Zhaozhao stuck to Song Yao's arms again, lingering with Song Yao for a long time. It was not until Song Yao, unable to bear it, pushed her away, asking her to return to her own room, that Zhaozhao left with a last glance.
After returning to her room, Zhaozhao recalled the words Song Yao said to her. Excited, she laid on her bed, wrapped herself up in the quilt, and rolled a few times. After rolling, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten something. She thought for a long time before finally remembering.
Where was her spirit pet? How come she hadn't seen Taotie after returning for so long?
Suddenly recalling Taotie, Zhaozhao got up from the bed, put on her slippers, and jumped off the bed to look for Taotie. She searched everywhere in the small apartment but couldn't find Taotie. She didn't know where the guy had run off to.
Because Zhuang Ming's matter had occupied most of her mind these days, she had not been able to complete the live eating show business she had agreed on with Taotie on time. She did not know if Taotie was angry because of this.
But thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem possible. During the days when she had not been live streaming, Taotie had been working diligently and was very willing to clock in for the live stream on time every night. Just eating those things should have been enough to make it happy. How could it be angry?
If it wasn't this reason, then what was it?
Zhaozhao stared at the messy nest that Taotie had slept in, thinking for a few seconds before suddenly recalling the words her master had said to her.
Taotie had said that it had seen her in the Wuhuang Valley before. It had also been beaten up by her. It had thought of her as the goddess in the Wuhuang Valley. Could it be because of this that it felt embarrassed and had hidden itself away so that it didn't dare to see her?
The more Zhaozhao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. As she saw that the sky outside had already darkened completely, she started to get anxious.
It was okay in the past. Taotie had been a small wild animal that no one had cared about. It could be as happy as it wanted to be outside. But now, this was not the demon realm but the human world. It was still a demon that had a master. Running out in the middle of the night, if something happened, Zhaozhao would feel bad.
The more Zhaozhao thought about it, the more she felt that she should immediately call Taotie back. After thinking about it, she decided to use the contract between the spirit pet and the master.
From the contract, it seemed that Taotie was not very conscious?
Zhaozhao tried to call out to it a few times from the bottom of her heart. She could feel Taotie's confused state. This was the first time Zhaozhao had felt helpless while raising a pet. No wonder some families quarreled because of their small pets.
"Who is calling this young master?" Taotie, who was far away, finally felt Zhaozhao's call. But at this moment, it was drunk and could not tell the difference between east and west. Even its voice was stuttering, like a big tongue.
Zhaozhao was extremely shocked. She had only known that Taotie could eat before. She had not thought that Taotie could drink!
According to the eight o'clock family ethics dramas she had watched, whenever someone drank wine, something bad was bound to happen. Zhaozhao was also a little panicked. She was afraid that Taotie would run out and cause some trouble. Causing trouble was the second. She was afraid that it would hurt itself.
Although this guy was a demon beast, Zhaozhao could not help but worry about it after seeing its unreliable appearance.
"Taotie, wake up. Where are you?" Zhaozhao used her magic power to send a voice transmission over. The voice that reached Taotie's ear became a little fuzzy. It was wrapped up by the wind and was not very clear.
"Annoying. Stop talking. Who is buzzing in this young master's ear? Come out and this young master promises to beat you to death!" Taotie's angry voice came. Zhaozhao frowned and covered her ears. Its voice was still as loud as before. It sounded like it had plenty of energy. It should not have suffered any losses.
"Fifth brother, you should go back. If you don't go back, Zhaozhao will not be able to find you and will be worried." A clear male voice came from Taotie's side. Zhaozhao searched in her memory for a while and recognized it as Chu Ming.
Zhaozhao immediately let out a sigh of relief. It was good that Taotie was not alone. With its fourth brother here, it should be able to take care of it.
"Go back?" Taotie was drunk. Its small ears were exposed. They were pressed down by a small yellow duck hat. It looked soft and did not have the fierce aura of the fierce beast in the legend.
It stretched out its small claws and rubbed its eyes. "Oh~ I know. I should go back. My stupid master is still waiting for me at home."
Zhaozhao thought that it had finally remembered that it had a master waiting for it. At this moment, she seemed to understand her cousin's mood.
The internet was right. Whoever took care of a child would be haggard.
Chu Ming looked at his younger brother who was drunk and unconscious. He was also worried that it would go back alone.
It was not that he was worried that something would happen to it. After all, this guy had a hard head. It might not matter even if it was beaten up. He was just afraid that it would accidentally cause some trouble. After all, the relationship between the demons and the humans was still a little tense. It was better to be careful.
Thinking this way, he directly picked up his younger brother, who was injured and could only transform into a child, with one hand. He carried him on his shoulder and sent him back.
Zhaozhao knew through the induction that Chu Ming would send Taotie home. Therefore, she did not go to sleep in a hurry. Instead, she sat in the living room, playing with a glass cup, waiting.
Previously, Fifth Senior Brother had come out and told her that he had something to do and needed to return to the Kunlun Ruins. He had left. Jiang Yun had also been sent to a hotel to stay. It was her own request. She was probably afraid that Zhaozhao and the others would harm her if she stayed here. Therefore, after saying her request, she had left in a hurry.
Now, there were only Zhaozhao and Song Yao left in the apartment.
She did not know what her cousin was busy with. She looked very tired. She had gone to sleep early. Now, there was only her in the living room. It was a little too quiet.
When Zhaozhao did not know how many yawns she had yawned, the doorbell finally rang.
"Husband... Zhaozhao, I have sent Taotie back." Chu Ming opened his mouth and said half a word. He did not know what he had thought of and changed his words.
Zhaozhao looked at Taotie, who had returned to its original form and was curled up in Chu Ming's arms. For a moment, she felt her heart soften. Sure enough, furry things were the cutest. Even Taotie, with its impolite temper, looked like it had a soft side.
Zhaozhao took Taotie from Chu Ming's arms and thanked him. She turned around and carried Taotie to the bathroom.
Taotie did not know where it had gone to drink. It smelled of alcohol. The smell was mixed together and was a little unpleasant. Zhaozhao could not bear it and wanted to give it a bath.
It was fortunate that Taotie was not conscious now. If it was awake and saw that one of the four famous fierce beasts, who was famous far and wide, was actually going to be bathed in the bathtub by a little girl, it would definitely be angry.
Zhaozhao happily stroked the furry while giving Taotie a bath. Taotie was comfortable and made a sound.
It was not easy to give this guy a bath. It woke up when Zhaozhao was blowing its hair. It could be said that it had woken up, but it was not completely awake.
Taotie squinted its eyes and looked at Zhaozhao for a long time but could not recognize that the person in front of it was its master. As it looked, it suddenly sighed.
Zhaozhao found it funny. It actually had something on its mind?
"Why are you sighing?"
Taotie lazily kicked its feet and sighed again. "I am sighing for our stupid master."
Zhaozhao was happy when she heard this. It was related to her?
"What happened to her that you need to sigh for her?"
"Sigh... Poor her. She is so stupid that she does not even know her own identity. She finally likes someone, but the person keeps pushing her away."
This was not right. Zhaozhao was a little unhappy. Her cousin had clearly said that she and Su Yuan were destined by the heavens. What was Taotie saying here? She did not like to hear it! She was a little unhappy and used the towel to wipe Taotie's head. She retaliated against it a little.
"Ouch, be gentle! How are you serving?" Taotie complained unhappily. Zhaozhao ignored it.
It had a belly full of bitterness and could not find anyone to talk to. Now that it finally had someone by its side and it happened to be when its consciousness was not clear, it opened its mouth and started talking.
Zhaozhao was so annoyed that she wanted to stop it. "Shut up. Don't talk anymore. Go to sleep quickly." Zhaozhao did not have the mood to play with her spirit pet now. She just wanted to quickly settle this little ancestor down and then lie in her own bed comfortably. She had a good sleep. Her mood had been up and down all day. It had made her spirit a little fragile.
Taotie was very dissatisfied with her attitude. It stretched out its claws and grabbed Zhaozhao's clothes. It did not let her go. "No, you are not allowed to go. You must listen to this young master finish speaking today!"
She did not expect that the drunk Taotie would be so clingy. Zhaozhao had no choice but to sit back down. She nodded her head and asked it. "What do you want to say? Say it quickly. After you say it, go to sleep."
Taotie was drowsy. One of its claws was stretched out. It went up and down. It could not even sit still. It flipped over and laid in its own nest. Its tail was swaying comfortably. Its tone sounded sad. "Sigh, my stupid master is so pitiful..."
It said that she was pitiful again. What kind of image did she have in Taotie's heart? Zhaozhao could not figure it out. Could it be that she had given it some wrong information in the past, making it think that she was pitiful?
Zhaozhao felt that this matter needed to be explained properly. She was about to explain it to Taotie when she did not expect its next words to make her stand there in a daze.
Taotie said. "You do not know that the person my master likes does not like her. On top of that, he is a frail and gentle husband! Sigh, you said that this matter is so troublesome..."
What? Did Taotie know what it was saying? What frail and gentle husband... Su Yuan did not seem to have anything to do with these four words.
What was wrong with Taotie? Did it drink too much and become stupid?
Zhaozhao laughed and pulled its beard. She asked it. "Do you know what you are saying?"
The famous fierce beast Taotie hated it when others pulled its beard. It impatiently stretched out its claws and slapped Zhaozhao's hand away. "This young master naturally knows what he is saying. But you actually dared to pull, pull this young master's beard. Bold! You are challenging the superior... " It stuttered and could not even speak clearly. It still wanted to show off.
Zhaozhao was not willing to give up. She reached out and pulled it again. She was going to challenge the superior. "You actually said that the dignified Lord Ying Long is a frail and gentle husband. Do you still remember how scared you were when you saw him?"
Regarding this memory, the drunk Taotie clearly did not forget. However, it seemed very unconvinced. It shouted. "So what? He still lies in bed every day!"
"What did you say?"
