Hearing that familiar voice that brought her joy, Lan Yao's slightly agitated mood calmed down considerably.
She curled the corners of her lips into a smile and looked up at the thin, bony girl standing not far from her.
"So it was you. I never expected you to be so persistent with me. How should I repay you?"
Feeling Lan Yao's gaze, Hua Niu instinctively backed away. For some reason, she suddenly felt that this man's gaze was terrifying.
In her mind, she frantically asked Haijiao, "Haijiao, Haijiao, damn it, can you feel it? This man is dangerous! He's really dangerous, we'd better run away quickly."
The sea dragon cursed under its breath, "Damn it. What kind of monster is he? How come even such a powerful demon couldn't kill him?"
According to the plan of the sea dragon, as long as it and Hua Niu waited here, they would surely catch one or more people who had been seriously injured by the great monster.
When the time comes, it will rush up and devour the luck of that group of people, and then it, the sea dragon, will transform from a dragon into a dragon... When it ascends to heaven, it will devour Hua Niu and take back the treasures from its hiding place.
Everything was planned perfectly.
But then, an unexpected incident occurred.
Hua Niu was also furious: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? What do we do now? Let's just run away."
The sea dragon was unwilling to give up: "Let's try again, just one last time. Anyway, I have the ability to carry you away, so you can rest assured."
Hua Niu, who had already been thoroughly beaten up once: ...
This time, she didn't listen to Haijiao; she didn't believe his nonsense.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.
Hua Niu gave Lan Yao an awkward yet polite smile: "Brother, I'm so sorry, I mistook you for someone else, I'll leave now."
Lan Yao tilted her head, a half-smile playing on her lips: "You've mistaken me for someone else? But why do I feel like you've been waiting for me on purpose?"
As Hua Niu backed away, she shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "No, no, absolutely not. I just mistook you for someone else, brother. Um, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Haijiao roared angrily in Hua Niu's mind: "Damn you, you country bumpkin, I told you to go, I told you to go, you know? How dare you disobey my orders and try to run away? Country bumpkin, don't blame me for being impolite."
Hua Niu spat, "You damned sea worm, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to use me as cannon fodder? Don't even think about it."
Haijiao: "How could I possibly use you as cannon fodder? Don't you know that I can't live without you?"
Hua Niu: "Anyway, I don't care. I just want to get away from this horrible man. I don't want to die like this without knowing why. Besides, as long as we're alive, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Haijiao gritted his teeth and, under Hua Niu's persuasion, reluctantly agreed.
Lan Yao smiled and said, "What interesting things are you talking about? I'd love to know too."
Hua Niu and Hai Jiao were startled. Without thinking, Hua Niu sprayed a lot of sea mist at Lan Yao, attempting to escape in this way.
However, before she could even lift her foot, Hua Niu discovered that she couldn't move her feet, and she cried out in terror for the sea dragon.
"Sea dragon, sea dragon, I, I can't move."
The sea dragon was horrified to discover that it, too, could not move, and could not even open its mouth to reply.
"Oh dear," Lan Yao said apologetically, as if she had just realized it. "What should we do? I think I accidentally froze you all. What should we do?"
Hua Niu's mind went blank. She didn't want to die, she didn't want to die, she absolutely didn't want to die.
She barely survived; she's still young and has a bright future ahead of her.
Hua Niu burst into tears instantly, sincerely and urgently apologizing: "Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me go. I don't want to die."
Lan Yao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't kill people."
It's not the apocalypse yet, and she's such a kind person, how could she just do things like fighting and killing?
Hua Niu let out a breath and relaxed. She continued to plead, "Then brother, please, please let me go. I promise I will never, ever appear in front of you again."
"That won't do," Lan Yao refused with a smile. "I'm a good person, how can I not repay a debt of gratitude? So, you can give me your luck and that sea worm to play with."
Hua Niu screamed in refusal: "No! Absolutely not!"
Lan Yao ignored her and directly used her mental power to manipulate Hua Niu's luck.
Hua Niu could clearly feel that Lan Yao was draining her luck away.
Her head was throbbing, her whole body was shaking, and she began to struggle violently.
The sea dragon was terrified!
It never expected that Lan Yao was so powerful that he could so easily steal someone else's luck.
With a grit of its teeth and a stomp of its foot, it abandoned Hua Niu and ran away on its own.
Lan Yao scoffed, "Little bug, it seems you didn't hear what I just said."
Haijiao trembled and subconsciously begged for mercy: "I, I, I was wrong. I shouldn't have targeted you. Can you please let me go?"
"I can spare a person, but you're just an insect. Do you think I'd spare you?"
Lan Yao tried to use her mental power to capture the sea dragon, but the sea dragon struggled desperately to avoid being caught.
Finally, realizing it couldn't escape the man, the sea dragon simply chose to self-destruct, and...
Unfortunately, as soon as it had this thought, Lan Yao simply threw it into the space.
But the next second, Lan Yao sensed a spatial fluctuation, and she cried out in alarm.
She had already disappeared from the spot, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in the storage area at the bottom of a warship's hold.
The place where the supplies were stored was a bit dark, and the air quality wasn't very good either; there was a fishy smell, a musty smell, and other strange odors.
Lan Yao took out an air-purifying mask and put it on. She could hear footsteps and voices coming from it.
"Why haven't those damned Chinese dwarfs left yet?"
"General Sakamoto said that in order to avoid being discovered by the Chinese, we need to pretend to leave in a moment."
Is that all?
"Of course not. We need to come back disguised as Chinese fishermen."
"Damn, this is really troublesome."
"There's no other way, little savage. You need to know that we need to do this in secret."
Hearing the delicate, cherry-scented Mandarin, Lan Yao raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with disdain and malice.
"What Xiaoyingzi wants is definitely a treasure. How could someone as kind as me let them have it? That's impossible."
At the same time, Gu Zixiao, who had just subdued the Taoist, noticed that the Taoist had suddenly aged and looked different. His life and fortune were rapidly fading away, and in one direction.
The Taoist priest chuckled softly: "Having borne my fortune and life, you will surely bear my curse! Hehehe, I'm looking forward to seeing you suffer a fate worse than death, but alas..."
He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
