However, in fact, Qingming was really very restrained in front of him.

If nothing else, just pity Qiao's face that has not changed for thousands of years!

Due to various subjective and objective reasons, Qiao Xi's temperament belongs to the kind of person who seems to be very simple and harmless - although he is actually not a good person in his bones.

- If he were a good guy, he might not have survived for so long, and he would still be able to get along well with all the big monsters.

But no matter whether he is good or bad in his bones, his simple and unpretentious face and a pair of watery and round eyes make everyone or monsters have a very ...... impression of him Subtle.

Even though Qingming knows this guy very well, every time he is in front of Qiao Xi, he unconsciously doesn't hook up with his women very much.

There was no way, looking at Qiao Xi's clear eyes, he inexplicably felt a sense of guilt for being a bad child.

- Even though there is never a child who has lived for hundreds of years.

It can be seen that pretending to be tender is undoubtedly a very technical thing.

Nu Liang looked at Qiao Xi's innocent and curious appearance, and remembered the romantic affairs of the nobles of the Heiankyo period that he saw when he occasionally looked through Sakurahime's collection, and suddenly felt that Qiao Xi, this monster, was very powerful in any way.

He didn't mean to have an in-depth discussion with Qiao Xi on the topic of whether Qingming was romantic or not, so he turned the topic back very indifferently.

"So, Qiao Xisang hasn't met any exciting people or monsters for so many years?"

Qiao Xi glanced at him, and didn't have a strong desire to answer the question he suddenly asked.

- or rather, Qiao Xi, in his bones, actually doesn't believe much in the feelings between people.

Even though he seems to get along well with a lot of youkai or humans, it's only because they stick to each other's bottom lines when they get along.

Within that bottom line, Qiao Xi can give others infinite trust, but he will never let people cross that line.

Qingming had laughed before and said that Qiao Xi was born a very powerful monster, because he had nothing to worry about and fear.

Of course, few people or youkai can see this.

Qiao Xi thought a lot for a moment in his heart, and Nu Liang squinted his eyes as if he was waiting for an answer very seriously.

After a long time, Qiao Xi couldn't help but laugh softly, and replied casually and seemingly meaningfully:

"Time is the biggest enemy of love, unfortunately, as a monster, the cheapest thing Xiaosheng has is precisely time."

He turned his head and made eye contact with Nu Liang.

Nu Liang stared at him for a few seconds, then looked away and laughed.

"That's right...... I see. ”

- Refusing to meet because of fear of parting, is it really ......

"Qiao Xisang is really gentle......"

Nu Liang sighed unclearly and said no more.

Qiao Xi thought that this guy might be drunk.

Otherwise, how could he have said such an unbelievable thing.

With a wine bowl in his hand, he looked up at the bright moon hanging on the treetops, and was unconsciously stunned for a moment.

Someone who is excited......

He laughed softly, his delicate eyebrows and eyes stretched, like the gentlest flowers blooming in an instant, indulgent but not scorching.

- non-existent.

Qiao Xi glanced back at Nu Liang, who was leaning on the pillar with one leg bent and his eyes closed, snorted lightly in his nose, threw the wine bowl away, stood up and nodded to the drunken and hazy big monster, and left directly.

Nu Liang house, Nu Liang squinted at the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard for a while, and suddenly shook his head and laughed.

- It's weird.

Qiao Xi didn't take Nu Liang's sudden problem to heart.

As he replied, he did not believe that any emotion would remain the same forever without the erosion of time, so he would only not touch it from the beginning.

He thought about it for a while, and went back to the place where Nura Kotoban had discovered Gorou Saemon Yamamoto.

- Well, he's actually quite interested in youkai.

At this time, the sky has gradually turned white, and the air is filled with a thin mist, and the closer you get to the mountains and forests, the thicker the fog becomes.

Qiao Xi is not in a hurry, anyway, that Yamamoto Goro has long disappeared, and he just wants to see if there are any clues in the details.

- That's fine if he has it, and he won't be disappointed if he hasn't.

It's just to have fun with myself, this one is gone, and there's the next one.

With this in mind, Qiao Xi just slowly walked through the forest like a walk.

Before the sky was about to dawn, Qiao Xi's careless footsteps suddenly paused, and in the distance, a glimmer of light gradually approached from the other side of the winding path.

The expression on Qiao Xi's face remained unchanged, and his steps were as unhurried as ever, but his attention was on the bend in front of him.

- Wandering around this place at this point in time, no matter how you think about it, it can't be an ordinary human.

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.

A young man walked in front of him, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with light gray hair on his chest, a golden collar fastened around his neck, and a circular engraved decoration hanging from the center of the collar, he had no expression on his face, and he carried an oil lamp in his hand.

With just one glance, Qiao Xi was sure that the guy on the other side was a non-human.

When he saw Qiao Xi, the young man's eyelids raised, but he didn't make more movements, still moving firmly towards his destination, and Qiao Xi, who was standing on the road he had to pass, passed by him without accident.

For a moment, Qiao Xi subconsciously glanced back at the lamp in the young man's hand.

It was very bright, and there was a glow in it, but it was not a candle flame, but some small, unknown insects.

He couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

- If he didn't have auditory hallucinations, the moment he passed by, he seemed to hear the boy laugh.

The laughter was a little short, only one, but it sounded hoarse and strange, and the early morning forest was already shrouded in a thick fog, so that light laughter sounded particularly eerie in this environment.

The young man's back gradually disappeared into the thick fog, and Qiao Xi stopped in place for a few seconds, then shook his head and continued to set off.

There are a lot of monsters in this world, even if they are a little strange, the one is not enough to arouse his interest, if there is a chance to meet again in the future, he may still communicate with this little guy.

But now, he's a little more curious about the monster named Goro Saemon Yamamoto.
