Chapter 929 The Pain-Fearing Monster

"Let's call Master Xiao here first."

"Maybe Master Xiao can hear us."

Pei You knew that Xiaolu was anxious, so he didn't say much, but gave some suggestions.

In fact, she was also very worried.

After all, it was she who caused this incident.

If she hadn't cared about trivial things, this wouldn't have happened.

As time went by, she became more and more anxious.

……

"Master Xiao."

Pei You called out toward the river tentatively.

Seeing this, Xiaolu put his hands together to his mouth and shouted, "Master Xiao, where are you?"

"Master Xiao!"

"Master Xiao!"

……

The girl's screams echoed above the river.

After a while, the man's voice joined in.

……

Xiao Xiao in the water moved his ears and stopped swimming.

The Drowned Ghost turned his head and looked over in confusion, "Play, play."

"Sorry, Drowned."

Xiao Xiao's words made the Drowned Ghost roll his eyes uneasily.

It swam to Xiao Xiao's side, grabbed his wrist, and looked up at Xiao Xiao with its green eyes unconsciously revealing a hint of hope, "Play, play."

"I want to go back."

Xiao Xiao didn't care about the drowned ghost grabbing his hand.

He patted the monster's head with his free hand.

"Play, play."

The drowned ghost's voice became a little sharper.

Those green eyes looked as if there was water swaying in them.

"Drowned ghost."

Xiao Xiao's voice was light and gentle. He raised the wrist that was grabbed by the drowned ghost and said, "Don't grab the wrist of humans casually in the future."

"Not on your ankles, or anywhere on your body."

“They’ll be scared.”

"There is no way for humans to breathe in water."

"So, if you insist on dragging them to play with you, they will drown."

Seeing the confused look on Drowned Ghost's face, Xiao Xiao changed his words, "That means they can no longer play with you."

"Do you want this?"

"No, no, play, play."

The drowned ghost shook his head and repeated the same words almost stubbornly.

Like a willful child.

Yet there was a hint of grievance.

"Drowned ghost, don't worry."

“Maybe there won’t be any kids coming for a while.”

Seeing the monsters' faces full of confusion, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Because you scared them."

"Avoiding danger is human instinct."

"I think-"

"Why don't you live somewhere farther down the river?"

The people in this area have been scared by this monster twice. It will probably take longer than before for them to relax their vigilance here.

"Change to a river section where there are people to play with you."

"Play with me."

Seeing the monster's eyes sparkling instantly, Xiao Xiao's mouth, which was about to curl up, stopped because of a sudden voice in his heart.

Then, the corners of his mouth gradually straightened.

"My Lord, a drowned ghost cannot leave the waters where he was born."

The waters where you were born?
Is it just this narrow area, not the entire river?
"This drowned ghost doesn't have enough demonic power to break free from the restraints here."

"If its demonic power was stronger, it could go to other sections of the river."

"That is to say, as long as the demon power of this drowned ghost is strong enough, it can go to any body of water."

"That's the theory."

“But it’s difficult.”

Without A Yu telling him, he knew the difficulty.

This requires breaking the innate constraints.

It would not be possible without overwhelming force.

But can’t we even go to the adjacent river sections?
This monster is weak both inside and out.

No wonder Pei You was able to break free from its confinement before.

Although the drowned ghost's hand stretched out of the water, the reduction of strength was also a reason.

Xiao Xiao sighed and smiled helplessly.

"Drowned ghost, if you want to play with human children, then practice hard."

"Change to another section of the river."

"Or maybe by that time, there will be kids here who are willing to come and play again."

"Approach them patiently, don't rush to grab them, and you will meet children who are willing to play with you." "Practice?"

The drowned ghost's eyes shook, as if he was confused, but also seemed to understand.

"Yes, practice."

"Otherwise you won't be able to leave here."

"leave?"

The drowned ghost suddenly sped up and swam forward.

Turning around, he looked at Xiao Xiao and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"what!"

After a distance, the drowned ghost suddenly stopped moving forward.

It curled up as if it had been punched, groaning in pain.

"Drowned ghost."

"Master Xiao!"

Xiao Xiao's voice overlapped with the deer's surprised cry.

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

He looked up, and amid the rippling water, the appearances of Xiaolu, Pei You, and Pei Liang were both clear and blurry.

But the surprise in everyone's eyes was very clear.

He smiled and waved to everyone, signaling them to wait for him for a while.

Then, without waiting for their reaction, Xiao Xiao swam to the drowned ghost who was curled up in a ball.

"Drowned ghost, are you okay?"

"Hey?"

If Pei You hadn't held it back, the deer's face would have been submerged in the water.

"Why did Master Xiao wander off again?"

"He should have asked us to wait a little longer."

Pei Liang recalled Master Xiao's gestures just now and guessed, "He probably hasn't finished his work yet."

"whats the matter?"

Pei You's brows knitted together, "Isn't Master Xiao the only one in the water?"

However, "Master Xiao is fine, it's great."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really scared before.

"Yes."

The fawn quieted down.

After seeing Master Xiao's normal smile, she knew that Master Xiao was fine.

"That's great."

The little deer pursed her lips and smiled with crescent eyes.

"It hurts~"

The drowned ghost raised his head, his green eyes sparkling with tears.

Xiao Xiao:.
"scoff~"

A disdainful snort came from above my head.

Xiao Xiao reached out and touched the drowned ghost's head.

Slippery and cool to the touch.

"I told you that you can't leave here now."

"Do you feel the pain now?"

The drowned ghost looked ahead with some fear.

There was clearly no difference between that place and where it was now, but to it, it was as if it had seen a flood and a ferocious beast.

An unprecedented pain swept through its body.

very scary.

The drowned ghost's eyes were filled with tears.

It will never leave again.

It hurts to leave.

"It's fine."

"When you become stronger, it won't hurt anymore."

"There's nothing that can stop you here, Drowned Ghost."

Xiao Xiao looked at the drowned ghost with a shuddering expression.

"No."

The Drowned Ghost shook his head, "It hurts."

"scoff~"

An even louder nasal breathing sound came from above my head.

Xiao Xiao ignored it.

To be honest, he was also a little surprised.

"Then you can't leave here, and no one will play with you."

"Play."

The Drowned Ghost's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head like a rattle, "No."

"No, it hurts."

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

What a pain-fearing monster.

This monster is really still a child, right?
