Chapter 1661: Magical creatures? Monsters!
"how-"

The young man was about to deny it right after he finished making this guess, but he heard words of affirmation in his ears.

"Yes."

The young man was stunned.

Yes?

What is it?
It’s him…The owner of the stone is not human?

Or...how could the owner of the stone not be human?

The young man shook his head.

Why is he so confused?

"It's not human."

Xiao Xiao looked at the young man's eyes which were getting wider and wider and his words were clearly pronounced.

".Huh?"

The young man made a somewhat strange sound.

"Cough cough~"

He touched his throat.

"Not human?"

He repeated Xiao Xiao's words.

It sounds like talking to oneself, or like a rhetorical question.

".What is it then?"

If it's not human, then what is it?
Apart from humans, what other creature could cause him to be so mentally weakened?
Apart from humans, what other creatures are so smart?
Knowing that he had picked up its stone and chased it all the way, why was it so persistent in asking him to return the stone?
In addition to humans
he does not know.

Are there any other creatures in the world besides humans that can do this?

Is he ignorant?
"Magical creatures."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.

".ha?"

The young man looked confused and puzzled.

Magical creatures?

What kind of creature is this?
Is this person just trying to be perfunctory with him?

"Xiaoxiao."

Mother Xiao shook her head with a hint of amusement.

"Xiao Kong is asking you seriously."

“I am answering seriously.”

There was an innocent look on Xiao Xiao's face.

"You."

The smile in Xiao's mother's eyes deepened a little.

She looked at the young man and said, "Xiao Kong, since the problem is almost solved, I will leave first."

"It's not good to keep the elderly busy all the time."

Seeing the young man hesitate to speak, Xiao's mother smiled and said, "Don't worry."

"Xiaoxiao is a very reliable kid."

"Just trust him."

The young man stammered a few times, and finally smiled, "Yeah."

"Boss lady, thank you for taking care of me."

"Sorry to waste your time."

"Thank you."

"What a polite child."

Mother Xiao's eyes and eyebrows were gentle.

Xiao's mother left.

The young man looked at Xiao Xiao.

He looked like he didn't know how to start.

As time passed, the young man's expression became somewhat embarrassed.

"monster."

Xiao Xiao's words made the young man feel relieved.

But before he could completely exhale, he felt choked.

"."

Monster?!

The young man opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Did he hear it correctly?

He rubbed his ears.

Could it be that my ears have been "damaged" a lot in the past few days, so there are some problems?
Otherwise, how could he hear these two mysterious words?

monster?
Haha.

He should find it funny.

In the end, he just laughed dryly.

It's strange, at this time it should be the person who said the word "monster" who should feel uncomfortable.

Why is he feeling a little restless now?
".Are you serious?"

After a moment's silence, the young man asked.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "Really."

"妴胡~妴胡~"

The monster looked at the two humans in front of him and felt a little anxious.

Didn’t you just say you wanted to go back and get the stone?

Why are we chatting here again?
The monster was somewhat dissatisfied.

We can talk on the way. Can't they just leave first?
……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"understood."

"what?"

Xiao Xiao's inexplicable words startled the young man, "What do you know?"

"The owner of the stone is urging us."

Xiao Xiao glanced at the monster standing still and took a step forward. "If you have any questions, we can talk about it on the way."

"Ah, oh."

The young man nodded blankly.

Then it dawned on him.

No questions matter now.

The important thing was to return the stone to the other person, and then he could get rid of the constant noise in his ears for some time.

Now that this problem has been solved, those so-called doubts are actually no longer any doubts.

All he needed was acceptance.

Accept the fact that monsters are real.

Accept the fact that he picked up the monster's stone and was entangled by the monster...

Ha ha.

He didn't know if it was because he was feeling dizzy, but he felt like he was walking on cotton and it was like he was dreaming.

When I was a kid, I believed in heroes and monsters.

Looking forward to seeing them one day.

As we grow older, these beliefs and expectations naturally disappear.

Where are the monsters in the world?

There were heroes, but they were not the kind of heroes he saw in comics who could fly and hide.

Unexpectedly, after growing up, graduating and working, he encountered... a monster?
Although it is a youkai and not a monster...

But that's about it.

In a sense, has he fulfilled his childhood dream by doing this?
The young man's mind was full of mixed thoughts.

If Xiao Xiao hadn't pulled him in time, he would have almost hit the door frame.

"Be careful."

Xiao Xiao reminded the young man.

"oh oh."

The young man smiled and said, "Thank you."

He gathered his scattered attention.

……

The young man took a taxi directly.

When the door opened, he finally responded, "That..."

He placed his hand on the door handle, with a look of hesitation on his face, "It..."

"It will catch up."

Xiao Xiao smiled knowingly.

"oh oh."

The young man nodded reassuredly.

It just suddenly occurred to him that now that they were in a car, what about the monster?
It turned out that he was worrying in vain.

That's a monster.

How come I can’t catch up with the car?

……

The young man sat in the car, looking out the window, as if he was looking for something.

He was indeed looking for a monster.

Is the monster following the car?
He thought curiously.

The hot wind blew on his face, and soon beads of sweat appeared on the young man's forehead.

"This guest..."

The driver glanced at the young man in the passenger seat with a hesitant look on his face.

He could understand that the guest felt the car was stuffy and opened the window a crack.

But is it okay to open the windows so wide on such a hot day?
Aren’t the guests themselves also sweating profusely?

The driver hesitated whether to remind the passenger.

What if the customer is unhappy about this?
Since the distance was not far anyway, the driver swallowed the words that were about to come out.

The young man paid no attention to the driver's half-sentence.

His attention was on the invisible monster.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the young man in the passenger seat, "Kong Yi."

After he pulled back the young man who almost bumped into the door, the young man introduced himself.

“The window was open too wide.”

"The driver is very hot."

"Ah, oh."

The young man took a last look out the window and saw nothing.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and closed the window.

……

"Thank you."

The driver laughed and said, "I'm a bit fat and can't stand the heat."

"Haha."

　ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
