Chapter 7: Big Bird
The palace maid outside the door continued to wait for a while, and when she saw there was no movement in the room, she left.
She crawled on the spot miserably, struggling to find a way out of the quilt.
The system couldn't stand it: [Host, you're going in the wrong direction and back into the middle of the quilt again. Xiaoqi can see it. Host, please follow my instructions.]
Shen Tingyu braked suddenly, turned around and moved back a little bit, biting her lips hard, suppressing the anger in her heart: "Xiao Qi, you can see it, why didn't you say it earlier, are you laughing at me?"
[No, no, no! Xiaoqi definitely didn't do that. And... the maid outside the door has already left.]
From a distance, it looks like a small bump on the bed, moving slowly bit by bit in the quilt.
Yohu——!
Shen Tingyu finally escaped from the quilt. She looked up to the sky and let out a long breath. It was really not easy!
It seems that the most urgent thing is to stay by the emperor's side.
Don't ask why she wasn't doing a mission. It wasn't that she didn't want to do it, but the Stargazing Pavilion was the place where the Imperial Master practiced in seclusion, and it was located in a remote corner of the Imperial Palace.
In her current condition, it would be difficult for her to even meet the tyrant, and she couldn't complete the mission at all.
Moreover, the tasks issued by the system are quite arduous.
After a while, there was another knock on her room, and the palace servant asked tentatively, "Grand Master?"
Shen Tingyu shouted loudly: "I want to practice in seclusion. Don't disturb me unless it's something very important. No one is allowed to enter my room."
"There's no need to send me three meals a day. I want to fast."
After seeing the silhouette of the little palace maid on the door leave, Shen Tingyu climbed onto the table and pushed the window open a crack. After pushing it open, she was dumbfounded.
The towering red walls and the endless palace roads.
The point is... she doesn't know the way!
[Host, Xiao Qi can scan the map of the palace and help you find your way. Isn't that amazing?]
She looked at the map of the palace sent by the system. The red dot was the Observatory where she was, and the yellow dot was the Zhenghe Hall where the emperor held court.
Shen Tingyu's eyes were filled with tears. It was really far. Her legs would be broken if she ran so far!
She pushed the window shut silently with her little hand, wanting to back out. She was already thinking of what excuse she could use to trick the tyrant into coming and taking her away.
[Host, there are mount talismans in the system mall. They can temporarily control beasts and help the host solve travel problems.]
Shen Tingyu's eyes widened in surprise, "How many points do I need to redeem? Wait... There won't be a time limit, right? Xiaoqi, don't trick me?"
[The mount talisman can control beasts for 24 hours and is a popular item in the system mall.]
[Xiao Qi cares about the host the most, how could he possibly cheat the host!]
The system is freaking out...!
Shen Tingyu felt that the system was a bit unreliable, and she said faintly: "I'd better think about how to trick the tyrant here."
Xiao Qi: !!!
[The mount talisman is super useful, host, please trust Xiaoqi~]
The system clicked on the mount talisman in the store and enlarged it in front of Shen Tingyu.
Chen Tingyu glanced at the interface. There were many types of beasts that could be controlled by talismans, including purebred snow mountain foxes that could be kept as pets, venomous snakes that were completely emerald green, and even Ferghana horses that could travel a thousand miles a day. Then he looked at the prices below them...
Her eyes suddenly widened, "One hundred points!"
"I only have fifty points in total... No, forty-five points." Shen Tingyu almost spit out a mouthful of blood, "Xiao Qi, you still say you are not cheating me, tell me! Does your system usually have any sales indicators?"
【囧！】
[Xiao Qi is a good system to assist the host in completing tasks. There is no sales quota~]
The page of the system mall swished to the bottom, and the page was magnified and highlighted. Shen Tingyu looked closely and saw a yellow sparrow mixed in with a bunch of large animals, which was inconspicuous.
[Little Sparrow, only needs one point, very suitable for the host. ]
“I didn’t expect that you are still somewhat useful, Xiaoqi.” Shen Tingyu put her hands in her pockets and clicked the redemption and use buttons on the mall.
One point was deducted from the forty-five points in the top column.
She waited expectantly. The air was silent for a few seconds, the atmosphere frozen, as if a crow flew overhead, but there was nothing.
Shen Tingyu tilted his head, smiled slightly and said, “Are you kidding me?”
[Host, please wait patiently...]
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly the window shook suddenly, and a black shadow shrank and enlarged, as if something was gently hitting it. Shen Tingyu pushed with both hands, and a yellow sparrow flew in, wandering around the house, and its big eyes blinked.
It stopped on the table and hopped to her side. Shen Tingyu was surprised and smiled slightly: “This is my mount - Little Sparrow?!”
In fact, this sparrow is not small at all. Standing in front of her, it is like an eagle. It should not be called a little sparrow, but a big sparrow.
The big sparrow was not afraid of her at all. It jumped to her side tentatively, making crisp sounds.
Shen Tingyu opened her arms and hugged him. The feeling was not bad. She sighed comfortably: "You are so soft~"
She clung tightly to its plump body and said slowly, "From now on, you will be my royal mount. I have to give you a name... Da Que'er, how about it?"
Da Que'er rubbed her gently, as if to express his joy and satisfaction.
Shen Tingyu gently pulled its feathers, climbed up nimbly, and reached out to hug the big bird's yellow head: "Let's go!"
The big bird tilted its head and flapped its wings. Shen Tingyu directed it to fly out of the window. The breeze blew, and the sight suddenly became clear.
“Ahhh~”
Everyone shrank into a small black dot. This was the first time she saw the entire palace from an aerial perspective, looking down at the entire city.
The yellow dress she was wearing was similar in color to a sparrow, and when she flew high in the sky, no one would notice her at all.
The sound of the wind was in her ears, the bright sunshine shone on her body, and before her eyes was a strange scenery she had never seen before, an exciting and magical experience like a roller coaster. For the first time, Shen Tingyu experienced the benefits of becoming a rag doll.
She exclaimed, "This is so fun!"
Since the beast-controlling talisman only lasts for 24 hours, she is not in a hurry to look for the tyrant.
Shen Tingyu rode a big bird and flew over the imperial city, landing in thousands of households, stopping on the eaves or branches, feeling the noisy atmosphere of the common people.
Unfortunately, the weather was not good. The sky was covered with heavy dark clouds. As night fell, fine rain poured down. There was no roof to shelter us from the vast sky and earth.
A figure quickly passed by, breaking the tranquility of the night. At the last moment when the window was about to close, it broke into the study like an uninvited guest, attracting attention.
Gao Tang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's just an ordinary sparrow. I will chase it out right away."
The big bird flapped its wings, patrolled the study, and finally stopped on the table.
Xin Hongying raised her eyebrows slightly. Shen Tingyu, damp with moisture, jumped down from a sparrow and squatted beside the pile of memorials, avoiding the sight of the other palace servants. She said with a smile: "Your Majesty."
She was soaked all over, but the smile on her face grew even wider. She held a bunch of unknown wild fruits in her hand and raised her little hand: "I picked them specially for you, come and try them."
Xin Hongying's depressed mood dissipated, and the faint smile in her obsidian eyes gradually spread. Just by looking at her, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
The little sparrow that flew over also imitated her and squatted side by side with her. The two cute creatures tilted their heads and looked at him at the same time.
