Xiao Xiao looked toward the child...and the monster beside him.
Because the child had changed position, the monster had moved with him.
The monster saw Xiao Xiao.
Zhen was clearly stunned.
This human...
This human again...
Wariness rose in Zhen's heart.
They really were...
far too fated to meet, weren't they?
How could they keep running into each other so many times in such a short period?
This human...
Really wasn't following it?
Was there...
some other motive?
Could it be...
Zhen's gaze swept first over the pitch-black monster atop the human's head, then over the white-and-red-patterned monster perched on the human's shoulder.
Did this human want to turn it into one of them too?
Zhen's heart jolted.
Did this human want to...subdue it!?
Did he want to imprison it!?
Every hair on Zhen's body stood on end.
Its face was filled with guardedness.
This human had better not get any ideas.
It wasn't like these two weak monsters.
It wouldn't simply let someone do whatever they wanted to it.
This human had no idea what he was in for if he tried provoking its fury.
Xiao Xiao's brows rose slightly.
Watching the rapid change in Zhen's expression and the aura around it, he lightly touched his own face.
He seemed to have...
only smiled at this monster?
Out of courtesy, he had given this monster a friendly greeting.
Why...
was the monster reacting as though...
he had done something terribly offensive?
Xiao Xiao felt rather innocent.
He clearly hadn't done anything.
All he could do was sigh inwardly: this was another extremely sensitive monster.
That didn't quite match his understanding of monsters.
He had thought monsters were generally more carefree.
More...
slow-witted?
They shouldn't react so strongly to the slightest detail.
