Chapter 1710: Missed by Just a Little
Little Taotie was exhausted from running, standing on the ruins and panting heavily, "I’m not playing with you anymore, I’m leaving!"
"Hua Jinyan, keep up!"
Little Taotie leapt out of the gate like a monkey.
A falling stone from the sky came crashing down, just missing Little Taotie by a hair, but still ending in vain.
Hua Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly chased after.
Feng Qi darted out swiftly and in the next moment dove into the Horse-Faced Bell, wanting to check if the candles collected inside were still lit.
Inside the Horse-Faced Bell, there was a peculiar murky glow; those candles were indeed lit, with flames flickering, but there was a noticeable difference, quite unlike the flames in the Ancient Pagoda.
The flames had transformed into different shapes, growing faint silhouettes resembling humans, birds, and beasts.
Clearly, not only human Spiritual Bodies were collected here; some massive birds and beasts also had their spirits captured.
Aside from the flames extinguished before being collected, all other flames remained lit.
Little Taotie, who escaped from the Ancient Pagoda, was dirty and dust-covered; although the stones didn’t hit her, falling debris inevitably plastered her face.
Little Taotie wiped her face with her grimy hands, resembling a little kitten even more.
"Whew, finally escaped."
The little girl panted breathlessly.
Hua Jinyan took out a handkerchief to wipe her face when suddenly, the sound of wind rushed past his ear.
Alert, both of them became wary, and Little Taotie dashed away instantly.
The spot where she had stood a moment ago was now occupied by a boulder weighing over two hundred pounds, indicating that a second of delay would have the rock crashing onto her.
Little Taotie patted her chest in fright: "I’ve escaped, yet you still won’t let me go!"
The little girl extended her hand and pointed a finger at the Ancient Pagoda, which was slightly tilted at the moment.
"You’re too much! If you don’t believe me, I’ll tear you down!"
The little girl’s voice was soft and sweet, carrying a childlike tone and having little intimidation.
Hua Jinyan held her hand pointing at the Ancient Pagoda and gently wiped the dirt off her face with a handkerchief.
Little Taotie huffed angrily: "If this pagoda hits me again, I don’t care if it’s a cultural relic, I’ll tear it apart!"
She looked around, seeing no one, not even a camera, and snorted: "No one cares about it, if I tear down a few Gold Bricks, I shouldn’t get arrested, right?"
Hua Jinyan laughed: "You’re still thinking about Gold Bricks now?"
Little Taotie pouted and muttered: "It’s always these broken stones hitting me, why doesn’t it use Gold Bricks? Maybe I’d just stand still and let it hit me."
Hua Jinyan was about to make a joke, but suddenly his smile froze.
A streak of gold flew swiftly toward them!
What else could it be if not Gold Bricks?
Little Taotie was stunned for a moment, then as she realized it, she turned around and ran.
The tilted Ancient Pagoda trembled slightly at this moment, almost as if shaking in anger.
If it could speak, it might already be cursing: Didn’t you say if I hit you with Gold Bricks, you’d stand still for me to hit!!!
Little Taotie fled several hundred meters away then sprinted back as if in a hundred-meter dash, face beaming with joy.
She directly hugged the Gold Brick, grinning widely: "It really hit me with a Gold Brick, awesome!"
She looked up and shouted at the Ancient Pagoda: "Hit me again! You can’t hit me, keep trying!"
The little girl began taunting, dancing around the Gold Brick, wiggling her bottom at the Ancient Pagoda, "You’re useless, you can’t even hit someone’s bottom!"
The Ancient Pagoda tilted a few more centimeters, sending countless Golden Light towards Little Taotie.
Little Taotie’s eyes were filled with sparkling gold, happily dodging left and right: "Continue, continue, you’re just a bit away from hitting me!"
