"Mengmeng, you just said that person, that person is..."
On her way back, Yao Anna, who had overheard the entire conversation between Song Mengmeng and the man in the suit, felt like the whole world was surreal!
Although she might not understand much about other things, she was still aware of Shuten-dōji's formidable reputation thanks to various anime, novels, and games!
That legendary demon king of the Cherry Blossom Country, a great monster who feeds on the souls of virgins!!
But, but it's just a legend!
How could it possibly be true?!
"Just kidding!" Song Mengmeng turned her head and looked at Yao Anna with a smile: "How could something that's just a legend come true? You agree, right?!"
Yao Anna looked into Song Mengmeng's eyes and nodded unconsciously. In the blink of an eye, she quickly recovered from her shock and stared blankly at Song Mengmeng: "We've only been out for a short while, why do we have to go back already?!"
Song Mengmeng didn't want Yao Anna to be troubled by what had just happened, so she easily blurred her previous memory.
So seeing that they were heading back, Yao Anna was unhappy. She pulled Song Mengmeng and turned at the alleyway ahead, heading straight for the specialty store she had previously located: "I heard that the silver jewelry there is all handmade, let's go take a look!"
Perhaps because she's gotten used to being with Song Mengmeng, Yao Anna no longer acts with the same affected manner she had when she first joined the show, and now she seems much more natural and casual!
If she was deliberately cultivating a straightforward persona before, now she's a genuine, energetic girl!
Instead of losing fans as she had hoped, she attracted even more attention because of her natural and pure performance on the show!
On the contrary... they gained more followers!
This unexpected gain was something Yao Anna herself hadn't anticipated, even though she had already decided to let loose! If it were before, she would have been excited, happy, and proud, wanting to tell the whole world; but now, she no longer had that utilitarian mindset, instead, she had less of that false pride and more of that down-to-earth steadiness.
Yao Anna and Song Mengmeng browsed around the silver jewelry store. After thinking for a while, she finally chose two pairs of small Pixiu earrings and paid for them.
"Here you go!" As soon as they left the store, Yao Anna eagerly handed a pair of earrings to Song Mengmeng: "I know you like Pixiu, so I bought two pairs. That way, we can each have a pair as a testament to our friendship, okay?!"
"Okay." Song Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and took the earrings that Yao Anna handed to her.
These mythical beasts don't reject making friends, but after experiencing many bad things, auspicious beasts like Pixiu, which symbolize good fortune and wealth, become extremely cautious when interacting with humans, let alone making friends.
It's true that it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!
Nobody knows what someone who's currently saying they want to be your friend might do to you the next moment!
However, he was the first person to ask to be her friend after she came into this world...
Song Mengmeng felt that she could still give her a chance!
"From now on, we're best friends! We'll help each other in the future, and no matter what happens, we can't betray each other!" Yao Anna smiled, raised her hand and gave Song Mengmeng a childlike smile: "Pinky promise!"
