A few hardy bushes grew near the rocks, and water dripped steadily from a crack in the stone wall nearby, forming a shallow puddle. It was not paradise, but for a mortal horse in these mountains, it was as good a chance as any.
He didn't tie the horse, letting it free since there was no use keeping it restrained when Han Yu won't be here.
"This is the best spot I can give you." Han Yu patted the animal's back. The horse flicked its ears and lowered its head, sniffing the grass. It had no idea what was happening.
Han Yu looked at it for a long moment, then spoke softly.
"If you are still alive when I return, I will make sure you live comfortably for the rest of your life. If not, then your fate was sealed the moment you were born without spirit veins."
The horse did not understand a word and simply began eating.
Han Yu shook his head.
"It is almost insulting how peaceful you are."
There was no time to linger.
