This is a date

Some strands of Xi Ma's long hair is sticking out all over the place and a part of his face has black and white paint aligned as tiger stripes. There are also some on his robes.

"What happened to you?" Lou Ren questioned Xi Ma's weird appearance. "Did you went out of the Mortal Domain?" he added with a smirk, just doing a wild guess.

Lou Ren is also able to confirm that his friend seems to badly need the rest. He curiously peeked at Xi Ma, wondering what he plans to do because they seldom need the rest as Keepers.

With a dark face, "Not really. Just do not ask more to it." Xi Ma replied, not really interested to tell Lou Ren that he is stupid enough to barge into someone's home, steal they are dried up white flowers that were created a necklace to be placed on deity's small status.
