Chapter 523 Taotie! Another monster?
Lifting his eyes to meet Mr. Jiang's burning gaze, Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment. Should he tell the truth? Or just follow the old man's previous choice and muddle through?
In just a few breaths, Xiao Xiao made a decision.
"Well, it's Taotie."
Xiao Xiao decided to tell the truth.
……
Mr. Jiang gave him good senses, and he always interacted with him as his equal, without any arrogance of his predecessors.
They got along quite happily.
Since the other party showed kindness and reciprocated with kindness, Xiao Xiao naturally did not want to fool the other party.
……
Moreover, even if Mr. Jiang could not tell the truth of what he said, Xiao Xiao had not forgotten what Mr. Jiang said before.
In addition to him, the old man also knew three other demon masters who could see the complete appearance of monsters.
If you lie now, it will be embarrassing if you are exposed later.
Then it would be better to tell the truth from the beginning.
……
After receiving Xiao Xiao's affirmative reply, Mr. Jiang's eyes widened for a moment, and then his tense body slowly relaxed and he leaned back on the chair.
The hand on the table opened and closed slightly, as if trying to suppress the heart that was still beating rapidly.
Mr. Jiang took a deep breath, raised his tea cup and took a sip with some eagerness.
At this time, he didn't mind that the tea was not in his mouth.
……
The slightly cold tea slid into the throat, and the slightly bitter tea fragrance filled the entire mouth.
A stream of fresh air rushed straight into his brain, making Mr. Jiang let out a light sigh of relief.
It also eased Mr. Jiang's turbulent mood a bit.
……
Mr. Jiang took another sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Really, did you know that old people can’t stand being scared?
He had been frightened more in one day than he had been in years.
……
"Ouch~"
Taotie swallowed the last piece of tea, smacked it in his mouth a few times, narrowed his eyes under his armpits, and glanced at Mr. Jiang with a somewhat condescending look.
Although this human being is not very strong, he still has good vision.
Seeing Mr. Jiang's shocked look, Taotie was in a good mood, and even looked at Mr. Jiang much more pleasantly.
It was also frustrated a lot by Xiao Xiao. In front of Xiao Xiao, it was worn down to the point where it had no temper at all.
Mr. Jiang's reaction made him feel like "tears filled his eyes" for a moment.
This is a normal reaction to seeing it.
It is a glutton. Not only does this damn human being not respect it, but it keeps squeezing it, threatening it, and restricting its food!
Taotie couldn't help but tilt his head and glare at Xiao Xiao angrily, but when he met Xiao Xiao's half-smiling eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and turned his head back with a "whoosh".
Its face was still cold, but its drooping eyelids blocked the violently trembling eyes.
Phew, scared the monster to death.
Taotie calmly patted his chest a few times with his paws.
The movements are a bit stiff.
……
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, you really surprised me."
After a long time, Mr. Jiang finally spoke, his face full of emotion.
There was still a hint of surprise in his eyes.
……
Jiang Laoru's eyes looked like he was looking at some magical species, which made Xiao Xiao curl up his lips helplessly.
"It's just a coincidence."
At that time, he did not expect that he would encounter the legendary Taotie just when he went to a restaurant to eat.
He is still a sealed Taotie who says "the dragon swims in the shallows and the tiger falls in the sun".
Remembering that a certain monster looked greedy when they first met, the smile on Xiao Xiao's lips couldn't help but deepen a bit.
……
"No, how could this be a coincidence?" Mr. Jiang shook his head, making it clear that he didn't believe Xiao Xiao's modest words.
This is gluttony.
Where can it be conquered by chance?
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, you are really amazing."
Mr. Jiang felt a sense of admiration for the young man in front of him, "You can actually conquer Taotie!"
……
"Ouch~"
Taotie shouted to Mr. Jiang in dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by subjugation?" It was not conquered by that annoying human!
Taotie, who originally thought Mr. Jiang was good, immediately felt that the old man in front of him was really old and his eyesight was no longer working!
……
Xiao Xiao flicked Taotie's forehead with his finger.
A certain noisy monster immediately fell silent.
……
Seeing this, Mr. Jiang cast a look of surprise and admiration.
Xiao Xiao:......
……
Regarding Mr. Jiang's admiration and even the admiration shown in his words, Xiao Xiao felt that he didn't know what expression to put on other than smiling.
It would be better for him not to tell the excited old man that he had abducted this gluttonous creature by "coaxing and deceiving" him with food.
Otherwise, the elderly will be stimulated too much and it will be bad for their health.
……
Mr. Jiang was once again troubled by his lack of talent.
Taotie was right in front of him, but he couldn't catch a glimpse of the legendary demon.
To him, what difference does it make between monsters and monsters?
Anyway, in his eyes, it was all a black shadow.
……
Mr. Jiang did not wonder why this Taotie was so small.
He thought it was Taotie's intention.
After all, being too big makes it difficult to move around in the city.
……
The conversation between the next two people basically revolved around Taotie.
Mr. Jiang was naturally not as ignorant as young people. Even if he was really curious, he did not ask Xiao Xiao questions such as where he found this Taotie and how Xiao Xiao conquered it. He just asked out of curiosity. Learn about Taotie’s appearance, eating habits and other trivial details of Taotie’s life.
Taotie, whom he had only seen in ancient biographies, was gradually appearing in front of him in a more vivid, full and agile image.
Mr. Jiang was both satisfied and regretful.
……
Finally, Mr. Jiang left his contact information for Xiao Xiao.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, if you have anything, you can contact me at any time."
"There is also the matter of joining the Demon Master Alliance. I hope you can consider it."
When Mr. Jiang asked before, Xiao Xiao did not give an answer immediately.
Later, Mr. Jiang was so distracted by Taotie that he forgot to ask Xiao Xiao for an answer.
It wasn't until they were about to say goodbye that Mr. Jiang remembered this matter.
However, he was not in a hurry for Xiao Xiao's answer.
The fact that the other party did not respond at the first time already illustrates the problem.
It cannot be said that Xiao Xiao refused, but at least it shows that he was hesitant.
In this case, Mr. Jiang has no intention of forcing him.
A demon master with a gluttonous spirit, even if he does not join the demon master alliance, he still has to work hard to build a good relationship.
……
Speaking of which, these were just Taotie's words. Mr. Jiang retracted his gaze from Xiao Xiao's head and turned his gaze to Xiao Xiao's right shoulder.
What is this one?
……
Compared to Taotie's bad temper, he had been inexplicably glared at by a certain Taotie many times before. He could also see that Taotie was always snarling its teeth and claws at him. This monster lying on Xiao Xiao's right shoulder was worth mentioning. Called well-behaved.
But a well-behaved monster?
Why does he feel so awkward?
