Chapter 217: Directionally challenged?!
Finally, the monkey nodded imperceptibly.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes curved into a crescent shape.

"Phi."

Xiao Xiao called out to Feifei, who had been faithfully doing his duty by lying on the stair railing and staring at the monkey.

"Coffee~"

Feifei called out happily a few times, and with a few light leaps, she nimbly jumped onto Xiao Xiao's shoulders.

Because of Feifei's actions, Xiong's body shook subconsciously again.

Xiao Xiao quickly smiled soothingly at the monster who was starting to get nervous again.

He had finally dragged the monster out of his turtle shell and it was no longer so repulsive to him, so he must not let it shrink back again.

"Coffee~"

Feifei seemed to realize that he seemed to have scared the monster.

I couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous. He is so tall but so timid.

However, seeing that Xiao Xiao seemed very nervous about the other party, Fei Fei thought about it and deliberately softened the aura around him, but closed his eyes, deciding not to see this monster.

Besides, its aura is changeable, but its eyes are not.

The eyes, which are already cold in tone, are cold and ruthless, a characteristic of monsters.

"Hehe." Xiao Xiao gently patted Feifei on his shoulder and said to the tense Xiong in a gentle voice: "This is Feifei, it has no ill intentions."

"And this is Taotie."

Xiao Xiao took a Taotie lying on its back from his head, held it in front of Niu Zi and introduced it.

"Ow~"

Uncle Taotie struggled in vain. Although he knew he could not do anything to Xiao Xiao, it was definitely not his style to be so obedient.

Xiao Xiao stretched out his finger and flicked Taotie's forehead hard, and the restless monster immediately covered his head and behaved himself.

But facing the green eyes that looked at it with some curiosity, Taotie opened his ferocious mouth viciously, and the eyes under his armpits were sinister and strange.

猼訑:?!

"Dengdeng" the monkey retreated three steps.

Xiao Xiao: ...

"Ow~"

Taotie was hit hard on the head by Xiao Xiao again, and tears almost burst out in an instant.

Xiao Xiao held the pitiful Taotie in front of the monkey and said, "Look, this Taotie just wanted to scare you. It has no ill intentions."

This time, Niu Zi just took a step back, and then secretly looked at Taotie with some confusion and fear.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Xiao casually put the Taotie back on his head.

Uncle Taotie groaned for a while, but in the end he didn't do anything.

The monkey looked at the human in front of him with awe.

What an amazing human being!

Although he was a little confused, Xiao Xiao did not delve into the changes in the monkey.

He just smiled and said to the monkey: "Let's go."

……

"Wait, let's go this way."

Xiao Xiao looked at the monkey who was about to go up the stairs, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and quickly spoke out to stop him.

They were about to leave the seventh teaching building. What did this monster want to do by going upstairs?
The monkey looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion, then obediently retracted its hooves that were about to step on the stairs and walked towards Xiao Xiao who was standing on the steps leading down.

This monster...isn't it a person with poor sense of direction?

Xiao Xiao guessed with some uncertainty.

But later, this speculation was confirmed.

Xiao Xiao looked at the monkey who had gone in the wrong direction again with a frown on his face, "Niao, this is the way."

Xiao Xiao's tone was full of helplessness.

It’s just a simple journey down four floors, why can this monster ignore the stairs in front of it and walk to the side?

Now he finally understood why this monster was so timid and had been scared by the students here many times, but had not left here yet.

It's not that it doesn't want to leave, but this monkey is simply a super-difficult person in finding its way. Unless it gets lucky, it may just have to wander around in this teaching building for the rest of its life.

……

People with poor sense of direction are truly powerful creatures.

Why can we get lost again and again on such a simple road?

Maybe he is not a person with a poor sense of direction, so he always finds it difficult to understand?

……

"The exit is just ahead."

Xiao Xiao said to the monkey who was walking in front of him.

As for why he, the guide, walked behind?
Speaking of this, Xiao Xiao could only sigh helplessly.

Originally, he was walking in front, but the monster would inexplicably lose him when following him. Every time he noticed something was wrong and looked back, he saw that the monster had gone in another direction.

Yet he still had such a normal attitude.

Xiao Xiao: ...

After doing this several times, Xiao Xiao walked behind the monster, always keeping an eye on this monster which had not only a weak sense of direction but also no sense of direction.

The moment he saw the exit, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Xiao immediately realized this and smiled bitterly.

He had never felt that the distance from the fourth floor to the first floor was so far.

……

A large swath of sunlight shines in through the open door, filling the room with a bright haze.

The monkey seemed to be running towards the sunshine with some excitement.

Looking at the monkey whose whole body was wrapped in the sunlight and whose figure gradually became blurred, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

……

"Baa baa~"

The monkey cried out happily, and the open environment around it made it jump a few times with joy.

The first time Xiao Xiao heard the cry of a monkey, it was exactly the same as the cry of a sheep.

However, the timbre and tone are very different.

It was low, like a dull drumbeat, with a slight hoarseness, but it was not unpleasant to the ear. Instead, it had a very strange feeling.

A sense of emptiness that is unlike any other living thing here.

After all, it is such a magical monster. As long as you wear its fur, you will feel infinite courage in your heart.

However, what is the effect? ​​Xiao Xiao doesn't know.

He had no desire to try.

After all, he never thought of himself as a person lacking courage.

Besides, shouldn’t courage be an emotion that comes from the heart?

What is the courage inspired by monster fur?

When this courage fades away, what is left in your heart?

Is it the remnant of courage that gives rise to new courage? Or is it the helplessness and confusion of suddenly losing one's support?
"Chi~"

Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that he was overthinking. Sure enough, his temperament was becoming more and more like that of an old man, and he loved to preach so much.

Anyway, for some people who lack courage and hesitate to move forward, sometimes a small tuft of fur should be able to give them a good push, right?

So, should he ask the monkey for some of its fur?

But when he thought that a certain monster might be in tears and terrified by then, Xiao Xiao's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he silently gave up the plan that had suddenly come to his mind.

Too much trouble.

And, to be honest, he's really not very good at comforting people, uh, and monsters.

Xiao Xiao inexplicably recalled the embarrassing things his mother had told him about his childhood.

He has been like this since he was a child.

Once, the school held a sports meeting and invited parents to visit.
