"You... How did you become like this?" Shen Yanxiao pointed at his body half a head taller than herself, and could not believe her own eyes.

This was Taotie?

How could this be possible?

Her family's Taotie was clearly a natural foodie. He was a stupid but adorable, cute little boy, ah!

How did he turn into a cold and wild-looking handsome man in the blink of an eye?

This didn't make sense!

Taotie blinked his eyes and looked at Shen Yanxiao's shocked face. He hesitated for a moment before he once again changed his shape into that cute, little boy who wasn't even as tall as Shen Yanxiao's chest.

"Master, I'm protecting you!" With a grunt, Taotie acted like a spoiled child. He reached out and held Shen Yanxiao's slender waist, looked up at her small face and opened his big clear eyes. His eyes were full of words, "praise me, feed me, pat me".

"Protecting... me? " Clearly, Shen Yanxiao had not yet recovered from the horror of a cute, little boy becoming a handsome man, who had once again changed back to a cute, little boy.

"As I said, I will be responsible for protecting the safety of Master now that Lord Xiu and Vermillion Bird are not here. Master can rest a.s.sured that I will not let those undead hurt you!" Taotie looked at Shen Yanxiao very seriously.

Shen Yanxiao was stunned.

Taotie did say something similar before, but... She did not expect that he would protect her in such a way.

"You can become an adult human?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Taotie and asked.

Taotie nodded his head.

"Then why do you..." Why do you still appear in that adorably stupid form all day?!!

Taotie innocently bulged his cheeks and said, "Vermillion Bird said that Master likes us like this."

"..." Shen Yanxiao was speechless. What kind of things had Vermillion Bird instilled into Taotie's head in the end?

"Since when have you been able to change into the form of an adult human?" Shen Yanxiao's mouth twitched. She vaguely felt that she was being fooled by her two stupid sprouts.

"Shortly after the beast tide..." Taotie answered in a small voice.

"Can Vermillion Bird become an adult human too?" Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Yes."

"Since when?"

"A few days before we went to the Hidden Dragon Continent..."

"Very well. You two little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you've actually been deceiving me!" Shen Yanxiao squinted her eyes, grabbed Taotie and slapped him on his little b.u.t.tocks.

No wonder! She was always wondering why Taotie could still not transform into an adult human form, even after completely evolving into a Holy Beast, while Vermillion Bird was about to break through to the realm of a Holy Beast, yet he still had the appearance of a cute, little boy all day long.

As it turned out, these two little devils could already transform into a human adult's appearance a long time ago, but had been deceiving her!

"Wuhu! This is what Vermillion Bird said. Vermillion Bird said that master likes our adorable appearance so he didn't let me transform into an adult, wuhuhu..." Taotie broke into tears. Where did that wild and cold man just now go?!

Glittering tears hung on his small, adorable face as he stared at Shen Yanxiao with a look of someone who had been greatly wronged. Shen Yanxiao's heart tightened fiercely.

She suddenly let go of Taotie and turned her head to one side.

Looking at that little face again, the guilt in her heart would burst!

Vermillion Bird guessed exactly that Shen Yanxiao had no resistance to lovely little things; otherwise, the position of her summoned beast would no longer be occupied by Mini Dragon as she would not delay in sending it back to where its old man, Wings of Death, was.

In order to ensure that their status as favorites would not be shaken, Vermillion Bird roped in the foodie Taotie, and together they maintained their cute appearances, determined to be the most lovely ones in Shen Yanxiao's eyes.
