Xiao Xiao hadn't noticed any major difference between the two Qin Yuan.
Aside from its size: the one before him was a bit smaller than the one he'd encountered at school.

"No."
Little White Fox rolled its eyes at Xiao Xiao. "How could there be a monster like that?"
"Monsters are judged by strength, not gender."
"I thought so."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
Qin Yuan looked strangely at the human across from it, who was talking to himself.

Noticing its strange gaze, Xiao Xiao looked back at Qin Yuan.
"Qin Yuan."
"Do you like flowers?"
Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
Qin Yuan nodded honestly.
"Xu xu~"
Flowers smelled nice.
"Xu xu~ xu..."
It liked pleasant scents.
It didn't like the smell of its own body.
It smelled awful.
It liked the fragrance of flowers.
So it wanted to smell like flowers, too.
Xiao Xiao didn't even need to ask anything else. Qin Yuan had already volunteered everything.
Xiao Xiao thought of Shaggy Ghost.

He hadn't needed to ask one thing at a time.

Xiao Xiao pondered.

Clearly, the monster was quite pleased with its solution.
And it was very satisfied with how it smelled
