Thus, a scene that was both ludicrous and pitiable unfolded on the main street.
Prince Jing stood facing an eagle, half the height of a man. The eagle planted one talon on the ground and stretched the other forward, making a gesture of offering something.
Prince Jing, cautious, stepped forward two steps and gingerly took the paper from the eagle's talon, only finally relaxing when it showed no sign of attacking him.
Seeing such a timid Prince Jing, Ye Bai rolled his eyes in contempt in an all too human fashion.
Then, turning his back on Prince Jing with a flick of his haunches, Ye Bai called out with pride, flapping his wings and flying away.
Fortunately, Prince Jing couldn't understand the language of birds, or he surely would have exploded with anger!
After Ye Bai flew off, Prince Jing opened the note, and the smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider and wider.
