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

"correct."

After Qingyang left, Xiao suddenly remembered that before he was poisoned and passed out, he picked up a brocade bag that was suspected to be a magical storage device.

He took out the sachet and asked, "Is there any way to open it?"

Huang Guxuan took the brocade bag, looked at it, shook his head and returned it to Xiao: "No, this magic weapon is contaminated."

"You found it in the underground ruins before, right? Although I am not an expert in this area, I have come into contact with this kind of magic weapon during my time in Yuanliu."

"The power of the disaster has corroded the internal structure of the magic weapon. In order to break the restriction, the pollution needs to be removed and the internal structure needs to be restored. If you break it forcibly, the magic weapon will be damaged and lose its effectiveness, and the items stored in it may also be lost."

"No one can do this at present. These contaminated magic tools are piled up in more than a dozen warehouses of Yuanliu. However, as the barrier on the sea disappears and the Black Sea spreads over, Yuanliu has begun to formally study this power. In the future, there may be a chance to break the ban."

Upon hearing this, Xiao could only put away the treasure bag in disappointment.

Unlike before, this time Xiao's body and soul were both severely damaged. Whether it was the fish poison or the forbidden technique, the aftereffects were very strong. He recuperated for more than ten days before he finally recovered completely.

During that time, since he was not a member of Yuanliu, he was restricted to a very small range of activities. Plus, with nothing to do, he was so idle that he almost grew mushrooms.

If Green Xiao hadn't refused to cooperate, he would have been playing Landlord in his mind.

Green Mandrill: Just a few pieces of paper... but there are so many rules to play with. It's so complicated... I can't understand it.

Finally, the physical examination data met the standards and all aspects had recovered to their best condition, so Xiao and Huang Guxuan left the branch.

Because they stayed in the underground cave for a long time without seeing the sunlight, their perception of time was slightly distorted, and when they came out it was still midnight outside.

Originally, Xiao wanted to bask in the sun for his body, which was about to grow mushrooms, but now he can only bask in the moonlight.

Having just left the branch, they didn't want to run back and stay another night, nor did they want to travel at night, so they found a suitable place to camp and rest nearby.

Huhu——

The bonfire was lit, Huang Guxuan took the prey from the claws of his contracted beast Lingli and began to process the ingredients.

"Are you hungry?" Xiao asked puzzledly.

They went out after dinner.

"No, I just thought that finding something to do would help time pass faster." Huang Guxuan deftly processed the prey's internal organs, and soon, skewers of meat were placed on the grill he carried with him.

He took the time to glance at Xiao and said, "Would you like a bunch?"

"want."

Xiao observed quietly at the side and found that Huang Guxuan not only carried a grill with him, but also other equipment for barbecue, as well as various seasonings. He was very well prepared.

Before long, the aroma of meat wafted through the air, attracting even wild animals. As a result, the dishes on the grill became more diverse.

Huang Guxuan is good at grilling meat. Just smelling the aroma, Xiao feels hungry.

Soon, the first batch of meat was roasted.

While Xiao was happily eating barbecue, Red Xiao was also paying attention to what was happening outside and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"what happened to you?"

The green goblin's sudden voice diverted his attention.

"It's really strange that you actually took the initiative to talk to me."

The green goblin looked at the red goblin strangely. He could feel that the red goblin had hostility towards the human who was grilling meat, but it was not the kind of hostility that wanted to fight to the death. He didn't quite understand what it was specifically.

He was silent for a moment, and finally asked the question in his mind: "Why are you targeting him?"

"Who?"

Red Xiao didn't wait for an answer, so he subconsciously used mind reading to realize that the "he" was referring to Huang Guxuan. He suddenly reacted, looked at Green Xiao fiercely, and quickly looked away guiltily.

Judging from Green Mandrill's reaction, he didn't seem to mind his mind-reading behavior just now.

It's Green Xiao's fault for not speaking clearly, so you can't blame him for reading minds.

"What should I do against him?" Red Xiao laughed.

He was indeed subconsciously targeting Huang Guxuan.

As for why...

Maybe it was because Huang Guxuan had teased him a long time ago. His intuition at that time told him that this guy would compete with him for the girl. His intuition would not be wrong.

Green Goblin looked at Red Goblin with half belief and half doubt. He always felt that the latter was not telling the truth.

Hong Xiao teased, "Why do you suddenly care about me?"

"?" Green Xiao was a little confused. Isn't it normal for friends to care about each other? Then he frowned slightly. He felt that his heart was being peeped again, but in the end, he didn't say much.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't care."

friend......

Hong Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Does that mean he is now raising two cabbages?

Just as the red Xiao was testing the green Xiao, the Xiao outside asked while eating, "I have a question, I don't know if it's appropriate to ask."

"You ask."

"There seems to be some grudge between you and Yuanliu?" Xiao recalled the words Huang Guxuan used in response to Qingyang, and there was a sense of resentment between the lines.

"Well, one of my... friends was the victim of a leaked forbidden technique."

"How is he now?"

"He's probably dead."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay. I will cooperate with Yuanliu because of that friend. Moreover, as a victim, my friend didn't take the matter to heart and even had a short cooperation with Yuanliu. I met Qingyang at that time, but he seems to have forgotten me."

"Problem? Do you mean the disaster from across the sea?"

"That? At present, it is true that Yuanliu is the only one who has the possibility of solving the problem. However, not completely, this is only part of it."

"Are there other crises?" Xiao was shocked. The current crisis was already very intense, so don't tell him there are more severe ones.

"Who knows?" Huang Guxuan stared at the orange-red flames in front of him, as if he was looking at someone through the flames. "I am supposed to clean up the mess for my lord. He left behind a big mess. Anything could happen in the future."

"?"

"You don't need to know so much. You only need to know that I was born into a branch of the mortal royal family. No one in my family survived, and I am the only one left. But this is also good. When I am avoiding the gods, I don't have to worry about being caught by them."

Although Huang Guxuan only said two short sentences, the amount of information in his words, plus what Xiao had heard before, successfully made Xiao imagine a long and bumpy experience. He felt that these experiences could be written into a million-word novel. There was no way, these buffs stacked together, it was too much like the protagonist of a novel.

"Are the gods still after you?" he asked.

"No more. They know they can't do anything to me, but they can't let go of their face and still put up a wanted order. Occasionally, some fools may come to trouble me, but don't worry, you won't be implicated. But remember, before you have enough strength, don't show your beastly power in front of the gods."

"..."

After daybreak, the two continued on their journey, and belatedly realized that they had left Ling Xiao in the inn.

They had been away from the inn for a long time. If they went back now, they might not be able to find Ling Xiao, so they decided to continue on their journey. As for Ling Xiao, this place was so small, and the continent was surrounded by the Black Sea. They would meet him sooner or later.

It seemed that Xiao had used up all his bad luck in that town, and they didn't encounter any accidents along the way. When they returned to Tiancheng, they found that the city was decorated with lights and colors, just like a festival.
