Chapter 1995: Of Course They’ll Seek Outside Help

Lu Yuan squinted his eyes: "After all, I still haven’t found out who harmed Old Tie, and I suspect there might be a traitor inside. Maybe your accounts have long been under surveillance."

Little Taotie was startled, clutching his little heart: "What should I do to protect the treasure?"

"Don’t use your accounts; you can use accounts of people you trust."

"Can I use my brothers’ accounts?"

"As long as you’re not afraid the immense wealth will lead them astray and they might take the money and run, then you can use their accounts."

"My brothers are already rich, they wouldn’t covet it or leave me." Little Taotie’s eyes were full of trust in his brothers, his tone proud and confident.

"Don’t trust anyone too easily."

"I trust you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan chuckled and shook his head: "Not everyone is as trustworthy as I am."

Little Taotie covered his mouth, laughing: "I have a good idea!"

"What idea?"

Little Taotie giggled: "It’s a secret!"

Even if he shared the idea of using the method of looking at the flowers on top to discern the degree of liking, which equals the level of trustworthiness, not many would believe it.

Little Taotie stuck out his tongue and ran off.

Lu Yuan was helpless, seeing Little Taotie leave, he laughed lightly: "Being young is nice, always so carefree."

...

When Little Taotie found Hua Jinyan, Hua Jinyan was fiddling with a Luban Lock.

"Aren’t you searching for the treasure? Why are you playing with this?"

Hearing Little Taotie’s voice, Hua Jinyan looked up: "You’re awake? Did you sleep well?"

Little Taotie sighed: "I had another dream, and this time I was killed in the dream."

"Who killed you?" Hua Jinyan exerted force on the Luban Lock, almost crushing it.

Little Taotie: "Who else, Little Beast Bai Bai."

"It..." Hua Jinyan was puzzled: "Isn’t it you?"

"In theory, it should be me, according to Sister Meng’s past analysis, it should be me from a certain lifetime."

Little Taotie has one more person to share her dreams with, namely Sister Meng Po who always gives her watermelons.

Meng Po knows a lot, so her words are always reasonable, and Little Taotie also finds her analysis reasonable.

Hua Jinyan paused for a moment, asking: "Why did it kill you?"

Little Taotie sighed, full of grievance: "It thought I was a lonely wild ghost trying to snatch its body, so it struck first to kill me, to feel safe."

Hua Jinyan’s mouth twitched.

That... does indeed seem like something Little Taotie would do.

Little Taotie frowned at him: "What are you thinking? Your mouth is twitching, will it lead to paralysis?"

Hua Jinyan remained expressionless: "No."

"You look like you’re paralyzed now."

Hua Jinyan: "..."

Little Taotie snorted: "Next time I see it, I’ll pretend to snatch its body, I’ll scare it to death! Seeing me resurrected, it will surely think I’m immortal and eternal, it will definitely get scared!"

Hua Jinyan: "Is there a possibility it will seek out external reinforcements to continue killing you."

"Seek out reinforcements?"

"Feng Qi, Lion Clan Elder, War God..."

"No way!" Little Taotie widened his eyes.

"If it were you, would you?" Hua Jinyan gave her an eye of understanding.

If it were herself... of course, she would seek out reinforcements!

Little Taotie’s mouth tasted bitter, she remembered, isn’t Little Beast Bai Bai herself?

Maybe its mentality is the same as hers!

So whatever she would do, Little Beast Bai Bai would surely do as well!
