“Of course.” Xia Nuo smiled softly, and stretched out his little finger, “If you don’t believe me, how about we picky promise?”
Xia Nuo will not make promises easily, but once he makes a promise, he will absolutely keep it.
“Well,” the monster is fascinated by his cute smile, and the two fingers, one big and one small, are hooked together, and the picture is wonderful and harmonious.
“Let’s just say that.” The monster said very seriously.
He really wanted to stay with the boy for a while longer, but he didn’t sign the contract, and he clearly felt that the rules rejected him.
He replaced the mermaid’s identity before, so he took advantage of the loopholes in the rules. Now that he has restored his original identity, the rules will not be as forgiving as before.
Krowrick sighed a long time in his heart, and said very reluctantly: “I should leave now.”
Although this ‘leaving’ is not like returning to the abyss as Xia Nuo thought, he can still accompany the young man, but Xia Nuo cannot discover his existence.
The thought of not being able to see his figure in the boy’s eyes, although only temporarily, was unbearable to the monster.
“Be sure to come and summon me quickly.” He reminded again, the small figure gradually became transparent and finally dissipated into the air.
Xia Nuo nodded halfway through, looked at his empty palm with a sense of loss, and sighed faintly after a while.
If he summons, it should be Krowrick in adult form, right?
Of course, he didn’t mean that there was anything wrong with an adult-sized Krowrick, but the tiny, Thumbelina-like monster looked even cuter.
Moreover, he doesn’t have the strong sense of aggression like an adult monster, and he looks obedient and sticky. Xia Nuo wants to play with him for a while.
If Krowrick knew Xia Nuo’s thoughts now, he probably wouldn’t care.
Anyway, whether it is an adult body or a shrunken appearance, there is no difference in essence, it is him anyway.
As long as Xia Nuo likes it, he doesn’t care what kind of appearance he likes.
Xia Nuo stood up. When he just came back here, he only had a glimpse, and then he was attracted by the change of the monster. Only now did he realise that he had indeed returned to the house on Knock Street.
So Krowrick brought him back?
Xia Nuo touched his pocket, and the necklace inside was still intact. Remembering that the monster had said that Miss Mermaid had returned to her mansion, he decided to return the necklace to her first and complete the task.
But as soon as he took a step, Xia Nuo stopped, looked at the little white dress on his body, and thought happily: Fortunately, he found out that if he went out wearing such clothes, he would be regarded as a pervert, right?
But the clothes can be changed, but he doesn’t know what to do with the hair.
Did he want to cut it off?
Xia Nuo gestured with the scissors for a long time, but in the end, he still couldn’t make up his mind. What if the scissors were cut in a mess? He had no confidence in his craft at all.
And he didn’t know when the hair growth potion would expire, Xia Nuo regretted that he didn’t ask clearly at the beginning.
Xia Nuo hesitated for a long time and finally tied it into a high ponytail very clumsily.
Fortunately, it is not uncommon for boys to have long hair nowadays, and the long hair tied into a high ponytail does not go against the harmony of teenagers but instead shows a rare heroism.
However, while walking on the road, Xia Nuo still received many stares with unknown meanings.
Some people stared at him openly, while some thought they were hiding, but Xia Nuo had already discovered him.
Xia Nuo couldn’t help being a little dazed, he didn’t understand why he suddenly became a celebrity after he had only been away for a few days, as if everyone knew him, and they would look at him from time to time and gather together to whisper.
I also know that what they are talking about must be about him.
But when Xia Nuo looked over, the three or five people who gathered quickly walked away as if nothing had happened. He wanted to go up and ask, but he didn’t find a chance.
Xia Nuo had no choice but to suppress this doubt in his heart for the time being. To go to Miss Mermaid’s mansion, he had to pass the little girl Xixi’s house. Xia Nuo thought that he had not contacted her for several days, so he couldn’t help but stop.
He rang the doorbell, but no one answered after waiting for a long time.
She should not be at home, right? Have you dealt with what she said last time?
Xia Nuo thought so and regretted not asking her about the transaction method before.
Let’s take a look next time.
Thinking of this, Xia Nuo turned and left.
He didn’t know that in the apartment he thought was empty, there were two pairs of eyes watching him through the windows on the second floor.
The owner of one pair of eyes is the little girl Xixi who Xia Nuo thought was not at home, and the other is a man with a very ordinary appearance who is hard to find even when he is hidden in the crowd.
“Is he the target this time?” the man said.
Xixi nodded silently: “I didn’t expect you to take over this commission.”
“No way.” The man spread his hands, “I’m not the same as you, a free player. You can refuse this commission, but I can’t.”
“I’m a little curious.” The little girl frowned, “How did he provoke your master? With such a generous price, even I was a little tempted at first.”
“Don’t tell me, I’m also curious.” The man smiled slightly, “So I secretly asked about it, and guess what’s going on?”
“Let’s just say it, don’t be a secret.” The little girl said impatiently.
She has cooperated with this man several times, and the relationship is not too bad, but she is still insensitive to the man’s occasional bad taste.
“I don’t guarantee that the news will be accurate.” The man didn’t want to say anything nonsensical, “What I found out was that he killed the master’s most successful experiment.”
“Ah?” A rare look of surprise appeared on the little girl’s face.
No matter how she looked at it, she didn’t think the boy was the kind of person who would take the initiative to kill someone.
“My master is such a self-willed person.” The man didn’t care about her reaction, but exaggeratedly said, “If you ruined his plan, can you stop him from holding grudges?”
When such mocking words were uttered, the man’s originally plain face suddenly became much more vivid.
Anyone can see that he doesn’t agree with the master in his mouth at all.
The little girl glanced at him rather speechlessly, hesitated for a moment, and said, “I want to ask you something, are you still looking for your former master recently?”
When she asked this question, she was ready for the man to turn his face. After all, she also knew that the ‘former master’ was the man’s reverse scale, But she didn’t expect him to be very calm this time.
Unlike before, when every time he was mentioned, he always had an irritable face or even flew into a rage. This time, his performance made the little girl seem to guess something: “Have you found any clues about him?”
Hearing this, the man even had a look of joy on his face, and he nodded: “Yes, and it’s thanks to the goal this time.”
He didn’t explain what was going on in detail, but said: “For this sake, maybe I will let him go.”
Little girl, “…”
She was silent for a while, but in the end she didn’t say anything, she just complained silently in her heart: I’m not sure who will let who go!
She didn’t tell the man that Xia Nuo was about to summon a high-level monster, but instead prepared to watch the show with great interest.
——After all, her favourite thing is to watch the excitement.
Xia Nuo walked to the door of Miss Mermaid’s mansion, and the two guards at the door greeted him warmly when they saw him: “You are finally here, the master has told us that once you come, we will take you directly to find her.”
Xia Nuo was a little confused, so logically speaking, the real Miss Mermaid shouldn’t have known about his existence before, right? Why did you specifically order the guards to let him go?
With such doubts, he followed the guards and walked in, and saw the real Miss Mermaid in the reception room.
Like the Duchess, she has blond hair and blue eyes, with a lavender fishtail. When she saw Xia Nuo come in, a smile appeared on her face.
Facing the sudden enthusiasm of the mermaid, Xia Nuo was a little at a loss, after all, it was for him that the monster replaced the identity of the mermaid lady. Facing Miss Mermaid, he couldn’t help feeling a little guilty.
He took out the necklace: “This is your necklace, Miss Toya, I want to return it to its original owner now.”
The mermaid took the necklace and was not in a hurry to check it. Instead, she sized up Xia Nuo carefully, with a weird smile still on the corner of her mouth. Xia Nuo felt an inexplicable coolness when she saw it.
He didn’t know that the reason why the mermaid had such an attitude was because they had received Krowrick’s instructions before.
Finally seeing the true face of the boy who is regarded as a treasure by monsters, the mermaid clapped her hands contentedly: “Thank you for helping me find the necklace—butler!”
The housekeeper then took out the magic crystal prepared in advance: “This is the reward you deserve.”
The rewards for this mission are indeed extremely rich, one hundred high-level magic crystals are enough to complete the ten consecutive draws in the little girl’s mouth.
However, it is obvious that so many magic crystals are not needed to summon Krowrick. As he himself said, Xia Nuo only needs to summon him once, and he can’t wait to run out.
At this time, Miss Mermaid asked suddenly: “I heard that you took this task in order to obtain the summoned object?”
“Yes.” Xia Nuo was a little surprised how she would know this, but nodded.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Miss Mermaid said enthusiastically: “It’s not too late, why don’t you go to the Holy Spring to summon now?”
“Housekeeper, you are responsible for sending our distinguished guests there.”
Xia Nuo didn’t know why Miss Mermaid was more concerned about this than he himself was, so he refused uncomfortably: “Thank you for your kindness, but it’s still unnecessary.”
The plaza where the card is drawn is only two streets away from Miss Mermaid’s mansion, so there is no need for anyone to take him there.
“Please don’t refuse.” Miss Mermaid’s reason was even more grandiose, “You have found my necklace, and you are my benefactor. Please allow me to do a little thing for you.”
Xia Nuo couldn’t resist Miss Mermaid’s earnest attitude. A few minutes later, he was already standing on the square where the Holy Spring was.
There was only one thought in his mind: Wasn’t it true what Krowrick said to Miss Mermaid? Why was she more positive about it than he was?
But only monsters know this question.
He took a deep breath and walked to the blue holy spring.
It had been a long time since anyone tried to summon a monster, and this person was the young man who had gained widespread attention because he was the guest of Miss Mermaid, Xia Nuo had a lot of eyes on him for a while.
