Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Bai Bai Little Beast is Color Blind
Tao Ti sobbed, her ears catching a whisper, “Maybe you’ll meet again.”
“I can meet Grandpa again?”
“Shh! This is a secret.”
The Horse-Faced Man extended his slender index finger to Tao Ti’s lips and shook his head.
Tao Ti knew she shouldn’t ask any further.
She had heard the War God mention that the secrets of heaven should not be revealed, and now the Horse-Faced Man likely meant the same.
Tao Ti hung her head, feeling both lost and sad.
Her small hand suddenly got taken, she tilted her head, and looked up at the tall Horse-Faced Man. Through the holes of the mask, she could meet a pair of kind and gentle eyes.
“Come, I’ll take you to see the Flower of the Other Shore.”
The Horse-Faced Man led Tao Ti back, walked up the arched bridge, and stood on top. He gently waved his sleeve, and the red and yellow mists enveloping the bridge dispersed, revealing the full view of the shores on either side of the bridge.
On one side was a sea of red Flowers of the Other Shore, with red leaves dancing in the sky, and on the other, a sea of white Flowers of the Other Shore, with snowflakes fluttering around.
Tao Ti looked at the Horse-Faced Man’s head, and from her angle, it also seemed topped with two seas of flowers, half red and half white.
Because of the swaying flowers, she knew the Horse-Faced Man meant her no harm.
“I can tell that, in your previous life, you were a fierce beast.”
“You actually know!” Tao Ti was surprised.
“In the eyes of a fierce beast, which looks better, the red Flower of the Other Shore or the white one?”
Tao Ti tilted her head, pondered for a long time.
“They look exactly the same to me… I’m colorblind.”
When Tao Ti became the Little Beast Bai Bai in her dreams, she was colorblind.
The Horse-Faced Man paused, slightly shocked.
He never understood why there were two colors of the Flowers of the Other Shore on the path of reincarnation.
The red Flowers of the Other Shore bloomed in Hell, and the white ones bloomed in Heaven; the red ones are also called Red Spider Lily, and the white ones Mandara Flower.
One in Heaven and one in Hell, never to meet.
But here, they bloomed and withered at the same time, a puzzling sight.
Perhaps, the Divine Beast Di Ting was also colorblind!
The Flowers of the Other Shore were planted by Di Ting.
Having unraveled the confusion that had lingered for years, he chuckled softly, “So simple, whether red or white, they’re just flowers after all. I’m just a layman troubling himself over it, thinking too complicatedly.”
The Horse-Faced Man took a Horse-Faced Bell from his waist and handed it to Tao Ti, “Normally it won’t ring, but if you call my name while shaking it, it will make a sound. Hearing the bell, I will come to help you, but you have only three chances; after those, it will shatter.”
Tao Ti groggily opened her eyes and saw the Horse-Faced Bell in the palm of her hand while she was rubbing her eyes.
Grandfather had already been reincarnated, and he had forgotten himself…
Her nose soured, and she gripped the bell tightly, then suddenly, something occurred to her. She blinked blankly, and whispered with a tilted head, “He seemed to have not told me his name.”
There was a knock at the door, accompanied by Hua Jinyan’s voice, “Little Taotie, are you awake?”
Tao Ti didn’t even put on her shoes before opening the door.
Seeing her blushing sleepy face, still imprinted with the marks of her hand, Hua Jinyan’s lips slightly curved upward.
Tao Ti pulled him inside, hurriedly closed the door, and mysteriously brought out the Horse-Faced Bell.
Tao Ti vividly described to her friend the scenes she saw in her dream, including her new friend, the Horse-Faced Man.
“He didn’t tell me his name, how can I call his name while ringing the bell?”
“Horse-Faced Rakshasa, or… Horse-Faced Vidyaraja,” Hua Jinyan frowned. “You can try both.”
“But I only have three chances, what if it works, wouldn’t that waste one of the chances?”
