The other party had acted so naturally that Qing Ji couldn't help feeling uncertain.
Qing Ji was rather curious about the answer.
If it had misunderstood, that was fine.
But if the other party really could see it...
How long had it been...
A grown human had seen it, for the first time since those children.
It found the experience rather novel.
Qing Ji followed the human.
Before it could figure out how to strike up a conversation with him, the other party stopped.
It blinked in surprise.
The little horse raised its foreleg and stopped, too.
Just as it was starting to feel puzzled, the other party spoke to it...
It was a little startled.
Only a little.
After all, it had come here to find out whether the other party could really see it.
Now it had its answer.
He really could see it.
"Could I trouble you to take me to find this child?"
Seeing the little monster looking distracted, Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I've been looking for this child for a long time."
Qing Ji tilted its head.
Take this human to find that child?
Hmm...
It didn't seem to have any reason to refuse.
It nodded.
"Okay."
Ever since it had seen this human, it had lost interest in that child.
It didn't feel like playing chase and hide-and-seek anymore.
It was more interested in this human now.
Especially after discovering the monster beside him.
It had nearly overlooked the monster beside this human.
That surprised even Qing Ji.
The fox in the human's arms must have been too distracting.
It had instinctively assumed that the one on the human's shoulder was an ordinary animal, too.
Not a monster.
It was a weak monster.
That was Qing Ji's conclusion
