Xiao Jiu felt wronged: "Still calling ’baby’, master, you’re just lying, once there’s good food, you completely forget about ."
"Don’t feel bad, co on, here’s sothing tasty for you." Xuexue pushed a plate of braised pork in front of it.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Now Xiao Jiu had no complaints and eagerly started eating.
Xuexue chuckled and said: "Little glutton."
"I am not a cat, cats are the worst, cats are villains, they want to eat Xiao Jiu." Xiao Jiu, originally eating happily, imdiately reacted upon hearing that, showing just how deep its prejudice against cats runs.
Zi Xia and Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh, they both forgot Xiao Jiu had the traumatic experience of almost being eaten by a cat.
This is what they call, once bitten by a snake, one fears rope for ten years.
Having not tasted the Capital’s cuisine for a long ti, the two humans and one bird cleared off all the dishes on the table.
"Burp, so full."
Zi Xia reached out to touch her round belly, burping as she did.
"Mm!"
Xuexue contentedly drank a sip of tea, no longer needing to eat in the wind and sleep in the dews, rushing around day and night, it felt so good to pause for a mont.
After both food and drink were consud, it was ti to pay and head ho, Xuexue’s face froze as she felt her pocket.
Zi Xia: "Miss, what’s wrong?"
Xuexue looked at Zi Xia, sowhat despairing: "I forgot, the silver is all with the Prince!"
"Ah?"
Zi Xia’s mouth opened wide in surprise, wondering how a usually savvy miss forgot her silver with the Prince?
"What should we do then?" Last ti Zi Xia’s silver was on a ship that capsized, she was too busy scooping out water to retrieve it, now it’s all subrged.
Xuexue was deeply troubled, resting her chin in her hand, trying to think of a solution, her eyes darting around until they landed on Xiao Jiu, at which point she froze.
Sensing danger, Xiao Jiu backed up a few steps: "Master, why... why are you looking at like that? I’m warning you! You’re a principled person, don’t even think about selling Xiao Jiu."
"Sell?" Xuexue’s eyes brightened and she slapped the table with excitent: "Oh my! Why didn’t I think of this?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu almost cried and quickly reminded: "Master, principles, principles, where are your principles?"
"What are principles when a al is at stake!"
"Master, think twice! Xiao Jiu is your treasure."
"When it cos to crunch ti, treasures solve problems."
"Master, don’t be like this, think it over again!"
"No need to think, it’s settled." With that, Xuexue turned to Zi Xia and said: "Quickly go to the first floor and see if that strong man is still there?"
Zi Xia, feeling her intelligence insufficient, didn’t understand what miss and Xiao Jiu were talking about, and confusedly asked: "Miss, we don’t have silver to pay for the food, why are we looking for that strong man?"
"Selling Xiao Jiu will solve the problem, won’t it?"
"Ah?" Zi Xia’s mouth gaped: "Miss, you’re going to sell Xiao Jiu?"
"Of course, it’s rare soone is eager to buy it and we happen to be short of money, it’s a rare opportunity, otherwise we’d be chased out of the inn with nothing, that’d be embarrassing."
"But, there’s no need to sell Xiao Jiu though."
"Don’t sell it, should we sell you then?"
"No, no, that’s not okay, better sell it instead, Xiao Jiu is quite annoying anyway, always chattering and doesn’t keep clean." Zi Xia hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, terrified upon hearing miss’s plan to target her.
Xiao Jiu lay on the table, shouting: "Master is a bad person, a bad person, wants to sell Xiao Jiu! Are you not worried Xiao Jiu will end up plucked and made into braised Birdy?"
