mother of beasts

Soft and sensual, with a very familiar touch, there was a smile on Li Jia's face that he didn't even notice.

Picking up the little monster, he was about to leave, but was stopped by several men.

"...What do you want to do?" Li Jia hugged the little thing in his arms tightly, and took a step back carefully.

"What do we want to do?" One of the men looked at his companion and couldn't help laughing, "I managed to get this thing, and you just took it away, and you made me lose money?"

It was only then that Li Jia remembered that there was still money. After being separated from society for a long time, he had forgotten his self-consciousness as a human being, so he just took the things and left.

However, why was the little monster caught by them?And why is it treated as a commodity?

Seeing that Li Jia didn't say anything, the man who just spoke froze with a smile. He looked at the clothes Li Jia was wearing. He should be a young master from a rich family. If he rushed forward to ask for money, he might offend those so-called nobles. But it's not good, after all, the imperial capital is still dominated by the rich.

At this moment, the two servants had already squeezed in, and at a glance they saw Li Jia holding a strange thing in his arms, and several men were surrounding him.

He rushed up to push the man away, and the two servants surrounded Li Jia, fearing that his young master would be hurt by these rude civilians.

As soon as the men saw the attitude of these two people, they immediately retreated. After all, it is definitely a foolish thing to provoke a rich man as a commoner.

Just when they were about to flee, Li Jia suddenly said, "You guys, give them the money."

"Young master?" The two servants were surprised and looked back at Li Jia.

The men and the onlookers around were also surprised. Didn't expect this young man to pay them money?

"How much last coin?" One of the servants took two steps forward and asked with a purse.

"Eight, eight hundred..." The man's voice was a little trembling, and he announced the number with his mouth moving.

Eight hundred coins, this price is expensive or cheap, it is very easy for the rich, but it is already a sky-high price for these ordinary people.

The man already regretted it as soon as he said it. Just such a small thing, no matter how novel it looks, it is not worth the price. He is like a lion opening his mouth. In case this weak-looking boy is offended, I have no good fruit to eat.

Li Jia nodded: "Give it to him."

The master had already spoken, and if the servant had any opinions, he took out eight hundred coins from the purse and threw it to the man, and the two quickly followed Li Jia's path and left.

It wasn't until the three of them left for a long time that the man just came back to his senses and touched the coin in his hand in disbelief. The smooth touch told him that it was the real, genuine eight hundred coins.

Suddenly laughing wildly, the man carefully put the money in his pocket, and ran away from the market. Although the other onlookers coveted the man's huge wealth that fell from the sky, they didn't dare to act presumptuously in the imperial capital. Can only spread out enviously.

The man laughed and walked into a deserted alley, put his finger on his mouth and whistled.

In less than two seconds, a tall man in white suddenly walked out of the darkness.

Seeing the happy look of the civilians in front of him, the man sneered in his heart, and said very seriously: "Is the task you have been told to do done?"

"It's done, it's done, isn't it just that one thing, there are many people who want it, and the kid came over and bought it after a while."

The man smiled flatteringly, turned his eyes, and said to the man in white with a smile: "By the way, the reward just mentioned...hehe..."

Sure enough, he is a lowly commoner. Don't think that he just didn't see that the [-] coins given by the boy have already entered his pocket. His greedy face is really disgusting!

The man in white felt contemptuous in his heart, thought for a while and said:

"Okay, come here."

The man walked over without doubting him, but just as the man approached, the man in white suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed it into the man's chest!

"you--"

The unsuspecting man was stabbed in the heart with a knife, and before he could say a word, blood was already dripping from his mouth.

The man in white pulled out the knife, took out a cloth towel to wipe off the blood on the knife, took out a handful of small coins from his pocket, and casually sprinkled them on the man who stared wide-eyed and died: "Hey, what is your reward? More, I should be satisfied..."

Some faint voices floated in the air, and the already remote alley seemed even more eerie and secluded.

Li Jia never expected that so many things would happen to that man after he left. At this moment, he was walking home quickly with the little monster in his arms.

I don't know if it is his illusion, although the little thing is still held in his arms, but he feels that it is no longer sticking to him like before.

If it was before, even if the little thing was nestled in his arms, he would raise his head and stare at him intently, but now, although it stayed in his arms, his head was always buried in his body.

What happened to it when I was not around?

Li Jia was puzzled and wanted to ask directly, but when he thought that there were two servants behind him, he finally suppressed the words that came to his mouth.

After finally arriving home, he bypassed the path, intending to go straight back to the room, but on the way back, he happened to meet his so-called brothers and sisters.

"..." Opening his mouth, Li Jia wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only keep silent.

These people didn't embarrass him, but seeing the strange ball in his arms, they couldn't help their curiosity: "What is that?"

Li Pai first pointed to the thing in his arms and asked, he had never seen such a strange creature, but he was indeed a little curious.

Li Jia lowered his head and stroked the little monster's fur. He was a little surprised that after so many days, the fur on its body was much less than the last time he stroked it.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Li Jia raised his head and replied to Li Pai who brought him home, "Little monster."

"little monster?"

A group of people were all at a loss. Indeed, the term was really vague, so that even though he gave an answer, they still didn't understand what it was.

Really curious in his heart, Li Pai boldly took two steps forward, and reached out to touch the little monster in Li Jia's arms!

Although the situation was a bit chaotic at the time, Li Jia clearly understood the huge destructive power that the little monsters unleashed in the cave back then. Don't say that Li Pai is just an ordinary human being, even the abnormal beasts with abnormal physiques are no match for the little things. !

If this little monster is furious... then it's okay?

Li Jia hurriedly reached out to stop it, but Li Pai obviously became very interested in this strange-looking creature, bypassing Li Jia's blocking hand, he reached down and touched the little monster.

In an instant, Li Jia was stunned, the little thing in his arms raised his head, his blood-red eyes glanced coldly at Li Pai.

Li Pai, who had just succeeded in the sneak attack, also lost the initial sense of joy. The creature's eyes were blood-red and cold, like rubies, but there was no warmth at all, and the cold was terrifying.

For a moment, the group fell into complete silence.

After a while, the little monster groaned, Li Jia came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly at a group of brothers and sisters, and ran back to his room in embarrassment.

Only Li Pai who was still in a daze, Li Huai who was a little confused, and other members of the Li family who didn't know why.

Li Jia quickly ran into the room, closed the door, panted heavily, and put the little thing he was holding in his arms on the bed.

As soon as the little monster came into contact with the comfortable bed, he couldn't help but let out a soft cry, buried his whole body in the soft quilt, and raised his head to yell at Li Jia from time to time.

Listening to its voice, Li Jia's expression was unspeakably awkward.

Originally, he could understand what the little thing said, even though he didn't know why, but this time, he didn't understand what it wanted to express at all.

This is like a person with sound senses suddenly fell ill, and then lost his sense of hearing and smell, and can only see the world with a pair of fragile eyes.

At first, he thought that there was finally a creature that could talk to him, but he didn't expect the little monster to come back, but the communication between the two became the biggest obstacle, and Li Jia couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Looking at the little monster still rolling on the bed, Li Jia shook his head and smiled, pulled the thin blanket aside to cover it, walked away slowly by himself, took a drink from the table, and drank it tastelessly there. with.

The little monster stood up immediately after Li Jia turned around, his red eyes kept looking at Li Jia, as if he was calculating something.

The claws hidden under the fleshy claws stretched out and retracted, and the little thing suddenly twisted its body and arched back on the bed.

When Li Jia turned his head, he happened to see the scene where the little monster rolled his whole body onto the bed, and couldn't help laughing.

The little thing seemed to realize that he was being ridiculed. He looked up and saw Li Jia's smile, and was stunned for a while. The pink skin seemed to be darker.

However, Li Jia didn't notice the change that his smile brought to the little things on the bed. After smiling for a while, he drank the things in his hand, then went to the cabinet and took out some dried meat.

These were the things that the servants brought for him for supper the other night. He had a bad appetite at the time, and he was too lazy to let them take it back, so he kept it. Now it seems that it was specially prepared for this little thing.

Seeing Li Jia slowly approaching the bed, the little thing raised his head, his nose trembling.
