The inside...
Ruan Jianjia couldn't see or touch the inside.
Everything she held and touched... was Green Jade's exterior.
As long as the exterior was still Green Jade's...
Ruan Jianjia felt the goosebumps all over her body gradually fade.
"...Why did it take Green Jade's body?"
Ruan Jianjia pressed her lips together.
"Because of you."
A flash of insight struck you.
Xiao Xiao smiled. "Was he seeing a monster?"
"It was."
Had you been in that room the whole time?
Xiao Xiao smiled without answering.
That wasn't it.
No...
"You can't see it?"
"You saw Master Xiao."
"Why can't you see it?"
"It's gone."
Ah!
You were so regretful...
"I wanted to see what the monster really looked like, without Master Xiao's shell."
But...
Xiao Xiao's lips curved.
You recalled what Ruan Jianjia had just said.
Though the thought of having shared a room with a monster and lived alongside it for so many days had given you goosebumps...
It had actually been real...
Judging by Ruan Jianjia's reaction, that monster clearly hadn't been a threat to her.
Huh?
Right...
Wait...
So...
She quickly understood what Master Xiao meant.
You wanted to know how the monster had been dealt with?
A monster!
How could you have seen it?
Green Jade became more and more fluent as she spoke.
Xiao Xiao's words left Green Jade a little confused.
Something wasn't right...
Ruan Jianjia took a deep breath.
"Yes."
A monster!
So sad, so sorrowful, so miserable.
Then hadn't you seen a monster?
"Given that it wasn't wearing Master Xiao's appearance..."
"Wasn't the change in me obvious?"
"I really wanted to see the monster..."
You knew.
Green Jade still found it a little hard to believe.
Green Jade knocked on her head.
Huh...
Huh!?
