Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Hong Xiao got the item he bought and waited for Xuan to follow the staff to handle related matters.

"The pills...I'll use them when I get back."

He picked up the box of pills, glanced at it casually, and put it into his storage bracelet. Then, he picked up the spell scroll and frowned slightly.

"Mark? Since it has changed hands, there is no need for it to exist." As he spoke, dark green energy emerged from his palm and poured into the spell scroll. After a moment, a barely audible cracking sound was heard, and a mark was broken. He threw the spell scroll into the storage bracelet and moved his eyes to the cage at his feet, as if he was sizing up his prey. The creature in the cage felt his gaze and huddled nervously, not daring to move.

A man approached the Red Goblin silently. He thought he was careful enough, but he didn't know that he was emitting a faint aura that was the same as the magic stone, which had already attracted the Red Goblin's attention.

When he approached, Hong Xiao suddenly raised the green spear with one arm, and the spear stopped just an inch in front of his throat. He was startled and took a few steps back, and Hong Xiao's eyes moved from the cage to him at this time.

"Don't be nervous, I'm the previous owner of this little guy. Later I found out that this little guy is too magical and it's not something an ordinary person like me can control, so I had to sell it. But I'm a little worried and want to explain some things to its new owner, you." The man explained hurriedly.

Hong Xiao acted as if to say, "I'll just watch you make up stories silently." After the man finished speaking, he slowly walked forward with a gun in hand. The man then retreated with an expression of panic and confusion on his face.

Xiao sensed the murderous intent and said: "Don't kill people here, it's easy to get into trouble."

Red Xiao: "He is a trouble to you. Can't you see that?"

Confused Xiao: "What?"

Red Xiao: "Never mind, it's nothing. Since you don't want me to take action, I won't take action."

Red Xiao took back the green spear and said coldly: "Get lost before I change my mind."

The man was stunned for a moment, and then ran away in panic. After he ran far away, he put away his previous expression and his face turned gloomy.

"Strange, how did he know there was something wrong with me? Will there be any problems with the black jade crystal in his hands..."

After a long while, Xuancai came back, followed by the smiling Ma. He handed the four million spirit stones of the beast core to Hong Xiao, then glanced at the cage next to him and said, "Put this away first, and deal with it after leaving the city tomorrow morning."

On the way, Xiao was suddenly thrown into a controlled body, and it turned out that it was time to eat. When the two were about to finish eating, there was a noise outside the store. When they finished eating, it seemed to be more lively outside, so the two of them curiously surrounded it and forgot to put their masks back on.

They squeezed into the crowd and saw a man and a woman standing inside, as well as a group of people who looked bewildered, and gift boxes scattered on the ground. Among them, the man was scolding the leader of the group and did not notice the unusual movement of the compass in the storage bracelet.

"You can give this kind of trash as a gift? Do you think I'm a trash can?" The man swung his leg and kicked a gift box. After the gift box rolled on the ground for a few times, something was thrown out. It was a small porcelain bottle, which fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the light red liquid inside flowed out.

A bystander with good eyes said, "This item has an extraordinary aura. I think it is something from a divine beast. Didn't the city lord hold an auction today? I think this sucker bought it there."

"That should be worth a lot of money, right?"

"That's for sure, but maybe this amount of money is not considered money in the eyes of immortals."

Through Xiao's eyes, Red Xiao recognized that this was the bone marrow of the Wind-Hunting Cloud Leopard that was sold at the auction. As for the transaction price, how could he pay attention to such a boring thing? It was a miracle that he could remember this thing.

"Master, he is really going too far..."

"Shut up, you servant, what do you know!"

One of the men couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stand up, but was scolded back by his master. After scolding, his master looked at the man in a flattering way and said some flattering words. Many passers-by sneered at this.

"Tsk, you really know how to lick. You don't even realize that the other person doesn't want you to lick him, but you just lick him anyway."

"Shh, keep your voice down, in case someone holds a grudge against you."

"Tsk, a bunch of bullies."

"Shut up, you bunch of fools. You have no money and no looks. Even if you want to lick them, I won't give you the chance." The woman who had not spoken a word just now looked at the crowd sarcastically. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she walked towards the direction where Xiao was.

Xiao had a bad feeling in his heart, and sure enough, the woman finally stopped in front of him.

"This young man is handsome, not bad. I'll give you a chance. If you make me happy, I can ask my boss - the particularly majestic one over there - to take you in as his younger brother, and you can enjoy wealth and glory."

Xiao: Oops, I forgot to cover my face. Weird aunt on the street, please don’t cue me.

Red Xiao: Who the hell are you to talk to me like that? Get out of here.

Xuan stepped forward and stood between the woman and Xiao, saying indifferently, "Miss, please respect yourself."

The woman looked up at Xuan, and seeing his slovenly appearance, she showed a look of disgust on her face. She reached out to pull him away, but then withdrew her hand in disgust: "Your master hasn't even said anything, why are you barking, you lackey?"

Then, she looked at Xiao again, "Why do you want to recruit such ugly subordinates? It makes me feel bad just looking at them."

She paused, then revealed a look of sudden enlightenment: "Oh, I see. You want him to be by your side so that you can highlight your handsomeness? See, little brother, I still understand you."

Xuan has lived for more than 20 years and has seen all kinds of storms. He will not be affected by the woman's words. He looked at Xiao behind him with some worry, but saw that he also looked at him, then distanced himself from the woman, with no expression on his face: "Don't say that about my friend."

Xuan then remembered that the one who was controlling the body now was the Xiao with a better temper. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about the woman's safety or the series of troubles that might arise later.

Xiao: "Hiss, this squeezing sound is giving me goosebumps."

Red Xiao: "Tsk, weak."

Xiao: "Hmm? Don't you think so?"

Red Mandrill: "I have nothing to do with the sound of ants. However, if you find this person's voice annoying, I can make her unable to make any sound anymore."

Xiao: “That’s not necessary.”

"Friend? You actually rejected me for such a worthless thing?" The woman's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe that she would be rejected. "How many people wanted to get close to me, but I never gave them a chance! Being favored by me is your opportunity. It's enough for you to have me. You'd better throw away that useless thing as soon as possible."

Seeing that Xiao didn't react, she tried to pounce on him, but was blocked by Xuan's height advantage. Xiao stood behind Xuan and watched the scene silently, frowning slightly.

Xiao: Friends are useless... Haha, if it's allowed, I'd like to exchange our chance meeting for the sake of our old friendship. Forget it, I don't expect such a person to understand. It's really good to be tall.

Red Xiao: Another me is thinking about some random things again. Hmm? Why did my mood suddenly become low? Is it because of this noisy thing that affects my mood? I am back to normal, hmm...

"What's going on?" The voice here caught the man's attention. He no longer paid attention to the flatterer and walked straight towards this side.

Hearing the familiar voice, the woman stopped making trouble, leaned into the man's arms like the wind, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Lei Sheng, that scumbag bullied me."

There was a burst of booing all around. The man looked up and glanced around fiercely, and the booing soon disappeared.

The man comforted the person in his arms, then swaggered to Xuan, pointed at his nose with contempt, and said, "You dare to bully my sister, are you tired of living?"

The woman came to his ear and whispered a few times. He said "Oh" and looked past Xuan in front of him and fell on Xiao behind him: "Little white face, I give you the opportunity to approach me because I think highly of you. Don't be shameless."

Passersby nearby whispered, "The young master who was picked on looks very impressive, most likely an immortal. How dare he be so arrogant?"

His companion whispered, "You are ignorant of this. As far as I know, the people causing trouble belong to a force called "Half-World". Although this force is civilian, they often walk on the road and do some shady business, so they have spent a lot of money to seek the protection of several large sects. If you encounter them looking for trouble, if you don't have any identity or background, you will be like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, and you can't say anything about your suffering."

Hearing this, the passerby shook his head regretfully.

Xiao frowned slightly. Even though he had a good temper, he felt a little unhappy after hearing the call from the other party.

"Let's go." He said to Xuan, turned around and was about to leave.

Eating melons is for fun, not for unhappiness, especially when the other party is a fool, and it is not appropriate to manually shut up a fool in broad daylight. As for using mouth to fight back... neither I nor Red Xiao can do it, so I won't consider it.

However, the bootlicker led a group of people to block the two men's way of leaving.

"Come back here, you useless brat. Why are you running away?" Lei Sheng cursed.

A passerby suddenly shouted: "My friend has already notified the patrol team, they will be here soon. There are laws here, don't bully others too much..."

Before he could finish his words, a big fist hit him in the face. He spun around a few times before falling heavily to the ground.

"Damn it, you are so stupid, why are you meddling in other people's business?" Lei Sheng kicked the passerby away, looked up and found that the two people were about to break through the crowd's defense line, and began to curse again: "Useless, you can't even stop a person, you are worse than a dog, and you still want to get close to me."

"You bastard, can't you hear me when I told you to stop? Are you deaf?" He was about to catch up, but his eyes blurred, and then the back of his head made close contact with the ground, knocking him into a trance. He felt a sense of suffocation, and then he found that his neck was tightly pinched by a not-so-big hand, and his chest was pressed by a knee, making his already difficult breathing even worse.

The attacker had his back to the light, so he couldn't see his face clearly. Only his heterochromatic eyes were emitting a faint blue and red glow.

"What did you call us just now?" The person who spoke seemed to have a slight upward curve of his mouth.

The tone of the words sounded very light, but he felt like the cold wind in midwinter, cutting into his body, leaving him cold and painful.

The voice came again, still in the same tone: "What did you call us just now?"
