Chapter 2737: Cleaning Up

It was Xiao Jiu who had already flown out, but upon hearing their conversation, flew back and pecked him on the head with its sharp long beak.

Such a sharp bird beak pecking the head, one can imagine how painful that must be.

The guard was on the verge of tears, holding his aching head with one hand, feeling a big bump there, and looked up: "Birdy bro, I didn’t say it, why are you pecking me?"

This little bird is the master of the War Prince’s Mansion. It flies around the mansion idly, snooping for secrets. Apart from the Prince and Princess Consort, it’s the most terrifying because it’s the Princess Consort’s pet, and nothing can be done about it; it has to be treated as the master.

"Don’t care, don’t care, who told you all to talk nonsense! I’m such an adorable bird, and you say I’m a ghost?"

Flapping around, Xiao Jiu didn’t care about anything and flew down from mid-air, relentlessly pecking at them.

The guards at the gate immediately covered their heads and scurried away in a disarray.

Xiao Jiu chased after them with intense pecking; since the master couldn’t catch up, it vented its anger on them.

"Ouch... it hurts so bad!"

From time to time, an unlucky fellow could be heard wailing.

"What are you all doing?" Suddenly, a shout came from inside the mansion.

"Big baddie, uh... haha... no, no, Prince, handsome guy, you finally came out! You don’t know, the master ran so fast like a rabbit, zipping away like a shadow, Xiao Jiu got anxious and is punishing these servants, shouldn’t they have stopped the master instead of making trouble for the Prince? Prince, don’t you agree?" Xiao Jiu flew in front of Long Rui, perched on his shoulder, speaking with flattery.

"Hmm?"

Long Rui turned his head, his eyes sharply glancing at Xiao Jiu’s claws resting on his shoulder, his voice filled with danger: "If you don’t lift your claws right away, I’ll chop them off and make them into soup."

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu shuddered, immediately flapping up in a hurry, almost forgetting that the big baddie is such a petty guy, not letting anyone besides those he permits come close.

The Prince appeared, and the guards who had been running haphazardly quickly ran back to their posts, standing obediently at both sides of the gate, not daring to glance around.

Xiao Jiu flew above Long Rui’s head, yelling, "Big baddie!"

Long Rui glared at it, "Hmm?"

Xiao Jiu immediately softened, quickly changing its tone: "No, no, I mean, big handsome man, big handsome man."

Long Rui ignored it. He came out to find his wife, not to bicker with a bird.

He stretched his neck to look down the street, but where was Xuexue’s figure?

"Big handsome man, don’t look anymore, the master already ran away." Xiao Jiu couldn’t help but speak again.

Long Rui shouted at it: "Then why are you still causing trouble here? Hurry up and follow, report back quickly with any news."

Xuexue must have run back to the General’s Mansion.

It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to chase too rashly, so Long Rui instructed Xiao Jiu.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu replied: "It’s your wife, not my wife."

Long Rui squinted his eyes, speaking with danger: "You won’t go, huh?"

Big baddie, always bullying it. What kind of hero bullies a bird?

Xiao Jiu immediately caved in: "I’ll go, I’ll go, isn’t that enough?"

"Hurry up, stop dawdling!" Long Rui commanded before returning to the mansion.

"Bully, big baddie, always bullying me. I’ll go get the master to deal with you." Xiao Jiu muttered resentfully before flying towards the General’s Mansion.

Just a few meters into its flight, Zi Xia rushed out from inside urgently...

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, where’s the young miss?"
