What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"Then what do you mean by 'maybe' or 'maybe'?" Jiuge blinked, her big eyes filled with huge question marks.

She trusted Zhang Zhidong's judgment.

However, given the current situation, it's impossible to say that this little girl is completely unrelated to this incident.

"So you're going to be my mom?" Xiaoxiao asked, blinking her eyes.

“…” An Chen’s face darkened.

"No, no!" Jiuge quickly refused.

If these dangerous remarks were to come up a few more times, she worried that An Chen would simply swallow the entire place up with stones.

"That's right! So, Xiaoxiao, are you a parrot spirit?" Zhang Zhidong returned, soaking wet but full of energy.

"Hahahaha, I just discovered there are fish in the river too." He laughed heartily.

"boom."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhidong's question, the shocked knight accidentally let go of his grip.

The man in her arms fell to the ground with a "thud".

"Huchihuchi..."

Half of the black energy inside his body leaked out again.

"Yes, Daddy, I'm a cute little parrot who has cultivated into a spirit." Xiao Xiao was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Zhidong's wording.

She opened her arms, gesturing for Zhang Zhidong to pick her up again.

"That's right, so you're the culprit?" Zhang Zhidong smiled and picked Xiaoxiao up in his arms.

"No, Xiao Xiao's only function is to copy the soul and the things in the soul's memories." Xiao Xiao flicked the water stains off her clothes.

"Copy a soul?" Jiuge looked up at An Chen.

“…I don’t quite understand either, let’s see how she explains it.” As he spoke, An Chen turned his gaze back to Xiao Xiao.

"Does this 'copying' mean making an exact replica, or just a superficial copy?" he asked, squinting.

Fearing that Xiaoxiao might not understand, An Chen added, "Having only a superficial appearance means that it only looks like a spirit on the surface, but is actually nothing at all."

It's not some kind of reincarnation, nor is it about Li Tao making a body out of clay and then putting his soul inside.

If the stones in Gouzi Bay were meant to replicate real-life scenes and imprison people, then what they were hearing about now—the replication of souls—must be something entirely different.

After all, not all the imprisoned spirits in Gouzi Bay existed in a mosaic form.

And now, here, even cloned spirits can be indistinguishable from living people.

Although the buildings, mountains and rivers in the surrounding scene are arranged in a chaotic manner, the model is still quite detailed.

"Ugh... I can't explain it either. Xiao Xiao is just a pretty little parrot." Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and pursed her lips.

She only cares about copying, and she's not sure whether the copied product is anything at all.

“Not bad…” Zhang Zhidong was momentarily speechless.

To understand the situation, it is also very important to find a way to extract all the information from Xiao Xiao's mouth.

"It's like the images on TV; the real people are in reality, and the TV screen is just a projection," he tried to give Xiaoxiao an example.

"Hmm...not too much?" Xiao Xiao tilted her head, seemingly pondering the difference between the two.

"Or it could be that the people on the TV screen and the people in real life are the same in every way except for where they live. They can live a real life on TV and they can live a real life off TV." Zhang Zhidong tried hard to make his words clear.

"We are still working on making everyone's lives more authentic." Xiao Xiao did not deny Zhang Zhidong's statement.

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

The amount of information suddenly became astonishing.

The man who had fallen to the ground suddenly got up, emitting black smoke and seemingly lost in thought, and rushed into the hotel behind him.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

The sound of breaking glass could be heard.

"..." Everyone stared silently at the hotel door with a large hole smashed in it.

And the man who, after falling on the broken glass, immediately got up and rushed back into the hotel.

After the man went inside... there were still large patches of blood on the glass.

“…” Zhang Zhidong kept turning his head back, seemingly hesitating whether the police needed to intervene in this situation.

"Ouch, that hurts..." The knight was also poised to pounce.

"Alas..." Jiuge suddenly covered her eyes.

It's too bloody, it hurts to look at, I can't bear to look.

"Who is the culprit who made them disappear?" After a pause, An Chen sorted through the astonishing amount of information and asked the question again.

"Xiao Xiao just saw that their souls were about to leave, so she kindly copied them for them." Xiao Xiao shook her head, giving an irrelevant answer.

"You're a dead parrot, aren't you?" The knight's attention returned, and he scratched Little's head.

"Bang bang bang."

"Bang bang bang."

Because he was wearing armor, the water that had been on him when he lifted the man from the water in a princess carry was no longer there.

"Are you being polite? I'm a dead parrot." Little One stuck out her tongue and mouthed the words "tuituitui".

"I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking and offended you..." the knight quickly apologized.

“That’s right, so… the culprits are your parents?” Zhang Zhidong made a bold assumption.

In his eyes, the little one in his arms was harmless, both in appearance and in nature, and this judgment could not be wrong.

Based on Zhang Zhidong's intuition, even if Xiao Xiao did something wrong without knowing it, he could still sense it.

Right now, Xiao Xiaozhen is as white as a little white rabbit, without a single blemish.

"No, at first I just copied the souls of my poor parents." Xiao Xiao shook her head like a rattle-drum.

Because of the sudden movement, her colorful twin ponytails hit Zhang Zhidong hard in the chest.

“Not bad.” Zhang Zhidong remained unmoved.

"Copying the souls of parents...in the very beginning..." The knight pondered the meaning behind the little words.

"...The parrot feathers are of really good quality." Jiuge couldn't help but step forward and touch the little braid.

Silky smooth and silky, with exceptional hair quality!

She couldn't understand why Xiaoxiao's double ponytail hair color was like that.

Jiuge suddenly realized.

"Poor parents?" An Chen seized on the blind spot.

"What happened to your parents?" he asked hastily.

"My parents..." Xiao Xiao patted Jiu Ge's hand, which was playing with her hair, down with her little hand.

She lowered her head and sniffled, "Our family has always lived on this mountain... A long, long time ago, when two factions from China fought together against foreign enemies, they fought their way here. My parents were already very powerful parrot spirits back then, capable of transforming into human form..."

"...An external enemy?" Jiuge thought of the bloody scene she had seen in the Gouzi Bay illusion.

"Yes, back then, my parents transformed into human form to help everyone find food and risked their lives to help everyone fight off foreign enemies," Xiao Xiao recalled.

At that time, Xiao Xiao was still a little parrot that couldn't transform into human form.

Her parents, after their home was destroyed by outsiders, resolutely transformed into human form, disguised themselves as familiar humans, and lived in harmony with the soldiers for many days.

For Yu Xiaoxiao, it was a novel period.

For the first time, she realized that there are many kind people among humanity.

For the parents of the young child, those were unforgettable days.

It was winter then, and the Chinese soldiers worked together to resist the foreign enemy.

They fought from morning until dusk, and at night they had no choice but to take refuge in the Man-Eating Mountain.

Because of the cold weather, everyone could only huddle together for warmth.

Because of the lack of food, everyone could only eat a few bites of wild vegetables each day.

Occasionally, a few sweet potatoes or a little porridge would be considered a feast.

Although their lives deteriorated drastically in every aspect after they took human form and spent time with the Chinese soldiers, their little parents didn't care.

They told Xiaoxiao that only with peace could they have a beautiful home; if war continued, their fellow human beings would also suffer.

Since they have cultivated themselves into spirits, they should naturally do their part for their dwelling.

Furthermore, it's good to get used to human life in advance.

At the same time, Xiaoxiao's parents also told her to hide well and not to fly out, lest she be caught and eaten by the soldiers whose stomachs were growling with hunger.

Another week has passed quickly.

Finally, one day, enemy shells came flying over.

In this sneak attack, the Chinese army suffered some minor injuries, but Xiao Xiao, who was obediently hiding in the tree hole and starving, died on the spot.

Chapter 221 The Main Story Begins (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

“I died on the spot, blown to smithereens… My parents, sensing my death, stubbornly reverted to their original forms, still wanting to save me, but I was already dead. If I was already dead… what was the point?”

She curled her twin ponytails and waved her short little fingers in the air.

That last sentence seemed to be directed at her parents, but also at herself.

"..." Upon hearing Xiao Xiao's words, everyone's expressions became serious.
