The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1706: Malicious Fungi

"Ah, a sweet-talking little girl. You’re much prettier than me, a natural beauty. You’ll be stunning when you grow up."

Little Taotie pressed her lips together, not feeling happy from the other’s words, but instinctively took a step back.

Although the flowers atop the Ghost’s head only rarely appear, sometimes when you stare closely or when the Ghost has a strong affection for you, they do show up.

At this moment, the ancient costume lady complimenting her does not have any flowers on her head. Not only are there no beautiful flowers, but black mushroom-like plants indicating malice are appearing.

She’s seen these black mushroom-like plants on malicious people several times, each time filled with malice, never benevolence.

Someone who praises you but is actually filled with malice can’t possibly be a good person!

Little Taotie became more alert, fearing that this seemingly pretty ancient costume lady would turn into a monster with a ghastly face the next moment.

It’s not unusual for ancient Ghosts to appear in these ancient buildings. Most ancient Ghosts exist in the world by hiding in ancient buildings, without disappearing.

If these ancient Ghosts could obtain some cultivation techniques, they could surpass the Ghost King in no time. They’ve been around for over a thousand years; how could they not be strong?

Little Taotie tensed, ready to strike at any moment.

Hua Jinyan noticed Little Taotie slightly arching her back.

With Little Taotie acting this way, it’s clear this Ghost isn’t anything good, at least not as gentle and kind as she appears.

She’s a cunning person wrapped in a pretty, gentle facade, lowering people’s guard.

Hua Jinyan instinctively grasped the Rainbow Relic tightly, his gaze turned grim.

The ancient costume Ghost wanted to get closer to them, waiting for them to lower their guard and dealing with them effortlessly, but seeing them on high alert now, the ancient costume Ghost shook her head and chuckled: "Though young, your wits aren’t small. I hate cunning kids, they make me envious!"

A mysterious wind swept in from somewhere, the flames of the candles flickered in the wind, but fortunately, they didn’t extinguish.

The wind lifted half of the woman’s loose hair, and the flying hair started to grow.

Little Taotie took a step back, a suffocating feeling welled up from within.

Between them, the hair turned into vines!

Like saplings sprouting from withered branches, they rapidly grew, turning into vines that, in the dream, wrapped tightly around her neck.

Hua Jinyan grasped Little Taotie’s hand, applying some force.

Little Taotie felt a bit of pain, snapped back to reality.

Her eyes held a trace of confusion: "Is this a dream or reality?"

"Not a dream! This might be the true form of the withered branch!" Hua Jinyan shouted.

Hua Jinyan furrowed his brows.

The ancient costume Ghost laughed wantonly, "Haha, I am not!"

Little Taotie took out the Horse-Faced Bell from her small pouch.

The Horse-Faced Bell began to shake, seemingly caught by the wind caused by the ancient costume Ghost.

"Tsk, it’s gotten stronger, what have you fed it?" the ancient costume Ghost asked.

The Horse-Faced Bell suddenly broke free from Little Taotie’s hand, like a Meteor Hammer, smashing toward the woman’s forehead. The woman turned aside to dodge, her gaze instantly became fierce, the innocuousness and gentleness vanished, a dense black aura emerged beneath her eyes, the whites of her eyes were gradually assimilated by the pupils.

The frenzied Horse-Faced Bell attacked, but in front of the ancient costume Ghost, it was like a headless fly, laughable and foolish.
