However, most of them were ordinary civilians, without any martial arts skills, and Birdy wasn’t afraid of them at all. It flew leisurely in the air, teasing them to chase it...
"Tweet tweet tweet...! Come on, come and catch me to claim credit from the Ugly Monster!" Flap flap, Birdy had just landed on the eaves when a bamboo pole flew over, scaring it back into the air with a flutter.
Darn it, seems like you can’t underestimate ordinary people either; one careless move, and they might finish you off.
Flap flap, Birdy flapped its wings and flew into the air, circling continuously.
Everyone down below, holding bamboo poles, looked up at Birdy in the air, feeling that ten taels of gold were flying around temptingly, but they just couldn’t get it.
They wished they could grow a pair of wings and fly up to catch it.
Xiao Jiu circled in the air relentlessly.
Just when everyone was clueless about its intentions.
Suddenly, like an arrow, it swooped down rapidly, flying in a straight line...
Before anyone could react, Aunt Yu let out a scream...
"Ah...!"
The sound echoed across the sky, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.
Once everyone steadied themselves, they saw Aunt Yu clutching her head in pain, with one hand pointing furiously at the escaping bird, shouting, "Catch that stinky bird for me."
"Ugly Monster, Ugly Monster, come chase me! If you have the guts, catch me." After pecking Aunt Yu once, Xiao Jiu flew into the air, chirping wildly.
Well, if so many people are after it, it might as well get revenge before leaving.
"Quickly, catch this stinky bird! Twenty taels of gold, hurry." Aunt Yu’s voice changed with anger.
"Come on, come on, the Master is waiting for you?" Xiao Jiu mimicked the Weirdo’s tone, calling out mischievously.
"Thirty taels of gold, no, one hundred taels of gold, whoever catches it? I’ll give that person one hundred taels of gold." Aunt Yu was furious, and the value skyrocketed.
One hundred taels of gold?
Everyone’s eyes lit up, but looking at Birdy flying high above, they could only sigh helplessly.
One hundred taels of gold is indeed tempting, but without wings, they could only look up longingly from below.
Aunt Yu was so angry her head was steaming: "What are you all standing there dumbly for? Aren’t you going to catch it?"
The maids exchanged glances; they wanted to catch it too, but with Birdy flying so high, how could they possibly catch it?
Aunt Yu clutched her head, cursing: "A bunch of useless people."
Already bruised all over from being beaten by Xuexue, and now her head was pecked by Birdy, she felt a warm flow trickling down.
"Aunt, you’re bleeding." A maid saw a pool of fresh blood flowing from Aunt Yu’s head where her hand was and quickly took out a handkerchief from her bosom, stepping forward to help her cover it, advising, "Aunt, let’s just go back and see the doctor. You’re wounded all over, and losing too much blood could be dangerous."
Aunt Yu: "If I don’t kill this Birdy today, I won’t feel relieved and won’t go back."
The maid looked up and saw Birdy flying further and further away in the sky: "But... it’s already gone."
"You’re all useless, can’t even catch a bird." Aunt Yu lashed out at the servants.
In the end, with no choice, she had to head back, intending to complain to Old Master Gu, hoping he’d avenge her.
The civilians watched the main characters leave and also slowly dispersed, but they knew that this wouldn’t be the end; Aunt Yu was beaten by the War Prince like that, and Old Master Gu would certainly come out to seek justice.
