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

There was still a long time before the party officially started, but the venue was already packed with people.

Because they heard that there would be a special program at this evening party, many people came to watch, so much so that the venue was full of people. Many people were hanging on the trees and roofs near the venue.

Soon, the organizers noticed this situation. They set up a new venue, broadcast the event through a magic circle, and sent people to drive away the people on the rooftops and trees. When the party officially started, there was only one figure left on the rooftops around the venue.

Xiao sat alone on the roof, the cold wind lifting the hem of his clothes, swaying in the air.

He was here not because there were too many people and he was late to get a seat. The organizers had reserved a place for performers like him to watch the performance, and it was in the front row, but he just didn't want to stay there.

There was nothing special about the evening's program. Singing, dancing, drama... all of them were programs he had seen before. If there was any difference, it was probably that the performers here were really talented and not so awkward.

"Why don't you stay with them?" Red Xiao suddenly asked.

Xiao: "It's quiet here, no one will disturb me..."

"Oh?" Red Xiao teased, "Why would you come to a place like this just for peace and quiet?"

Xiao: "...I can concentrate on chatting with you guys."

"......" Red Goblin was silent.

Fortunately, they were only communicating through voice instead of talking face to face, otherwise his uncontrollable expression would have exposed his true thoughts.

"Is that why?" He suddenly laughed, "You don't have to come with them. If you are worried about the performance, just let someone notify you in advance."

"This place is different from other places." Xiao continued.

Red Xiao was puzzled: "Huh? Do we have to come here?"

Xiao: "It's lively here."

"Don't you think you're being inconsistent?" Hong Xiao chuckled, with a hint of doting in his tone, "Forget it, keep making it up. I want to hear how you plan to argue."

"I want to... spend this time alone with my closest people during the New Year." Xiao then explained, "Just think of it as my weird habit."

"Strange? Isn't this as it should be?" Red Xiao said as a matter of course.

Xiao: “Huh?”

Red Xiao: "You've caused me so much trouble. How come you've forgotten it?"

elf:"......"

Red Xiao: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. You said you wanted to chat, what should we talk about?"

elf:"......"

"You won't..." Red Xiao said in an unhappy tone, "You're just talking, right?"

After the words were spoken, the atmosphere fell into a strange awkwardness.

As luck would have it, Xiao is not good at finding topics to talk about. When Red Xiao asked this question so seriously, he was a little at a loss for a moment.

A high-pitched singing voice floated from not far away, and finally it was Green Xiao who broke the silence: "Let's talk about the New Year?"

Red Xiao: "I don't care. But I haven't experienced this before, so you guys should tell me first."

Xiao: "I have experienced this quite a few times, but the ones that remain in my memory are quite ordinary. I just went to bed late, which is no different from any other day."

Red Mandrill: "What about you? The sky is full of glowing garbage... It won't be dull, will it?"

"Pfft..." His words inexplicably hit Xiao's funny spot.

Red Xiao asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"

"That's called Xiaodeng, not the glowing garbage." Xiao explained.

Red Xiao said "Oh" absentmindedly.

Green Xiao: "You mean the Lantern Festival? I... am in a special situation and have never celebrated a festival in the city. I just saw many lanterns floating in the sky above Liyue Harbor at night."

"..." Hong Xiao said with disdain, "...Is this how you chat?"

As a last resort, they changed the topic, and finally after focusing on the party, with the help of Hong Xiao's ability to find fault, they successfully continued the topic.

It was getting darker, the temperature dropped a little, and the party was coming to an end, but there was still some time before midnight.

"elf--"

Xiao was arguing with Hong Xiao about a certain move of the lion dance when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He lowered his head and saw Su Yunyan waving at him.

"They said they were going backstage to get ready and asked me to come and call you."

"Got it." He jumped off the roof and followed Su Yunyan towards the jubilant crowd.

......

On the stage, eighteen dancing lions were standing, lying, jumping, or rolling to the beat of the drums, just like a group of lions taking a rest.

At this moment, everyone's attention was on the lion dance. Under the cover of the lighting, no one noticed that a silver ball rolled into the performance venue.

The lions had rested enough, so they dispersed and walked towards the edge of the stage, as if they were strolling around or searching for prey.

"Roar--"

Just as the lions were leaving the stage, something strange happened. A three-person-tall silver dragon appeared in the center of the stage. With a roar, a faint pressure spread, and everyone felt the fear engraved in their bones.

"What the hell, what's going on? Is there an attack?!"

Many people in the audience were in a panic. The security personnel who had already blended into the crowd took immediate action and quickly stabilized the situation.

"Dong dong!"

Two heavy drum beats hit the audience's hearts, and they realized that the 18 lions that had been off the stage had returned to the stage. However, this time, the lion dancers had changed from two people to one person.

The soldiers of the Red Butterfly Army appeared wearing lion skins.

The lions surrounded the silver dragon, and two lions approached cautiously, shaking their heads and looking at the uninvited guest. The other lions did not stand there, their expressions and movements were full of curiosity.

Suddenly, the silver dragon moved and drove away the two lions that were testing it. The lion group was furious and felt they were being provoked.

At this point, the conflict between the two sides broke out.

Just as the lions were besieging the silver dragon, the dragon dance team came on stage. They held a long dragon and circled around the stage, as if they were guarding the audience below.

Some audience members noticed something and exclaimed, "Why is that pressure gone?"

Someone else chimed in: "I noticed it too! It's amazing, is it because of these dragons?"

Someone questioned, "Are you dumbfounded by the performance? How is that possible? That silver guy must have taken back his pressure."

Someone analyzed seriously: "This dragon dance could be some kind of formation, so it's possible that they are isolating the pressure."

Some people also sighed: "What the hell, what an immersive experience, this wave is right!"

Others were concerned: "No, aren't you worried that this is not just a show, but a real invasion?"

"Look, someone else is on stage!"

A few people dressed in normal clothes flew onto the stage and joined the team that was besieging the silver dragon without saying a word. They cooperated with the lion group and attacked without mercy. The stage was soon torn to pieces by the residual power of the attack.

In the audience, some discerning people quickly saw their strength.

"Saint-level masters? All of them! They are so wealthy!"

Su Yunyan shouted "OK" and glanced towards the backstage. She was already curious about what role Xiao would play in this and how he would appear.

The silver dragon had thick skin and flesh, and the attacks of the humans and lions could not hurt it at all. After about a quarter of an hour, the lion group that first joined the battle was defeated. Not long after, the few people also retreated exhausted.

Just as the silver dragon was about to press on with the victory, a firework flashed past it and rose high into the sky almost close to its nose.

The next moment, on the stage that had been demolished to nothing, countless fireworks shot up into the sky, blooming into a vast sea of ​​flowers in the deep night sky, and the brilliant flames completely engulfed the figure of the silver dragon.

Amid the explosion of fireworks, a scream was faintly heard.

Midnight has arrived.

When the fireworks stopped and the evening breeze carried away the smoke, revealing the stage hidden inside, Silver Dragon was grabbing a bag filled with red liquid and splashing it on himself.

At this point, it was only as tall as one person.

If it weren't for the pungent smell of gunpowder from the many fireworks that had just been set off, the audience might have smelled the scent of ketchup.

The scene in front of him suddenly became clear. The silver dragon crushed the bag in his hand, wiped his face with his claws covered with red sauce, and roared furiously. But before he finished roaring, the deafening sound of firecrackers came from the side, completely covering his voice.

It covered its ears, squatted on the ground and curled up into a ball, as if it was experiencing something terrible.

Finally, the sound of firecrackers subsided. It stared with its scarlet eyes, looking around as if it was looking for something. Before it could move, two drum beats exploded like thunder, freezing it in place.

But this was just the beginning. The drumbeats did not stop, and in between, there was the sound of orderly footsteps. In the smoke left by the firecrackers, something was walking towards the stage.

A group of light cavalry rushed out from it, but did not rush towards the silver dragon. Instead, they swayed outside the smoke, like a tour guide waiting for the passengers who had fallen behind.

The drum beats became more rapid, and the silhouettes of cavalrymen appeared in the smoke. Masks appeared in the white smoke, glowing with seven colors, and purple thunder spread in the smoke, like a parade of gods.

As the first ghost-faced cavalryman rushed out of the smoke, the light cavalry no longer hesitated and led the team towards the silver dragon.

The Ghost-faced Cavalry were all dressed differently and their formation was very scattered. They did not look like an army, but rather like a group of acquaintances who happened to travel together. There was a certain order in the disorder.

The scattered teams launched several charges at the silver dragon, adding more red to the latter's body.

Silver Dragon also adapted to their attack rhythm and was looking for an opportunity to escape. Suddenly, he found a flaw, and at this moment, a combination of blue and purple appeared in the thick white smoke - Wuqing's mask and the purple thunder under his feet.

The thunder suddenly descended and struck the silver dragon. When it recovered, the first thing it saw was the raised horse hoof.

After two rounds of fighting, Xiao threw the horse aside.

He was not used to using a gun while riding a horse, and the horse was also in the way, affecting his performance. In an instant, only the green afterimage and the intertwined gun shadows were left on the field, and they actually suppressed the Silver Dragon.

"it is good!"

In a VIP seat somewhere, Chen Feng stood up suddenly with an excited expression, as if he had found his life goal.

He is quite capable and can usually tell whether a fight is real or fake, and the battle scenes are also very gorgeous.

However, his eyesight in other aspects is not so good. For example, the person on the field is Xiao, but he did not recognize him, although that was also because he was wearing Xiao's costume.

The military uniform that Xiao is wearing now is the one that Luo Yun had customized for him.

At the end of the performance, a green figure flashed several times and appeared in the sky, like the sword of Damoris falling from the sky. The shadow of the gun bloomed, and there was no silver dragon figure on the stage. Amid the cheers of everyone, the only person on the stage welcomed the curtain call.
