Chapter 1881: After That Came The Roasted Goose… Slurp

Ugly Duckling spun in the air, and was brought upwards by the air current. It started flailing its paws around in a fluster.

“Ugly Duckling!” Amy flew up with it almost instinctively. A pair of translucent wings appeared on her back as she dashed towards Ugly Duckling.

“Hm?” Mag was similarly surprised. Ah Zi had always been very mature. Although it might occasionally be a little mischievous, it would not usually play such pranks.

However, after seeing that Amy went flying out with Ugly Duckling, Mag was no longer worried that the latter would fall down.

Ugly Duckling closed its eyes as it waved its paws in the air, disappearing upwards with the rising air current. After hanging in the air for a while, it suddenly started falling.

“Meow!”

Ugly Duckling’s orange fur stood on its ends immediately as it flailed its paws around in a futile attempt to grab something.

Amy was already behind Ugly Duckling, and was about to reach out to grab it.

However, at this moment, the two small silver wing marks on Ugly Duckling’s back suddenly evolved to become two small silver wings, causing its falling body to hover in mid-air.

“Hmm?”

Amy’s stretched arms paused in mid-air as she stared in shock at Ugly Duckling, which grew a pair of furry wings.

“It’s actually flying? And even grew wings?” Mag looked at Ugly Duckling, equally shocked. The two wings were very small, just the size of an adult’s palm. In comparison to Ugly Duckling’s round body, the wings should not be able to hold its weight up.

Mag had long felt that Ugly Duckling was not ordinary. At least, it should not be just an orange fatty that only knew how to eat.

In that case, Ah Zi’s actions were not pranks, but an attempt to trigger Ugly Duckling’s potential?

“Has it already grown to become a swan? In that case…” Irina stroked her chin, deep in thought.

Ugly Duckling was also stunned that it would suddenly be suspended in mid-air.

However, upon hearing Irina’s voice, it looked down instinctively.

“Meow!”

The pair of small wings froze, and Ugly Duckling’s hovering body started falling again.

However, Amy acted fast this time, and scooped it up. After that, she flapped her wings gently, and held Ugly Duckling up in front of her. She looked at it with a smile, and said, “Ugly Duckling, open your eyes.”

Upon hearing Amy’s voice, Ugly Duckling opened its eyes slowly, and meowed a couple of times at Amy with grievance.

“Look, you’ve grown wings! Also, you were flying just now, and hovered in mid-air. Do it once again to show me,” Amy said expectantly as she fiddled with its little wings.

(ΩДΩ)!!

Ugly Duckling turned back to look at itself, and was stunned immediately.

“Here, try flapping your wings like me.” Amy flapped her translucent wings gently as she guided Ugly Duckling along.

Ugly Duckling stared at its wings for a while before focusing on trying to control its little wings.

The two little wings did not successfully flap. Instead, they swirled around, appearing like they were doing some amateur tricks.

“Not like that, like this.” Amy pressed its wings together, and demonstrated again.

Ugly Duckling observed seriously, and appeared to be better at its wing tricks.

“I think you’re just doing it on purpose.” Amy glared at it.

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling looked at her with an innocent face.

“In that case, I’m going to let go. I hope you learn how to flap your wings correctly before you land on the ground.” Amy let go of Ugly Duckling.

Ugly Duckling meowed softly, and started falling once again.

In the midst of its fluster, Ugly Duckling still instinctively flapped its wings. However, its fancy wing tricks could not help it stay suspended or fly upwards successfully. Instead, it made Ugly Duckling struggle more in the air, and that accelerated its fall.

Ah Zi was flying at a very high altitude, and was at least a few kilometers above the ground. It also swooped downwards with Ugly Duckling.

After letting Ugly Duckling go, Amy also flew downwards, maintaining a safe distance between her and Ugly Duckling.

Mag knew what Amy was thinking of. She wanted to let Ugly Duckling learn how to fly under extreme conditions, just like what Ah Zi did.

This actually fitted the survival of the fittest theory in the natural world. On top of that, Amy, who was flying with Ugly Duckling, even made a protective shield around it. In the natural world, even Ugly Duckling’s mother would not do that.

Ugly Duckling’s wild wing trips made it a swooping headless fly as it drilled head-down.

Ah Zi was getting stitches from laughing at the side. It had never seen anything as stupid.

Meanwhile, Annie watched Ugly Duckling worriedly. However, seeing that Amy was flying down with Ugly Duckling made Annie a little less worried.

Ugly Duckling was falling at a really rapid speed. In no time at all, it was only less than 50 meters above the ground. Below it were big, hard rocks. If Ugly Duckling were to fall at that speed, its head would definitely get crushed.

“How stupid.” Amy sighed. She flapped her wings, and increased her descent, closing in on Ugly Duckling quickly as she got ready to scoop it up.

Ugly Duckling started twirling its wings around even more rapidly as it saw the ground getting closer.

However, it suddenly seemed to have realized that the twirling and fancy wing tricks would not help it fly. Its floundering wings suddenly stopped moving, and opened up naturally.

At the same time, its falling body suddenly stopped, and started to rise as though an air current beneath it had pushed it up.

Amy quickly turned to the side. Otherwise, she would have smacked Ugly Duckling, who finally stopped falling, straight into the ground. However, she was not angry at all. Instead, she looked at Ugly Duckling in shock as she exclaimed, “It actually stopped!”

Ah Zi, which stopped in mid-air, and everyone on its back looked at Ugly Duckling in shock.

It was apparent that Ugly Duckling was a little shocked too. However, it seemed to have really understood something this time. It stopped all the fancy tricks it was doing, and tried to flap its wings slowly.

Its round body started rising slowly. Although it was still rather unsteady, at least it was still moving upwards.

“Ugly Duckling, you’ve learned how to fly!” Amy exclaimed after watching it fly for a while, and flying alongside Ugly Duckling.

“Meow~”

Ugly Duckling meowed, and even spun around carefully. It was getting a little proud after overcoming its fear of heights.

“It was said that after the Ugly Duckling flew into the air, it would become a white swan, and after that came the roasted goose… slurp,” Amy said with a chuckle.

“Meow!”

Ugly Duckling was startled, and started crash-landing once again.

Thankfully, Ah Zi managed to scoop Ugly Duckling back onto its back with a breath.

Ugly Duckling scurried into Annie’s embrace, and shuddered with fear.

“I’m just kidding.” Amy reached her hand out, and caressed Ugly Duckling’s head. After that, she touched its small wings, and disdainfully said, “The wings are too skinny.”

Whoosh!

Ugly Duckling’s little wings disappeared, and turned back into a pair of silver wing marks.

Ugly Duckling stuck its head into Annie’s arms, shutting everyone off.

“Let’s go, Ah Zi. Time to set off.” Mag patted Ah Zi with a smile.

Ah Zi flapped its wings and ascended once again, disappearing into the distance.

A vast land of primeval forests appeared in their sight, and spread out endlessly toward the horizon.
