"Haha..."
"No problem. As long as you fall into my hands before the one-year deadline, that will do. This is my communication stone. Once you've arranged everything, contact me immediately."
"Remember, if the one-year deadline arrives and you still haven't contacted me, don't blame me."
As she spoke, Spirit Parrot tossed a communication stone to Sikong Jing.
After catching it, Sikong Jing asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll disregard my sister's life and death for the greater good?"
Shrugging, Spirit Parrot still wore a smiling expression...
"I don't care."
"If you choose to put the Feather Alliance Hall's greater good first, then revealing this now would be useless anyway. I'm merely taking a small gamble. If I win, I'll earn great merit. If I lose, I won't suffer any losses."
"Just as I said, capturing or killing me is useless. Your sister isn't in my hands."
"So, are you going to have Feather Transformation kill me now?"
After staring deeply at Spirit Parrot for a while longer, Sikong Jing slowly made a gesture of invitation.
With another giggle, Spirit Parrot flashed away and vanished from where she stood.
The next moment... buzz, buzz, buzz.
Feather Transformation Emperor appeared beside Sikong Jing with the others, every one of them tense beyond measure.
"A-Jing, what does Spirit Parrot want you to do?"
Sikong Jing looked up at the sky, his voice low. "Shadow Moon Demon Rat's second battle is about to begin."
Everyone's mouths fell open. At a time like this, you still had the mind to care about that?
He turned to Feather Transformation Emperor, his voice resolute. "It's fine. The situation is far better than we imagined. We'll continue acting according to the plan we just made. Now, let's go watch... Shadow Moon Demon Rat's battle."
The others froze again.
