Shanhai Inn

Lu Zhuo stood there in a daze, almost thinking that he had made a mistake.

Several other people had the same reaction as him.

The little groundhog looked limp, and seemed a little timid. At this time, he hid himself in a ball by the corner of the wall, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look at them.

Such a weak-looking groundhog can really be the security guard of the inn?

It feels like speaking loudly can scare him to tears.

A few people were puzzled and stared at the groundhog left and right, but they couldn't see anything special about him that could be liked by Daoist Xiaolin.

No...it seems a little special too.

The little groundhog held a potted plant in its arms, holding it tightly, like a drowning person holding a life-saving driftwood, without leaving any gaps.

This particularity made him look even more cowardly.

Several people looked at the little groundhog silently. After a long while, Lu Wu tentatively said: "Master Xiaodao, if you let him come, don't you think it's a cute fluffy little one?"

Xiaodao plush control, like Yang Jian, likes these cute and cute monsters, this kind of thing is very likely.

Daoist Xiao Lin was dissatisfied with his words, and raised his eyebrows: "In your heart, I am such a person who does not know public or private matters and only does things according to his own preferences? Is this how you see me?"

You are!

Lu Wu groaned in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and so did the rest of the people.

Seeing their reaction, Lin Xin snorted and said, "Why, do you think they are weak?"

"This...not really." The monster in question is over there, so it's not easy to say bad things in person, so Lu Wu tried to be tactful, "I just think the little groundhog is cute."

Cute, but weak Chirp.

Of course, Lin Xin could hear the implication of the big cat's words, and shook his head: "It's not a decent thing to judge people by their appearance... Take a look at this."

While speaking, he took the tablet on the table and clicked on a video to show them to watch.

The video shows Daoist Xiaolin's Talisman Killing Formation. In the middle stands a talisman man made of yellow talismans. He is nearly three meters tall. His pupils are dotted with cinnabar, scarlet and treacherous. He raises his sword and looks towards the left corner of the formation.

He was looking at a little groundhog.

The little grey-yellow flannel, curled up in the same posture as now, holding his little potted plant tightly in his arms, looking as if he was about to cry.

No, not like.

Although the sound from the video was very small, several people could still hear his sobs, which was very pitiful.

The little groundhog was crying cowardly on one side, and on the other side, Fu Ren dragged the heavy sword in his hand and walked towards him step by step.

Seeing that Furen was getting closer and closer to the little groundhog, although they knew from the results that he was definitely fine, several people couldn't help but feel nervous for him.

Furen finally stopped in front of the little groundhog, but Xiaorongtuan hadn't recovered from his fear, curled up in a ball, felt Furen approaching, and froze and didn't dare to move, still sobbing softly.

A cold light passed over him, Fu Ren lifted the long sword in his hand, pointed the sharp tip at him vertically, and fell.

Several people held their breath for a moment, and even dared not look at it for a while, but just a second before the point of Furen's sword fell, the little groundhog, which had been shivering from the beginning to the end, suddenly moved, and jumped up holding the potted plant , after avoiding several attacks by the Furen by moving flexibly, stepped on his shoulder, picked up the potted plant and threw it on his head.

While crying and smashing.

The potted plant in his hand was a bit special. After a few drops, the talisman paper on the talisman's body scattered a lot, and soon it couldn't hold it anymore.

The unbearableness in the eyes of a few people turned into surprise—the little shopkeeper is very knowledgeable in Taoism. In order to recruit the right person, the difficulty of the interview is also set high. Many ferocious beasts were defeated.

But now, Fu Ren was helpless under the potted plant of the little groundhog, and almost 2 minutes later, he fell down under a heavy blow from the potted plant.

Furen dissipated, and the little groundhog fell down, hugged the potted plant tightly again, retreated to the corner and continued to cry, as if the person who was beaten and bullied was not Furen but him.

Weak and helpless, but capable of fighting.

It also has a little white flower meaning.

social society.

I admire you.

Several people were stunned, staring at the stopped video for a long time without speaking.

"How is it? Do you still think he is weak now?" Lin Xin put the tablet back and raised his eyebrows to look at them, "The force value is online, and he can fight. Although he is crying a little, he can still be heard as an alarm when he screams. Dual-purpose, more reliable."

Daoist Xiaolin was very happy, and felt that it was a good deal to find such a person for a salary.

Several people were silent, and they clapped together for a while, seeing Lin Xin and the little groundhog's eyes full of approval.

Daoist Xiao Lin smiled and looked at the little groundhog in the corner: "Come on, don't be afraid, we will be colleagues from now on, come and introduce yourself to them."

The voice was soft. Before the little groundhog came, only Lu Zhuo had enjoyed such treatment. The others, especially Lu Wu, had never seen Taoist Lin so gentle.

The little groundhog turned around slightly, moved the potted plant down and peeked at them. When his eyes fell on Lu Zhuo, he finally got some courage and walked over slowly with the potted plant in his arms.

"Hi, hello, I'm Shuxiao, you can call me Axiao or Xiaoxiao in the future." Shuxiao hid her face behind the potted plant and looked at them shyly, "My original form is a groundhog, and my usual words may be a bit awkward." Not much, but it’s not that I don’t like you, I really want to get along with you.”

"Also... I like to cry a little bit, I can't control it, I hope you don't dislike me."

After speaking, she became shy and moved the potted plant up to cover her face again.

It's just... a little cute.

Even Lu Zhuo felt soft-hearted looking at it, and wanted to go over and rua him.

Student Xiaolu is more introverted and restrained, just thinking about not doing it, Lu Wu is different, he took a step forward tentatively, after seeing that the little groundhog was not frightened, he relaxed, went over to smile and rua Shuxiao a few times, Immediately impressed by the feel of the palm.

"How can you miss such a good touch! I want our little Mr. Gu to come and rua a few times."

Lu Wu ran out while talking, the nine tails swayed outside the door, and soon disappeared.

Silly cat.

Daoist Xiao Lin looked at Shu Xiao again: "I have already told you about the treatment just now, if there is no problem, sign the contract now?"

Shu Xiao was still dazed: "I really succeeded in applying for the job? Are you really going to recruit me?"

The little groundhog is not confident. When he was in school, he was always laughed at by his classmates because he cried a lot. Later, he graduated and looked for a job. Because of this, no one used him for several years.

Shu Xiao didn't dare to think about such a good job as the Shanhai Inn. It was his family who encouraged him all the time, so he decided to give it a try. He didn't have any hopes at first, he just wanted to avoid being ridiculed and looked at strangely. Looked good, didn't expect it to pass.

The little groundhog's eyes were shining brightly, and the branches and leaves of the potted plant in his hand shook along with it.

Daoist Xiao Lin softened his heart when he saw it: "Of course it's true, do you want to come?"

"I want what I want!"

"Then come with me, sign the contract first, and then I will pull you into the work group."

Shuxiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and walked to Lin Xin holding the potted plant. Before going out, she suddenly thought of something and looked back at Lu Zhuo.

"Xiaolu, the Ghost Festival is coming, you'd better take the little dragon cub and Nightmare with you to school recently, um..." Seeing Lu Fengshi's glance, Lin Xin paused, "It's fine to bring only the little dragon cub."

Hungry Ghost Festival is Ghost Festival.

About half a month before and after, the evil spirits are at their peak. During this period of time, some shady ghosts may lose control and attack their prey. Cream and honey cakes like Lu Zhuo are definitely the targets that most ghosts covet.

Lu Zhuo knew that Daoist Xiao Lin was thinking of him, so of course he would not refuse: "Okay."

The voice fell, and I heard Lin Xin say: "The Ghost Festival is also the third anniversary of the establishment of the inn. If you don't have important things to do that day, please spare time. Let's have a party to celebrate the third anniversary of the inn, and also celebrate the third anniversary of the inn. The arrival of Shu Xiao."

This was said to Lu Zhuo, and also to a few people around him.

"receive."

"learn."

"no problem."

"..."

Working overtime is very painful, and everyone can avoid it, but the party is a happy thing, and several people happily gave an affirmative answer.

No prospects.

Daoist Xiao Lin snorted, said nothing, and called Shu Xiao down the stairs, followed by Lu Wu and Lu Fengshi, walking in the opposite direction of Daoist Xiao Lin.

In the afternoon when I was going to school, Lu Fengshi crossed the spirit. Lu Zhuo's human body lasted much longer than before. It dissipated when I returned to the bedroom yesterday. Today, I stayed in the room in human body for a long time and it was fine.

The cats surrounded Lu Zhuo meowing and acting coquettishly, the round pupils of the cats were vaguely aggrieved——

It's been a long time since Lu Zhuo had played with cats and stroked them.

And today is an opportunity.

Lu Zhuo hugged the cats and rubbed them non-stop. His skillful technique made the cats squint their eyes comfortably. They lay in Lu Zhuo's arms, revealing their soft belly, and kept making small purring sounds from their throats.

Yaya watched from the side, feeling a little envious, and flew over after a while, pretending to inadvertently send the wings to Lu Zhuo's hand, begging to be stroked reservedly.

Lu Zhuo has been raising small animals for a long time, so he couldn't see his little thoughtfulness. Seeing this, he laughed and raised his hand to stroke the crow's feathers.

Yaya felt very strong, and squinted his eyes together with the little cat, and the next second, his body suddenly tensed up, and the sense of crisis came from behind, enveloping his whole body in an instant.

Yaya: Hey.

He turned his head cowardly, and as expected, he saw those blue eyes, which fell on him coldly... or rather, on the wing that crow touched Lu Zhuo.

The Yayaren reacted quickly, retracted his wings in an instant, gave Lu Fengshi a flattering smile, and then helped him remind Lu Zhuo: "Xiao Lu, Ah Chi is awake."

When Lu Zhuo just came back, he didn't see the little dragon cub, so he asked Yaya, and Yaya said he was sleeping, so he didn't go in to disturb him.

Hearing Yaya's words, Lu Zhuo turned his head, and the little dragon cub just happened to float in front of him, his eyes were blue, like a lake under the twilight, still beautiful, but if you look carefully, you can see a bit of grievance underneath .

Lu Yan laughed: "What's the matter, I think I only play with oranges and grapefruits, not with you, are you jealous?"

In Lu Zhuo's impression, Xiaolong Cub is just a little arrogant cub. He thought he would not admit it, but unexpectedly got the opposite answer.

【yes. 】Little dragon cub hangs his tail, writing stroke by stroke.

Lu Zhuo softened his heart: "Okay, I was wrong, I didn't mean not to accompany you."

【I do not believe. 】Little Dragon Cub looked at him, 【Unless you hug me. 】

Lu Zhuo used to hug him often, but when he heard this, he smiled and said hello, and took the little dragon cub into his arms.

The warmth surrounds the surroundings, and the little dragon cub is satisfied at this point, the dragon tail shakes a few times, and gently wraps around Lu Zhuo's wrist.

This cub is so cute.

It's a pity that it doesn't belong to my own family, just like the kittens before, they will leave sooner or later, in a hurry, and may even be like cats, when they leave, they won't even say goodbye in person.

Thinking of the little cat cub leaving without saying goodbye, and thinking about the little dragon cub, Lu Zhuo felt a little lost.

Little Dragon Cub was keenly aware of his emotions: [What's wrong? 】

"It's nothing, I just don't want you to go." Lu Zhuo said, "Did your family say when they will pick you up?"

【……No. ] Little Dragon Cub looked straight at him, 【You said, you can't bear to part with me?Does this mean you don't want me to go? 】

"Of course I don't want you, and I don't want you to go, but there's nothing I can do." Lu Zhuo lightly tapped the dragon cub's horn. "You always want to go home, just stay with me temporarily."

The little dragon cub responded the moment his voice fell.

【Will not. 】Little Dragon Cub lowered his head, 【I will not leave, and I will not leave you, when the time comes...you will not be able to drive away even if you want to. 】

His words were scribbled, and Lu Zhuo didn't recognize them: "What did you say?"

【……No. 】Little Dragon Cub said, 【Just to comfort you, if you don't recognize it... forget it, I'm too embarrassed to say it again, quickly transfer your consciousness back to your body, your body is a bit transparent. 】

Lu Zhuo took a look, and sure enough, he saw that the part of his body below the knees had become transparent. He hurriedly walked towards the bedroom, and turned his consciousness to the evil boy.

The human body turned into a golden dot, which quickly dissipated.

The little dragon cub passed through the golden dot and landed beside Lu Zhuo. Lu Zhuo raised his paw and patted him, seeing that it was almost time, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up, but when he went in and saw himself in the mirror, he suddenly froze.

The evil spirit cub in the mirror has snow-white fluff, a dragon character with lustrous luster, and clear pupils that are extremely agile.

This appearance is normal and not normal.

What is normal is that this should be his appearance, what is abnormal is that Lu Zhuo was not like this tens of seconds ago.

Yesterday, as soon as he entered the bedroom, his consciousness turned to the main body, and he didn't have time to observe more, but today he was not so hasty. Before shifting his consciousness, Lu Zhuo went to the bedside to look at his main body, and then noticed the abnormality of the evil boy— —

The fluff is dull in color, the pupils are dull, and the dragon's body is as pale as a candle, without any luster.

And these abnormalities disappeared the moment his consciousness recovered, and he returned to normal.

This incident felt familiar to Lu Zhuo, and it made him suddenly think of the little dragon cub, which has always been like this in the recent period, sluggish and lifeless for a while, and then revived for a while.

But Xiaolong Cub was not like this when he first came to Lu Zhuo's side. If he remembers correctly, his appearance like this should have started after Mr. Lu came back.

This……

Lu Zhuo narrowed his eyes, and suddenly had a thought that shocked him.
