Maybe I shouldn't die.

I just picked it at random! The middle-aged man nodded and continued to ask:

"Can you tell me your identity?"

Although he already knew that the other party was a monster, he didn't know what kind of monster it was. After all, they had lived together for so long, and he also wanted to know the other party's identity.

The boy walking in front was silent for a long time before he answered softly.

“I’m a koi.”

It turned out to be a koi. After hearing the boy's words, the fear of monsters in the middle-aged man's heart completely disappeared, and his tone became relaxed.

"Koi is good!"

Even the woman who had been gloomy all the time, softened her expression a lot after hearing the boy say he was a koi.

After all, in the eyes of most mortals, koi represents good luck, not to mention that now they also remember that the recent business is indeed much better than before.

I earned a lot more money!

This must be the boy's reason. Thinking of this, the couple couldn't help but look at each other.

I noticed hesitation in the other party's eyes. They had already agreed to send the boy away after this incident.

Now that they knew the other party was a koi that could bring wealth, the couple became hesitant again, and began to doubt what the knight had said before about the harmful effects of evil spirits.

That's a koi. Even if the koi has become a spirit, how can it harm people?

What's more, when the boy was at their home before, he had always been very well-behaved and sensible, and had never used any bad means towards them.

Out of consideration for the boy leading the way in front, the two men did not dare to communicate verbally and could only signal with their eyes.

After all, they are a couple who have been together for decades, and they can understand each other's meaning just by looking at each other.

After a long eye contact, they finally made up their minds.

Don't send the boy away yet.

As for the claim that evil spirits could harm people, they decided to wait and see. If his health really got worse, it would still be in time to send the boy away.

After the conversation, smiles appeared on their faces again and they quickened their pace to walk to the boy.

The woman's tone became kind and gentle again.

"Mom calls you Xiao Xia, is that okay?"

There was a flash of sarcasm in the boy's eyes, and then it quickly turned into flattery. It seemed that he was a little uncomfortable with the woman's sudden change of attitude.

"Of course, Mom, you're not mad at me anymore?"

The woman's tone became gentler, even a little doting.

"My child, I am no longer angry. I was just too sad to hear the news of your brother's death. I couldn't accept it for a while, so I treated you badly."

The middle-aged man next to him also added.

"Yes, yes, your mother loves you the most, why would she be angry with you all the time?"

The sarcasm in the boy's eyes deepened. He had heard their previous conversation in the room. Wasn't he eager to send him away at that time?

Now she changed her opinion again, isn't it because she knew that he was a koi? Sure enough, how could the parents who could raise a child like that be purely kind?

If he was just an ordinary child, he might have been fooled by them, but unfortunately he was not. He was a koi monster who had practiced for hundreds of years.

In such a long time, what kind of people has he not met? But it's good, this also saves him from looking for other reasons to stay.

Despite feeling a lot of disdain in his heart, there was a hint of admiration in his tone when he answered the couple.

"Really? Dad and Mom, you are so kind to me. Unfortunately, my ability is still limited. There is no way I can make Dad and Mom live a rich life all of a sudden. I will definitely work harder to cultivate and bring more wealth to our family."

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the couple's faces showed even more joy, and the middle-aged woman pretended to be angry and said.

"What are you talking about, kid? Your parents don't need you to do these things. Your parents are willing to live with you because they love you."

The middle-aged man also quickly added:

"Yes, yes, my parents will take care of the money-making."

Is that so? The boy looked up at the two of them, his eyes full of emotion.

"Mom and Dad, you are so kind to me. Being your child is my greatest blessing.

But you don't need to persuade me anymore. Attracting wealth is the instinct of koi. As long as I stay at home, wealth will continue to flow into our home.

Our family will become richer and richer, and mother will no longer have to envy those rich ladies who wear gold and silver. We will soon be able to live that kind of life."

When they heard the boy say that wealth would come to them continuously, the joy in the couple's eyes deepened. Then, when they heard the boy describe the good days of wearing gold and silver, they could hardly hide the smiles on their faces.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but think in her heart, fortunately it was at night and the monster couldn't see their expressions, otherwise their intentions would be exposed, wouldn't they?

She calmed herself down before continuing in a gentle and soothing tone:

"Then mother would like to thank Xiaoxia. When I have more money, I will bury more burial objects for your brother so that he can live a better life in the afterlife."

The boy did not refute. It was possible that the man's soul had indeed gone to the underworld. Even though he hated that person, he did not dare to destroy the other person's soul after watching him die.

Annihilating the soul would bring about a lot of karma, and he didn't want to ruin his thousands of years of practice for such a guy.

Of course he didn't kill the person. The most he could be considered as someone who watched him die without rescuing him. Isn't it normal for a monster to watch a person die without rescuing him?

However, it is not so easy to live a better life in the underworld. Even if these two people are willing to burn sacrifices, it depends on whether the other party will accept them.

Thinking of this, he calmed down a little, pointed to a small hill not far away, turned around and said to the couple:

"Mom and Dad, that's right. I buried my brother's body there before."

The smile on the woman's face disappeared instantly when she heard this. Her son's body was buried not far away. At this moment, her yearning for a life of wealth and luxury seemed like a mockery to her.

She couldn't help but well up in her eyes, but she kept comforting herself in her heart.

"Han'er also wants to live a better life. Moreover, Xiaoxia is not the one who killed Han'er. He even collected Han'er's body. She shouldn't vent her anger on him."

Despite constantly comforting herself, she couldn't help but feel a little complaining in her heart.

"If Xiao Xia had told them the truth earlier, Han'er's body wouldn't have stayed here alone for so long. He used to be the one who was most afraid of loneliness."

The atmosphere suddenly became silent. The boy seemed to have sensed the solemn atmosphere. He stopped talking and instead quickened his pace, leading them towards the hillside.
