356: The dried up Nitaimei was burned again

Not long after, Xin Mulan also arrived here.

Wang Han looked at Xin Mulan, who had also come to her courtyard tonight. Was she also looking for Old Qin?

What heinous crime did Old Qin commit tonight that Xin Mulan was chasing him so relentlessly?

It seemed tonight I ate Ni Tai Mei but missed out on the gossip!

Xin Mulan looked at Wang Han in confusion, then asked, "Han Jie, what are you doing here? Where is Wang Cao?"

She had searched everywhere but couldn't find any trace of Old Qin. She didn't expect Old Qin to be as good at hiding as Jerry.

Finding nothing, she wanted to ask Wang Cao about the situation. When her Mental Energy sensed Wang Cao was with Wang Han, she immediately rushed over.

She didn't expect to be a step late; Wang Cao seemed to have left.

Wang Han's lips curved into an alluring smile, her eyes full of teasing as she explained, "He just left not long ago. Why? Are you two...?"

Xin Mulan was a bit helpless, thinking to herself that Wang Cao really ran fast. She hadn't even had time to ask him about Old Qin before he left.

However, since he had already left, she could only wait until she saw him next time to ask.

Thinking of this, Xin Mulan turned to look at Wang Han and said, "Nothing, just something I wanted to ask him."

She paused, then said exasperatedly, "I don't know if he found Old Qin or not. Old Qin is really too good at hiding; he's infuriating me!"

Wang Han looked at Xin Mulan but said nothing.

Seeing that neither Wang Cao nor Old Qin were here, Xin Mulan prepared to leave.

However, just as she turned around, she looked at Wang Han's courtyard and, remembering how long she had been searching, couldn't help but feel a bit thirsty.

So, she said to Wang Han, "Han Jie, I'm a bit thirsty."

After speaking, she walked towards Wang Han's room.

When Xin Mulan pushed open the door, she suddenly froze.

Wang Han's heart tightened, and she muttered to herself, "Oh no, Ni Tai Mei..."

Just as Wang Han was worrying, Xin Mulan turned around and pouted, complaining, "Han Jie, how can you secretly bring a chicken back to eat? I didn't even get enough."

Wang Han heard this and was immediately bewildered.

Several question marks appeared above her head: "????!!"

What did she mean? Chicken? Eat? Not enough to eat?

She understood these words individually, but combined, they made no sense.

Moreover, she hadn't brought a chicken back; she had only brought Ni Tai Mei back to wash him!

Ni Tai Mei??

Suddenly, Wang Han remembered Ni Tai Mei's true form. She looked at Xin Mulan with a slight blush, thinking, 'Did she mean Ni Tai Mei when she said I secretly brought a chicken back to eat?!'

But... Ni Tai Mei was still in human form before she came out!

Could it be?

Just as Wang Han walked into the room to check on Ni Tai Mei, Xin Mulan, who had already drunk water, walked out holding a chicken by one leg, looking displeased.

"Here, Han Jie, why are you eating alone? Let's go to the front hall and get some seasonings to prepare it. This chicken is so plump; it'll be delicious brushed with oil and sprinkled with spices."

Wang Han: "..."

The unconscious Ni Tai Mei: "..."

Seeing Ni Tai Mei in front of her, Wang Han finally understood. It seemed she had squeezed Ni Tai Mei too hard, causing him to lose even the Spiritual Qi needed to maintain his human form.

But how was she supposed to say that this was Ni Tai Mei and not a chicken?

Waiting online, urgent...

Seeing Xin Mulan happily carrying Ni Tai Mei away, Wang Han quickly grabbed the other chicken leg.

She said awkwardly, "Mulan, this... this chicken is a bit special. You... you can't eat it."

Xin Mulan: "What? How can a chicken I'm about to eat not be eaten? It's just not plucked, it's a matter of a single flame, how simple."

After speaking, a small flame appeared on Xin Mulan's fingertip, about to be thrown onto Ni Tai Mei's feathers.

Wang Han: "Don't..."

Even though Wang Han quickly cast a spell to extinguish the small flame, half of Ni Tai Mei's backside, that circle of feathers, was still burned clean.

Is a plucked chicken still a chicken?

Xin Mulan really didn't understand Wang Han's confusing actions. Could it be that she had grown fond of the chicken she brought home?

"Han Jie, what are you doing? It's a good thing I didn't use Phoenix Power flames just now, otherwise you would have been scalded by the fire."

Wang Han was on the verge of tears. With just an ordinary flame, Ni Tai Mei's backside was already bald.

If it had been Phoenix Power flames, he could have been eaten directly.

"Wait, you'll see what's going on."

After saying that, she placed Ni Tai Mei on the ground and then channeled Spiritual Energy into him.

Xin Mulan: "Jie, you haven't fallen in love with a chicken, have you? You're even channeling Spiritual Energy into it. Are you going to make the chicken talk?"

Wang Han said nothing. Not long after, a sharp scream echoed through the courtyard.

Xin Mulan stared blankly as the chicken in front of her ran around covering its backside with its wings. The key was, the chicken spoke.

"Cluck cluck cluck~"

"It hurts, it hurts~"

"Who the heck touched my feathers, my lifelong enemy!"

As he scurried around, he gradually transformed into human form, while Wang Han, with foresight, took out a quilt and threw it over Ni Tai Mei.

Xin Mulan: "Ni Tai Mei??"

Ni Tai Mei, completely naked except for a bedsheet: "Mulan Jie?"

Wang Han: Luckily, the various Xuanhuan novels I read before came in handy now. If a chicken loses its feathers, wouldn't it be bald?

Xin Mulan: "Ni Tai Mei, how did you turn into a chicken?"

Ni Tai Mei cried, "Mulan Jie, is there a possibility that my true form is just a chicken?"

Xin Mulan: "So, the purpose of you turning into a chicken is to experience being eaten by someone?"

Ni Tai Mei: "No, I don't want to."

Xin Mulan: "Then you..."

Ni Tai Mei: "I don't want to either! Who knew that when I woke up, not only did I turn into my true form, but someone also burned off my proud feathers? They're gone, bald, ruined..."

Xin Mulan: "Ah, this..."

Wang Han: "Why don't we go back to the room first? If you two keep talking, everyone will come to gossip."

Ni Tai Mei: "Mm-hmm, such an embarrassing thing shouldn't be known by too many people."

Xin Mulan awkwardly watched the scene unfolding before her, her eyes darting around, clearly indicating she wanted to slip away.

So she chuckled and said, "I generally know what happened. I have things to do, so I'll leave first. Bye-bye."

After speaking, she immediately disappeared by Underground (escaping underground) with a guilty conscience.

Ni Tai Mei: "Why do I feel like Mulan Jie has something on her mind? So strange!"

Wang Han: "Let's go, back to the room first."

Ni Tai Mei looked at Wang Han's face, and his thoughts gradually returned.

His face was flushed, and then, like a little daughter-in-law, he followed Wang Han's steps, draped in the bedsheet.

However, after a few steps, he murmured to himself, full of doubt, "Strange, why do I feel completely drained of strength? Does sleeping cost so much vitality?"
