Chapter 143 - You Must Have Suffered a Lot!
“What a cute little bird~!”
Seeing the small, cute cockatiel with its cheek patches voluntarily land on her shoulder, An Yao's eyes instantly lit up.
It's so cute. It must be Her Majesty's pet.
The cockatiel turned its head, its small, round eyes showing contempt.
Just two short words, and An Yao froze, blinking her eyes blankly, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. The source of this content ɪs novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Did I just mishear? Did this bird just talk? And did it just curse at me?!
How could such a cute little bird say such filthy things!
Seeing An Yao's shocked and dazed expression, Lin Fan secretly snickered, an 'I-knew-it' look on his face.
Up to this point, everyone who had come to his home, no matter who they were, had without exception been 'cordially greeted' by this stupid bird. It was basically a mandatory rite of passage upon entering the apartment.
“What a nasty-mouthed bird…”
An Yao came back to her senses and couldn't help but blurt out.
Hearing An Yao's words, not only were Lin Fan and Long Yue not the least bit angry, but they both shot her an approving look in unison and secretly gave her a thumbs-up.
That's how a normal person should react!
Unlike Meizhi and the other three, who, after being cursed at, just kept praising this hateful, stupid bird!
Unlike Lin Fan and Long Yue, Meizhi, at the side, frowned upon hearing her words and commanded sharply:
“Ignorant member of the Immortal Race, you are not to insult this bird! It is the noble Bird of the Demon Sovereign! Its status is even above that of us Four Demon Generals!”
As he spoke, the cockatiel flapped its wings from An Yao's shoulder and landed on Meizhi's. As if understanding his words, it haughtily lifted its little head.
“Meizhi, if you could, please don't use the term 'Bird of the Demon Sovereign' next time…”
Lin Fan interjected helplessly. Every time he heard Meizhi say 'Bird of the Demon Sovereign,' he just felt weird...
And besides, this stupid bird doesn't hold such a high status in my heart, okay!
The only reason he hadn't stewed it was because he looked down on the paltry bit of lean meat on its bones. Otherwise, he would have made soup out of it long ago.
“Ew! So this bird is the Demon Sovereign's.”
“No wonder its personality is so nasty!”
Learning that the cockatiel was Lin Fan's, An Yao's attitude did a complete 180. The previous fondness on her face was gone, replaced by a look of utter disgust.
With Her Majesty's noble character, any pet by her side should be well-behaved and cute!
And this bird's mouth is so vicious—as expected, it's because it's been around the Demon Sovereign!
Lin Fan shot An Yao an irritated look.
“This One doesn't like hearing that. This stupid bird was adopted from a friend by This One and Yue'er. Its foul mouth is entirely because of its owner-before-last; it has nothing to do with This One!”
“Please stop trying to pin every bad thing on This One, okay.”
An Yao gave him a look full of doubt and questioned him in a passive-aggressive tone.
“Hmph, ignorant member of the Immortal Race!”
Meizhi snorted coldly. “This bird's personality is not 'nasty'; it has inherited Lord Demon Sovereign's mighty spirit! It highlights the domineering aura of our Demon Race!”
As he spoke, Meizhi turned to look at the cockatiel on his shoulder, his eyes full of respect and pride.
Lin Fan was helpless.
He had just managed to explain things clearly, and with one sentence, Meizhi had made it so that he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Doesn't this just make it seem like I personally raised this bird to be this way...
“Meizhi, it's about time for you to go to work…”
“Thank you for the reminder, Lord Demon Sovereign. Then this subordinate will head to work now.”
Meizhi looked up at the clock on the wall and respectfully placed the cockatiel from his shoulder onto the table.
Lin Fan nodded lightly and added an extra reminder before he left:
“Don't forget what This One instructed you.”
“Yes, Lord Demon Sovereign!”
Meizhi understood tacitly, nodded to accept the order, and then left the apartment.
“Your Majesty, what does he mean by 'going to work'? Don't tell me the Demon Race has some kind of scheme in this world?”
Watching Meizhi leave, An Yao leaned in close to Long Yue and asked curiously in a whisper.
She had heard Meizhi and the others mention "work" last night, and now seeing him leave in the name of "work," she couldn't help but feel suspicious and worried.
This band of demons... they aren't planning to try and conquer this world, are they?!
Seeing An Yao's worried expression, Long Yue explained with a light laugh:
“Don't worry. They're simply going to work to earn money.”
“In the mortal world, you need money for many things. Only by working to earn money can one cover all sorts of daily expenses.”
“It's not just them. This Empress has also found a job in this world.”
Hearing this, An Yao was shocked.
“Ah, Your Majesty, you're also working to earn money?”
“Mmm, that's right. And This Empress earns quite a lot each month~”
Long Yue proudly lifted her snow-white neck, her expression triumphant and proud.
Her streaming career was now flourishing. Her number of followers had reached a staggering 1.5 million. Every day, the moment she went live, at least a hundred thousand fans would be watching. And she had achieved all this in less than four months.
According to Lin Fan, to be able to accumulate such a huge number of fans in such a short time was an incredible achievement in the streaming industry!
While Long Yue was immersed in her pride, An Yao, however, dejectedly lowered her head.
To think that Her Majesty has been reduced to needing to work for money in this world. No wonder she had to haggle with those mortals when buying groceries just now…
During the time I wasn't by her side, Her Majesty must have lived such a destitute life!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start crying.
“Your Majesty, you must have suffered a lot!”
An Yao's sudden sympathy left Long Yue completely baffled and at a loss.
Although it was true that she had suffered a little at the beginning due to her unfamiliarity with this world, after gradually getting used to it, she had rich meals every day, plus fruits, cakes, and snacks.
When she had nothing to do, she would stream and chat with her fans, play games, and scroll on her phone to binge dramas. It hadn't really been that bitter…
“It's actually been fine. This Empress's job is quite relaxed, you don't need to worry.”
Hearing this, An Yao's heart felt a little better. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked curiously:
“Your Majesty, then what is your job here?”
Long Yue gave a mysterious, triumphant smile and said:
