"Mr. Monster is willing to keep helping me..."
"So that means it'll be by my side, right?"
"...Will Mr. Monster stay with me all the time... or will it only appear when Qian Cheng comes?"
"But..."
Song Chuxia shook her head. "If it doesn't stay with me, how will it know when Qian Cheng is coming?"
"...So it's going to stay with me all the time?"
She looked at Master Xiao, her eyes sparkling.
"Is that right, Master Xiao?"
"Mr. Monster will stay with me all the time?"
She could've let it go when she didn't know.
But now she knew...
Her heart began to race.
There was a monster by her side...
She'd never even dreamed of something like this happening.
It was incredible.
She felt like she'd become the heroine of a story.
Ahem~

"...Huh?"
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth lifted.

"But just as you said, if it doesn't stay with you, how will it know when Qian Cheng is coming?"
"So... there's a good chance it'll stay with you all the time."
"Right?"
Song Chuxia's eyes narrowed.
Her smile grew wider and wider.
"Oh my~"
Song Chuxia couldn't help cupping her cheeks with both hands.
"I'm so excited..."
"What are you excited about?"
Li Yan muttered under his breath. "You can't even see it..."
