"Are you full?"
Xiao Xiao asked.
I'm full.
The River God nodded.
"Are you really full?"
Xiao Xiao asked again.
"You don't have to be polite with me."
The River God grinned.
He hadn't been polite with Lord Xiao Xiao.
He really was full.
All right.
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Since he was full...
"Then let's go."
Xiao Xiao stood up.
"Thank you for coming~"
Accompanied by the server's voice, Xiao Xiao and the River God left the hot pot restaurant.
Before them stretched a glittering world of nightlife.
All the shops had lit up their brilliant lights.
They drove away the darkness of the night.
The lights reflected in the River God's eyes.
Shimmering shadows danced in them.
Xiao Xiao walked down the street.
The River God followed half a step behind Lord Xiao Xiao.
He looked around.
He rarely stayed in a human city this late.
At this hour, the human city felt familiar... yet a little strange to him.
After all, everything before him looked just the same as it had during the day.
Nothing had been added or taken away.
Yet the lights had given it a completely different atmosphere.
The River God felt a little wonder.
Especially since he was with Lord Xiao Xiao.
He had never imagined that one day...
he would go window-shopping with a human, in a human city...
What a special experience.
The River God grinned.
He was sure very few monsters had experiences like his.
The sky grew darker.
Xiao Xiao stopped beneath a tree.
He turned around.
"Are you going home?"
"Or do you want to stay with me a little longer?"
The River God blinked.
He looked up.
The night was thick and dark.
The moon
