"Just a feeling."
Little White Fox and the white snake said in unison.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two monsters glared at each other.
A feeling...?
Xiao Xiao nodded in understanding.
Was this what people called a gut feeling?
Or was it like a woman's sixth sense?
Xiao Xiao held the amber up to the sunlight and turned it this way and that.
A breeze passed by, and the fragrance of plum blossoms grew even richer.
He turned around, his eyes crinkling with a smile. "Plum Blossom Woman."
"Are you curious about the monster inside the amber too?"
Plum Blossom Woman gave a slight nod.
She'd only learned that there was a monster inside the amber after hearing Lord Xiao Xiao and the others talking about it.
A monster trapped inside amber?
She'd never heard of such a thing, let alone seen one, so it was only natural that she'd be curious.
In fact, Plum Blossom Woman wasn't the only one interested. The other monsters in the courtyard had gathered around as well.
But they weren't making a fuss.
Everyone was quiet.
The noisiest ones weren't in the courtyard...
They'd gone out with Lord Xiao Xiao earlier.
But Lord Xiao Xiao had returned, and Yue and Ying Shao were nowhere to be seen.
Frog God sat upright on Bo Bo's head and looked around.
The two monsters who never missed a lively gathering in the courtyard were nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Xiao smiled. "I asked Yue and Ying Shao to take care of something for me."
"They won't be back for a while."
If those two monsters found out they'd missed all the excitement when they came back, they'd probably be disappointed, wouldn't they?
After all, they loved a lively gathering more than anyone.
