(9) Shadow Stone
Saying that it was too late, Shadow Stone quickly let go of Luo Gullet at a speed that was difficult to catch, and smashed the broken mask in his left hand towards the defenseless Mi Xiheng, once again verifying what it means to turn his face faster than turning a book, and his voice was raised, looking very unhappy, "Who told you to bring the monster in!?" Don't you know that I hate yokai? β
Mi Xiheng quickly dodged the blow of the shadow stone, and let the mask smash towards the glass counter behind him, and then flew straight into the small door behind the counter, but a shrill voice instantly sounded, "Painββ! β
"Zitong!?" Luo Guyin, who heard the voice clearly, couldn't help but look surprised, and after a low snort, he saw a white paw push open the small wooden door next to the counter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Zitong touched the tail that was smashed by the UFO, and the movements looked very weird, but when he saw everyone, he showed an expression that was even more surprised than that of the Luo Cormorant, and the front paws that were holding the tail and constantly stroking still did not land, "Why are you all here?" The amber pupils on his tilted head revealed incomparable sincerity.
Luo Guyin, who came back to his senses, stepped forward and grabbed Zitong's neck until his eyes were parallel, trying to read Zitong's psychological dynamics, "You should tell me why you're here?" If I'm not mistaken, I haven't been here in over seven years, right? β
If I remember correctly, the last time I came to "TARA" should have been the summer vacation after my college entrance examination, and I never came here again, so that the young people of the year became stubble uncles, and I couldn't believe it, and during this period, Zitong has been with me, so Luo Gulu is very suspicious of the appearance of Zitong.
"I informed Zitong to come," Mi Xiheng's voice intervened at the right time, waved his hand to show what he meant, and explained, "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and besides, I haven't seen Zitong for a long time, right?" As he spoke, he looked at the Persian cat in Luo Gu's hand with a self-righteous expression.
Zitong persistently held the smashed tail with her front paws, constantly rubbing it around, and did not give up even if she was half-carried in the air by Luo Gu.
When he heard Mi Xiheng's explanation, he couldn't help but glance at Mi Xiheng and said in a muffled nasal voice, "I'm not interested in seeing you at all." β
Mi Xiheng, who was provoked by Zitong's disdainful expression, raised his eyebrows, revealing a faint smile, but it was murderous, "Oh? Are you sure? β
Zitong has always been empty-eyed, but her hairs stood on end in Mi Xiheng's terrifying expression, and she immediately became honest and didn't dare to squeak.
Shadow Stone was not distracted by Zitong's intrusion at the moment, only to see him stride forward and grab the front placket of Mi Xiheng, who was threatening Zitong, and shook it vigorously, ignoring Mi Xiheng's pain and pulling his face closer, but his own face was wrinkled together, "You haven't answered me yet, why did you bring a monster into my shop, do you want me to give you a grounding order?? β
"Ahem," Enoki, who had been silent on the side at this time, finally couldn't help but cough a few times to interrupt Shadow Stone, and asked his own question, his expression was a little innocent, "I'm also a monster, and I've never seen you make such a fuss and have such a clear sense of likes and dislikes." β
Shadow Stone kept moving, twisted his head, and swept Sweep's body, his brow furrowed even tighter, "You're different, the contract between you and this kid is not a joke, and it's not a beast foraging on the grassland," he said as he ignored Enoki's existence again, staring at Mi Xiheng's eyes, "Say! β
Mi Xiheng raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and bowed his mouth in the direction of Luo Guyin, with a helpless look of grievance, and began to shirk the truth in a statement, "You ask the cormorant, what she picked up has nothing to do with me." β
Carefully scanning Mi Xiheng's face to make sure that the other party was not lying, Shadow Stone showed a puzzled expression, let go of his hand, and looked at Luo Gully's face full of questions, and finally couldn't help but hook Luo Gully's neck and drag her aside, pouring beans and asking in a low voice.
"What's your situation? How can you be with such a powerful youkai? If I'm not mistaken, his demonic power should be much higher than Enoki, I know he's attractive, yes, but is it really good to keep such a dangerous thing around? He's in a different situation from Enoki, a dog without an owner will bite people casually, not to mention a youkai who hasn't signed a contract, how can you be a slave? Or? I'll help you get rid of it? β
Luo Gullet couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth when she cried and laughed, could she be moved to understand the words of the person in front of her as concern? But what about disposing of it? Why does it sound so dangerous?
Shadow Stone has always been an ordinary person in his mind, and now he has a connection with another world, he and Mi Xiheng never seem to want to hide anything, they still don't know anything, is it because they are too ambiguous or their comprehension ability is too poor?
Thinking about it, Luo Gullet couldn't help but smile bitterly and replied, "Don't bother Uncle Ying, he is my savior, and there is no contract in the first place." β
"Oh?" Shadow Stone Fox secretly glanced at Nian Qiu suspiciously, and found that Nian Qiu looked at him indifferently without any hostility.
Shadow Stone exhaled slightly embarrassedly, let go of Luo Guyin, and stood up straight, thinking about what to say, but Nian Qiu, who was not far behind him, said coldly, "If you really don't want to, I can leave now." β
"No," he pulled at his already disheveled shirt, pulling out a pack of deflated cigarettes from his trouser pocket, pulling one out of his pants pocket, and lighting it up.
Taking two sharp breaths, Shadow Stone looked at Mi Xiheng again, his expression became serious, "Say, what the hell is going on with me, you won't be so bored that you just come to visit the door, right?" β
Mi Xiheng showed a smile of "I really can't hide it", walked straight to Shadow Stone, hooked Shadow Stone's neck and walked towards the small door behind the cabinet, explaining as she walked, "The cormorant has met the spirit, this is not here for you to get a set of tools to deal with, hurry up and let me see if there is anything new and good." β
Shadow Stone rolled his eyes, glanced at Luo Gulf who was educating Zitong behind him, his brows furrowed slightly, his face was worried, and his voice was so small that only Mi Xiheng could hear it, "I've checked the Gilles, and there is nothing wrong with it for the time being," he paused thoughtfully, and then said, "It's just that I didn't expect your precious apprentice to enter the Demon Slaying Realm so quickly, you are really useless as a master, and it is your obligation and responsibility to protect the Gulf." β
Mi Xiheng showed a natural straight expression from the boat to the bridge, and rarely smiled, and her expression became even more helpless, "It's fate, and I can't stop it, so I brought her to you to recognize the door, at least you can show her the way in the future." β
Shadow Stone's expression was a little gloomy, and he sighed softly after a few seconds of silence, "I know, it's just you..."
Mi Xiheng retracted his range of movements and made a silent posture, moved his index finger slightly, pointed in the direction of Nian Qiu, resumed his smile and patted Shadow Stone's shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Let them go on their own path, you are not young anymore, Uncle Shadow~" Learning Luo Gulling's tone, Mi Xiheng called Shadow Stone in a strange voice.
Shadow Stone, who was amused by Mi Xiheng's inconsequential appearance, smiled, and shouted at Luo Gullu, who was happily educating Zitong behind him, "Come, Bulbe, let you see my real goods, it's definitely worth the trip!" β
Luo Gulling, who was aroused by Shadow Stone's words, looked a little excited, with a slightly expectant look, Luo Gulf moved a few steps and threw Zitong into Nian Qiu's arms, completely ignoring Zitong's dissatisfied complaints, and quickly ran to Mi Xiheng's side after beckoning Nian Qiu to follow him, so everyone had to follow helplessly.
Nian Qiu, who didn't deliberately hear the conversation between Mi Xiheng and Shadow Stone, was confused.
Liuyi? Is it the gilt that Luo Gulu used to hang on his lips? Isn't it just a little super energy detector? What other secret could there be?
Although he was puzzled, Nian Qiu didn't make a sound, anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
