Shen Ningning looked at it, confused. "A lot like me? What does that mean? Are you talking about appearances?"
'Could it be that Mother fed it before?'
Hei Diao snorted. "Not appearances, but ability. You were able to find me because you're good at communicating with animals. The food you people give has special abilities. I learned to speak human language precisely because I ate what *he* gave me."
Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei were both stunned.
'There's a second person here with the same ability as Shen Ningning?'
"Who is he? What's his name? Where is he?" Shen Ningning fired off a series of questions, but Hei Diao was unwilling to say more.
It folded its wings. "I can't help you. Tianshan Mountain is crawling with guards armed with crossbows right now. You'd better find someone more capable. And stop bothering my second aunt."
As it spoke, it glanced toward the window. From the looks of it, it was preparing to fly away.
