Reborn as the little tail of the cool master

Everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.

"Immortal! That person is still in the inn. Are you sure he won't cause us any more harm? What if he wakes up again?"

The heart that had just been put at ease was instantly lifted up again, and all eyes were focused on the Immortal Master Yunlan.

Xiao Jingxuan turned his thumb in the opposite direction, pointed at himself and said, "Don't worry, my junior master and I will protect him."

The curve at the corner of his mouth shows a completely smug look, as if he is taking advantage of the power of others, and his big tail is wagging as if it is about to reach the sky.

“………………”Chu Huaizhou glanced at him indifferently without saying much, but his eyes did not deny.

Someone suddenly asked, "You two are going to guard that weird thing? Then who will protect us?"

"Yes, yes!" The bearded man beside him stood up and echoed loudly, saying, "We should be prepared for the worst. We should get an immortal to protect us, right?"

More and more people think that what this person said makes sense.

Xiao Jingxuan was extremely dissatisfied. He squinted his eyes and looked down at everyone. He pouted and said, "How can there be so many what-ifs?"

Chu Huaizhou's expression was indifferent. He pretended to glance at him casually, and his narrow eyes drooped quickly, causing a ripple.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and hummed calmly, as if he had given it serious consideration. "Your concerns are understandable."

Then he turned his gaze to Xiao Jingxuan nonchalantly, hesitated for a while, and said carefully: "Since you are afraid of him..."

"Then you go and protect the others over there, and I'll go to the guest room to guard, okay?" The ending tone was upturned, with a gentle taste.

The corners of Xiao Jingxuan's eyes, which he had rubbed in advance, instantly turned red, and his eyes were filled with half a pool of fake tears.

Pursing his lips aggrievedly, "Junior Brother feels that his magic skills are too low to protect them, so he should go and guard the Dharma Realm."

Chu Huaizhou's expression was indeed much more relaxed, and his voice became gentler, "That's fine, if you are scared, you can also send a message to me."

He thought about it and added: "If you want."

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes twinkled, and he nodded rapidly, "I do! Junior Master, of course I do."

Then, he tilted his head, squinted his eyes and smiled obediently. The candlelight cast a thin layer of warm orange light on his eyelashes.

Chu Huaizhou's heart was touched. He stared in a daze for a long time before he lowered his eyes and nodded, seemingly not caring. "Yeah."

After he finished speaking, Chu Huaizhou went upstairs with a flick of his sleeves.

Xiao Jingxuan glared with gritted teeth at the bearded man who had ruined his plans, and grinned ferociously.

Then, holding two plates of caramel-wrapped peanuts, he happily chased after the people.

He shouted eagerly, "Master Junior! Do you want to try this caramel peanuts? It's caramelized and not too sweet, it's delicious!"

When Chu Huaizhou heard the taste of "burnt aroma but not greasy sweetness", his steps paused slightly, and then slowed down a little.

Only the angry bearded man was left, with a puzzled look on his face: "I......"

****

As night falls, the streets of the town become brightly lit, with people bustling about, sparkling like a star city in heaven.

Xiao Jingxuan tasted the sweetness in Chu Huaizhou's room. He was in a very good mood and hummed a little tune happily.

Living alone in a room with this demonized boy, I didn't feel wronged anymore. I just kept looking around.

His gaze finally fell on the young man who was tied up like a cicada pupa on the bed by Li Zheng, and he sighed.

"Tell me, what on earth did you do to cause yourself such a miserable end?"

"Your face is burnt like this. Looking at your bones, you are still a beauty. What a pity."

Xiao Jingxuan leaned on the bed frame with his arms clasped across his chest, his posture casual and lazy, his eyebrows lowered frivolously, and a curve at the corner of his mouth.

“How about…” He raised his hand to cast a spell, smiled a little rogue, and said casually: “I will be merciful and restore your appearance for you.”

This weird little trick may sound unreliable, but it is actually very reliable when used.

Only the Demon Lord - Xiao Jingxuan would do that, because in his previous life when no one challenged him to a fight, he was bored.

Whenever he had some free time, he would tinker with some strange things and create some useless seal-making techniques.

This technique of restoring one's appearance using flower petals was something he figured out in his previous life when he had nothing to do.

He picked up an unknown flower that was exposed in the window, placed it lightly on the boy's face, and cast a spell.

The flower turned into light smoke and dissipated, and the boy's appearance returned to normal.

This turned out to be a beautiful young man with fair skin, elegant temperament, delicate features, gentle features, and graceful and elegant temperament.

Xiao Jingxuan looked down at him condescendingly, curling his lips in satisfaction, "As I expected, you are born beautiful."

"It's just..." He rested his chin slightly, wandered around the bed, and looked at him carefully, "Why does this person look more and more familiar the more I look at him?"

In his life, he had only gone down the mountain once, and in just over forty days, he could almost confirm that he had never seen him.

So where have I seen you in my previous life?

As soon as this guess popped up in his mind, Xiao Jingxuan quickly suppressed it, with a strange and disgusted look on his face.

I thought to myself: Why does this sound a bit like the dialogue used by the protagonists in storybooks when they meet each other to start a conversation?

So weird, so weird.

The moon rose higher and higher, passing through wisps of clouds and the slightly twinkling starlight, looking particularly strange.

The wind blew through the dry leaves, making them rustle. There seemed to be something terrifying hidden in the silence. Xiao Jingxuan immediately pricked up his ears.

He raised his hand and used the voice transmission technique. Someone on the other end quickly answered the call. The voice was clear and reassuring. "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jingxuan's heart finally settled down, and he approached the window cautiously, no longer hesitating.

However, his voice was still very low and light, "Little Master, did you hear any noise outside the window?"

The voice he deliberately suppressed had some abnormal tremor, and Chu Huaizhou thought he was afraid.

He glanced out the window, the shadows of the trees swayed, the leaves rustled, and he tried to make the sound as light and gentle as possible.

"No, that was the sound of the wind."

"Really? It doesn't sound like that to me." Xiao Jingxuan chuckled, and the corners of his mouth turned up like waves in the sea.

He moved closer to the window, pricked up his ears and listened. The shy look on his face disappeared, and his deep brows were filled with concentration and seriousness.

Under the shining of the bright half moon, the lake below the guest building is very quiet, with faint ripples left by the wind and sparkling water.

There was a very light, very small, and very thin flute sound, mixed in with the wind, faintly coming in through the window.

"No." He said in a lazy voice: "Little Master, listen over to the small lake, is there any sound of a flute?"

Chu Huaizhou stood up and walked to the window. Due to geographical reasons, he could hardly see the small lake. "I can only see a corner of it."

Another gust of lonely autumn wind blew by, and the leaves in front of his window rustled.

Chu Huaizhou brushed away his messy black hair and said, "All I can hear here is still the sound of the wind."

Xiao Jingxuan chuckled disdainfully, "Are you targeting me?"

"That's not right. Who would come after you?"

Chu Huaizhou frowned slightly and opened his eyes alertly. The two of them said almost in unison: "It's the guy on the bed!"

"Master Junior!" Xiao Jingxuan's surprised voice came to my ears again, along with the sound of wind and panting, "He bumped into me! And then he ran away!"
