Chapter 398: Luck and Search
Xiao Xiao raised his head, as if he hadn't heard anything just now, with a natural expression of inquiry on his face.

Zhang Bo only felt his temples twitching. These guys are simply more pretentious than the other!
He had an expression of forbearance on his face, but he couldn't help grinding his teeth hard, making a slightly harsh "hissing" sound.

Then he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

Young men as upright and promising as him are truly rare species.

How come no discerning beauty noticed it?

……

"Old Three, what are you doing?"

Zhuge Yun suddenly shouted.

"Get ready for a shower."

Xiao Xiao answered fluently without stopping his hands to take out his spare clothes.

Although he is a boy, he still has a slight obsession with cleanliness.

After all, my family runs a teahouse, which is also in the catering industry.

Hygiene is naturally the top priority.

Xiao Xiao, who grew up in such an environment, naturally pays more attention to hygiene in his daily life habits than many boys who are not particular about details.

……

Today he had been out all day looking for money, and before that he had been sweating all over due to over-use of his spiritual power.

Now that the fun is over, it’s time for him to get down to business.

The so-called serious business is naturally taking a bath.

……

Looking at Xiao Xiao's perfectly natural expression, Zhuge Yun twitched his lips. He had discovered a long time ago that the eldest and the youngest both thought he was thick-skinned and the best at pretending, but in fact he was really protesting for himself.

How can he be called thick-skinned and pretentious?

The third brother is the real real person who never reveals his true identity.

But no one believed what he said. They all thought he was slandering the third brother, who was the most calm and gentle.

In response to this, Zhuge Yun said: …

Is this what they mean by "hunting geese all day, only to be blinded by them in the end"?

This feeling is so inexplicably frustrating.

……

"What kind of bath?"

Zhuge Yun said unhappily, "Answer my second brother a few questions first and then go wash."

"You ask."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and agreed readily.

He had known this would happen.

He could guess what Zhuge Yun was going to ask without having to think too much.

……

really.

"Have you found Miss Su's things?"

Zhuge Yun asked impatiently.

Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng couldn't help but turn their eyes to Xiao Xiao.

"found it."

Xiao Xiao nodded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Today was a complete turn of events.

I thought it was another fruitless day, but unexpectedly I found the silver that had been lost for several days at the school gate.

I really have to thank Taotie this time.

Otherwise, they would probably miss out on the money again.

……

"That's good."

Zhuge Yun and others all laughed.

"But it's lucky to be able to find it after so many days."

Zhao Lu was expressing his feelings somewhat.

He thought that his third brother came back so late because he had gained nothing.

Unexpectedly, they actually found it.

……

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao smiled in agreement.

It was indeed a stroke of luck that I was able to find the silver this time.

However, even though it was so close, I never noticed it.

Sometimes, this is what missing out is, right?
Fortunately, he and Su Youjin did not miss the money in the end.

……

The next day, Xiao Xiao got up early again.

After a night's rest, Xiao Xiao's complexion looked slightly better.

A faint blush spread across his cheeks.

The lip color is still light, revealing a somewhat bleak feeling.

...Xiao Xiao stretched out his fingers and pressed his forehead.

It seems to help alleviate the dull pain in the brain that is like a thorn in the flesh.

He thought he would have a hard time falling asleep last night.

He didn't expect that he had such a strong ability to endure. Maybe he got used to the pain after a while, and the fatigue rising from his body also made him fall into a deep sleep without too much struggle.

……

Just woke up again, the familiar pain hit.

Besides, it's not a pleasant feeling to feel nauseous and want to vomit so early in the morning.

Xiao Xiao drank a large glass of water.

The cold liquid slides down the throat, making people shudder and feel refreshed at the same time.

It seemed that even the nausea that was almost rising to the back of my throat had subsided a lot.

"Whoo~"

Xiao Xiao put down the cup, narrowed his eyes slightly, and let out a breath with some emotion.

Comfortable.

……

It was still early, and the sky was gray and a bit gloomy.

Snow can be seen everywhere.

In the dim sky, a hazy white light is emitted.

……

Xiao Xiao was walking on the campus path on a quiet winter morning. The cold air, which would make most students shiver, made him feel very pleasant and comfortable.

Occasionally a few students walked by, all wrapped up tightly.

The exposed face was still pale from the cold.

……

Xiao Xiao walked straight to the cafeteria.

But in my mind I was always thinking about where I should go to look for monsters?
Then, the hunt begins.

……

Until he entered the cafeteria.

Until he finished his breakfast.

Xiao Xiao did not come to any valuable conclusions.

After all, there is too little information.

Before, they were all monsters I had run into.

This time, Xiao Xiao had to take the initiative to find the monster. He was a little confused and didn't know where to start.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Xiao felt that he was being stupid.

There is nothing to think about. It's nothing more than walking around and trying your luck.

There was a hint of helplessness in the smile on Xiao Xiao's lips.

He suddenly became very worried about whether he could find the monster today.

……

But it's normal not to find it.

Monsters are not cabbages.

Do you really think you can bump into him just walking down the street?

And it has to be a monster that does evil.

Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that he had taken things for granted.

……

However, Xiao Xiao quickly adjusted his mentality.

Just think of it as walking on the road.

It would be best if you could meet the target you want.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet them for the time being. Anyway, you will eventually meet monsters that can serve as food for the Demon Mirror.

……

Xiao Xiao put his hands in his pockets and strolled on the street in the early morning.

Because it was a weekend and the weather was cold, there were not many passers-by.

Xiao Xiao inexplicably had a feeling that the world was very quiet, and the occasional sounds seemed to be blurred, as if there was a layer between them.

He could clearly hear his own footsteps.

The rubber soles of the shoes made a slight rustling sound as they stepped on the stone slabs.

……

The sky gradually brightened, but there was no sunlight.

It seems that today is a cloudy day.

An hour had passed since he came out, and Xiao Xiao had found nothing.

Forget about any ferocious monsters, he didn't even find a harmless little monster.

……

Xiao Xiao was not in a hurry and walked at a steady pace.

His eyes casually scanned the surroundings.

He tilted his head slightly and said jokingly, "Feifei, do you think the monsters are avoiding me because I have bad intentions today?"
