The sharp-beaked creature rested its head against Nan Xian's fingertips, rubbing against them with its short feathers, its beady eyes darting around.
Nan Xian gently scratched it, and it immediately half-closed its eyes in comfort, opened its beak, and made a pleasant "chirp" sound.
Wow, it's the famous Red Fox Lady... I actually brushed against her finger!!!
marvelous!!!
Suddenly, it felt a murderous gaze coming from above. Realizing this, the bird froze instantly, its neck snapping back as it slowly looked up.
Diao Yu stared at it expressionlessly, her eyes deep and dark, a threatening curve appearing at the corner of her eye.
He didn't say a word, but Sharp-Mouthed understood his meaning almost immediately—
If you dare to rub against me again, I'll chop off your bird head, pluck your bird feathers, and make you into a stew of little birds and mushrooms tonight!
Don't turn into bird soup! Sharp-beaked bird's feathers bristled, and with a "whoosh," it shrank back from Nan Xian's palm, curling into a ball. It even gently pinched Diao Yu's collar with its claws in a fawning manner.
Diao Yu withdrew her gaze and looked at Nan Xian again, immediately putting on an innocent smile, "This stupid bird is very dirty, sir, you'd better not touch it."
If you're going to touch someone, you should touch me! I have a big, fluffy tail!! It's so white and beautiful!! You can touch it however you want!!!
The sharp-beaked creature was speechless with grievances: "Waaah, I'm not dirty... but I dare not say it."
Seeing this, Nan Xian withdrew her hand reluctantly and continued their previous conversation: "What did you mean by what you said earlier? Why did you say my love tribulation was particularly fierce?"
Diao Yu said, "Sharp-beak has always lived in the mortal realm, so it understands the human world better. I asked it to explain on its behalf."
The nightingale nodded its little head with its pointed beak and said very seriously, "My lord, before your tribulation in your previous life, you were focused on cultivation and protecting the land of China. You never understood anything about love, and you had no elders or friends to teach you. You knew nothing about love. The depth of a tribulation is also affected by karma. It's like a dam built on a great river. People who have experienced love are like dams that release water from time to time. As their karma is diminished, the tribulation becomes lighter. People who have never experienced love are like dams that have never been opened. The water accumulates in one place over the years. When the tribulation of love arrives and the dam is opened, all this water pours out at the same time. Wouldn't that inevitably become a huge and earth-shattering flood?"
The analogy was very straightforward. Nan Xian imagined the scene of a rushing flood and immediately understood.
“I understand… but isn’t it a bit of an exaggeration to say that He Mingxiao and I are like a match made in heaven?” She clicked her tongue awkwardly, thinking that Diao Yu had obviously added her own subjective feelings to the description.
However--
Sharp-tongued: "It is precisely because of the deep karmic ties between you and He Mingxiao that you fell in love with him at first sight and have been repeatedly entangled with him, just like—just like..."
"Hmm? What does it look like?"
Sharp-beaked girl quickly glanced at Diao Yu, and seeing that his expression was normal, she hesitated briefly before bracing herself and whispering, "...love-induced brain cancer, and the late stage of it."
Nan Xian felt a slight pain in her face: ...Well, I shouldn't have asked that question.
After a long pause, she could only manage two dry laughs, then gave a thumbs-up and offered a dry compliment: "Your use of modern vocabulary is indeed very flexible and fluent."
