My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS Chapter 625 - 362: City Life of the Little Nian Beast and Li

"Lake water?" Lin Xingshi was puzzled, "Do you live on the mountain?"

The Little Nian Beast hesitated, suddenly realizing that he shouldn’t have said that. If Lin Xingshi found out he was a demon, it would be a disaster. She was an Exorcist, and he’d be driven away.

"No, Little Nian’s family is poor." The Little Nian Beast lowered his head, "So I can’t bathe at ho." He paused, "It’s all my dad’s fault! Dad is a bad guy!"

After speaking, he angrily subrged his mouth in the water, blowing bubbles.

"Wasn’t your dad dead?" Lin Xingshi raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, he’s dead." The Little Nian Beast surfaced, suddenly energized, "That’s why I left."

Lin Xingshi leaned against the edge of the bathtub, silent for a long while, "But my family isn’t dead yet... They’re still looking for . If they find , I’ll have to go back."

"Then I’ll help you run away." The Little Nian Beast said, "I’ll take you away, just like you took ."

Lin Xingshi was taken aback.

She looked up at the Little Nian Beast, who also quietly and earnestly looked at her.

Lin Xingshi shook her head, lowering her gaze, "No, they’re very powerful, more powerful than . If they find out, they’ll definitely bully you..."

The Little Nian Beast was stunned.

It looked at the girl’s dejected appearance, feeling an emptiness inside, and for a mont, it lowered its head, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, it bristled, raised its head, and its pupils narrowed sharply, "If you’re unhappy, then I’ll bite them to death and drive them all away!"

Lin Xingshi was silent for a long, long ti, and the Little Nian Beast’s fierce montum gradually waned.

"Are you a dog?" she suddenly asked.

"I’m a lion!" the Little Nian Beast said.

"You’re clearly a dog!"

"A lion."

"A dog."

"Then I guess I’m a dog..." The Little Nian Beast’s pupils suddenly constricted, its voice becoming gentle and ek again, "By the way, since you don’t like your na, what should I call you?"

"Little Star?" Lin Xingshi thought for a mont, whispering.

"Little Star, why are you crying?" The Little Nian Beast widened its eyes, curiously staring at her, seeing Lin Xingshi’s eyes red, her ears red, too.

Humans are really complex, the Little Nian Beast thought.

"Am I...? It’s just bathwater." She buried half her face in the bathtub.

"Don’t cry."

"Since I was little, they never let cry, saying I was the family heir, I had to be strong... Are you like them, too?" Lin Xingshi spoke haltingly, hesitantly.

"With Little Nian, you can cry." The Little Nian Beast thought for a mont, "Little Star is just Little Star, not an heir."

Lin Xingshi scrunched her nose slightly, holding back tears, but the next second, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes. The Little Nian Beast reached out from the tub, wiping her tears.

"Can you really take away?"

"Of course, you took away, so I’ll take you away. That’s fair."

"Okay... You promised ."

"Little Nian promises you." The Little Nian Beast nodded.

"Then we won’t go back... I don’t want to go back, never again."

"Yes, we’ll run far away together." The Little Nian Beast said, "So, don’t cry anymore."

"Okay."

......

At sunset, the cliff was draped in a layer of departing afterglow, the fur of the two lions was dyed a vivid red, swaying like gold in the breeze.

"Is that so..." The Year Beast Monarch mused, "Humans becoming friends with demons, how peculiar."

"Bai Tanlang can even have children with a human girl." The Little Nian Beast said lightly.

"How do you know about that?"

"Heard about it, it’s spread everywhere."

"What happened to you and that human child? Did you lose touch?"

"What happened after... do you want to know?" The Little Nian Beast thought for a mont, then asked, raising its head.

"No... Let’s leave it here for today, I have things to attend to tonight." The Year Beast Monarch said.

The Little Nian Beast thought for a bit, "Dad, be careful of those three demons from the Seven Deadly Sins, I have a feeling they’re up to no good, otherwise I wouldn’t have co back to see you."

"No need for you to remind ." The Year Beast Monarch said, "I can discern these things myself."

"Are you really planning to go to war with Lake Hunting?" The Little Nian Beast asked.

The Year Beast Monarch did not respond, only slowly rising from the cliff, turning his back to the last rays of light, and walking into the dark tunnel without looking back.

The Little Nian Beast remained on the ground, tilting its head to watch him go, then murmured:

"Speaking of which, my second machine is almost advancing to Tier Three, better find a suitable Contracted Demon on Hai Fan Mountain, at least a Catastrophe Level."

"But then again, taking action against the Zodiac Team is too conspicuous, wait, then..." At this point, it suddenly brightened up, "Why not sell out the Seven Deadly Sins? I feel like that Furious Demon is particularly suited to be a Contracted Demon, can beco both a sword and a shield, just perfect for the Empress to wield!"
