Chapter 273 Conversation, the Sealed Taotie

"Perhaps it is because we are weak that we are so sentimental."

Xiao Xiao didn't mind the eel saying that humans were weak. After all, in the eyes of the eel that had lived for hundreds of years, humans who had to experience birth, aging, sickness and death were indeed weak.

However, the reason why fireworks touch people's hearts is because they are fleeting; the reason why tragedy is shocking is because of its imperfect ending.

Although humans are weak, in a sense, they are also incomparably powerful.

No amount of suffering can extinguish the bright light of humanity.

What confuses and even makes the duck lose its mind is the light of humanity. Humans are timid, mean, cowardly, and cruel, but they are also fearless, noble, brave, and compassionate.

Human beings seem to be fragile and vulnerable, yet incredibly resilient.

Human beings are truly a complex, varied and contradictory species.

Monsters are much simpler.

Well, except for the cunning and coquettish fox. As if recalling some unpleasant memories, the duck frowned with some disgust.

……

"You are so weak and yet you still think so much. You are asking for trouble."

Eel was silent for a while, and his strange tone had the ups and downs of a rhythm. It was a bit disdainful, but not offensive.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "It's because I'm weak that I think too much."

Because we know how difficult life is, we cherish the short time we have and will not miss the scenery along the way.

We are always greedy to get more, and we are not satisfied with what we have now. Even if we sometimes hesitate, go around in circles or even go backwards, the life that gropes forward is the real life.

……

A gust of wind blew by, and the maple forest made a crisp and pleasant sound of branches and leaves colliding. The fiery red maple forest swayed and the maple leaves danced. Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his clothes fluttering, and his expression was a little distant.

Standing on a high vantage point, overlooking the maple forest, the forest is full of colors and the waves are undulating. It is really a picturesque scene and the autumn atmosphere is intoxicating.

"Coffee~"

The sudden strong wind made Feifei a little excited. His soft hair fluttered and swayed, and there seemed to be some sparkling light in the air.

Feifei stared at the rolling maple forest below with his eyes sparkling, his gaze fixed on the lush scenery.

"Ow~"

As if disturbed by the sound of leaves swaying in the wind, Taotie's sleepy eyes opened slightly and he glanced around impatiently.

"Who are these two?"

Wuwu finally turned his attention to the two monsters brought by Xiao Xiao.

It had wanted to ask at first, but Xiao Xiao's sudden request disrupted its rhythm, and the couple passing by behind also attracted its attention.

So only when he heard the voices of the two monsters did he suddenly remember his original question and asked it.

Xiao Xiao was stunned and realized that he had never introduced Feifei and Taotie.

"Duck, this is Feifei."

"Coffee~"

Feifei raised her head and called softly to the duck. Feifei was always very kind to beautiful creatures.

Xiao Xiao was somewhat helpless about Feifei's obsession with looks.

“This is Taotie.”

Xiao Xiao pointed at the monster lying above his head. The monster being introduced opened his eyes lazily and met the dark and deep pupils of the eel. His eyes flashed involuntarily. This monster was very strong.

I wasn’t afraid in the past, but now that I’m sealed, I’d better not be afraid.

The feeling of frustration that arose again made Taotie grit his teeth in dissatisfaction.

It really wanted to swallow the bastard who sealed it in one bite.

However, it had no recollection of being sealed and could not remember anything.

I thought about it over and over again, my head was swollen and painful, but I still couldn't think of anything.

It's like that memory never existed.

If Taotie had not been so sure about how powerful and majestic he had been before, he would have suspected that everything was just a dream.

Taotie quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep again, as if he couldn't see anything. ...

"Taotie?"

There was a flash of surprise in the duck's eyes. If it weren't for its own self-cultivation, it would have screamed out in surprise.

However, Wuyao looked at the monster lying on top of Xiao Xiao's head.

so small.

Moreover, it seems that the demonic power is very weak.

Is it really a glutton?
How could there be such a weak Taotie?

Taotie is definitely a monster blessed by nature, born with powerful strength.

Even if it is a baby Taotie, it shouldn't be as weak as the Taotie in front of him.

"Fifi, Taotie, this is a duck."

"Coffee~"

Feifei greeted him very actively, and his rare enthusiasm made Xiao Xiao laugh. This guy.

"Hmm~"

Taotie responded perfunctorily with his eyes closed. He never had a good face towards monsters that were stronger than himself.

If it were my old self, huh.

Does Taotie just think that there are monsters more unlucky than himself?

No, is there such an unlucky demon? !
This ancient demon was not only sealed, but was also sealed inexplicably. Even if he wanted to find someone to take revenge on, he couldn't find anyone.

It's all so sad to talk about it. Taotie couldn't help but stretch out his claws to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

……

After responding politely to Feifei, Wuya focused all his attention on the monster that seemed to be Taotie.

It looks just like the legend.

So, is he injured?

The demonic energy around Wuwu became stronger and stronger, and he carefully sensed the demonic energy on Taotie.

Wait, it seems to have discovered something extraordinary.

Is this a seal?

Just a slight leak of breath made the eel extremely fearful.

The eel stopped its exploration.

It turns out it was sealed.

But who is this powerful force that actually sealed a Taotie?
The duck's eyes are deep and calm, but there is an undercurrent hidden beneath them.

After thinking for a while, he gave up trying to get to the bottom of the matter.

It is the instinct of monsters to seek profit and avoid harm.

No matter who it is, since he can subdue a Taotie and force it to seal, then, unless necessary, Wulong does not want to fight against such a powerful guy.

Anyway, it seems that this Taotie's power has just been sealed and its size has shrunk. Apart from that, this Taotie doesn't seem to have suffered any harm.

Moreover, now that this Taotie is with this human, it should be safe, right?
This human named Xiao Xiao was also a strange human that he found quite difficult to understand.

However, it doesn't mind.

It's fun to get along like this, isn't it?
Enjoy the maple leaves and the scenery, and chat with the ducks when there are no other tourists around. It is a relaxing and pleasant experience.

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gorgeous red shadow appeared in front of him, creating a breathtaking and moving scenery.

However, as time went by, there were more and more tourists, and the gradually noisy maple forest made Xiao Xiao frown slightly.

Looks like it's time to leave here.

There are so many people here, it would be bad if someone noticed something unusual.
