"Maybe it's because I'm weak that I'm extra sentimental."
Xiao Xiao didn't mind Yuan Tao saying that human beings were weak. After all, in the eyes of Yuan Tao, who had lived for hundreds of years, human beings who had to go through life, old age, sickness and death were indeed weak.
However, the reason why fireworks touch people's hearts is because of their fleetingness; the reason why tragedy shocks people's hearts is because of its imperfect ending.
Although human beings are weak, in a sense, they are incomparably powerful.
No amount of suffering can erase the bright light of humanity.
What confuses or even makes me lose my mind is this light of humanity. Human beings are timid, despicable, cowardly, and cruel, but they are also fearless, noble, brave, and compassionate.
Human beings seem to be fragile and vulnerable, yet incredibly resilient.
Human beings are indeed a complex, ever-changing and contradictory species.
The monster is still much simpler.
Well, except for the cunning and coquettish fox, who seemed to have recalled some unpleasant memory, and the fox frowned in disgust.
…
"A weakling who thinks so much is asking for trouble."
Yuan was silent for a while, and his strange tone had an ups and downs rhythm, which was a bit disdainful, but not offensive.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "It's just because I'm weak that I think too much."
Because I know how hard it is to live, I cherish the short time more and never miss the scenery along the way.
You are always greedy to get more, and you will not be reconciled to what you have now. Even if you sometimes hesitate to move forward, sometimes go around in circles or even go backwards, the life of groping forward is the real life.
…
A gust of wind blew by, "Rustling~" The maple forest made a clear and sweet sound of branches and leaves colliding. The fiery red maple forest swayed, and the maple leaves danced gracefully. Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his clothes were hunting, and his expression was a bit distant. .
From a high place, overlooking the maple forest, the layers of forest are dyed with undulating waves. It is truly picturesque and intoxicating with the autumn mood.
"Coffee~"
The sudden strong wind made Feifei a little excited, and his soft hair was fluttering and swaying, as if a little sparkling light was shining in the air.
Feifei's eyes were shining as he stared at the rolling maple forest below, his eyes unblinking and brilliant.
"Ouch~"
As if disturbed by the swaying of leaves blown by the wind, Taotie's eyes opened slightly as he slept, and he glanced around impatiently.
"Who are these two?"
Yuan Tao finally turned his attention to the two monsters brought by Xiao Xiao.
It originally wanted to ask, but later Xiao Xiao's sudden request disrupted its rhythm, and the couple passing behind also attracted its attention.
So now when I heard the voices of the two monsters, I suddenly remembered my original question and asked it.
Xiao Xiao was stunned and realized that he had never introduced Feifei and Taotie.
"鸰颴, this is Feifei."
"Coffee~"
Feifei raised his head and called softly to the owl. Feifei always had a good attitude towards beautiful creatures.
Xiao Xiao was also a little helpless about Feifei's appearance control attributes.
"This is Taotie."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at the monster lying on his head. The introduced monster lazily opened its eyes and met the pair of dark and deep pupils. His eyes flickered. This monster was very strong.
Of course, my former self was not afraid, but now that I am sealed, I should be careful.
The feeling of suffocation that suddenly arose again made Taotie grind his teeth in displeasure.
It really wants to swallow up the bastard who sealed it.
However, it happened that it had no memory at all of the fact that it was sealed, and could not remember anything.
He thought about it over and over again, his head felt swollen and painful, but he still couldn't think of anything.
It's like that memory never existed.
If Taotie hadn't been very sure of how majestic it was before, it would have suspected that everything was just a dream.
Taotie quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep again, unable to see anything.
…
"Taotie?"
There was a flash of surprise in Yuan's eyes, and if it wasn't for the fact that his cultivation had not penetrated deep into his bones, he would probably have screamed out in surprise.
However, Yuantai looked at the monster lying on Xiao Xiao's head.
so small.
Moreover, it feels like the demonic power is very weak.
Is it really Taotie?
How could there be such a weak Taotie?
Taotie is definitely a unique monster, born with great power.
Even a Taotie cub shouldn't be as weak as the Taotie in front of me.
...
"Phiphi, Taotie, this is the Taotie."
"Coffee~"
Feifei said hello very actively, and the rare enthusiasm made Xiao Xiao laugh a little, this guy.
"Hmm~"
Taotie closed his eyes and responded perfunctorily. It didn't have a good look on monsters that were stronger than itself.
If it were my old self, hum.
Taotie only thinks that there is a monster more unlucky than himself?
No, is it such an unlucky big demon?!
The majestic ancient demon, not only was sealed, but was sealed inexplicably. Even if he wanted to find someone to take revenge on, he couldn't find him.
It was all bitter tears, and Taotie couldn't help but stretch out his paw to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.
…
After Luo Tao responded politely to Fei Fei, he turned all his attention to the monster suspected of being Taotie.
It looks exactly like the one in the legend.
So, is it injured?
The demonic aura around Yuantai became a little stronger, and he could feel the demonic aura on Taotie's body.
Wait, it seems to have discovered something extraordinary.
Is this... a seal?
Just the faintest hint of aura leaking makes the mandarin jealous.
Yuantai stopped his inquiring.
It turns out it was sealed.
However, who is this powerful person? He actually sealed a Taotie?
The eyes of the mandarin duck are deep and calm, but there is a rapid undercurrent hidden beneath them.
...
After thinking for a while, Yuan Tao gave up the in-depth investigation.
It is the instinct of monsters to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
No matter who it is, since they can control a Taotie and forcefully seal it, Taotie does not want to face such a powerful guy unless necessary.
Anyway, it seems that this Taotie's power has been sealed and its size has shrunk. Other than that, this Taotie doesn't seem to have suffered any damage.
Moreover, now that this glutton is with this human being, it is probably safe, right?
This human named Xiao Xiao is also a strange human being that makes him quite unpredictable.
However, it doesn't mind.
It's fun to get along with each other like this, isn't it?
...
Enjoy the maples and scenery, and chat with the mandarin ducks when no other tourists come. It’s leisurely and comfortable.
Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a magnificent red shadow appeared before his eyes, rendering a thrilling and moving scenery.
However, as time went by, there were more and more tourists, and the gradually noisy Fenglin made Xiao Xiao frown slightly.
It seems it's time to leave here.
With so many people, it would be bad if someone discovered anything unusual.
