Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 672 - 671: Xiaoxiao Can’t Speak Yet
Chapter 672: Chapter 671: Xiaoxiao Can’t Speak Yet
Aside from venturing to places seldom visited by others, Mianmian also needed to inform her family.
Furthermore, she had to request leave from kindergarten and her live-streaming beforehand.
No one knew how long it would take to undergo the trials.
Elder Su and Old Lady Su felt helpless when Mianmian said she was about to embark on another perilous journey and persuaded her, "Little Auntie, let’s not go. Can’t we just have the Black Tortoise catch him and put an end to this once and for all?"
Mianmian replied, "We’ve already agreed, don’t worry. As long as we have a deal not to hurt each other inside, it’s fine. This treasure has such a restriction."
The trial would only end when either Su Ji and her reached an outcome where they couldn’t stand each other, or they became friends.
This was the type of trial Mianmian had come up with.
Su Ji had agreed to it as well.
After talking to her family, Mianmian went to find Gu Youyou, telling her that she needed to be away for a while but they could play together again upon her return.
Gu Youyou was very reluctant to part with Mianmian.
The little one looked left and right, and for some reason, set her gaze on Su Ji, "It must be because you need Mianmian’s help that she can’t play with me, huh."
The blatant disdain in Youyou’s eyes made Su Ji raise an eyebrow, "Is that so? What would you like to do about it, then?"
Youyou replied, "I want to dislike you, and I won’t play with you in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ji couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
But Liu Hui, concerned, hurried to her daughter’s side and took her hand. She didn’t apologize to Su Ji, just silently looked at him for a while before saying to Mianmian, "Little Auntie, Youyou and I will wait for your return."
Liu Hui had been paying close attention to Mianmian, seeing her talk with Black Tortoise and Su Ji, though she couldn’t hear what they were discussing.
Now that Mianmian was about to take an indefinite leave, Liu Hui and her daughter, Youyou, whose hearts were connected, thought similarly and suspected that it had something to do with Su Ji.
However, Liu Hui was an adult, and she knew her daughter was being too naive.
If Mianmian only needed leave to help Su Ji, she surely would have mentioned what kind of help she was providing. Helping wasn’t something bad, and dropping a hint wouldn’t have hurt.
But Mianmian only mentioned needing to take leave, which surely meant there was some bad business they weren’t supposed to get involved with...
"Mmhm, I will come back early," Mianmian replied to Liu Hui’s words, then followed the Black Tortoise and the others to leave.
Mianmian was off to bet with Su Ji inside the Mountain River Sheji Map—a significant event. Upon hearing about it, all the little friends wanted to stay outside the map to watch over her.
"Don’t you all need to go to school?" Mianmian said to Liao An, "Going to school is very important; don’t ask for leave."
Liao An retorted, "How can we go to school, not knowing if you’re safe?"
Ying Fang and Ying Miao nodded wildly.
Ever since they started attending school, the siblings realized that sometimes, being able to communicate wasn’t enough. To handle situations properly, they needed to adopt behaviors that fit with current human society.
Thus, the two became Liao An’s yes-men, obediently following whatever he said, so they wouldn’t cause any trouble for Mianmian.
This was also why the three non-humans had managed to blend into primary school without causing any incidents.
Now that Mianmian was about to face danger, the siblings followed their previous habit and nodded, only then remembering that they could try to express themselves more with Mianmian.
"Mianmian, be careful."
"Mianmian, we’re really worried about you. Why don’t you let us come in with you?"
Mianmian shook her head, "No, the more people there are, the more complicated the Mountain River Sheji Map becomes. Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to Mianmian!"
Little Bun assured the Zombies and Snake Demons of her safety, patting her chest confidently.
Su Ji stood aside, looking here and there, and couldn’t help but ask Black Tortoise, "With so many Demons and Fairies by her side, it’s almost like she’s about to start a new Investiture of the Gods."
The Black Tortoise couldn’t be bothered with Su Ji, merely glancing at him, without a word.
Investiture of the Gods? So what if he, one of the Primordial Quartet Spirits, was now by Su Mianmian’s side? Was the Heavenly Dao planning to give him another promotion?
This time, would the Black Tortoise also become the Heavenly Emperor, or would it offer him a seat as the ruler of the Heavenly Dao?
Su Ji’s notion wasn’t wrong; something was bound to happen. But to think only of the Investiture of the Gods suggested that even after growing for three thousand years, Su Ji’s mind was still a foolish one.
With such intellect, it was no surprise that in the past, he was easily deceived and became a nation-bewitching Demon, and due to greed, he had misperformed an instruction. That was Su Ji’s own fault; what face did he have to blame others now? freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The fact that Su Ji still had a fox’s life was due to the benevolence of the heavens.
The disdain in Black Tortoise’s eyes was too obvious to ignore, even if Su Ji wanted to.
Yet he couldn’t do much about it, after all, he brought this upon himself.
He might as well urge Mianmian to enter the map sooner!
Just as Su Ji was about to urge her, a Golden Hoop Stick suddenly fell from the sky in the deserted forest, headed straight for Su Ji’s head with lethal force, startling him so much that he used all his abilities to reluctantly step back just enough to avoid the fatal blow.
His nine tails swished behind him as white fur characteristic of his transformed state appeared on his face. He looked up at the little monkey perched on the stick, speechless.
If he wasn’t mistaken, that stick was the Golden Hoop Stick, right?
The owner of the Golden Hoop Stick, wasn’t that the unruly monkey? It seemed that person wasn’t entirely sincere, speaking in half-truths.
With the Great Sage Qi Tian, Sun Wukong, on Su Mianmian’s side, if he really fought with Mianmian, he’d definitely be ganged upon.
It looked like that person’s offer to cooperate was indeed unreliable.
Having made up his mind, Su Ji called out, "Isn’t Mr. Sun overdoing it a bit? Is it respectable for the Great Sage Qi Tian to resort to a surprise attack?"
Xiaoxiao shrunk the Golden Hoop Stick and stood on it, hovering high above and staring down at Su Ji.
In his golden beastly eyes shone a defiant unconcern.
He didn’t say a word, which infuriated Su Ji even more, "I’m the Nine-Tailed Fox, not the same as those Demons you beat to death in your previous life. You don’t say a word, isn’t this too insulting to Demons?"
Just as Mianmian finished saying goodbye to Liao An and the others, she heard Su Ji’s complaint and couldn’t resist joining in, "No, Xiaoxiao can’t speak yet, it’s not intentionally insulting you."
Su Ji: ...
A monkey who hadn’t learned to speak yet already showed such an aggressive stance when fighting demons; if he could speak, would Su Ji have turned into fox mud by now?
"Chatter, chatter, chatter," Xiaoxiao moved in front of Mianmian to speak with her.
[Child, why are you being so rash?]
It had been quite a while since Mianmian had last seen Xiaoxiao.
During their last meeting, Xiaoxiao had asked for some invisibility charms, and then was rarely seen.
Mianmian didn’t expect that such a brief time apart could lead to such a change in Xiaoxiao’s manner of speaking, taking on a tone befitting that of an elder.
Being referred to as a child was somewhat amusing! This tone was exactly what one would expect from the Great Sage Qi Tian, wasn’t it?
