The young man behind him took several large steps backward.
He hurriedly lowered his head to look at the painting in his arms.
He had almost crushed the scroll just now.
Fortunately, he had reacted quickly.
Only then had he avoided actually crushing the scroll.
The young man let out a huge sigh of relief.
He patted his chest.
His heart was still beating rapidly.
"Student Xiao?"
He called out in confusion.
Why had he suddenly leaned backward for no reason?
Xiao Xiao was also startled.
The moment he opened the door, Shu Hu had pounced at him.
He raised a hand and held a certain demon's forehead back.
Hearing the young man's words, he turned his face slightly. "You should ask this demon."
"Shu Hu~ Shu Hu~"
The demon shook its head and retreated a little.
Its eyes sparkled as it stared at Xiao Xiao.
"I know."
Xiao Xiao had already deeply sensed a certain demon's desperate eagerness.
But that was understandable.
After spending so many days on this, it was finally about to take back the stone. It was normal for the demon to be excited.
He was just about to say something when he seemed to notice something and lowered his head.
"It's fine now."
His inexplicable words left Shu Hu and the young man stunned.
"Shu Hu~ (What's fine now?)"
Shu Hu and the human asked almost in unison.
Xiao Xiao reminded the demon, "Look at where you are now."
"Shu Hu~"
The demon tilted its head.
Looking utterly bewildered, it lowered its head.
Where was it?
What kind of question was that?
It—
The demon widened its eyes.
"Shu~~"
It discovered that, at some unknown point, it had actually stepped into the room?!
It clearly hadn't been able to succeed no matter how hard
