Chapter 2675: Clever and Resourceful

Long Rui: “Is that so?”

Xuexue, with a calm expression: “Yes, it is!”

Zi Xia stood behind her, unable to hold back a cough.

Afraid Zi Xia might expose her, Xuexue turned her head and glared at her, saying: “Zi Xia, the Prince is here, why don’t you hurry and prepare some pastries and fruits.”

Zi Xia bowed her head: “Yes!”

“Hehehe…!” Suddenly, Xiao Jiu, locked in the cage, started giggling.

“What’s so funny, crazy bird!” Xiao Jiu let out a strange laugh, startling Zi Xia, who muttered a curse under her breath.

Xiao Jiu rolled around in the cage, calling out: “Ah, so lucky, don’t have to do anything, Xiao Jiu lives like the Master, unlike some people, born to toil endlessly, oh my, my days are just so comfy!”

Zi Xia pouted: “It’s amazing you’re so happy being confined. Your heart must be big; I’d rather be busy than locked in a cage.”

As she walked out, counting on her fingers, she shouted loudly: “Tomorrow, I’m going with the young lady to the temple fair, thinking about it is so exciting, so much food, roast lamb, roast beef, roast pork, I hear they even roast bird meat, just thinking about it is thrilling. After I try roast bird meat, I’ll roast the bird from our War Prince’s Mansion.”

As she finished speaking, Zi Xia turned a corner and disappeared.

Xiao Jiu shouted loudly: “Master, Master, Zi Xia wants to murder me.”

Long Rui’s cold voice came out from the bedroom: “If you keep yelling, I’ll murder you right now.”

How miserable it is!?

Not welcomed anywhere, Xiao Jiu lay dejectedly in the cage, eyes rolling around, quickly thinking of ways to get out and play!

Suddenly, it remembered Little Tiger and Xiao Taohong; indeed, haven’t seen them in a while, always locked up in a space, mostly in the cage.

Wait until the big bully leaves, then consult the Master.

Having made up its mind, Xiao Jiu closed its eyes and dozed off.

“Meow, meow, meow…!”

Just then, a series of cat cries came from the roof.

Initially resting with eyes closed, Xiao Jiu seemed struck by lightning, its whole body bounced up, slammed against the top of the cage, and fell back down. Now, in a panic, it feared neither the Prince, shouting at the top of its lungs: “Help! Help!”

This time, even Long Rui’s threats were useless; Xiao Jiu continued to scream heartbreakingly…

“Help, Master, help, save me!”

Inside the bedroom.

Long Rui and Xuexue hadn’t seen each other for days, were cherishing their time, whispering sweet nothings, while Xiao Jiu wailed outside. Long Rui was extremely dissatisfied; if it weren’t a Divine Bird, it would have been steamed into a meal long ago.

“My dear, ignore it, we haven’t seen each other for days, I have so much to say to you.” Long Rui wrapped a hand around Xuexue’s waist, buried his head in her neck, inhaling her scent, his entire body relaxed.

The scent on his dear was lovely, a faint floral aroma, fresh yet invigorating, unlike other women, who smelled like rouge and face powder, it was nauseating.

Outside, Xiao Jiu continued its heart-wrenching cries: “Ah…! Master, help!”

Xuexue: “We better check it out; hopefully Xiao Jiu hasn’t run into trouble.”

Long Rui clung to Xuexue, not wanting to get up, lazily said: “That bird is cunning, what could happen.”

Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh: “Don’t forget, I locked it up. No matter how clever it is, it can’t fly out of the cage.”
