I'm not human anymore

? Chicken thief?

"Oh." What are you looking for?

Shi Yan looked up at the veiled Gu Jinmo suspiciously.

Is he so tightly covered at night because he is afraid of who will recognize him?

Gu Jinmo had a veil on his face, and his white clothes stood out in the dark alleyway. When the breeze swept by, the corners of his clothes fluttered, like a fairy who had fallen into the mundane world by mistake.

"come out!"

With a light sigh, Gu Jinmo looked straight at the shadow at the corner.

Shi Yan was startled by the sound, subconsciously pulled upwards, and crawled directly onto Gu Jinmo's shoulder.

"Ow!" What are you doing so loudly!

The hair on the side of the face was messed up by Shi Yan's sweeping tail, but Gu Jinmo didn't care, the air pressure in his body was a little low, "Aren't you coming out yet?"

Shi Yan turned his head, hooked his claws on Gu Jinmo's collar, and followed her gaze towards the corner.

It was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly, only a small shadow on the ground, but it was more like the reflection of the moonlight on the sundries.

Suddenly, the shadow moved, accompanied by the cry of the girl.

"Ah ~ senior sister, don't be fierce, it's me."

Yunxi put a broken bamboo basket on her head, and squatted on the ground looking at Gu Jinmo with tears in her eyes.

Shi Yan: ...

Why is this girl here?

How did Gu Jinmo know?

There are a lot of question marks in Shi Yan's head, what kind of strange ability is this, to know where the little girl is even without going out?

Gu Jinmo didn't know that it was Yunxi hidden inside, so he clenched his hands behind his back tightly to suppress the spiritual power that was about to be punched out.

If it wasn't for Yunxi, the person in front of him would be dead by now.

Gu Jinmo looked at the pitiful Yunxi with a cold face, trying to suppress the surging emotions in his eyes, exhaled slowly, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Yunxi took down the wooden basket, and bounced to Gu Jinmo's side, "You are all gone, even Xu Qing is not here, I am too boring staying in Qingliu Peak."

"Nonsense." Gu Jinmo frowned slightly, "Do you know how anxious the Peak Master will be if you gossip like this?"

Seeing Gu Jinmo treating her so harshly, Yunxi burst into tears in an instant, pattering down, "But... I want to be with my senior sister."

"I left a letter in the room, Dad will know."

"This time is different, what if..." Gu Jinmo couldn't bear to look at her like this, after all, she was a girl brought up since she was a child.

If Yunxi followed them, wouldn't it be more logical for the people arranged by the old fox to follow them.

Yunxi didn't know the twists and turns, she just wanted to follow behind her senior sister, even if she stayed beside her and didn't talk, it would be fine.

"No, I will protect myself, and my senior sister will protect me too, right?"

Gu Jinmo turned around and walked towards the alley, "Let's go back to the inn first."

Yunxi followed immediately, and her voice echoed in the alleyway: "Okay! I know that Senior Sister is the best!"

Shi Yan watched from the side all the time, and could feel Gu Jinmo's ever-changing emotions.

She seems to be... different to this Yunxi?

"Oh?" You don't want her to stay here?

Gu Jinmo grabbed her off his shoulders, and squeezed her paws gently with his fingers.

Shi Yan's body hurt a little from this force, and he bit Gu Jinmo's thumb with a whimper.

The canine teeth were a bit sharp, and there was a slight smell of blood when it pierced the skin.

So fragrant...

A red light flashed deep in Shi Yan's pupils, and he pressed his mouth harder.

More blood flowed out, staining the hair around Shi Yan's mouth red.

Gu Jinmo groaned as he hugged her, and the warm liquid dripped down his palm to the ground.

"Senior Sister!" Yunxi came around from behind and screamed.

Gu Jinmo covered Shi Yan's eyes with his other hand, and said in a flat tone, "It's nothing, let's go back."

"Are you really okay?" Yunxi's brows and eyes were full of worry.

Gu Jinmo hummed, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

Enduring the numbness of his palms, Gu Jinmo settled Yunxi in Xu Qing's room, regardless of the shock of the two people in the room, Gu Jinmo returned to his room with the little thing humming in his arms.

Biting his thumb won't bleed much, Gu Jinmo raised his little head that was arched in her palm, and stared straight at her with a pair of scarlet eyes.

This……

Gu Jinmo let go of his hand, and when Shi Yan had time to bury his head in his palm, he licked the wet blood.

After licking everything clean, Shi Yan seemed still not satisfied, raised his head and groaned into Gu Jinmo's arms.

It was just a simple hum, and Gu Jinmo didn't understand a word.

But the meaning of this coquettish look is obvious, she didn't drink enough.

Naturally, she couldn't ignore her contracted beast...

Glancing at the dark sky outside, Gu Jinmo pursed his lips and mercilessly stuffed the white dumpling in his arms back into the space pocket.

A white light flashed, and the person sitting at the table disappeared without a trace, and the window was wide open.

……

Yunxi opened the door and stretched, looked at He Bei who was staring at her not far away and waved happily: "Senior Brother He, good morning."

"Junior Sister Yun, why are you here, and..." He Bei pointed to Xu Qing who came out behind her: "Still in Nephew Xu's room?"

Yunxi's expression froze, and then she smiled with big white teeth: "This...it's a long story."

He Bei glanced at Gu Jinmo downstairs from the corner of his eye, and probably knew something in his heart.

"Since Junior Sister Yun is here, we have an extra companion."

It is said that Yunxi, the only daughter of the peak lord, loves Gu Jinmo very much, and follows her wherever she goes, and it seems to be true.

The three of them went downstairs together and saw Gu Jinmo scooping up porridge with a spoon to feed the white dumplings on the table.

"Senior Sister~" Yunxi called out sweetly and ran over.

Gu Jinmo nodded and continued to move his hands, his right thumb wrapped in gauze was particularly conspicuous.

Yunxi saw it as soon as he came, "Senior sister, your hand..."

Gu Jinmo glanced at his hand and said, "It's nothing."

As if punitively poking Shi Yan's head with his finger.

When she was poked, Yan lay obediently on the table this time, and Gu Jinmo fed her a sip.

After all... this time it was my fault.

He Bei also came over, saw Gu Jinmo's hand and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with Gu Shimei's hand?"

Yunxi sat beside Gu Jinmo, shrugged her nose and raised her chin to look at Shi Yan: "This little thing didn't bite me."

"Contracted beast...will it bite its master?" It was the first time He Bei had heard of it, and he looked curiously at Shi Yan who was squinting his eyes and drinking porridge.

There were also quite a few people in the inn in the morning, discussing the latest miracles noisily.

"It's strange. Tell me, why did the old Wang's chickens die overnight?"

"Not only that, I heard that the blood was drained..."

"I'm afraid it wasn't done by some monster?"

Several people were talking in low voices, and Gu Jinmo's table was next to them, so he could hear them clearly.

"Hey, there are still people stealing chickens these days." Yunxi was full of disgust.

After listening, He Bei added: "Draining the blood is indeed a bit cruel."

Shi Yan licked the white hair around his mouth, looking at her with watery blue eyes.

"Oh." They said you.

Gu Jinmo: ...
