"You went abroad to have fun? You're something else, actually going to hook up with foreign birds. Did you bring them back?" Ye Qingqing immediately became interested, and was quite jealous.

She only went to China for a short trip, while this stinky bird has practically traveled all over the world. Humans are not as good as birds!

Pipi rolled its eyes disdainfully, gulped down a large piece of meat, choked a bit, and this time it didn't have to make a sound. Ye Qingqing offered it water, and Pipi drank several mouthfuls before it felt better and looked at Ye Qingqing more pleasingly.

I've made some progress in the past six months; I'm not as stupid as before.

"We can't bring it back; it won't adapt to the environment. It's just for fun," Pipi answered Ye Qingqing's question.

It would like to take them with it, but its new lovers might not want to come back. Besides, it would be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers and have to cross oceans. It would definitely be fine with that, but those ordinary birds would be a different story. They would definitely die of exhaustion on the way. It's better not to do anything wrong.

"Trash bird!"

Ye Qingqing snorted. There are scumbags among birds too, all irresponsible emotional con artists. She grabbed the plate of braised pork, leaving two or three pieces, and gave them all to Xiao Mei, who was staring longingly at her.

"Don't give the scraps any."

Xiao Mei wagged her tail happily, swallowed the meat in a few bites, and ran downstairs in a flash.

Pipi rolled its eyes again, annoyed. Anyway, it was full and didn't care whether it left or not. It had gained a lot from this trip. Its cultivation had improved, and it had also learned a lot of things.

Even though they are just birds, they still need to recharge regularly, otherwise they will be eliminated by the times.

"What's wrong with the little fool?"

Pipi suddenly became serious. Just now, it sensed a very special aura, which came from Xiaotong.

Ye Qingqing recounted what had happened and said worriedly, "Xiaotong has been sleeping for eight days. I'm afraid something might happen to her."

"I'll go take a look."

Pipi flapped its wings and flew to Xiaotong's room. Xiaotong was lying peacefully on the bed, breathing steadily, with a rosy complexion. She looked like she was fast asleep, without any abnormalities.

Pipi circled Xiaotong's body, finally stopping at her head. Pipi's expression became even more serious, and Ye Qingqing's heart leaped into her throat, filled with unease.

"It's definitely due to overworking the brain."

Pipi said with certainty.

"But the general in the medical classic also overworked his brain and only slept for seven days and seven nights before waking up. Xiaotong has already been asleep for eight days and eight nights. Will something happen to her?"

Pipi shook his head. "It's alright. I know that general. Do you know what changes happened to him after he woke up?"

Ye Qingqing was somewhat bewildered. Recalling the records in the medical classics, she said, "It only says that after waking up, he won every battle and became an ever-victorious general."

Pipi nodded, "Indeed, he was invincible, and there was no exaggeration in that. Since he woke up, this general has never lost a battle. He was proficient in both civil and military affairs. He was also one of the few generals in history who was able to die peacefully. He was still fighting on the battlefield at the age of seventy-eight and only retired at the age of eighty. He lived to be over a hundred years old before passing away peacefully in his sleep."

Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo were both greatly surprised. In ancient times, the average lifespan was only in the thirties. Countless poor people died in their thirties or forties, and even wealthy people only lived to be fifty or sixty.

Living to sixty is already considered a long life, and centenarians are even rarer. This general actually lived to be a hundred and never suffered a single defeat. His physical condition is truly outstanding.

Lu Mo's expression shifted slightly as he asked, "Is the reason why the general lived to such an old age and was so skilled in battle related to his seven days and seven nights of unconsciousness?"
