Chapter 276: Chapter 276 Ancient Costume Red-Dressed Vengeful Spirit Sister Chapter 276: Chapter 276 Ancient Costume Red-Dressed Vengeful Spirit Sister Little Taotie, preparing to pounce like a hungry tiger, paused and looked blankly at the Red Garment Ah Piao.
After chasing away the Evil Spirits, Red Garment Ah Piao didn’t attempt to hog all the spoils. Instead, she quietly stayed beside the two little figures.
Hua Jinyan had originally thought that she, like the Ghost King they had encountered before, wanted to get rid of the Evil Spirits to claim the prize for herself. Yet, to his surprise, she acted more like a protector.
The behavior of Red Garment Ah Piao was like driving away the Evil Spirits and then guarding the two of them, preventing the Evil Spirits from approaching again.
Hua Jinyan and Little Taotie exchanged glances and both could tell she was not an Evil Spirit, but seemed to be a rather formidable vengeful spirit.
A vengeful spirit capable of scaring off a group of Evil Spirits was quite impressive, since vengeful spirits were generally much weaker than Evil Spirits.
This indicated… deep-seated resentment!
Or perhaps towering vengeful thoughts!
Yet, this resentment and vengeful thoughts didn’t turn into the Evil Thoughts that would cause her to harm others. Therefore, she could still retain her reasoning and remained merely a vengeful spirit, unlike Yinuo they encountered before, who developed the desire to kill and became an Evil Spirit.
“Red-dressed Sister, are you protecting us?” Little Taotie tilted his head, his big eyes sparkling brightly.
Red Garment Ah Piao froze, and her muddied eyes started to clear up. She looked at the two little ones in front of her and asked in astonishment, “You… can see me?”
She thought these two little ones were just like the kids who came to explore the abandoned factory before, merely venturing for exploration and fun.
One of the children had quite a noteworthy past life, which made the Evil Spirits think of devouring him, and that’s why she stepped in to chase those Evil Spirits away. She never expected that these two little ones could actually see her.
It had been a long time since she had encountered someone who could see her.
“Yes, we can all see you!” Little Taotie pointed to his eyes with a finger, then pointed at Red Garment Ah Piao, giggling, “Your red clothes are really pretty, like the beautiful clothes the pretty sisters in the crew wear when I shoot films. They say this is called ancient costume.”
Red Garment Ah Piao looked at the child’s cute and milky voice, gently curving her lips into a smile.
Little Taotie’s eyes lit up, and he reached out with his soft, pale fingers to point at Red Garment Ah Piao’s dimple and then at his own, shyly revealing a smile, with his little dimple shallowly indented.
“Red-dressed Sister, look, we both have dimples!”
Red Garment Ah Piao hadn’t talked to anyone for a long time, let alone such an adorable child. Her voice became softer and gentler, “Indeed, it’s fate. What’s your name?”
“I’m Tao Ti! But, everyone likes to call me Little Taotie!” Little Taotie patted his belly, grinning, “Because I eat a lot!”
“I also had a big appetite in my life. I disguised myself as a man and went to the battlefield, and my appetite was bigger than any man’s!”
“Wow!” Little Taotie’s eyes shined brightly, filled with sparkling stars, “Red-dressed Sister, you’ve been on the battlefield; that’s so amazing!”
“That’s right! My appetite was bigger than a man’s, my strength was greater than a man’s, and my martial skills were better than a man’s! The enemy troops who died by my hand were countless. I was quite the notorious killing god!”
Hua Jinyan looked from one to the other and then at the sky, his lips twitching slightly.
Did they come here in the middle of the night just to chat with a ghost?
Fearing that waiting too long might attract the Ghost King and other powerful spirits, he took out the sandalwood box and put on the Rainbow Relic Beads Bracelet.
At the moment when the transparent light reappeared, Red Garment Ah Piao trembled all over, retreating again and again and maintaining a distance from Hua Jinyan. Her eyes, however, suddenly filled with mist, staring vaguely at the Rainbow Relic Beads.
