She looked up and saw a parrot perched on the old locust tree in the courtyard, which, though clearly a bird, appeared expressionlessly human as it stared at her.
The parrot raised one claw to its head.
With a clatter, another handful of ice cubes scattered, freezing the parrot onto the tree.
Clattering!
Like rain from the sky, countless birds fell, and dozens of cats and dogs approached both inside and outside Ciqing Palace.
They looked at Yang Qinglan and simultaneously reached for their heads.
Yang Qinglan tossed the "Fairy's Ruyi" in her hands. The Ruyi hovered in the air, and endless peach blossom petals fell, weaving through the hair of pigeons, cats, and dogs, drawing blood lines and severing their limbs.
Without limbs, lying in a line on the frozen ground, the eyes of these cats, dogs, and birds still watched Yang Qinglan.
