As the first rays of morning sunlight drifted into the room on a gentle breeze, the sound of birds flapping their wings drifted in from outside the window. Xu Milu naturally opened her eyes and saw Fanny standing on a stool, trying to shoo away the flock of birds that had gathered outside the window. She wasn't very tall, but she was waving her little hands frantically, her face flushed red.
"Get away! Get away! Aww! You bad birds! Don't disturb Lord Qingluan's sleep!!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!!"
"Chirp chirp!! Chirp chirp!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The birds, driven away, couldn't help but let out sharp cries, but no matter how Fanny tried to shoo them away, they showed no sign of leaving—but when Xu Milu appeared at the window, each little bird tried its best to squeeze out its most beautiful song, vying to show Xu Milu its carefully preened feathers:
"Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!!"
It instantly turned into a "clamped sound".
The phoenix's attraction to birds is fatal. No matter what world it is, birds will always be drawn to Xu Milu without realizing it, even though her true form is now just a little fat chicken.
—The main body cannot leave the clone for the time being. Xu Milu is used to resting next to the lotus root when she sleeps at night. Therefore, in the eyes of others, "Ren Qingluan" is a strange person who sleeps with his pet bird.
"Fanny, move away from the window."
Xu Milu skillfully lifted the main body and placed it on her head before getting up to "pull" the child off the stool and vigorously ruffled the hair on her head:
"It's okay, these little birds just want to play with me—when did you wake up? Children need to sleep enough every day, otherwise they won't grow tall."
"Fanny listened to the adults and went to sleep obediently!"
Fanny nestled obediently in her arms without struggling, her tail swishing back and forth, just like a clingy feline:
"Fanny won't stunt her growth. As long as I eat my fill and practice my hunting skills every day, I'll become the best orc warrior in the tribe! I'll be a full three meters tall!! Once I'm tall enough, Lord Qingluan can ride me on adventures!"
Xu Milu: "..."
No, just imagining the scene made her feel that it was too beautiful to accept.
The idea of a delicate little girl being transformed into a nine-headed, muscular, giant wolfhound is really a bit of an eyesore.
...
...
"Glug glug glug..."
Xu Milu led the clean-up Fanny down the stairs and saw that the once bustling hall was now empty, with only a couple of kittens sitting in the corner dozing off, and the landlady cooking something in the kitchen.
"Oh dear! Are you all awake? How were you? Did you sleep well last night, Miss Qingluan?"
Seeing the two children come down from the corner of the stairs, the plump proprietress gave a kind smile and looked at Fanny's clothes with satisfaction:
"It fits perfectly! Does Little Fanny like this dress? Although it was worn by my child when she was little, it only needs a few alterations to fit her well."
"Yes, I love it! Thank you!"
Fanny glanced at Xu Milu, and only after receiving encouragement did she dare to muster the courage to thank the proprietress. Her tender face was full of earnestness.
"I will cherish it!"
—Last night, the landlady noticed that Xu Milu had brought Fanny back, so she specially prepared a set of children's clothes and changed the little girl out of her dirty burlap clothes.
Xu Milu, holding Fanny's hand, sat down at the table and nodded to the proprietress in thanks.
"Thank you. I plan to take her to buy some daily necessities today. She will be living with me until we find her family, so we may need to buy a lot of things. Is there a place to buy and sell things around here?"
"Ah... well, let me think..."
The proprietress thought for a moment before shaking her head:
"If you want to make clothes, I recommend Mrs. Laura's tailor shop, but there are no tailor shops in the city that specialize in making clothes for orc children. There are three magic contract shops, though... Oh, by the way, Miss, you can go and take a look near the Adventurers' Guild in the north. Some orcs live there, and they should be able to find what you're looking for."
"Okay, please give us two white bread sets, no, three will do, and the cost of that dress, please include it in my room rate."
Xu Milu took out a small silver coin from her purse to pay, glanced at the somewhat uneasy Fanny, and smiled to comfort her:
"It's okay. Didn't you say you wanted to grow up quickly and become the strongest orc warrior in the tribe? You can't not eat more. You can pay me back this money when you grow up."
"Um!"
Fanny, whose head was practically buried under the table, suddenly perked up again upon hearing this:
"When we go into the forest, I can catch lots of birds! I can also climb trees and bite open the throats of horned rabbits, and all of those can be exchanged for money! Fanny will earn lots and lots of money for Lord Qingluan!"
The child's innocent and adorable words made even the busy proprietress burst into laughter.
"Little Fanny is so cute! I'll treat you to the best white bread in all of West Copeshire!"
As she spoke, she vigorously pounded the large lump of dough in her hands. The slightly yellowish dough was kneaded casually in the proprietress's hands like soft, playdough.
"Merciful Goddess of Harvest, on this May morning, under the June laurel, your devout follower offers you walnut wood scrolls. Please grant me your blessings, please grant me the magic to make food delicious..."
As the proprietress chanted the incantation, a faint white light, almost invisible to the naked eye, flashed by, and the dough changed its appearance. In just an instant, it expanded and enlarged several times, and tiny, dense bubbles appeared on the surface of the dough.
