Liuli held onto the black bird tightly, her eyes glaring angrily at Li Molin.

Li Molin chuckled and asked leisurely, "You're not trying to trade this bird for my handkerchief, are you? I absolutely won't trade with you! This is clearly my handkerchief. If you want to, just say so. Why twist the truth?"

Looking at Li Molin's leisurely appearance, Liuli became increasingly annoyed. She unconsciously tightened her grip, and the bird's chirping became even more shrill.

Suddenly, Liuli slowly loosened her grip. Although she didn't release the black bird, her hold wasn't as tight anymore. A strange smile played on her lips, her eyes narrowed mischievously, and she said in a softer, more enigmatic voice, "Lin'er... that's not very obedient..."

Li Molin's brow twitched, and a very bad premonition rose in his heart.

Sure enough, Liuli looked at him with a wicked gaze and continued in a strange voice, "How could you bully your mother—me? Have you forgotten, you..."

"Enough!" Li Molin interrupted her hastily. He subconsciously turned to look at Yu Ke and Ji Jue, who were both looking at him with puzzled and inquiring eyes.

With a wicked grin, Liu Li stretched out her other hand and said smugly, "Lin'er, if you don't want me to continue, then hurry up and give me back my handkerchief!"

Li Molin's face was grim. He didn't want to return the handkerchief, yet he was also afraid that Liuli would continue talking. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly transformed into a black ray of light and flew out of the wide-open window, leaving only a distant voice saying, "Yu Ke, Ji Jue, take Liuli and follow me. We're going to Yingyang City!"

Yu Ke looked at Liu Li with a strange expression and said, "Miss Liu Li, shall we go?"

Liu Li slammed her hand on the table and roared, "That bastard Li Molin!"

She was about to catch up with Li Molin, but then she saw the bird struggling wildly in her hand and suddenly remembered something. She put the bird down and looked at Yu Ke, asking, "Yu Ke, the reason you were able to find Fox Plains was because of this bird, right?"

Yu Ke paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, young lady, but I cannot say more about this. Let's hurry and catch up with the young master."

Liuli glared at Yu Ke, then let go of the black-feathered bird, picked up Ahua, and transformed into a white ray of light, flying out of the window.

Yu Ke and Ji Jue exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then flew away.
