Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Xiao didn't know when he fell asleep, he only knew that he was woken up by a loud noise.

He buried half of his face in the quilt and slowly opened one eye.

In the hazy vision, the wind sickle weasel was like a conductor, waving its front paws in the air with great momentum. Then the light dimmed, the window closed by itself with a "click", and the noise coming from the street suddenly became much smaller.

Xiao didn't remember releasing the Wind Scythe Weasel.

It was probably put there by the Red Mandrill.

He sat up in bed, covering half of his face with his hands, looking sleepy. His voice was a little soft, as if he was murmuring, "What time is it now?"

The wind sickle weasel jumped into Xiao's sight, dancing and squeaking.

"Noon?" Xiao stretched and said "Good afternoon" in his mind, and received a "Yeah, good afternoon" and a "The lazy bug finally woke up."

Perhaps because he heard it was time to eat, Xiao's stomach growled at the right time.

"What's going on outside?" he asked, remembering the noise that woke him up.

Kaze Kamaitachi shook his head, saying that he also couldn't understand the behavior of people on the street.

Hearing this, Xiao got out of bed, opened the window that had just been closed, and leaned out to look outside.

I saw many people standing on both sides of the street. Some of them were dressed as soldiers, holding weapons and standing in front of the crowd to prevent the crowd from blocking the road.

Everyone was looking in one direction. Xiao remembered that there was a city gate at the end of the road.

Just as Xiao was observing the situation on the street, the sounds of people talking on the street also reached his ears.

"Hey, I heard that the food delivery team is coming. Is that true?"

"These military men have come to maintain order. I think it's almost certain."

"Oh, it's finally delivered. The food we got isn't even enough to feed the dogs. My young master has become skinny from hunger."

After that, the owner of the voice remained silent, probably because he felt uneasy from being stared at by the people around him.

Oh, it turns out that the people delivering supplies have arrived.

Xiao remembered that when he was on Baihe Mountain, he heard Ye Lingchuan say that a team transporting clean food and water was blocked by a tide of beasts. Now that the tide of beasts has been almost cleared, they have successfully entered the city. Xiao was not surprised by this.

After figuring out the whole story, Xiao no longer had any desire to eat melons. After all, eating this kind of "melon" would not fill his stomach.

He was too lazy to cook for himself and prepared to go to the kitchen to order some food.

Just as he was about to close the window again, the noise outside suddenly became much louder. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of horses walking towards the street outside the inn, and then suddenly stopped.

At a glance, there were about twenty people in this team, each riding a different mount, looking as if they were put together from various sources.

The team did not carry any food or fodder.

Just as Xiao looked over, there was some commotion in the team.

The young man walking at the front of the team had a ponytail, a handsome face, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His mount was shaped like a goshawk but had four hooves, a bit like a griffin, and he had the temperament of a head of the family.

If his mount hadn't been frightened, making the young man who was trying to control it look a little embarrassed.

Xiao completely withdrew his gaze and closed the window.

On the street, Baili Ling finally regained control of his mount, the Silver-hoofed Suanying, the spirit beast that looked like a griffin. He patted the feathers on its neck and soothed it softly, "It's okay, it's okay, buddy. It's safe around here. What happened to you just now?"

The silver-hoofed eagle made a "cooing" sound, but Baili Ling did not hear the answer he wanted from it. He only heard a sense of panic, as if a lower-ranking person had seen a higher-ranking person.

Baili Ling let out a breath and looked up at the inn not far away, which was the one where Xiao lived. The windows of the rooms on the second floor of the inn were all closed.

When entering the city, an officer told him that the inn had been cleared out by Ye Lingchuan and was reserved for his people to rest. However, he just saw clearly that the window of a house on the second floor was open, and a fairly good-looking young man appeared at the window.

Maybe some clever kid who wanted to watch the fun sneaked into the inn.

Baili Ling did not dwell on this matter. Instead, he comforted Silver-hoofed Suanying a few more times, then turned around and looked at the people behind him.

Just now, not only his mount showed signs of losing control.

"How's it going?" he asked.

A refreshing female voice rang out in the team: "It's all right now, no losses."

Someone asked: "How come they suddenly lost control and were eroded?"

"Impossible. They've already been given medicine. There aren't any monsters or magical beasts here. The medicine won't be ineffective."

"Hey, did you notice that the ones that were about to lose control were all flying spirit beasts, while the beasts were all fine."

"Oh yeah, what's going on?"

"My Master Lu said that it just felt a blood pressure that frightened it and it wanted to run away."

"Case solved. Someone was walking a flying beast around here."

"If that's all, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"

"Then why don't you find a more reasonable explanation?"

"Alright everyone," Baili Ling said, raising his voice and interrupting the chatter. "Thank you all for your hard work these days. It's been a pleasure working together. The inn is just ahead. If you have anything to say, let's talk inside."

"Okay, Captain!" someone responded with a laugh.

Just as Baili Ling was about to lead the team forward, a blurry figure suddenly jumped out from beside him, and he didn't even have time to stop it.

"Hey! Ding Shu! Slow down! Don't bump into anyone!"

However, Baili Ling did not receive a response, he only received a crisp laugh.

"Hahahahaha! We're finally at a safe place! I'm so exhausted."

Ding Shu ran to the door of the inn, put away his mount, and walked straight inside.

Because he was so happy, he didn't even look at where he was going and accidentally tripped over the leg of the table.

The legs of the table were kicked off and the table top fell to the ground with a clang. He lost his balance and struggled for a few times, but finally ended up falling to the ground.

Ding Shu covered his nose which was hurt from the fall and opened one eye, only to find a pair of shoes in front of him. He subconsciously raised his head and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him, protecting the bowl in his hand, his golden eyes full of confusion.

Xiao: You scared me. You made such a big noise. I thought someone was trying to snatch the fermented rice dumplings from me.

Red Xiao: "Who dares?"

Green Mandrill: “?”

Ding Shu got up from the ground, still holding his nose. He shouted at the shop assistant who was looking over here, with a hint of threat in his tone, "What are you looking at!"

Then, he looked at the young man in front of him with suspicion. Seeing that there was no gloating in his eyes, his tone softened a little: "Who are you, and why are you here?"

Xiao half-covered the bowl with his arm and took a few steps back unnoticed.

He was worried that since they were so close, the other person's saliva would fly into his bowl when he spoke.

Xiao sniffed lightly and smelled a very faint fishy smell from Ding Shu. It didn't sound like human or animal blood, but more like disaster.

Thinking of the battles the other party had experienced, Xiao didn't care about the other party's slightly aggressive tone and replied calmly: "Xiao, the city lord asked me to rest here."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go back to his room to eat rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice.

But in Ding Shu's eyes, Xiao's actions seemed like he was shrinking, retreating, and afraid of him.

"Hey wait."

In order to prevent the dark history from being spread, Ding Shu stopped Xiao and was not going to let him go so easily.

He asked word by word, looking for trouble, "Why haven't I heard that we have neighbors?"
