Chapter 317 - Soft Heart (2/2)

Qiao Mu hastily picked up the green-headed eagle and stuffed it under her bed. She gently knocked its head twice. “Stay down and don’t move.”

After hiding the eagle, Qiao Mu stood back up and waved her hand, sprinkling some fine powder to eliminate the scent of blood from the room and leaving behind a faint fragrant scent.

Qiao Mu opened the door and saw the kitchen maid, Fat Sister, holding a cleaver and standing outside her door with Second Senior Sister, Xue Xiao.

“Miss Qiao, when you went to the kitchen to take your stew, did you see the super green eagle I left in the corner?” Fat Sister asked in her loud voice.

“No,” the little stoic answered expressionlessly.

Everyone had gotten used to this little fellow’s stoic face over the years, so Fat Sister merely nodded after hearing that.

The kitchen-maid angrily turned around with her cleaver. “Miss Xue, it looks like it escaped! I seriously didn’t think the eagle could still escape even though it injured its wing. I originally planned to pluck its feathers and then steam it to add a dish for everyone!”

Qiao Mu’s lips twitched silently, and she apathetically looked away, slightly lowering her head.

“Right?” Xue Xiao was also outraged. “Since that little beast dares to come to our sect and show off, it deserves to end up as our food! It got lucky! If I capture it tomorrow, I’ll definitely give it to you to be stewed, Fat Sister!”

Fat Sister heavily sighed with a wave of her cleaver and told Qiao Mu to head to dinner soon before following Xue Xiao and leaving.

“Every time I come to Miss Qiao’s court, it smells so good…”

Qiao Mu closed the door and looked back at the green-headed eagle that climbed out from under her bed. Her eyes were frosty without a lick of warmth. “Leave after your wing recovers.”
