Watanabe Yuki responded, and then looked at the young boy who looked a lot more embarrassed after a night of hard fighting. His back was still straight, the smile on his face was still warm, and his movements were still
Reserved and elegant.
Watanabe Yuki opened his mouth, but in the end he swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.
He actually had many questions to ask.
He wanted to ask - why did you save me?
He wanted to ask - why do you want to help these people like this?
What he actually wants to ask most is - are you a human? Or a monster?
However, Watanabe Yuki stared blankly at the back of the young boy walking lightly along the winding mountain road, without asking any questions.
——There is no need to ask any more questions. Whether he is a human or a monster, Watanabe Yuki only knows that he saved him, that's all.
Thinking this, Watanabe Yuki smiled unconsciously, and then looked at the piles of villagers.
"Ah, cheer up, Yuki Watanabe! There are still these villagers who want to move back!"
…
Qiao Xi walked along the mountain road towards the top of the mountain step by step, and stopped just after turning an intersection.
Under the tree on the roadside, Sa Dou was kneeling on a big shell, smiling at him with a gentle expression: "You are back, Lord Fengyue God."
Qiao Xi blinked her eyes, looked at Sa Dou for a few seconds, said "ah" casually, and said with a smile: "This is not in a shrine."
Sa Dou tilted his head, jumped down from the shell and said, "Well, I just suddenly wanted to say that."
Qiao Xi raised her feet and continued walking, saying at the same time: "Really? Then...I'm back."
Sa Dou used his demonic power to lift up the shell and followed Qiao Xi. The smile on his face became stronger: "Hi, welcome back."
Qiao Xi bent her eyes, looked at Kosatsumaru sitting on the tree, smiled and said hello to her.
Komatsumaru looked at Qiao Xi with a smile and said, "You are so awesome, Lord Fengyue God."
Qiao Xi nodded unceremoniously, and then said: "So, can you tell me where those children are now?"
Komatsumaru opened her eyes. She had been smiling and bending her eyes into an arc, but now she opened her eyes for no apparent reason.
Qiao Xi took a second look and realized that this little guy's eyes were a kind of light green with a hint of blue, as if the sky and the forest were fused together, which looked quite beautiful.
He thought casually.
Komatsumaru's eyes swept from Qiao Xi to Sa Dou, and he sneered inexplicably, then jumped down from the tree and landed on Sa Dou's head: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really boring."
She curved her eyes into the shape of crescent moons again, as if nothing could make the smile disappear from her face.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
The meaning in the monster's eyes when it looked at Sa Dou just now was so obvious that Qiao Xi couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
And it has to be said that both Qiao Xi and Sa Dou know the reason why Komatsumaru #means something.
——It's just that when Qiao Xi and Feng Sheng were fighting, Sa Dou was obviously hiding and watching, but he never showed up.
To be fair, Qiao Xi actually didn't feel angry about this.
If I have to say it, it is probably the tacit understanding between the two of them.
Qiao Xi wanted to take this opportunity to hone her practical skills, while Sa Dou knew Qiao Xi's thoughts and chose to wait silently.
However, there was no need to deliberately explain the little thoughts between the two of them to others, so Qiao Xi thought for a moment and pretended that she didn't understand Komatsumaru's sarcasm at all, and replied nonchalantly: "Oh.
."
Komatsumaru: "..."
Looking at the petite, well-behaved and cute little girl, she said "tsk" and simply ignored the matter, saying only: "No, go this way."
When Qiao Xi and Feng Sheng were fighting, her clothes were damaged, but after meeting Sa Dou, Sa Dou quickly used the specialties of plant monsters to help Qiao Xi heal her.
After Qiao Xi recovered, she used her demon power to transform herself into a light blue yukata, and then followed the path pointed by Komatsumaru to find it.
Komatsumaru's small stature makes it very easy to travel through the mountains and forests, and the high and low branches basically have no effect on her.
After the initial trouble, Qiao Xi simply activated her innate skill as the Fengyue God, allowing the plants blocking the road to automatically clear a path wide for one person.
Therefore, while wandering through the mountains and forests, the three monsters didn't waste much time and soon arrived in front of a cave.
A squirrel stood at the entrance of the hole and squeaked a few times. Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and stopped.
After listening with his ears raised, Komatsumaru said "Hmm", and the little squirrel stood up and bowed to Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi blinked, and Komatsumaru glanced at Qiao Xi narrowly.
Seeing the look in Komatsumaru's eyes that he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, Qiao Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled at the little squirrel, and the little squirrel squeaked excitedly again.
Komatsumaru, the only one who could understand, suppressed his laughter and said: "Okay, Lord Fengyue Shen still needs to go in and see those children. Wait until you can speak before you go to him, okay? I need you to lead the way now."
The little squirrel lowered its head in despair, but only for a moment, it raised its head, squeaked a few times, and then led the way.
Qiao Xi looked at its performance, and combined with Komatsumaru's words, she immediately had a guess in her heart, and then she couldn't help but said: "..."
——Feeling a little bit...ashamed.
He thought to himself, and followed the little squirrel into a cave without stopping.
There are many twists and turns in this cave, and it looks gloomy inside. The further you go inside, the less light you can see.
However, the people walking here are all monsters, and there are no invisible troubles. After walking quietly for a while, my eyes suddenly became clear.
Qiao Xi opened her eyes wide, and suddenly sighed thoughtfully: "The Peach Blossom Spring!"
Sa Dou didn't understand, so he looked at him doubtfully: "Sir, what did you say?"
Komatsumaru couldn't help but glance at him curiously.
Qiao Xi recalled the things related to Peach Blossom Spring in his memory. Because it was too long ago, he thought for a while and couldn't think of anything more. He could only cough as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing, I just remembered a legend."
Komatsumaru said "Huh" and looked at Qiao Xi with round eyes: "Legend? Sir, you are really well-informed? Can you tell me what kind of legend it is? Komatsumaru is a little curious~"
