Shirley’s speed wasn’t fast, but she ran very steadily.
With her high intelligence, Shirley knew how to maintain her balance and make her master ride more comfortably.
During this journey, Bai Luo didn’t even have to control or guide Shirley. She took him across the grass and onto the flowers sea, startling countless butterflies, bees, and birds.
Just like that, they continued to gallop east, until a river appeared in front of them, blocking the path ahead.
“This is the end.”
Bai Luo looked at the river ahead, then gently patted Shirley’s neck with a smile,
“This river is not shallow, we can’t make it through. If you haven’t had enough, you can run along the river.”
“Neigh!!”
Bai Luo could feel Shirley’s displeasure.
Not at him, but at herself for being stopped by the river, making her unable to continue carrying her master to gallop freely across the land.
[Her wounds have healed, and she also recognizes you as her master]
[All beings light up the torch, and the torch illuminates all beings. Now, you will be the one to illuminate her way]
[When she understands her purpose, she will lead you forward, never to get lost again.]
“…”
The text on the black book changed again.
It’s another riddle.
However, in the past few days, Bai Luo had been thinking about this matter. By now, he is almost certain of what he should do.
“Shirley, let me ask you a question.” Bai Luo seriously said,
“Do you know what is the fastest thing in this world?”
Shirley couldn’t speak, naturally, she couldn’t answer him. But she can understand and think.
What is the fastest thing?
Shirley’s knowledge is shallow, she thought that it was the birds flying in the sky. Those eagles are so fast! She will be unable to catch up with them in her whole life!
Bai Luo didn’t know how to motivate Shirley. He could only use the rhetoric he had prepared, “Shirley, look ahead, do you see it?”
“This river,” Bai Luo drove the hesitating Shirley forward. She constantly raised her hooves, then put them down,
“It’s blocking us.”
“It’s actually not too deep. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to cross it.”
“But even if you cross it, it’s useless,” Bai Luo said calmly,
“Because there are dense forests on the other side of the river, it’s impossible for you to run freely there.”
Shirley’s cognitive ability is only comparable to that of an ordinary six or seven-year-old child. Bai Luo can’t tell her high-level concepts. He can only go from shallow to deep, explaining things to her step by step.
“After passing the forest, there are high mountains, and behind the mountains is the endless sea.”
“Oh the sea, you haven’t seen it right? The sea is really dangerous.”
Bai Luo thought of the storm he encountered in his past life while traveling through the sea. “Storm, tsunami, and sharks.”
“Neigh?”
“Oh, I forgot, you hadn’t seen sharks, but you know Tintooth beasts, right? Sharks are much scarier than that.”
In Shirley’s view, a Tintooth beast can already easily kill her. Something scarier than a Tintooth beast…
Shirley: ‘Dangerous!’
“Can you understand what I’m talking about?”
Bai Luo spoke softly and persuasively with Shirley, just like talking with a child,
“If we can cross these obstacles, then no matter how long it takes, we will eventually reach our destination.”
Bai Luo stroked Shirley’s neck and said an emotional expression,
“However, if we can’t make it through. If we can’t cross the obstacles ahead, then no matter how fast we are, we won’t get anywhere!”
“So, if there is anything in this world that’s faster than everything…”
Bai Luo was like a father looking forward to the growth of his daughter. He looked at Shirley with a smile, “it must be freedom!”
To go where they want to go.
If a river is in the way, then cross the river. If a forest is blocking their path, then go through the forest. If the mountains are impeding their tracks, then go over the mountains!
Going to every place that can be seen, and even going to places that can’t be seen!
“Neigh!!!!”
At this moment, Shirley seemed to understand something, an intangible force slowly radiated from her body.
Shirley didn’t know what it was, but it was incredibly powerful, so powerful that Shirley’s self-confidence has risen to an unprecedented level.
“Shirley?”
Bai Luo noticed Shirley’s restlessness. He wasn’t disturbed, but rather full of expectations, “Do you want to try? It’s okay, you can do whatever you want now!”
Shirley wanted to move forward, but she was afraid of getting her master wet.
However, Bai Luo agitatedly said, “Don’t worry about me!”
“Go where you want to go!”
Bai Luo has always talked with Shirley rather softly, but now, he was almost hollering.
He wants to encourage Shirley, to encourage this child, to make her get rid of all restraints and take a big step forward!
“Go!”
As she listened to Bai Luo’s encouragement, Shirley’s eyes became more and more determined.
At this moment, a mysterious power was converging in Shirley’s body, and Bai Luo’s voice just opened the gate and allowed it out
It was clear that there was a river ahead. Crossing it will be very difficult and even if Shirley manages to do it, she will become soaked.
However, Shirley feels that she can do it!
‘I can!’
‘A measly river can’t stop me!!’
Confidence, Shirley was brimming with it!
“Move!”
Bai Luo’s command was like the sound of a gun before a race, causing Shirley to forget everything. She followed her instincts and stepped forward.
“Pam!”
Shirley’s hooves moved forward and stepped straight on the water surface.
However, an incredible scene appeared.
A circular ripple, centered around Shirley’s foothold, spread out in all directions.
Then came the second one, the third one. In the end, Shirley was fully walking on the water with Bai Luo on her back. She walked on the surface of a river that was at least 2 meters deep.
“We succeeded!”
Bai Luo cried out. He was very happy that their attempt has succeeded
He immediately looked at the black book and found that the content on the second page had changed.
[Tell her to continue to run with all her might, and awaken her power]
“Master! Here we go!”
“Shirley?”
A tender female voice rang in Bai Luo’s mind. It was very immature and sounded like the voice of a seven or eight years old.
Bai Luo didn’t mull over it, nor did he have the time to communicate with Shirley.
What he has to do now is to follow the black book’s instructions to completely awaken Shirley’s power,
“Don’t stop! Speed up, Shirley!”
“Have you seen the forest ahead? Recall the feeling you had when you crossed the river and don’t stop moving forward!”
“Yes! Master!”
Shirley didn’t know that she had established a special connection with Bai Luo. The only thing she wanted to do at this moment is to take Bai Luo and gallop to her heart’s content on this land.
“Tap! Tap! Tap!…”
Shirley ran on the water surface, her speed getting faster and faster.
“So fast!”
This was not the speed a horse should have, she was like a gust of wind, but Bai Luo didn’t feel the slightest discomfort, but rather excited.
The forest is getting closer and closer. These dozens of meters tall trees seem to be the second obstacle in Shirley’s path.
“Cross over, just like you crossed the river, cross over!”
Along with a long neigh, the pure white horse jumped up.
Bai Luo just felt the surrounding scenery flashing, then the two of them appeared in the sky.
An invisible shimmering light lit up at Shirley’s feet. It was like an invisible track appeared below her feet. She stepped on it and leaped up again, beyond the forest and into the sky!
But! It wasn’t enough…
It wasn’t enough!
She’s too slow!!
Shirley was no longer satisfied with her speed. She wanted to be faster, she wanted to take Bai Luo and fly in the boundless sky, ushering in infinite freedom for him.
“Neigh~~~~”
Shirley completely released the converging power in her body with a long and final neigh!
A pair of pure white wings spread out on both sides of Shirley’s body. Those crystal-like feathers gleamed under the sun, like the most perfect artwork, finally boarding the stage of this world.
[Pegasus]

‘Pegasus!’
Although Bai Luo had been expecting it for a long time, he was really excited to see all the information about Shirley on the second page of the Black Book.
Unlike the basic sacred pouch, Shirley was obtained by him after a lot of hard work.
In addition, Shirley is a living creature. She is a companion who can communicate with him!
After becoming Bai Luo’s miracle creature, Shirley and him, the miracle master, have established a special communication channel. Bai Luo can completely understand Shirley’s words and intentions.
“Shirley, can you hear me, Shirley?”
“Yes, is it you, master?”
Shirley was quite surprised. She obviously didn’t hear the master speaking, but his voice magically appeared in her head.
“Feel your power. You are no longer an ordinary horse, you are now a miracle creature, a pegasus!”
Bai Luo told Shirley all the information about Pegasus he had, and Shirley carefully perceived her power and immediately noticed the inseparable connection between herself and Bai Luo.
The miracle creature and miracle master share life and death.
As long as the miracle master is still alive, even if the miracle creature is killed, it will not truly die but will be resurrected by its master’s side after a certain period.
Just like a miracle item cannot be lost or stolen, a miracle creature can’t be killed.
The only way to truly eliminate a miracle creature is to kill its master.
Once the miracle master dies, the power of the miracle creature will rapidly dissipate. Moreover, they would have lost the meaning of existence and the desire to live with their master’s departure.
Miracle creatures will always follow their master, whether in life or death.
They were born for one person, lived for him, and became the dust of history after his death.
