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

As the New Year approaches, the city becomes more lively at night. People rush to buy New Year goods, and some people have hung red lanterns at their doorsteps. Many unknown spirit animals fly in the sky, emitting light like fireflies, lighting up the streets at night.

"Let's find a place to stay first?" Xiao looked at the New Year goods displayed by street vendors, some of which were things he was familiar with.

It seems that everyone shares the same idea of ​​pursuing good fortune.

"The City Lord's Mansion has specially prepared guest rooms to accommodate powerful people who come to stay temporarily. We don't need to compete with others for empty rooms in the inn." Huang Guxuan said.

Xiao nodded.

"New Year's Eve... what should I prepare?"

"Is this your first time celebrating a festival?" Huang Guxuan looked at Xiao with an expected expression, "I don't know. New Year is a festival in the mortal world. I have never experienced this."

Xiao glanced at Huang Guxuan, who then said, "You can go to the City Lord's Mansion first, and ask the servant who is responsible for entertaining you to take you to prepare New Year's goods tomorrow morning."

Xiao nodded, walked slowly, and turned his gaze to the street snacks.

"Do you guys want anything to eat?" he asked in his mind.

Red Xiao: "Me? No need, just take care of yourself."

"What about you?" Xiao asked Green Xiao again.

Green Mandrill: “No need.”

Xiao: “I understand.”

Green Mandrill: "What?"

Xiao: "I haven't cooked for a long time. I don't know if my cooking skills have become rusty."

Green Mandrill: "No need to be so troublesome."

Red Xiao: "Why do you have to go to so much trouble? Fine, I'll give it a try."

Green Mandrill: “?”

Xiao: "Don't worry, everyone has a share."

Green Mandrill: “That’s not what I meant.”

Red Mandrill: "Oh? What do you mean?"

Green Mandrill: "I..."

"Okay, I found the store. I'll go buy some ingredients, stop making noise." Xiao interrupted them and went to the grocery store to pick out what he needed.

"Sweet almonds, white sugar..."

While Xiao was looking for food, a young man came to the shopkeeper to ask for money for the New Year's goods he had chosen. Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded behind him.

"No way, there is no one who can't even afford a portrait of a door god, so he would steal it, right?"

The young man turned around with a strange look on his face, and when he saw clearly who was speaking, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

The other party continued, "Cheng Xiao, you and I were classmates. If you had hidden yourself well, I could have pretended not to see anything, but you just happened to show up. If I don't stand up and condemn you, you will bring shame to our school."

Steal something?

Cheng Xiao looked puzzled.

It's not the first or second time these people have picked a fight with him. Why are they using such a convincing excuse this time?

He followed the other person's gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched, and saw a portrait of a door god lying quietly at his feet.

Can it be more fake?

The shopkeeper was about to say something when a few more people came in. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth when he saw the leader.

The man was the son of a powerful official in the city, and he couldn't afford to offend him.

"Isn't this the second son of the Xu family? What brings you here?" He immediately put on a flattering expression, walked around the counter and went to greet him.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Cheng Xiao's heart sank. It seemed that these people came prepared.

"Just wandering around." The second son of the Xu family raised his hand, signaling the shopkeeper to stop. Then, he looked at Cheng Xiao and said jokingly, "But, I just heard outside that a classmate was stealing from you?"

"Yes... yes." The shopkeeper stammered and glanced at Cheng Xiao with pity, "Luckily this little brother reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it."

"What do you want?" Cheng Xiao asked coldly.

The second son of the Xu family did not speak, but the people behind him said angrily: "Pay compensation! Ten times the compensation!"

"Parade! You are a repeat offender. Let everyone see what kind of person you are."

"You are bringing shame to the academy. You must apologize to all your classmates!"

"..."

A group of onlookers quickly gathered outside the store, whispering and pointing at Cheng Xiao.

"Yes, he must be severely punished." The shopkeeper also said.

Cheng Xiao half-closed his eyes, thinking about how to break the impasse. He was careless and didn't even notice that these people were waiting for him here.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a stunning young man suddenly walked over, picked up the door god portrait on the ground, and walked straight towards the shopkeeper.

"How much is it together?" Xiao handed the things in his hand forward.

It happened so suddenly that the second son of the Xu family did not react until Xiao came to his side.

"what you do!"

Before he could finish his words, the man following closely behind him pounced towards Xiao, but not only was he dodged, he was also tripped by Xiao and fell to the ground.

"Check out." Xiao glanced at him indifferently.

"Are you two together?"

Xiao ignored it.

The shopkeeper stood uncomfortably. In front of him was Xiao's calm and terrifying eyes, and behind him was the threatening gaze of the second young master of the Xu family. He was just a small businessman, why should we embarrass him? !

Xiao didn't realize how scary he was. When communicating with strangers, he usually had a blank expression on his face. Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't move, he casually took out a handful of money from his storage bracelet and put it in the shopkeeper's hand.

"enough?"

"What are you doing! Those are stolen goods!" screamed the man who falsely accused Cheng Xiao of stealing.

"This?" Xiao put away the food, picked up the door god portrait and shook it, "My hand slipped and I threw it over accidentally. I'm sorry if it caused any misunderstanding."

"You may be short, but you're very brave. Do you really want to go against me?" The second son of the Xu family had a gloomy face and stared at Xiao.

Red Mandrill: "An ant dares to threaten me?"

Hearing the words of the second son of the Xu family, the shopkeeper was instantly awakened and was about to kneel down to the two men. However, the second son of the Xu family knelt even faster, with the pair of heterochromatic pupils reflected in his eyes, and his face was full of suspicion. The other party was so thin, but he only used one hand to press him down so that he could not get up.

He has entered the wonderland.

"Your ability doesn't seem to support your status." Red Xiao said with a smile.

He only took away part of his body control, so if Xiao wanted to stop him, he could still do it. To outsiders, it looked like he suddenly had heterochromia.

"I can handle this level of problem myself." Xiao said.

Red Xiao: "You come? You've delayed the matter until now, even though it can be solved by just asking them to get lost. When you're done and come back, do you want to treat me to dinner or a midnight snack?"

Xiao muttered unconvincedly: "I didn't waste much time..."

"Be bold!"

"Let go of the Second Young Master!"

The people brought by the second son of the Xu family shouted at the red goblin, but no one dared to step forward.

The strongest people here have been subdued. If they start fighting, wouldn't that be courting death? They are just here to watch and have fun, and to support the place. They don't get paid as bodyguards, so why should they risk their lives like bodyguards?

"Want it?" Hong Xiao grabbed the second son of the Xu family by the shoulders, lifted him up, and then threw him towards the noisy crowd, knocking over several people. After that, he left the store and joined Huang Guxuan who was waiting outside.

Cheng Xiao hurriedly paid the money and chased after him to thank him, but he couldn't find Xiao. Without any hesitation, he took advantage of the fact that those who were looking for trouble were not paying attention to him and plunged into the crowd and disappeared.

......

"Why was there so much noise in the store before? What happened?" Huang Guxuan asked on the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao briefly introduced the cause and effect of the matter.

"Looking for trouble on purpose? If you see that friend in the future, please tell him a message for me."

"It's useless to retreat blindly. It will only make others think you are weak and easy to bully."

Xiao complied.

"Where's the green Xiao?" Xiao went to chat with his other self, but suddenly found that there was only one red Xiao.

"In the previous argument, he didn't say anything about me and just avoided and hid away. Tsk, how boring." Red Xiao replied.

elf:"......"

He was afraid that the two would fight, but luckily they didn't.

In recent days, the two Xiaos have been getting along well, and he finally put his mind at ease. But not long after he put his mind at ease, he took off again.
