"You, the little master, saved you. Do not make a noise anymore. We will free you if you want. But with your bandaged wing, I doubt you can fly." She heard someone spoke this with disdain and clear annoyance. 

The crow's head tilted and looked at where it came from. She then noticed a very small black kitten that was not even as big as her palm was sitting at the lad's shoulder. 

"What you wanted to fight?" The kitten said challenging. 

"Hai Hai, be good to our guest." 

When the lad said that to the kitten, his tone was reprimanding but soft, his hand then reached out to the kitten and caressed its tiny head gently that made it purr. 

If the kitten could talk even with its young age, it only means that it was a beast from a pure divine bloodline. She would not have a chance to get away if there was a beast like this watching over the crow. 

The lad continued to caress the black kitten, even when he was looking at the crow with curiously. 

'Why is he looking at me like that?' She said inside her head but just managed to get out 'crew crew' from the crow. 

The kitten hissed, "Ungrateful! The little master saved you! If not for him taking pity on a regular crow, you are already dead by not! If he wants to look at you, he can!" It said unhappily. 

She was startled and asked, using the crow's sound, 'You can understand me?' Her tone sound so surprised and astonished. 

"Of course! I can understand any beast! This is something so simple! I can even do it with my eyes closed!" The black kitten, Hai Hai, said with arrogance. 

"I will also understand you in the future." The lad replied said with a smile. He seemed to have guessed the conversation. "Hai Hai is right. We saved you. Your right wing is injured and still healing. If you want to stay here until you fully recover, it is fine, but you need to be silent because my master doesn't like to be bothered. Do you understand that?" He asked casually. 

'How long will I need to stay here?' She asked. 

"The crow asked how long it needs to stay here, little master." Hai Hai interpreted. 

"Do you really want to leave so soon? Nod your head once if your answer is yes, twice if no." The lad stated, instead. 

She commanded the crow to nod its head once, and it did. 

The lad hummed thoughtfully, "I will see if I can get a low-grade pill for you so you can leave sooner. Just make sure you won't make any loud noise, okay?" 

The crow nod once again, before it made a soft sound. 'I want out of the cage. Please let me out of it.' After that, it tapped on the golden cage, indicating what it means. 

"You want out?" The lad asked, "You can, but Hai Hai will watch over you, okay?" 

"Eh? I will baby sit it?" Hai Hai asked unhappily. 

Without waiting for responding to the kitten, he just pulled out a key from his pocket and used it to unlock and open the cage. He then raised his arm in front of the open cage, indicating for the crow to jump on it. 

The crow did jump on his arm. He then walked towards the open window and allowed the crow to jump on the edge. At this time, the kitten was already sitting on top of the table watching the crow's every move. 

"Be good, both of you. I need to leave and soak to the herb bath again." He said bitterly. 

When he said that, she then realized that the lad smells strange. There was also a smell of iron coming off him. 

"Hai Hai, don't bite it, or I won't feed you for days." He added as he walked towards the stone door of his room. 

The crow just tilted its head as he looked at the lad, leaving the room. 

Hai Hai snorted, "Why are you looking at little master like that? Staring is rude, even if he was very handsome. Little master was kind, but I am not. You did not even say thank you to him. So ungrateful." He said, full of disdain towards the crow. 

With that being said, she suddenly remembered that she really had not said thank you to the young lad, so she did not take offense. She just noted to do it later, once the lad got back. 

She thought that since the kitten was from a superior bloodline race, it was always proud and arrogant to any beast it meets. 

However, this att.i.tude of the black kitten was not always the case. In reality, the kitten's instinct was telling it that this regular looking crow was not something it could match. That confuses it and aggrieves it making the kitten more hostile to the crow than the usual. 

"See the little master, even wanted to give you a precious pill that even other cultivators only dream of." Hai Hai added. 

 'You keep calling him little master, but he does not look like someone special.' The crow said instead of talking about the pill. When she was younger, the generals call her little Miss with respect. They once mention to her that someone cable and from a n.o.ble family will be called Little Miss or Little Lady and for her, he don't look like one at all.
