Humans weren't like monsters, who had demonic power to sustain them and could go several days without rest.
If humans didn't sleep well at night, they'd be listless the next day.
Qing Geng naturally didn't want Lord Xiao Xiao to lose sleep.
Although Lord Xiao Xiao was more powerful than any human it had ever seen, Qing Geng was still aware that it was a guest who had come to thank him.
It had come to express its gratitude. How could it disturb its host's rest?
"Qing geng~ Qing geng~ Qing~ geng~"
Lord Xiao Xiao, I shall take my leave.
If you ever need me, simply use this feather to call for me.
Qing Geng plucked a blue feather from its own body and offered it to Xiao Xiao.
"Qing geng~ Qing geng~"
Please accept it, Lord Xiao Xiao.
As long as you channel spiritual energy into it, I'll sense it.
No matter where I am, I'll come at once when Lord Xiao Xiao calls for me.
Xiao Xiao was still a little distracted when the blue feather in Qing Geng's beak came close to him.
It was because this monster spoke in such a chivalrous, martial-arts-novel sort of way.
There was something undeniably strange and amusing about it.
Yet the monster's earnest expression made Xiao Xiao feel there was nothing strange about it after all.
He was making too much of it.
After all, that was simply how Qing Geng spoke.
A streak of blue light drew his wandering thoughts back.
Seeing Qing Geng bow its head slightly, Xiao Xiao took the feather from its beak.
"Then I'll accept it."
"Thank you, Qing Geng."
"Qing geng~ Qing~ Qing geng~"
I should be the one thanking you.
Then I shall await your call,
