Xiao Xiao and Bo

After watching the horse run out of sight, Wang Tong finally looked away.

After thinking it over, he decided that since everyone else was riding, he would go for a few laps too.

"Bo, hello. My name is Xiao Xiao."

Wang Tong thought Xiao Xiao was talking to Pink Snow, but he was mistaken.

Smiling, Xiao Xiao introduced himself to the monster before him.

This monster was remarkably self-aware. When Xiao Xiao had left the others just now, it had followed after him with a clop-clop.

Since that was the case, he really had no choice but to run.

"Thump, thump."

Bo's calls sounded like a drumbeat, low and resonant, with a peculiar quality to them.

Seeing how eager and impatient Bo looked, Xiao Xiao smiled. "Then, let's begin."

Before he had finished speaking, Xiao Xiao had already braced one hand on the saddle and swung himself onto the horse.

He took the reins and looked down at Bo. "How about we count to three together, then start?"

"Thump-thump~"

Bo nodded. The little horn on his head swayed with the movement, making Xiao Xiao pause for a moment.

Hmm, a unicorn?

But unlike the pure and noble unicorns of popular imagination, this one clearly had the air of a monster.

A little more savage.

But kindhearted all the same.

Thinking of how this monster had saved the tall, thin boy and Yao Hua earlier, Xiao Xiao's eyes brimmed with amusement.

"One, two—"

"Thump, thump—"

Xiao Xiao turned his head to glance at Bo, only to meet Bo's gaze.

He smiled.

Then he looked ahead. "Three!"

"Thump!"

The instant the sound faded, the two figures shot forward like lightning streaking across the sky.

"Clip-clop~"

Dust and dirt billowed up from the ground.
