Chapter 271: Chapter 271 The Little Girl Just Looks Obedient Chapter 271: Chapter 271 The Little Girl Just Looks Obedient Today was a Saturday, and Ma Ming arrived early, leaving Hua Jinyan attending the class alone, totally bored.
Ma Ming knocked on the table, “Don’t be impatient.”
“I don’t want to learn this.”
“Without the Rainbow Relic, you would be forced to hide in a temple for your life. Do you want to live your life as a coward?”
“Since that’s the case, learn well. Unforeseen events happen,” Ma Ming lowered his eyes, “Even powerful deities can fall. You can’t be sure that the Rainbow Relic will always be there to protect you.”
Hua Jinyan was silent for a long while before responding, “I will learn well.”
Hearing a noise outside, Ma Ming opened the door and saw that Little Taotie had already returned, with Kitty gleefully frolicking at her feet.
Ma Ming sniffed a familiar scent in the air and slightly narrowed his eyes.
Seeing Little Taotie return, Hua Jinyan couldn’t wait and ran over to her. He inspected her thoroughly from head to toe and finally sighed, saying in a grown-up manner, “You’ve lost weight, you need to eat more.”
Little Taotie smiled sweetly, “Then when are we going to catch the Evil Spirit?”
Hua Jinyan thought for a moment, “Tonight.”
Little Taotie cheered, hugging Kitty and kissed it, “Little Lion, I’m so happy!”
Ma Ming walked over to Little Taotie, the scent becoming stronger.
“Little Taotie, did you meet someone outside who wants to be your brother?”
Little Taotie tilted her head, “During filming, there was a brother in the play who was very nice to me, a really good brother, but alas… he was only in the play.”
“Not necessarily,” Ma Ming took a red cloth bag from his pocket and handed it over, squinting into the distance, “Go find him tomorrow, give this to him, and maybe you can save him from a disaster.”
“I’ll go with you,” Hua Jinyan seemed to catch the deeper meaning and held Little Taotie’s hand.
Little Taotie nodded, “Sure, I was planning to take the strawberry cupcakes I made to visit the set anyway, to thank them for their care!”
Ma Ming patted her head and laughed, “You’re quite sensible.”
Little Taotie lifted her little chin, somewhat proudly, “I’ll be even more sensible and well-behaved in the future!”
Kitty in her arms cooperated by lifting its little chin and meowed, as if agreeing with its little master.
Ma Ming was amused by the duo, “Go wash your face, you’re dirty as a little spotted cat. Come to class afterwards, and since you’re back just in time, don’t miss a class.”
Her little face instantly fell.
Normally she was quite a keen learner, but when it came to studying mysticism, she couldn’t help but want to play truant, wishing she could live on the set forever and never come back to class.
Thinking about the obscure and difficult content, her big eyes started to look listless, and in a whimpering voice, she complained, “I’m so tired, I want to wash up and sleep.”
“You were all lively just now, playing with Kitty. How come you feel sleepy as soon as it’s time for class?” Ma Ming would not indulge her, tapping her forehead, “You can’t skip class. Wash your face to refresh yourself, then come to class!”
Little Taotie looked pitiful, mist forming in her big eyes.
Little Taotie’s eyes were moist, the corners of her eyes red as she whimpered, “I’m sleepy~”
Ma Ming coughed dryly, utterly spineless, “Then… you can only sleep for half an hour.”
Little Taotie cheered, seemingly realizing she had suddenly become energetic, then quickly feigned exhaustion and yawned, “I’m off to sleep!”
Ma Ming rubbed his temples.
He had long seen through the little girl; she just looked obedient!
