Chapter 722 Guests
"Did you hear it wrong?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Qing Geng outside the glass door and said, "There's no one outside."

……

"But we three heard it..."

Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng looked at each other. Although they said so, they were already feeling a little uncertain in their hearts.

Could it be that they really heard it wrong?
Could the sound just now have been the sound of the wind?
Or...was it a bird that hit the glass door?
Hey, that's not right, how could the sound of a bird hitting the door be so regular and continuous?
Could it be a bird tide?

Haha, this is really funny.

……

Seeing Zhang Bo and the other two struggling with seriousness, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "Haha~"

Zhang Bo: …

Zhuge Yun: ...

Zhao Luzheng: ...

I'm sorry they didn't find what's so funny about the third brother.

They were clearly talking seriously.

They were really a little scared.

Excuse me, where is the funny part?
Zhang Bo and the others looked at Xiao Xiao, who was still laughing, with unfriendly expressions, and there was a hint in their eyes that if Xiao Xiao didn't give them a satisfactory explanation, don't blame them for being rude.

……

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Xiao stopped laughing and said, "The person at the door is my guest."

……

"Your guest?"

Zhang Bo and the other two spoke in unison and looked towards the balcony in unison.

Still empty.

……

Zhao Luzheng suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "The one on the balcony... is a monster?!"

Zhang Bo and Zhuge Yun were stunned for a moment, then they showed expressions of sudden realization.

……

"No wonder--" They heard the sound but saw nothing.

Zhuge Yun had climbed off the bed at some point and pressed his face against the glass door with his eyes wide open. Even though he knew it was futile, he still held on to a one in ten thousand hope.

……

Zhao Luzheng followed closely behind and also lay on the glass door.

Knowing that the inexplicable knocking sound was made by a monster, the slight sense of fear caused by the unknown disappeared immediately. At this moment, his heart was filled with curiosity and excitement.

……

Zhang Bo looked at the two people with obscene actions with disgust, and then did the same action as them.

……

Xiao Xiao: ...

He looked at Qing Geng, who was only as high as Zhang Bo and the others' calves, and wanted to complain: You guys are not on the same level as the monsters, okay?

……

Qing Geng was obviously frightened by Zhang Bo and the others' actions. He flapped his wings a few times and landed on the balcony railing.

The white eyeballs rolled around, showing a bit of astonishment.

……

The monster, who didn't know how he was locked up in the terrible "cage" until he escaped, is now like a frightened bird.

He was always on edge, not knowing when danger would strike again in a completely unpredictable situation.

Especially that unbearable memory was so vivid that it seemed like it happened just the moment before, forcing it to tread on thin ice.

It definitely doesn't want to be locked up in some weird and scary cage again!
……

The scene before me was a little weird and a little funny.

There is a sense of inexplicable absurdity.

……

The excitement and eagerness on Zhang Bo and the others' faces, as well as the fear of facing a formidable enemy shown by the monster perched on the balcony railing.

Completely different expressions.

The only thing in common is that they are all looking around, searching for something.

……

Zhang Bo and the others were naturally looking for monsters.

But Qinggeng...

After Xiao Xiao thought about it for a while, he understood a little.

This is because he was trapped in the demon cage once and is now scared, right?
So I'm always on guard, worrying that another demon-catching cage might appear out of nowhere.

……

"Did you see it?"

Zhang Bo muttered, his face distorted by the pressure on the glass.

"No."

"I do not have either."

Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng replied gloomily, unwilling but helpless. …

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Okay, you all go to bed and get some rest."

"I'll go out for a while."

……

"It's boring."

"sleep."

Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng slapped their faces, cried out a few times in frustration, and climbed back into bed.

"Crack~"

The lights went out and the dormitory fell into darkness.

……

"Shu~"

The curtains that Zhang Bo had previously opened were pulled closed by Xiao Xiao.

The room, which had been somewhat bright because of the hazy moonlight coming through the balcony, suddenly became pitch dark.

……

Xiao Xiao stepped out of the dormitory and closed the glass door.

Looking up, a hint of surprise flashed across my eyes.

……

The green fields bathed in the moonlight seemed to be glowing.

The cyan feathers have a jade-like smooth texture. The moonlight flows over them like water, revealing a clear and cool luster, which is so beautiful that it is almost dreamy.

The white beak and tail of the bird also seem to be stained with a layer of green light, giving it a somewhat rippling feeling.

……

Xiao Xiao's admiring gaze paused when he met Qing Geng's cold eyes.

He felt that he might need some time to get used to these eyes that seemed to have no pupils and were only white.

……

It is because of these white eyes that Qing Geng's originally ethereal appearance has turned weird and grotesque.

There was a kind of eerie sense of horror.

……

"Qing Geng."

Xiao Xiao put away his scrutinizing gaze and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "It seems that you have recovered well."

The fact was clearly shown by the fact that the monster's feathers had returned to their normal color.

Then, Xiao Xiao was a little surprised, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

……

"Sigh~Sigh~"

Different from the hoarse and unpleasant calls during the day, Qing Geng's calls at this time were melodious and pleasant, with a bit of clarity and ethereality like the sound of jade colliding.

There is a kind of sound effect with its own echo.

……

"Did you come here specially to thank me?"

The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes couldn't help but deepen.

……

It turned out that during the day, Qing Geng was anxious to find a place to digest the disease at night. Even though he knew that his behavior was too rude to his savior, in order not to show his embarrassed appearance in front of his savior, he still chose to leave in a hurry.

But it remembered Xiao Xiao's breath.

I thought that after it digested the disease, I would come to Xiao Xiao to formally thank him.

……

After all, the human in front of it is its savior.

returning a Favour many times more.

What’s more, it’s a life-saving grace?

If it weren't for this human, it would probably have died in that cage.

……

"You're welcome."

Xiao Xiao bent down slightly, "Hello, Qing Geng, my name is Xiao Xiao."

……

"Sigh~Sigh~"

Hello, Lord Xiao Xiao.

……

Looking at Qing Geng's face full of gratitude and thanks, Xiao Xiao shrugged and said, "Okay, Lord Xiao Xiao is Lord Xiao Xiao."

……

Qing Geng did not stay long. After fully expressing its gratitude, it said goodbye.

……

After living in the human world for a long time, Qing Geng knew that it was time for humans to rest.
