Floating to your side (6)

"I told you to change your pose, otherwise it will be difficult for me to paint," Shen Tang frowned and raised the paintbrush in his hand to signal to the woman in red in front of him, Ah Piao. Only after Ah Piao struck the pose she wanted did Shen Tang put his brush back on the snow-white drawing paper.

The broken tiles on the temple roof made continuous noises as the rain hit them, and water droplets flowed through the holes and fell into the empty basin in the center of the temple. However, the girl seemed not to hear any of the noise, and she focused calmly on the painting in her hands.

Ah Piao in red held his head and posed perfectly, but holding his head in his arms did ruin the beauty. Shen Tang looked at his drawing paper and shook his head in dissatisfaction, "Forget it, you should just put your head on your neck."

The head that was held in Ah Piao's arms blinked, and he quickly reached out to put the head back on his neck. However, the head slid downwards as soon as it was put there, and he couldn't fix it no matter how hard he tried. After the head slipped down several times, Shen Tang finally waved his hands helplessly.

"Forget it, just hold your head."

"Draw it more beautifully for me," the woman in red held the head in her arms again. Although the face on the head showed a big smile, the long tongue sticking out looked scary no matter how you looked at it.

Just now, Shen Tang saw that it was going to rain heavily, so she brought her painting supplies to the ancient temple. Soon after she packed her things and entered the ancient temple, the heavy rain outside began to pour down. Seeing that the rain would not stop for a while, Shen Tang started painting in the temple. The red-clothed Ah Piao in front of her saw her painting and came forward to ask if she could be a model.

Shen Tang did not refuse and painted the female lead in the temple. It was raining so heavily, and she thought the female lead would take the male lead away first, so she would have nothing to do for the time being.

Thinking of this, she moved her brush a little faster, and even the originally hideous-looking Nv Piao looked better.

Soon, a lifelike picture of a headless woman holding her head appeared on the white paper, which attracted Ah Piao's excitement to come over and take a look. He lifted the painting from the easel with satisfaction and placed it in a prominent place in the ancient temple.

"You draw very well..." Ah Piao just opened his mouth, but he suddenly stopped where he was and turned towards the yard stiffly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Tang didn't know why Ah Piao suddenly stopped walking. "Do you want to add any more pictures?"

The other party did not reply, but his entire soul began to tremble violently. Seeing this, Shen Tang also felt that something was wrong.

Normally, if Ah Piao was willing to talk to her when he saw her, it meant that he had no ill intentions towards her. Those souls who wanted to take over her body would usually do it directly without considering Shen Tang's opinion. This Ah Piao was willing to let her paint, which naturally meant that he had no intentions towards her. But now the other party's soul was shaking like this, which could only mean that there was still an existence in this ancient temple that made the red-clothed woman Piao feel afraid.

Shen Tang gently placed the paintbrush in his hand back on the easel, then stood up from his seat and walked towards the yard.

"Don't go over there," a trembling voice came out of Ah Piao's mouth behind him. The head that the red-dressed woman held in her arms looked at the passage leading to the dry well in horror, "There are terrible things in there, don't go over there."

"Scary things?" Shen Tang's brows furrowed even more tightly. She hadn't seen any strange phenomena when she went to the dry well before, let alone the terrifying Ah Piao. She had been looking for Wen Ting for a long time, but she didn't feel any existence that could pose a threat to people.

The already pale head of Nv Piao, who was being controlled, was suddenly covered with a layer of white pulp, which made her look even more frightening. Her stiff facial features moved slowly on the head in her arms. She said in a shrill voice, "That guy has woken up. Run quickly, or he will kill you! Leave this ancient temple and go back to where you live. Don't let him get to you!"

The female voice became more and more long and terrifying. As the pitch increased, an evil wind blew from somewhere in the temple, pushing Shen Tang out of the temple. She turned her head to look at the heavy rain outside, and then looked back in the direction of the black air. Her dark eyes seemed to have made up their minds.

Even though the wind in the temple tried to push her out, Shen Tang's body still stood still. She looked calmly in the direction where the black air was coming from, and moved closer and closer to that direction without fear, scaring the woman who was kindly trying to advise her so much that she stayed where she was.

"Why did you go there? Didn't I tell you it was dangerous there?"

The headless girl held her head and screamed in frustration, trying to pull Shen Tang back with the hand that was not holding her head. However, this girl seemed to be possessed by a demon and was determined to rush in. No matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't pull him back.

Shen Tang walked very calmly in the direction where the black air was getting thicker. She didn't know that there was another guy with the same gloomy aura as the male protagonist in this ancient temple. She didn't encounter him in the last mission world. This time, she had to take a good look at what kind of existence he was.

The girl, who looked cold and ruthless, was actually walking towards the direction where the black air was gathering with great interest. After walking for a while, she finally came to the source of the black air. This was a blocked mud wall, and the black air was emanating from this mud wall.

Just like what the red-dressed woman said, the guy in the mud wall seems to have woken up and is trying to get out of the mud wall by various methods. The outer shell of the mud wall has already started to crack due to the infiltrated force. It seems that it will not be long before the guy inside breaks out of it.

Far from being afraid, Shen Tang squatted down with interest, looking left and right at the huge crack that was spreading continuously.

What a coincidence, that she encountered such a being when she came to this ancient temple.

"Host, why are you still standing here? If you don't leave, the ghost baby in the wall will escape!"

The voice that had not been heard for a long time finally rang in Shen Tang's ears, causing the corners of Shen Tang's lips, which had just been slightly raised, to stop at their original position.

She had a calm expression and didn't take Little Fortune's words to heart. "It's just a ghost baby. What's there to be afraid of? I've seen it before."

"That's what you said, but don't forget, host. The amulet you have on you now can't protect you at all." The little lucky bag's voice came closer and farther, as if it was speaking in a hurry, but Shen Tang still didn't give any unnecessary response.

"So what if I don't have any extra amulets?" The amulet was originally given by her to the heroine to protect her from the threatening Ah Piao. Even if she only had one amulet on her now, it could at least provide some protection.

Shen Tang's cold eyes fell calmly on the earth wall: "Don't worry, I won't die. Besides, who said that this ghost baby will definitely attack me? I am your host, don't you even believe in the host?"

Xiao Fukudai was speechless for a moment, and the entire system fell silent and stopped talking.

When talking about the word "host", Shen Tang curled his lips with a slight mockery, a "host" who does not have the right to know.

She quickly closed her eyes to hide her mockery, and watched the cracks in the mud wall in front of her grow bigger and bigger, until a small piece of soil finally fell down. Shen Tang finally saw clearly what the little guy in the mud wall looked like.

The child, covered in dust, slowly pushed open the wall that locked him up with his hands. His eye sockets filled with pitch-black pupils slowly turned towards Shen Tang and gave her a weird smile. In his open mouth were saw-like fangs, as if he couldn't wait to find something to sharpen his teeth.

Shen Tang looked at the ghost baby and suddenly felt a chill on her back. She didn't know why, but she always felt that the ghost baby seemed to be interested in her.

The ghost baby crawled towards Shen Tang's feet step by step, staring at her with its dark eyes and making strange laughs.

He seems to like her very much?

Shen Tang blinked and stretched out her hand cautiously. Just as she had guessed, the ghost baby saw her hand and seemed to smell something pleasant, and it actually grabbed her arm and climbed up little by little.

No wonder Wen Ting likes the smell of her body. It seems that the original body really has something that the evil spirits like, otherwise she would not let this ghost baby get close to her.

Shen Tang picked up the baby in his arms a little clumsily, as if he were holding a child. Although the creature looked scary, Shen Tang did not feel any fear at all. Instead, he calmly moved the little creature onto his back.

"Can you speak?"

Seeing the little kid climb onto her back on his own initiative, Shen Tang asked out of curiosity. The little guy blinked twice, as if thinking about what she said. After a while, he opened his mouth and babbled.

It turned out to be a mute ghost baby. Shen Tang felt a little puzzled. Encountering this ghost baby meant deviating from the development trajectory of the previous world. She didn't know how to send this ghost baby away. Did she have to send it back to reincarnate like the male protagonist?

Just when Shen Tang was in trouble, the red-dressed woman Piao moved slowly to her side, looking at the little ghost baby lying on Shen Tang obediently with disbelief, as if the strong evil spirit just now did not come from it.

"Hey, why did you bring this scary guy with you?" The woman in red held the head in her hands and stuck out her tongue longer, staring at the ghost baby with her eyes, "How could it not kill you?"

Shen Tang lifted his long bangs, his eyes showing doubt, "Why do you want to kill me?"

The ghost baby seemed to be babbling as it played on Shen Tang's back, as if it didn't understand what was being said. If it weren't for its terrifying appearance, this ghost baby would really be no different from an ordinary human baby.
