"It's a maple leaf, a maple leaf with eleven corners."
Li Mo lowered his eyes and looked at Anier and smiled.
After carefully looking at Li Mo's eyes, An'er discovered that his ruby-like crimson eyes were deep and transparent, as if they were filled with incredible magic power and were as breathtaking as they were.
This is such an incredible color. Just looking at Anier makes me feel my heart pounding.
Could this guy be a succubus? ?
With such thoughts flashing through her mind, Anier quickly shook her head.
No matter how you put it, that's impossible. With your firm belief in the goddess, you won't be seduced by a mere succubus.
But the girl still held the cross in her hand against Li Mo's stomach like an exorcism tool, but failed to make Li Mo disappear like in the story, with smoke all over his body and screams.
Li Mo, who felt the strong gaze piercing his eyes, helplessly rubbed his cheeks:
"You seem to have mixed me up with something dangerous."
He snatched the cross from Anile's hand and scratched it all over his body like an itch to prove that it was of no use to him.
"Give it back to you."
The pure gold cross was thrown back into Anner's hands like a toy. She quickly held it in her arms and stared at Li Mo with puffed cheeks.
This cross can be assigned to the clergy of the church when they serve. The name of the person who belongs to it is engraved on the back. If it is accidentally abandoned, it is a serious crime. Stealing, hiding, and selling other people's crosses are also serious crimes.
This was the first time that Anner saw someone dare to play with the Holy Cross like this. The real feeling of coming to the land of demons became extremely clear because of this small move.
She originally wanted to scold Shang Li.
But before she could speak, she found that Li Mo had already left her alone and could only see his back from a distance.
"Hey, wait..."
An'er tried to stop Li Mo, but even if she told him to wait, he would definitely not do it.
She quickly hung the cross around her neck and chased after him with unladylike steps.
"I asked you, why did you leave!?"
An'er followed Li Mo half a step too late.
The nun's uniform created for elegance restricted her pace. Even if Li Mo just put his hands in his pockets and took small leisurely steps, she would still have to move at such a rapid pace to barely follow Li Mo.
"Because I'm tired, I want to go back."
Anner's question received a leisurely answer from Li Mo.
"Uh-huh, what a willful person you are! It's very rude to stop others and then leave without permission. Besides, you haven't explained your problem clearly yet!"
"Being willful is the prerogative of the Demon King. I am not willful at all."
Li Mo smiled to himself and ignored Anner's protests and complaints.
"There's another question, didn't I make it clear? It's because of the eleven-cent maple leaf. That one is meant to be given away, right?"
"Why do you know?"
"Because lies can't be tolerated in the eyes of simple people."
The fallen leaves among the avenues made the sound of being stepped on, and the sunlight shined through the leaves on Li Mo's body. Because of Li Mo's answer, Anner inadvertently looked into Li Mo's eyes again.
No matter how many times I see it, it is an extremely beautiful deep red color, so beautiful that people with spider tattoos must be careful.
But what Anner regrets most is that from time to time she will see some trivial lies behind this beautiful color. Although it is trivial, it is as if she has not opened her heart to anyone.
"If the four-leaf clover represents luck, then the eleven-cent maple leaf represents happiness. As long as you hold the eleven-cent maple leaf, happiness will follow. There seems to be such a rumor, although it is just unreliable. There are rumors, but if you have the heart to give happiness to someone, you will definitely be good, I don’t hate this.”
Li Mo showed off his unnecessary knowledge and gave a very handsome and gentle answer in a clear and logical manner.
But the voice that had been complaining suddenly lost its vitality. It was clear that he was being questioned with desperate momentum, but now there is no response.
Moreover, the surroundings became too quiet.
Li Mo turned his head and glanced at Anier secretly.
Her blue eyes seemed to be dyed the color of the sky, but they showed a sad look. She, who had been making a lot of noise from the beginning, was now following closely behind her pitifully and quietly.
"What's the matter, you brat?"
"......You are lying."
"Um?"
The reply, as thin as a mosquito's fly, made Li Mo feel for a moment that he had heard wrong.
"Although it sounds very reasonable and convincing, you lied."
The reaction was very light but extremely true, which made Li Mo himself feel that this answer was too unlike him.
And it was this little girl who noticed this before herself. What kind of baptism did her heart go through to become so delicate?
Alas, children should be full of energy.
While Li Mo was thinking this, he stopped and sighed deeply.
"Okay, okay, I'm really convinced by you. Your Excellency is very face-conscious. Even if you see it, don't expose their lies."
"Um?"
Anne's wide eyes kept blinking, her golden eyelashes beating.
"Actually...it's just because you foolishly followed me, that's all."
Perhaps because he was afraid that his explanation was not adequate, Li Mo added at the end that it was just that.
"What? I don't understand it at all. Please speak in words I can understand."
"I have made it very clear. Just close your eyes and think about it. There is sunshine in the leisurely morning. Wouldn't you like it if there was a cute puppy following you closely?"
"Yes, yes, but with me...are you calling me a puppy!"
An'er gritted her teeth and grabbed Li Mo's clothes, and her voice that had fallen silent regained its vitality again.
"So, did I lie this time?"
"...Well, it seems not."
An'er gently let go of Li Mo, her green eyes depicted gentle curves, her smile was as bright as the sun, but the next moment she screamed angrily:
"No! I'm asking you, do you mean I'm a puppy? Even if you say I'm a kitten, it's cuter!"
"But I prefer dogs. If I had to divide my party into a party, I would probably be the dog party."
Li Mo, who noticed the change in Anner's expression, showed a smile that would not be noticed. Sure enough, he still felt that children should be full of energy.
With this thought in mind, he scratched the back of his head and continued to fool around with the rejuvenated Anner.
"And let me tell you, a cat will run away if you don't give it something to eat and then kick it, but a dog will still stay there even if you don't give it something to eat and then beat it. Don’t you think dogs are better around you?”
"Humph, childish! Your superficial reason is like something only a child would come up with."
An'er no longer denied Li Mo's statement, she just pouted her mouth and turned her face to the side.
"Well...I can't refute this, but I like it. What do you want!"
The reason why I didn't say this before I left the end was because I was afraid of being said like this. As expected, adults are all face-saving guys.
"Wow, you are so willful. I guess you must be very popular with children, right?"
"Huh?! Why do you know?!"
Because, although there is a slight difference in actual age, in our hearts we are all of the same age, so it is easy to get along with each other.
"My guess."
Anner sighed, although she thought so, she didn't say it out loud.
However, it is precisely because of this that this person makes people feel particularly at ease. Maybe I have accepted him unknowingly.
"I... Let me tell you, the stinking demon clan, are all demon clans like this? It's easy for everyone to get along, right?"
Anner asked Li Mo with some expectations.
Because of Anner's question, the smile gradually disappeared from Li Mo's face, replaced by an expression that looked like a bitter smile but not bitter at all.
He didn't seem to want to see Anier's expectant expression wither away, nor did he want to go against his sincerity. He thought for a long time before making up his mind and gave the answer:
"No."
Li Mo shook his head gently.
"I have thought about it carefully. In fact, it is right for you to pretend to be strong and cruel towards the demons. Although I am very reluctant, I still can't refute the saying that the demons are powerful and cruel. That’s right, because guys without heart are really scary.”
"No heart'?"
Annie seemed to understand but didn't understand what it meant.
"Yes, this may be related to the extremely long lifespan of the demons."
“Is living longer a bad thing?”
"It's not a bad thing, and it's definitely not a good thing. The long years will bring us a lot of things, but we will also lose a lot. We have seen rivers take shape, valleys disappear, and we have witnessed countless endings. In the end, All you get is loneliness. Perhaps because you are afraid of losing it, you cherish it unusually. Many demons may be different from what you imagine. They all attach great importance to feelings, but more people still can't stand loneliness and pain, so , some people gradually lose their hearts...
Perhaps even he himself didn't notice it. After saying this, Li Mo sighed slightly towards the sky not far away.
"What about you, Limo?"
"I?"
After Li Mo closed his eyes and pondered, he noticed that he had never thought of this problem all this time.
my words......
Probably thrown away too.
"Stop talking about these useless things. The people you will come into contact with in the next few days are all good people. You can just relax and complete this exchange experience meaningfully as an exchange student. The rest is just a matter of doing it." Just stay dignified and neither humble nor arrogant, do you understand?"
"I see......"
Li Mo didn't want to think too far about such an unanswerable question, so he changed the topic forcefully, and An'er nodded fiercely in response to his instructions.
"But your statement is lewd."
"Bah, you're like this because you look at it through colored glasses."
"Well...Li Mo, I think you must not have lost your heart."
An'er could see that Li Mo wanted to change the subject, but she still mustered up the courage to say so.
"Are you trying to comfort me?"
This little girl's way of comforting people is a bit too stupid.
However, I seemed to feel better.
"But I know that the devil must have lost his heart!"
"ha?!"
An'er's added words made Li Mo almost fall to the ground.
He scratched his cheek and smiled bitterly:
"Ah~ That guy is indeed quite annoying. You are right to say that, but you said that he was the previous generation of demon king who invaded the human continent. The current demon king is a different person."
"Eh?! I don't even know..."
Anile's eyes kept blinking because of shock.
"Then...what if we meet the current Demon King?"
"..."
Li Mo didn't answer immediately, and his expression gradually changed from soothing to serious.
He solemnly walked directly in front of Anier and grabbed her shoulders tightly. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath for a long time before opening his eyes with a frown:
"Run, run non-stop."
