Chapter 894 - 894: Battling to Vent Her Anger
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Xiaoxiao and Yin Xiaodie searched the South Holy Mountain.
Along the way, they encountered many famous scenes of partic.i.p.ants s.n.a.t.c.hing white pigeons.
Everyone wanted to be the Saintess. It didn’t matter if she was the daughter of the four great families. As long as she became the Holy Maiden, there would be many opportunities to make the family stronger.
The four great families could arrange for their trusted aides to partic.i.p.ate in the selection. Although the others could not, they could temporarily team up.
“It’s intense.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two groups fighting fiercely in the southeast.
She really did not understand the thinking of the person who first created the Holy Selection in the Holy Maiden Temple. How could that person think of such an unreliable method to choose the Saintess?
The first generation, the second generation… and even the previous generations might really have a lot of luck. However, it had evolved to this point where it was all based on the family’s strength.
“Aren’t you going to s.n.a.t.c.h this?” Yin Xiaodie pointed at the pigeon they had locked in the cloth bag.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wuhu that flew away. “No.”
Yin Xiaodie suddenly whispered, “Did you notice that we were followed?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked around. “Really?”
Yin Xiaodie nodded seriously. “It’s a bird. It seems to have been following us.
Could it have been sent by the Saintess to monitor our whereabouts?”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Wuhu, you little spy. You were discovered.”
Su Xiaoxiao called Wuhu over and said to Yin Xiaodie, “It’s a little secret agent I raised… a parrot.”
Yin Xiaodie did not hear the first few words. She understood the little parrot.
She didn’t probe further and thought that it was a dialect.
She looked at the blue parrot on Su Xiaoxiao’s arm with sparkling eyes. “It’s so cute.”
Wuhu spread its wings, puffed out its chest to show off its small chest muscles.
Yin Xiaodie could not hold back her nature as a child. Her small body wished she could jump up, and her invisible tail wished it could wag.
Seeing that she liked it, Su Xiaoxiao handed her arm over. “I’ll let you touch it.”
Yin Xiaodie blinked and raised her hand. Just as she was about to touch it, her expression suddenly turned serious and she retracted her hand. “Who wants to touch it? Childish!”
Wuhu did not understand.
It turned around to look at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and fed Wuhu a piece of a bird food before letting it fly.
Wuhu did not fly far. It kept circling in the sky and landed on the branches from time to time.
Yin Xiaodie did not care on the surface, but her eyes wished they could grow on Wuhu.
What a cute parrot. Boohoo!
What was worth mentioning was that the two of them met Cheng Qingxue twice on the way.
On both occasions, different people were s.n.a.t.c.hing the white pigeon, but Cheng Qingxue was the same as them and did not fight for it.
Yin Xiaodie clicked her tongue. “Why is she so kind?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “She knows that those birds aren’t the real holy birds.” It seemed that Cheng Qingxue also had a way to recognize the Holy Bird.
“Follow her,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
“Oh.” Yin Xiaodie followed. “It’s not you.” Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
Wuhu flew over.
Wuhu followed Cheng Qingxue, and they followed Wuhu. This way, there was less risk of being discovered.
Cheng Qingxue was not searching aimlessly. She had been heading southeast ever since she entered the mountain.
Su Xiaoxiao was basically certain that Cheng Qingxue knew where the Holy Bird was.
In the past, the Saintess was not so bold. Even if Yin Xiaodie had a grandaunt who was an elder in the Holy Maiden Temple, the other party did not reveal any news about the Holy Bird. It was obvious how bold the Saintess had grown to be and how ruthless her methods were.
It was not strange to think about it. She would not have targeted Wei Xu if she did not have the guts or means to target Wei Xu.
Cheng Qingxue stopped in front of a small valley filled with bell orchids.
She took out a few dark purple seeds from her accompanying pouch.
Yin Xiaodie was shocked. “The seeds of the Snake Bone Flower!”
Unfortunately, these seeds had already dried and could not be planted. Otherwise, Su Xiaoxiao could s.n.a.t.c.h them and plant one.
The seeds of the Snake Bone Flower were fatally attractive to the Holy Bird.
It seemed that the Holy Bird was nearby.
As expected, Cheng Qingxue only took a few steps in the valley with the seeds in her palm when a snow-white bird flew over from the sky.
It was a pigeon, but it did not look like a pigeon. It was even more beautiful than a pigeon. Its wings were voluptuous, and its figure was light. There was a small fan-shaped feather crown on its head. Cheng Qingxue’s eyes lit up when she saw it!
The Holy Bird was here!
“Sister was right. These seeds are really useful!”
The position of Saintess was hers!
Just as Cheng Qingxue was feeling smug about her victory, the Holy Bird suddenly spun in her palm and flew away without eating a bite!
Cheng Qingxue was shocked.
What was going on?
Wasn’t the Holy Bird clearly here for its bird food?
Why did it turn around and leave when it had already flown here?
The Holy Bird suddenly flew into the forest, as if there was a delicious feast there that was more appealing than these few Snake Bone Flower seeds.
Cheng Qingxue frowned and immediately chased after it.
When she saw the Holy Bird landing on Su Xiaoxiao’s arm and eating the bird food in Su Xiaoxiao’s palm, she felt terrible.
“You again!”
Su Xiaoxiao hid Yin Xiaodie first. She was alone now.
She touched the Holy Bird’s wings and looked at Cheng Qingxue with a faint smile. “It’s me.”
As Cheng Qingxue looked at the bird eating heartily, a trace of shock flashed across her eyes.
The Holy Bird’s favorite food was clearly the seeds of the Snake Bone Flower.
She frowned fiercely. “Give me back the Holy Bird!”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Return it to you? Does the Holy Bird belong to your family?”
Cheng Qingxue said coldly, “I found it first! No one knows this place. You must have followed me!”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “If no one knows this place, how would you know? Could it be that you and the Saintess cheated?” Cheng Qingxue’s face turned pale.
Cheating would result in disqualification…
But she was indignant.
She was clearly the one who lured the Holy Bird out, but this little liar from the countryside beat her to it!
“I’ll say it one last time. Aren’t you going to return it to me? If you don’t, I’m going to be rude to you!”
That little maidservant called Mei Ji was not around. She wanted to see who could protect her today!
Su Xiaoxiao placed the Holy Bird on a branch at the side. With Wuhu following, she was not afraid that the Holy Bird would fly away and not be found.
Cheng Qingxue was worried. The Holy Bird was extremely timid and might not show itself again after being frightened.
However, she would rather not get it than let Su Xiaoxiao have it.
She whipped Su Xiaoxiao.
It was another nine-section whip with thorns!
With a bang, the Holy Bird was sent flying.
Cheng Qingxue was even angrier.
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t wearing silver silk gloves. After all, Cheng Qingxue had seen silver silk gloves twice. She would expose herself if she took them out.
She pulled out Lord Wu An’s dagger and cut off the tail of Cheng Qingxue’s whip.
Cheng Qingxue looked at her in disbelief. “You… you know martial arts?” “Not really, but it’s enough to beat you up.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t give Cheng Qingxue a chance to attack. She took a few steps forward, hooked a branch with one hand, and kicked Cheng Qingxue’s chest.
Cheng Qingxue felt a pain in her ribs and was sent flying.
She fell headfirst into the mud-filled ditch..
