"Elder Crane, can you please stop at the mountain peak ahead?"
As Crane King was about to fly over his cave-dwelling, Lu Xuan, after some deliberation, kept swallowing his words. Eventually, he mustered up the courage and said cautiously.
The tall Spirit Crane let out a crisp call and landed in an open area halfway up the mountain.
Lu Xuan descended from the Spirit Crane, saluted with a clenched fist and said,
"Thank you, Elder Crane, for sending me home. I wonder if you would like to visit my cave-dwelling?"
The tall Spirit Crane gave a light shake of its head, let out a cry, and flew away.
"Well, my feet are numb."
After the Spirit Crane disappeared, Lu Xuan just took a step when he felt a numbing sensation in his legs.
