Chapter 1686: Negotiate with the Bird

Negotiate with the Bird . . .

The bird didn\'t have a reason to live anymore.

Its master had betrayed it… Most importantly, it never thought that the man would treat it so terribly. He played tricks to make it take its guard down… He tortured it, forced it to tell him where its true body was… He obviously wanted to kill it both physically and mentally. When he failed, he actually wanted to swallow it!

They had been with each other for three thousand years, but what they had together meant nothing to him when there was a great profit to chase for!

The man\'s fierce eyes, roaring words, cruel tortures, were vividly displayed in its eyes and resounding in its ears.

It was safe from troubles now, but it was still locked up. It knew that this must be a private place of the Xiao Monarch.

It seemed to the bird that the Xiao Monarch was just another greedy bastard. After all, there were rumors about the One Meter Higher Sky!

\'It seems he is nice to me, giving me all these medicinal materials, but he is no different. He just wants to know where my true body is. Sooner or later, I will be boiled and eaten by the man. Why should I bother curing myself anyway?\'

\'What scares me… The spiritual qi he gave me… That is extraordinary…\'

\'I know what I am. I am always a medicinal plant. No matter how powerful the medicine is, it doesn\'t work well on me. That shiny spiritual dan bead must be some kind of extremely high-level medicine. What a shame! It didn\'t work so well for me!\'

Suddenly, the bird, Bab, realized that it was fully recovered from its wounds. Its broken legs was fixed after only a short time…

\'What kind of mysterious martial art is the young man cultivating? Why is it so magnificent? That is amazing! I really wanted more of that spiritual qi!\'

As the bird thought about this, it felt much better. It slowly stood up and looked around the place with curiosity and confusion.

\'Master has a storage space too, but… this one is different…\'

\'Why is this place so spacious?\'

\'Is this a private Divine Space?\'

\'No… It can\'t be. He would take good care of this place… This place is raw… There should at least be some spiritual qi.\'

At this moment…

A voice sounded behind the bird. "They call you Bab?"

Bab was frightened. It turned around and saw Cha-Eun Xiao, who showed up quietly and already sat down behind it.

The place should be empty, but now there was a chair, where Cha-Eun Xiao was sitting on.

Cha-Eun Xiao was looking at Bab on the chair, casually and lazily…

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, coo… coo…" Bab stared at Cha-Eun Xiao angrily.

"Why are you angry?" Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and looked at the bird. "I think you should be grateful."

The bird got emotional. Its wings were like two fingers, pointing at Cha-Eun Xiao and chirping.

"I know. You can understand me." Cha-Eun Xiao rubbed his chin and said in a low voice, "So, what I am going to do is talk to you.

"After that, you can make your own decision."

Cha-Eun Xiao finished talking. The bird stared at Cha-Eun Xiao with its dark rolling eyes. It seemed to consider his suggestion for a while and then eventually nodded to agree. It sat on the floor and let Cha-Eun Xiao start talking.

Cha-Eun Xiao was sitting, so the bird sat down as well. It couldn\'t be weaker. There was nothing it could lose anyway.

However, a bird, sitting on the floor like a man… Was that right?

Cha-Eun Xiao nearly laughed out loud.

"You are a precious treasure for any high-level cultivator. It brings great benefits to put you in full use. Fang Wudi was a good example. If he didn\'t have you around, he would never have reached such a high level." Cha-Eun Xiao said, "So… I could have swallowed you now… That should be understandable. It doesn\'t make a big difference even if I don\'t have your true body. I am satisfied to have you now."

As Cha-Eun Xiao said so, the bird felt a chill in its heart. It got nervous, and it didn\'t dare point at Cha-Eun Xiao with its two wings anymore. Its head was low, and it kept chirping. Nobody knew what it was saying…

Obviously, Cha-Eun Xiao was telling the truth. Ten birds in the forest meant less than one bird in the hand. Cha-Eun Xiao was only at level seven in Saint Origin Stage. If he swallowed the bird, he would very possibly reach the Immortality Stage. It was a great improvement for a cultivator. That should be enough for Cha-Eun Xiao if he wasn\'t so ambitious!

"However, I don\'t want to eat you. I never do!"

Cha-Eun Xiao surprised the bird. The bird stared at him with a tilted head.

\'Is he… being honest? He isn\'t lying, is he? Does he do this to make me tell him where my true body is? After that, he will boil me with my true body, won\'t he? That\'s it!\'

"Don\'t. If I want to eat you, you should have been stewed now." Cha-Eun Xiao seriously said, "It\'s better to make you a stew than swallow you alive."

The bird trembled. It thought of itself being stewed, and that frightened it.

Fang Wudi had thought of this too, but he didn\'t say it before he lost his temper and tried to swallow the bird. It didn\'t frighten the bird as much as Cha-Eun Xiao\'s words.

"But I can\'t free you." Cha-Eun Xiao frowned and said, "You should know that as an animal, you are a level-seven spiritual beast. People are crazy for a spiritual beast like you even though they don\'t know what you actually are. Fang Wudi can\'t protect you now, can he? What if you are captured, it may lead me to the end of my life as well."

The bird started chirping.

It was saying, "I won\'t be captured! I am fast enough. I am cautious enough. I have profound views… I am cunning and smart… You can trust me. Just let me go now."

Cha-Eun Xiao humphed and said, "Are you really as fast as you think? Are you faster than my cat? Are you really that cautious and smart? How did Fang Wudi fool you? Do you really have profound views? How come I don\'t see it? You are being ridiculous. You can\'t fool me. How can I trust you on this? If you can\'t get caught, how come you are here?"

The bird kept its head low, "Chirp, chirp, chirp…"
