"Lii~"
The Gu Diao let out a long cry.
It flew ahead to lead the way.
Xiao Xiao and the Wangliang Gui followed beneath it.
"Lii~"
The Gu Diao cried out again, then landed on a large tree.
Its black claws, as if cast from molten iron, clamped firmly around a thick branch.
The target it had found was somewhere near this tree.
Without much trouble, Xiao Xiao soon spotted the little bird the Gu Diao had found—the one that might be their target.
He was just about to walk over—
"Wawa~"
The Wangliang Gui cried out and ran over.
Xiao Xiao stopped, then followed slowly behind it.
It seemed they were in luck.
This little bird was the Chiu Chiu the Wangliang Gui had been looking for.
Since that was the case...
He shouldn't intrude too much on the touching reunion between friends.
But...
Xiao Xiao's brows drew together slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.
That little bird...
"Wawa~"
The Wangliang Gui crouched on the ground, looking at its friend. They'd only been apart for a few days, but it felt as if they hadn't seen each other in ages. Its expression was practically ecstatic.
"Wawa~"
Chiu Chiu!
"Wawa~ Wawa..."
Chiu Chiu, Chiu Chiu...
The Wangliang Gui called out again and again.
Its eyes narrowed to slits, curving like crescent moons.
But gradually...
"Wa... wa..."
The Wangliang Gui's voice grew quieter.
Its excitement and joy slowly gave way to confusion.
"Wawa~ Wawa?"
Chiu Chiu? Chiu Chiu?
"Wangliang Gui."
Xiao Xiao walked over to the monster and crouched beside it.
"Wawa~"
The Wangliang Gui turned to look at Xiao Xiao. "Wawa~ Wa..."
Lord Xiao Xiao, Chiu Chiu won't answer me.
Is Chiu Chiu angry?
Chiu Chiu...
The panic and helplessness in the monster's voice
