Chapter 1716: Little Taotie Requests to Fight
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.
Hua Jinyan decided that this year’s Christmas gift would be a set of pure gold blocks for Little Taotie.
Little Taotie handed Lou Lan a gold brick with a casual motion.
However, Lou Lan subconsciously took a step back.
Little Taotie immediately channeled Sherlock Holmes, taking out a pipe candy: "Teacher, why are you dodging? You must know there’s a curse on the gold brick, right? You know the gold brick is from that Ancient Pagoda! Did you follow us? Otherwise, how could you know?"
A barrage of questions came down, leaving Lou Lan a bit dumbfounded.
He had only taken a step back.
And it was a very subtle, very small step.
How was he seen through?
Lou Lan stared at the pipe candy in Little Taotie’s hand, having long heard that Little Taotie loved solving mystery stories. It seems now, she not only likes watching but also loves solving them!
Lou Lan helplessly said, "Alright, there’s no need to argue, I admit it, I did follow you for a while, but after you left the Ancient Tower, I stopped."
Little Taotie puffed out her cheeks, hands on her hips: "Teacher, this is wrong of you!"
Lou Lan sighed, "I know it’s wrong, but I worry about you, afraid you’ll go to dangerous places or meet dangerous people. You don’t know, recently the number of missing people has been increasing sharply. Around the year’s end, many Evil Spirits appear."
"Evil Spirits’ doing? Not human?" Little Taotie was also skilled at D-surfing and had seen such things, always assuming it was human.
"Humans do it, and Evil Spirits do too, both are quite pervasive."
"Have any of the missing people been found?" Little Taotie touched her small nose, "If the Special Department can handle this, I’d request to fight."
Lou Lan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Fight what fight, do you think it’s a battlefield?"
"Fighting against evil forces is a battle!"
"You sure have a way with words."
"So can I join the battle then?"
"First find Shen Cang. Without finding your Head Grandpa, my words won’t count, and I’m not familiar with the newcomer."
Little Taotie thought of the new Head Grandpa, her big eyes blinking, her eyes glittering.
"You wouldn’t be planning to go directly to him, would you?"
"Eh? How did you know?"
Lou Lan twitched the corner of his mouth, "One look at your expression can make a guess, your expression management is lacking."
But actually, under a big tree, Shen Cangsheng lay on the ground, face upward, hands on his belly, eyes closed as if he had peacefully passed. If you feel carefully, even his breathing was very light and slow.
In essence, this body hadn’t eaten for nearly two months.
This is also why those awakened spiritual bodies turned into Starved Ghosts, going unfed for thousands of years, enough to drive them crazy with hunger.
At this moment, only one Ghost was left lying intact in the box Shen Cang locked them in.
If you ask where the other Ghosts went, you’d have to ask if the remaining Ghost is full?
This Ghost was the very one that had previously possessed the little White Person and participated in the Big Stomach King competition, almost winning against Little Taotie, the Starved Ghost.
After this feast, he seemed to feel no hunger, and the Ghost’s luster and color became extremely solid.
Initially, if there was transparency, in some software, the transparency might be very low, but at this moment, it’s almost invisible, feeling almost 100% tangible.
