The crowd erupted in cheers.
Linghu Lan patted the statue.
"Goodbye, I'm leaving! If I don't leave now, you'll probably be razed to the ground. I'll come back to find you!"
The statue swayed three more times.
The cheers from the crowd grew even louder.
Linghu Lan slid down the statue at lightning speed.
As she glided through the air, Linghu Lan saw...
The statue moved!
It wasn't a shaking that caused it to be pushed over, but rather the entire statue seemed to awaken like a towering giant.
It reached out and caught Linghu Lan.
He looked down at the crowd at his feet, as if they were ants, and stepped on them.
The crowd screamed and scattered.
"Holy crap, the statue has come to life!"
"Run! This statue is evil!"
"Ah, help! Help me!"
Xu Yuan rolled several times to avoid the statue's enormous foot.
She watched all this strange happening, hoping that Linghu Lan would fall from the statue so she could deliver a fatal blow!
only……
The statue then opened its enormous palm, bent down, and scooped up Linghu Lan, who was about to fall, and caught her in its palm.
At that moment, the feeling of making a wish felt like I'd been screwed over.
Why?
Why is this statue helping her?
A mix of bitterness, sadness, and jealousy made her chest heave.
She could only watch helplessly as the statue led Linghu Lan away into the distance, her fists clenched tightly.
The statue walked very fast, quickly leaving everyone far behind.
Linghu Lan carefully held onto the statue's fingers, stood up from its grasp, and examined the statue's face closely.
The statue's face remained expressionless, yet Linghu Lan sensed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.
soon……
She knew she was right.
Because the statue's other hand suddenly covered her, pressing her into its palm.
Linghu Lan: "..."
wipe!
She used to catch crickets this way when she was a child; she would grab them with both hands, and the crickets wouldn't be able to escape.
"Put me down!"
"hehe!"
The statue did not speak, but the meaning of "hehe" was clearly transmitted to Linghu Lan's mind.
Linghu Lan was furious.
I never expected you to be like this, Wei Tang! You're actually quite good at it!
Linghu Lan resolutely scratched the palm of the statue.
The statue was tickled and twitched.
Linghu Lan felt its face turn red again, and then, the familiar scene repeated itself.
The statue bent its enormous fingers and firmly flicked her forehead!
This sudden movement knocked Linghu Lan unconscious; she closed her eyes and passed out!
Holy crap!
I'll remember this grudge. You'd better stay a stone statue for the rest of your life, or I'll cut off your little ding-ding and count the rings!
...
When Linghu Lan woke up.
Night had fallen.
The evening stars on Mysterious Island were exceptionally bright.
For a moment she almost forgot where she was. She looked up and saw the statue not far away.
Linghu Lan touched her forehead. Damn! It really hurts; it's all swollen from being bounced.
Sure enough, it's the same recipe, the same familiar taste, and the same bouncy texture I remember!
She glared at the statue, walked up to it, and asked, "What's your name?"
The statue turned its head and looked at her silently. It didn't say anything, but its voice clearly reached Linghu Lan's mind.
"Cangwu!"
The desolate city is bathed in the pale moonlight over the green mountains, and ancient trees are lost in the clouds of Cangwu.
"My name is... Mo Yin!"
"Um!"
"Why are you a statue?"
"How can you be a human being?"
Linghu Lan: "..."
Damn, is that even an answer?
I applaud your cleverness!
