"What should I do? What should I do? Someone is coming to my door."
"Damn humans, no, there is actually a big demon."
"It's okay, Tangtang, thank you for coming to see me..." This was an honest and honest voice.
"Bah, bah, bah! Don't say the rest, I must untie it..."
"Children, what do you want to solve?"
Behind them, Bai Jiu asked with a smile.
The cat demon's fur instantly exploded, and he blocked himself in front of a dead tree, screaming at Bai Jiu in a sad voice.
"Tangtang, don't be like this..." the honest little tree spirit dissuaded her.
Bai Jiu raised his hand gently, and the cat demon immediately fell silent and found that he could not move.
…
Tangtang, also known as Cindy, is a cute tabby cat. She has only been a sperm for 5 years. She has just begun to speak human language, but cannot yet transform into a human form. She wears a name tag around her neck.
"I'm sorry, Boss Bai. It's just that we are too young to see the truth. We really didn't mean it."
The cat demon, who was very strong just now, now stood upright on both legs, with his paws clasped in his fists, and kept begging Bai Jiu for mercy.
Lin Zuzu thought this scene was very cute and smiled inadvertently.
"Bai...Boss Bai, can you let Tangtang go? She is just trying to help me..."
The sound came from a dead tree. The whole tree looked so haggard that one couldn't even tell what kind of tree it was.
"You... are going to die, kid." Bai Jiu realized that the power of the tree demon was already very weak after a brief perception.
"Ooooooo, Boss Bai, can you save it? Your magic power is so powerful." After Tangtang heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore and started to cry.
Bai Jiu pointed forward with both hands, and a half-moon-like white light passed through, and the dead tree was cut in half.
"Ah ah ah ah, what are you doing! I will fight with you."
Tangtang rushed forward, but was frightened away by Bai Jiu's leering look, and huddled aside sobbing.
Bai Jiu walked slowly to the dead tree and saw that the trunk was riddled with holes, which had been eaten away inside and out by insects.
"The heart of the tree has been destroyed. Even if the Demon King is here, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do. At most, he can survive until dawn." Bai Jiu shook his head.
"Well, I know everything."
"You idiot, you idiot!!! The last time your senior came here, you could have asked for help and left, so why didn't you leave?"
"I want to... wait here for them to come back. I want to wait for how many years..." There was a hint of loneliness in the voice of the tree demon.
There are not many tree demons in Rize City who can turn into human form. If you are a senior, they should be Wang Shu.
"Why would you still..." after becoming a spirit and turning into a demon? Lin Zuzu couldn't bear it.
"When acquired demons first become spirits, in addition to possessing spiritual intelligence, they are still the same as ordinary animals and plants. They have to follow the laws of nature and will be hunted by natural enemies and die easily."
The tree demon has not moved here for many years, and the cat demon does not seem to have lost its freedom. So...
"Tangtang, is this the watch you stole?"
The cat demon was crying. When the girl asked this question, he suddenly became alert.
"Are you going to take the watch away? No!"
Tangtang let out a "meow" and quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only two cat eyes with green light looking here.
"Tangtang, please return the things to others. We can't untie them, can we?"
"I don't want it! I don't want it! I haven't shown it to you yet..."
"Tangtang!" The dryad sounded a little angry. "You sneaked out without telling me and took your watch. How sad must they be?"
"Woohoo ... big fool ..."
Tangtang finally walked out of the darkness, holding an antique watch in her mouth.
"I remember that the reward order said that there are memories of the deceased son in it?" Could it be related to this?
"That's the little master." The cat demon said dully. "Twenty years ago, when the master brought me home as a kitten, this big stupid tree was already here."
"Not long after, the masters gave birth to the little master. When he grew up a little, he gave me an English name, but his skills were limited and he made the mistake of Candy and Cindy."
"But the good times didn't last long. One day, the masters were busy at work and thought that the other one had gone to pick up the little master, but..."
Tangtang started crying again.
"So they became resentful and complained to each other. In the end, one took Tangtang and all the photos, and the other took the watch and separated..." the dryad continued.
"I'm waiting and waiting here...I thought I could wait until one day when they come back...It's a pity that my useless body..."
"Over the years, Tangtang has always come to see me from time to time. Until recently, she found out about my situation. As a result, she suddenly...wanted to let me take a look at the memories of the past, but it was a pity that there was a restriction on her watch.
Only blood relatives can open it."
The dryad's voice became lower and lower, gradually turning into a sigh.
"Everyone, I have an idea."
In such a gloomy atmosphere, Lin Zuzu said loudly.
***
Why does the bounty mission come to such a gloomy place in the middle of the night?
Xu Xinzhao held the steering wheel with some trembling, drove the car into an unknown lane, and finally stopped outside a gloomy single-family courtyard.
He found that a car was already parked there, and a tall figure stood beside the car.
"Just stay in the car." An indifferent old lady in the passenger seat said.
"Mom, I..." Before Xu Xinzhao finished speaking, the old lady opened the door and got out of the car.
The tall and upright figure was also surprised when he saw someone coming.
"Long time no see." This is a very energetic old man.
"Why are you here?" The old lady frowned slightly.
At this time, a faint light came out from the ajar door, seeming to welcome their arrival.
"It seems that if you don't go in, you won't know..."
The old lady ignored him and opened the door without hesitation and went in. Seeing this, the old man followed helplessly.
The dim light gradually grew stronger, piercing the light and causing the two of them to close their eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, there was no dark and ghostly courtyard. What was in front of me was a bright and warm courtyard with spring flowers blooming.
Beside the soft turf, the small flower bed full of flowers, and the lush sycamore trees, squatted a cute tabby cat, with an exquisite antique watch beside it.
"Ah, Cindy."
The old lady sighed softly and stretched out her hand towards Tangtang, but found that something was wrong with her voice, and what was also wrong was the white plain hand that caught her eye.
"Fangya, this is..."
When the old man saw his former lover turning into what he looked like when he was young, he quickly took out his mobile phone and saw his young and handsome self on the screen.
"Great, you are finally back." A gentle voice sounded out of thin air.
"Who's talking?" Zhao Xiaojun raised his head nervously and looked around but couldn't see the third person.
"Idiot human! Woohoo!" The civet cat suddenly uttered human words and wiped its tears with its paws.
"Cindy? You...you can speak?" Zhao Xiaojun said in surprise.
"Have you ever seen a cat live for more than thirty years? I am a cat demon, a cat demon!"
Xu Yafang, as if nothing happened, picked up Cindy and walked out of the yard.
"No!" Tangtang broke away from the embrace and jumped back to the watch. "Wutong... is dying."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaojun moved his gaze to the lush sycamore tree.
"Is that you? Old man."
Suddenly, he felt pain in his hand. It was Tangtang who scratched his hand.
"Hurry up and release the restriction." Tangtang yelled at him.
Zhao Xiaojun reacted, picked up the watch and placed it on the wound, feeling the rune stones of the blood bond glow——
The ban is lifted.
This is the last time...
As he sighed silently, a dazzling light enveloped everyone present.
