Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5845 Keeping the Agreement
His wife knew he neglected the children...

I'll get angry...

……

The man slapped himself hard in the face several times.

……

The man took the child home.

The past turmoil is over.

A new life begins.

He and his child lived alone at home.

……

Time heals all wounds.

Or rather, it can numb everything.

……

Accompanying children as they grow up, watching them go to school and graduate.

The child has gone to work.

The child has started a family.

The child also has a child of his own.

……

The man was lying on a deck chair in the grocery store.

He finally had plenty of time to talk to his wife.

He took good care of the children.

The wife saw...

You'll be happy, won't you?

……

The man increasingly preferred to spend time in the grocery store.

This place is filled with his and his wife's memories.

He stroked his wife's photograph.

The wife in the photo is beautiful and gentle.

A hint of mischievousness lurked in his eyes and brows.

Looking at my blurry reflection in the glass frame...

The man gave a vague smile.

He, however, had already turned gray at the temples and his face was covered with wrinkles.

……

Xu Hao also looked at the woman in the mirror frame.

It looks like it does in its memory.

It pursed its lips.

Cunning humans.

He always makes decisions on his own initiative.

.....
Just as the woman had predicted...

The creature truly fulfilled the promise the woman made to it.

……

I watched the woman stop breathing...

Wasted energy was somewhat surprising.

I was even a little confused.

This is...

Gone?

……

What might not seem like a serious injury to a monster could be fatal to a human.

……

The woman closed her eyes forever.

……

Thinking of the promise the woman made to it at the end...

When the car exploded, the man was thrown out.

Although the man was still covered in wounds, they were all external injuries.

Not fatal.

……

Although somewhat unwilling, Xuhao still stayed in the general store.

Watching my child grow up day by day.

Watching the man grow older day by day.

It felt somewhat peculiar.

This was the first time it had witnessed humanity slowly changing like this.

Time truly has the power to transform decay into wonder in humankind.

The waste was somewhat astonishing.

It observed the man and the child with great interest.

of course.

There's one more thing.

It's the goldfish that guards it.

The woman did speak.

These goldfish all belong to it.

……

The child left the grocery store.

The man continued to run the grocery store.

He wasted his time guarding his goldfish.

……

Then, the waste encountered a child who could see it.

……

Unlike the woman who was wary of it stealing her goldfish, this child was determined to catch the goldfish and give it to it as a thank you gift.

……

Xuhao recalled the several times the woman had taken it upon herself to make agreements with it.

Let it abide by her rules, let it take care of her husband and children.

But this child is different.

This child doesn't need it to do anything.

Instead, I was eager to give it something.

……

This was the first time it had encountered a human who was trying so hard to give it a gift.

……

Seeing the child fail time and time again, it thought it would never receive the gift.

But it doesn't matter.

The child doesn't know.

These goldfish originally belonged to it.

I never expected this...

The child found a helper.

The helper is really amazing.

It...after a long time...

It really did receive a gift from its child.

……

Its feelings were somewhat complicated.

I couldn't tell whether I was happy or surprised.

This gift...

In the end, it still ended up in its hands.

……

After the child left with the old man and Xiao Xiao, Xu Hao stared at the little goldfish the child had given it. Then…

It picked up the little goldfish and placed it in its palm.

……

Well.

It's been a long time since I've had this.

Xuhao stared at the little goldfish thrashing about in its palm and smacked its lips a few times.

It's almost forgotten...

What do goldfish taste like now?

....
These are the goldfish the child caught.
Whoever caught it...

These are the child's goldfish.

The child gave the goldfish to it.

Those are its goldfish.

It did not break its promise to the woman.

……

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

He was slightly surprised.

The lady who has already left…
She used a few small goldfish to "tie down" Xu Hao and have him look after her husband and children for a while.

Really...

What a great deal!

He smiled.

"You keep your promise."

The woman was very lucky.

What we encountered was a waste of time that strictly adhered to the agreement.

Instead of a monster who breaks his word.

"You're fine."

The woman's tragic death in a car accident is deeply regrettable.

But if the woman's spirit is watching from heaven, and she sees that Xuhao has been keeping her promise to her, taking care of her husband and children...

She will be very happy.

……

Xu Hao was stunned for a moment.

Then, his gaze drifted away, and he pursed his lips.

Strange humans.

It didn't do anything either...

Being praised as very good by a human...

The wasteful spending felt a bit strange.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He changed the subject.

"Thank you for telling me this story."

He tilted his head. "So why are you following me?"

He had asked the same question before, but Xuhao had not provided an answer.

Instead, it showed off the little goldfish in its palm.

Never...

Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback.

Xu Hao deliberately came to his presence...

Eat the goldfish...

……

It doesn't make sense.

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

Waste doesn't seem like such a boring monster.

There was no reason for Xuhao to do this in front of him.

He hadn't done anything to make it necessary for Xu Hao to act this way in front of him...

……

Xu Hao was taken aback.

Its eyes darted around.

How did we end up back at this question again?

Stubborn humans.

but……

Speaking of reasons...

There really isn't any particular reason.

It just followed along on a whim.

……

Can't this human being simply refrain from asking this question?

The waste of energy caused me a slight sense of irritability.

Who cares why it follows him?
Uh.

This human probably really needs to be taken care of...

After all, it was this human being who was being followed.

……

Alright alright.

Xu Huo pursed his lips.

Since this human so desperately wants the answer, it will give it to him.

Isn't it just telling this human...?

It followed this human for no particular reason.

Simply out of curiosity.

It's rare to encounter such a thing...

A human carrying a demon.

……

Humans who can see it are not particularly special.

Both the woman and the child who brought the human could see it.

It also had some interaction with them.

But humans possessed by demons...
That's really extremely rare.

……

This human can not only see monsters...

It can also subdue monsters.

……

and……

The subdued monster and this human have a pretty good relationship.

There was not a trace of resentment or bitterness at being subdued.

This is not what it expected.

It was originally thinking...

If it discovers a monster's unwilling expression on a human's body, it will mock the monster mercilessly.

No.

The waste finally realized what was happening.

It should turn around and run away first.

To avoid becoming one of those unwilling monsters themselves.

……

Thinking about it this way...

My body was stiff from exhaustion.

It subtly and stealthily retreated a little.
