In a small forest not far from Danmeng, unknown insects are constantly chirping.

The leaves on the treetops are already withered and yellow, and when the wind blows, they will swirl and fall down, spreading in a thick layer on the ground, making a crunching sound when stepped on.

Feng Ranzhi stood behind a tree with his arms folded. Hearing the slightest rustling movement behind him, his forehead twitched: "Are you okay?"

"It's almost here! Uncle Fox, just wait a little longer~"

Xie Xiaobai said, using one front paw hard, he dug back some soil with a groan. He thought it was almost done. He turned his head and took a look. He felt quite satisfied. Then he raised his tail and trotted towards the dog with his back to it.

Uncle Fox: "Xiao Bai is ready!"

Feng Ranzhou then turned around and saw the little one squatting obediently at his feet. He snorted softly and was about to reach out to pick it up. However, Xie Xiaobai suddenly shrank his head and dodged his outstretched hand.

Feng Ranzhou: "?"

Feng Ranzhi glanced at it suspiciously: "Why, do you want to stay here tonight?"

Xie Xiaobai also tilted his head and looked at him with a very uncomprehending look: "Uncle Fox, aren't you going to clean up Xiaobai?"

Feng Ranzhou: "...What do you mean?"

Xie Xiaobai patiently explained to the clumsy Uncle Fox: "Every time Xiaobai finishes peeing, my mother will use magic to clean Xiaobai. In this way, Xiaobai will not become a little smelly."

"..." This is a little habit between it and Xie Wanyou. What does it have to do with him?

Feng Ranzhou ruthlessly refused on the spot: "Then you become a little brat, I don't care."

Xie Xiaobai was stunned: "Uncle Fox, how could you do this..."

"Anyway, it's not me who became the little smelly one." Feng Ranzhou deliberately lengthened his voice: "Am I right? Little smelly one~"

Xie Xiaobai: "???"

Xie Xiaobai was so angry that he looked up to the sky and let out a cry. He rushed over and bit the corner of his clothes: "It's Xiaobai, not Xiaostin! Uncle Fox, the bad guy!"

The cub bit fiercely at the corner of his clothes for a long time, with almost no lethality. Feng Ranzhou found it interesting. When it got tired of biting, he slowly pulled up the hem of his clothes, like fishing, holding the corner of his clothes in its mouth without letting go.

The little boy also raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll tell your mother later that you didn't clean up this time and asked her to change your name to Xiaoxi."

Xie Xiaobai was hanging on the hem of his clothes, glaring at him angrily, and the whole cub was so angry that he turned into a little pufferfish.

Feng Ranzhou took it off from the corner of his clothes and found that there were two small holes in the clothes. He couldn't help but curled up his lips: "Both of you, mother and son, are equally sharp-tongued."

Xie Xiaobai sat in the palm of his hand, glanced at the two small holes, and shook his tail quietly.

"You're still proud of the destruction you've done?" Feng Ranzhi said, "Little rascal, let's go."

Xie Xiaobai was pushed back and let out an aggrieved "goo" in his throat.

Feng Ranzhi glanced at it, used the dust-removing technique to clean the mud from its paws, and then took it back.

Xie Xiaobai squatted in his hand, trying hard to raise a paw to rub his head. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing deeper into the woods. Its ears suddenly stood up, and it raised its head nervously and asked: "

Uncle Fox, what is that?"

Feng Ranzhou also turned his gaze and frowned slightly: "I don't know."

Xie Xiaobai shrank into his arms, shrinking himself into a fur ball, looking over there warily, his voice getting lower and lower: "It can't be... it's a ghost, right?"

Feng Ranzhou held it in his arms and said nonchalantly, "You'll know if you go over and take a look."

After saying that, he flew towards that direction.

Xie Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

It didn't expect that Uncle Fox would not run away when he encountered a ghost - he even took him to chase the ghost with him!

Uncle Fox, it’s so scary!

In the cub's imagination, ghosts were undoubtedly extremely terrifying existences. Xie Xiaobai was a little scared and wanted to run but couldn't. He could only close his eyes tightly and huddle in Feng Ranzhou's arms, secretly cheering himself up.

As long as you can't see ghosts, ghosts don't exist!

The black shadow seemed to be aware of Feng Ranzhou's pursuit and moved faster. Feng Ranzhou was too lazy to play with it.

The trick I did was hold Xiaobai with one hand, and condensed a fireball with the other hand. With a wave of my hand, the red fireball suddenly hit the black shadow and knocked it down.

The heat wave when the fireball exploded directly scorched the trunks of several trees, and many branches broke and fell down one after another. The black shadow bumped around in the pile of branches like a headless fly for a moment, and finally stumbled towards

Not far away was an abandoned, dilapidated hut.

When Feng Ranzhi chased him to the hut, the black figure had just climbed down from an abandoned well next to the house.

Without saying a word, Feng Ranzhou threw another fireball into the well. A cry of pain was immediately heard from below. Then, the roller device used to draw water from the well began to rotate creakingly, and the rusty iron rope continued to fall.

There was a clanging sound in the well.

"Did you fall into the bucket?"

Feng Ranzhou still wanted to figure out what this thing was, so he didn't throw any more fireballs into it.

But it was impossible for him to go down the well and catch it himself. After thinking for a moment, Feng Ranzhou put Xiao Bai aside, grabbed the iron rope himself, and pulled it up directly.

Xie Xiaobai, who had never seen the world, squatted at his feet and watched Uncle Fox's movements in shock. As Feng Ranzhou pulled out more and more iron ropes, his little heart beat faster and faster.

Xie Xiaobai was really afraid that Uncle Fox would pull a ghost out of the well in the next second. After looking around, he simply got under Feng Ranzhou's clothes and squeezed his small body into Feng Ranzhou's legs.

Only then did I feel a sense of security.

Seeing that Uncle Fox was still pulling ghosts, Xie Xiaobai couldn't help it anymore and said with a cry: "Uncle, please stop pulling ghosts, I'm afraid..."

Feng Ranzhou: "..."

How could he, the mighty Demon Lord, have such a cowardly and foolish son?

While Feng Ranzhou was thinking briefly, the thing in the well rushed out. Feng Ranzhou reacted very quickly and slapped it aside with a palm. The thing fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and finally stopped moving.

Xie Xiaobai was so frightened that he shrank between his feet. Seeing that the "ghost" had stopped moving, he became bolder again and curiously poked his head there.

Feng Ranzhou was angry and funny, so he directly opened his legs and went over to check the thing.

After a while, Xie Xiaobai, who was left on the same spot, mustered up the courage to follow up cautiously and took a tentative sniff. His plump plush face immediately wrinkled: "It stinks."

It went to see the true face of the "ghost". The "ghost" was wearing a black robe with no facial features. There was nothing under the black robe. No limbs or torso could be seen. After a while, the "ghost" turned into a pool of blood on the spot, leaving only

A black robe.

Feng Ranzhou frowned, fearing that the bloody scene would frighten the timid cub, so he lowered his head to look at it. But at this time, Xie Xiaobai was no longer as scared as before. It looked at the pool of blood for a while, and

Xin Xi raised his head and asked Feng Ranzhou: "Uncle Fox, what is this?"

Feng Ranzhou was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this little thing was afraid of ghosts, but not afraid of these bloody things.

Hmm...it seems there is still some merit.

Feng Ranzhou squatted down next to it, thought for a moment, and explained to it: "This is a messenger, a messenger used to convey messages..."

Feng Ranzhou paused for a moment before he found a suitable word to describe it: "Monster."

"Monster?" Xie Xiaobai read the word several times, looked at himself in confusion, then at the pool of blood, and whispered: "Others used to call Xiaobai a monster. If it is also a monster... then Xiaobai

Will he grow up like it when he becomes white?"

Feng Ranzhou frowned: "Who said you are a monster?"

"It was said by those bad guys who locked up Mom and Xiaobai..." Xie Xiaobai's voice became smaller and smaller, with a hint of panic: "What should I do about Uncle Fox? Xiaobai doesn't want to look as ugly as him."

"It won't grow ugly," Feng Ranzhou rubbed its head: "What you are now, you will be like in the future."

Xie Xiaobai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"

"What else?" Feng Ranzhou seemed to have remembered something and said angrily: "Besides, you are not a monster. You believe what the bad guys say. You are so stupid."

Xie Xiaobai felt that Uncle Fox was right, the tips of his ears twitched and his tail raised again.

It looked at the pool of blood again and said strangely:

"Uncle Fox, he ran so fast just now, is he going to deliver a message again?"

"Probably." Feng Ranzhou put a hand on his knees, his eyes darkened: "Maybe something happened with the Dan League."

He poked Xie Xiaobai's head, raised his eyebrows and said, "It just so happened that your mother went in not long ago. Let me guess - she didn't do any bad things secretly behind my back, right?"

"Mother will never do bad things!"

Feng Ranzhou snorted coldly: "Just believe her stupidly, you don't even know when she was sold."

Xie Xiaobai persisted and said: "Even if Xiaobai is sold by his mother, he will happily help her count the money!"

Feng Ranzhou: "..."

Forget it, this little kid has his mother all over his head, it doesn't make sense.

Feng Ranzhou picked up the cub, stood up and walked outside. As he walked, he asked, "Weren't you afraid of ghosts just now? Why are you suddenly not afraid anymore?"

"Because the ghost was beaten to death by Uncle Fox," Xie Xiaobai said matter-of-factly: "If it dies, it won't hurt Xiaobai. Why should Xiaobai be afraid?"

"..." Feng Ranzhou was defeated by the cub's logic.

Afraid, but not completely afraid.

They came out of the grove and happened to meet Xie Wanyou walking out of the Danmeng gate.

The elder following her seemed to have something to say. They stopped at the door and talked for a while, but Xie Wanyou seemed a little absent-minded. Apart from nodding from time to time, he said nothing else.
To be continued...
