Bai Ju squatted on the sofa and looked at the TV in front of him absently.
What was playing on the TV was an enlightenment educational film specially customized by the Demon Management Bureau for demons like him who were out of touch with the times.
An owl was standing in front of a picture of a traffic light, pointing and saying: “Don’t cross the road in your beast form, this is a red light…”
Bai Ju was a dog demon, but after all, he was a big demon that could transform. It was not that he was limited by color blindness, and he didn’t have to rely on shape and position to identify traffic lights.
Watching this educational film made him sleepy.
Bai Ju hadn’t come down the mountain as soon as he woke up, in fact it had been more than half a year. During this period, he took a nap on the mountain, basking in the sun and doing nothing. Occasionally, he listened to the chatter of the little macaques. He learned about many things in the world, and he also recognized many modern simplified Chinese characters and numbers. Although he did not have a deep understanding of modern common sense, there was still no need for this enlightenment education film from scratch to guide him.
Alas, after all, it was the kindness of the human cub, so he had to bear it.
Bai Ju personally felt that since the Demon Management Bureau had recruited him to come down to discipline the little demons, it was normal for him to take care of the director first and test the waters… In return, the human being he took care of would teach him how to live in the world. This common sense could be regarded as someone’s good intentions. He couldn’t just dismiss them all, so he would just more or less pretend a little.
Bai Ju tried hard to convince himself to stay on the sofa and not move, but his ears involuntarily curled up behind him. Listening to the rustle of the human kid turning the pages, he secretly began to think:
This human looks like he is only twenty-four or five years old. He looks like he is reading classics so hard at night. Is he still thinking about going to Beijing to take the exam?
No, this person is already an official, so he doesn’t have to deal with exams… Or maybe there are other exam schools? What rank does he hold now? Why does he need to do so many things personally? In the past, the county government was not necessarily so busy. When the world was stable, most people would rest after sunset and sleep until dawn.
Recalling Xiao Yao’s lonely appearance when he stepped into the house, Bai Ju always felt that this young man did not live a good life, and he did not look like an official.
Bai Ju glanced at the time in the corner of the TV screen. It was already past ten o’clock in the evening. Seeing that half the night was about to pass, Bai Ju felt that this young man was a little pitiful.
He was only in his twenties, so he should sleep more at night, and maybe he can grow taller.
It’s late at night, and he has to deal with things first as soon as he gets home. He’s as busy as an emperor, but he can’t even afford a three-bedroom apartment.
What’s more pitiful is that he must be too busy, so he hasn’t found a wife at this age.
Miscellaneous thoughts were running through his mind, and Bai Ju no longer knew what was on the TV.
Getting off the sofa lightly, Bai Ju simply put the TV aside and followed the soft rustling sound towards Xiao Yao’s study room – he had decided to take care of this human being.
Xiao Yao was the only one living in his mansion, so he didn’t have the habit of closing the study door at home. Now there was an extra guest in the house, but his appearance was too unintimidating, and his temper seemed a bit old-fashioned, especially since he still had a lot of merits and virtues on his body – in short, Bai Ju didn’t make Xiao Yao feel any defensive thoughts, but it made Xiao Yao always want to stroke the dog’s head.
At this moment, Xiao Yao calmed down to read and deal with the bits and pieces of affairs. After a while, he forgot about Bai Ju who was watching TV obediently. Then, when a deep voice suddenly sounded in his mind –
Xiao Yao’s coffee cup overturned.
Bai Ju: “…”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Bai Ju: “…Sorry.” He just said, “It’s getting late, you should go to bed.” He didn’t expect to surprise this human being by his arrival.
Xiao Yao glanced at the coffee stains on his clothes and was somewhat thankful that there wasn’t much coffee left so it didn’t spill on the table.
He turned around and saw Bai Ju standing at the door of the study room with only his head peeking out. He felt a little itchy seeing those clean and deep black eyes.
This dog demon was as polite as a gentleman… Although his behavior was occasionally inappropriate, he was so well-behaved that he just wanted to rub the dog’s head crazily.
This is a demon king, a demon king, a demon king.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yao put aside his disrespectful thoughts, shook his head with a calm face, stood up, opened the study door, and said warmly: “It’s okay… It’s my fault for not paying attention to Bai Wang.” Of course, he couldn’t blame him as the white guy really walked silently.
Bai Ju raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Yao didn’t know how he read his expression, moved his fingers uncomfortably, and compromised: “I’m going to take a shower, and I’ll go to bed soon.”
Bai Ju took two steps back, moved away from the door, and glanced at Xiao Yao thoughtfully and then followed the other.
This young human being had a good temper and was willing to let him control him. He also seemed to be very calm and polite… It seemed that he could reach a perfect cooperative relationship with this human being in the future and jointly discipline the little demons.
Since he met a partner who he didn’t need to do Tai Chi with, the old dog with little brains wagged his tail happily.
There were two bathrooms in the villa, one in the guest room on the first floor and the other in the master bedroom on the second floor. The one on the first floor was not used much, so Xiao Yao was about to go back to his room to wash up. In the blink of an eye, he saw Bai Ju following him, and he paused, then he changed his direction and simply introduced the layout of the villa to Bai Ju who was following suit.
The villa was divided into three floors. The first floor had the living room, kitchen, guest room and study room. There was no special dining room. The kitchen was not small, and placing a dining table there was enough. The second floor was where Xiao Yao rested and relaxed on weekdays. The layout was not as compact as the first floor. There were only two bedrooms, a gym and a large balcony which he used as a part-time tea room. As for the third floor, it was the attic, which was divided into two rooms. The shady one contained sundries and things commonly used at home, and the sunny one had a glass roof and was a flower room.
“Do you like planting flowers?” The stairs were not very wide. Bai Ju followed Xiao Yao as he walked up, his long hair rubbing against Xiao Yao’s legs.
Xiao Yao was a little dazed by the white hair touching his body, and his mind got stuck for a moment before replying: “No, I don’t have much time to take care of flowers and plants on weekdays… The flowers and plants in the greenhouse are all spiritual flowers and herbs that have the potential to open up wisdom, so it doesn’t require a lot of thought on my part; they are easy to pick if left outside, so I put them in my house, which is safer than outside.” Moreover, the half-blooming flowers, plants and Lingzhi were quite cute, and they would occasionally give him some of their leaves and he drank them as tea.
Bai Ju was thoughtful, then he raised his nose and sniffed, there was a faint smell of spiritual soil in the air.
This human being talked lightly, but in fact he had put in a lot of effort to cultivate these unenlightened little demons.
A duplicitous human brat.
Bai Ju lowered his head and grinned, feeling that Director Xiao Yao was really becoming more and more pleasing to his eyes – he was a good boy.
Xiao Yao didn’t know what the demon king beside him was thinking about, but he had finished introducing the villa and was about to go back to the bedroom to take a shower when Bai Ju followed him.
Xiao Yao: …
Xiao Yao stopped outside his bedroom door and said euphemistically: “Bai Wang, I’m going to take a shower.”
Bai Ju looked up at him without moving.
Xiao Yao hesitantly opened the bedroom door.
Bai Ju sniffed the air, and without setting foot on this human’s private territory, he raised his head and urged, “Go wash up quickly, my king…I’ll be here to guard you.”
Xiao Yao was a little surprised.
Although this Bai Wang was a dog demon, he was still a demon king. This condescension to protect him… did not seem like something a demon king would do.
Seeing Xiao Yao not moving, Bai Ju was a little puzzled, so he stepped forward, put his nose on Xiao Yao’s lower back, and pushed him forward: “Go quickly, don’t worry, I’ll stay here, if there’s anything, just shout out.”
Xiao Yao then entered the bathroom confused.
This Bai Wang seemed to have misunderstood the word guardian. Rather than being taken care of, Bai Wang seemed to have put himself in the position of taking care of others. If he explained it directly to him, it seemed that he would refute the Demon King’s face, but if he didn’t explain clearly, Xiao Yao was worried that something would go wrong.
Xiao Yao took a shower absentmindedly, thinking of his clothes that were stained by coffee. He sighed and waved, and a purification charm flew out of the sink drawer, flashed slightly, and disappeared into the laundry basket.
Bai Ju lay at the door of Xiao Yao’s bedroom, listening to the sound of rushing water, not daring to take it lightly.
When he was guarding the mountain in the past, he saw many children who drowned while playing in the water or bathing, and even many hunters who claimed to be good at swimming but were buried at the bottom of the river. Although he was a demon king at the time, he was not a serious mountain god after all. Even if he wanted to save people, he couldn’t always be on guard against accidents.
Modern facilities were very convenient and nice, but when Bai Ju heard the word bathing, he still felt a little worried about the human being staying alone in the bathroom.
The bathtub was big enough for someone to drown.
Even if you don’t take a bath and just shower, the slippery floor would still be dangerous.
Even if you only shower and the ground was not slippery, what if there was a problem with the water temperature and it could burn or cool humans?
Bai Ju felt that he was worrying a little too much, but he still couldn’t help but think about it.
Maybe he was too nervous. Bai Ju reflected that maybe the world had changed so much that he himself was not adaptable, nervous, and uneasy, and in turn, he was nervous and anxious for Xiao Yao.
What the humans did was still right.
Bai Ju thought that in his current state, he was really not suitable to directly discipline the little demons. No wonder Director Xiao wanted to let him try to supervise him personally first.
Bai Ju didn’t wait too long. About ten minutes later, Xiao Yao stepped on the moisture in the room and wiped his hair.
Seeing Bai Ju still lying down at the door of the bedroom, Xiao Yao casually put the towel around his neck to prevent the sharp water droplets from getting his collar wet. He squatted down, maybe because he was tired after taking a shower and it had started to show up, and his voice had become softer: “Bai Wang, let me take you to the guest room? Do you want to sleep upstairs or downstairs?”
Bai Ju sniffed, smelling the aroma of Xiao Yao’s toiletries, and he was in a slight daze for a moment and immediately puckered his ears.
This human seemed a little too close to him. After taking a shower, squatting down to talk, and still getting so close… no matter how you look at it, it was an unguarded gesture.
Bai Ju was a little flattered.
He shook his ears and felt Xiao Yao’s clear and lingering voice reaching his ears, crawling from his head all the way down his spine to his tail.
His tail waggled involuntarily, Bai Ju raised his head slightly, rolled his tongue, and wiped off the water droplets on Xiao Yao’s chin, and replied with some pleasure: “I can sleep anywhere, but that sofa is pretty good.”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Xiao Yao froze in place, maintaining his squatting movement, and everything from his hair to the soles of his feet was frozen into a sculpture.
Bai Ju: ???
Bai Ju didn’t quite understand what was wrong with this human being. So he thought carefully and listened to Xiao Yao’s heartbeat.
Xiao Yao’s heart: “…Ying!!!”
It was deafening.
