When had it, too, come to feel affection?
As expected, after following several enforcers, it had slowly begun to develop human emotions, just like them?
Even if only a little.
It was hard to say whether that was good or bad...
Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from White Plum Blossom.
The dragon's shadow had vanished from before him.
"ssss~ Lord Xiao Xiao."
The white snake's cool tail brushed against Xiao Xiao's face. "What are you spacing out for?"
No one besides Xiao Xiao and A Yu had heard their conversation just now.
"Enforcer, have you started having doubts about your identity as an enforcer?"
The white fox looked at Xiao Xiao sidelong, languidly.
Then it complained, "Humans are such a bother,"
"with such short lives, yet they're always thinking about so much."
"Can't be helped."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help smiling. Wasn't that the truth?
He rubbed the little white fox's head. "The human mind is complicated."
"Oh."
The little white fox rolled its eyes. "I think there's a saying that describes you humans perfectly."
"What saying?"
Xiao Xiao lifted his hand and smiled at the white snake, which had coiled around his wrist again and reared up.
A Bai had tied another bow around his hand.
"Wor-ry-ing o-ver noth-ing."
The little white fox enunciated each word.
Every so often, it thought humans were pretty clever.
At least when it came to understanding themselves, they had a fair bit of self-awareness.
Look, what a perfectly coined phrase.
It really thought that saying suited humans to a T.
Xiao Xiao paused.
Then he couldn't help chuckling softly.
"Heh heh~"
Worrying over nothing?
The little white fox swished its tail and raised the corners of its eyes. "What's wrong? Did I get it wrong?"
"No."
Xiao Xiao stopped laughing.
