Sa Dou, who was originally a little dazed, looked at Qiao Xichao in surprise and smiled at himself, and then asked:

"The fish demon under the stone bridge...... Who is it? ”

Qiao Xi stood quietly on the stone bridge.

He had actually guessed the identity of the so-called "fish demon".

can make Sa Dou hide its existence in front of him, and gradually disappear after he returns.

Coupled with the remarkable feature of living in the water and having a fishtail, these combined guesses that there is almost no second youkai.

————————————————

The cherry blossom stream was swept out of the deep sea by the sea breeze of the big yokai.

She was very young at the time—a baby in human terms.

The baby hid in the shell of the accompanying mussel and floated with the current until it was stranded in a mountain and found by a kappa.

At that time, Sakura-ryu was actually conscious.

She saw that the kappa called a large number of yokai to hula and surround herself, and it was not long before a small yokai surrounded a teenager and came over.

The boy looked like he was not an adult, but the aura on his body was powerful, and at the same time very gentle—as gentle as the sea water she had touched when she was born.

Sakura Ryu watched the boy smile through the cracks in the clam shell, and the other gossiping monsters around her seemed to disappear, leaving only the boy smiling and stretching out his hand towards the clam shell.

At that moment, in Sakura's eyes, the curvature of the young man's gorgeous light purple hunting clothes was extremely gentle.

Sakura was desperate to get out of the shell, to hold the hand that the boy was reaching out to.

However, she was too immature, and she was still a cub, and her strength was not enough to support her to open the shell.

She is a youkai in the deep sea known as "Pepper Figure".

Pepper is a rather peculiar monster, there will only be one in the world, and only after the last one dies will a new pepper figure be born.

Newborn youkai are always very fragile, and in order to ensure their inheritance, they are born with an extremely hard mussel shell to protect their immature bodies until adulthood.

Before reaching adulthood, Jiaotu could only sleep in the mussel shell, and occasionally woke up to look at the vicissitudes of the sea outside through the cracks in the mussel shell.

When you reach adulthood, the mussel shell will automatically open, so every pepper is a powerful youkai that can call the wind and rain as soon as it appears, and you never have to worry about the survival rate of the cubs.

But Sakura didn't want to wait that long, she wanted to touch him, and now she thought—the desire was so strong that she forcibly opened the shell and stood up.

The boy is the god of the moon that is worshiped by humans on this mountain, and the time he was born is no more than a few decades, and he is undoubtedly a cub according to the time of the monster.

But teenagers are different.

His demonic power is strong and gentle, and the eyes that look at him seem to glow.

Sakura Ryu stood in the open shell and held out her hand to the young god, who passed her finger just as she had hoped.

- Touched.

- It's so warm......

Sakura Ryu smiled happily, and her fleshy and immature little hands tightly grasped one of the boy's fingers, as if she had grasped the whole world with satisfaction.

————————————————

There had never been a pepper chart that had opened the mussel shell when it was a cub before, and the memory of the cherry blossom inheritance did not say how such a pepper chart should live.

So Sakura-ryu obeyed her heart and followed the boy.

The boy's personality is as gentle and tolerant as his temperament.

He gave her a name with a wicked smile when he couldn't speak—although she already had a name as Jiaotu, who made him Master Qiao, if he liked it, she would accept it even if it was a new name.

He would sit under the cloister and laugh at a bunch of little monsters in the courtyard to play with him.

He would buy soft fabrics in human bazaars to make clothes for himself.

At dusk, he would recite a song-like poem.

He would pull the hairpin up when he tripped over his long uncontrollable hair.

He would teach himself how to control the demonic power more quickly, and he would draw pictures of himself and the monsters in the courtyard and hang them in his study as a souvenir......

He is so gentle, beautiful like the warm sea water by the sun, as long as he touches it, he will indulge in it and will not be willing to leave; It is like a clear breeze and a bright moon, which makes people happy when they see it, but it is out of reach.

When Sakura-ryu returned from her training, she found that the monsters at the shrine were sleeping and leaving, and she couldn't help but start panicking.

She searched for a long time in the mountains, but she didn't find the familiar monster, nor did she find the young man with a warm smile, so she began to sit at the door of the shrine and wait.

"What are you doing here?"

The winged unknown youkai stood on the withered branches, mocking in a hoarse voice.

At that time, Sakura-ryu was still not an adult, but she looked like a human child of five or six years old, and she sat at the door of the shrine, quiet like a statue.

The humans who came to worship couldn't see her, and the youkai - who were friends with the god of Fengyue knew that the god of Fengyue was not there, and rarely came; And those who are not familiar with Fengyue have always stayed away from here.

At first, she could still hear the communication and conversation between the humans who came to worship, but gradually, the god Toyotsuki stopped showing miracles, and the number of humans who came to worship gradually decreased, and Sakura-ryu could rarely hear the voice of talking.

She waited in the shrine for a long, long time, I don't know if it was more than ten years, or dozens or hundreds of years, so long passed, this was the first youkai to talk to her.

At first, Sakura-ryu didn't pay attention to it, but the youkai was so familiar with it that it stood on the branches and kept talking.

"What are you doing here?"

"Wait for someone?"

"Do you know what this place is?"

"It used to be lively here, and the god Fengyue still lived here at that time."

"There are fewer monsters on the mountain, and I heard that there is a dog general in the West who has established a hundred ghost night walks, and everyone has run to him."

"Are you listening? Why don't you speak? ”

"Okay, if you don't speak, forget it, but I'll tell you, you should get out of here quickly."

"This shrine is deserted, and I heard humans say they are going to tear it down......"

"You talk nonsense!"

She hadn't spoken for a long time, and Sakura even felt very uncomfortable in her throat when she opened her mouth, but she couldn't help but retort when she heard this youkai say that the shrine was going to be toppled.

The monster was startled by her sudden voice, flapped its wings, and was surprised for a long time: "So you can speak?" ”

He seemed to have discovered a new continent, and his interest was even stronger, and he couldn't stop chattering.

"Why didn't you just speak?"

"Did you know that Balabala ......"

He talked for a long time, from the sunny until the sky was dark, but Sakura-ryu only retorted in the middle, and then fell silent again, sitting with his legs curled up at the door of the shrine, and I don't know if he listened again.
