Gu Chen's snap of his fingers aroused the sword monster's subconscious vigilance. However, the thing that stepped into the living room immediately did not pose any threat. The round appearance made the sword monster stunned on the spot as if struck by thunder.
"Excuse me, this is my Ponyo." Gu Chen patted the head of the pot monster parked at his feet. Maybe he lacked self-awareness, but his arrogant tone was no different from the stupid father who introduced his leap girl. "Her.
My situation is similar to yours, and I am currently living in this store, would you like to get acquainted?"
Gu Chen said this and carried the pot monster onto the coffee table. However, the sword monster over there seemed to be speechless due to too much fright. Even the red rope of the sword spike immersed in the wine cup became stiff.
Compared with the "weird monsters" that inhabit trees and rocks in the outside world, the number of "monsters" that are transformed from household objects is very small. In addition, they have to hide their identities and live in human settlements, so the probability of encountering each other is actually quite small.
.This is also the reason why the barnacle monsters danced with joy when they met each other last time.
It is extremely difficult for monsters to meet each other in the vast world. As for the scene of communicating openly in the living room of a shopping mall without covering up their bodies, it is unprecedented. Even a fierce sword monster
I couldn't help but be completely confused. It took me a long time to come back to my senses and look at Gu Chen anxiously.
"I told you I don't mean any harm to you, right?"
Gu Chen blinked at the sword monster.
Arranging the Pot Monster to wait outside the living room was originally a back-up plan in case the negotiation failed. Now that the Sword Monster has been successfully persuaded, calling the Pot Monster out again will undoubtedly appear more sincere and greatly increase the persuasiveness of the previous words. See
It can be seen that the sword monster is quite flustered now, but it is flustered, and the sharp hostility at the beginning has long disappeared.
"Let's drink to calm down the shock first. Our rules here are a little different from others. Just get used to it slowly."
Gu Chen smiled and raised the jug to pour wine for the sword monster. It was an unprecedented treat for the master to pour the wine himself, and the sword monster even reacted with flattery at that moment.
Later, the pot monster who came up to steal a drink was scolded by Gu Chen with a stern face. By the time the pot of "Three Spring Brews" was almost destroyed, one person and two monsters were no longer unfamiliar as before, and became more familiar than ever before.

……………………
Walking along the bare slope, Xiao Yi reached out and rubbed his swollen shoulders, feeling quite depressed.
Xiao Yi turned around and looked behind him. The sun had almost set at this moment, and the streets in the city were lit up one after another. Some of the citizens who were liberated from the busy work during the day would bring some braised food back home, and some would bring bulging bags with them.
Moneybags seek entertainment in the streets and alleys.
Reducing the burden on the wallets of those who are hesitant is Xiao Yi's most passionate career, and he also has the confidence of a professional. In the past, Xiao Yi should have had two or three wallets at this moment, but I don't know if the years have been bad recently.
After being beaten up by the pioneers for the first time, Xiao Yi missed and was caught again today.
The person who caught Xiao B was a black-haired woman with a ponytail.
The woman was good-looking, and her temperament seemed to be that of a young lady from a wealthy family. She was looking left and right at the street corner, with no attendants or maids around her. She was the easiest target no matter what.
But who knew that his reaction would be so quick that it would scare people to death.
Xiao B, who was approaching from behind, suddenly felt his head spin as soon as his hand touched the wallet. When he came to his senses, half of his face had been touched by sand and mud, and his right hand was pulled behind his back. A sudden sound came from his shoulder.
The pain made Xiao Yi scream and beg for mercy.
The woman wanted to send Xiao Yi to the government department to face charges, but no matter how much Xiao Yi begged for mercy, it was of no use.
Fortunately, when Xiao Yi looked at the woman's appearance, he suddenly remembered what Gu Chen had asked him to do, so he took a chance and asked. The woman who had been cold-faced before heard this changed her expression drastically, and immediately held Xiao Yi and asked him to lead the way.
Find the person who asked the question.
As a result, Xiao B had to lead the woman to the old shopping mall.
Although it was indeed Gu Chen who was asked to find the person, the fact that he used his benefactor's name as a shield when he failed in the theft was a heavy blow to the self-proclaimed "little thief" Xiao Yi's reserve. Xiao Yi grinned.
He glanced at the woman following him, cursing secretly in his heart.
Probably sensing Xiao Yi's muttering, the woman raised her eyebrows and asked.
"How far is it?"
"It's right in front. Have you seen that store?"
Xiao Yi pointed forward. There was an old business building standing at the end of the slope in front. The business building was not large in scale, but it was made of solid stone. Its structure was divided into two floors, with a vestibule and a warehouse. In the dim night shrouded in darkness,
On the slope, a faint light shines from the windows of the commercial building, making people feel warm.
Seeing the woman in the business store, her expression softened slightly, and then she gave a stern warning.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, don't try to play tricks."
"I didn't mean to play any tricks, Miss. The person looking for you is really there."
Xiao Yi approached the store with a sad face. Just when he was struggling with how to explain to Gu Chen, the door of the store suddenly opened. Then a figure staggered out of the door, holding on to the porch pillar as if he was drunk.
He retched for a while. There was a burst of noise from behind him, and the store felt like a lively banquet atmosphere.
"Gu, Master Gu?" Xiao Yi called out the man's name in surprise.
"Huh?" Gu Chen, who finally recovered, raised his head and squinted at the figure in the distance. Although his head was not completely awake at the moment, the white hair emerging from under the cloth hat stimulated his memory.
Impression. "It's Xiao Yi, what's the matter?"
"Uh, Mr. Gu, didn't you ask me to help you find someone? I brought the person here." Xiao Yi replied nervously.
"Bringing people..." Gu Chen's confused eyes moved to the woman behind him.
"It's you!?" The woman seemed to recognize him.
"It's me. We met at the market, thank you for remembering." Gu Chen nodded.
What Xiao Yi brought was the female rider who caused a commotion at the market in the morning. She was also the person Gu Chen asked to help spread the word. Compared to Gu Chen's calmness, the female rider showed unusual vigilance.
look.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"Well, I should have asked Xiao Yi to send a message to you, right?" Gu Chen looked at Xiao Yi as if confirming, and the latter nodded desperately in response.
At the market in the morning, the woman seemed to be looking for something anxiously, but later Gu Chen found the sword monster by following the spirit on her body. Gu Chen then speculated that the sword monster was the woman's lost item, and entrusted Xiao Yi to help find the woman.
The rider also brought a message to her, saying, "I have what you lost. If you want it, please come over."
There is quite a lot of room for interpretation in this sentence.
First of all, assuming that Xiao B has found the wrong person, then this statement will not cause a special reaction from the other party. Secondly, even if Xiao B has found the right person, but the woman did not actually lose anything, the result will be the same. Thirdly, if the loss is not particularly important.
Ordinary people will not trust strangers just because of casual words.
In other words, only when the three conditions of people, things, and things are met, will the woman come to visit the merchant house with Xiao Yi. In this case, you can basically be sure that the woman in front of you is the owner of the sword monster.
