Taotie jumped onto the fence in front of Xiao Xiao and stretched out his claws, feeling quite confident.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Because the compensation given to it was shared with other monsters, this glutton demands additional compensation?
A faint smile appeared in his eyes. "Little Taotie, I originally bought one of the boxes for them."
"Everything I bought for you ended up in your stomach."
Taotie was stunned for a moment, then...
Xiao Xiao twitched his eyebrows and looked at the Taotie rolling around in front of him, quite speechless.
Why does he feel that this monster has become smaller and even its temperament has changed?
But he didn't know what Taotie looked like before he was sealed.
I always hear this monster talk about how majestic and domineering he used to be...
He felt that a certain monster probably lacked a clear understanding of himself.
...
"alright."
He reached out and rubbed his temples, "I'll go to the cake shop on my way back later."
"Woo~"
Taotie immediately stood up and squatted on the fence, looking well-behaved.
Xiao Xiao shook his head in amusement, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Let's go."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a heavy weight on his head, and Taotie had fallen back on top of his head.
Xiao Xiao:......
...
"Little Taotie."
Xiao Xiao's voice was gentle, even a little soft.
However, Taotie was trembling all over, and his body that was about to lie down froze.
"...Woo~"
Taotie made some careful noises.
"Are your paws clean?"
Xiao Xiao spat out each word one by one, his face turned a little dark.
When he thought of a certain monster that was jumping around on the ground just now, it was now back on his head...
He felt like stewing this monster.
"Woo..."
Taotie couldn't help but reveal a guilty smile.
It looked at its paws.
It's just pitch black and you can't tell whether it's dirty or not?
So, probably, it should be... not dirty, right?
…
Xiao Xiao lifted the Taotie off his head.
Knowing that Xiao Xiao was angry, Taotie was extremely cooperative and stayed still while Xiao Xiao wiped its four paws over and over again with a tissue.
The corners of his mouth widened, and a slightly flattering smile appeared on Taotie's face.
Xiao Xiao:......
He twitched the corners of his mouth.
Forget it, I've already stepped on it. Unless I can turn back time and save it, nothing I can do now will help.
He brought Taotie in front of him, his eyebrows slightly curved, but he exuded a sharp aura, "Little Taotie, I'm not going to set an example."
"Woo~"
Taotie nodded vigorously and grinned even wider.
…
This silly smile.
Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to stare and looked away.
He patted his hair and put the Taotie back on his head.
…
"...wuwu..."
After a while of silence, Taotie asked cautiously when he saw Xiao Xiao walking out of the building.
Is there any compensation for it?
Xiao Xiao:......
He finally smiled helplessly, "Yes."
"One thing leads to another."
"The compensation is what I promised you before."
"I won't miss you."
"Ouch-"
"Woo~"
Taotie lowered his voice and let out a restrained cheer.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but have a faint smile in his eyes.
…
The next day, Xiao Xiao received a call from Grandpa Xiao.
There's something strange about him.
"grandfather?"
"Xiaoxiao, have you bought the chess book?"
The old man's angry voice came.
"bought."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Didn't he say before that he was not in a hurry?
"Grandpa, if you want to see it, I-"
"no, I'm fine."
The old man hurriedly denied it, but he was a little excited and said, "No need to send it back!"
Xiao Xiao thoughtfully said, "...Grandpa, what happened?"
"It's nothing."
The old man seemed to know that his attitude just now was exposed, but he did not deny it too firmly, "Just don't go back to the teahouse during this period."
"Save the trouble of visiting."
The old man lowered his voice in the last sentence and just muttered in a low voice.
Xiao Xiao heard it clearly.
Would you like to come to your door?
What trouble is coming?
...
"grandfather."
Xiao Xiao's tone increased a bit.
"......Why."
The old man was silent for a while, then sighed, "I still can't hide it from you."
"My grandson is smart."
The old man became proud again.
...
"My grandson is smart."
"But it's true that you are stupid."
"It only took two sentences and it was revealed."
...
"grandmother."
Xiao Xiao shouted.
Then the sound of Grandpa Xiao's angry retort mixed with Grandma's cheerful response came to my ears.
"What are you talking about, old woman?"
"Hey, I'm grandma."
...
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
At this time, the other end of the phone was obviously quite lively.
...
"Did I said wrong thing?"
"You old woman."
"You old man."
...
Xiao Xiao:......
There was a look of helplessness on his face.
"grandparents."
"Why."
Grandpa Xiao's voice became clear again, "Yes, yes."
"Ignore your grandma."
"Why is she joining in the fun when I call my grandson?"
"eventful."
Xiao Xiao heard the Xiao family's grandma complaining again.
"That's my grandson too."
"Are you responsible for finding me when I'm talking to my grandson?"
...
"You old woman."
Grandpa Xiao was a little speechless.
Then he hurriedly said a few words to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, let's do this for now."
"I'm hanging up."
"Then I'll be back in the afternoon."
Grandpa Xiao was about to press the phone but his finger paused.
Then he showed a wry smile and said, "You kid, you still know how to threaten your grandfather."
"Grandpa changed the subject first."
Xiao Xiao did not recognize Grandpa Xiao's "conviction" against him.
"well."
The old man shook his head, "It's my fault."
"grandfather."
Xiao Xiao didn't give the old man another chance to talk about him, and went straight to the point, "What happened?"
"Since you specifically called me to ask me not to go home..."
"Does...this matter have something to do with me?"
Xiao Xiao guessed, "Is...someone looking for me?"
The only sound on the other end of the phone was the old man's breathing.
After a while, the old man said with a bit of a wry smile, "You kid, you are so smart."
"Okay, I won't hide it from you anymore."
The old man gave up his original plan.
There is no way, there is no way to hide this.
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
The grandson was worried, so the old man emphasized this point first, "It's true that it's a little annoying."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao responded without saying anything, quietly listening to the old man's narration.
"After all, it's still the old wooden pot."
"Grandpa Mu?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but make a sound.
He was a little surprised. Is this matter related to Grandpa Mu?
He became even more curious about what Grandpa Xiao said next.
...
"It's not that old wood."
Grandpa Xiao was quite angry, "I don't have any control over my words."
"It's known that you helped Xiaomu solve a big problem."
