Chapter 484 First meeting
No one noticed that the raindrops slid down Xiao Xiao's cheeks but did not flow into his neck. Instead, they seemed to be blocked by something and fell outward along a strange curve.

……

"Coffee~"

Feifei jumped from Xiao Xiao's shoulder into Xiao Xiao's arms.

It doesn't like its fluffy fur to get wet by the rain and turn into wisps sticking to its body.

Taotie slightly opened his sleepy eyes and jumped directly into Xiao Xiao's coat pocket.

The warm and dry environment made it close its eyes again with satisfaction.

……

Xiao Xiao got out of the car, holding an umbrella. The heavy rain hit the umbrella, making a crackling sound.

The wind was howling, and most of the passers-by on the street were walking against the wind, holding their umbrellas with both hands, with the handles tilted forward.

Xiao Xiao glanced around and saw a young girl whose umbrella was blown over by the strong wind. Instantly, heavy rain poured down. Even though the girl quickly turned down the umbrella, most of her body was still wet and she looked quite embarrassed.

……

Compared to others who were struggling to move forward in the wind and rain, Xiao Xiao, who walked at a leisurely pace, seemed particularly leisurely and calm.

He just held the umbrella handle with one hand, and there were no tense lines on his slender palm.

However, the umbrella above his head did not move at all despite the strong wind and rain.

……

Approaching the alley where the back door of the house is located.

The hustle and bustle of the traffic disappeared from him in an instant.

This place seems to be a world of its own, quiet and timeless, with the mottled bluestone road engraved with traces left by the wheels of time.

……

"Click~"

Xiao Xiao gently pushed open the door to the backyard.

He knew that Xiao's father, Xiao's mother, and grandparents must be in the teahouse in front, so he did not disturb them.

He hadn't told them he was coming back in the first place.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain why he went home in the heavy rain.

……

Xiao Xiao walked straight to the corner where Bai Mei was.

"Baa baa~"

When the monkey discovered Xiao Xiao, it ran over happily, and the frog god kneeling on its head also grinned at Xiao Xiao.

……

The strange-looking monster was emitting a faint light all over its body and was immune to rain.

Dry hair has a natural volume.

The hooves stepped lightly, making crisp sounds.

……

The frog god did not block the rain from pouring down on him.

On the one hand, even though the speed at which its demonic power decays has dropped a lot, it is still very limited, so it is natural to save as much as possible.

On the other hand, it likes and even enjoys the feeling of being caught in the rain.

It feels good to have moisturized skin.

The frog god narrowed his eyes in pleasure.

……

"猼訑, the frog god."

"Baa baa~"

"Quack~"

“Is it good to live here?”

"Mee-mee~Mee-mee~"

The monkey nodded vigorously.

The frog god kneeling on its head did not move at all, and nodded just like the monkey.

"Quack~"

"is it?"

"That's good."

Xiao Xiao touched the big horn of the monkey.

……

"Let me introduce you to a new friend."

"You'll be neighbors from now on."

"Baa baa~"

"Quack~"

New friends? He was excited but also a little nervous.

The frog god noticed the word "neighbor". It seemed that the new monster also lived near the white plum tree.

The monsters at the paulownia tree have become quite familiar with each other and are getting along well with each other after spending some time together.

I wonder what kind of monster this new one is? What's his temperament?
I hope it’s not a monster that looks too ferocious, otherwise it might not be easy for the monkey to accept the new neighbor.

The Frog God was quite helpless about his friend's timid character. …

Xiao Xiao's gaze passed over the two monsters and looked at the white plum tree behind them.

……

The white plum blossoms in the remote corner have not all fallen.

A few simple little flowers are dotted on the sparse and intertwined branches.

There are withered white plum blossoms all over the ground under the tree.

Obviously, the mighty rainstorm had no mercy on women.

……

"Plum girl."

Xiao Xiao opened the box and called out Mei Nu.

……

The light faded away, and Mei Nu bowed to Xiao Xiao.

In the midst of the violent storm, Mei Girl's hair fluttered lightly, but no rain could get close to her.

The rich cool fragrance of plum blossoms wafts away.

The aroma mixed with water vapor becomes more refreshing, elegant and refreshing.

……

"Ms. Mei, this is the 猼訑."

“This is the frog god.”

"猼訑, the frog god, this is Mei Nu."

……

"Baa baa~"

The monkey sniffed the fragrance coming from the plum girl, and his originally fearful expression slowly relaxed, and he became a little intoxicated.

This is the scent of its favorite white plum.

But it smelled several times better than the scent it had always smelled on the white plum tree.

The monkey stared at Mei Nu with sparkling eyes.

It likes this monster.

The innocent little monkey smiled with joy.

……

Noticing the change in his friend's aura, the Frog God also smiled happily.

It seems that they will get along well with this new neighbor.

But what a pretty girl.

Prettier than any human girl the Frog God had seen in all the long years.

……

Mei Nu subconsciously took a step back and moved closer to Xiao Xiao.

In a short period of time, this human had gained its trust without it even realizing it.

Now that Mei Nu's demonic power is weak, she even develops a vague sense of dependence on Xiao Xiao.

……

Mei was a little scared at first by the huge size and strange appearance of the monster.

But later, when she saw the clear, shining eyes and the silly smile of the monkey, Mei Nu felt relieved.

It could feel the monster's kindness and goodwill towards it, and the fear in its heart disappeared.

……

Mei Nu looked at the Frog God curiously again.

It has seen frogs before.

However, this was the first time it had seen a frog kneeling on the head of another monster, and it couldn't help but show a bit of novelty and amusement in its eyes.

……

Xiao Xiao watched the first meeting of the three monsters with great interest.

Even when Mei Nu approached him, he did not say a word to comfort her.

He knew that Mei would soon discover the "duplicitousness" of the monkey.

Sure enough, Mei Nu did not disappoint him. After just a few breaths, she noticed the harmless aura emanating from the body of the monkey.

After all, unlike the ignorant monkey, Mei Nu has always lived in the courtyard of humans and knows a lot about the world.

Mei girl likes to observe humans, so she is much more sensitive to scent and emotions.

……

"Ms. Mei, this is the white plum tree. Do you like it?"

Noticing that the communication between the three demons had come to a temporary end, Xiao Xiao raised the edge of his umbrella, his eyes fell on the white plum tree, and spoke softly.

Following Xiao Xiao's gaze, Mei Nu saw the white plum blossoms that looked particularly elegant and vigorous in the heavy rain, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

The plum girl moved her lotus steps lightly, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, to the white plum tree.

Xiao Xiao noticed that the fragrance of plum blossoms in the air became stronger, seemingly because of Mei Nu's happy mood.

It's becoming more and more intoxicating.
