Chapter 902 (1/2)

When he heard the question, Little Qingchen’s round eyes swiveled around and he instinctively looked at Baili Shangxie, who was holding up his phone to Little Qingchen’s face. Then, turning around with his own phone in hand, he lowered his voice and asked, “Beauty Wei Wei, can I adopt a little demon? It’s an extremely obedient and well-behaved one.”

Demon?

Obedient?

Well-behaved?

Helian Wei Wei scoffed lightly and immediately thought of the two soulless corpses in the motel. Her eyes narrowed suddenly as she asked, “That new friend of yours, is he a demon?”

Little Qingchen knew that he could not keep it from her any longer, and simply nodded his tiny head. “Yeah, he said that he really likes the chocolate cake that you baked. After we’ve finished dealing with the problems here, can I bring him home?”

Catching the words ‘chocolate cake’, emotion flashed through Baili Shangxie’s previously indifferent face. He leaned closer to Little Qingchen and stuck his ear against the screen of the handphone.

“I’ll let you bring him home, but the first meeting should be outside.” Riding on the Tomahawk, Helian Wei Wei turned slightly to look at the steel tracks beside her. She could somewhat see the rear end of a train disappearing into a tunnel in the near distance. “I’m heading in the same direction as you are. That trafficker will get on a different train halfway through the journey. So, when the time comes, you guys must alight and wait at the entrance of the interchange station. I’ll come to get both of you. In the meantime, keep an eye on your little demon friend. Make sure you stop him from randomly eating people on the train, do you understand?”

“Understood.” Little Qingchen ended the call and looked up at Baili Shangxie as he said, “Beauty Wei Wei is also on her way, she must have found the bad guys’ base. She’s probably planning to follow us to deal with them together.”

Baili Shangxie’s devilishly scarlet eyes seemed to flicker as he asked, “How did she find out about our location?”

“A quick investigation will reveal everything,” Little Qingchen said nonchalantly.

Baili Shangxie tossed him a glance as he thought to himself. Don’t make fun of the fact that I’m not book-smart. Since when have humans achieved such high rates of efficiency? What’s more, an ordinary person can never uncover another person’s train details, let alone travel routes.

After he hung up, Little Qingchen returned the phone to the train attendant. However, because he was still quite young, it had pa.s.sed the time for him to wash up and prepare for bed. Thus, it was inevitable that he felt sleepy now, as he rubbed his eyes with his little hands.

There was only one extra seat nearby, and it had just been vacated. It would probably be taken by another person at the next stop.

Baili Shangxie noticed the drowsiness haunting him, so he hoisted him up onto one of the seats. He stood on Little Qingchen’s right side to prevent others from touching him.

Once Little Qingchen was done rubbing his eyes, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Do you want to call your guardian as well?”

Usually, little demons had to be supervised. Only then, they were allowed into the human world. Otherwise, they would be taken away by the Grim Reaper from the Underworld.

Baili Shangxie nonchalantly replied, “There’s no need, my imperial father doesn’t have enough time to pay attention to me. He also has to look for my imperial mother.”

“Imperial father, imperial mother?” Little Qingchen felt that these two greetings were undeniable familiar. It was as if he had heard it before. However, even after racking his brains, he could not remember where. Then, he uttered, After we finish off the bad guys, you’ll follow me home. Then, we can have Beauty Wei Wei ask your imperial father to pick you up.”

“Alright.” The two little ones, one standing while the other seated, were periodically chatting with each other.

They talked until the younger one fell asleep, with his head dipping time after time onto Baili Shangxie’s shoulders, just like a chick pecking at grains.

Baili Shangxie was worried that he might injure his tiny nose this way, so he decided not to move at all. Using his shoulder to support the little one, his hand was still holding Little Qingchen’s back.

His expression remained unchanged as he watched the beauty of the scenery on the other side of the window panes, making his side profile appear even cooler.

His thin lips seemed to quiver, but it was not very noticeable.

As the train slid into a dark tunnel, an image of his face was reflected off the window. Only now, he realized that he seemed to be speaking to some people.
