The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1702: One Pretends to Be Sick, the Other Plays Along

"Then it’s correct, in the dream, vines strangled your neck. In reality, you strangled your own neck. If the vines in the dream killed you, you would simultaneously kill yourself in reality."

"I strangled myself? That sounds... quite impossible."

"You can use your hand to compare the marks on your neck. The direction of others strangling you and you strangling yourself with your thumb is different."

Little Taotie actually tried it, seeing the perfectly matched hand marks in the mirror, she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Unbelievable, can I really strangle myself?

Little Taotie always thought that wanting to inflict fatal harm on oneself was almost impossible, because when you feel pain, you subconsciously stop harming yourself.

The main thing was her consciousness being disturbed by the dream, completely unable to control her body to stop doing harmful things to herself.

Little Taotie somewhat understood why some mental patients can harm themselves because their consciousness can no longer control the body, leading to continuous self-harm action without stopping midway. Whenever there’s a hint of consciousness, if the mind is clear, the body will cease harming itself.

Little Taotie shook the Horse-Faced Bell, warning the dry branch inside that dared not move: "If you play tricks again, I’ll really roast you!"

The dry branch trembled slightly, as if begging for mercy.

Little Taotie hummed twice, ignoring it.

"Can we visit the Ancient Pagoda again tomorrow?" Little Taotie suddenly asked.

Hua Jinyan frowned: "I don’t think we can go."

Little Taotie drooped her head in despair: "Why did three candles light up? Is it because three people died? Where did their Spiritual Bodies go?"

Hua Jinyan shook his head: "I don’t know."

"Tomorrow, let’s sneak over. What do you think?" Little Taotie leaned close to his ear, whispering.

"It might be difficult, not an easy task."

"At Teacher Lou’s, I’ll feign illness, you cooperate and say you need to stay by my side."

Hua Jinyan shook his head: "Feigning illness is unlucky."

Usually, those who feign illness do fall ill.

It’s like Schrödinger’s law, if you open the box expecting the cat inside to be dead, the cat would indeed be dead.

Little Taotie huffed: "I’m not afraid, just cooperate with me."

Seeing her determined, Hua Jinyan could only nod.

Aside from indulging and cooperating with her, Hua Jinyan had no better solution.

Feng Qi lazily yawned: "I’m going to sleep."

Little Taotie: "All my chocolate was eaten by it, it didn’t even think of finding the main body, only wanted to harm me."

Feng Qi froze.

Little Taotie grumbled: "You told me to take out the chocolate, you have to be responsible."

Feng Qi swiftly hid inside the Horse-Faced Bell, with a powerless yawn: "I’m tired, I’m going to sleep for three to five years, goodnight."

Little Taotie fumed: "Bad Feng Qi!"

Hua Jinyan amusedly shook his head: "Go to sleep."

Early the next morning, Lou Lan came to check on the two children, seeing Hua Jinyan guarding Little Taotie’s bedside, while Little Taotie’s face was flushed, her eyes were dazed, as if she was sick.

"What’s wrong?" Lou Lan asked with deep concern.

Little Taotie weakly replied: "Maybe I got scared yesterday. I had nightmares all night. I’m so hot, my head’s dizzy, can’t even get up, I might be sick."

Lou Lan squinted her eyes, being a doctor, after the initial concern and lack of composure, she calmed down and noticed something unusual.
