Chapter 3125 By the way
Or it was given to it by this human on purpose.

……

For the sake of this human being...

Taotie controlled his subconscious behavior of swallowing the fruit directly.

Instead, he crushed the half fruit with his teeth.

Honestly, it's quite awkward.

Such a small fruit...

Only half a pill...

Taotie is very concerned about the quantity and size of food.

Very dissatisfied.

what?

You're stingy.

When giving someone a gift, be generous.

Just send a bunch of them over here.

……

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows slightly curved, and he listened patiently to Taotie's endless complaints.

After Taotie stopped, Xiao Xiao asked with a smile, "Does little Taotie like the taste of this fruit?"

……

Taotie was slightly stunned.

As for the taste of this fruit...

In fact, its definition of delicious and unpalatable is very vague.

As long as it's not too unpalatable...it can eat it.

of course.

It's not taste idiotic.

It can still tell what is delicious and what is not.

Taotie nodded.

Just as it was about to say something, it noticed two pairs of eyes falling on it.

Taotie twitched his lips.

Chi~
Taotie snorted.

Turned over.

It smacked its lips.

Not bad to eat.

Taotie gave his own evaluation.

……

Xiao Xiao looked down at the little white fox and the white snake.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

puff~
Okay.

Barely ok.

Not bad to eat.

How come it's a little funny?

They did not give repeated answers.

It's hard for them.

Different answers, but they express almost the same meaning.

……

The little white fox's head rested on Xiao Xiao's arm again.

The aura around him revealed a hint of laziness and a slight pleasure.

……

The white snake's tail swung.

It was tied around the body and then quickly untied.

It perfectly interprets the four words "soft as if boneless".

……

"Luduan."

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

He looked at the monster whose expression was unclear not far away.

The monster standing in the darkness almost seemed to melt into the darkness, accepted by the darkness, so much so that half of its body seemed to disappear in the darkness.

“The fruit is delicious.”

There was a gentle smile in Xiao Xiao's voice.

"Thank you for coming all the way to give me these fruits."

To be honest, he was quite surprised by Lu Duan's behavior.

The relationship between him and Lu Duan...originally in his opinion, was not at all to the point where Lu Duan would specially come over to give him a gift.

……

Lu Duan withdrew his gaze from moving back and forth between the little white fox and the white snake.

As for the little black creature on top of this human's head...

Obviously, the rude white fox and white snake attracted more of Lu Duan's attention.

……

But all of them combined could not compare to the novelty and curiosity that this human brought him.

……

Lu Duan looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Just by the way."

……

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the night sky that looked like splashed ink.

Oh.

By the way.

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you even if it's just by the way."

"I am very happy to receive your gift."

"Feel sorry."

"I don't think I have anything to give you in return."

An unexpected event came from Luduan.

This is also the residence where he lives when he comes to travel.

He had nothing on him that he could give to Lu Duan as a return gift.

This village doesn't even have souvenirs.

Oh.

Not without.

This village still has some souvenirs, such as local specialties.

Does he also want to go back to Luduan to get some food?
Xiao Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems like...it's not impossible?
……

"Return gift?"

Lu Duan was puzzled.

"Does that mean you're going to give me a present?"

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Human beings value reciprocity."

"You gave me a gift."

"So I hope to give you a gift in return."

……

"I didn't give you a present."

Lu Duan shook his head.

……

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

……

"The fruit just happened to ripen not long ago."

Lu Duan tilted his head.

"You helped me yesterday."

"I just want you to taste these fruits."

It didn't come with the intention of giving a gift.

It’s more like a feeling of sharing.

And it was also very happy that it went to find this human during the day, and this human followed it without hesitation.

These fruits can be considered a reward to this human being.

……

"Do not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

"Thank you very much for informing me yesterday."

And took him to the place where the child fell off the cliff.

If it weren’t for Lu Duan…

The fate of that child is really hard to say.

Perhaps a tragedy is inevitable.

"Because of you, the child was saved."

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao bowed slightly towards Lu Duan.

……

Lu Duan glanced to the side with a somewhat uneasy look in his eyes.

"If I didn't hate the taste of blood..."

Lu Duan muttered softly.

It can save the child by itself.

Instead of going around in circles and looking for this human being to save people.

"…You are willing to follow me…"

Lu Duan looked at Xiao Xiao calmly.

……

Xiao Xiao's mouth corners raised.

"It's you who is willing to come to me."

This is Lu Duan's trust in him.

He is very happy.

……

Lu Duan used his hooves to dig at the ground in front of him.

It was also done on a whim.

So I really went to find this human being.

It actually found it very quickly.

Otherwise, if the process had more twists and turns, and it thought about it for a while longer, it might have given up looking for this human.

After all, why would it want to save the human child?
……

Lu Duan shook his head.

"I'm leaving."

Anyway, the fruit has been given to this human.

This human ate it.

The fruit was also given very good feedback.

It is very satisfied.

As for the discordant voices and comments that are obviously full of subjective emotions from those annoying guys...

It looked disdainful.

It is not stupid enough to care or take these words seriously.

but……

Their evaluation is not too far-fetched...

It thought they would say it tasted terrible or something like that...

After all, they were not polite at all when they commented on the appearance of this fruit.

But I didn’t expect that their reviews would be just okay?
But soon, Lu Duan figured out the reason.

It’s because of this human being.

Lu Duan suddenly realized.

Because the human had previously said that the fruit was delicious, they did not deny that the fruit was delicious.

There was something strange in Lu Duan's eyes as he looked at this human.

But the night became the best cover.

Lu Duan lowered his eyes slightly.

When it first discovered that this human was accompanied by a monster, it had suspected that this human had resorted to some nefarious means...

Monsters are all arrogant.

This is the confidence that comes from strength.

After all, most humans can't see them, so how can they confront them head-on?
It's really easy for monsters to hurt humans.
