Xiangxiang felt completely numb and pulled out a small bottle from her handbag, guzzling down a large gulp.
Mo Haihao frowned, "Is the concentration high?"
Emboldened by the drink, a rosy flush climbed Xiangxiang’s cheeks as she smiled flirtatiously, "Yes."
Little Taotie’s little fists were itching to move.
She widened her eyes to discern clearly whether those white fluttering things were Ghosts or Evil Spirits!
In Little Taotie’s eyes, they immediately transformed into countless pieces of chocolate floating around!
Little Taotie swallowed her saliva, feeling a little tempted.
Hua Jinyan noticed the golden light on her clenched fists and quickly grabbed her fists to cover the light.
Little Taotie looked at him puzzled, and Hua Jinyan shook his head slightly, "You can’t eat chocolate yet."
"Why?" Little Taotie’s eyes instantly lost their light.
Hua Jinyan almost let her go, but quickly regained his composure, fumbled in his pocket, and fed her a piece of chocolate.
Little Taotie’s cheeks bulged out and, after savoring for a moment, her eyes curved in a smile, "Delicious!"
"If you want chocolate, I have more here. Just be patient for a while," Hua Jinyan whispering into her ear. "We’re on a mission, and until we find those missing children, we can’t alarm anyone unnecessarily."
Tickled by his breath, Little Taotie giggled with the chocolate in her mouth and obediently nodded, "Okay."
Mo Haihao let out a sigh of relief, worried that Little Taotie would rush out carelessly. Seeing that she was only interested in eating chocolate and not looking at the Ghosts anymore, he felt relieved.
As they reached the depths of the cave, countless black bats flew out, with something dripping from their bodies.
As they flew over their heads, the droplets inevitably fell on them.
From the scent, Xiangxiang precisely identified it as the smell of blood!
Mo Haihao touched the blood that had dripped onto his shoulder, pinching it between his index finger and thumb, he brought it to his nose. His face immediately darkened.
Xiangxiang and Mo Haihao exchanged a look, confirming the answer—human blood.
Little Taotie saw her pretty sports shirt, white with pink stripes, getting stained with drops of red and puffed up her cheeks in anger.
Hua Jinyan fed her another piece of chocolate, and Little Taotie quieted down, her beautiful eyes blinking up at him.
Hua Jinyan: "...What do you want to say?"
Little Taotie, with chocolate in her mouth, mumbled unclearly, "Do you have more?"
"Whenever I get angry, you’ll feed me?"
Little Taotie wondered if she should pretend to be angry.
Seeing through her intentions, Hua Jinyan sighed, "You don’t need to get angry. I’ll give you whatever you want."
With that, he transferred all the chocolate from his pocket to hers.
Her pocket now full, Little Taotie’s eyes curved into a smile, like a kitten that had stolen fish, soft and cute as she covered her mouth and giggled.
The Ghosts had already frightened away many people. Those people would rush back to Stone Gate, banging on it forcefully, yelling and showing expressions of terror and fear.
And human terror and fear were the best sustenance, enabling them to become more corporeal.
An unfortunate Ghost with a ruined face from her past life drifted in front of Little Taotie, her long hair disheveled, as if she wanted to press her bloodied, indistinguishable face against Little Taotie’s.
Little Taotie took a step back with distaste, "You’re ruining my look."
That’s not right! Shouldn’t she be scared? How could she be so calm? There’s no fear or terror!
The Ghost pulled her most ferocious face, trying to make Little Taotie cry from fright.
