The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1708: They Will Be Fine

Hua Jinyan looked in the direction of the candle and then at the ancient costume ghost lunging crazily at Feng Qi, biting wildly like a mad dog, and instantly grasped the situation.

Little Taotie was worried that the spiritual bodies of the three colleagues had already been devoured by this ancient costume ghost.

Taking a deep breath, Hua Jinyan had the same fleeting suspicion.

He was more rational and didn’t comfort himself by saying he was overthinking; instead, he focused on the flame, seeking an answer.

"Let’s go over and take a look." Hua Jinyan walked toward the three candles.

Little Taotie reached out to stop him, "We can’t get close, they’ll go out—"

The sentence abruptly stopped.

At this moment, Hua Jinyan was very close to the three candles, yet there was no strange wind, and the flames on the three candles remained unchanged.

"Strange, why isn’t there any wind?" Little Taotie followed, standing behind Hua Jinyan, poking her head out to carefully observe the three candles. Her breathing was light and slow, fearing she might inadvertently blow out the candles.

Hua Jinyan looked thoughtfully at the ancient costume ghost fighting with Feng Qi.

Initially, when they approached the three candles, the strange wind must have been caused by her, but now she’s preoccupied, so she’s no longer making wind.

This suggests she doesn’t want anyone to take the candles.

Without anything and without necessity, why prevent others from taking the candles?

Then there’s only one possibility: there’s something in the candles or flames she needs, but the time isn’t right for her to retrieve it.

Could it be similar to the concept of a seven-day mourning period for the dead, waiting for a time to devour?

Or choose a time when the devouring would be more effective.

Lou Lan arrived at Shen Cang’s top-floor office, and Shen Cang anticipated her return, asking, "Finished taking on disciples?"

"She calls me teacher."

"Not answering directly doesn’t count."

Lou Lan pouted, "You don’t miss anything; mainly, I feel the title of master and disciple is meaningless. I can teach her some skills as a teacher; that’s what’s practical."

"Since when have you been so understanding? That’s not like you."

"Stop mocking me."

"Speak honestly."

Lou Lan sighed, "I feel I can teach her skills and hear her call me teacher, but I’m not qualified for her to call me master. Do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Cang met her gaze deeply, nodding slightly, "I understand."

"You understand?"

"Isn’t it just self-doubt?"

"Hey, make it clear, who’s self-doubting? I’m just being modest! Modest!"

"Stop yelling; I can hear you, lower your voice."

"Am I the one shouting, or are you provoking me!"

Shen Cang shrugged, "Fine, I get it. If you have nothing else, leave and don’t disturb my work."

Lou Lan rolled her eyes, "Pretending, you’re just pretending! When I came in earlier, I saw you reading comics, don’t think I didn’t see you hide them in the drawer."

Little Taotie asked, "You don’t remember anything? You’re so pitiful!"

The general teacher’s response was unknown, but Little Taotie’s eyes appeared even more sympathetic.

The little girl patted her chest, reassuringly, "Don’t worry, my teacher and I will definitely help you find the one who harmed you; then you can reincarnate."

"What? You’re worried about becoming a little dog or cat, or worse, Zhu Bajie?"

"No way, you’re not an Evil Spirit, and you’re very clean, without any resentment; you’ll definitely be human in your next life."

"I know a young ghost messenger who told me clean spiritual bodies usually reincarnate as humans, so don’t worry, don’t worry."

Lou Lan heard the whole conversation, feeling amused and helpless. Is this girl trying to fool the ghost?
