I've already become a god, and only now you're telling me there are monsters in the world?

It seemed to be acting cute, begging to be petted.

Watching this, Gu Qing couldn't help grumbling inwardly.

Holy shit!

Where are you rubbing, you stupid bird?

Do you even know what you're rubbing against?

You're sexually harassing your owner!

Get that bird head of yours away from her!

Unfortunately, his inward grumbling was completely useless. The Fire Crow couldn't hear him at all and kept rubbing its enormous head against Liu Zhiyi's chest.

Liu Zhiyi reached out and stroked the Fire Crow's head, her eyes filled with a mother's affection for her child.

Having successfully begged for petting, the Fire Crow soon shrank contentedly into a palm-sized bird and flew onto Liu Zhiyi's shoulder, where it affectionately rubbed against her fair ear.

Seeing how much the Fire Crow loved rubbing against Liu Zhiyi, Gu Qing asked with feigned nonchalance:

"Sister Zhiyi, is your Fire Crow male or female?"

"Female."

Then Liu Zhiyi added, "I have a gender preference when it comes to pets. I only keep females."

Yes, yes, exactly! That's how it should be!

Sister Zhiyi, you're a woman. You should only keep female pets to cuddle with, not males that would take advantage of you!

Gu Qing wholeheartedly approved of Liu Zhiyi's preference in pets.

With that thought, he looked at the Fire Crow on Liu Zhiyi's shoulder. The more he looked, the prettier he found the bird, and he felt deeply apologetic.

Little bird sister, I'm so sorry. I misunderstood you just now.

You weren't taking advantage of your owner. I was taking advantage of you.

After all, I was riding astride you just a few minutes ago.

"There are still two hours before the selection starts. Let's sit in the rest area up ahead and play on our phones for a while."

Liu Zhiyi spoke
