Chapter 255.2: Little Gray (2/2)

Tang Doudou hastily shook her head. Even if Baili Yu were to get jealous, he’d have to see it to be jealous. He wasn’t even here, so why would she be worried about him getting jealous?

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

“Get on.”

Tang Doudou tried walking again but she still couldn’t move. She could only give in and get on his back. “Mu Ye, I…”

“There’s no need.”

Mu Ye wasn’t wrong. After about another hour, a forest appeared. They walked into the forest for a while and arrived at a concealed mountain cave.

“Rest.” Mu Ye set her down so that she could sit. “I’m going out for a bit. Don’t make any noise.”

Tang Doudou replied ‘en.’ He then turned and left.

Tang Doudou guessed that he had gone off to get some food. Since this mountain cave seemed to be pretty far from any roads, she felt like it wasn’t likely for anyone to wander in. Thus she decided to just lean against the rock wall and sleep.

However, not long after she closed her eyes, there was a familiar rustling sound. She got up and saw that the little monkey had appeared at the cave entrance.

“Lil’ Gray?” called Tang Doudou. The small monkey immediately jumped up and cupped its hands to salute her enthusiastically.

Tang Doudou was a bit surprised by the monkey’s passion. She and the monkey didn’t seem to be that familiar?

“Why did you come?”

Lil’ Gray scratched his head, then started bowing towards her again. He then rolled around on the floor making weird gestures as if he was trying to convey something.

However, Tang Doudou couldn’t understand it at all and could only ask helplessly, “Lil’ Gray, what exactly are you trying to say?”

“It’s saying that someone’s chasing after us.” Right at this moment, Mu Ye walked in. “We can’t rest here anymore.”

Lil’ Gray became even more excited when he saw Mu Ye and rushed straight towards him. He quickly climbed onto Mu Ye’s shoulder and rubbed against his face. Tang Doudou didn’t know that Mu Ye knew Lil’ Gray so she silently remarked ‘crap’ upon seeing this scene. For better or for worse, Mu Ye was the Leader of the Demonic Sect. After being offended by a monkey like this, he’ll definitely smack Lil’ Gray to death.

“Mu Ye, this is Lil’ Gray. Don’t…” Unexpectedly, before she could even finish her words, she saw Mu Ye smile towards the little monkey with a gentle expression in his eyes. He thenpatted the little monkey and moved it to his palm.

He walked towards Tang Doudou and asked, “Lil’ Gray? That’s the name you came up for it?”

“Mm. I encountered it earlier in Cerulean Mountain’s forbidden grounds and just started calling i this way.”

Mu Ye lowered his head, then handed Lil’ Gray to her. His ice-blue eyes still contained a bit of the gentle smile from earlier. “I’ll give him to you.”

“Hah?” Tang Doudou was too surprised to react for a moment.

Mu Ye threw Lil’ Gray into her arms and Lil’ Gray nimbly climbed onto her shoulder.

“Lil’ Gray, what a pleasant name.” After he said that, he crouched down again. “Someone followed Lil’ Gray over so let’s hurry and leave.”
