Chapter 1617 Prejudice
The ghost looked down at the grave that he had dug out and filled with his own hands.

Jiujiu will go to reincarnation
In other words, Jiujiu didn't completely disappear from this world, right?
The corners of the ghost's mouth slowly curled up.

A tiny arc.

A smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

It's good that Jiujiu is still here.

It doesn’t matter even if Jiujiu is not by its side.

"Wawa~wa."

Can I come here to see Chuchu later?

"of course."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"If you could come and see Jiujiu once in a while, Jiujiu would be happy too."

"But it was just a coincidence."

Xiao Xiao was worried that this monster would stay here permanently.

"Don't come to see Jiujiu too often."

"It will disturb Jiujiu's sleep."

The ghost subconsciously covered his mouth.

The sound is muffled.

"Wawa~wa~wawa~"

Jiujiu gets really fierce when he is woken up from his sleep.

The pecks on it are heavier.

After that incident, it learned its lesson and never dared to call Jiujiu while it was sleeping again.

So as to avoid being chased and pecked by the chirpers again.

"Ghost, it's very late."

Xiao Xiao squatted down and looked at the monster, "You should go back and rest."

"Come back here and look at it when you want to."

"Wawa~"

The ghost shook his head.

It wants to stay here for a while longer.

"Ok."

Xiao Xiao doesn't force the monster.

"Today is an exception. You can stay as long as you want."

"But, tomorrow, or in a few days, don't come here for the time being."

"Wait until you feel you can smile at Jiujiu before you come to see him, okay?"

"Wawa~"

The ghost nodded.

Lord Xiao Xiao helped it a lot.

It is very grateful to Lord Xiao Xiao.

It will listen to what Lord Xiao Xiao says.

"very good."

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

Then, "Wuliang ghost, it's time for me to leave."

He thought that the ghost also needed some time to be alone with Jiujiu.

His task has been completed.

Found Jiujiu.

But in the end, he was one step too late and failed to save Jiujiu.

He was very sorry for this result.

"Wawa~"

The ghost nodded.

It bent its head towards Xiao Xiao.

"Wawa~Wawa~"

Thank you, Lord Xiao Xiao.

If it weren’t for Lord Xiao Xiao, it wouldn’t even be able to see Jiujiu for the last time.

It felt very sad to think that Jiujiu would die alone.

Fortunately, it stayed with Jiujiu in the end.

Lord Xiao Xiao is also here.

There are so many fireflies.

So, when she left for the last time, Jiujiu was smiling.

Thinking of this, the melancholy in the ghost's heart dissipated a little.

As the smiling face appeared in its mind, the corners of its mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

"Goodbye, ghost."

There was a hint of smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

He didn't miss the way the monster's mouth turned up.

He thought that soon, the monster would get over the pain of losing his friend.

"Wawa~"

The ghost tilted his head.

goodbye?

"Yeah, it means see you next time."

Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "Wanglinggui, do you want to see me next time?"

"Wawa~"

The ghost nodded vigorously.

It wants to see Lord Xiao Xiao again.

"Wawa~Wawa~"

Goodbye, Lord Xiao Xiao.

Hearing that the monster emphasized the word "goodbye", Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile.

"See you."

Xiao Xiao stood up and walked towards Su Xun who was standing not far away.

"Master Xiao." Looking at Xiao Xiao who was gradually approaching, Su Xun knew that it was over.

His eyes passed Master Xiao and looked behind Master Xiao.

The dancing fireflies look like sparkling lights.

Compared to the previous times I saw them, these fireflies did not fly above the lake.

Nor did it fly around.

Instead, they gathered at a location near the lake.

He knew that that was the bird's grave.

He also knew that the monster should be there.

Although he can't see it.

He raised his eyes slightly.

The lake was quiet and the moon had disappeared behind the clouds.

The lake seems even darker and deeper.

Only the faint light of the fireflies illuminated the water surface, which was faintly visible.

It makes people suddenly realize.

The lake water is not black.

"Let's go back."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Ah."

Su Xun nodded.

After they were some distance away from the lake, Su Xun spoke to break the silence between the two.

"Master Xiao, the ghost"

He struggled with his words for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Is it okay?"

He couldn't quite imagine a monster feeling sad.

But just now, Master Xiao seemed to be comforting the monster.

So, he thought, maybe the monster was really sad?

Because my good friend left
The friendship between a monster and a bird.

In his opinion, it seems even more incomprehensible than the relationship between monsters and humans?

"It's going to be fine."

Xiao Xiao's answer undoubtedly explained Su Xun's guess.

The monster was indeed sad.

“It’s really sad.”

Su Xun murmured unconsciously.

I always feel that this has caused some changes in his understanding of monsters.

Of course, just a little bit.

After all, he had never seen the monster look sad.

I always feel like something is missing.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao tilted his head and unexpectedly found a firefly following him.

He held up his finger.

The fireflies landed on his fingertips.

"Youkai are actually very similar to humans."

“There’s a wide range of emotions as well.”

“They can be happy or sad.”

"They also have likes and dislikes."

"Of course, just like there are good and bad humans, there are good monsters and bad monsters."

“There are also monsters that are neither good nor bad.”

".Um."

Su Xun responded softly.

He knows the truth.

However, human emotions are sometimes not controlled by reason.

He always thought of himself as a rational person.

But when it comes to monsters, he already has prejudices.

Not a misunderstanding.

Misunderstandings are easy to resolve.

But prejudices die hard.

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and moved his fingers.

The fireflies flew into the air.

"Let's go back."

"Your companions will be worried."

"Thank you for giving us a ride."

"Goodbye."

The firefly flew around Xiao Xiao for a few circles, then turned around and flew back the way it came.

"You don't have to like monsters."

Xiao Xiao didn't mean to force Su Xun to change his mind.

After all, Su Xun's experience led to his current thoughts.

People who have not experienced that have no right to comment on Su Xun's understanding.

Just, "I hope you don't think that all monsters deserve to be hurt."

He thought of Jiang's junior fellow apprentice.

Master Zhou hated monsters to a great extent.

In his eyes, any monster should be eliminated.

He didn't know what Master Zhou had experienced.

Maybe it was a similar experience to Su Xun.

However, this is not a reason for him to attack innocent monsters.

Should all monsters be held responsible for the mistake of one monster?

Wouldn't it be the fault of one human being that affects all of humanity?
