The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1062 - 1058: The Mysterious Water Spirit

Xin Lin felt a bit awkward seeing this.

She walked up to Gui Hu, cleared her throat twice, and spoke.

"Pride Corpse, I’m fine. Please forgive the Xuan Bird. It was just mad that I stole its bird egg."

She glanced at Gui Hu.

Gui Hu stood there motionless.

Thinking for a moment, Xin Lin mimicked Rong Qiu and gently tugged at Gui Hu’s sleeve, speaking kindly.

"Don’t be angry anymore, look, it’s almost beaten to death by you."

Gui Hu side-eyed Xin Lin.

"You, not angry?"

"Not angry, not angry. See, I’m perfectly fine, bouncing around."

Xin Lin patted her chest.

Gui Hu’s blue eyes shifted slightly, his lips curled into a smile, and he said no more, pacing to the side.

The Xuan Bird at the side was also miserable; obviously gravely ill and almost dying, yet for no reason, it received a palm strike from Gui Hu.

Jiu Jiu Jiu Jiu~

Seeing that Daddy wasn’t angry anymore, Rong Qiu finally had the courage to roll over to the Xuan Bird and gently peck at it.

The Xuan Bird’s big eyes were also wet and glossy.

It’s its Danzi, it really is its Danzi.

Oh, its Danzi is still alive.

"Cough cough, Xuan Bird, I know you were furious when I initially stole the egg. But since I hatched it, please forgive me. Besides, it’s fortunate I took it, otherwise, whether you’d be able to raise it is still a question. You have no idea, this egg is a bottomless pit, it eats who knows how much in a day."

Xin Lin had a bellyful of complaints to spew.

The Xuan Bird, probably, also understood Xin Lin’s words.

It looked at the lively Danzi, then at Xin Lin, and the hatred in its eyes faded a lot, replaced by a hint of sympathy.

"In that case, let’s consider our past grudges resolved. You seem seriously ill; can you tell me what’s really going on in Qin Mountain? How did those birds and beasts die?"

Xin Lin looked at the birds.

"No need to ask it, it doesn’t know."

Gui Hu said it straightforwardly.

Sure enough, as soon as Gui Hu finished speaking, the birds shook their heads along.

It didn’t know either what exactly happened in the mountain.

It only knew that it suddenly lost its appetite, unable to eat anything.

Then, it felt weak all over, unable to gather any Spiritual Energy.

This condition has persisted for about a dozen days.

"A dozen days? Isn’t that around the time Jin Chen and the others entered Qin Mountain and were injured by the Rainbow Dragon Trout?"

As Xin Lin calculated the time, she found it somewhat suspicious.

Beyond that, the Xuan Bird knew nothing.

"What’s going on with those Water Spirits inside your body?"

Xin Lin asked again.

The Xuan Bird looked bewildered.

"It has Water Spirits inside?"

Gui Hu was also a bit surprised.

"I saw them, but those Water Spirits are a bit strange; they appear sesame-shaped, in various sizes, and they... seem to move."

Xin Lin recalled what she saw.

Unfortunately, the Water Spirits were located very close to the Xuan Bird’s organs, and Xin Lin’s Jade Bee Needle couldn’t penetrate that area.

She couldn’t very well just cut the Xuan Bird open, could she?

"Let the Corpse Leech go in and have a look."

At this moment, Gui Hu suggested.

Xin Lin heard this, and indeed, the Corpse Leech was small and could slip into a living body.

Having said so, Xin Lin took out the Corpse Leech.

"Remember, find out what those Water Spirits really are, and additionally, do not harm the Xuan Bird. There’s plenty of corpses in the mountain for you to eat."

Xin Lin warned the Corpse Leech thoroughly, and only then did it slowly crawl into the Xuan Bird’s body.
