Chapter 216 The Conman 16
Early in the morning, Ling Yunzi, dressed neatly, walked out of his room yawning.
That's the downside of having an apprentice around; you can't just wear whatever you want!
Ling Yunzi was yawning when he heard a cracking sound from his jawbone. He stared in disbelief at the little black bird diligently dusting the vase with a feather duster in its mouth.
"What...what is this?" He knew that the myna was quite intelligent, but this was too intelligent!
With that kind of talent, why not open a housekeeping company instead of just staying at his house cleaning? Wouldn't that be a waste of his time?
"Disciple, disciple!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with fear.
What do you mean by "understanding human nature"? This bird has so much humanity that it's overflowing, it's become a monster!
Wu Jin coldly watched as Ling Yunzi was so frightened that he ran to a corner of the living room and took out a peach wood sword with weak magical power.
hiss……
He didn't wipe the shelf where the peach wood swords were kept.
Flying over there with a feather duster in his mouth, Wu Jin coldly said, "Get out of the way!"
As he spoke, the feather duster fell down, but he nimbly picked it up and put it back.
When Ling Yunzi was looked at by those golden eyes, he subconsciously took two steps back and moved aside from the dusty area.
Whoosh...
With a few sharp swings of the feather duster, the dust was swept away completely, leaving not a speck of dust floating in the air.
Ling Yunzi used his deceased master's reincarnation as collateral, so this bird definitely used magic.
No, he must be sick!
Ling Yunzi, clutching his sword, asked tremblingly, "What kind of monster are you, and what brings you here?"
Wu Jin gave him a cold glance, then flapped his wings and flew to the kitchen.
The clattering sounds from the kitchen seemed to have a hook, reaching Ling Yunzi's ears and causing him to unconsciously move his feet.
When he arrived at the kitchen door, he saw the bird carrying the lid of the casserole to the side and using its beak to add salt to the seafood porridge with a small spoon.
Ling Yunzi: "..."
Was his eyesight failing, or had the world finally become something he no longer recognized?
"Disciple!" Footsteps sounded behind him, and he rushed to Ling Yi's side: "Your bird has become a spirit!"
The terrified voice made Ling Yi unconsciously cover her ears: "I know."
Ling Yunzi: "..."
Knowing that you still let that dangerous element stay in the house and even let it cook?
What if it gets upset and blows up my kitchen?
The moment Wu Jin heard Ling Yi's voice, he flapped his wings again.
Ling Yunzi watched as if he were watching a circus act, as he used a bird's beak to grab one of the handles of the casserole and then placed the casserole on the table.
Even before the casserole touches the table, it doesn't forget to place a cloth to insulate it from the heat.
With such life experience, people would believe he's been a master for a hundred years!
Ling Yunzi's hands, which were holding the sword, began to tremble. He started to wonder if he could finally use the burial plot he had bought earlier.
It's a pity that he hasn't bought a burial plot for his apprentice yet; his body will probably be left to rot in the wilderness.
Ling Yi ladled a bowl of porridge and placed it opposite Ling Yunzi. She also picked up two fried dumplings that Wu Jin had just put on the table and put them on the plate in front of him: "Master, eat first, we'll talk after you finish eating."
Ling Yunzi couldn't eat. He looked at the third bowl on the table, unsure if there was going to be another person at the table.
The next moment, the black bird's body elongated and transformed into a cold-faced man.
His black and gold robes rippled like flames in the morning light streaming in, even more dazzling than the sunlight itself.
The sunlight dimmed the moment it touched him, as if it were avoiding his brilliance.
It’s over.
Ling Yunzi never dreamed he would come into contact with such a powerful monster.
He gripped the spoon and muttered, "Disciple, if you don't explain clearly, your master won't dare to eat."
Is this last meal before execution something you can just eat whenever you want?
Seeing that she had terrified her master, Ling Yi said helplessly, "When I picked it up, I didn't know it was a demon beast, but who knew that just last night..."
Ling Yi still felt like grinding her teeth when she thought about what happened last night.
After arriving in this world, she made numerous inquiries but still couldn't get any news about "him".
Logically speaking, this is abnormal.
As if by some kind of rule, "he" would always appear beside me immediately, without me having to look for him.
After several worlds, Ling Yi no longer questioned the rules, but something seemed to have gone wrong in this world, causing her much worry.
But little did she know, her worries were completely unfounded.
This creature appeared before her on the very first day she came into this world, even transforming into a bird and silently lurking beside her.
He's such a good actor! He dodged all those tests and even endured the humiliation of eating birdseed, which contained insects!
As Lingyi's eyes dazzled by the flashing red thread, her first thought was, "You really ate that kind of thing?"
She eats bugs, huh? Stay away from her from now on.
The bird chirped "Wishing you prosperity" several times, but seeing Ling Yi's increasingly cold expression, it had no choice but to give up.
In a flash, it transformed into a human, holding a puppet that looked exactly like its myna bird form.
With a slight flick of his hand, all the birdseed appeared in front of Ling Yi: "Here you go."
Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but was so angry that she couldn't sleep at all and was full of energy.
Is she talking about birdseed now?
She was referring to the time this guy disguised himself as an ordinary bird and lurked around her.
How did you end up next to me?
"You're the one who picked me up," Wu Jin tried to downplay the issue.
His expression remained indifferent, but for some reason, a sense of unease arose in his heart.
Aside from the initial probing in the two days before he was taken in, he had never seen Ling Yi with such a cold expression.
Seeing this suddenly now, I actually feel a little... guilty?
How could such an emotion possibly appear in him?
Wu Jin was struggling with his decision when Ling Yi threw a pillow at him.
He neither dodged nor flinched, letting the pillow smother his face; his tall figure revealed a hint of honest, aggrieved grievance.
Ling Yi: "..."
"To be honest, when I picked you up, I didn't know you were a sentient being, and the kind that could transform into human form, right?"
Wu Jin nodded: "Indeed."
Ling Yi: "?"
Do you really think I'm playing a question-and-answer game with you?
"I took you in because I felt sorry for you," Ling Yi said calmly. "But you didn't need my help. Doesn't that count as lying?"
Wu Jin paused for a moment, then said, "Fine."
"Later, I tested you several times, but you still didn't tell the truth. Does that count as lying?"
The tall figure shrank slightly: "Okay."
"When you encountered that sheep demon, you had the opportunity to confess, but you still concealed it. Doesn't that make your crime even more serious?"
The figure began to shrink: "Fine."
"Then let me ask you, why have you schemed and concealed things so many times, lurking by my side all this time!" Ling Yi's calm voice finally turned sharp as she questioned this liar fool.
"For our predestined marriage." As he said this, Wu Jin became righteous again, and the huddled bird shadow began to spread its wings like a roc.
