Xiao Jiu was startled. Humans are terrifying; they’re always thinking about eating its flesh.

"Chirp chirp chirp...!" Xiao Jiu was very clever as well. Staying in the carriage meant being trapped. There’s no way out, only by rushing out can it escape freely.

Just as the carriage driver lunged forward, Xiao Jiu flew out of the carriage.

"Thud."

The carriage driver exerted too much force and fell to the ground, crashing into Long Rui. As he struggled to get up, he looked up, and a ghastly face appeared right before him, scaring him out of his wits. He had seen this face before, but suddenly coming across it was still quite frightening.

"Bah, calling yourself a War Prince, looking as ugly as a ghost." The carriage driver was startled, climbed up, and vented his anger by kicking Long Rui: "Ugly freak, coming out to scare people for no reason, almost scared me to death."

"Clip-clop clip-clop!"

Suddenly, the carriage began to shake, as if someone outside had taken control of the horses. The carriage driver was startled, and he ignored Long Rui since he was now like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He quickly jumped out of the carriage and looked...

The bird from earlier was now stopping behind the horse, pecking vigorously at its rear. The horse, in pain, took off running at full speed.

Despite Xiao Jiu being small, its beak was sharp, and each peck brought out blood and flesh.

The horse wailed miserably and ran even faster.

"Hey, you lousy bird, causing trouble, eh! Believe it or not, I’ll kill you?" The carriage driver didn’t hesitate and swung a palm towards Xiao Jiu.

"Chirp chirp chirp, come on! Come on!" Xiao Jiu taunted.

"It can talk too." The driver lowered his palm and said, "Our Princess loves birds. If I capture you, she’ll definitely be very happy."

This bird was quite novel, even able to speak human language. If it made the Princess happy, she’d surely reward him with a pile of gold and silver treasures. Just thinking about it made him gleeful!

The thought brought an involuntary smile to the driver’s face.

Xiao Jiu stopped pecking at the horse’s rear. If it weren’t to save the big jerk, it wouldn’t peck such a stinky place! Xiao Jiu fluttered and flew up, shouting at the driver, "Come on, come and catch me!"

"Hmm, not bad, this bird can say so much, it’s smart, the Princess will surely like it even more." Knowing Xiao Jiu’s intelligence, the driver wasn’t angry anymore and became very interested in him.

The driver’s eyes narrowed with a smile as he coaxed the bird, "Birdy, I’m not a bad person, come home with me, I’ll take care of you."

"Bah, shameless! Who wants you to take care of me?"

It sounded like it had no integrity, but even as a bird, it had its principles and wouldn’t greedily eat others’ things, really.

Alright, up to now, it had only snacked on its owner’s things, so there was destiny between it and Xuexue.

"Clip-clop clip-clop!"

A sudden burst of hoofbeats came from afar and rapidly approached.

Xiao Jiu saw this and quickly flew onto the carriage roof, opening its mouth to shout loudly, "Chirp chirp chirp...!"

The driver saw this, quickly becoming alert, his hand on the sword hilt, ready to strike at any moment.

As the horses drew near them, their speed did not slow down at all; instead, they were urged faster.

The driver relaxed his guard, thinking it was just some passing travelers.

At that moment, as the horses passed the carriage, the other side swung a treasured sword, slicing the entire carriage roof down, revealing Long Rui trapped inside a burlap sack.

"Damn you scoundrels, it’s really you who captured the Prince." A feminine and playful voice rang out.
