The Taotie, a towering figure of 1.88 meters, bent low, and Tianning whispered in its ear, "I'm the one who wrote the book... Dad... Ahhhhhh— Ahhhhhh—"
Although the last word "father" was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, Taotie still heard it.
Before he could react, the clear sky suddenly turned black, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down on Tianning, making her scream in pain.
Taotie: "..."
Even the Taotie was startled and immediately took a big step back, quickly moving away!
If the lightning that struck him earlier was just a minor incident, then the lightning that struck Tian Ning was more than ten times stronger, practically aimed at taking her life.
Taotie continued wiping away sweat.
No...did this girl say something she shouldn't have, revealing some secret?
Looking back, all she mentioned was her father...
It doesn't have to be chopped that hard, does it?
This girl is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, I hope she won't get killed by this attack...
As the dark clouds dispersed, Tian Ning, who had been charred beyond recognition, exhaled a breath of black smoke, grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth without much emotion: "I know (chews) I won't say it again."
Taotie: "..."
The Taotie was a little confused: "Your dad... Ahhhhhh— Ahhhhhh—"
Tianning: "..."
Well, we can't even talk about this anymore.
The Taotie, who had been inexplicably shocked twice, looked at Tianning in great fear.
He was certain that this girl was no ordinary person; otherwise, why would heavenly lightning strike her three times in a row? And there were no cultivators advancing in cultivation here!
Who exactly is she?
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Tianning put away her book.
She just wanted to test if calling from behind would work, but the old man's ears and eyes were sharp enough to hear her.
Taotie nodded repeatedly.
He didn't want to be struck by lightning again for no reason! A few more hits and his cultivation would regress...
The two of them returned to Snow City without saying a word.
"Junior Sister!" Shi Qinxin was a little nervous when she saw Taotie with Tianning.
You must know that ferocious beasts are not good things. They can corrupt people's minds and even, according to ancient records, there are cases where ferocious beasts have turned against their masters!
When the elder questioned him earlier, this Taotie was even more arrogant and domineering, constantly saying that he didn't know anything and that if there was anything, he should ask that little girl. He didn't want to waste his breath here.
This made even the mild-tempered elders want to take action. If it weren't for the intervention of Duanmu Qiao and a few of his close disciples who knew the truth, a fight would have broken out long ago!
After all, a being like the Taotie is not something that can be dealt with easily.
The residents of Snow City paid a heavy price for this, and the fact that they were able to stop the Taotie without any casualties is the best-case scenario.
So the moment Taotie appeared, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the man following behind Tianning.
Unexpectedly, the noisy man was unusually quiet, ignoring what others said and keeping his mouth shut, refusing to utter a single word!
After Tianning said everything was alright, he noticed the atmosphere was a bit tense and knew it was because of Taotie.
She simply turned Long Yunqi on her wrist back into human form and pushed the child to Taotie: "Tao Tao, you happen to have nothing to do, so why don't you help me guide this child?"
Taotie: "..."
What did she take him for, this mighty beast?
They actually asked him to take care of the child!
Besides, what the heck is Tao Tao? He absolutely refuses to admit that such a effeminate name is being used to call him!
Taotie laughed angrily: "Why should I listen to you?"
This girl won't even form a contract with him, she's not even his contract master, what right does she have to order him around?!
Tian Ning blinked: "Didn't you say I was too weak?"
"So if my contracted beast can receive your guidance, its strength will definitely improve. If my contracted beast's strength improves, it means I will become stronger!"
Tianning: "This gives us an even greater chance of dealing with the person behind it all! This isn't just helping me, it's helping you too!"
Taotie: "..."
What kind of twisted logic is this?
He had never seen a cultivator who didn't reflect on why he wasn't working hard, but instead made his contracted beast work hard!
Thinking this, Taotie glanced at the little dragon cub with displeasure.
"Heh—" he sneered, "It's a great honor for you to receive my guidance, kid!"
Tianning: "Go, Tao Tao!"
Taotie: "..."
