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

Khotan city.

In the early morning, a quarrel broke out in the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion. Three big men dressed as soldiers blocked the door of the kitchen. One of them was holding a food box in one hand and holding the food box in the cook's hand with the other hand. Seeing that the cook was reluctant to let go, he whispered, "Let go."

"Haven't you already taken the breakfast prepared for General Geng?" The cook tried hard to pull the food box towards him, but found that he couldn't move it.

"Our general has been in a meeting with your city lord all night and is already starving. What's wrong with taking some more food?" The soldier glared at the cook fiercely, then made an effort to snatch the food box away.

"If you think the portion is too small, we can make more." The cook staggered and almost fell to the ground. After he regained his balance, he rushed forward and tried to take the food box back, but the soldier stretched out his hand to block him. Seeing this, he said anxiously: "But that breakfast is for a distinguished guest in the mansion. It was personally instructed by the city lord yesterday. You can't take it!"

"Since the general led the army to help you kill so many envoys, he is no longer considered an honored guest of your mansion? Just make another one instead of complaining here." The soldier was carrying two food boxes and was about to leave when a tuft of green hair suddenly caught his sight, scaring him so much that he took a big step back.

He lowered his eyes and saw the face of the person coming. He found that it was a stern young man he had never seen before. He cursed, "Where did you come from, you little brat? You stood behind me without saying a word and scared me."

Xiao, who was following the smoke to find food, glanced at the soldier, then walked around him and asked the cook inside, "What happened?"

"But it's too late to make it again... eh?" The cook was stunned when he saw the boy suddenly appear. At this time, the cook who had been hiding and trembling just now ran over and whispered a few words to him. His face changed, and he muttered, "Forget it, let the big guys fight", and then he looked at the boy and replied, "It's like this, they want to steal your breakfast."

"Ah? Such a good thing is actually made for this little brat?" The soldier looked at Xiao, then gave his two companions a look, who immediately understood and quickly surrounded Xiao.

He raised the stolen food box with a wicked smile: "Boy, these things belong to us, do you understand?"

"How dare they steal your breakfast? Come on, give me control! Don't worry, I will be careful and restrained and will not let them lose any limbs." Red Xiao jumped out.

"Why do they always think I'm easy to bully?" Xiao asked in his heart. If it was because of his lack of strength, he was now at the King level, and he was already standing at a high position. As for other reasons, he really couldn't think of them.

"Tsk, how dare you ask me that? It's because you always hold back and act like you're easy to bully." Hong Xiao said.

"This... should be related to me. It is influenced by my habits." Green Goblin suddenly interrupted the topic.

"You have developed a habit of hiding things for no reason... Oh, it seems to be related to me. Forget it, let's not talk about it." Hong Xiao said to his other self, "Don't you want to make yourself look less bullied? It's simple, don't be so introverted, just like this."

Then, the three soldiers saw that the young man's eyes suddenly changed. If his eyes were like a calm pond before, they were like a turbulent ocean now. Just by being stared at, they felt that they had difficulty breathing, as if they were thrown into the sea by the waves. Their bodies couldn't stop shaking, and in the end they couldn't even hold the food box.

Hong Xiao used the wind to hold up his own food box, glanced at the pale-faced cook and cook in the kitchen, and then said, "If you are worried about affecting too many people, you can do this."

The three soldiers only felt that the air around them was pressing towards them crazily, as if there were two huge mountains on their shoulders, pressing them so hard that they could not move. On the other hand, the people in the kitchen looked better.

“Who is so aggressive here?” A flash of cold light appeared. It was Qiu Liuyun who arrived on his sword. But when he saw who was here, he was stunned. “Eh? Xiao? Why are you here? I heard about your awakening yesterday. Have you almost recovered today?”

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Hong Xiao threw the control to his other self. The pressure disappeared, and the three soldiers sat on the ground with relief, their faces still showing the expression of having survived a disaster.

"Yeah." Xiao entered the state skillfully and nodded to Qiu Liuyun.

"What's going on?" Qiu Liuyun turned around and looked at the others.

The cook stepped forward quickly and answered before the soldier could speak: "Report to the Immortal Qiu, it was the three of them who first snatched Master Xiao's breakfast, so Master Xiao taught them a lesson." He recounted the whole story, and while speaking, he did not forget to tidy up his clothes that were wrinkled in the previous dispute. Before he finished speaking, the soldiers started to scream and tried to defend the exaggerated part, but Qiu Liuyun glared at them and they had to shut up in dissatisfaction.

It's over. Not only have they offended a strong man, but they have also offended an immortal. At this moment, they feel very depressed and can only place their hopes on General Geng.

After listening to the cook's description, Qiu Liuyun pretended to be very surprised and said, "You actually robbed Xiao's things in the name of General Geng? You must know that the general is also very interested in Xiao, right?"

"Me?" Xiao was a little confused as to why he was being remembered by a stranger for no apparent reason.

"That's right." At this moment, General Geng was also attracted by the pressure released by the red goblin. He glanced at the soldiers coldly, ignoring their eager eyes, and said to everyone with an apologetic look, "The entrance to the ancient domain has been quiet for too long. Without the storm like a meat grinder, some insects have surrounded us. It's my fault for not disciplining them. I'll leave these people to you to deal with."

The soldiers wanted to say something but were dragged away by the people brought by the cook.

"Who is he?" Xiao cast an inquiring look at Qiu Liuyun.

"Nice to meet you. I am Geng Kongyu, a subordinate of General Chihu." General Geng replied.

Xiao was a little uncomfortable with the sudden formality, and after the other party answered, he had even more doubts. Who was that General Crimson Butterfly?

Qiu Liuyun saw his confusion and explained, "The Red Butterfly Army led by General Red Butterfly is stationed at the entrance to the ancient domain in the south of Liang State. In the years before the gods returned, invasions from the ancient domain never stopped, but they were usually small in scale and were dealt with by the garrison without affecting further places. By the way, I once had a senior brother whose father was a general guarding the entrance to the ancient domain. After he achieved success, he would often help his father clean up small-scale invasions of monsters with his sister."

"It's my duty, not worth mentioning." General Geng shook his head. "After all the potential safety hazards at the entrance of the ancient domain were dealt with, General Chihu ordered us to rush to the front line. While escorting the people, I heard some stories about you."

"My deeds?" Xiao asked.

"You are from Licheng, right?" General Geng stared into Xiao's eyes. "On that front, Licheng was the only city with people still alive. On the way to escort, I heard from the people there that when other cities were destroyed one after another, it was you who broke through the encirclement of the Servants and turned back to kill the entire beast tide."

"I did it." Red Xiao snorted proudly, "Anyone who wants to kill me will be buried with me."

"......" Originally, Xiao's nose felt sore for some reason when he heard what General Geng said, but after Hong Xiao took the credit, he suddenly felt nothing.

"So?" he then asked.

General Geng said seriously, "On behalf of General Chihu, I invite you to join the Chihu Army. We are directly under the royal family, and the general is directly under the "emperor". At least in terms of treatment, we will not treat you unfairly."

Ling Xiao also said: "The Emperor has a unique heritage. He not only has many rare treasures, but also knows a lot of things. It would be great to be related to him."

"A puppet from Huanhong City? Who is your master?" General Geng looked nervously at the bird that suddenly appeared, fearing that a god had already got there first.

"The man you call the 'Fox King'," Ling Xiao replied, "I can barely be considered his."

Hearing this, General Geng breathed a sigh of relief. He continued, "As it says, the Emperor has the longest heritage and knows everything."

Knowing everything? Will you know how to go back?

Xiao thought.

He kind of wanted to give it a try, and the nature of the Red Butterfly Army sounded pretty good.

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He wanted to send Green Xiao back. Xiao's final destination was not and should not be the lightless abyss.

"However, I still have an appointment with Xuan." He looked at General Geng.

General Geng smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay. For a long time to come, I will be in Tiancheng, preparing for the counterattack. If you are interested in joining, just come to Tiancheng to find me when you are done."
