Chapter 20: The Day I Quarreled with You'er

  "Despicable! Xiaoleng, you're a big bad egg!" Yao'er struggled with all four paws, wanting to escape from Xia Xiaoleng's clutches. But Xia Xiaoleng was quick and agile, grabbing the back of Yao'er's neck with one hand, no matter how hard Yao'er flailed about, she couldn't escape her grasp.

  Xia Xiaoliang bared her white teeth, making two loud cracking sounds, which scared the little monster to tears, but then Xia Xiaoliang's words forcibly stopped it: "You dare cry, I'll roast you over an open flame right now!"

  The little demon looked at Xia Xiao Liang with tears in her eyes, sobbing twice but not daring to cry out loud. Her small appearance was indeed pitiful. Xia Xiao Liang placed her on his flat chest and stroked her gently.

  "Alright, I won't tease you anymore! You're the fifth demon I've met since coming here! How could I bear to roast you?" Xia Xiao Liang counted on her fingers, her cat ears rotating nonstop with her movements.

  She now likes turning her ears more and more because when she was a human, her ears couldn't rotate three hundred sixty degrees.

  Xia Mingjiang didn't carry a big basin back, but instead carried a roasted fish and came to Xia Xiaoleng's side, saying: "I was afraid you were hungry, so I borrowed one from another monster first. You eat it first. Chopping firewood, burning fire, and catching fish will still take some time."

  Looking at Xia Mingchuan leaving again, Xia Xiaoleng's nose was sour and almost shed tears. In her previous life, she was an only child without brothers or sisters, but now with Xia Mingchuan taking care of and protecting her everywhere, she felt very warm.

  "Look stupid!" You Er raised her head and found Xia Xiao Liang staring blankly at the cave entrance, couldn't help but remind him that they were still waiting to eat roasted fish!

  Xia Xiaoliang was woken up again by Yao'er grinding her teeth. This time, Yao'er knew that Xia Xiaoliang wouldn't do anything to her and wasn't afraid at all, just waiting to eat fish.

  "You said, will that hundred-year-old competition be very lively?" Xia Xiaoleng asked while eating.

  "It's obvious! My father said that every hundred years, the grand competition is a gathering of the demon tribes. There are monkey demons, rabbit demons, wolf demons, bear demons, fox demons and so on. All the demon tribes from the human world will participate at that time, it's going to be lively! However, I was born not many years ago, still younger than you, naturally haven't seen it." The little demon chattered away, as if she had witnessed it herself, and said with pride.

  "Since you know so much, then I won't bring you along when I participate in the Grand Competition!" Xia Xiao Liang couldn't stand You Er's smug and mischievous look, her big eyes innocently staring at You Er, as if what she said was unintentional and careless.

  Gah, Yao'er's teasing immediately stopped, her silly expression froze, and she made Xia Xiao Liang hold his belly in laughter, completely losing all dignity.

  "Little cool!" The demon child was furious.

  "What's wrong?" Xia Xiao Liang shook her head and pretended she didn't know.

  "I'm going!" The little monster's anger gradually dissipated, replaced by a pleading expression.

  "Get out of here!" Xia Xiao Liang opened her mouth and said, after finishing, she felt a little guilty. This phrase was used to tease her best friend in the past, but now she couldn't let Yao Er learn from it!

  "What does it mean? I don't have a sister." Yao'er tilted her head, wondering why Xia Xiao Liang would ask about her younger sister.

  "Pfft!" Xia Xiao Liang couldn't help but burst out laughing. The little monster was so adorable, she reached out to stroke its sleek fur, it had been a long time since she'd met such an innocent and lovely little creature.

  The little monster's mouth was agape. Running into a master like Xia Xiao Liang, who is so unreliable, is truly the greatest sorrow of this lifetime, what a sorrow!

  "With your current level of cultivation, going to participate in the Grand Competition would be a complete loss, wouldn't it?" The demoness shamelessly exposed Xia Xiao Liang's weaknesses, and yet she seemed so delighted.

  Xia Xiaoliang thought of roasting Yao'er for the second time today, how come this mouth is so poisonous, who did he learn from? Losing is just losing, what's wrong with admitting defeat and making a good show of it, at least they've seen the world.

  "It's okay if I lose, at least I participated, hehe! I won't take you with me!" Xia Xiao Liang smiled gleefully.

  Just as the demon child and Xia Xiao Liang were arguing, a monster entered from outside the cave. The clothes didn't look like those of Xia Ming Chuan. Xia Xiao Liang seemed to have exploded in anger, placing the demon child behind her back, standing up.

  That was a half-sized boy wearing a sky blue straight robe, with his face covered by a black cloth, giving off a somewhat shy and reserved feeling. The black cat ears on top of his head were particularly eye-catching, and the tail that looked exactly like Xia Xiaoliang's was swishing back and forth restlessly. Hiss, no matter how you look at it, he looks just like Xia Mingjiang!

  "Who are you, and why have you come here?" Xia Xiao Liang asked cautiously. Ever since Yan Wang secretly entered the mountain cave, he had left a very deep shadow on Xia Xiao Liang. What if they couldn't win and ended up dying?

  She didn't think about it, apart from Yan Wang that bastard demon, who else would dare to sneak into his demon cave without a plan? Isn't that like a dung beetle entering a toilet to look for shit?!

  "I am Xia Mingchuan!" The other party lowered his voice, and it was not difficult to hear that the original sound of this guy should be very clear.

  Xia Xiaoliang finally let out a sigh of relief, it seems that this guy is indeed Xia Mingchuan. Although they haven't spent much time together, and the past five months were all about cultivation, the feeling of being together day and night wouldn't be wrong.

  But what's going on here? Still playing blind man's bluff! Xia Xiao Liang stepped forward two steps, and pulled down the black cloth covering his opponent's face. It was indeed him! In Xia Xiao Liang's heart, he secretly sighed, why didn't a real bad guy come instead, so he could test the results of his own cultivation.

  Xia Mingchuan smiled all over his face and said: "You're very vigilant, not bad. Come on, Xia Liang, take a look at this outfit of mine."

  "It's very elegant and has a scholarly air." Xia Xiaoleng admired it for a long time before nodding in praise.

  "What's 'book volume air'?" Xia Mingchuan seemed unclear about the meaning of this phrase and asked in confusion.

  "It's just, it feels very book-smart. Human book-smart, you know? Xia Xiao Liang truly didn't know how to explain, she hadn't brought a dictionary when crossing over. Although an older brother had once sent her a set of 'Ci Hai', she had never flipped through it."

  Xia Ming River naturally knew that Xia Xiao Liang was a soul from another realm, and he would say some strange things to show his understanding. Now hearing her explanation, the phrase "bookworm" is equivalent to the feeling of humans giving birth to demons, got it! I didn't know this word could be used in this way!

  "I understand. Xiaoleng is so clever, able to describe me with the phrase 'bookish air'." Xia Mingchuan continued to show off his clothes, and was not stingy with his praise for Xia Xiaoleng.

  "I also want to wear new clothes." Xia Xiao Liang pinched the hem of this unknown how long worn clothes, pouting and acting cute. To think that she hadn't changed out of this outfit since crossing over into this body, now more than five months had passed, it didn't stink which was simply too amazing!

  Xia Mingchuan smiled strangely and took out a piece of clothing from his bulging pocket, Xia Xiaoleng suddenly realized that's why his belly had grown a circle.

  Xia Xiaoliang opened her clothes, revealing a snow-white Suzhou-embroidered mandarin collar cheongsam with a high neckline and a long skirt, which looked more elegant and pure compared to the dark blue embroidered flower cheongsam she was wearing.

  Send Xia Mingchuan out to get some wind, Xia Xiaoleng hurriedly changed into new clothes, and muttered while changing: "You're so young, your chest is almost non-existent, why do you want to wear a breast-revealing cheongsam? This is an insult to me!"

  A blouse with a ruffled chest, whether it's a V-neck or a crew neck, is typically worn by girls with large busts. Girls with small busts who wear this style will not only fail to achieve the desired effect but also appear even flatter.
