"Oh…"
Hu Shulan raised her right leg and attacked Song Ning's left hand that was holding the whip, forcing her to let go.
"Auntie Lan...it's dusty here, and I'm allergic to dust..."
Seeing that her trick didn't work, Song Ning immediately started to act like a spoiled brat, "You can't bear to see me get a bump on my head, right?"
"Oh…"
Hu Shulan gave a forced smile and snorted, "Auntie Lan has some special medicine. I guarantee you'll be fine!"
"Come in quickly!"
Hu Shulan followed Song Ning and walked straight through the gate.
The inside of the city wall is even more dilapidated than the outside, with weeds growing so thickly on the path that it's impossible to walk on it.
"Don't you know how to make paper figures? It's time to stretch your muscles..."
Hu Shulan had learned her lesson after bickering with Song Ning for so long that she was determined not to take any action.
Song Ning had no choice but to use her hands to form a seal and summon small paper figures, controlling them to start clearing the weeds and making a path.
"Is my sister also a ghost? Are these little paper figures my sister's burial objects?"
The sudden sound of a child's voice startled Song Ning and Hu Shulan.
Just now, neither of them detected any sign of living beings in this dilapidated temple.
This is also the reason why they made such a big fuss to clear the weeds.
How come a little girl suddenly appeared?
The little girl was short, and the grass in the yard was much taller than her.
She struggled to pull away the weeds in front of her, completely exposing herself to Song Ning and Hu Shulan.
"Where did this little monster come from? Why can't I tell what its original form is?"
Hu Shulan crossed her arms and glanced at Song Ning, "Did you see it?"
Song Ning shook her head honestly. The little girl in front of her was neither human nor ghost, neither demon nor monster. She couldn't tell anything about her.
The child is not fully grown yet, so her face is not important. Song Ning turned her gaze to the top of the little girl's head.
"Eh...strange..."
The little girl has no luck!
This was the first time Song Ning encountered such a situation. Dead people have no luck.
The little girl in front of me is actually a living person, how strange!
"Xiaoxue is not a little monster! Xiaoxue is a human!"
The little girl looked at Hu Shulan with tears in her eyes and a stubborn expression, "Dad said Xiaoxue is just sick. Once Xiaoxue recovers, everything will be fine..."
"You are bad people! You bully Xiaoxue too... wuwu..."
The little girl clenched her fists and looked at Song Ning and Hu Shulan angrily, "Xiaoxue doesn't want to play with you anymore!"
Song Ning walked forward a few steps, approached Hu Shulan and whispered:
"Auntie Lan, there must be something fishy about this little girl. We need to find a way to comfort her..."
Hu Shulan rolled her eyes. Is it worth saying something if there is something strange about the little girl?
It would be strange if there was nothing strange about her looking like this!
"Just sit there! I don't know how to coax a child!"
Song Ning's expression froze. If she knew how to coax a child, would she have to go to Hu Shulan and say these words?
She just has "fear of children", so she uses all kinds of methods to coax Hu Shulan and the children!
"I don't know how either!"
Song Ning looked at Hu Shulan with a sad face. The latter turned her head and left Song Ning with the back of her head.
Seeing that the little girl wanted to retreat after saying these words, Song Ning gritted her teeth, took a few steps forward and squatted in front of the little girl.
"Is your name Xiaoxue? You really live up to your name..."
Song Ning had a stiff face and a dry smile on her face. That smile looked awkward no matter how you looked at it, just like that of a wolf grandmother.
The little girl took a few steps back cautiously, staring at Song Ning with her gray pupils, looking extremely weird.
An ordinary person would have been frightened by this situation, but Song Ning accepted Liang Tuo.
She is not afraid of weird things, but she is afraid of children crying!
That kind of devilish sound that pierces the ears makes people wish they could die right where they are.
After being looked at by the little girl like this, Song Ning's expression actually relaxed a lot.
"My name is Song Ning, and I call her Aunt Lan."
Song Ning pointed at Hu Shulan, "You can call me Sister Song Ning and call her Granny Lan..."
"She said you were a little monster, but she didn't mean any harm..."
"Her original form was a fox, and from the look of you, I think you're also a little monster."
"Fox?"
The little girl turned to Hu Shulan with empty eyes, "A monster?"
She had heard her father say that there were great monsters in this world, but she had never seen one.
Dad also said that monsters eat children's breasts, and told her to stay away from them if she saw one.
But she didn't sense any ill will from the two people in front of her...
Xiaoxue pinched the talisman her father left for her in her hand and pressed it hard.
Regardless of whether the person in front of you is a monster or not, let dad come back and take a look!
Song Ning's eyes swept across the little girl's right hand.
"Do you want to see it?"
Song Ning winked at the little girl.
Come to think of it, she has never seen the prototype of Hu Shulan. She wonders if she can take advantage of this opportunity to see it for once!
"May I?"
When Xiaoxue heard Song Ning say that Hu Shulan was a fox, an excited expression immediately appeared on her face.
She looked at Hu Shulan nervously, fearing that she would be rejected.
"Auntie Lan, please help me make a prototype!"
"Look how much Xiaoxue is looking forward to it..."
"don't want!"
Hu Shulan refused. She hadn't transformed into her original form for decades and felt quite comfortable being a human.
Besides, he could transform into his original form in front of anyone except this little girl.
Let this little girl see her true form. Who knows how she will mock her in the future!
You wish!
She would never give that little girl a chance!
Hu Shulan pointed at Song Ning angrily. Song Ning clasped her hands together and looked at her with a pleading look.
"Auntie Lan..."
Song Ning's eyes flickered, "I'll ask Uncle Yu to make you his specialty, Western pastries, for a few months..."
"make a deal!"
Hu Shulan gritted her teeth and fought for Western pastry!
After Hu Shulan finished speaking, her body quickly shrank and turned into a fox.
The fox's entire body was snow-white, except for the tip of its tail which was black. It was extremely beautiful.
It bared its teeth and claws at Song Ning, its expression as playful as it could be.
However, the fox ignored its own size. It was only the size of a house cat and did not look intimidating at all. Instead, it looked cute...
Song Ning is also a hidden fur addict and has no resistance to these furry species.
She picked up the fox, called Xiaoxue and started beating it until the fox's flesh was completely blown to pieces. Only then did she stop.
When the fox transformed into Hu Shulan again, her hair was loose and her eyes were the shape of mosquito coils.
Song Ning felt guilty for two seconds, and then enthusiastically shared the desserts in her bag with Xiaoxue.
"Sister Song Ning, what is this black thing? It's so delicious!"
Xiaoxue leaned on Song Ning, holding a piece of chocolate, and asked Song Ning excitedly.
"Xiaoxue, can you stay with Daddy?"
"Dad hasn't had a full meal since last night...it's all because of Xiaoxue's illness..."
As the little girl was talking, her tears began to fall like beads.
This child is so sensible that it makes people feel sad. Song Ning's heart softened all of a sudden.
If all the children in the world were as well-behaved and sensible as Xiaoxue, she thought her "childophobia" would definitely heal itself without any medicine.
"Who are you! Let Xiaoxue go..."
Suddenly, an angry shout arose, followed by dozens of talismans flying towards Song Ning.
