Chapter 136: Xiao Gege, I want it too!

  Xiao Yun smiled suddenly, "If you say savior, you are my savior. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have turned into a withered bone by now."

  Ye Lan smiled and said, "This is what they mean by 'one drink, one peck, all have their own destiny', in the dark there must be a heavenly arrangement. Xiao Da Ge, if my father and the elder uncles knew you caught this culprit, they would definitely be very happy."

  "Let's get out of the woods first!"

  Xiao Yun gently patted Ye Lan's shoulder, and the three of them extinguished the fire in the forest, making sure not to leave any sparks behind, before walking out of the Old Ghost Forest together.

  A strange scene occurred, they had just walked out of Lao Guilin, and heard a burst of noise coming from the forest.

  The three of them exchanged a glance, and Ye Lan and Zhuo Zhu's faces were filled with excited smiles. That was the cry of the Destiny Worms, and their cries were so joyful, rising and falling in succession, and there were still quite a few of them.

  "Squeak!"

  Qiao'er stood on Xiao Yun's shoulder, turned around and called out twice with a somewhat disdainful tone.

  Ye Lan and Zhuo Zhu's eyes both fell on Qiao Er, it seemed that previously this little guy was indeed the one causing trouble in the forest, to the point where even the insects in the forest didn't dare show their faces. Now that this scourge had left, immediately there would be universal jubilation.

  ——

  Early in the morning, Chuo jumped onto Xiao Yun's shoulder and chirped in his ear to wake him up. Xiao Yun looked at this small bird with an extremely ordinary appearance, but his face was full of smiles.

  Its plumage is emerald green, and its body shape is no different from that of an ordinary sparrow. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this little guy was the Miao Yin bird that Lele had mentioned, carrying such great power.

  Upon closer observation, apart from its exceptionally clear and loud cry, Xiao Yun also discovered a difference - this little guy actually had seven small nostrils, each of which could produce completely different sounds.

  It seems that the Miao Yin bird sings with these seven sound holes. Xiao Yun listened carefully, stunned for a moment, and smiled, "From now on, follow me obediently, and I will pass on the Seven Sounds Method to you. Not long from now, you will surely shine again in the Tian Le Continent!"

  "Squeak!"

  The clever and quick-witted one called out, using its small face to gently rub against Xiao Yun's face, the appearance was very intimate.

  Xiao Yun's face was also filled with an extremely enjoyable expression. As the saying goes, "Good fortune is rooted in disaster, and disaster lurks beneath good fortune." This calamity, although not what he had wished for, but being able to obtain the Miao Yin Divine Bird, could be considered as not having made a futile trip.

  Under the vast sky, only I am familiar with the seven-note melody. This little guy has been following me, and it's indeed a perfect match. This little guy is incredibly powerful, even the Buddhist music god Narada feels inferior to him. Having such a pet, Xiao Yun feels both delighted and pressured.

  But Xiao Yun had that confidence, he would definitely let Qiao Er regain its former glory, and not tarnish the reputation of the Miao Yin Divine Bird.

  Her mind sank into the sea of knowledge, and her joy was still asleep. This little girl was mysterious, as if she knew everything, but didn't know what her origins were.

  Although he didn't know Lele's true identity, Xiao Yun could be certain that she had no ill intentions towards him. With Lele's help, combined with his own exceptional talent in the music path, he believed that one day he would stand at the pinnacle of this world.

  "Squeak, squeak! Squeak, squeak!"

  Qiao'er was jumping all over Xiao Yun's body, calling out in extreme delight, occasionally pecking at Xiao Yun twice, with her two eyes looking pitifully at Xiao Yun, as if she had something to say.

  "What do you want to say? Is it very happy to follow me?" Xiao Yunle said with a smile.

  Ye Lan was awakened by Qiao Er's cries, stretched and rubbed her eyes, "Xiao Da Ge, is it hungry?"

  One word woke up the sleeping person, Xiao Yun patted her forehead, even Lian Ye Lan could see that she was hungry, and she didn't notice it herself, this master is a bit incompetent.

  "Okay, wait, I'll get you something good to eat!"

  Looking at its appearance, it was clear that it was still savoring the big meal from last night. Xiao Yun let out a sigh and thought to himself that the bee pupae in his storage bag were going to suffer again. However, it was also good that he had many more bee pupae in hand, except for the part that needed to be used for breeding, the rest should still be enough for this little guy to eat for a while. By the time he hatched the Emperor Bee colony, he wouldn't have to worry about Qiao Er's food supply anymore.

  "Xiao Gege, I want it too!" Ye Lan's face was filled with longing.

  Xiao Yun stumbled upon hearing this, but Ye Lan's words made him unable to help but let his imagination run wild.

  ……

  ——

  Tongtian Village, Half Mountain Cottage.

  "Is it just this little thing?"

  Several old men gathered around Xiao Yun's side, stroking their beards while staring at the clever thing in Xiao Yun's hand. After returning from the mountain, Ye Lan and Zhuo Zhu told Ye Changqing and others about what happened to Lao Gui Lin, and Ye Changqing and others immediately found Xiao Yun excitedly.

  For decades, the mysterious sharp decline of the life insect in the old ghost forest, Tongtian Village is practicing the insect music Tao, which cannot be separated from the life insect. Once the life insect becomes extinct, Tongtian Village will also cut off the inheritance of the insect tribe, they can only watch with their eyes and worry in their hearts.

  They had entered the old devil's forest to investigate who knows how many times, but all were in vain. Now hearing that Xiao Yun and others have found the reason, they feel both excited and suspicious.

  Qiao'er glared at the group of old men in front of her, clearly displeased with these eccentric old men and also not liking being surrounded by so many people.

  Xiao Yun stretched out his hand to gently stroke and comfort Qiao'er, saying to Ye Bai and the others, "It's now my pet, I've already tamed it, it won't go cause trouble in Laogui Forest again. Qiao'er is just a sparrow, I hope you seniors won't make things difficult for it."

  It must be said that Chuo's appearance is indeed confusing enough, without a bright exterior, looking harmless to humans and animals, those who don't know will only take it as an ordinary sparrow.

  Several old men looked at each other in dismay, they were all respected figures in the village, and it was not worth their while to take action against a single sparrow. However, they were somewhat suspicious, how could this one sparrow have mixed into the Old Devil Forest?

  Maybe it was brought in by the villagers decades ago? However, can a sparrow live for so long? Or does it mean that there is more than one sparrow in Lao Gui's forest?

  Xiao Yun sat on one side teasing the birds, several old men were there discussing heatedly. After a while, Ye Bai said, "Everyone, it seems we have to go to Lao Gui Lin again and investigate thoroughly."

  Ye Changqing and the other elders also nodded solemnly after hearing this, then bid farewell to Xiao Yun and left.

  "These old men are too rude, Xiao Da Ge helped us find the reason and didn't even say thank you!" Several old men left, Xiaohu said with some dissatisfaction.

  "Why didn't you say so earlier, coward!" Ye Lan picked up a peanut and threw it at Xiao Hu's head.

  Xiao Hu curled his lip, those old men were just here, if he dared to say this, he would have been beaten up a long time ago.

  Xiao Yun just smiled and didn't say anything about thanks, he wasn't concerned about it, being able to obtain the Miao Yin Divine Bird was already more than satisfying for him. Besides, Ye Changqing and others had yet to confirm whether what they said was true, so thanking them now would be a bit premature.

  "Xiao Da Ge, did you catch the life insect?" Xiao Hu asked Xiang Yun, but his eyes were wandering on Qiao Er's body.

  "I'm just going to take a look at the novelty, whether the mantis catches it or not doesn't matter!"

  Xiao Yun shook his head, originally he had indeed intended to catch a few Nian insects for research, to see if he could learn from the insect music of Tongtian Village and improve his musical skills. However, now that he had obtained the Miao Yin bird, those things were completely useless to him.

  Ye Lan had told him that without the Tiankong Sect's insect refining method, finding more Ningshen would be pointless. So, Xiao Yun was no longer obsessed with it. He was just an outsider, and even if he helped the Tiankong Sect resolve this trouble, he could be considered a great benefactor of the sect. However, Ye Changqing and others probably wouldn't teach him the insect refining method, and besides, he couldn't bring himself to ask for it.

  "What a pity!"

  After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Little Tiger looked somewhat disappointed. In his opinion, Xiao Yun had finally gotten the chance to enter Lao Gui Lin, but only caught a small sparrow, which was indeed a pity.
