Anner's eyes and mouth opened wide due to Li Mo's sudden appearance.
The words he wanted to say seemed to have risen in his throat but no sound came out of his lips.
When she calmed down, she was much cuter than her previous attitude. She was inexplicably similar to that one, and Li Mo couldn't bear to disturb her.
However, if no one spoke, the atmosphere would become quite bad. Li Mo tried to bend down slightly and catch Anner's eyes.
"What? You keep leaning towards me, don't you have something you want to say to me? I'm afraid you'd find it hard to speak and come all the way to a place like this."
"Who wants you to worry about this? Do you know that I will definitely follow you? Stop looking down on others. I have nothing to say to demons like you!"
An'er completely looked like she was squinting at people, and her eyes revealed that "the demons are all liars". She turned her face away to avoid Li Mo's sight.
Oops, he is still a child after all.
They may all hate being lied to by adults. Once they discover the fact that they have been lied to, even lies told just for their sake can make them furious.
"Hey, let me ask you, little ghost head, if you are so afraid of demons, why do you come to a place like this? Isn't it good for a kid like you to stay at home comfortably?"
"Who are you calling a brat! And I'm not afraid of demons or anything like that!"
The only thing alive was her voice.
The eyes on the face that refused to turn away were constantly dodging, and the ears exposed from under the nun's hat were also red. The honesty made people feel a little cute.
"Oh, is it so?"
Li Mo responded softly.
Then without any warning, he suddenly and slowly stretched out his hand to Anier.
"Well--"
The ordinary behavior made Anier scream in surprise.
She curled up like a hare being jumped by a lion and covered her face with her hands, as if she would be swallowed whole by Li Mo in the next second.
"really."
Li Mo sighed.
He looked helplessly at the shivering Anner for a moment, then raised the hem of his tuxedo with his outstretched hand, crossed his legs and sat down on the ground without hesitation.
The season is early spring.
The freshly green grass weaved a soft velvet blanket, and the morning dew clinging to the soil slightly soaked his pants, allowing him to feel the warmth of the morning sun.
He thought that the girl opposite him was experiencing the same feeling as him.
"It's not difficult for me to understand why you are so afraid of the demons. I'm afraid everyone except the priest your sister mentioned has said to you, 'the demons are powerful and cruel', right?"
It is not uncommon for humans to be afraid of demons since ancient times.
But what really brought this fear to a boiling point was the war 50 years ago.
Back then, the previous Demon King led the demon army, and it only took three days for the entire continent of Felsiya to be devastated. Li Mo still clearly remembers the tragic situation at that time. It can no longer be described as war, it was like a living thing. It was just a one-sided massacre.
If that war hadn't ended up like a farce for some reason, it would have been recorded in history as "killing."
Now there is an unreliable legend recorded as the reason for the war, but it is also the most reliable legend.
It was the killing that year that was finally put to rest because the goddess came to stop the demon king. This is one of the reasons why the Firsiya Cult is so grand.
Although fifty years have passed since the war, people's fear at that time has been burning and spreading, and it has spread to Anier without abating at all.
Even now, Li Mo can still see the fire burning in Anier's body, still consuming her bit by bit unknowingly.
"I, I'm not afraid..."
She is still a little girl with an unforgiving mouth.
But her hands were not like her mouth, she covered her face honestly, and she just peered at Li Mo from between her fingers.
"So......"
The hand stretched out again made Anier shrink into a small ball.
"Let's see."
Seeing An'er's honest reaction, Li Mo smiled proudly, and finally he let his hand fall on the little head.
Even when her head was touched, she was very honest and did not wave her hand away. The girl just puffed her cheeks and stared at him fiercely from between Li Mo's fingers with some complaints.
But for some reason, just looking at this person quietly like this, Anier's heart could calm down quietly.
"You are such an arrogant guy. You treat me like a child."
"Aren't you just a child?"
For the age of leaving the end, this should be the case.
"To be honest, a kid like you who is scared to death just by seeing a demon with no fighting ability like me has no reason to agree to your sister's whimsical request to 'go home with the demon'?"
"What a rude guy. You actually use this word to describe a lady. You should have a certain temper when you look down on people!"
"Fantasy?"
"What a piece of shit!"
"A brat like you can be considered a lady?"
"Don't treat me like a child!"
well--
Simple children are really good.
Li Mo thought so from the bottom of his heart.
Being fooled so easily is completely different from the devil with a bad personality and a cute appearance.
Li Mo held up his face with his hands and legs. A slightly smug smile on his tired face made him look so approachable.
However, this unexpected and mild reaction made Anile even more dissatisfied.
"I told you not to treat me like a child!"
"Is there anything about Jade Fox Shrine that interests you?"
Anner's quarrel dissipated in an instant with an understatement from Li Mo. Her complaining expression froze on her face, and then slowly melted with the arrival of silence.
She lowered her head and murmured as if she had been seen through:
"You know I want to go there?"
"Isn't it obvious enough that I know?"
All the changes in this child started when she mentioned Jade Fox Shrine, and I asked her that way at the beginning. I’m afraid she was the only one who didn’t notice.
"Is that a place where foreigners can't go?"
"It's not that you can't go. That place is open to everyone except the lord's private back hill. I'm just curious as to why you, as a church nun, are interested in the demon religion."
"Yeah, it's not any special reason. If you really want to know, I can tell you."
Anner said stiffly.
"Well, please tell me."
It was another trick to coax a child. Li Mo felt that he was becoming more and more proficient, and the person facing him was worthy of being a child, so he naturally accepted this trick.
An'er slowly turned her face to Li Mo:
"Before I answer you, let me ask you first, do you know the eleven-point maple leaf?"
