"Pay your sister!" After the crowd dispersed, Zhu Yi squatted down in front of the little girl, looking directly at her with eye level.
In front of outsiders, she pretends to be a kind older sister guiding her rebellious younger sister, creating an unusually harmonious scene.
The little tail, symbolizing good fortune, partially encircled itself, keeping a close watch on the little girl to prevent her from making any new moves.
It sensed something was wrong with the little girl, but then again, it didn't feel anything was wrong. For the first time, Zhao Cai began to doubt its own cultivation level.
Logically speaking, as a spirit beast in the incarnation stage, it should be able to see through this little girl! How could it not sense it?
The little girl's hair was neatly styled in two buns, and her big, bright eyes were watery, yet they revealed a maturity and anger that were incongruous with her age.
"What are you angry about? You bumped into me yourself, yet you're trying to extort money from me?" Zhu Yi wasn't too angry. She always felt that as a cultivator, she should be kinder to ordinary people without spiritual power.
Even if we don't talk about robbing the rich to help the poor, we should at least be more open-minded and tolerant.
Obviously, that's not what the little girl thought.
She puffed out her cheeks in anger, as if she had swallowed an egg, and wanted to punch Zhao Cai.
"Meow?" Zhao Cai nimbly and nimbly jumped off Zhu Yi's shoulder, looking angrily at the ignorant little brat.
Suddenly, a look of confusion appeared in its golden pupils.
"Something's not right with this little girl; she seems a bit sinister," Zhao Cai whispered to Zhu Yi.
"Let's wait and see. However, I have a question for Senior Sister Zhaocai."
Zhu Yi's gaze wandered, but when she looked at Zhao Cai, her eyes shone brighter than ever before.
Zhao Cai was puzzled, and before it could speak, it heard Zhu Yi say, "Let's try to resolve things amicably. If we really can't, I'll ask you to slap her and hook her belt..."
"Meow!" Zhao Cai looked at Zhu Yi with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Are you trying to be a pervert?" His big, round eyes, like lucky bells, widened.
"No, I'm afraid you'll scratch her, so I'll just grab her belt instead," Zhu Yi said, making it obvious.
Just as Zhu Yi was about to continue speaking to the little girl, everything went black before her eyes, and a purplish-black talisman landed on her smooth forehead.
The man acted swiftly, his shadow flashing past, giving Zhu Yi no chance to make a move.
But Zhu Yi still knew who was behind it.
The little girl opposite suddenly had several small bells strung with red thread in her hand, which jingled when she shook them, which looked rather strange.
In Zhu Yi's ear, the little girl's clear, bell-like voice had become somewhat rough and harsh. The little girl's cherry-red lips opened and closed, reciting a blessing that Zhu Yi didn't understand: "\\u0026#@..."
Although she couldn't understand it, it didn't stop Zhu Yi from being led by the nose by this kind of voice.
"Zhu Yi! Don't be fooled by appearances!" Zhao Cai was anxious; it was getting angry at itself for not recognizing the unease in its heart earlier.
Seeing that Zhu Yi had begun to follow the little girl's commands and walk little by little into a secluded alley, which looked gloomy and not a good place, and that the faint sound of crying and wailing could be heard in the wind.
Zhao Cai listened carefully, its two pointed little ears standing up straight and tense. It lay prone on the ground, its front paws finding familiar positions, and its hind paws beginning to gather strength, ready to attack at any moment.
The cold wind carried the sounds of wild beasts tearing apart their prey, and Zhao Cai could smell the chilling, putrid odor. At that moment, her little tail stood on end, each hair standing on end, and it was now as big as a feather duster.
Zhu Yi silently shed tears. She felt both sad and incredibly moved by Zhao Cai's efforts to protect her. Indeed, no barbecue skewer was ever made in vain. Zhu Yi vowed that once they returned safely, she would make even more barbecue for Zhao Cai!
"Come with me!" The little girl's voice was cold. The innocent and bright look in her eyes had disappeared. It was as if she had changed into a different colored dress. The playful, hand-sewn light pink dress had instantly turned into a luxurious, custom-made bellflower purple.
I dreamt once again of the days when I was a Shura puppet!
At first, she wasn't angry at all when the little girl bumped into her and wronged her.
I always felt like an older sister, and it wasn't appropriate for me to argue too much with a little kid.
Now, she wished she could kick the little girl out the next second and make her get as far away as possible!
The purple-black talisman burned out, and Zhu Yi could only mechanically obey the little girl's commands and follow her forward.
She felt as if she were trapped in some mysterious place, surrounded by a blurry, chaotic, and incredibly noisy environment. Zhu Yi was extremely annoyed when she heard a little girl's chirping voice, like a warbling oriole. It was such a beautiful voice that Zhu Yi couldn't help but want to stay with that voice a little longer and follow its guidance to do something...
"Meow!" Zhao Cai's voice became even sharper, abruptly interrupting Zhu Yi's train of thought.
It leaped up and ran quickly to the little girl opposite it. Its two front paws revealed sharp claws. First, it scratched with its left paw. The little girl didn't have time to dodge and four thin wounds were left on the back of her hand. Blood dripped down the back of her hand.
Regardless of her pain, Zhao Cai reached out with its right paw and tore the red string off the bell in her hand. The bell fell to the ground one after the other. Finally, Zhao Cai turned around, pushed off with all its might with its two hind paws, and jumped out of the little girl's arms, landing steadily on the ground. It stood in front of Zhu Yi, between Zhu Yi and the little girl, in a protective stance.
Zhu Yi suddenly woke up and found that one foot had already stepped into the alley, and the other foot had just been lifted and had not yet landed. She immediately stopped her foot from going forward and tried to back away, but her front foot could not get out of the magic circle in the alley.
She looked around and found it to be indeed remote and eerie. The place was quite far from the market, making it difficult to ask for help.
The surrounding area was a demonic barrier about to be activated. The chains formed by black mist were inscribed with blood-red runes. The ropes were not far from Zhu Yi, flowing slowly, waiting for her to step into the alley with her other foot. Then the chains would rush up and tightly wrap her up. What a wonderful feast!
Zhu Yifang's bewitched consciousness was brought back by Zhao Cai, and she realized the danger she had just faced.
Ahead, the little girl's resentment blared, "The hunt failed! How could a human cultivator like you escape the binding and control of the Oath of the Demonic Curse?"
"Thank you so much, Zhao Cai! Otherwise, I would have really fallen into someone's trap this time!" Zhu Yi ignored the little girl and thanked Zhao Cai with a smile.
Zhu Yi stretched out his hands, and the horse-slaying sword appeared out of thin air.
She raised the knife high with both hands, then swung it heavily into the alley. The afterimage of the blade, carrying high-level fire spirit energy, landed on the black mist chains. The fiery flames, like the blazing sun, pierced through the obstacles and headed straight for the little girl's face, standing out conspicuously in the black mist.
A shooting star streaks across the sky, bringing people boundless hope.
Despite the blazing fire, Zhu Yiming insisted on confronting an enemy of unknown strength head-on.
"Anyone capable of using this purplish-black spiritual energy must be a demon!"
