It hadn't even finished speaking when Xuanwu interjected unhurriedly,
"Can you take human form yet?"
The moment he spoke, the Golden Crow fell silent.
Even its large, black petals wilted, losing much of their luster.
Xuanwu added,
"The Human Clan has a word: 'console.' Ever heard of it?"
The Golden Crow looked baffled.
"Is 'console' tasty?"
To be fair, it was already a great struggle for it just to speak basic sentences.
How could it possibly understand advanced vocabulary?
Xuanwu thought for a moment before explaining,
"'To console' means to lie. For instance, when Su Ye says you're the most powerful, that's her consoling you."
Standing a short distance away, Su Ye listened to Xuanwu's bizarre explanation.
'It sounds wrong, but... he kind of has a point.'
She started walking toward the pair, but before she could reach them, the Golden Crow's large, black petals drooped sadly. With a whimper, it plunged itself into the water.
Su Ye watched and sighed.
