"What trouble had Spirit Maple run into?"
Xu Qingzhu couldn't help asking right away.
"A lost monster had asked it for help, so it came to me."
Xiao Xiao briefly explained the situation.
"Huh?"
After a moment's hesitation, Xu Qingzhu nodded in understanding. "Oh."
"A lost monster?"
He couldn't help glancing at the space beside Master Xiao.
"Then you..."
"It..."
There was so much he wanted to ask that, for a moment, he didn't know how to put it.
Xiao Xiao smiled knowingly. "It's right beside me."
"I'm going to take it to its friend now."
"Uncle Xu, if you're free, could you give us a ride?"
"Oh, of course."
Xu Qingzhu nodded. "I'm free."
His gaze unconsciously swept over Master Xiao once more.
As expected, he couldn't see anything.
He sighed inwardly, then smiled. "Master Xiao, you're too polite."
"Just tell me where you want to go, and I'll make sure you get there."
"Thank you."
Xiao Xiao smiled. "I'm going to Fragrant Hills."
"Get in."
Xiao Xiao's words left the monster somewhat bewildered.
It tilted its head and looked at the big metal box in front of it.
Get in?
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao demonstrated.
He got into the car, then got back out.
The monster tentatively placed a paw inside the car.
When Lord Xiao Xiao nodded at it, it climbed all the way in.
"Are you uncomfortable?"
Xiao Xiao asked.
Xu Qingzhu's car was spacious.
But the monster was quite large, too.
It could sit, but it wouldn't be able to move around much.
"Mm~"
The monster shook its head and gazed around the car with curiosity.
Xiao Xiao closed the rear door.
Then he got in as well.
He took the passenger seat.
"Uncle Xu, you can drive."
Xu Qingzhu tore his gaze away
