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

Chapter 381 Where is my reward?

The protagonist of the topic just discussed suddenly appeared in front of him, which scared Baili Ling. He couldn't help but show a look of panic.

But the next moment, he hid these emotions, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked: "Xiao, why are you at the door?"

Xiao didn't say anything, but just raised the paper bag in his hand and handed it to Baili Ling.

An enticing aroma emanated from the paper bag, as if asking Baili Ling, would you like to eat some?

At the same time, a cold gaze from nowhere fell on Baili Ling. He felt as if he was being stared at by some terrifying thing. If he dared to move the paper bag, he would be swallowed up by that terrifying thing.

He smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, saying, "No, I'm going back to my room to rest. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, he closed the door and turned to leave, and at that moment, the feeling of being stared at disappeared.

Where Xiao couldn't see, Baili Ling rubbed the goose bumps on his arms through his clothes.

What was that feeling just now?

There is a strong man with strange habits living in the inn. Is Xiao being targeted by him?

Or is that just my own illusion?

Xiao put down the hand holding the paper bag and stood there without moving. He didn't move until Baili Ling turned into a room. Then he took a step and continued walking towards his room.

Green Mandrill's voice echoed in his mind: "He looked wrong just now."

"I saw it." Xiao replied.

At that moment, Baili Ling's expression changed so obviously, and he was not blind, so it was hard for him not to notice it.

He thought for a moment and added, "He must have been really scared."

He quietly walked to the closed door and jumped in the face of the person who opened the door. It was really scary. He felt that he would be scared in the same situation.

However, he didn't mean to scare Baili Ling on purpose. He just happened to pass by when Baili Ling opened the door.

He never thought that Baili Ling was feeling guilty, nor did he think that he was the target of this group of people.

After all, although Xiao and Baili Ling are not friends, they have no grudges against each other.

He has goodwill towards the world and will not make malicious assumptions about his colleagues for no reason.

Xiao changed the subject and asked in his heart, "Did you just scare him?"

"No." Hong Xiao's disdainful snort sounded in his mind.

It is a confession without being asked.

Xiao didn't expose it. He pushed open the door, entered his room, and placed various foods he brought back from the night market on the table. They were almost all vegetarian.

The Red Mandrill's voice echoed in his mind again, this time with a hint of sarcasm: "When did you start eating grass?"

"Change your taste once in a while." This is how Xiao replied.

He was not a person who liked meat, but Hong Xiao prepared a lot of fish and meat for him every morning, and he was a little tired of it.

It’s definitely not because Hong Xiao’s cooking skills remain static, there is a lot of room for improvement.

Red Xiao accepted his explanation and suddenly asked, "Is that sandworm golden fat valuable?"

"It must be quite valuable to be able to attract so many people to gather in this town." Xiao took a bite of the dumpling, and the mushroom stuffing inside immediately leaked out. He stared at the stuffing and hesitated for several seconds, but finally continued to chew.

Hong Xiao encouraged, "Why don't we..."

"Do you know how to obtain sandworm golden fat?"

Xiao interrupted Red Xiao, and the other party immediately fell silent.

he does not know.

Green Mandrill interrupted: "Judging from the name, it should be related to a creature called 'sandworm', but other possibilities cannot be ruled out."

Red Xiao was silent for a moment, then suggested again: "Let's go find Ghost Willow."

"No."

Before Xiao could speak, Green Xiao rejected the proposal first.

He said, "The desert is unlike any other place, and even more dangerous. If you enter rashly, you could get lost at best, or end up in danger at worst. This sea of ​​sand is extraordinary, and we don't yet know what the 'Year of Silence' means. It would be inappropriate to enter now."

Red Xiao sneered: "Are you scared?"

Green Mandrill: “…”

Seeing that the two were about to spark a quarrel, Xiao quickly intervened: "Well, listen to me first, I also think that now is not the time to enter the Black River Sands. There is too little information right now.

The shopkeeper mentioned earlier that with more people going treasure hunting in the desert, there are fewer townspeople capable of leading people across the desert. Baili Ling probably won't be able to find a suitable candidate that quickly. I'll wait until I get the information tomorrow before deciding."

The green goblin hummed softly, while the red goblin sounded reluctant.

He said, "Okay."

"Why did you suddenly start thinking about Sandworm Golden Fat and Ghost Willow?" Xiao asked.

Red Xiao replied, "The spirit beasts on the grassland are too weak."

"Because your hands are itching?" Xiao's mouth curled up unconsciously. "If that's the case, why did you just ask if the sandworm golden fat was worth money?"

Red Xiao was silent for a moment, then said unhappily, "Curious, no?"

"Okay, of course." Xiao said with a teasing smile.

Red Xiao made a "tsk" sound and muttered softly, "Why are you asking?"

Although Xiao doesn't have the ability to read minds, the two have been together for so long that he roughly guessed Red Xiao's intentions.

The little red bird actually knows how to make money to support the family. It’s really not easy.

"Speaking of valuable items, we seem to have forgotten something." Green Goblin suddenly said.

"What's the matter?" Xiao asked puzzledly.

"Rewards based on merit."

Xiao was stunned at first, then his expression suddenly changed.

Yes, now is not the time for an arduous and decisive battle. After we finish fighting the envoy and the beast tide led by him, it is reasonable that there should be a reward process according to merit!

He awakened the mountain god, which directly changed the course of the battle and ended it early. As he was the first to be meritorious, he should at least get some rewards such as spirit stones and magic weapons, right?

It would be fine if he forgot, but how could Ye Lingchuan, a general, forget and even let him leave empty-handed?

Is this reasonable?

This is very unreasonable.

Hong Xiao also sneered: "Very good, let's go back and settle the score with him."

"Let's forget about this." Xiao advised, "The journey is quite long."

It took several days to fly here, and it was difficult to fly back home, even though it wasn't him who was flying all the way.

Hong Xiao made a "tsk" sound and said nothing more, as if he disliked his other self even more and didn't want to talk to him.

After calming down the red Xiao who wanted to fight back, Xiao continued to think about what had just happened.

In addition to rewarding people based on their merits, he also discovered something even more unreasonable.

At the beginning, Ye Lingchuan said that he was a candidate for some plan, and he was not allowed to do this or go that. Someone was sent to keep an eye on him, and he also said that if he was not too busy, he would personally send him somewhere.

Later, thanks to the mountain god, the identity of the Golden-winged Peng King was exposed, and Ye Lingchuan said that His Majesty the Emperor would meet him.

Now, the envoy Xueying who had been harassing Baihe City for a long time has been defeated, and Ye Lingchuan can finally take a short break and leave Baihe City.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped caring about the planned candidates and stopped staring at himself. He continued to say things like "he would personally send himself somewhere". Instead, he let himself go to Huozhou, and he was not worried that he would not be able to contact himself later and would not be able to report to His Majesty the Emperor when he came.

This is a strange turn of events.

If you think about it carefully, there is something weird about going to Huozhou.

Xiao thought for a while, then slowly asked, "What do you think is the relationship between Baili Ling and the others and General Ye?"
