bai Luo swung from side to side, he couldn't fall off.
This miraculous aspect of a Miracle Creature was beyond Bai Luo's comprehension.
Sherri's power was certainly not limited to just this much.
But to fully unearth all her potential would take a long time, so Bai Luo was in no rush.
"We're here, just ahead!"
Riding on Sherri, Bai Luo flew straight back to Yatun Village at a speed that even an airplane wouldn't exaggerate.
"Hm?"
At that moment, an uncle forging iron furrowed his brow, and a sister sewing fur lifted her head.
The surroundings were very quiet, yet both heard the whoosh from high above, like the sound of a giant bird flapping its wings, passing right overhead.
"A flying monster?"
"An enemy attack?"
Both of them quickly went outside; the uncle armed with a spear and the sister taking down a bow and arrows from the wall, following the uncle's strides.
"What's this!"
However, upon seeing the figure descending from the sky, radiating a soft white glow and enveloped in holiness and purity, both were simultaneously stunned.
The snow-white horse, with wings clear as ice and crystal, and on her back, Bai Luo waving his hand and laughing, "Uncle! Sister! I've found a new miracle!"
