Tinari felt that he was in trouble.

Walking slowly on the road to Xumi City, the bright sun above his head darkened his shadow. Shen Qianluo beside him had no intention of letting him go. There was a faint smile on his lips, but it only made him feel a chill.

The Hunter's Path in his hand secretly gathered power, and he couldn't help but glance sideways to observe the young man.

Silver hair and black eyes, he looks harmless and pretty, and the creature in his arms is also adorable, lying on his chest...

"If you peek again, you will be swallowed by the dragon."

Startled by the sudden words, Tinari met the boy's indifferent gaze, coughed, and silently withdrew his power: "I just suddenly thought of a loophole."

"Hmm?" Shen Qianluo looked at the other party leisurely without taking any precautions.

"I was thinking, if I don't return to Daocheng Forest on time, someone will definitely worry about my safety. If I leave it alone, they might go to Xumi City to report the crime. If I want to use my connections to meet Lord Little Grass God... it's better not to involve something like a disappearance without reason."

Nodding seriously, Shen Qianluo lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "So that's how it is, you are threatening me?"

There was a hint of darkness in his gentle eyes, and when Tinari's fingertips suddenly licked the bowstring and pointed directly at the young man, his tone became cold.

"Judging from your logic, you are not the kind of person who would allow innocent people to go deep into the black fog. With such a personality, why did you have to hostage others to meet Lord Little Grass God?"

Shen Qianluo protected Longlong in the same posture. He did not raise his eyes, but just looked at Longlong who raised his head: "Because..."

But as Tinari pricked up his ears and listened attentively, his gentle whisper gradually turned into an indignant and serious expression on his face, "The Mountain of Subduing Demons has encountered such a change, but the Ministry of the Church has not sent anyone to investigate for many days, allowing the adventurers to suffer unnecessary losses. What a dereliction of duty -"

"I think this is due to Lord Grass God's mismanagement, and his people need to give him advice and reminders."

Tinari:?

The forest ranger, who had been on high alert, was still startled by the fingertips. At this moment, he seemed to suspect that Shen Qianluo was fooling him.

But the boy’s expression...

Isn't this a bit too sincere?

"Just because of this?"

"Otherwise, why would I, a weak human being, want to meet the gods for no reason?"

"You..." Tinari stared at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself, at a loss, and his eyes gradually became like he was looking at a fool.

"Me?" Shen Qianluo and Longlong both tilted their heads, looking well-behaved and friendly, as if they were completely unaware of the sharp arrows in each other's hands.

Tinari finally gave in, put away his weapon, and sighed: "I always feel like you are fooling me... But if this is serious, are you stupid?"

"How could I fool people?" Upon hearing this, Shen Qianluo turned serious, holding Longlong in his arms, and turned around to clear his name.

"Although I look weak, I am also law-abiding, contented, approachable, and consistent in what I say and think. I never do anything out of the ordinary. I am neither frivolous nor extravagant. I am recognized by my friends as the most honest one."

"…?" Hearing this, Tinari slowly lowered his guard and took a cautious attitude. "Then why did you do something like hostage-taking?"

Shen Qianluo glanced at him disappointedly and was silent for a moment: "Longlong and I are kind-hearted and ignorant of the ways of the world. We were once deceived by a bad guy and had our last Mora taken away. We made up our minds - from now on, we will never be soft-hearted when dealing with others."

At least the boy said it with great vigor.

The creature named Longlong in his arms also cooperated and stood up straight.

The man and the dragon moved inexplicably in unison, and there seemed to be a dazzling golden light emanating from behind them.

…seems more harmless.

"I really don't know how to advise God." After thinking for a moment, Tinari made a concession.

"According to the information I have received, there has been no news about Little Grass Goddess since she was taken back to Jingshan Palace. I think she may be concentrating on her own research. The problem of the Ministry of Education's failure to respond to emergencies in a timely manner should perhaps not be reported to her."

Shen Qianluo frowned slightly: "But she is a god."

"Even gods have their own strengths. I have never seen the Little Grass God, but the God of Wisdom should be more proficient in academic research."

"No, she is good at more than just these."

Tinari said, noticing the moment when the boy shook his head in retort and turned his back to him, allowing his fingertips behind him to leave marks silently.

"The God who has never appeared, the dictatorial and arbitrary Council of Magistrates... Do you think there are people under the sky who dare to go against the will of the God, or even - imprison the God?"

“…Imprisoning gods? Do you want to say that the Church of Gods imprisoned the Little Grass God?” Tinari was frightened by him, and even the ears on the top of his head stood up slightly at this moment.

"Maybe." His bangs dropped slightly while he talked and laughed. When Shen Qianluo turned around without warning, he walked towards him gracefully, forcing Tinari to step back subconsciously. He felt that the well-behaved voice of the boy in front of him was instantly tainted with an unspeakable intimidation.

"No matter what the situation of the gods of Xumi is, I hope that the ranger officer will recognize his own identity. You are held hostage by me... Oh."

Tinari: ...

This kid is pretending to be weak and trying to trick him into revealing Xumi's information? That must be the case, right?

He was quite anxious about what to do since today's children have such unpredictable personalities.

"Why are you silent, ranger?"

"Are you hungry? It's time to eat."

"...?"

·

In the distance, the great disciplinary officer who was hurrying along in silence suddenly received an urgent message from his friend who flew in front of him.

"Tinari?" He stopped suddenly. The moment Seno understood the message, his pupils shrank slightly, and a chilling worry and sharpness flashed in his eyes.

"Holding Xumi City..."
