Chapter 4265 Magic?

Only liars... and lunatics.

……

Ruan Jianjia is not a fool, nor does she want to be one.

She is leaving.

She couldn't stay here for a moment.

For the sake of the eldest daughter of the Su family, she still wanted to maintain her final dignity.

……

"!?"

Ruan Jianjia's eyes suddenly widened.

The scream hadn't even left her throat yet.

The scene before my eyes changed...

……

Xiao Xiao exerted a little force with his hands.

"Wow!"

This was the first time Green Jade had made a sound in the past few days.

But it's not the meow that a Persian cat should make.

Instead, it was a rough, dry scream that sounded like a human cry.

……

The white Persian cat in Xiao Xiao's hand quickly turned black.

Just like what Ruan Jianjia had seen in the forest before.

then……

Xiao Xiao loosened his hand that was holding the green jadeite.

The green jade fell straight down.

Just before it hit the ground, the black cat corpse turned into powder.

Then it disappeared.

……

"Ouch!"

The little Taotie ejected.

It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the black shadow that escaped from the Persian cat that had been turned into powder in one gulp.

....
The little Taotie returned to Xiao Xiao's head.

It turned over.

Spread out your limbs.

The corners of his mouth widened.

The white teeth are faintly visible.

Although it's just a small snack, it's better than nothing.

……

Ruan Jianjia opened her mouth wide.

A blank face.

She was a little overwhelmed...

At first, she saw Master Xiao change from grabbing to strangling Green Jade's neck.

Green Jade is struggling desperately...

It looked horribly miserable.

Before she could say anything...

What happened next?
What did she see?
Green emerald turned black! ?
The familiar black color that made her heart skip a beat...

Everything happened so fast.

The sound got stuck in her throat.

Before she could try to open her throat, what did she see?
Master Xiao loosened his grip.

The green jade fell downwards.

There was panic in her eyes.

Soon, the panic in her eyes turned into disbelief.

The green emerald disappeared.

As if it had never existed.

Not a trace was left.

……

Ruan Jianjia seemed to be petrified.

She felt as if she were trapped in an absurd dream.

Everything feels a little light and airy.

Floating in mid-air.

Can't reach the sky.

Can't get down to the ground.

……

Xiao Xiao knew that the girl needed some time to digest what she had seen before.

He didn't say anything to interrupt the woman.

He picked up the spoon.

I started to enjoy the dessert in front of me.

……

The little Taotie jumped onto the table.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and glanced at a monster that was grinning at him.

Didn’t this guy just eat?

A Chi-me.

……

The little Taotie opened his eyes wide under his armpits.

A little monster like that is not enough to fill its teeth.

Besides, didn’t it just solve the problem for Lord Xiao Xiao?
Thanks to its quick response, agile action and prompt decision-making.

Otherwise, Lord Xiao Xiao would have to spend some time to catch the monster that was about to escape.

As a hero, is it too much to ask for some reward?
Not too much at all.

Reasonable.

As it should.

The little Taotie raised his chin.

A look of self-righteousness.

……

A smile flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes.

This guy……

Eat it.

He pushed a plate of dessert closer to his hand.

……

Little Taotie's face suddenly brightened.

This is right.

The little glutton opened his mouth wide...

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand casually.

Wait for Xiao Xiao to withdraw his hand.

The plate is empty.

……

Xiao Xiao flicked the little Taotie's forehead with his fingers.

That's it.

Don't be greedy.

Just a piece of cake.

……

Little Taotie shook his head. All right.

The little Taotie returned to Xiao Xiao's head somewhat reluctantly.

Without food, it quickly went into standby mode.

The little Taotie was lying on its back on top of Xiao Xiao's head.

Close your eyes.

He looks lazy, as if he is going to sleep after eating and drinking.

……

Xiao Xiao picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.

This cafe is nice.

Whether it is the taste of the snacks or the taste of the coffee, it is amazing.

……

He put down his coffee cup.

The bottom of the cup and the saucer made no sound at all.

He looked at Ruan Jianjia opposite him.

Haven't you come to your senses yet?

……

Ruan Jianjia, who should have been slow to react, somehow happened to notice Master Xiao's gaze.

She was like a paused robot that was pressed into action by this gaze.

She was shocked.

There is a wonderful feeling as if the three souls and seven spirits suddenly return to their place.

The white mist in front of her eyes gradually dissipated.

The appearance of Master Xiao opposite was clearly reflected.

……

Ruan Jianjia opened her mouth...

After a long while, she finally uttered a syllable.

"Xiao-"

Then it was as if it was stuck and there was no further development.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Sit down first and then talk."

……

Ruan Jianjia took a few seconds to understand what Master Xiao meant.

She looked down.

what.

She was standing indeed.

She sat down immediately.

The feeling of having someone to support her made her body and mind relax.

She leaned back in her chair.

The person was slightly slumped.

……

Ruan Jianjia looked at Master Xiao.

"Master Xiao."

She sat up suddenly.

A serious look appeared on his pale face.

"Green Emerald..."

"Disappeared?"

She saw this with her own eyes.

But it is still hard to believe until now.

She would rather believe that her eyes were blurry...

no……

Disappeared.

Is this... magic?!
After much thought, Ruan Jianjia finally came up with a barely acceptable explanation.

But the truth is...

The answer still needs to come from the "instigator" of that strange scene, Master Xiao.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Disappeared."

……

Ruan Jianjia: …

She looked stunned.

Master Xiao answered so frankly...
Instead, she didn't know how to continue...

……

Ruan Jianjia took a deep breath.

But this is a good sign.

this means……

Master Xiao did not hide her intention.

If she just asks...

Master Xiao will tell her, right?
……

"why?"

Ruan Jianjia stared at Master Xiao without blinking.

The slight disappointment I had felt towards Master Xiao disappeared completely.

Even more so than when she first asked the Su family's eldest daughter to see Master Xiao...

How to say?
Respect?

she does not know.

It’s similar to the feeling of not daring to neglect.

……

"Why did the green emerald disappear?"

Ruan Jianjia couldn't help but swallow.

"Are you doing magic?"

She expressed the guess she had finally come up with.

"Like a magic trick that can bring people back to life?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is the Green Emerald?"

"Take it out."

……

"Green Emerald died the day you went camping."

Xiao Xiao's expression remained unchanged.

"You saw it."

……

Ruan Jianjia's expression became strange.

Crying and laughing.

Seemingly panicked and angry.

"Don't joke with me!"

"This joke is not funny at all!"

Ruan Jianjia screamed.

But soon, she slowed down her tone.
