Fox Demon: This is the Guardian Blade

Gurgle~Gurgle~…….

An untimely voice sounded in this dark alley, not loud but clear enough to be heard.

Looking for the source of the sound, I found that it came from the belly of the bamboo kitten.

There was no trace of emotion in the dark eyes of Bamboo Kitten. She felt a slight burning sensation and discomfort in her stomach. She knew it was time to start eating, otherwise the burning sensation in her stomach would slowly turn into pain, and her body would slowly become so exhausted that she would not be able to exert any strength.

Your thoughts will become slow, sleepiness will come over you, and you may even faint!

If you faint...it will be very dangerous!

Thinking of this, she lowered her head to look at her right hand. It seemed as if she could see through the rags wrapped around her palm to the scarred little hand hidden underneath the rags.

The bamboo kitten opened its five fingers and moved them, feeling a little pain~!

But...she's used to it.

Bamboo Kitten pursed her lips, gently covered her stomach and rubbed it, as if doing so would make her stomach feel better.

After doing this, the little bamboo cat put down his hands and glanced at the garbage piled everywhere in the alley. The stench from the garbage pile attracted many mosquitoes and flies.

But the little bamboo cat seemed to be accustomed to rummaging through the garbage dumps everywhere, not caring about the smell at all.

No...none here either...still no.

There was no food, not even a single bamboo product.

Zhu Xiaomao felt a little lost and confused.

This shouldn’t be the case. How come there isn’t even anything to eat?

Even if there are monsters like her nearby who have come here, there shouldn't be nothing to eat, right?

Do I really have to go out and look for food in the wild again?

But I am too weak and can hardly survive in the town... Wouldn't it be easier to die in the wild?

Thinking of this, a trace of confusion flashed in Zhu Xiaomao's eyes, but soon the confusion in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

Being killed by a powerful monster is better than starving to death. As she thought so, she stopped searching in her hands.

Just when the bamboo kitten stopped searching, a rustling sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the alley.

In an instant, the ears of the little bamboo kitten hidden under the rag headscarf flapped nimbly. Her expression became serious, and she lowered her body and slowly retreated into the darkness.

After finding a garbage dump to hide in, she hid decisively.

somebody is coming!

The footsteps seemed to be those of adults, and there was more than one person.

Are they also 'beggars' coming here looking for food?

Zhu Xiaomao carefully controlled her breathing and did not dare to jump to conclusions before seeing the appearance of the people.

As the footsteps of several people got closer, Zhu Xiaomao began to get nervous because she could already hear their conversation.

However, the content of the conversation between those people made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly because of fear.

"Hey! Didn't you say that the alien was heading this way? Where's he?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I just saw her walking this way. Maybe she realized someone was following her and hid herself. Let's look for her!"

"That little thing has such tender skin and tastes really good, especially her arm... Tsk tsk! Leave me a leg this time so I can try it."

"Eat, just eat. If it weren't for you, how could she have escaped last time? You still want to eat her legs? Go away. Don't dream about it after you've eaten!"

"cut!"

....

Bamboo Kitten squatted in a broken wooden frame about ten meters away from the others, listening to them arguing nonchalantly about how to eat her, which made Bamboo Kitten's expression become more and more frightened.

She squatted in the wooden frame, hugging her legs tightly, and felt a suffocating feeling in her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

An oppressive atmosphere enveloped her. When she thought about how those people would deal with her after they found her, Bamboo Kitten didn't even have the courage to escape.

She was very afraid of being caught and eventually being eaten by several people, so the bamboo kitten didn't dare to move at all, and even her thoughts stopped.

Bang~!

Bang~!

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the little bamboo cat could clearly hear his own heartbeat at this moment.

What should I do? I’m about to be discovered.

Gradually, the panic on Zhu Xiaomao's face inexplicably calmed down. She bit her silver teeth lightly and quickly thought of a way to escape in her mind.

If she just rushed out like that, coupled with her leg injury, she would be caught up not long after running... That's right, even if she was not injured, she was just a child and could not outrun these powerful adults.

But if you continue to stay where you are, it will only be a matter of time before you are found.

As the bamboo kitten was thinking, he suddenly felt a soreness in his nose, a warmth in his eyes, and his vision became a little blurry.

Tick ​​tock~!

She felt something dripping on the back of her hand. The moment she lowered her head, warm tears flowed out one by one and dripped onto the back of her hand.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaomao felt uncomfortable and suffocated inside.

Why was she born without parents? Why did these monsters from the same demon race have such malice towards her when she clearly knew nothing?

She was alone... so scared.

So tired~!

But...when I think that I might die soon, I feel so happy~.

Such complicated emotions would make people who don’t know her think that this girl is crazy.

In fact, Zhu Xiaomao felt that this might be a kind of relief, so she thought so.

All the things that happened in the past flashed before her eyes, she still didn't understand...but it didn't matter anymore!

Eventually her consciousness returned to the present.

She stretched out her dirty arm wrapped in rags and gently wiped away the tears. Then, Bamboo Kitten took out a blood-stained knife from her arms, and a look of determination flashed in her rosy eyes.

Don’t be afraid…at least you tried!

Under the moonlight, the darkness inside the alley forms a sharp contrast with the bright lights outside, as if nothing in the outside world can intrude into the lonely alley.

The footsteps were getting closer, and the shadows of several people were the first to stand out in the moonlight, reflected next to the bamboo kitten squatting in the wooden frame.

Zhu Xiaomao stared at the shadows of several people, estimating how far away they were from her and what their figures were like.

The knife was tightly gripped in his hand, and his hand, which was wrapped in torn cloth, squeezed it hard.

Just when several people were about to reach the location she had predetermined in her mind, Zhu Xiaomao burst out with demonic power, and without thinking, she stabbed the demon closest to her with a knife.

But at this moment, a big hand, as if knowing in advance, pressed down her head to prevent her from going any further.

Oops!

Zhu Xiaomao's heart trembled violently, and he closed his eyes in fear. The knife in his hand fell to the ground because he was too nervous.

pat!

"Who are you!"

"Ah! Help me, boss! My hand, my hand! It's broken!"

"court death!!!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

....

As several shrill screams were heard, the owner who was holding the little bamboo cat's hand asked.

"Girl... I finally... found you~."

The voice sounded gentle, and there was even a hint of barely perceptible excitement in the tone.

Only when the little bamboo kitten no longer felt any pain did he carefully open his eyes a crack.

Then... she met a human being whom she would never forget in her life.

This feeling is especially strong under the moonlight.

Perhaps Yu Huasheng's face appears cold and unapproachable in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Zhu Xiaomao he appears amiable and approachable, making people unable to help but feel close to him... as if... they have known each other for a long, long time.

Such a handsome brother~.

The little bamboo cat stared blankly, lost in thought for a moment.
