Fang Ruotang rolled her eyes at Du Zhong, annoyed.

What's your rush?

But after saying that, he noticed that many people in the room were very impatient.

Because of the little girl's winning streak, many people have bet their entire fortunes, including the demon beast that just gave Fang Ruotang the answer.

"Damn it, what happened? It was swallowed whole! Is it that useless? I bet my entire fortune on her! Damn it!"

The male demon uttered a string of profanities.

He looked extremely irritable.

His demeanor was completely different from when he was instructing Fang Ruotang earlier.

Back then, he had a mocking look on his face, as if he were someone superior to others.

They looked at Fang Ruotang as if she were a country bumpkin.

There are quite a few people like this male demon. In an instant, Fang Ruotang heard the most profanities of her life, all directed at the little girl. And these people were the same ones who had just been looking at the little girl with joy and praising her.

This was the first time Fang Ruotang had witnessed the fickle nature of human beings so directly.

She fell silent, even somewhat speechless.

Rong Xing gently squeezed Fang Ruotang's hand, a hint of worry in his eyes.

He knew about species diversity from a young age. Some people, like him, have a pair of eyes and a mouth, but never do anything human.

These demons are even more extraordinary.

But he didn't want Fang Ruotang to be affected.

"This is a market driven by self-interest. They like little girls only because they can bring them benefits. Now that they can't, and they've even caused them to lose those benefits, so they've revealed their true nature. Their affection comes with conditions and a price tag."

Rong Xing's words of comfort to Fang Ruotang were heard by the surrounding demonic beasts, but no one had time to pay attention to them at that moment.

Most of them didn't even spare a glance, already deciding in their hearts that it was just another young lady from some major sect or aristocratic family trying to gain prestige! This was the first time I'd ever seen such a scene.

Fang Ruotang was not as shocked as Rong Xing had imagined. She smiled brightly at Rong Xing while replying in her mind.

This little girl won't lose!

As for Rong Xing's words of comfort, she simply ignored them; no matter what she said, they wouldn't listen.

There's a kind of vulnerability that your husband finds you to be.

This is the situation in Fang Ruotang's family.

To be honest, she's probably like a carnivorous little white rabbit right now, the kind that's quite ferocious.

But whether it was blindness or first impressions, the six men always thought she was still the same innocent little rabbit they knew.

At the slightest sign of trouble, I would anxiously watch her and offer explanations, fearing that she might be too emotionally fragile.

Yes.

She is very vulnerable.

So fragile that a Golden Core cultivator could be crushed with a single punch.

Yes! I believe you.

Rong Xing's resolute words drew a second glance from Fang Ruotang, who wanted to know if he was telling the truth. But apart from noticing the gentleness in his eyes, she couldn't discern anything else.

His face remained expressionless.

Rong Xing and Gu Yanjin usually have expressionless faces, looking distant and unapproachable, but when they stare at her, their gazes are different.

Just as their eyes met, the surrounding noise changed. Gradually, people noticed the difference, the shouting stopped, and exclamations arose.

"Ah! Look, it's not dead! The bloody cub isn't dead, is it? Look, the black python is starting to act strangely."

"He's not dead? That's great, I won't lose my spirit stones."

"Damn, that scared me to death! I bet all my spirit stones on the cub. If she really loses, I'd love to grind her to dust."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ruotang couldn't help but glance in the direction of the voice.

It was a monster with a pointed snout and monkey-like face. Looking at its ears, Fang Ruotang was silent for a moment, unable to guess what kind of monster it was, and directly asked the little mirror.

[...So it was a hyena, no wonder.]

Fang Ruotang had only heard of this group before, but seeing it with her own eyes this time made her already bad impression of them even worse.

Thankfully, it wasn't a stray dog.

After all, she was planning to take in a mongrel dog, and if a scoundrel were to emerge from her pack at this time, Fang Ruotang probably wouldn't take in the previous little yellow dog anymore.

She took Xiaohuang in because she was cute, and she wouldn't do anything to upset herself.

At this moment, Jin Ling, who was refining the spirit beast fruit at home, was completely unaware of her opportunity and almost disappeared because of a hyena.

"You knew this would happen all along?" Du Zhong asked Fang Ruotang in surprise.

Fang Ruotang nodded affirmatively.

Without saying it directly, the little mirror told her from the beginning that the little girl's true form was an ancient ferocious beast.

Taotie.

The black python swallowed the little girl whole, as if placing her on a pile of food. What could possibly happen to her? At most, she would go from eating standing up to eating lying down.

The little girl might actually be grateful to the black python at this moment, since its scales were like armor, and it wouldn't be so easy for her to break through from the outside.

"hiss……"

The black python roared to the sky, its massive body tumbling and thrashing in the center of the arena, its long body twisted into a pretzel.

It was tied in a knot.

The black python kept opening its mouth, hissing.

It was probably an attempt to spit the little girl out of his mouth.

Having finally reached the pile of grain, the little girl was not about to leave. She ate and drank to her heart's content, and with a quick tug, she grabbed the snake gall bladder and swallowed it.

The black python struggled for a few breaths before its massive head crashed heavily to the ground.

A cheer erupted in the arena, all applauding the little girl, even though she was still inside the snake's belly and hadn't come out yet.

But for these gamblers, it no longer matters.

As long as the black python dies, the little girl won't lose; it'll be a draw, and she won't lose everything.

Similarly, the demon who had bet on the black python hoped that the little girl was already dead, and ideally, that he and the black python would perish together.

Otherwise, all their bets would be swallowed up by the Colosseum.

Unfortunately, after the little girl had eaten and drunk her fill, she crawled out of the black python's mouth. Her whole body was covered in crimson blood, but the people who had bet on her and won cheered loudly.

Looking at the little girl's three-headed appearance, Fang Ruotang found it hard to associate her with the ancient ferocious beast, and even felt a surge of sympathy.

Are all ferocious beasts bad?

[Yes, I think so! After all, she's so hungry she'll even eat her own body.]

[She's such a cute little girl, it's just too cruel to see her in an arena like this.]

The little mirror paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly.

"My lord, are you saying that putting Taotie in the grain and oil shop and giving her the right to eat freely is too cruel for her?"

Fang Ruotang: ...

She's being narrow-minded.
