The petite and exquisite figure fell next to Li Mo, but the small body suddenly fell backwards as his foot slipped.
Fortunately, Li Mo grabbed the girl's hand at the critical moment. If he had been a step too late, the girl would have been lying on her back on the brick road.
"Are you okay?"
"..."
The girl said nothing, just stared at the hand tightly held by Li Mo.
"Ah, sorry!"
Realizing something was wrong, Li Mo quickly let go of the girl's hand.
The girl didn't respond. She just stared blankly at the hand that was grabbed by Li Mo. There was no expression on her bright-eyed face, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking, but it could be seen that she was concerned about what had just happened. Didn't mind at all.
"I hope the weather will be as good as today on the day of the celebration."
Li Mo was a little embarrassed when he didn't get any response.
"You know why foxes slip easily, because they..."
Li Mo's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally got completely stuck in his throat. The cold joke he thought was perfectly timed was not appreciated at all by the other party.
He could only look away from the girl, caressing the horse's neck, pretending to be leisurely enjoying the sunshine to divert attention.
"Please get in the car."
"Huh? Oh, oh..."
After being stunned for a moment, Li Mo finally realized what he heard was a girl's voice.
The owner of that voice was staring at Li Mo silently like a doll. No, even a doll would be carved with a decent expression.
But the face of the girl in front of him, who was like a natural crystal, never showed a trace of ripples. Only the slight rise and fall of her little body with her breathing made Li Mo know that she was really a living person.
Li Mo also saw that the other party did not want to communicate too much, so he quickly got into work, so he carried the devil onto the carriage and jumped into the driver's seat, nodding slightly to the girl.
The girl waited quietly until the two got on the car, then took the reins and guided the horse towards the alchemy gate she opened.
The Demon King, who was hiding behind Li Mo, pulled the corner of his clothes and motioned for him to put his ear closer. She leaned next to Li Mo's ear and asked cautiously:
"who is this?"
"Hey, don't you know? I heard that she was the one who went to the Demon King's Castle to pick you up?"
Li Mo also lowered his voice under the influence of the Demon King.
"It seems like this. Speaking of which, they also conducted some trials. They are like idiots. They get very angry just thinking about it."
"Forget it, forget it, the demon fox clan is a very ancient and traditional clan, and they pay great attention to these rituals. I heard that their clan is also responsible for the rise of the Spring Festival, so just be patient."
It's normal for her to advise the angry Demon King like this, but every time she loses her temper, it makes her stomach ache.
But the devil who used to be careless was now hiding behind him like a shy girl that suited her cute appearance, rubbing the corners of his clothes with her hands, and kept making annoying and embarrassing complaints.
"Why are you talking so secretly?"
"Yu doesn't know either, but I always feel... I always feel that this person is very difficult to get along with and very scary. Ah Li, please think of a way to drive her away."
In fact, not only the Demon King, but Rimo also felt the same way, but maybe the Demon King, who was close to the girl, felt it even more deeply.
The girl's exquisite expressionless face always gave people a sense of distance, and it wasn't because she was not good at talking. Li Mo could clearly feel the aura that exuded from her that made people feel distant.
The devil will be afraid and can endure it, but she will also be able to bear it. If she is allowed to suppress her original character and endure it to the limit, she will explode without hesitation, and she will be the one to suffer.
Although it is not to the point of driving others away, we should try our best to break this embarrassing situation, Li Mo said to himself.
"Don't worry, leave this to me. I'm very good at chatting with girls of this age and wantonly."
"Where do you have any experience in chatting with girls of this age who act recklessly?"
Are you completely unconscious?
Although Li Mo wanted to complain like this, he still endured it. If the Demon King also showed his power at this time, the situation would be even more embarrassing.
"But it's really hard on you to pick us up so early in the morning, sister."
Li Mo ignored the demon king and addressed the demon fox girl.
Although the Demon King has always been rude and does not reflect on himself, Li Mo is still a reasonable person, so even if it is only regarded as a polite word by others, he expressed his gratitude to the girl.
Following Li Mo's words, the girl's ears, which had always been drooping listlessly, trembled slightly, and she suddenly stopped walking.
The horse also stopped urgently to avoid hitting its owner. The person in front of the horse stopped fine, but the person sitting on the carriage suffered. Li Mo reacted quickly enough and grabbed the fender behind him. Only his buttocks were covered. After two bumps, the Demon King, who was hiding behind Li Mo, didn't react at all. He hit his forehead directly on the fender and made a "boom" sound that made Li Mo shiver.
"Asshole! What are you doing..."
The Demon King covered his red and swollen forehead and jumped up, ready to attack, but her curses stopped abruptly when she looked at the girl.
The girl turned back to look at Li Mo. Her eyes, as clear as the clear sky after the rain but without focus, rested quietly on Li Mo. However, the person involved, Li Mo, was not sure whether those eyes without focus were actually Looking at him.
Then, tears suddenly fell from her face.
"What did you call me?"
elder sister.
Li Mo called her that, but it was definitely not because the girl was older than him.
The girl should have a twin sister. He had met the demon fox twins several times but they were not familiar with each other. However, twins are rare, and these twins are even more amazingly similar. They left a lasting impression on Li Mo. It has a strong visual impact.
Moreover, he was used to calling the lord of the Wind Land a little fox. A girl from the same demon fox clan couldn't call him that, so he called him that so as not to be confused.
But, it’s over, it’s completely over! It actually made others cry!
I didn't expect that today, the strongest and wisest general in the Demon King's Army, I would actually make a mistake and make this little girl angry. That's right. Who wouldn't be angry when an uncle like me calls him "sister" in the reserve army?
Li Mo suddenly felt like going home.
"Idiot Li Mo, I just asked you to drive her away. I didn't ask you to make her cry!"
The Demon King glared at Li Mo fiercely and put all the responsibility on Li Mo, and what she said made Li Mo's conscience hurt even more.
"I'm sorry, you don't mind. Actually, I don't mean anything else. Most people sometimes call us sisters, don't they? I remember you have a sister, don't you?"
Li Mo wanted to explain, but he had no idea what he was talking about.
"No......"
The girl lowered her head and wiped away her tears with her sleeves as if she wanted to be forgotten quickly.
It would have been fine if he was crying unreasonably like the Demon King, but Li Mo couldn't stand the girl crying silently like this. He quickly jumped out of the carriage and squatted in front of the girl to keep him at the same height as the girl.
But the girl was not fooled by his forced smile at all, and simply turned her back when he squatted in front of her.
"He's the one who doesn't braid his hair... Speaking of which, you didn't braid your hair today either."
Maybe in order to make it easy for others to distinguish her, a normal sister would braid a thin braid on her temples, but perhaps for some reason, the girl in front of her now did not braid her hair.
The girl turned her back and gently touched her temple hair with her index finger.
"Because...it's too early, so there isn't much time to take care of your hair, and..."
The demon fox girl suddenly stuttered, and her voice dropped three times lower than at the beginning.
"And I don't mind. If Lord Li Mo thinks it's okay, please call me that."
"oh oh......"
"Please get in the car."
The tone returned to the calm and lifeless state from the beginning.
Li Mo knew that any more words at this time would be a faux pas, so he obediently shut his mouth and got into the carriage, while the girl took the reins again and walked forward.
In front of the Fangshu Gate, Li Mo noticed that she turned her face slightly to glance at him, and quickly turned her head when she found her eyes met.
What a strange kid.
Just as Li Mo was thinking this, there was a flood of noisy voices around him.
