Zi Xia still remained unaware, her expression serious as she observed the surroundings, muttering to herself, "That darn bird, thinking it’s sothing special just because it has a pair of wings, sooner or later I’ll roast it and eat it."
"How dare you, how dare you, I am the young lady’s treasure, be careful or she’ll skin you alive, skin you alive." Xiao Jiu chirped arrogantly, its haughty deanor quite over the top.
Zi Xia was very displeased and said to Xue Ren, "Young lady, look at this darn bird, at a ti like this, still making a fuss, it’s so annoying."
Xuexue laughed, "Zi Xia, don’t be so tense, quickly put the sword away."
"There’s a tiger, I need to protect the young lady!"
"There’s no tiger, it’s all Xiao Jiu pretending."
"Young lady, what did you say?"
"I said there’s no tiger, it’s all Xiao Jiu pretending, the purpose was to scare away the Wolves Pack."
"What? You an the tiger’s roar just now was all Xiao Jiu pretending?"
Before Xuexue could answer, Xiao Jiu imdiately chirped, "Yes, yes, , , I’m so amazing, so amazing."
After speaking, it spread its wings and flapped around triumphantly above their heads, who could have known, its stomach wasn’t behaving, plop...
An unidentified object fell down...
Landing right on the carriage driver’s face.
The carriage driver felt a cool sensation on his face, wiped it with his hand, and when he looked down, there were a few wriggling things on the back of his hand, he imdiately realized they were obviously Birdy’s food—so worms.
Instantly, the carriage driver’s face turned into a bitter lon.
Everyone burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Zi Xia was laughing so hard her stomach hurt, she said between her laughter, "Carriage driver, Xiao Jiu is treating you to a al."
"Aah! My food, my food!" Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and fluttered down from the treetop to the carriage driver’s side.
The carriage driver obediently returned them to it.
Everyone let out another burst of devilish laughter.
"What’s so funny, what’s so funny, nothing funny at all." Xiao Jiu gobbled down the food and then started chirping again.
Zi Xia laughed, "Xiao Jiu, why did you throw your worms around?"
Xiao Jiu: "I dropped them by accident, I’m not stupid enough to throw my food away randomly."
Zi Xia: "Don’t you only eat at?"
Xiao Jiu: "Yes!"
Zi Xia: "Then why eat such disgusting things?"
Xiao Jiu: "Old habits, hard to change."
Indeed, it was only after encountering Xuexue that Xiao Jiu started eating at; the little worms were its staple food before, it’s not easy to change that quickly.
Long Rui smiled at Xuexue, "Dear, it’s ti to properly teach that darn bird a lesson."
Xuexue nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, that’s right, we can’t have this behavior in the Capital, throwing this onto the face of so high official or noble would cause trouble."
"No worries, as long as it doesn’t land on the Emperor’s face, I’ll handle everything else for you."
"Oh?" Xuexue raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying, Xiao Jiu can run amok after entering the Capital?"
"Of course it can, as long as it doesn’t break the sky."
Xuexue’s smile didn’t fade, "Okay."
After the false alarm, the sky barely lit up as they set out, staying overnight in the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests was too dangerous, so they decided to leave this forest no matter what today.
Since nobody slept last night, they all felt physically exhausted, but the thought of wolves, tigers, and leopards appearing at night imdiately refreshed their spirits.
Especially the carriage driver, the thrilling scene from last night would be a nightmare for the rest of his life, having narrowly escaped death, he drove the carriage more energetically than anyone.
"Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up!"
He continuously snapped the whip, urging the horses to speed up, encountering another scenario like last night, who knows if they’d be so lucky to survive again.
