After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child

At that moment, she immediately understood the feelings of the baby bird. The little guy was very hungry and pessimistically thought that his owner didn't care about him anymore!

"Oh, little guy, I'm not ignoring you. I was just busy today and forgot to feed you bugs!" Bai Jiyue immediately explained to the baby bird.

The baby bird chirped twice, and Bai Jiyue felt its forgiveness and happiness from its chirping.

Bai Jiyue felt very soft-hearted and quickly took the baby bird out and placed it on the palm of her hand. In the past few days, it had grown a little and could hardly stand in her palm.

"I'll find you something to eat right away!" she said to it.

"Open the door, I have food here." The person outside the door seemed to have heard her words and said.

Bai Jiyue rolled his eyes and was reluctant to open the door.

The baby bird pecked the palm of her hand with its tiny beak. Bai Jiyue immediately understood that the baby bird wanted her to open the door so that it could eat the bugs quickly.

"Okay, okay. I'll go open the door." She smiled lovingly at the chick and turned to open the door.

Ming Yuan was dressed in black. If it weren't for the light outside the door, he would probably have blended into the night.

Bai Jiyue looked him up and down and had to admit that black was actually the most suitable color for him, as it could best highlight his cold and mysterious temperament.

"Give it to me." She stretched out her hand and said to him unhappily.

"Hello?" Ming Yuan glanced at her and walked into the room rudely.

Bai Jiyue had no way to refute. She really couldn't feed that kind of fat worms to the baby birds. It looked disgusting.

Mingyuan placed the bamboo basket on the table, opened the lid, then grabbed a handful of fat worms and put them into the birdcage of the chicks.

When Bai Jiyue saw him using his hands, he couldn't help but grinning. The baby bird was very excited. It stood directly in the palm of Bai Jiyue's hand and began to flap its wings to fly into the birdcage. It was a pity that its wings were not full enough and it couldn't fly.

"Why don't you let it in? Look how hungry it is!" Ming Yuan said.

Bai Jiyue then woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly put the baby bird into the birdcage. The baby bird immediately began to peck at the fat worms.

The two people's eyes fell on the baby bird, watching it eat in silence.

After watching for a while, Ming Yuan suddenly asked, "Want to go out?"

Bai Jiyue almost responded with "hmm", but she held it back the moment she blurted out the word. She glanced at him warily without saying anything.

Ming Yuan sensed her vigilance and looked her up and down in an exaggerated manner: "You are wearing a nightgown so late at night, aren't you going out?"

Bai Jiyue then realized that he had forgotten to change into his night clothes and went straight to open the door for him!

When did she become so lax and unguarded?

She scolded herself in her heart and replied lightly, "Oh, I just made a new one and tried it out. I don't plan to go out."

Ming Yuan smiled but didn't answer.

Bai Jiyue was a little annoyed and felt that Mingyuan didn't believe what she said, but he acted like "I see through it but don't say it out loud", which made her feel "helpless" as if she had punched cotton. So she didn't say anything and focused her attention on the baby bird.

The young bird was probably very hungry, and it ate very quickly. After a while, all the fat worms in the cage were eaten up by it. Bai Jiyue immediately stepped forward to cover the cage and said to Mingyuan, "Thank you. I'm going to change my clothes and rest. Why don't you go back and rest early too?"

Ming Yuan didn't say much, just turned around and walked out.

Bai Jiyue watched his back as he returned to his room before closing the door and letting out a long breath.

After playing with the baby bird in the room for a while, when it was time to leave, she checked her clothes again, put the deadly sword at her waist, and went out.

In order not to alarm other people, she jumped out of the window. Since Ming Yuan seemed to have noticed something, she was particularly careful and made sure that Ming Yuan did not follow her before going out through the back door of the inn.

In order not to attract attention, Bai Jiri and she deliberately walked separately. Bai Jiri had already come out before her. When he saw her coming out from the back door, he immediately came out from the dark to greet her.

"Why is it so slow?" he asked Bai Jiyue.

Bai Jiyue shook her head and pulled up her face covering: "Let's go quickly, don't let Brother Xiao wait."

She couldn't tell her brother that she was on guard against the Mingyuan, so she could only change the subject. As expected, Bai Jiri diverted his attention and disappeared into the darkness with her.

The two met with Xiao Chongyun as agreed before and followed him to the bustling "Pigeon Nest" in Xicheng District.

The capital city is divided into two cities, East and West. East City is mostly inhabited by dignitaries, while West City is mostly inhabited by ordinary people. There is an area in West City where many poor people live. Most of the houses here are old, dilapidated and small, criss-crossed and disorderly, and are called "Pigeon Nest".

Perhaps Xiao Chongyun had been here before, and he took Bai Jiri and his sister through the streets and alleys of this area. He seemed very familiar with the place and soon brought them to a dilapidated earthen house.

"He and I agreed to stay here. There are many people here, but it's safe because of this." Xiao Chongyun said to Bai Jiri and his sister.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jiyue's expression changed slightly and said, "I feel something is wrong!"

Bai Jiri and Xiao Chongyun looked at each other and immediately pushed the door open.

The moment the door opened, two dark figures came out from the broken window opposite. Bai Jiyue was sharp-eyed and saw a person lying on the ground. He immediately said to Bai Jiri and Xiao Chongyun, "Go and chase them. I'll take a look here!"

Bai Jiri and Xiao Chongyun also reacted very quickly and jumped out of the window immediately.

Bai Jiyue quickly walked to the man lying on the ground and saw blood gushing out of his heart. His body was still twitching. The assassin had precise control and pierced his heart with a sword.

She knew that this man could not be saved, so she squatted down and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Do you know who killed you?" She could only hope that this man could reveal a few words to her before he died.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed. The man gurgled twice in his throat and remained motionless without uttering a single clear word.

Bai Jiyue sighed softly, reached out and gently closed his eyes which had been wide open until his death.

At this moment, Xiao Chongyun and Bai Jiri came back dragging a person, threw him to the ground with a loud "bang".

Bai Jiyue turned around and saw that the man in black had a dark complexion. He asked in a daze, "Died from the poison?"

Bai Jiri nodded: "One escaped, and we caught this one. Unfortunately, he had poison in his mouth, and he bit too quickly. We couldn't stop him even though we pinched his chin."

He stretched his head and looked at the ground: "Where is he?"

Bai Jiyue shook his head: "It's impossible to save him. I didn't find out anything."

Xiao Chongyun clapped his fist heavily: "We are actually one step late! The clue we found with great difficulty is broken again!"

"That may not be the case. Although these two people can't speak, they themselves are hiding some clues. It depends on whether we can find them." Bai Jiyue said calmly.
