The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1693: Zaizai’s Heart Aches

Hua Jinyan looked at Little Taotie, Feng Qi also glanced at Little Taotie. Little Taotie covered the small pouch hiding the chocolate with one hand, her big innocent eyes blinking, yet her demeanor was clearly like a thief trying to deny a theft with silver.

Hua Jinyan curled his lips: "Without parting with chocolate, you can’t catch the wolf."

Feng Qi: "You might end up getting more chocolate, you can use these as bait. If you’re unwilling to part with the bait, how will you catch a big fish?"

Little Taotie hesitated: "Can I catch a big fish?"

Feng Qi nodded: "There’s thick Yin qi on the withered branch, its essence is likely rooted in the Land of Extreme Yin, which is the Ghost King’s favorite place to reside. A Ghost King will surely have countless Ghost Servants. You can do the math: if you offer chocolate now, and the withered branch’s spirit becomes stronger, it’ll surely seek its essence. That way, you can also find that extremely yin place."

Little Taotie’s grip on the small pouch gradually loosened, her soft voice tinged with uncertainty: "Are you not tricking me?"

Feng Qi proudly lifted his chin: "Why would I trick you over something like this?"

Little Taotie thought it over and felt that Feng Qi didn’t seem like an unreliable person, so decided to trust him.

Her tender voice held a touch of reluctance: "Shouldn’t need much, right? It’s eaten so much already, a little more should be enough, right?"

She didn’t want to hand over all the chocolate, considering maybe a third or a fifth would be sufficient.

Feng Qi’s big tail swayed back and forth: "You put them in one by one, and when it’s enough it will stop eating."

Despite the reluctance, with such massive temptation ahead, Little Taotie thought about offering a third or a fifth, and once they reached the Land of Extreme Yin, she could reap returns exponentially, recover her losses and Hua Jinyan’s losses too. So Little Taotie pulled out the first piece of chocolate.

One piece, two pieces... twenty pieces... thirty pieces...

"No more, I’m out!!!" Little Taotie covered the small pouch, her face full of resistance.

"If you give up now, you won’t even recover the principal. If you continue, you’ll recover the principal and make a big profit."

Little Taotie looked at Feng Qi, then down at her own small pouch, "You sound like a terrible person tricking someone to keep gambling."

Feng Qi, hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh: "Are you like a brainless gambler, believing whatever I say? Without profit, not even a stingy person like you would take out a single piece."

Little Taotie pursed her lips: "Too much already, I’ve taken them out."

"Suit yourself." Feng Qi shrugged, looking indifferent, clearly not believing her.

Little Taotie hesitated again, her voice weak: "Then I’ll give three more, the last three. If it doesn’t work, I really can’t take out any more."

Feng Qi laughed, shaking his head: "Alright then."

Hua Jinyan had already tried to remove the Rainbow Relic, but it seemed like a separate branched space with no Ghosts coming.

Now the only one to feed the withered branches could only be Little Taotie’s hoarded supplies.

Little Taotie put on a pained expression, glaring at the Horse-Faced Bell as if she could glare through the Bell at the withered branch, her soft voice threatening, "Only three left, once finished there’s no more. If you don’t grow stronger and find your essence, I’ll burn you! Use you as firewood to cook!"

One piece of chocolate... like a stone sinking into the sea, no reaction.

Second piece of chocolate... still no reaction.

Little Taotie held the third piece of chocolate, gritted her teeth, and tossed it into the Horse-Faced Bell.
