Immediately afterwards, Taikubo Fuuya heard Nan Yuanman continue, "It's fine if you want to take me as your disciple! But since we've become master and disciple, it's reasonable for a disciple to ask for his master's puppet, isn't it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yuanman recalled the small coffin that was knocking away puppets everywhere. She opened the coffin lid, aimed it at the puppet that was very close to her, and shouted, "Retract!"
The puppet that they couldn't put away just now was instantly swallowed up by the small coffin!
Nan Yuanman's face lit up with joy. It was a success!
From the moment the large number of puppets appeared, Nan Yuanman thought of taking all the puppets that the wedding dress ghost controlled into the small coffin, just like he had done when dealing with her in the mirror world, for his own use.
No matter how she tried, she couldn't take the puppets in.
Xiao Hong told her that these puppets were still alive, meaning they were still human beings!
A living person cannot be 'eaten' by it.
To take all these living people away, we need to establish a closer causal relationship with the people who created them.
When Nanman was dragged out by her grandfather, her little head was still frantically thinking about how to create a closer connection with Taikubo Fuya. Could she just kill her?
Unexpectedly, Fuuya Okubo handed over the opportunity himself!
That's wonderful!
Taikubo Fuuya's smile faltered, and her gaze fell with interest on the small, half-red and half-black coffin in Nan Yuanman's hand. A look of interest appeared in her eyes: "My good disciple, this magic artifact of yours looks really good."
"Since you're becoming my disciple, according to the customs of your Xia Kingdom, shouldn't there be a formal apprenticeship ceremony? How about you give this magical artifact to your master?"
Nan Yuanman's eyes widened: "Isn't the apprenticeship ceremony supposed to be about the master giving a gift to the disciple? How did it turn into the disciple giving a gift to the master?!"
"Bad master, don't go against the Heavenly Stems."
While she was negotiating with Taikubo Fuya, she didn't make Xiao Hong stop collecting the puppets. With her free hands each holding a large handful of Thunderfire Talismans, she threw them without hesitation onto the puppets that attacked her from the side and behind.
The smile on Taikubo Fuuya's face faded even more: "Fine, if you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself."
She pulled down sharply with her slender, fair hands, and four puppets emerged from behind her with a rumble. They were dressed in ancient armor, still wearing demon masks, tall and burly, and wielded axes, samurai swords, or longswords.
Nan Yuanman angrily rebuked her: "You're an adult, don't you feel ashamed to take things from a child?"
"I don't think so." Taikubo Fuuya chuckled and pointed at her: "Grab her."
The four puppets shot straight towards Nan Yuanman like arrows released from a bow.
Upon first meeting them, Nan Yuanman sensed that these four puppets were different from the puppets around her that resembled wooden dolls. The oppressive feeling they brought her was stronger, and their combat power was also greater.
Nan Yuanman's heart tightened, and he cried out for Xiao Hong to save him. Xiao Hong appeared in a flash, landed and grew larger, and swallowed the axe puppet that was wielding an axe and chopping at Nan Yuanman!
The calm expression on Taikubo Fuuya's face finally shattered, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Ara-Tama!"
What kind of magical artifact is this?! It even devoured the puppet she created, whose strength rivaled that of a Great Onmyoji!
"You scared me to death." Nan Yuanman patted her chubby little chest with her hands, gave Taikubo Fengya an adorable yet infuriating smile, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Master, for sending me this powerful puppet!"
Taikubo Fuuya's face darkened, and he finally dropped his dismissive attitude: "I underestimated you."
She instinctively wanted to summon more puppets, but a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the backyard of the shrine behind her.
When Taikubo Fuuya turned his head sharply, he saw that the shrine's accommodation area was engulfed in flames, with thick black mist drifting out from it.
Taikubo Fumiya laughed angrily, "Fine! Very well!"
She suppressed the surging anger in her heart and quickly weighed the pros and cons. She didn't know how many helpers this child might have, and the strange coffin artifact in her hand was a perfect counter to her puppet.
If we continue to entangle ourselves with her, we'll probably end up getting ourselves into trouble here.
As long as she survives, she can always find a way to make a comeback; she must get away first!
Taikubo Fuuya slowly turned her head and looked deeply at Nan Yuanman: "Kid, I'll remember this debt."
After saying that, she decisively ran to the side, not forgetting to say a threat: "I'll get my revenge!"
Nan Yuanman hurriedly said, "Grandpa! Stop her! Don't let her escape!"
Like a sword drawn from its sheath, Old Master Nan chased after the direction in which Taikubo Fuya had fled.
Just as he was about to catch up with Taikubo Fuya, a crisp sound suddenly came from the roof beam. The wood hanging above suddenly loosened and crashed heavily towards Old Master Nan.
Grandpa Nan dodged quickly, then chased after him again, stepping on the logs.
Along the way, there were many strange and unusual obstacles. Sometimes wasps would suddenly appear and block the way, sometimes countless large stones would suddenly appear on the ground, sometimes cherry blossom branches would suddenly fall, and sometimes Grandpa Nan would suddenly trip over his own feet and fall!
This woman's luck is outrageous!
As Okubo Fuuya entered the cherry blossom grove, she turned and gave Old Master Nan a mocking look, then threw something on the ground. A thick white mist rose up and enveloped her body.
When the white mist dissipated, the cherry blossom grove was completely deserted.
Old Master Nan's face darkened, and he couldn't help but swear.
Nan Yuanman came running over with his short legs and patted Grandpa Nan's thigh to comfort him: "Grandpa Xuanqingzi said that people who know the art of stealing luck have also stolen a lot of other people's luck. It's normal that we can't catch her for the time being."
After all, you can't compete with a 'lucky koi' in terms of luck, right?
Grandpa Nan nodded, then realized something, looked down at Nan Yuanman, and asked, word by word, "Xuan Qingzi, Grandpa?"
How do you know him?
"I don't know him." Nan Yuanman honestly shook her head. Before Grandpa Nan could breathe a sigh of relief, she said, "Dad knows him."
He also told me to go to the Sanqing Temple and that he would take me as his disciple.
Old Master Nan: "Bullshit! No, I can't go!"
Xuan Qingzi is a shameless old schemer!
Who knows what kind of adorable, chubby, and round baby will be raised in his hands!
No! Absolutely no!
Nan Yuanman nodded seriously, her chubby cheeks bouncing up and down with her movements: "I rejected him! I said I want to be a coffin maker in the future!"
Grandpa Nan gently patted the top of her head with great satisfaction.
Nan Yuanman smiled, her eyes crinkling. She stood on tiptoe and nudged her head hard against Old Master Nan's palm, then rubbed against it.
After Xiao Hong diligently collected all the visible puppets, Nan Yuanman pulled out a copper coin sword from his small satchel and said in a serious manner, "I never expected my master to be so vicious and stingy. Today, I will sever all ties with her and disown her!"
With a swift motion, she chopped off the loose threads that the puppet had torn from her clothes.
In a dimension unseen by ordinary people, a causal thread connecting her and Taikubo Fuuya snapped.
After doing all this, Nan Yuanman carried Grandpa Nan and walked towards the shrine gate. She wanted to pick up her father first, and then go find her second brother.
As soon as the door opened, a ferocious army of puppets swarmed in.
