Xiao Xiao looked at Spirit Maple. "Is this why you called me here?"
Spirit Maple nodded.
"It seems..."
Xiao Xiao looked over the monster, who stared at him with wide eyes, wary yet curious. "It doesn't seem to mean any harm."
"It's too annoying."
Spirit Maple spoke in an even tone, but its slightly furrowed brows revealed its impatience.
"More annoying than that wasp."
A hint of amusement crept into Xiao Xiao's eyes.
"I see."
"More annoying than Wenwen."
Noticing the amusement on Xiao Xiao's face, Spirit Maple looked straight at him, its expression unreadable.
"Ahem~"
Xiao Xiao cleared his throat and got back to the point. "So what do you want me to do?"
"Make it leave?"
"Hey."
Spirit Maple looked at the monster, which had turned toward it at the sound of its voice. "You can tell Lord Xiao Xiao about your problem."
"If Lord Xiao Xiao is willing, perhaps he can help you."
Xiao Xiao was taken aback, then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
So this was why Spirit Maple had called him here.
He'd been a little puzzled before. If it were only because this monster was too noisy, then given Spirit Maple's temperament, it wouldn't have gone out of its way to summon him.
Spirit Maple looked aloof, but it wasn't actually cold-hearted.
Noticing the curve of Xiao Xiao's lips, Spirit Maple pressed its lips together. Its faintly furrowed brows drew together even tighter.
"It keeps going on and on about that thing."
"It's annoying."
"If you can help it, then help it."
"If you can't, take it wherever you want."
"Just don't let it bother me here anymore."
Xiao Xiao smiled and agreed. "All right."
"Then could you tell me what this is about?"
"Ask it."
