These days, among the yakshas of Liyue, Xiao is the only one left alive.
Until Xiao found an egg.
A yaksha egg.
Xiao: ...
Where did this come from?
He kept the yaksha egg with him day and night. Before long, it hatched.
A fluffy sparrow chick emerged from the egg and looked at Xiao with bright black eyes. Affectionately, it rubbed its downy head against his hand.
From then on, Xiao's days were filled with looking after the little sparrow:
He fed it millet and water, groomed its wings, and took it outside to bask in the sun...
When the little sparrow finally learned to take human form and turned into an adorable baby, he named her Jiujiu, took her shopping for clothes, and braided her hair.
After Jiujiu finally learned to talk, she clutched Xiao's sleeve and asked in her babyish voice, "Are you my mommy?"
Xiao: ...
So this is how it all ends.
