Cheng Xiaoxiao felt as though the baby birds chirping was a time bomb counting down to detonation. She felt as though she was about to explode any moment and Chu Yunshen might get up and reach for the jade box anytime.

Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Yunshen before turning to look at the baby bird.

She really wanted to answer the baby bird!

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to answer the baby bird earlier. Had something happened to the baby bird? Why was it suddenly chirping so anxiously?

Since Chu Yunshen was still around, she couldn’t communicate with the baby bird so blatantly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao naively kept thinking Chu Yunshen was oblivious of the situation.

Since Cheng Xiaoxiao was really worried, Chu Yunshen stopped stroking her.

He reached his hand out to squeeze the lion cat’s chubby face. He placed her on the table before standing up nimbly to leave.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was dreadfully worried about the baby bird inside the jade box. Despite her curiosity towards Chu Yunshen’s unexpected actions, she only wanted to run up to the jade box for now.

She watched as Chu Yunshen strode out through the door and closed it behind him in one smooth motion.

He was absolutely gorgeous!

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt he looked incredibly hot from behind!

Baby bird, here she came!

“Meow! Meow! Meow!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao climbed up beside the jade box and answered the baby bird as she ran.

“Chirp!”

The moment the baby bird heard meowing, it instantly sounded delighted.

Oh god!

What was going on?

Cheng Xiaoxiao lay in front of the jade box as she pondered.

Did the baby bird only chirp when it heard her voice earlier? In reality, was it perfectly fine?

That was unlikely!

Then again, why wasn’t she able to see the contents of the jade box now?

Cheng Xiaoxiao reached her paws out to touch the box. However, she was worried about injuring the baby bird, so she pulled her paws back.

Cheng Xiaoxiao lay in front of the jade box and answered the baby bird every time it chirped. Before long, she started yawning and had trouble keeping her eyes open.

Was the baby bird going to keep on chirping all night?

Fortunately, she realized that the baby bird was genuinely able to breathe inside the jade box and it didn’t have to worry about food.

The baby bird seemed completely normal and even sounded energetic.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had already drunk water three times, but the baby bird remained energetic despite having no food and drink.

Was it purely because Cheng Xiaoxiao was much older and the baby bird was still young? Even though the baby bird was younger than Cheng Xiaoxiao, they had been going on like this for far longer than its usual playtime.

Now that Cheng Xiaoxiao was certain the baby bird wasn’t in any immediate danger, she went on to ponder about other matters.

For instance, she thought about this annoying jade box that kept causing trouble for her.

Where did this jade box come from? Why was it so mysterious?

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about the “Miracles of Magic Book”. She stopped meowing at the jade box and retrieved the miraculous book and dragged it beside the jade box to read it.

Nope.

Nope, nope, nope!

The jade box wasn’t recorded in the book at all.

How could Uncle Gen and Zhong Ming omit to make notes about the jade box considering how important it was?

Cheng Xiaoxiao finally lost her cool and felt puzzled.

There were a lot of notes about formations and talismans inside the book. Why wasn’t there a single word about the jade box?

Perhaps Uncle Gen didn’t know where the jade box came from either.

Then what should she do now? This was absolutely mind-boggling!

Cheng Xiaoxiao went into a daze as the baby bird kept chirping inside the box and gave her a headache.

She was a bad parent. In her annoyance, she flipped the jade box over and placed it on the table.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was just trying to tease the baby bird and try to make it quiet. However, she noticed something amiss when the baby bird didn’t react whatsoever.

Initially, there was a familiar emblem beneath the jade box, but it was gone now.

In its place was an engraved groove. Upon scrutiny, the engravings on the groove looked like a blown-up version of the emblem.

What could it mean?

Cheng Xiaoxiao held the jade box up with her paws as she studied the groove. She didn’t even know when it had appeared on the jade box.

The emblem was terribly familiar to Cheng Xiaoxiao and the answer was at the tip of her tongue.

Oh yes!

Wasn’t this an image of her baby bird?

The image resembled a phoenix or peacock at first glance. Cheng Xiaoxiao finally realized why she found the image so familiar when she first saw it. It was an image of her baby bird.

To be precise, it resembled the full-grown version of the baby bird.

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about the mother eagle which nearly killed her previously and felt it was more like the baby bird’s mother.

Was the baby bird related to the jade box?

Now the jade box had genuinely piqued Cheng Xiaoxiao’s interest. She had to save the baby bird and figure out what it was.

Since Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t know anything about the jade box, she didn’t know where to begin.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the change in the jade box and the completely unmiraculous book and felt powerless.

After the baby bird kept chirping all day, it fell asleep from exhaustion. Cheng Xiaoxiao could even hear the baby bird talking in its sleep and it felt as though it had fallen asleep after playing all day.

It was certainly a child at heart. Despite being trapped inside the jade box, it was able to sleep calmly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled powerlessly as she gently turned the jade box over. She really wished she had the same positive attitude as the baby bird.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was not an ambitious woman to begin with. Also, she wasn’t particularly intelligent or highly skilled in any way.

However, she had no choice but to go out of her comfort zone ever since she transmigrated into this world.

Even if she was not intelligent, she had to figure it out.

In the past, she simply had to work hard to feed the huge appetite she had as a competitive eater. Now, she had to keep taking care of the baby bird even when she didn’t know whether she could continue staying human.

The times had genuinely changed for her.

Never mind. She would just treat it as another lesson in life!

Cheng Xiaoxiao kept reminiscing about the baby bird chirping at her adorably as she tried to stay positive and rooted for herself in her mind.

She didn’t dare to think about it too deeply out of fear she might end up crying.

She had brought up the baby bird herself and it was adorable, so she had to save it!

She had never encountered anything like the jade box before and it was a pure mystery, so she had to investigate it!

Oh yes!

If she could not find it in the handwritten letter, then what about some other books?

Cheng Xiaoxiao stared at Chu Yunshen’s empty study desk as she pondered swiftly.

Chu Yunshen was an avid reader. He was even able to get his hands on books about cat rearing that should not appear in this era to begin with. In that case, he ought to have some books about jade objects. If she managed to find some books, perhaps she could figure out what the jade box was.

It was no point sitting on it and wondering if she could succeed since it was all about action!

CHARGE CHARGE CHARGE!

Cheng Xiaoxiao picked up the jade box and charged towards Chu Yunshen’s massive library at top speed. If she had wings like the baby bird, she would probably fly.

When she arrived at the library, the door was tightly closed with a bronze lock hanging on the door. Were there very rare books inside his collection?

Was he worried about thieves?

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s mouth was starting to feel sore from holding the jade box and some of her saliva was even flowing down it.

She raised her head and looked at the locked library door as she sucked all her dribble in.

After looking around for some time, Cheng Xiaoxiao finally decided to enter through the windows by the side.

That would be most befitting of her status as Robin Hood!

Were the windows locked too?

Did he have to do this?

Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to curse when she happily walked up to the window and raised her head at the window and went dumbstruck.

The windows were tightly shut with bronze locks even larger than the one on the door hanging on them.

Cheng Xiaoxiao eventually lost it altogether and spat the jade box on the ground before rubbing her sore jaws with her paws. She didn’t care if she was human or cat and simply needed to vent some steam.

Under the moonlight, a white lion cat suddenly raised a paw and muttered at the library.

Did he have to do this to her?

Did he look down on her?

Was he afraid she would steal something?

Chu Yunshen was a stupid boy!

It looked particularly strange as Cheng Xiaoxiao kept cursing at the library since there wasn’t a soul in sight.

“Found her! Found her!”

A torch flickered before hordes of men came into the yard.

“It’s here! Over here!”

“Send a few more men over here!”

“Report this to His Highness this instant!”

People kept swarming into the yard.

Everyone clustered in front of her and shined torches at Cheng Xiaoxiao. However, they kept three meters distance from Cheng Xiaoxiao and chose to step on their own feet rather than come closer.

这又是什么阵势？

What were they trying to do?

Cheng Xiaoxiao heard the first servant saying to the second servant, “Have you informed His Highness about this?”

The second servant covered his mouth as he answered, “Yes, I asked him to come over!”

Was Chu Yunshen coming? Why was he coming here?

It had yet to dawn on Cheng Xiaoxiao that she was in huge trouble.

She tilted her head sideways and looked at the servants quizzically. She pricked her ears and waited for the night breeze to send every word to her ears.

“Stop waving the torches! What if you burn her by accident?”

It was the first servant she encountered previously. This time, he was pointing at the second servant beside him on his right.

The second servant kept going forward and backward with the torch.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was so overwhelmed by the smell of burning pine wax on the torches that she wanted to sneeze, so she deliberately took a step back.

The servants worriedly took a step back when they saw the lion cat move.

For the past few days, Cheng Xiaoxiao had been dreadfully demoralized, but she finally reverted to her usual mischievous self.

She continued moving forward a little on purpose. After taking a small step, she halted to rest.

Every time she moved, the servants kept backing off as though they were facing a formidable enemy. After taking a step forward, the lion cat retreated by two or three steps.

After doing this a few times, the people in the last row finally shouted.

“I have already reached a wall!”

“Stop pushing me!”

“Who kicked my shoe? My shoe is gone!”

Hahaha!

Served them right for encircling her!

Cheng Xiaoxiao pressed the jade box with one paw and stood majestically as she raised her head to laugh.

Who was pulling her neck?

Hey?

Why was she suddenly in mid-air?

The scenery around Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly changed. She felt giddy as she got lifted into mid-air.

The moment she got lifted up, she instinctively wanted to take off with the jade box.

Who had the guts to touch her?

Cheng Xiaoxiao brandished her claws as she did her utmost to see the culprit behind her.
