Chapter 2533 Deceiving the Little Girl
Ah Lian tilted her head, her large, dark pupils clear and unambiguous, making it impossible to tell whether she was thinking or not.
Just as he said, she doesn't like to talk.
This is troublesome. The guard remained patient and smiled, then shook the nine-linked rings in his hand: "Here, I'll ask you a question. If you only answer 'I agree' or 'I do,' this nine-linked rings are yours, and I'll also give you lots of delicious food. How about it?"
A-Lian put the cloth tiger on the ground: "What are you saying?"
These words were spoken in a childish, babyish voice.
So the guard repeated Xiao Ping's instructions in their entirety:
"Ah Lian, do you agree to be the body of He Lu Tian?"
As he spoke, the guard made a light gesture with his left hand behind his back, and a spiritual contract floated into the air. With each word he spoke, a new word appeared on the contract, until the entire question was written down without missing a single word.
There was no paper, but every word was glowing.
He Lingchuan understood by now that the young girl in the garden probably had a better relationship with the guard than with Xiao Ping, which was why Xiao Ping had the guard do it for her.
She also taught the guards how to form this spiritual contract.
Lingqi was behind him, and Alian couldn't see him, but she shook her head like a rattle-drum.
This general action conveys only one meaning:
No way! I won't do it!
Her statement was so decisive that the other guard next to her had to grit his teeth to barely suppress the smirk on his face.
You must not laugh. Losing your composure in front of Master Xiao will have dire consequences.
The guard holding the nine-linked rings felt a thorn in his side, because Master Xiao was standing behind him with an unpleasant expression.
He was anxious too: "Didn't you just agree?"
“I understand,” A-Lian continued in her childish voice, “but I disagree.”
"Why!"
"What is Helu Tian?" A-Lian's big eyes were filled with curiosity. "What is skin, skin bag?"
He Lingchuan's gaze, however, fell on A-Lian.
What did he see? A contract ceremony for a divine incarnation?
He Lingchuan originally had a glowing mark in his mind, proving that he was Narakuten's designated and exclusive body. Later, as he became more powerful, Narakuten took back the mark on his own. However, he didn't fully understand how the original owner of this body obtained the mark, because his past memories were very vague.
Unexpectedly, he was able to witness the entire process firsthand in the Lingyun Palace.
For a celestial demon to enter a human body for the first time, it must obtain the owner's consent. This "I do" has the effect of a signature on the spiritual contract, which will be branded into the body, making it difficult for him/her to resist the celestial demon's arrival.
It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's difficult. When the physical body itself becomes powerful enough that even a descending celestial demon cannot control or match it, the mark naturally loses its effectiveness. This is what is meant by the strong being unbound.
The reason why Narakuten generously took back the divine mark from He Lingchuan's mind back then was because he saw through this.
This guy surnamed Xiao thought he could trick A-Lian into agreeing with just a simple nine-linked ring, probably because he thought she was a naive young girl who had never seen anything good before.
Hearing this, everyone became even more curious.
The Heavenly God Helu actually wanted a six or seven-year-old girl as his physical form?
Putting everything else aside, such a young child's body hasn't even fully developed yet, let alone any cultivation level. How could he possibly receive the power of a celestial being, even if it's just an avatar?
Dong Rui said, "Look at the red line on the ground. Even Xiao Ping is unwilling to step over it. Her cultivation level is already very high, yet she is still so cautious. Surely she's not afraid of that banyan tree in the garden?"
That said, A-Lian is prettier than 90% of human girls.
The body possessed by the Heavenly Demon Wu Yao was covered by a thin film on its face, making its features blurry and reflective. It didn't look human at all.
The guards have run into trouble here. How should they explain this to the little girl in front of them?
Gods and physical bodies—these are not concepts a four or five-year-old girl could understand. Besides, Xiao Ping intended to deceive her; how could she possibly know the truth? However, the spiritual contract required her to pronounce each word clearly and precisely before it could be recorded into the sentence.
At this point, Xiao Ping had no choice but to speak up:
“The god Helu is very powerful, and your father works for Him. If you don’t agree, your father will be blamed and beaten. Do you want that?”
Ah Lian immediately shook her head.
“Then just say ‘I agree’,” Xiao Ping said, getting back to the point. “After you say that, I’ll let you out to play, okay?”
She was the only one with the authority to let the child out; the guards were not. The little girl knew this too.
"Go out?" Ah Lian pointed to the red line on the ground.
"Yes, we'll leave from here and won't be trapped in this garden anymore."
The little girl seemed interested, blinking her eyes.
Dong Rui then said to He Lingchuan, "We cannot allow the god Helu to change his appearance."
Ling Jinbao then had a sudden inspiration: "Or, while it's changing its appearance, could we remove the gimbal?"
He Lingchuan's eyes flickered slightly.
Suddenly, the little girl, A-Lian, spoke up again: "No."
Why! Why, why! Xiao Ping smiled instead of getting angry: "Why don't you want anything today?"
She knew that stubbornness wouldn't work against this little thing.
"You're not a good person," Ah Lian pouted. "I want my father!"
Your father isn't here today.
"Then we'll wait for Father to come back." The little girl was very wary. "I'll stay here and don't need to go out."
Xiao Ping's smile slowly faded, and she sighed, "It's always like this. Sigh, they won't listen to reason, so they'll have to suffer the consequences."
After saying that, she said to the guard beside her, "Place some tranquilizing incense."
The guard immediately pressed the mechanism on the wall, and a faint blue smoke was released from the cracks in the garden bricks.
This is the medicinal fragrance that He Lingchuan brought earlier, which is vaporized using a special device before being released.
The fog inside the park gradually thickened, but the red line was an invisible barrier that kept the blue fog inside, preventing even a trace from escaping.
A-Lian stared at Xiao Ping, her eyes wide and round. The latter muttered, "Look at that expression, how much she hates us! And he just can't see it, is he blind?"
The guard didn't realize that the little girl looked pitiful, but he didn't dare to say anything.
While watching the commotion, He Lingchuan and the others were speculating about who "he" was referring to.
Is he the "father" that Ah Lian mentioned?
Suddenly, the little girl grabbed the cloth tiger and threw it at Xiao Ping.
Well, now everyone can see she's unhappy.
The cloth tiger struck the invisible barrier with a "smack," and a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, shattering it into dust, with wisps of smoke rising into the air.
A powerful lightning barrier.
Shouldn't this be used to imprison powerful demons? Why is it only used to trap a little girl?
The smoke in the garden thickened, and Ah Lian yawned, then swayed and collapsed.
A moment later, she closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep, her chest rising and falling rhythmically.
