Chapter 279: Chapter 279: May You Never Understand Chapter 279: Chapter 279: May You Never Understand “…” Red Garment Ah Piao paused briefly before shaking her head, “Although you are adorable, I can’t agree to your request.”
She looked at Hua Jinyan up and down with concern, fearful that something might happen to the child.
Hua Jinyan made eye contact with her, his expression calm.
“Does your stomach hurt?” Red Garment Ah Piao asked.
Hua Jinyan shook his head, “Little Taotie and I can eat it; it’s only delicious to us, there’s no harm.”
Little Taotie looked at Red Garment Ah Piao with hopeful eyes, trying to act charming once again.
She remembered how Little Lion used to ask for treats, always rolling on the ground and showing his tiny white belly.
Little Taotie looked at the ground, all dirty, and dismissed the idea of rolling on the ground.
She reached out and lifted her shirt, showing her own pale and tender belly, and pushed it forward towards Red Garment Ah Piao.
Red Garment Ah Piao: “…”
“Sister, rub my belly.” Little Taotie tilted her head and looked at her, her big eyes shining brightly.
Red Garment Ah Piao regarded her soft white belly and, if she wasn’t a ghost, she probably would’ve pinched it as it looked so soft.
Hua Jinyan quickly stepped forward and pulled down her shirt, helplessly saying, “It’s cool at night, and the wind could blow into your navel, you might catch a cold.”
Little Taotie hung her head down gloomily, “Little Lion showed its belly to me to pet when it was hungry, asked me for treats, and I always gave it some.”
Upon hearing the little girl’s words, Red Garment Ah Piao couldn’t help but burst out laughing, her laughter shaking like flower branches, “You really are funny!”
Little Taotie looked at her, feeling extremely aggrieved.
She had shown her belly to her to pet, not even getting any resentment, and yet she was laughed at!
Seeing the little girl’s sad eyes, Red Garment Ah Piao moved closer and asked, “How much do you want?”
“Can I really take as much as I want?” Little Taotie’s gloomy eyes suddenly brightened, filled with joy.
“That wouldn’t do, if I gave it all to you, I would become very weak, and the evil spirits would come for revenge.”
“How about just what was there before?” Little Taotie gestured with her hands.
“Okay.” Red Garment Ah Piao closed her eyes, and a greyish-black mist spread from her brow.
Little Taotie hurried to grab it, scooping and scooping, and a cherry-curd-flavored candy appeared in the palm of her hand.
Little Taotie “Aw” took a bite, stuffing the whole piece into her mouth, her eyes happily crescent-shaped, her little mouth moving juicily, the candy rolling from left to right, making her cheeks puff out a bit and her tiny dimples shallowly indent.
As she ate the candy, sweetness filled her mouth, and the sensation she exuded was also entirely sweet.
“Is it that delicious?” Red Garment Ah Piao asked with a light laugh.
Little Taotie nodded repeatedly, “Delicious!”
“Once you’ve finished, head back home, and don’t come here again,” Red Garment Ah Piao turned to leave.
Little Taotie hurriedly blocked her way, hesitating for a moment before asking, “Sister, don’t you want to be reincarnated?”
Red Garment Ah Piao fell silent.
Little Taotie took out a Horse-Faced Bell, “If sister wants to be reincarnated, I can summon Horse-Faced Vidyaraja, and Horse-Faced Vidyaraja will take you there!”
Red Garment Ah Piao sighed softly and shook her head, “I don’t want to be reincarnated.”
Little Taotie puzzled, “Why?”
Red Garment Ah Piao looked towards the dawn’s lightening sky, her voice distant, “There’s no point, no point at all…”
“I don’t understand,” Little Taotie said, looking at her with her clear and pure eyes.
“May you never understand, go home,” Red Garment Ah Piao said.
