"What’s the rush? The Prince is here, and the master is bound to come out eventually. You’re acting like an idiot." Suddenly, Xiao Jiu quipped from his perch on the beam.
Little Tiger was irritated, and he stood with his arms akimbo, glaring fiercely at Xiao Jiu, "Stupid bird, don’t provoke me, watch out for your feathers."
Xiao Jiu seemed indifferent, tilting his head and squeaking, "We’re both serving the master, you wouldn’t dare eat me, would you?"
Little Tiger transformed into the shape of a chubby, white-skinned toddler, speaking in a cute, childish voice, "Why not? You’re just a little thing, can’t do much, even if I ate you, the master probably wouldn’t trouble me."
Xiao Jiu let out a sound, sensing danger approaching, and stammered, "You... you... don’t mess around."
Little Tiger tilted his head up, speaking triumphantly, "Scared now, aren’t we?"
Xiao Jiu couldn’t lose face. Even if he was scared, he couldn’t admit it; that would be so embarrassing. So he braced himself and said, "Who said I’m scared."
Little Tiger made a move as if he was about to leap onto the roof beam, and said, "If you’re not scared, I’ll eat you up today."
Fluttering, Xiao Jiu immediately flew off the beam, "You... you... don’t mess around!"
Little Tiger laughed; he was deliberately trying to scare Xiao Jiu, "You said you weren’t scared, so why run?"
Fluttering, Xiao Jiu flapped his wings, resting on the windowsill, chirping sharply, "If you want to eat me, I’m not going to just sit there; I’m not stupid."
"Why don’t you just admit you’re scared instead of pretending?" said Little Tiger.
Feeling safe because of his height, Xiao Jiu chirped back arrogantly, "Ha, just a little kid, who’d be scared of you?"
"Rawrr...!"
Standing on the ground, Little Tiger, in the form of a child, suddenly let out a tiger’s roar and leapt up, almost two meters high, nearly grabbing Xiao Jiu.
"Ah... Jiujiu... Help! Help!" Fluttering, Xiao Jiu flew up from the windowsill to the beam, "Nasty tiger, bad tiger, trying to eat me, Jiujiu... gonna tell the master to skin you!"
Little Tiger felt his intimidation worked, placing his hands on his hips proudly, "Talking nonsense again, even the master can’t help you."
"What can’t even I help with?" Xuexue emerged, holding a bunch of flowers in her hands.
Xiao Jiu, upon seeing her, felt a sense of relief akin to seeing a family member, fluttered down from the beam and perched on Xuexue’s shoulder, complaining loudly, "Awu wu wu... Master, you almost didn’t get to see Xiao Jiu anymore."
Xuexue looked confused, wondering what happened in such a short time, "Xiao Jiu, what happened to you?"
Xiao Jiu’s sobbing turned into different tones, "Waaawuu...! Little Tiger almost swallowed Xiao Jiu whole, Master, you must stand up for me! Or you won’t see cute Xiao Jiu next time."
Xuexue turned to Little Tiger and asked, "Hey, what’s really going on here?"
Little Tiger shrugged his tiny shoulders disdainfully, "You believe the stupid bird? I just accidentally yawned, that’s all. It’s so small, it just got blown away by my breath."
Xuexue looked back at Xiao Jiu and asked, "Is that how it went?"
Xiao Jiu felt truly wronged; how could Little Tiger be so sly! He clearly downplayed it and shook his bird head vigorously, speaking pitifully, "No, no, Master, he’s lying. He really almost ate Xiao Jiu just now. Awu wu wu... You must believe Xiao Jiu; Xiao Jiu truly isn’t lying."
