This lord wasn't a human who hated monsters.
Otherwise...
Qu Ru figured its fate would have been utterly miserable.
But just because it had been lucky this time didn't mean it would be just as lucky next time.
That lord had warned it, too.
It had to keep a low profile.
Qu Ru looked around the dim room.
Below, a couple walked in, their hands clasped tightly together.
A huge grin spread across its face.
At least...
Here, it could play a few pranks.
Qu Ru flew down.
Xiao Xiao and Su Youjin walked out of the haunted house.
The brilliant sunset dyed the entire sky red.
The amusement park's uniquely shaped streetlamps lit up.
They drew the curious, delighted gazes and cheers of many children.
As far as the eye could see, visitors still milled about in crowds.
Cheerful voices filled the air.
Xiao Xiao turned to Su Youjin. "Are you hungry?"
"Let's go eat first."
"Okay."
Su Youjin nodded.
After dinner and the parade, it was already deep into the night by the time they got back into the car.
The driver slowly started the engine.
The amusement park gradually receded behind them.
Su Youjin's eyes were bright.
She rarely let her emotions show so openly.
The parade had been beautiful.
They had followed the crowd, walking along behind the floats.
Brilliant, multicolored lights had blazed as music filled the air.
Everyone had laughed and shouted without restraint.
Though she didn't much care for crowded places, doing something like this once in a while... wasn't bad.
And besides, Su Youjin turned her face to the side.
The little monster's silvery-gray fur shimmered beneath the endless neon lights outside.
She couldn't help rubbing her cheek gently against Yinzi.
Yinzi was happy, too.
