Then, the crowd witnessed a shocking scene—
The Chinese Merganser flew before Yang Qi, circled him twice at a low altitude, and let out a crisp, pleasant cry.
[You smell good, Two-legged Beast. Thank you.]
After circling twice, it flapped its wings and took to the sky, climbing higher and higher.
This time, it didn't hesitate, flying swiftly due north. It soon became a small white dot and disappeared above the forest.
On a nearby treetop, Qi Zai only twitched its wings slightly. Its golden pupils watched the Chinese Merganser fly away. From start to finish, it showed no intention of spreading its wings to give chase.
Cheng Xiaoou, Huang Zhongmu, Deng Lei, and the gasping Director Zhao, among others, had witnessed the entire event.
For a moment, they just stared at each other, at a loss for words.
Director Zhao looked embarrassed.
