Chapter 1401 Grandpa's Phone Call

“Woooooooooooo…”

Taotie jumped onto the fence in front of Xiao Xiao and stretched out his claws, looking quite righteous.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Because the compensation given to it was shared among other monsters, this Taotie asked for additional compensation?

A faint smile appeared in his eyes. "Little Taotie, one of the boxes was originally bought for them by me."

"Everything I bought for you went into your stomach."

Taotie was stunned for a moment, then...

Xiao Xiao twitched his eyebrows, and looked at the Taotie rolling around in front of him, quite speechless.

Why did he feel that the monster had become smaller and even its temperament had changed?
But he also didn't know what Taotie looked like before being sealed.

I always hear this monster talk about how majestic and domineering he used to be...

He felt that a certain monster probably lacked a clear understanding of itself.

"All right."

He rubbed his temple with his hand and said, "Let's go to the cake shop on the way back."

"Woo~"

Taotie immediately stood up and squatted on the fence, looking well-behaved.

Xiao Xiao shook his head with amusement, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Let's go."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a weight on his head, and Taotie had already lay back on top of his head.

Xiao Xiao:.
"Little glutton."

Xiao Xiao's voice was gentle, even a little soft.

However, Taotie shuddered all over, and his body, which was about to lie down, froze.

“…Woo~”

Taotie made some sounds carefully.

"Are your paws clean?"

Xiao Xiao spat out word by word, his face turning a little dark.

When he thought about a certain monster that had just been jumping around on the ground, and now it was back on his head...

He even wanted to stew this monster.

"Woo..."

Taotie couldn't help but smile guiltily.

It looked at its paws.

It's just pitch black and you can't tell whether it's dirty or not?
So, probably, should... it's not dirty, right?

……

Xiao Xiao lifted Taotie down from his head.

Knowing that Xiao Xiao was angry, Taotie cooperated very well and didn't move, allowing Xiao Xiao to wipe its four paws over and over again with a tissue.

With the corners of his mouth stretched out, Taotie showed a slightly flattering smile on his face.

Xiao Xiao: ...

He twitched the corners of his mouth.

Forget it, it's already been stepped on. Unless time can be turned back, there's still a way to save it. Nothing we do now can help.

He brought Taotie in front of him, his eyebrows slightly curved, but a cold breath was revealed, "Little Taotie, I will not make an example next time."

"Woo~"

Taotie nodded vigorously, his mouth grinning even wider.

……

This silly smile.

Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to watch and looked away.

He patted his hair and put Taotie back on his head.

……

"...wuwu..."

After a moment of silence, Taotie asked cautiously when he saw Xiao Xiao walking out of the building.

Is there any compensation for it?
Xiao Xiao: ...

He finally smiled helplessly, "Yes."

“One thing leads to another.”

"The compensation is what I promised you before."

"I won't miss you."

"Ouch-"

"Woo~"

Taotie lowered his voice and let out a restrained cheer.

A hint of smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

……

The next day, Xiao Xiao received a call from Grandpa Xiao.

There's something strange about him.

"grandfather?"

"Xiaoxiao, did you buy the chess manual?"

The old man's angry voice came.

"bought."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Didn’t he say before that there was no rush?

"Grandpa, if you want to see it, I-"

"no, I'm fine."

The old man hastily denied it, but he was a little agitated and abnormal, "No need to send it back!"

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, "Grandpa, what happened?"

"Nothing." The old man seemed to know that his attitude just now had given him away, so he didn't deny it too firmly. "Just don't go back to the teahouse for a while."

"Saves the trouble of coming to the door."

The old man lowered his voice for the last sentence and just muttered it to himself.

Xiao Xiao heard it clearly.

Trouble at your door?

What trouble is this?
"grandfather."

Xiao Xiao raised his tone a little.

".Why."

The old man was silent for a while, then he sighed, "I still can't hide it from you."

"My grandson is just smart."

The old man became proud again.

"It's true that my grandson is smart."

"But it's also true that you're stupid."

"It only took two sentences to expose his true identity."

"grandmother."

Xiao Xiao shouted.

Then I heard a mixture of Grandpa Xiao's angry rebuttal and Grandma's cheerful response.

"What are you talking about, old woman?"

"Hey, I'm grandma."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

At this time, the other end of the phone was obviously quite lively.

"Did I said wrong thing?"

"You old woman."

"You old man."

Xiao Xiao:.
There was a look of helplessness on his face.

"grandparents."

"Hey."

Grandpa Xiao's voice became clear again, "Yes, yes."

"Ignore your grandma."

"Why is she joining in the fun when I call my grandson?"

"eventful."

Xiao Xiao heard Xiao's grandmother's complaints again.

“That’s my grandson too.”

"Do you mind me talking to my grandson?"

"You old woman."

Grandpa Xiao was a little speechless.

Then he said a few words to Xiao Xiao in a hurry, "Xiao Xiao, let's leave it at that for now."

"I'm hanging up."

"Then I'll be back this afternoon."

Grandpa Xiao's finger, which was about to hang up the phone, paused.

Then he smiled bitterly, "You kid, you even know how to threaten your grandfather."

"Grandpa was the first to change the subject."

Xiao Xiao does not recognize the "conviction" made by Grandpa Xiao.

"well."

The old man shook his head. “It’s my fault.”

"grandfather."

Xiao Xiao didn't give the old man a chance to talk about other things, and went straight to the point, "What happened?"

"Since you specifically called me to ask me not to go home"

"Does this matter have anything to do with me?"

Xiao Xiao guessed, "Is someone looking for me?"

The only sound on the other end of the line was the old man's breathing.

After a while, the old man finally spoke with a bitter smile, "You are so smart, kid."

"Okay, I won't hide it from you."

The old man gave up his original plan.

There's no way, this can't be concealed.

"It's actually not a big deal."

To avoid worrying his grandson, the old man emphasized this point first, "It's true that I am a little annoyed."

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao responded without saying anything else and listened quietly to the old man's narration.

"Speaking of this, it's still that old wood's fault."

"Grandpa Mu?"

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but speak out.

He was a little surprised. Was this matter related to Grandpa Mu?
He became even more curious about what Grandpa Xiao would say next.

"It's not that old wood."

Grandpa Xiao was quite angry, "You are so careless with your words."

"It has been known that you helped Xiaomu solve a big problem."

“Still a troublesome person.”
