A crack, accompanied by a piercing shriek, rang in Song Mengmeng's ears, but she seemed oblivious to the sudden change before her. The spiritual fire that appeared in her hand spread along the crack, weaving an inescapable net that, in the blink of an eye, completely pulled the thing out of the mirror.
It was a creature that looked like a pig, trapped in a cage woven from spirit fire. Although it tried to run away several times, it was burned and screamed in agony each time it bumped into something agile. In the end, it had no choice but to give up resisting and obediently huddled in the middle of the cage, looking at Song Mengmeng, who was smiling and watching all this from outside, through the gaps in the spirit fire cage.
"Ha, what do we have here? It's just a dream-eating tapir trapped in a mirror!" Song Mengmeng bent down and examined the cage closely for a long time before recognizing that she was actually somewhat familiar with the little animal.
"Pixiu?!" This dream-eating tapir was clearly no ordinary creature. It recognized Song Mengmeng's origins at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, shrinking its chubby little body even tighter.
Good heavens, how come there's a Pixiu here?!
How is that possible?!
If the Pixiu existed in this world, how could there be so many other strange and evil spirits...?
"Hey, I remember you fed on nightmares, how come you've become someone else's nightmare now?" Seeing that the other party knew her origin, Song Mengmeng stopped restraining it. Instead, she released the control of the spirit fire, grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, and, ignoring the dream-eating beast's struggles, lifted it in front of her. She frowned as she examined the little spirit beast, which didn't seem to have been too badly corrupted by 'malice'. It seemed that it had only been sealed inside for a short time...
"I didn't want to either..." The dream-eating tapir struggled and threw itself into Song Mengmeng's arms, bursting into tears, as if it had seen a savior. "I was originally a monster that eats nightmares and then re-weaves beautiful dreams for people!"
Just a few days ago, I don't know how it happened, but I was passing by a villa and got sucked in...
Originally, I wasn't going to give in, but... but if I didn't obey, it would eat me... Waaah, I'm still young, I haven't even taken human form yet, I don't want to die!
"So you're just aiding and abetting evil?" Song Mengmeng squeezed the Dream Eater with some disdain and shook it hard, clearly disliking its cowardice. "Don't you know that even if you compromise and get involved with evil, you'll still end up dead?!"
The reason why spirit beasts are able to survive is largely due to their purity and cleanliness.
Once one becomes tainted by too much evil, the final result will either be that one becomes an evil spirit and is eliminated, or one will be punished by the Heavenly Dao and be annihilated!
However, she also knew that the Dream Eater clan was generally timid, so it was not surprising that they would give up and choose to compromise and surrender.
"I know, but, but it's better to live a miserable life than to die! If I had chosen not to compromise back then, I wouldn't be able to see you now!" The Dream Eater gave up resisting and, being very cunning, chose to flatter and curry favor.
Others might not know, but these spirit beasts knew it all too well! The creature before them was a divine beast, an object of their adoration and worship. If they could cling to this powerful figure, at least no one in the world would dare to bully them again!
"What exactly was it that snatched you away from the mirror?" Song Mengmeng was too lazy to argue with the timid and cowardly dream-eating tapir in front of her. What she cared more about was the information that this thing might know.
"I don't know, I just know it was a dark shadow that looked really fierce with its claws outstretched! There was a little monster that was captured with me, and that little monster just wouldn't bow its head, so it was crushed to death in an instant!" At this point, the Dream Eater couldn't help but shudder, and then cautiously glanced at Song Mengmeng with its beady eyes. Seeing that she didn't seem angry, it continued, "But, but I don't think that was a monster from our China."
"How did you know?" Song Mengmeng's interest was piqued by the Baku's question, but she quickly sensed something was off. She frowned slightly, picked up the yellowish-gray blob, and shook it subtly, saying disapprovingly, "But speaking of which, aren't you a monster from the Sakura Kingdom?!"
"Pfft, I'm from China, a native Chinese spirit beast!" The Dream Eater was clearly provoked by Song Mengmeng's words. It didn't even care about respect and directly swore.
It can tolerate the powerful figure in front of it holding it by the scruff of its neck and swinging it around like a toy, but it absolutely cannot tolerate the powerful figure arbitrarily changing its birth!
Although many people now classify it as part of the "Japan of Cherry Blossoms," ...
But it really is different from those beasts over there!
"Alright, I was just kidding." Song Mengmeng carried the Dream Eater back to her room, unusually placing it on her bedside table, and then continued the topic that had just been interrupted: "What did you mean when you said that monster wasn't from our China?!"
"That's right. Although I don't know its origin, I can sense that summoning power, which is not something we Chinese would use! And those gibberish incantations don't sound familiar to us either! They're not even from Japan!"
The Dream Eater shook its fur before slowly squatting down and looking at Song Mengmeng, explaining to her very seriously, "Hmm, it seems a bit like the Haze Country!"
"You even know about the Smog Country?!" Song Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, feeling even more favorably disposed towards the little spirit beast in front of her, which seemed to be very knowledgeable.
"Of course!" The Dream Eater proudly raised its little head, looked at Song Mengmeng, and hummed: "I am a spirit beast that can make dreams come true!"
I learned quite a bit from my dream. Not only did I learn about the Smog Kingdom, but I also learned that several of its subordinates respectfully called that monster "Madame Mary!"
"Madame Mary?!" Song Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise. The most famous evil spirits or legends that could be used to create stories in the Haze Country were probably...
"Bloody Mary?!"
"It seems so!" The Dream Eater turned around and found a relatively comfortable position to lie down: "But this thing seems to have only been here for a short time."
I think her strength is immense, but it's probably sealed away!
So right now she should be trying to find a way to increase her strength in order to break the seal!
"Master, if you want to deal with her, now is a golden opportunity!"
