Most people who keep pets are kindhearted.
Especially when it concerns the safety of their own furry children—Million’s owner didn’t even hesitate and agreed right away.
So, with Million leading the way, a whole group of people brought their pets and marched in a lively procession toward Million’s home.
When they arrived at the apartment building, Million’s owner went upstairs and brought down the parrot.
“Chirp chirp!”
【Who dares summon this great king!】
Through the phone screen, Ruan Xingyao greeted the parrot, “Hello, Your Majesty. May I ask you for a favor?”
“Chirp chirp!”
【Depends on this king’s mood!】
The little parrot was even acting haughty.
Ruan Xingyao stifled a laugh.
Back in the Beast Taming Sect, she was very skilled with little creatures like this.
However, since the little fellow’s owner was present, she naturally wouldn’t bypass them to give it orders directly.
Ruan Xingyao asked Million’s owner, “May I ask what its name is?”
Million’s owner replied, “It’s called Xiao Mi, because its favorite food is millet.”
As she spoke, Million’s owner pulled a handful of millet from her pocket and fed it to Xiao Mi.
“Before you get it to do anything, you have to let it eat first, otherwise it won’t pay you any attention.”
Xiao Mi munched away, puffed up its feathers in a proud little flutter, then kept munching.
Ruan Xingyao waited until Xiao Mi had eaten its fill before asking, “Your Majesty Xiao Mi, how do you feel right now? Would you be willing to help us catch the bad guy and keep everyone safe?”
Xiao Mi: “Munch munch munch… chirp chirp chirp!”
【Munch munch munch… I suppose it’s not impossible! But I want more millet!】
“No problem!” Ruan Xingyao agreed readily.
She could set aside part of today’s tips to buy Xiao Mi some millet.
Probably… that should be enough…
Xiaomi: 【Alright then! Human, tell me—how does this great king need to help you?】
Ruan Xingyao: “Million said your little friends have seen where Dahua is. Could you help me call them over?”
【That’s it? That’s nothing! Wait here!】
Xiaomi let out a loud cry, and soon, several little birds flew down from the sky.
【Big bro! You called us—do you have instructions?】
【Big bro! Did you call us here to eat? Awesome!】
【Big bro! Today I want to eat that black rice from last time, okay?】
The little birds chirped noisily, and Ruan Xingyao instantly understood why they recognized Xiaomi as their leader.
Xiaomi gave his wings a little shake and said with heroic confidence:
【Last time you said you saw that dumb cat Dahua—where is it now? Take us there!】
The little birds hesitated noticeably at his words.
【Big bro, do we really have to go? That place is super scary! Birds are scared! Birds don’t dare go!】
【Yeah, big bro! What if we get skinned too? Birds don’t dare go!】
【Birds won’t go!】
Xiaomi, clearly feeling his dignity challenged, gave two unhappy “chirp chirp” calls.
He bumped his beak against the phone screen.
【This human promised me delicious millet. If you don’t go, I’m not sharing any with you!】
【And I won’t let you come eat at my house anymore!】
Obviously, this threat worked.
Faced with a choice between “sometimes full” and “always full,” the little birds chose “always full” without hesitation.
【Big bro, it’s not that we can’t take you there, but… that place is really terrifying!】
【Yeah, big bro! Last time we were just passing by, and that person threatened us—said if he caught us, he’d roast us and eat us!】
【Birds are scared!】
The little birds refused again and again to reveal the location, and Xiaomi’s patience finally ran out.
It flapped its wings a few times, then swooped down and gave each of the birds a solid slap across the face with its wing.
【Spit it out!】
The birds, their little heads buzzing from the blows, flapped frantically in all directions to escape.
The scene was absolute chaos.
Ruan Xingyao scratched her head as she watched the commotion on the screen.
It was a pity that all she could do was watch—if she were actually there, she could simply release a little bit of her aura, and the birds would instantly fall in line and obey.
Still, this over-the-top scene had the livestream audience laughing themselves silly.
【Hahahahahaha! Live long enough and you’ll see everything! I actually just watched a parrot slap other birds across the face!】
【Wait—what? I came here to watch a scammer get caught, and what the heck is happening now?】
【Don’t even say it! No, really—don’t! This is way more entertaining than those third-rate wannabe celebrity actors! Script or not, I’m staying in this stream!】
【Love it!】
【Love it +1!】
【Love it!】
Just then, Ruan Xingyao heard a strange voice coming from the screen, growing louder as it approached.
【Scared the bird out of me! That terrifying man—he’s chopping his wife right now! Her head is about to fall off! It’s so scary!】
Ruan Xingyao’s expression instantly turned serious.
On the screen, the previously noisy Xiaomi and the little birds all went silent at once, their eyes snapping toward a bird flying straight toward them.
Even the cats and dogs that had been cheering Xiaomi on from the ground suddenly went quiet—some of the timid ones leapt straight into their owners’ arms, shivering like leaves in the wind.
“[Streamer, what’s with that sudden expression?]
[What else could it be! Those little animals aren’t cooperating with her script, so she’s mad!]
[No, something’s off! Really off! Didn’t you notice that all these little animals have gone completely silent?]
[And look at them—they’re trembling, aren’t they?]
Ruan Xingyao ignored the barrage of speculation in the chat.
She turned to Mooncakes Should Only Have Lotus Seed Paste and Salted Egg Yolk, who had just gotten her phone back, and said, “Little sister, I’m going to send you a private message now. Can you show it to your dad, okay?”
Mooncakes Should Only Have Lotus Seed Paste and Salted Egg Yolk nodded immediately.
This only made the people in the livestream—and those watching through the camera—even more confused.
Very quickly, Ruan Xingyao sent Mooncakes Should Only Have Lotus Seed Paste and Salted Egg Yolk a private message:
‘Hello, owner of Danhuangbao. According to the latest intel from the birds, the man who abused and killed Dahua is currently committing a murder at home. Please call the police without alerting anyone, and later I will get the exact location details from the birds and send them to you.’
Mooncakes Should Only Have Lotus Seed Paste and Salted Egg Yolk saw the message first, and her little face instantly went pale with fright.
She didn’t dare to delay and immediately handed the phone to her father.
After reading the private message from Ruan Xingyao, the man was equally shocked and scared.
He stayed silent for several seconds before asking, his voice trembling slightly, “Is what you’re saying true?”
Ruan Xingyao nodded solemnly. “Birds don’t lie—they’ll describe exactly what they’ve seen.”
Especially since that bird’s voice had almost cracked into a scream—it was obvious it had been scared to that extent!”
