"Yo~"
Zhuge Yun murmured in admiration. "Not bad, A Jiu."
That tail had been fast, fierce, and precise...
Still, he leaned forward a little farther.
Just now...
Had that been a coincidence?
No, no.
Zhuge Yun shook his head.
Now that he knew the Big Bear Doll wasn't ordinary, he didn't believe that scene had been a coincidence.
Who would've thought...
The big bear, which looked so clumsy, could move with such surprising agility.
That made sense.
It wasn't just a bear, after all.
Who knew what kind of monster was inside it?
"Looks like A Jiu is pretty interested in the Big Bear Doll, too."
Zhang Bo sounded thoughtful.
"A Jiu was so cool just now."
Zhao Luzheng's eyes shone.
A Jiu had never seemed like an ordinary fox.
It was especially beautiful.
And especially clever.
Who would've thought it was also so capable?
That move just now would've been impossible to dodge—not only for an ordinary animal, but for an ordinary person, too.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Everyone, get some rest."
He returned to his bed.
Zhang Bo and the others kept staring at the Big Bear Doll for a while longer, until their heavy eyelids finally made them give up on observing it.
The room finally fell completely silent.
But soon, Zhang Bo's snoring broke the quiet.
The Big Bear Doll, which had been leaning crookedly against the desk, had already been set upright by Xiao Xiao.
A faint glimmer appeared in its black crystal eyes.
"Ah!"
Zhao Luzheng cried out.
"What is it, Third Brother?"
Zhuge Yun sat up in bed, his eyes half-open and his face drowsy. "You're really energetic first thing in the morning."
"The honey's gone!"
Zhao Luzheng held up the glass jar that had been full of honey.
