Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2377: Chapter 2377: Xiao Jiu

"You don’t even need a draft for your bragging, what are you trying to break?" Xuexue said with a mix of tears and laughter. Truly, this bird is smart, too smart for its own good, and it even knows how to act.

Xiao Jiu: "Master, I’m really not bragging! Xiao Jiu is smart! I am really good at deceiving."

Zi Xia, holding back laughter, said, "Go trick someone and show us."

To prove its ability, Xiao Jiu said, "Alright, don’t leave, wait here."

As soon as Xiao Jiu flew out, Zi Xia leaned close to Xuexue: "Miss. Shall I go see how Xiao Jiu deceives others?"

"Sure, go ahead."

Xuexue was initially planning to leave, but Xiao Jiu’s antics made her sit back down to watch how it would trick someone.

Flap flap, Xiao Jiu flew down to the first floor, and in the hall, it suddenly squawked, "Oh no, oh no! The Princess Consort fainted!"

Following behind, Zi Xia almost fainted herself. This damned bird, what a rotten trick, saying that the young lady fainted. The Shopkeeper knows the Princess Consort, and who wouldn’t be anxious upon hearing she fainted?

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Jiu finished speaking, the Shopkeeper, who was sitting at the counter doing the accounts, immediately dropped his pen and dashed upstairs.

Xiao Jiu let out a mischievous laugh and flew up, meeting Zi Xia halfway.

"You’re dead meat, saying the young lady fainted?"

"You don’t need to worry about how I do it, as long as I achieve the goal, hehe," Xiao Jiu confidently flew past Zi Xia and headed upstairs...

Second floor, private room.

Xuexue was gracefully drinking tea, waiting for Xiao Jiu and Zi Xia to return.

"Bang...!"

Suddenly, the door was rudely kicked open.

Immediately afterward, the Shopkeeper rushed in.

"Princess Consort... Princess Consort, you didn’t...!" Halfway through speaking, he looked up to see Xuexue sitting calmly at the table, sipping her tea, and his expression froze awkwardly mid-sentence, unsure whether to continue, "... didn’t... faint... right?"

Xuexue looked up at him in surprise, "Shopkeeper, is there something you need?"

The Shopkeeper looked panicked, making Xuexue very puzzled.

"Weren’t... weren’t you the one who fainted?" At this point, the Shopkeeper’s speech was slurred.

"Who said I fainted? I’m perfectly fine here, how could I have fainted?" Xuexue expressed confusion, but immediately guessed it might be Xiao Jiu’s doing.

Just as she thought of this, Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and flew in, chirping, "Master, master, I completed the task."

At this moment, Zi Xia also followed in. The phrase was understood only by the three of them, leaving the Shopkeeper baffled, "What... what task?"

Xuexue gave Xiao Jiu a grumpy look.

Xiao Jiu hung its head in grievance, mumbling softly, "Master, Xiao Jiu completed the task; why aren’t you happy?"

Xuexue reconsidered, thinking that Xiao Jiu had only been with her for a few months since coming down from the mountain and had transformed into such a smart being, which was quite impressive.

So she said, "I am happy."

Xiao Jiu’s beady little eyes fixed on Xuexue, "Really?"

Xuexue smiled and said, "Of course, Xiao Jiu is so clever, managing to get the Shopkeeper here."

Then she turned to the Shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, could you calculate the meal cost? We need to settle the bill."

The Shopkeeper was a mix of laughter and tears. It turned out the Princess Consort of War Prince just wanted to settle the bill, but this bird got it all wrong, nearly scaring him to death. A bird is a bird; its intelligence is limited compared to humans. The Shopkeeper tried hard to convince himself to forgive Xiao Jiu.
