Pei You knew Xiaolu's impatience, so he didn't say anything more, but suggested.
In fact, she was also very worried.
After all, it was her who caused this incident.
If she hadn't cared about some random things, this wouldn't have happened.
As time went by, she became more and more anxious.
…
"Master Xiao."
Pei You called tentatively towards the river.
Seeing this, Xiaolu put his hands together to his mouth and shouted loudly, "Master Xiao, where are you?"
"Master Xiao!"
"Master Xiao!"
…
The girl's screams echoed above the river.
After a while, another man's voice was added.
…
Xiao Xiao's ears in the water twitched and his swimming body stopped.
The drowned ghost turned around and looked at him in confusion, "Play, play."
"Sorry, Drowned Ghost."
Xiao Xiao's words made Drowned Gui roll his eyes uneasily.
It swam to Xiao Xiao's side, grabbed his wrist, looked up at Xiao Xiao's green eyes and unconsciously revealed a hint of expectation, "Play, play."
"I want to go back."
Xiao Xiao didn't pay attention to Drowned Gui's action of grabbing his hand.
He patted the monster on the head with his free hand.
...
"Play, play."
The drowned ghost's voice became a bit shriller.
The green eyes seemed to have water sloshing in them.
"Drunken ghost."
Xiao Xiao's voice was light and gentle. He raised the wrist that was grabbed by the drowned ghost and said, "Don't grab human wrists casually in the future."
"Not on your ankles, or anywhere on your body."
"They'll be scared."
"Human beings cannot breathe in water."
"So, if you insist on dragging them to play with you, they will drown."
Seeing the confused and confused look on Drowned Gui's face, Xiao Xiao changed his explanation and said, "In other words, they can no longer play with you."
"Do you want this?"
"No, no, play, play."
The drowned ghost shook his head and repeated the same words almost stubbornly.
Like a willful child.
But there was a hint of grievance.
...
"Drown ghost, don't worry."
"Maybe there won't be any kids coming for a while."
Seeing the why on the monster's face, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Because you scared them."
"It's human instinct to avoid danger."
"I think-"
"Why don't you live somewhere farther away in the river."
The people in this area have been frightened twice by this monster. It may take longer than before for them to relax their vigilance against this place.
"Change to another section of the river where there will be people to play with you."
"Play with me."
Seeing the monster's eyes sparkling instantly, Xiao Xiao's lips that were about to curl up stopped because of the sudden voice in his heart.
Then, the corners of his mouth gradually straightened.
"My lord, a drowned ghost cannot leave the waters where he was born."
The water where you were born?
Is it just this area in a narrow sense, not the entire river?
"This drowned ghost doesn't have enough demonic power to break free from the constraints here."
"If its demonic power were stronger, it could go to other river sections."
"In other words, as long as the demonic power of this drowned ghost is strong enough, it can go to any water body."
"That's the theory."
"But it's hard."
Needless to say, Ayu knew how difficult it was.
This is about breaking the innate shackles.
It can't be done without overwhelming force.
...
But you can’t even go to the adjacent river section?
This monster is "the same on the outside"... weak.
No wonder Pei You was able to get rid of its imprisonment before.
Although the drowned ghost's hand stretched out of the water, its reduced strength was also a reason.
Xiao Xiao sighed and smiled helplessly.
"Drown ghost, if you want to play with human children, then practice hard."
"Change another river section."
"Perhaps by that time, there will be children here who are willing to come and play."
"Approach patiently and don't grab the other person in a hurry. You will find children who are willing to play with you."
...
"Practice?"
The drowned ghost's eyes swayed, as if he didn't understand, but also seemed to understand.
"Yes, practice."
"Otherwise you won't be able to leave here."
"leave?"
The drowned ghost suddenly speeded up and swam forward.
Turning to look at Xiao Xiao, a cheerful smile appeared on his face.
...
"ah!"
After a certain distance, Drowned Ghost's forward body suddenly stopped.
It curled up as if it had been punched by someone, moaning in pain.
"Drunken ghost."
"Master Xiao!"
Xiao Xiao's voice overlapped with the deer's cry of surprise.
...
Xiao Xiao was stunned.
He looked up, and in the rippling water, the faces of Xiaolu, Pei You, and Pei Liang were clear and blurry.
But the surprise in everyone's eyes was very clear.
He smiled and waved to everyone, indicating that they would wait for him for a while.
Then, without waiting for their reaction, Xiao Xiao swam to the drowned ghost who huddled up in a ball.
"Drown ghost, are you okay?"
...
"Why?"
If Pei You hadn't pulled him, the deer's face would have been in the water.
"Why did Master Xiao wander away again?"
"He probably asked us to wait a little longer."
Pei Liang recalled Master Xiao's gesture just now and guessed, "He probably hasn't finished his work yet."
"whats the matter?"
Pei You's brows knitted together, "Isn't Master Xiao the only one in the water?"
However, "It's great that Master Xiao is fine."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
It really scared her to death before.
"yes."
The deer became quiet.
After seeing Master Xiao's unmistakable smile, she knew that Master Xiao was fine.
"That's great."
Xiaolu pursed her lips and smiled with crescent moon eyes.
...
"It hurts~"
The drowned ghost raised his head, his green eyes sparkling with tears.
Xiao Xiao:......
"Chi~"
A disdainful snort came from above his head.
Xiao Xiao reached out and touched Drowned Gui's head.
Slippery and cool to the touch.
"I told you that you can't leave here now."
"Do you know it hurts now?"
...
The drowned ghost glanced ahead with some fear.
There was obviously no difference between the place there and where it was now, but to it, it seemed as if it had seen a scourge.
Pain that he had never felt before hit his whole body.
very scary.
The drowned ghost burst into tears.
It never leaves again.
It hurts to leave.
...
"It's fine."
"When you become stronger in the future, it won't hurt anymore."
"There's nothing I can do to stop you here, Drowned Ghost."
Xiao Xiao looked at the shivering Drowned Ghost.
"don't want."
The drowned ghost shook his head, "It hurts."
"Chi~"
A louder sound of breathing out of the nose came from above the head.
Xiao Xiao ignored it.
To be honest, he was a little surprised.
"Then you can't leave here, and there will be no one to play with you."
"Play."
The drowned ghost's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head like a rattle, "No."
"No, it hurts."
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment and then laughed a little.
