Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5407 Small Auspiciousness

"Aren't you here?"

The young scholar couldn't help but reach out his hand.

“You are right here.”

"Isn't it?"

After hesitating for a while, the young scholar still didn't dare to put his hands on the black thief.

He was a little afraid of being bitten.

This little black thief eats so fast and bites apples so neatly, his teeth must be very sharp...

He doesn't want to take the risk.

His hands are important.

To write.

……

The young scholar clasped his fingers together slightly.

Then he slowly withdrew his hand.

……

"...You ate so many of my buns..."

The young scholar tilted his head slightly, "And fruit."

"Shouldn't you thank me?"

……

The black thief swallowed the last steamed bun.

There was no response to the young scholar's words.

……

The young scholar smiled as he saw the little black thief put his claws into the bowl again.

"Nothing."

"You ate all the buns."

“You ate so much…”

The young scholar observed the black thief carefully and did not find that the other party looked full at all, which made him even more surprised.

"Are you not full yet?"

……

The young scholar blinked.

He rubbed his eyes again.

Is he seeing things?

He just...

"Did you roll your eyes at me?"

The young scholar asked his doubts.

Did I see it wrong?

But it seems that before...the two times we met...

Did the little black thief also roll his eyes at him?
……

The young scholar couldn't remember clearly.

During this period, he needed to remember too many things.

Some insignificant details...

Naturally...it was forgotten.

……

So it didn't stop him from being surprised as if he was seeing it for the first time.

of course.

Or maybe he really was seeing it for the first time.

……

Small animals that roll their eyes...

So human.

What a smart little guy.

The young scholar was very emotional.

……

He suddenly felt that he had gone too far in competing for food with such a clever little creature twice before.

A little guy you see often.

And it has such a peculiar appearance.

maybe……

It's something special...

The young scholar's eyes lit up.

A word came to his mind.

Auspicious!

……

Yup!

Spiritual animals are regarded as symbols of good luck.

Black Thief-
cough cough.

What little thief?
bah bah.

The young scholar pouted in his heart.

Is there anyone who offends auspiciousness like him?

So what should he be called?
The young scholar was a little troubled.

Little guy, little thing...

It seems that they are all a little too intimate and a little impolite.

How can he be called auspicious little guy?

Or something small?
……

The young scholar thought of something.

"...Taotie..."

He murmured softly.

Then he noticed the small black creature looking at him
After a brief moment of stunned silence, he smiled slightly, "Do you know Taotie?"

"The description of Taotie I read in the book is very similar to you."

"you……"

"Is it Taotie?"

The young scholar couldn't help but ask this absurd guess.

……

The young scholar held his breath and stared at the little black animal for a while, but still didn't get any response.

The slight reaction before seemed to be just his illusion.

No.

It's not his imagination.

However, the reason why the little black animal reacted to this might not be what he thought.

……

"you……"

The young scholar paused, then continued, "Do you like the word Taotie?" "Taotie is a very famous monster in human legends."

“It is a very powerful existence.”

……

The little black animal seemed to glance at him.

The young scholar was unsure.

Because the eyes of black animals are in a very special position.

He was not used to looking into the other person's eyes under the armpit.

Speaking of which…

"You look a lot like the Taotie described in the book."

The young scholar was somewhat surprised.

"Every description fits..."

The young scholar was a little stunned.

"……Apart from……"

“Body size.”

The young scholar's eyes regained clarity.

"The Taotie described in the book is very large."

"Instead of being...small like you."

The young scholar gestured with his hand.

"and……"

The young scholar smiled.

"Even Taotie can't do it..."

The young scholar struggled for a while over his words.

"Won't……"

"Go to someone else's house... and eat steamed buns."

That Taotie is also mixed up...

It's a bit tragic... isn't it?

……

The young scholar opened his eyes wide.

"You rolled your eyes again, didn't you?"

This time, he was more certain.

"You don't agree with what I said?"

"Do you think Taotie will do the same thing as you?"

……

The young scholar wanted to laugh.

The little black creature always does this himself.

So you even think that a big monster like Taotie would behave in the same way as it does?

……

Wouldn't Taotie be discovered as soon as he entered someone else's house?

The young scholar couldn't help but start daydreaming along the lines of the little black animal's point of view.

Taotie is so big.

……

The young scholar quickly shook his head.

What is he thinking about?
It is impossible for Taotie to steal food from ordinary people's homes.

Even if we take a step back, the targets of the gluttons must be the delicacies from land and sea in the homes of the rich and powerful.

In fact, Taotie doesn't need to steal food at all.

It wants to eat...

He believed that many dignitaries would be willing to offer it delicacies from land and sea.

……

He had the same thought about the little black animal in front of him.

"What else do you want to eat?"

"I'll give them all to you."

"Your appearance..."

The young scholar couldn't help but murmur, "Does this mean that my next exam will be..."

The young scholar swallowed unconsciously.

"High school in one fell swoop."

The young scholar spoke softly.

It's also very slow.

It's like every word weighs a thousand pounds.

……

"Are you an auspicious sign that brings good luck?"

The young scholar could not suppress similar speculations in his heart.

……

He saw the little black creature again -
No.

From now on, he would call the other party...

Black auspiciousness.

Well.

It seems a bit too long.

Then...

Small auspicious sign.

……

Young scholars are not greedy.

He has confidence.

With his ability and a little luck, he would be able to realize his ambitions and rise to the top.

....
Xiao Xiangrui seemed to roll his eyes at him again.

The young scholar was stunned.

He suddenly thought...

Did he misunderstand?
In fact, Xiao Xiangrui was not rolling his eyes.

But does it mean something else?
……

The young scholar shook his head.

He should not speculate on what Xiao Xiangrui meant.

"But it's tomorrow."

The young scholar looked at the sky outside.

"It's a little late today."

He was embarrassed to ask his sister-in-law to cook extra food for him.

"you……"

Speaking of his sister-in-law, he thought of a big doubt of his own.

"Why did my brother and sister-in-law say they didn't see you?"
