"Maidservant? *You're* the maidservant!" Xie Ning grabbed the bird's neck and gave it a sharp twist. "Speak. Who are you?"
"Spare me, Emperor! Spare me, Emperor! This slave knows his mistake."
Everyone: "..."
"This is what you get for watching palace intrigue dramas all day, you stupid bird." Xie Ning thumped it on its head. "Tell me, if I let go now, would you dare run?"
"This slave wouldn't dare! This slave wouldn't dare!"
Xu Yu stared at the scene, dumbfounded, almost thinking she was hallucinating.
The Mutated Bird had gone from being wildly cool and domineering to a groveling slave in a matter of seconds.
It was just too ridiculous.
Xie Ning calmly let go, her eyes smiling as she looked at the frozen figures of Lin Yiyi, Xu Yu, and the others. "My apologies, Miss Xu, but this damn bird has already acknowledged a master."
She unhurriedly took a clothes-drying pole out of her Space and gestured for the parrot to stand on it.
