Seeing that scene unfold, Lou Jun Yao could not help but feel a little puzzled. What is going on here?
Little Monster was the one who opened his mouth first. “This is…..”
When he heard that, Qing Bei then remembered something important. He immediately turned to Lou Jun Yao and said: “This is a spirit pet that Qing Yu brought back from the time when we went to Hades’ Canyon and it has not left Qing Yu’s side ever since. I think that Qing Yu must have sent it out to come look for us.”
Lou Jun Yao then turned his gaze onto the black little beast in Qing Bei’s arms and said in a deep voice: “Did she ask you to come?”
Meatball shrank back from the man. For some unknown reason, Meatball was fearful of this man. And it because this man had blocked its escape just now that caused it to be revealed to everyone here.
Its eyes then unconsciously swiveled to the side, to look at Little Monster who was looking at it with equal curiosity. Its tiny mouth stiffened up, thinking that these two men who were staring at it with strange looks in their eyes felt rather terrifying.
The entire time that it had passed through the large and myriad crowd out there, not a single person had discovered its presence. In the end, it had just come in here for a little while and it was immediately found out.
That moment that the little beast hesitated in its terrified daze, the man seemed to lose a little bit of his patience when his violet eyes turned a deeper shade, and the surrounding air felt like it was freezing up.
Meatball snapped right back to its senses, quickly nodding its head. “Mo….. Mother told me to come see what things are like out here, and to….. to come tell Uncle here that she is all safe and well.”
The little fella was quite intelligent, knowing how to read the situation. Seeing that the man’s face did not seem right, it immediately blurted out the truth.
But it had just finished saying those words when Lou Jun Yao’s face turned even stranger as he asked: “You call her….. Mother?”
“Yup! She is my Mother afterall.” Meatball’s delicately beautiful face beamed proudly, as it nodded its head adorably.
“Hmm.” Lou Jun Yao then raised his head up slightly. “I am then Father.”
“Pffft~~”
Xun Luo who had been watching the conversation between man and beast in amazement suddenly burst out laughing before he could hold himself back.
Little Monster curved up the corners of his lips and although he did not laugh out loud, the expression on his face was one of unmistakable mirth and amusement.
But the most astounded one among them all, would of course be none other than the little beast itself.
Its large limpid eyes staring wide with shock, it seemed to be slowly digesting the news it just heard.
“Alright. Back to what’s most important. How is she doing? Is she hurt?” Lou Jun Yao opened his mouth to ask.
“Mother isn’t hurt. She is imprisoned in a certain place, and the artifact used to hold her is very special, so she is unable to free herself from it.”
Lou Jun Yao’s brows creased up. Looks like he has to go up there as quickly as possible.
“Where did we just stop earlier? Oh right. Go back to the Dark Lands to bring a high leveled spirit beast to intimidate those strange birds down in the gorge or they might pose to be quite a problem.” Xun Luo opened his mouth to say.
“No need to go to so much trouble. We have a ready one right here.” Little Monster curved up his lips in a smile, and said softly.
“Huh?”
Xun Luo was taken aback for a moment and it took him another half a heartbeat before he was able to react to what the guy just said. His eyes turned slowly inch by inch towards the tiny adorable palm sized little ball of coal cradled in Qing Bei’s arms.
A twitch tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Are you pulling my leg here…..”
At that size, it might not even be enough to fill the gap between the teeth of those strange birds you know?
Sensing the doubt in Xun Luo’s eyes, Little Monster could not help shaking his head as he looked at the adorable little beast still licking its paw and said: “That just shows how ignorant you are…..”
