Chapter 68 Philip
This seems to be...his family's snack, right?
Xiao Xiao saw that the little monster was eating intently and didn't pay any attention to him, so he carefully moved a little closer.

That’s right, it’s their signature snack that’s only available in winter – plum blossom pastry.

"Xiaoxiao?"

"What were you doing under the table?" Xiao's mother held the pear and barley soup with a look of surprise on her face.

"My shoelaces are untied." Xiao Xiao looked calm. He pulled his shoelaces naturally, stood up and sat back in his chair.

Xiao Xiao felt that he was becoming more and more calm in the face of unexpected events, which was really great.

"Oh." Xiao's mother didn't care anymore. She put the pear and barley soup in her hand on the table and called Xiao Xiao, "Come, Xiaoxiao, eat it while it's hot."

"Ok."

……

After Xiao Xiao finished eating the pear and barley soup, he went straight back to the backyard.

As for the monster, he decided to come and take a look at it at night. After all, it was too inconvenient during the day.

As for whether the monster will still be there at that time, Xiao Xiao said: It depends on luck.

However, the matter of this monster must be resolved eventually.

Although this monster has not shown any aggressiveness so far and looks soft and cute, but one cannot judge a monster by its appearance. When it comes to his family, he has to be 100% sure that the monster is harmless before he can feel at ease.

……

In the evening, Xiao's mother and grandmother prepared a big meal for Xiao Xiao.

As Xiao Xiao's physique improved, his appetite also became much bigger, so he finished most of the dishes on the table, which made Xiao's mother and grandmother very happy.

Xiao Xiao touched his stomach and felt very full.

"This kid, why does his appetite become so big?" Father Xiao was a little surprised by Xiao Xiao's appetite. So many dishes basically all went into the boy's stomach.

"What are you talking about? Knowing how to eat means you're healthy." Mother Xiao was displeased when she heard what Father Xiao said.

"Yes, Xiaoxiao is so thin, he needs to eat more." Grandma supported Xiao's mother.

"Well, boys should eat more." Grandpa nodded in agreement. "Some boys nowadays have smaller appetites than girls. How ridiculous..."

……

Xiao Xiao felt that it was better for him to remain silent.

……

The moon was at its zenith, and the snow that had stopped earlier began to fall again.

The silvery-white moonlight is like frost, emitting a cool and clear glow.

There was silence all around, Xiao Xiao even thought he heard the sound of Xue Luo.

……

Xiao Xiao tiptoed into the dim teahouse with the help of the flashlight from his cell phone.

A hint of silvery moonlight leaked in through the gap in the door. Even though it was faint, it was enough for Xiao Xiao to have a clear view of the entire teahouse.

I didn’t see the little monster I saw in the afternoon.

Is he really gone?

Even though he had expected it, Xiao Xiao was still a little disappointed.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao heard some rustling sounds, which seemed to come from the kitchen?
Xiao Xiao slowly walked towards the kitchen and slowly lifted the curtain. Even though the kitchen was much darker than the lobby outside, Xiao Xiao immediately saw the source of the rustling sound - the little monster!
Because it's really too obvious!

In the darkness, the little monster's snow-white fur was glowing with a light halo, and the red demon patterns on it were also shining. It was extremely gorgeous and strange, as if it was a visitor from another world, unreal and hazy.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.

However, when he saw the little monster skillfully use its claws to open the door of the cabinet, and then put its whole body into the cabinet to search around, with only half of its tail sticking out and swinging around, Xiao Xiao felt himself suddenly wake up.

Is this a habitual offender? Xiao Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

…The little monster seemed to have found nothing and looked disappointed.

Most of the snacks at Xiao’s Teahouse are made on the spot, unless they take a long time to make, as this is the only way to ensure the best taste of the snacks.

When business was good before, there might be some leftover snacks from the day in the cabinet. Business has been slow these days, especially today when Xiao Xiao went home, the teahouse closed early, and there were no snacks left in the cabinet.

But the little monster obviously didn't give up, it went into other cabinets to search.

Xiao Xiao quickly reached out and grabbed the little monster's tail. The kitchen was an important place, and cleanliness was the most important thing. Who knew if this little monster was clean? It would be bad if it got dusty if it was scurrying around in the cabinet like this.

The little monster was suddenly grabbed by the tail and was obviously a little confused. He fluttered forward a few times stupidly, and when he found that he was motionless, he turned around and looked over.

"Fei~fei~" The little monster turned around and saw Xiao Xiao, and immediately got angry. The strange cry was quite soft, so even though the little monster looked fierce, it didn't look ferocious, but rather acted like a spoiled child.

Hmm, Xiao Xiao pursed his lips, grabbed the little monster's tail and lifted it up.

The little monster flapped its limbs and attacked Xiao Xiao with its sharp claws, but with its small arms and legs, it couldn't catch Xiao Xiao.

The little monster is still a monster after all. His strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, but to Xiao Xiao, it is nothing.

Xiao Xiao held the little monster upside down like this, and no matter how it struggled and flapped, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and it was of no use at all.

Xiao Xiao took a closer look at the little monster in his hand. It was about the same size as an ear mouse and a bit like a raccoon. It had horse-like mane on its neck. It should have been soft and sticking to the neck, but now it was a bit messy and standing up.

Is he really furious?
Xiao Xiao shook the little monster in his hand with some mischievousness, and couldn't help but chuckle at its confused expression.

But what kind of monster is this? It's quite cute.

Just as the doubts arose, Xiao Xiao's heart moved, and a piece of information entered his brain.

Xiao Xiao was startled for a moment, then he realized it was the Demon Mirror.

"Phiphi...?"

"Can raising it relieve worries?"

"Isn't it just a pet?"

It seemed to be a harmless monster indeed. Xiao Xiao shook it a few more times with interest.

"Fei Fei~" Fei Fei screamed, and found that she could not break free from Xiao Xiao's grip. She rolled her eyes and admitted defeat knowing the situation. She looked at Xiao Xiao with a pair of silver-blue eyes that looked like the Milky Way in the sky, with a pitiful look as if she was about to cry.

Ugh, what a cute little guy.

Xiao Xiao squatted down and put Feifei on the ground.

Feifei immediately fell to the ground with his whole body weak. It seemed that even the color of his fur had become duller, and he looked exhausted.

Xiao Xiao poked the little monster pretending to be dead in front of him with his finger, "Little guy?"

Feifei said nothing but turned his head to the side.

What a childish mentality! Xiao Xiao found it a little funny.

"I'll treat you to some pastries as an apology."

Feifei suddenly stared at Xiao Xiao with shining eyes, and there was even a hint of flattery in her expression.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help himself and reached out to rub Feifei's head. The touch was softer and silkier than expected, with a slight coolness.

Feifei had an expression on her face as if she was trying hard to endure the pain just for the sake of the cakes.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, let's go." Xiao Xiao stood up, motioned the little monster to follow him, and walked out of the kitchen first.

Feifei followed Xiao Xiao happily without any hesitation, with his tail raised high. Obviously, the little monster's mind could no longer hold anything other than cakes.
