In the following days, Lin Jing spent every day diligently refining The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon.
He hadnât left the house for several days.
It wasnât until this day, as he was refining The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon in his room, he heard the cry of âLittle Sparrowâ, which sounded like Little Sparrow had come.
Subsequently, Lin Jing stopped the refinement process, holding the jade pendant in his hand, he stood up, and walked outside.
When he opened the door, he didnât find Little Sparrow, and just as he was wonderinz, he suddenlv felt something under his foot.
Looking down, saw a large carp, over a foot long, flipping about beneath his feet, its mouth opening and closing.
It was still a live fish.
And on the back of the fish, there were several scratch marks, still oozing blood. Upon closer inspection, the marks seemed to have been made by Little Sparrow.
However, Little Sparrow was nowhere to be seen, and Lin Jing became puzzled.
But before longâ¦
A shadow flew in, fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it landed within Lin Jingâs courtyard. That shadow was Little Sparrow.
And in its beak, it held a strip of white silk.
Before Lin Jing could get a good look, Little Sparrow dropped the silk into his hands. The silk felt smooth and delicate to the touch, very comfortable.
Just as Lin Jing was about to unfold the silk to see what it was, Little Sparrow chirped, interrupting him.
âLittle Sparrowâ¦â
Lin Jing looked down to see Little Sparrow hopping around the large carp.
âDo you want me to cook this fish for you?
Little Sparrow first looked up at Lin Jing, then nodded.
Lin Jing then picked up the piece of silk he was holding.
âIs this your way of thanking me in advance for cooking the fish?â
âLittle Sparrowâ¦â
Little Sparrow chirped again and nodded vigorously.
It seemed that Little Sparrow did understand what Lin Jing had said the last time.
Lin Jing watched Little Sparrow with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
As long as Little Sparrow was obedient, it wouldnât interrupt his alchemy so easily in the future. Lin Jing couldnât help but smile contentedly.
Then, he unfolded the silk in his handsâ¦
Next, Lin Jingâs face turned green in an instant.
Thisâ¦
Was actually a piece of womenâs lingerie.
âLittle Sparrowâ¦â Lin Jing called out to Little Sparrow.
Little Sparrow lifted its head, tilting it as it looked at Lin Jing, a puzzled expression in its eyes.
Seeing Little Sparrow like this, Lin Jing realized he had made a mistake.
He really shouldnât overestimate Little Sparrowâs intelligence.
Ling Jing had asked it to exchange for some other item, and here it was, bringing a piece of lingerie, which even carried a faint fragrance, clearly indicating it had been worn.
âLittle Sparrow, where did you get this?â Lin Jing asked with a deadpan expression.
Little Sparrow extended a wing, pointing in a directionâthe very direction of Huang Qinglingâs yard.
Lin Jing immediately understood.
This Little Sparrowâ¦
Had actually stolen Huang Qinglingâs lingerie.
âQuick, take it back!â
Lin Jing hastily handed the silk lingerie back to Little Sparrow.
If Huang Qingling were to see her lingerie at his place, he would have a hard time explaining himself, even if he was in the right.
Little Sparrow didnât take it, instead tilting its head, looking at Lin Jing, its eyes full of confusion.
Lin Jing squatted down and said to Little Sparrow.
âThis wonât do, I told you to bring something else to exchange.â
Lin Jing set aside the lingerie for the moment, pulled out a few low-grade Spirit Grasses from the Storage Bag, held them in his hand, and showed them one by one to Little Sparrow.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing kept shaking The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon in front of Little Sparrow.
âLike this, and thisâ¦â
âYou used to live in the deep forests outside, arenât these things abundant in the forests outside?â
âFrom now on, if you want me to make you fish, remember to go to the forest outside Fang Market and find these things for me, then I will make it for you,â
âAnd, you canât steal from other peopleâs homes in Fang Market.â
âDo you understand?â Lin Jing looked at Little Sparrow and said.
âChirpâ¦â
Little Sparrow chirped, then moved forward and pecked at the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon that Lin Jing was holding.
Then, it flapped its wings and flew away.
This made Lin Jing feel a wave of inexplicable wonder, not understanding what it meant.
Not long after, Little Sparrow flew back, and in its beak, it held a jade pendant.
Little Sparrow flew in front of Lin Jing and let go, the jade pendant falling into Lin Jingâs hands.
The moment he saw the jade pendant, Lin Jing was stunned.
This jade pendant looked exactly like the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure
Moon that he held in his hand.
âCould it beâ¦â
âIs this the other half of the pendant the stall owner mentioned?â
Lin Jing couldnât help but grow curious.
At this moment, he didnât care about Little Sparrow anymore, Lin Jing kept turning the jade pendant that Little Sparrow brought him over and over, and then compared the two pendants together.
After careful observation, Lin Jing found that the two pendants were indeed identical, save for the different patterns on the back that seemed to fit together perfectly.
Curiosity piqued, Lin Jing took one pendant in each hand and brought the backs of the two pendants together.
Next, with a click, the two pendants fit together seamlessly.
At the same time, the pendants emitted a strong light and became extremely hot, scorching Lin Jingâs hands, making him quickly let go.
However, even though Lin Jing released his hands, the jade pendant continued to hover in mid-air.
At that moment, an angry voice echoed through the air.
âLittle Sparrowâ¦â
The owner of the voice was Huang Qingling.
Hearing this voice, Little Sparrow immediately panicked, flapping its wings twice and heading to the doorway, grabbing the big carp, intending to fly into the sky.
At the same time, a stunning figure was flying towards Lin Jingâs courtyard.
Seeing that there was no escape into the sky, Little Sparrow, holding the fish, hid inside Lin Jingâs room.
Lin Jing watched Little Sparrow and couldnât help but purse his lips. This Little Sparrow, probably sneaked out without Huang Qingling knowing.
âNow youâve been caught, havenât you?â
Lin Jing couldnât help but feel a bit of schadenfreude.
Watching Little Sparrow enter the house, Lin Jingâs eyes caught a glimpse of something white on the groundâ¦
face changed, and he instantly blurted out an expletive.
âFuckâ¦â
âI actually forgot about thisâ¦â
Startled, Lin Jing quickly rushed to the doorway and grabbed the white silk, throwing it into the Storage Bag.
But just as Lin Jing had put away Huang Qinglingâs undergarment, she had already descended from the air.
Luckily, her attention was caught by the glowing orb hovering in the air and she did not notice Lin Jingâs actions.
The light from the jade pendant grew more and more intense, completely enveloping the inner jade pendant, making it impossible to see clearly. âFellow Daoist Qing Ling,â Lin Jing stepped forward and called out.
Huang Qingling then snapped back to reality.
âLin Jing, what is this?â Huang Qingling asked, puzzled.
âItâs a long storyâ¦â Lin Jing said with a wry smile.
Huang Qinglingâs arrival reminded Lin Jing of something.
If he wasnât mistaken, the jade pendant Little Sparrow had brought might also belong to Huang Qingling.
The Little Sparrow, rather than stealing from outsiders, had turned into a thief within the household.
âNever mind, we can talk about it laterâ¦â Huang Qingling spoke up.
âLittle Sparrow, come outâ¦â âI know youâre inside, no use hiding..â
