After Yue Jiuli left, Xiaolan sat down by herself. Not long after, the second male lead came out of the dressing room, but he didn't see Yue Jiuli. He wandered around the set as if he was looking for someone, and finally went to find Xiaolan.

"Xiao Lan, was the person sitting with you just now your friend? Or was it Feng Meng's...?"

When Xiao Lan heard the second male lead, who usually didn't talk much to people, ask about Yue Jiu Li, she was a little confused and said, "Oh, Brother Hao, you mean her? Um, she's actually one of Feng Meng's older sisters. She came to visit the set today, but she just went out. Is there something you need from her?"

Xiao Lan was actually quite curious as to why the second male lead would ask about Yue Jiu Li. After all, this big star usually preferred to be alone and didn't communicate much with others, so his sudden question about Yue Jiu Li piqued her curiosity.

"Oh, so it's Feng Meng's older sister visiting the set! I thought it was your friend!"

The second male lead is named Hao Zhu, a star who has only become popular in recent years. He has excellent acting skills and a good reputation in the film and television industry, but he is a bit unsociable.

When Hao Zhu heard from Xiao Lan that Yue Jiuli had already left, he smiled and said, "Well, it's nothing really. I just suddenly saw a new face, so I asked. It's nothing."

Yue Jiuli went out after hearing the crow's call. As soon as she went out, she saw a little crow flying around the film set overhead. As soon as it saw her come out, it flew down and landed on her shoulder, chirping, "Oh my, it really is you! I was wondering why you came back so soon after you left this morning. It really is you."

When Yue Jiuli saw the little crow land on her shoulder, she was very disgusted. She reached out and shooed the crow away, saying, "What are you doing? Did you take a bath? You're so dirty, stepping on me like that. It's so annoying. Tell me, what do you want? If you have something to say, say it quickly."

The little crow, chased away by Yue Jiuli, said aggrievedly, "You stingy little thing! I just stepped on you a little, what's wrong with me? I didn't really need to find you, I just sensed your presence so I came out to see if it was you~"

Realizing that the little crow had come to find her because it sensed her presence, Yue Jiuli followed it into the bamboo forest. She said speechlessly, "So nothing's wrong. I thought something was wrong. But let me tell you, now that you can talk, you still need to be careful. Be careful that someone doesn't find you and capture you for experiments."

"I know, I'll be very careful. I usually just make normal barking without saying anything."

The little crow flew in front of Yue Jiuli, turning back as it flew and saying, "By the way, our king has gone out to find food again today. Why don't you stay here and wait for our king to return?"

"Hehe~ Your king is really kind, actually going out to find food himself~"

Yue Jiuli was quite curious when she heard this. Usually, it was the lower-ranking servants who found food for the higher-ranking servants, but here her king was finding food for his subordinates. This was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.

"Sigh~ This is all because of what happened between us and the Eagle Clan a while ago. We don't dare to run around anymore, for fear that we'll be attacked by eagles if we go out."

The little crow said sullenly.

Hearing the little crow's tone, Yue Jiuli knew she had heard some gossip, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Do you crows and eagles have a grudge?"

"Yes, it's all because of the food and territory disputes we had before. Our two races fought, but our crow race couldn't beat the eagle race, otherwise we wouldn't be hiding like this."

After listening to the little crow's gossip, Yue Jiuli glanced at the sky, then at the little crow's tiny body, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Wow, hahaha~ You guys are something else! With your tiny bodies, you want to fight an eagle? What's the eagle's size? And what are you two? Oh my, you're really brave, your courage is commendable! You're almost killing me with laughter, hahaha~"

Everyone has seen eagles; they are expert hunters. What are crows? To put it bluntly, they are just small birds. Putting everything else aside, just in terms of size, crows are doomed to lose before they even enter the fray. So when Yue Jiuli heard that crows and eagles had fought, she couldn't stop laughing and repeatedly admired their courage.

"Wow, you guys are really brave! With your small bodies, you dare to fight others? You're really something, hahaha!"

Yue Jiuli genuinely found it amusing, but the little crow became displeased when it heard Yue Jiuli laughing at them. The little crow angrily said, "Hey! How can you say that? Who do you think you are?! Let me tell you, although we crows are a bit small, there are many of us, and we are very smart. You have no idea, all the eagles in their clan are ordinary eagles, none of them have gained intelligence, but two of our clan have already gained intelligence, and our king can even use magic!"

When the little crow got to this point, its little expression was full of pride. Although Yue Jiuli could tell that its crow face looked the same no matter how she looked at it, she could still feel its invisible sense of pride.

However, Yue Jiuli still felt a pang of hurt at this moment. She asked with a bit of a laugh, "Oh~ so you guys still had such a good chance of winning. But if you had such a good chance of winning, why did you still lose in the end?"
