"Hmm, aren't you one?"
The female ghost said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I really thought you were a crow spirit~ because you seemed to have a very good relationship with those crows!"
"Wow, you've really misunderstood something big!"
Yue Jiuli looked at the female ghost with a complicated expression and said, "Your eyesight isn't very good. How could I possibly be a crow? Look at their annoying appearance, and then look at me. Do we look alike?"
"Hmm, at first glance it doesn't look like them, but you're humanoid and they're animaloid, so it's normal that they don't resemble each other."
The female ghost was still in doubt.
Yue Jiuli didn't know what to say after hearing the female ghost's words. She helplessly rubbed her forehead and said, "Sigh~ It seems this is all that big crow's fault. If it weren't for it, you wouldn't have had such thoughts."
After Yue Jiuli finished speaking, she called out to the big crow who was with the little crows not far away: "Hey, you big chatterbox, come here for a second!"
The giant crow was holding a meeting with its subordinates, but as soon as it heard Yue Jiuli calling it, it immediately swooped over, "Caw~, what's wrong? What's wrong? Why did you call me?"
Yue Jiuli pointed at the female ghost with annoyance and said, "It's nothing, it's just that she actually suspected that we are of the same kind, saying that I am also a crow. I called you here to explain to her."
The big crow initially thought it was something serious, but upon hearing this, it immediately retorted, "Wow! What the hell? Are you blind? How could we be of the same kind? Our crow clan is so great, how could a mere bamboo spirit compare to us?"
"Hmm? Your crow clan is so great? How come I didn't know that?"
Upon hearing the crow's words, Yue Jiuli immediately reached out and grabbed its wing. She said with a mischievous grin, "Say it again?"
The large crow, its wings grabbed by Yue Jiuli, instantly cowered. It stammered, "Um, well, Yue Jiuli is actually a very powerful bamboo spirit, and has nothing to do with our crow clan. Madam, please don't get confused~"
"Hehe~ What about your great clan?"
Yue Jiuli still clung to that key point, looking at the giant crow and saying, "How great is your clan? I've never heard of it before."
The crow, its wings being held captive, felt wronged but also indignant. It stubbornly declared, "How is our kind not great? Think of any other animals that eat carrion and corpses like us! We're so environmentally conscious; we don't litter or waste our food. Unlike humans, who litter and pollute the environment!"
"Hmm, now that you mention it, it really is quite remarkable~"
After listening to the crow's words, Yue Jiuli felt that what it said made a lot of sense. Moreover, animals like their kind were indeed quite remarkable, since crows were indeed very good at cleaning up carcasses.
"Alright, since you put it that way, it's actually quite noble," Yue Jiuli released the giant crow's wings, then turned to the female ghost and said, "Well? Do you understand now? Did you hear me clearly?"
"Uh, I see. So you're not a crow spirit, but a bamboo spirit. But the crow clan is pretty good, isn't it?"
The female ghost nodded and said, "But why do I feel like you don't quite look like a bamboo spirit?"
Why doesn't it look like it?
Yue Jiuli retorted, "Where did you get the idea that I don't look like it?"
"Hmm, it just doesn't feel right. Your aura is more like that of other animals, not bamboo. I can't really explain why, but that's just the feeling I have."
The female ghost sized up Yue Jiuli and then gave her assessment.
"Oh dear, your feeling isn't entirely wrong. I'm not exactly a genuine bamboo spirit, after all."
Yue Jiuli felt that the female ghost's intuition was quite accurate.
"You're not a genuine bamboo spirit? Then what are you?"
Hehe~ I'm not telling you~
Yue Jiuli deliberately feigned mystery and said, "Because this is a secret."
"What secret, Miss Yue?"
Just as Yue Jiuli was acting mysterious, Hao Zhu came out. He crawled out of the bamboo and said to Yue Jiuli, "Hey~ I just saw him and talked to him for a while, but he's been sleeping the whole time and hasn't reacted at all. I don't know when he'll wake up."
