Chapter 270 Puppet Little Spirit
Nan Xiao blinked in disbelief.
Where is the puppet? Where is the puppet? Where is her puppet?
Although the number of five or six hundred is not a lot, it is not a small number either.
How come there is no shadow at all?
"Big Brother, please wait a moment, I'll look for it."
Nan Xiao didn't wait for their answer and went to look for the puppet on his own.
Seeing this, Jiang Xia's mouth corners drooped slightly and he shook his head helplessly, as if he was already accustomed to her anxious temper.
The others looked at each other, understood each other, and chatted for a while.
The space was so small that after a while, Nan Xiao came back dejectedly.
He muttered, "It's gone, it's gone..."
Seeing her frustrated face, Lu Huai comforted her: "Xiaoxiao, you are the only one who can enter and exit this space freely, so you shouldn't be lost. Why not ask Xiao Shitou and Xiao Ya, maybe they know the answer."
Ye Wumian agreed: "Yes."
Nan Xiao nodded: "Okay"
She had searched everywhere except the small building.
Because she didn't think Xiaoya would lock the puppet in the small building, and it couldn't accommodate it.
When they entered the small building, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
In sight, the girl puppet had chains wrapped around her neck and hands. Her face was as pale as paper, revealing an eerie paleness.
At this moment, she was holding a bird in her left hand and tightly grasping a vine in her right hand, which she kept wrapping around the bird. The little fat bird was struggling frantically, and its feathers were scattered all over the ground.
Even though the puppet has no expression, you can still see her madness and happiness through her movements.
"stop."
Nan Xiao threw Kuaipao directly over to stop her behavior.
The gun brushed past the girl puppet's neck, leaving a faint blood mark, and then steadily penetrated the wall behind her.
Her movements paused. When Xiao Shitou and Xiao Ya saw Nan Xiao, they were so moved that tears filled their eyes as if they had seen a savior. Taking advantage of the moment when the puppet relaxed, they nimbly escaped from the puppet's hands and started running towards Nan Xiao.
"Master, you are finally here. That bad guy has plucked out all my feathers. Woo woo woo... I will never be a beautiful phoenix again... Woo woo woo..."
Little Shitou threw himself into Nan Xiao's arms, shaking as he complained to her, looking so pitiful.
The little bud also wrapped around Nan Xiao's wrist in a wronged manner, and the leaves were yellow and wilted.
"Xiaoxiao, you're finally here... wuwuwu..."
"You almost never saw us again."
The two little ones cried and complained.
Nan Xiao touched the little stone with a distressed look. Its once beautiful and vibrant red feathers were now a mess, with patches of feathers missing here and there. It looked horrible.
Xiaoya was aggrieved, her roots trembling with anxiety. She said angrily, "Xiaoxiao, this puppet is too mean! She destroyed all the puppets you brought in before, and she even bullied us."
"She's too bad and disobedient. We don't want her."
Little Stone rarely joins forces with Little Bud: "Master, the dead vine is right, we don't want her."
“…”
Xiao Shitou and Xiao Ya took turns talking and explained the whole story.
Simply put, after Nan Xiao put this young girl puppet in, her puppet army was completely destroyed by her.
Her breeding plan ended before it even began.
Nan Xiao sighed, the hidden version was indeed brutal.
She coaxed Xiaoya and the others softly, and only looked at the girl puppet after they calmed down.
She maintained the same posture without moving.
Nan Xiao was a little confused. The puppet team had become a single one.
It is true that she can replace many puppets, but she is out of control.
Just as Nan Xiao was thinking about how to deal with her, the girl puppet slowly moved towards Nan Xiao.
Jiang Xia and the others looked at her warily.
When she was three meters away from Nan Xiao, she was stopped by Kuaipao.
The spirit sword hung between her eyebrows.
The girl puppet stared at Nan Xiao with its all-white eyes without blinking, her face expressionless, like a cold statue.
However, somehow, Nan Xiao felt a deep sense of grievance from her empty eyes.
This feeling was so weird that even Nan Xiao himself found it outrageous.
At this time, the girl puppet slowly raised her arms and lifted her sleeves stiffly, exposing her slender arms. Her fair skin was covered with marks of fire, and the uneven charred skin was wrinkled, revealing a bit of hideousness.
She lowered her sleeves expressionlessly and pointed at the small stone and small bud in Nan Xiao's arms, her movements slow but with inexplicable stubbornness.
Nan Xiao: “…………”
She seemed to understand.
Xiaoya and Xiaoshitou felt Nan Xiao's gaze, shrank their necks guiltily, and began to pretend to be dead.
"Tell the truth."
Little Stone and Little Sprout pushed each other, and finally Little Stone spoke first: "Master, we didn't do it on purpose. She was the one who misbehaved first."
"We confined your shameful puppets inside, and killed them all the time she came in. We told her to stay still, but she wouldn't listen, so we took action."
"and……"
It just wanted to spit fire to scare her, but she didn't even try to dodge and even pulled its hair. It was too much.
Nan Xiao rubbed his eyebrows.
She spent some time and effort to communicate with the puppet and finally understood her purpose of killing other puppets.
Her idea is simple: she is enough, no matter how many other puppets there are, they are not as good as her.
Finally, after a confusing exchange between the two sides, the girl puppet stayed.
Nan Xiao discovered that there was a word "Ling" engraved on her wrist, so she simply named her Xiao Ling.
She is just bad at naming.
For this, Su Xun laughed at her for a long time.
…
The way back was not in a hurry, and I met many disciples from other sects and independent cultivators.
At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and Nan Xiao and his companions happened to pass by a tea stall and decided to stay there for a while.
It was peak travel time, and quite a few people were sitting inside the tent. Jiang Xia found a corner and sat there with a few of his fellow apprentices.
"My fellow Taoists, our shop has recently received a batch of high-quality spiritual tea. Drinking it can relieve fatigue. It is especially suitable for people like you who are on the road. Would you like to try it?" The waiter had a smile on his face and recommended it enthusiastically.
Su Xun chuckled and said, "Okay, a pot first."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After a while, the waiter brought the brewed tea.
A few people drank tea and listened to the gossip around them.
"Alas, I heard that the demons have been more active recently. The villages and towns around Anyang City have all suffered, and the people are fleeing everywhere. It's a miserable scene."
"I originally wanted to go to Anyang City to seek refuge with my cousin, but now I don't dare to go."
"Hey, that's nothing. With the Sect Alliance here, the demons can't get in. There have been rumors of demons getting in for the past few years, but nothing's happened yet."
The thin man whispered, "This time is different. Do you know who is the demon leading the army this time?"
"How would I know that?" The monk who spoke took a sip of tea.
"Demon General Xiong Lin."
The monk was shocked and uttered, "Is it Xiong Lin who massacred three cities in a row, with ruthless methods, and caused great suffering wherever he went?"
"It's him."
