On the street.
Many dwarves bustled back and forth, all casting their gazes toward an unusual duo: a knight clad in silver armor grasping the nape of a cute-looking loli with one hand, as he headed toward a distant blacksmith shop.
The dwarf loli, expressionless, felt the astonished stares from around and asked in a tone of resignation,
"This is so embarrassing, can you put me down?"
"..."
Xi Mu lifted the dwarf loli higher to meet his gaze, "Isn't it nice not having to walk by yourself?"
"..." The dwarf loli swung her short legs, her face still devoid of expression as she looked at the man with a twisted pleasure, "It's impossible for me to escape under a demon's watch; you don't need to keep carrying me."
"Since you say so." Xi Mu suddenly stopped, stood in front of the blacksmith's shop, and placed the dwarf loli at the doorway.
"Don't run off unless you want to be carried again." With that, he walked into the blacksmith shop.
