Xi Qu saw that the human before him showed no reaction, and instinctively felt a wave of relief.
Then, because of that very reaction, Xi Qu's face turned an ugly shade of purple.
"Waa~ Waa..."
Xi Qu quickly stopped agonizing over it and continued answering.
He was already in such a sorry state. He might as well accept it—he wasn't afraid of looking even more pathetic.
If he made it through this, he'd absolutely steer clear of any human accompanied by a monster!
"Waa~ Waaa..."
I found the river.
But I didn't see the human child.
I was confused.
The human child's scent disappeared here.
It seemed incredible, but I thought, could the human child have fallen into the river?
I wasn't willing to give up, so I searched the river for a while.
I didn't find her.
Maybe she'd already been carried away by the current.
It was a pity, but I gave up.
I don't like dead people.
They're too hard to—
Ahem~
Xi Qu cleared his throat twice more, forcing himself to swallow the last two words: "eat them."
Why did he keep saying his thoughts out loud?
He hurriedly changed the subject. "Waa~ Waaa..."
What an idiot.
How did she manage to fall into such an obvious river?
If she was going to die anyway, she might as well have been eaten by me—
Ahem~ Ahem~
Xi Qu really choked on his own saliva this time and began coughing as if his lungs were about to tear.
The violent movement made every wound on his body ache.
His one undamaged eye grew a little moist.
Xiao Xiao listened quietly to Xi Qu's account.
A thoughtful look crossed his face.
When the monster finally stopped coughing, he slowly stood up. "Take me to the river."
