Little Taotie unconsciously held its breath.
Xiao Xiao started walking again.
As if nothing had happened.
Little Taotie: ...
Huh?
Little Taotie was a little confused.

Unable to figure it out, Little Taotie simply gave up.
At least Lord Xiao Xiao was walking normally now.

It was also a way to change the subject.
