Chapter 1988: The Long Wait for Homecoming

Little Taotie sighed in a childish voice: "The sun is about to set. If we don’t go out now, there’s no need to go out at all."

Little Taotie waited and waited, and finally saw that the young girl had stopped looking at the mirror. Little Taotie’s eyes lit up: "Is Sister going out now?"

But the young girl just yawned and went to bed to sleep soundly.

Little Taotie: "..."

Little Taotie was "forced" to watch over the beautiful sister until dawn.

In the morning, the beautiful sister got up, and the first thing she did was look at the front door, then ran off to look in the mirror again!!!

Little Taotie was stunned, holding her little head, the little person was taken aback.

Because she was once again "forced" to accompany the young lady to look in the mirror all day long.

The young lady was like a narcissist who could never fully appreciate her beauty, and so day after day passed, each day the same.

Little Taotie wished she could quickly get through it, to escape from this dream, but no matter how she struggled, she was stuck in this dream, "forced" to admire the beauty.

Although the beauty was truly breathtaking, watching her be so narcissistic day after day, anyone would grow tired of it.

Little Taotie sighed, her little voice filled with helplessness: "Don’t you have anything else to do every day? Is there nothing more meaningful than looking in the mirror?"

The beauty couldn’t hear Little Taotie’s helplessness and complaints, as Little Taotie had already said such things for several days.

Finally, one day was different.

The young lady excitedly ran to the front door, took a small stool and sat on it, waiting all day like a little dog waiting for its owner to come home, her eyes gradually dimming...

After keeping the beauty company for quite a few days, Little Taotie felt uneasy seeing those eyes, bright as stars, gradually dimming, with a pang of bitterness and stuffiness in her heart, a slight impulse to cry along with the young lady.

"Who are you waiting for? Did he break his promise? Beautiful sister, don’t cry, oh, please don’t... oh, you already started crying, what should I do, please, don’t cry..."

Little Taotie comforted the silently weeping beautiful sister with the gentlest voice, but unfortunately, the beautiful sister couldn’t see her, nor hear her speaking.

Such waiting lasted one day, two days, three days, four days...

The beautiful sister cried once, and later seemed to become numb, no longer crying, just continuing to sit by the door and wait.

Little Taotie noticed her body seemed to fade somewhat, and finally, she couldn’t maintain her appearance as a young girl, like a muffled firecracker, turned back into the form of a Little Beast Bai Bai.

Little Taotie was surprised: "So it was you!"

She was "acquainted" with Little Beast Bai Bai, but that was just Little Taotie’s one-sided thinking, as Little Beast Bai Bai didn’t know such a "Little Ghost" existed at all.

In the following days, Little Taotie accompanied Little Beast Bai Bai like a little ghost, the difference being that Little Beast Bai Bai couldn’t see her as she saw the Little Ghost.

Little Beast Bai Bai lay by the door like a little puppy, waiting for the owner to come back, one day, two days, three days...

The long years slipped through the fingers, Little Taotie, being a "Little Ghost," vaguely sensed that a lot of time had passed, yet it wasn’t completely real, time in a dream is always hard to grasp, but if this were real, just how long had Little Beast Bai Bai been waiting?

Little Taotie couldn’t help feeling sorry for this poor creature.

"Who are you waiting for, is it the War God?"

Knowing that the beautiful sister was what Little Beast Bai Bai had transformed into, Little Taotie could also guess whom it was waiting for, but she didn’t understand why, after waiting so long, the War God had still not returned.
