Qiao Xi was speechless and choked as she looked at the crowd of children who had gathered around because of the child's shouts. The expression on her face was at a loss for a moment.
Most children with pure hearts are very sensitive. Even though it was their first time seeing him, they could not detect that Qiao Xi was not a human being, but they could detect the very comfortable aura about him, so they all started talking nonsense.
Qiao Xi asked with her tongue:
"Brother, are you a goblin?"
"Brother, you are so good-looking."
"Brother, where are you from?"
"Brother, can you marry me when I grow up?"
"elder brother……"
…
The rising and falling of her brother echoed in her ears, and for a moment Qiao Xi almost wanted to retreat.
But at the last moment his dignity as a god stopped him.
——And is there something terrible mixed in among these "brothers"?
After Qiao Xi thought deeply, she smiled and pushed the children around her back a certain distance without leaving any trace, and then answered their questions one by one.
"No, brother is not an angel."
"My brother came from far away."
"Well, I came here to talk to the owner of this hotel about something."
"No, brother has something to do, so I can't play with you?"
…
As for the question that slipped in, Qiao Xi pretended that she didn't hear it.
As he spoke, he moved towards the hotel. Before he approached the door of the hotel, he suddenly felt that someone seemed to be watching him.
Qiao Xi subconsciously raised her head. At the door of the hotel, a pretty girl wearing a simple blue yukata stood at the door, looking over with a smile.
——I don’t know why, but Qiao Xi’s first reaction when she saw that girl was that Qingxing Dengji was actually standing on the ground today?
Yes, the girl in Tsing Yi is the little girl from Qing Xingdeng who was good friends with Qiao Xi hundreds of years ago.
Although this big monster who usually lives alone has very strange hobbies among monsters, Qiao Xi often feels a little guilty when she sees her.
However, I have to say that it feels very good to suddenly meet a familiar monster in this unaccompanied situation.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but reveal a heartfelt smile on her face.
He tilted his head and said hello to the girl with a green lantern: "Long time no see."
The girl Qing Xingdeng looked at Qiao Xi and was very emotional.
She had long noticed that a very familiar aura belonging to a big monster suddenly appeared on the mountain today. Just when she was thinking about which big monster woke up from a deep sleep, she saw Qiao Xi standing on the top of the mountain from a distance.
The figure on the stone couldn't help but feel a little excited.
——Well, don’t doubt the vision and ability of a big monster.
At this moment, she had already prepared everything and was waiting for Qiao Xi to come over.
The two monsters looked at each other and smiled.
Qing Xingdeng said to the children who were pestering Qiao Xi: "This brother came to see my elder sister for something. After he finishes the matter, will my elder sister let him play with you?"
It can be seen that Qing Xingdeng should be somewhat familiar with these children. When she said this, the children only hesitated for a moment and made her promise, and then reluctantly let Qiao Xi and Qing Xingdeng go.
Got in.
Passing through the back door of the hotel, you will see a different world in front of you.
Different from the modern style of the hotel outside, the courtyard at the back is completely in the style of the Heian Kyo period, with a classical Japanese style room and hydrangeas blooming in the courtyard. This made Qiao Xi feel for a moment as if nothing had changed.
However, it only took a moment for him to come back to his senses and follow Qing Xingdeng to sit under the corridor.
Because he had noticed Qiao Xi's presence a long time ago, Qing Xingdeng had already prepared some snacks that he liked. The two monsters sat side by side and did not speak immediately, but ate the snacks in silence.
Qiao Xi ate a few snacks and calmed down. Then she held the teacup, took a sip and said, "It's really good."
Qing Xingdeng glanced at him, with a smile in his eyes:
"I haven't seen you for hundreds of years, and you're still like this."
Qiao Xi tilted her head and asked a little aggrievedly: "Well, you all disappeared as soon as I fell asleep. I thought you were all killed by the Onmyoji, but it turns out you came here to open a hot spring hotel.
"
Upon hearing this, Qing Xingdeng glanced at Qiao Xi with a half-smile.
They are all monsters. Even though hundreds of years have passed, time has not left any obvious traces on them. The Qingxingdeng girl is still as Qiao Xi remembers her, with picturesque features, a slightly pale face, and eyes as clear as water.
She looks like a very gentle noble girl.
However, compared to hundreds of years ago, Qingxing Lantern looks more cheerful - specifically, it looks more popular.
The previous Qingxing Lantern was cold, even though she looked like a human girl, but at a glance, not to mention the pale, almost cold cyan skin and the green lantern made of demonic power, just her temperament,
You can tell she is a monster.
However, now, the girl's long green hair is tied up behind her back with a hairband, letting it hang down naturally. She is wearing a bathrobe of the same color. It is not very delicate, but it looks very comfortable. At this moment, she is sitting on her knees in the corridor.
The way she held the tea cup and smiled slightly was no different from an ordinary human girl.
"Yeah, yeah, even a monster needs to keep pace with the times when necessary."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that he was silent, Qing Xingdeng skipped the topic very lightly. Knowing what was most concerned about in his heart at the moment, after calming his mind, he turned to talk about the monsters in the great rivers and mountains.
"Previously, Abe Seimei had always been in charge in Kyoto. He was a bit narrow-minded and had no skills in onmyojitsu. At that time, the area around Kyoto was very stable. Even after a hundred years, it was said that Abe Seimei had reached his limit as a human being.
has arrived, but because his shikigami is still active in the world, most youkai still don't believe this rumor."
Speaking of this, Qing Xingdeng suddenly couldn't help but sigh, and the expression on his face looked a little lost.
Probably because he felt that even an onmyoji as powerful as Abe Seimei would become nothing more than a handful of loess after a hundred years.
She sighed before continuing: "About two hundred years later, a reckless little monster went to Kyoto to do evil, but no Seimei or his shikigami came out to stop him. Only then did everyone know that the great Onmyoji
It's really gone.
After that, many unknown monsters suddenly appeared in Kyoto."
