Bai Ju’s ability to transform was not so bad that he couldn’t even change his clothes.
Referring to Xiao Yao’s wardrobe, Bai Ju put on a white shirt and a pair of off-white jeans, and then stood still on the floor with his bare feet.
…Although the shape-shifting ability was not that bad, Bai Ju really couldn’t change his shoes, and he couldn’t change the color of his clothes. It was already the limit for him to barely use it to turn his white hair into a bit of gray.
Xiao Yao held back his laughter and pushed Bai Ju down on the sofa, intending to tie up his hair.
It was sunny outside today and the temperature was not low. Bai Ju was a long-haired dog with thick hair hanging behind his back. He might get hot while walking… he wondered if the human-shaped Bai Ju used his tongue to dissipate heat? Xiao Yao imagined the appearance of Bai Ju sticking out its tongue and felt that the picture was a bit erotic.
Xiao Yao wandered around the house looking for a comb, thinking that maybe his mind was too busy at the moment and he was thinking a lot.
There was no rubber band prepared at home, so Xiao Yao thought about it, removed a thin cowhide rope hanging from the metal plate, tied a ponytail for Bai Ju, and then fixed it with a finger.
Realizing that his hair was tied up, Bai Ju tugged on the two strands left on his temples and asked, “Aren’t you going to tie this up?”
Xiao Yao put away his comb, walked around to Bai Ju and looked at him, and shook his head when he heard this: “No need to tie it up, keep it, it looks nice.”
Bai Ju’s facial lines were actually very tough and aggressive, but his eyes were very mellow, pure and affectionate when you looked at him, this contradictory temperament was too obvious and it was really attractive.
When he let the curly hair down…it softened the lines, covered up a bit of wildness, hid a bit of corners…so others couldn’t see it.
Xiao Yao couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, feeling a little secretly happy.
Bai Ju glanced at the happy human young man and ignored what he was planning. Instead, he clicked on the markings on his face and changed the subject: “This is what I was injured by a demon before. The scar can’t be removed, and magic can’t cover it… How can I hide it?”
Hearing Bai Ju’s words, Xiao Yao was slightly stunned and looked closer with a serious expression.
Now that China’s Shinto had declined, demons were also no longer that active. The underworld and the Yangjing cooperated in public security, and there were very few demons appearing. Xiao Yao had thus never been exposed to injuries caused by demons.
Bai Ju leaned back on the sofa and looked down at the young human being who had come closer.
The cunning boy just now had disappeared. The human in front of him, who was looking closely at his markings, looked serious, just like what Bai Ju saw when they first met.
Cold, shrewd, meticulous and unpredictable.
He didn’t look alive at all…in short, it didn’t look as lively as it did just now.
Xiao Yao carefully observed the markings on Bai Ju’s face. The rust-red lines intertwined and spread from the end of the eyes, slightly bulging on the surface of the skin, and the entangled shape resembled three or four connected roses.
The demonic energy on the scar had long since dissipated, but he didn’t know why the scar could not heal. There may be something deep-rooted that could not be removed. Bai Ju was a demon king, half a mountain god. A long time ago, his strength was neither extremely strong nor weak. What the great demon with countless merits could not remove, he was afraid he would have to rely on his godhead to let it be removed.
A demon that could leave such scars was definitely not simple.
Bai Ju’s injury must have been very dangerous.
He wondered if the Warlock Association had any way to remove this scar.
Xiao Yao was thinking about how to remove the markings, but he didn’t notice that he was too close to Bai Ju.
It was so close that Bai Ju lowered his head slightly and bumped his forehead again.
Bai Ju stretched out his hand to press the back of Xiao Yao’s head, and gently pushed his head. The tips of their noses touched each other, and they smelled each other’s breath. However, Old Dog Bai didn’t think there was anything wrong with touching noses with his little brother, and even bent his eyes to coax him: “Okay…it’s okay. If you can’t cover it, you can’t cover it. Don’t look so serious; be happy.”
Xiao Yao took a breath.
Xiao Yao stiffened and pushed away Bai Ju’s hand covering the back of his head and straightened up as calmly as possible.
Was there such a thing as coaxing big brother? It almost made his little brother’s little brother hard.
Xiao Yao calmed down, turned around to find something, and said half-jokingly: “Who said it can’t be covered? Brother Bai, you have to believe me.”
It was just something that magic couldn’t solve, physical methods could still block it.
There were no cosmetics such as concealer or foundation in Xiao Yao’s house, but there were a few pairs of sunglasses in the drawer under the coffee table. Xiao Yao didn’t like to wear sunglasses on weekdays, but sometimes he wore them when driving in the sun; it was just perfect for Bai Ju now.
It could also block those inviting eyes. Xiao Yao felt quite satisfied.
The black lenses were blocking his eyes. Bai Ju took off his sunglasses and touched them with some novelty, then put them back on the bridge of his nose. He turned his head and expressed his thoughts: “This thing is really useful… I can see you clearly, but you can’t see me clearly.”
Xiao Yao glanced at the two tips of Bai Ju’s teeth when he spoke and felt that Bai Ju wearing sunglasses seemed to be exuding hormones in a different way.
Anyway, he couldn’t hide it.
Really stunned. Xiao Yao patted his forehead, feeling that it was wrong for him to keep trying to hide Bai Ju.
Bai Ju didn’t know how crooked the human young man’s heart was. He put sunglasses on his nose and looked around, but he still sat on the sofa and didn’t move. After all, it was Xiao Yao who asked him to sit here, so Bai Ju accepted the arrangement calmly. Just waiting for Xiao Yao to help him pack everything up and take him out for a walk.
Xiao Yao was a good boy.
Bai Ju’s eyes followed Xiao Yao as he ran around. Seeing him quickly changing into a shirt and casual pants, and combing his hair back with moss to expose his forehead, he couldn’t help but ask: “Why do you want to comb your hair back?”
Bai Ju felt that he was not being nosy. He imitated Xiao Yao’s words and said, “No need to comb it, just leave it alone to look good.”
Xiao Yao paused while putting on his windbreaker, with a hint of helplessness on his meticulous face: “Leaving it like this makes me look smaller… I am the director, I have to be more dignified.”
Bai Ju nodded thoughtfully: “Yes, official robes have been difficult to wear since ancient times.” Without a beard on his mouth, he was too embarrassed to care about others.
Xiao Yao smiled, took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his windbreaker pocket and put them on.
His eyesight was fine and his glasses were plain; it was just that his yin and yang eyes were not very powerful and he needed to use lenses to see those ghosts that were too superficial.
Bai Ju glanced at Xiao Yao’s glasses and was a little curious: “What’s the use of these?”
Xiao Yao understood Bai Ju’s question and replied: “They are used to correct vision. There are many people in modern times who are nearsighted and farsighted. If you can’t see clearly, you have to use lenses to correct it. I use it just so I can see ghosts and demons more clearly.”
Bai Ju frowned slightly when he heard this: “I know you have yin and yang eyes…But do you always keep your eyes open?”
Yin and yang eyes should not be something that people in the Yang world have. Even if people in Xuanmen were born with yin and yang eyes, they would choose to seal them on weekdays and use them only when necessary. There was no other reason. Something like the Yin and Yang Eye transcended reincarnation. There was a price to pay for using it, and it would also cause psychological and physical burdens to the user. If it was used all year round, the loss outweighed the gain.
Xiao Yao turned his back to Bai Ju, squatted down and opened the shoe cabinet to look for something: “Nothing… I have a lot of merits, which can offset the loss of Yin and Yang eyes. Although I can sense evil spirits without opening my eyes, after all, that keenness is the most intuitive thing to see.”
Bai Ju’s mouth curled into a straight line.
To put it bluntly, it was still the saying “Official robes have been difficult to wear since ancient times”. As the director of the Demon Management Bureau, Xiao Yao was also a big warlock. The higher the position, the heavier the responsibility. Others could ignore the traces of demons, but he had to pay full attention to them.
What a life this young human being lived.
Bai Ju couldn’t sit still. He stood up and walked towards Xiao Yao.
However, Xiao Yao hadn’t noticed that the well-behaved Bai Ju, who walked silently, was rummaging for the flip-flops stuffed in the corner of the shoe cabinet.
His feet were two sizes smaller than Bai Ju’s, and his shoes couldn’t fit Bai Ju at all, so he had only a pair of flip-flops to hold on to. He would have to buy shoes for Bai Ju soon.
This couldn’t be blamed on Xiao Yao for not considering buying Bai Ju’s clothes, but he never thought that Bai Ju, a demon king, would be not very good at changing his body… The red fox living in Hall 27 was very good at changing his body, in fact he changed his clothes every day.
Xiao Yao found the flip-flops, but before he could take them out, his eyes suddenly flashed. An ivory-white hand came over from the side of his cheek and took off his flat glasses.
“?” Xiao Yao was a little surprised and turned around to face Bai Ju’s face.
Bai Ju had a solemn expression and smeared Xiao Yao’s eyelids with his fingers: “When you take me out in the future…you can seal the yin and yang eyes.”
He was afraid that he didn’t speak clearly enough, so he slyly moved to seal Xiao Yao’s yin and yang eyes. He sealed it and explained: “I can see everything, and I can distinguish good from evil.”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Xiao Yao handed the flip-flops to Bai Ju with a blank expression: “… You put it on, let’s go out.”
Bai Ju glanced at him and didn’t answer.
Xiao Yao sighed and compromised: “Let’s try it for today.”
The responsibility of the Demon Management Bureau rested on his shoulders. Although Bai Ju’s words hit his heart like a straight ball, after all, Bai Ju had never been exposed to the affairs of the Demon Management Bureau, so it was naturally impossible for Xiao Yao to agree to this.
Bai Ju nodded with satisfaction, reached out to take the flip-flops, and made two gestures to put them on. It was a bit uncomfortable, but overall it felt okay.
After a whole morning of fussing over bits and pieces, the two of them finally went out.
Xiao Yao looked at Bai Ju’s tall and straight figure and smiled a little… He had never done anything so inefficiently in his life.
He had been grinding all morning and his heart was soft.
Bai Ju pushed his sunglasses to his forehead, feeling that the sunshine was just right at the moment, and the slightly humid air from Jiangnan brushed against his skin, making it warm and soft.
He stood at the door and waited for a while. Then Xiao Yao, who had locked the door and activated the restriction, walked out.
Under the warm sunshine, Bai Ju saw the shrewd young human being smiling slightly at him, and then said, “Let’s go.”
Old Dog Bai followed him in a good mood, wagging his tail and stretching out a hand. He shook his head and said, “Then you have to hold me a little longer…”
