"ah!"

A piercing scream rang in Xiao Yanbao's ears, startling the little girl so much that her body trembled uncontrollably.

Just a second before Ye Ming's magical attack was about to touch Xiao Yanbao, the dormitory supervisor behind her suddenly moved and blocked all the magical attacks for her.

The aunt's back was scalded by the fire magic released by Ye Ming, leaving a large area of ​​burn marks.

"Aunt!"

Xiao Yanbao realized what was happening and cried out in surprise. She quickly helped the dormitory supervisor, who was swaying and falling to the ground, her eyes filled with worry and heartache.

"Auntie, are you alright? Why didn't you move aside? Why did you protect me?"

As she spoke, the little boy's nose tingled, and he almost squeezed out a few golden tears.

The dormitory supervisor looked at her gently and said matter-of-factly:

"Because you are a kind child, it is Auntie's duty to protect every child."

This includes Ye Ming, who attacked her.

In her eyes, he was just a child, so she didn't hate Ye Ming at all.

"Auntie, you're so silly..."

The little boy's eyes welled up with tears, and he could no longer hold back the tears that streamed down his face.

The aunt must have loved the children in that dormitory building very much, which is why she was so persistent in guarding this place, guarding that stairwell, becoming a lonely ghost wandering outside the underworld.

She's so pitiful...

Xiao Yanbao stood up again, shielding the dormitory supervisor behind her, and pleaded with Ye Ming with innocent kindness:

"Ye Ming, can you please let this auntie go? Or, could you try a different approach to the problem? You don't necessarily have to get rid of her!"

Perhaps they could work together to persuade the aunt to let go of her obsession and allow her soul to return to the underworld.

However, Ye Ming frowned deeply, and his usually calm and composed face showed a rare look of seriousness.

"It's too late."

Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly again, a dangerous curve appearing at the naturally upturned corners of his eyes. He spoke softly:

"We have no choice but to eliminate her now, otherwise... you and I will both be in danger."

"Why..."

Before she could even utter the word "me," Xiao Yanbao felt a suffocating sensation in her throat, instantly silencing all the words she was about to say.

In an instant, the little girl's delicate and pretty face turned bright red.

She looked down slightly and saw a pair of skeletal hands gripping her neck tightly.

Little Yanbao grabbed those hands with her tiny hands, which had clearly defined knuckles, and tried to pry them apart, launching a self-rescue operation.

With great difficulty, she lifted her small face and saw the dormitory supervisor staring down at her intently. Her empty eyes had become dark holes, just like the evil spirit she had seen that day.

The dormitory supervisor's eyes were covered with spiderweb-like bluish-black marks, and her face was pale with a bluish tinge, making her look increasingly lifeless and completely devoid of any remaining warmth.

She seemed to have undergone a zombie transformation, becoming a vengeful and malevolent ghost.

It was sinister and terrifying, with a strange and eerie smile hanging at the corner of its mouth, as if it were about to swallow Xiao Yanbao whole at any moment.

The dormitory supervisor stared at Xiao Yanbao's face for a long time, then suddenly said excitedly:

"My child! My lovely child! Go back into your mother's womb, and be my child forever and ever, never to be separated from me!"

As she spoke, she gripped Xiao Yanbao's neck even tighter, as if she wanted to snap it.

At the same time, she opened her gaping maw, which had become like that of a wild beast, as if she wanted to swallow the human cub in front of her whole.

"Wow!"

The three-and-a-half-year-old toddler cried out in surprise, completely forgetting his pride, and hurriedly looked to Ye Ming, who seemed to be watching the show from the side, for help: "Ye Ming! What are you standing there for? Quickly use your magic to save me!"

Despite the critical situation, Ye Ming remained completely calm and asked in return, "Didn't you say I wasn't allowed to kill this auntie?"

At a time like this, he was still agonizing over this.

Xiao Yanbao was speechless for a moment, then shouted at Ye Ming, "I said you weren't allowed to destroy her, but I didn't say you weren't allowed to drive her away!"

Waaaaah...

The baby is going to be eaten by the auntie.

Hurry up and save the baby!

"You can have me save you if you want."

Ye Ming suddenly became arrogant, crossed his arms, and uttered two words with a righteous air: "Beg me!"

"Screw you!"

Xiao Yanbao couldn't help but swear. In her desperation, she suddenly remembered the ghost-catching tricks that the Grim Reaper had taught her.

With a thought, the black bracelet on her wrist suddenly lit up with a faint light and transformed into a long whip, which lashed down at the dormitory supervisor without the little boy's control.

"ah!"

Another piercing scream rang out, and the dormitory supervisor released her grip in pain. Xiao Yanbao immediately took off running towards Ye Ming's direction.

Then he raised his foot and kicked Ye Ming in the shin.

"You dared to attack me with magic! You dared to stand by and watch me die! I...I..."

Little Yanbao suddenly grabbed Ye Ming's arm, let out a loud howl, and took a big bite: "I'll bite you clean!"

She gave a vague threat.

Ye Ming groaned in pain, pressed one hand against Xiao Yanbao's forehead, and pushed her outward forcefully.

"Li Xinyan, are you a dog?!"

He actually remembered her full name, yet he deliberately pretended not to know her.
