Xiao Xiao:...
He couldn't help smiling.
"That's right."
"You still have plenty of time."
"No need to rush."
"You'll become very powerful."
Xiao Xiao's lips curved into a smile.
"Mm."
The little monster quickly perked up.
"Hehe."
It had always been an optimist.
Otherwise, after seeing so many humans have bad luck, it might have become suspicious of everything too, constantly worrying that it would suffer bad luck if it let its guard down.
Besides, it wasn't as stupid as humans.
A hint of smugness appeared on the little monster's face.
But soon, it furrowed its brow.
It realized that although it wasn't as stupid as humans,
it didn't seem to be as capable as them either...
It looked at the human...
It had noticed earlier that this human could see it.
That had surprised it.
Because of its size, unless it wanted to be seen, most humans—specifically, the humans who were capable of seeing it—rarely spotted it right away.
Maybe it had gotten careless after going so long without meeting a human who could see it?
At any rate, when its eyes met the human's, it had foolishly frozen.
The human quickly looked away.
When it came to its senses, it realized that it had actually hidden itself?
It was a little annoyed with itself.
But it was also relieved that the human hadn't noticed its humiliating behavior.
It had seen the monster beside the human.
After all, they were both monsters, and monsters were sensitive to the presence of their own kind.
Even though it had only caught a brief glimpse, it hadn't examined the monster very closely.
It was afraid of drawing the monster's attention.
And, in turn, the human's.
The Heavenly Maiden had only seen Feifei.
As for Taotie...
