Chapter 932 The Third Question

Pei You only heard the voice vaguely.

Can't tell male from female.

It has a bit of innocence and childishness, and sounds like a child's voice.

She even wondered if the owner of this mysterious voice might be the ghost of a child who had drowned in the river.

Now, the answer is about to be revealed.

The girl waited with bated breath.

"It's a monster."

Xiao Xiao's answer was still crisp and clear.

But everyone present widened their eyes, "Monster, monster?"

Everyone was speechless, looking so shocked that their jaws were about to drop.

There is something incredible in his eyes and eyebrows.

Master Xiao said that ghosts are more reliable than monsters.

Aren’t monsters just fictional creatures?
How could it really exist?

Pei You pulled his cheeks, closed his mouth, and then asked hesitantly, "Master Xiao, the monster you are talking about...is it the kind of monster I understand?"

"It's... that kind of..."

She was speechless for a moment. She had obviously watched many animations and read novels about monsters before, but now her mind was blank and she didn't know how to describe her problem.

……

Xiao Xiao curled his lips and kindly reminded: "This is the last question."

"Are you sure you're asking this?"

"If you're sure—"

"and many more!"

This was the loudest volume Xiao Xiao had ever heard since he met this girl.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying anything.

"That's not it!"

Pei You said hurriedly, and when she saw Xiao Xiao close his mouth, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It scared her to death!

"Master Xiao, you are too stingy!"

Xiaolu, who was just as relieved as Peiyou, couldn't help but complain, "How can this be considered a problem?"

Xiao Xiao glanced at her with a smile.

"...Well, this is indeed a problem."

Xiao Lu was listless, with puffy cheeks, still mumbling unwillingly, "Can't you just treat this as an extension of the previous question, or an additional question?"

"In fact, Master Xiao's reminder is kind enough, isn't it?"

Pei Liang smiled bitterly.

Otherwise, just answer the question directly and then tell them: Three questions have been asked and the question answering ends here.

Then they would really be in tears.

"……Too."

The little deer twitched his lips.

If Master Xiao really did that, she...she would have no choice.

Being persistent, acting coquettish and cute?
I always feel like she's going to get hit.

Thinking of the reaction Master Xiao had given her before, she silently dismissed the idea.

……

"Last question."

The fawn whispered softly.

She looked at Pei You.

Pei Liang looked at Pei You.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and helped the little white fox stroke its fur.

Silence returned to the room.

……

"Master Xiao."

After pondering for longer than last time, Pei You raised his head, "Can I see it?"

Of course she had a lot of questions to ask.

Like what kind of monster is that? Has it always lived in that river?

Was it the cause of all the drownings of children in the past?
Maybe it just wants someone to play with it, and it doesn't have any bad intentions...

However, she was left with only one question.

After struggling for a long time, she finally chose this question.

Since Master Xiao said that it was a monster, and since she had also heard the incredible sound, then what she wanted most was to see the monster.

Pei You clasped his hands together, leaned forward involuntarily, and stared at Master Xiao with burning eyes.

There was unconcealable anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.

……

"Whether you can see it or not is up to you to ask yourself."

Pei You was stunned by Xiao Xiao's words, "Did you see that just now?"

Just now? "When I was in the water, did you see anything else besides me?"

Xiao Xiao's question left Pei You speechless. He felt a sense of disappointment that it was just as he expected. Even though he had expected it, he still couldn't help feeling low and frustrated.

"No."

"I didn't see anything."

Pei You hung his head, looking depressed.

Pei Liang patted his sister's head comfortingly.

"Brother, did you see that?"

Pei You grabbed Pei Liang's sleeve and tugged at it, and asked in a low voice.

"No."

Pei Liang also felt a little regretful.

Monsters, if they really exist, everyone would want to see one, right?

"Where's the deer?"

Pei You asked the last person who was present at the time.

"If I had seen it I would have called out."

Xiaolu was no less disappointed than Pei You.

It was fine that I had always thought that monsters didn't exist, but now that I know that monsters are real, and yet I can't see them, you can imagine the gap.

It's so uncomfortable.

"Ah~ I really want to see what a monster looks like!"

Xiaolu grabbed Peiyou's sleeve and shook it hard.

"Me too."

Pei You looked at Master Xiao, "Really... there is no way?"

"Ah, Master Xiao, you're not going to say that the three questions have arrived and this one will not be answered, right?"

The deer asked nervously.

"I didn't think so at first, but after you reminded me, I think so too."

Xiao Xiao said seriously, "Since we agreed that there will be three questions, then these are the three questions."

"Master Xiao!"

When Xiaolu heard this, he got anxious and almost jumped up from his seat. "Oh, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Did I just speak?"

"No!"

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He looked at Pei You, who had been waiting for his answer with an almost stubborn look, and said, "There is no way."

The girl slowly lowered her head.

"Master Xiao, you are too direct."

Xiaolu reached out and patted Peiyou's shoulder.

Pei You ruffled his sister's hair.

"but-"

Everyone looked up suddenly, "I don't know about the others."

"Pei You, didn't you hear the monster's voice before?"

"If it were you, maybe you would be able to see a monster someday in the future."

Seeing the girl's suddenly bright face, Xiao Xiao poured a bucket of cold water on her, "This is just the best guess."

"Perhaps you will only be able to hear a few fragments of the words, and maybe in the end you won't even be able to hear the monster's voice."

“Not to mention seeing them.”

The girl's eyes gradually dimmed.

"Master Xiao!"

Xiaolu held his forehead with his hand, "You don't have to be so straightforward."

Xiao Xiao curled his lips and said, "I just said all the possibilities."

"As for the results, we will have to let time prove it."

"Xiaoyu."

Xiaolu smiled energetically and clenched his fists, "You can hear the monster's voice."

"You'll definitely see monsters in the back!"

"But I only heard the sound once."

Pei You whispered.

She didn’t know if she would be able to hear the monster’s voice again in the future.

"That's much better than me and your brother."

"Let's not talk about the appearance. We didn't even hear the sound."

"Is that right, Brother Pei Liang?"

"Yes, little girl, you are already much better than us, why are you still not happy?"

"Aren't we going to cry to death then?"
