That buck... had used its antlers to pull the dyed-hair boy's backpack off?!
Th-this...
Meng Jixi closed his hanging mouth, rubbed his chin, and gave an amused smile.
"See? We asked you to cooperate earlier and let us have a look in your backpacks."
"You refused."
"And now Little Deer's kin have come to find her themselves."
"Tsk, tsk. This is a little awkward."
It was only when the backpack strap slid off his shoulder that the dyed-hair boy reacted.
That deer's target had actually been his backpack?!
Why?
Had it noticed something?
How could that be?!
He gaped in shock.
But the fear in his heart eased considerably.
At least the deer wasn't trying to hurt him.
But it wasn't hurting him now. That didn't mean it wouldn't later.
The dyed-hair boy pressed his lips together.
He gripped the backpack straps tightly.
This backpack... He couldn't let the deer have it!
"What are you standing around for?"
The dyed-hair boy looked at the other three boys, his face red with exertion. This deer was incredibly strong. "Hurry up and help me!"
"Ah, o-okay."
The other three boys immediately went over to him.
"Tch. Picking on one person with a crowd."
Meng Jixi smacked his lips as he came over to Xiao Xiao. "I'll go help the deer."
"No need."
Xiao Xiao stopped Meng Jixi. "Someone's already... helping it."
Meng Jixi understood at once.
He pulled back the foot he'd stepped forward.
"Wawa~ Wawa~"
The Wangliang ghost cried out angrily.
These humans were bullying its friend.
It was going to pounce on them.
Then it suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Lord Xiao Xiao.
Lord Xiao Xiao hadn't let it take this human's backpack earlier...
It wondered if Lord Xiao Xiao would stop it
