Chapter 2639: Wild Vegetables

Zi Xia glared angrily, how could this little Birdy be so annoying, always going tell on me.

Xuexue turned her head and glanced at Zi Xia.

Zi Xia immediately put away her fierce look, obediently lowered her head, and acted like she hadn’t done anything.

"Where’s the tigress?" Xuexue looked at Zi Xia, deliberately asking Xiao Jiu.

Zi Xia pretended to play dumb: "Right here! Where’s the tiger? If there were a tiger, it would have eaten you already, not giving you the chance to chatter here."

Xiao Jiu said rudely: "Aren’t you the tigress?"

Zi Xia was furious, the annoying Birdy: "You...!"

Xiao Jiu shrieked: "Don’t deny it, you are the tigress."

Zi Xia pouted angrily: "Miss, look at Xiao Jiu, always bullying your maid."

Hearing this, Xuexue sternly scolded Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, don’t speak about Zi Xia like that in the future, got it?"

The master was angry, and Xiao Jiu, appearing frightened, immediately said obediently: "Got it!"

Xuexue nodded, continuing: "Zi Xia is an unmarried young lady, and you keep calling her a tigress. If she really can’t get married, who’s going to take responsibility? Will you take responsibility?"

Zi Xia was speechless: "...!"

Is the young lady really helping her or not? Why does it feel so weird listening to her?

Xiao Jiu disdainfully shook its head: "No, no, no, too fierce, can’t afford it."

Zi Xia finally reacted, slapping it away and scolded: "Stinky Birdy, who cares about you? Go eat your bugs!"

Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and flew away, adding one last sentence before leaving: "Tigress, if you don’t learn to be gentle, Long Yi won’t want you either!"

After speaking, it flew into the sky, heading towards the Capital, without waiting for Zi Xia’s reply.

Zi Xia looked at its small figure flying farther away, finally reacting: "Wah wah wah...! Miss, Xiao Jiu... it’s... it’s always bullying your maid."

Xuexue reached out to pat her back, comforting: "Don’t cry, Long Yi wouldn’t really not want you."

"Miss, why are you like this too?"

Zi Xia felt despair, thinking the young lady and Xiao Jiu were on the same page.

Could it be she really is that fierce? Zi Xia started doubting life, and after much thought, cautiously asked: "Miss, am I really that fierce?"

Xuexue shook her head, calmly said: "No."

Zi Xia breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, said: "Scared me to death, seems like it’s all Xiao Jiu talking nonsense."

Unexpectedly, Xuexue added: "Not very fierce, extremely fierce, terribly fierce."

"Miss!" Zi Xia stomped her feet in discontent; why does the young lady, like Xiao Jiu, also enjoy bullying her?

"Alright, it’s getting late, let’s go back!" Xuexue looked up at the sky; the sun was already setting in the west, Lin Kong hadn’t been caught, seems like today was another wasted effort.

So, Xuexue and Zi Xia, accompanied by dozens of guards, grandly headed back towards the Capital.

In a corner of the forest, a pair of sharp eyes hid among the dead grass, watching as Xuexue’s group gradually moved away.

"Damn Birdy, indeed brought people over to catch me. Next time I catch it, I must torture it brutally to vent today’s anger." Lin Kong, hiding in the shadows, ground his teeth in hatred.

Now, in Moli Country, he was akin to a rat on the street, everyone shouting to beat him, especially with his martial power completely gone, it was truly difficult to move even one step.

"Squeak squeak squeak...!"

A rat scurried past his feet, and upon seeing it, Lin Kong pounced on it like a hungry dog scrambling for food.

For him now, being able to eat rat meat was already a luxury, far better than gnawing on wild vegetables every day, which had no oil or salt and were very bitter, but for the sake of survival, he had no choice but to swallow them with difficulty.
