She subconsciously raised her head and looked around, but she didn't see a single figure, only the sound of leaves whirling outside the window.
Did you hear it wrong?
Looking down at the male doll lying on the ground, Ye Taotao pursed her lips, stretched out a chubby finger, and poked it gently.
"You can't be the one talking, right?"
The male doll was motionless, just like any ordinary doll, nothing surprising.
It’s so strange. Could it be that I really heard it wrong?
Ye Taotao shuddered and rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. She always felt something strange that was indescribable.
Anyway, there can't be any ghosts, right?
And...and she's not afraid of ghosts now!
When she left Ji Zhong, the wedding lady gave her a lantern and said that she could go back at any time with the lantern.
With the support of the bride who is even afraid of ghosts, she is not afraid of these little ghosts...well, she is still a little afraid.
Ye Taotao pursed her lips, looked around cautiously, and said with a stern voice: "You, don't try to scare me, I'm very powerful! Be careful I eat you!"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and showed his little baby teeth that had just grown in. They looked fierce.
"Don't, don't eat us." The thin voice sounded again.
Ye Taotao was startled and subconsciously jumped back. Her scarlet eyes widened and the hairs all over her body stood up.
"You, you, you, you..." He stuttered and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
The male doll who had fallen to the ground suddenly blinked, and there were tears in Hei Liuli's eyes. At the same time, a crying voice sounded in Ye Taotao's mind.
"Don't eat us...wuwuwu..."
"Stop crying," another voice followed, yelling at the boy impatiently, and then said to Ye Taotao, "We can do a lot for you, so don't eat us."
Ye Taotao looked at the male doll, then at the female doll, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "It turns out it's not a ghost..."
Wait, it’s weird that the doll can talk, okay?
The hair all over Ye Taotao's body suddenly stood on end.
No... this is the world of cultivation. Even animals can talk. There's nothing wrong with dolls talking, right?
The hair all over my body became smooth again.
Ye Taotao found a good reason for herself, squatted down, carefully picked up the male doll on the ground, and placed it next to the female doll.
"Are you...alive?" Ye Taotao smacked her fingers with a curious look on her face.
Girl doll: "It's not alive."
Male doll: "It's puppetry."
"What is puppetry?" Ye Taotao asked.
Both dolls refused to explain.
The female doll thought for a while and said, "We can help you do a lot of things."
The male doll said: "Whatever you want to do, we will help you...but, can you give me new clothes?"
After a pause, he thought of the curtain cloth again, and quickly added: "I want brocade satin!"
Ye Taotao didn't know what Jinyun Satin was at all, but the name sounded like it was very expensive. She didn't know if Bai Xin could afford it.
"Jin Yun Duan, no." A figure suddenly appeared behind Ye Taotao and spoke in a low voice.
Ye Taotao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
"Big fish!" Ye Taotao cheered.
After the previous battle at Jizhong, Linyi disappeared. She thought Linyi was gone.
Linyi reached out and gently rubbed her little head, and slowly uttered two words: "Baby."
His beautiful fish tail disappeared, and he stood with bare feet on the ground. His body was only covered with a layer of gauze flowing with colorful rays of light, and his long blue hair was thickly spread down, giving him a dreamy beauty.
Ye Taotao's face control attribute received a critical hit of 10,000 points.
After a long while, Ye Taotao came back to her senses and remembered to ask him why he appeared here, "Aren't you staying in the courtyard of the inn?"
Linyi opened his two blank eyes, "looking" at Ye Taotao, and said stiffly: "Don't worry, baby."
Ye Taotao looked into his eyes, frowned worriedly, and whispered: "But you... you can't see..."
He secretly followed them all the way without being seen. It must be very difficult, right?
"How about you come with us!" Ye Taotao suggested.
But Linyi shook his head, lowered his eyelids, and showed a refusal.
"Don't you want to be with us?" Ye Taotao was extremely disappointed.
"Follow, baby, protect." Linyi jumped out with two words.
Ye Taotao understood, it turned out that he wanted to follow her secretly.
Linyi touched the little monster's head and continued to explain: "Together, it's dangerous."
Directly following the baby and exposing it to others will also bring danger to the baby.
Ye Taotao had no choice but to nod her head, no longer forcing herself, "Okay then."
Suddenly he remembered that the scales on the big fish's tail had fallen off, and wondered what it would look like after turning into a human form? Ye Taotao lowered his head and looked at Linyi's legs.
Linyi's legs were mottled with countless deep and shallow scars, like white jade with flaws.
"Does your leg hurt?" the little monster asked distressedly.
Linyi was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly shook his head.
Seeing him shaking his head, Ye Taotao felt relieved, but couldn't help but said happily: "I asked Brother Xiao Yan to refine a pill that can grow new scales for you!"
Thinking of the alchemist, Linyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He originally thought that Xiao Yan would not be able to help but use the flesh and blood of the sharks as medicine after leaving him behind, but... after so many days, Xiao Yan has not done that.
In fact, Xiao Yan thought very simply - firstly, he already had the strange fire, and the quality of the elixir he refined was already good enough, so there was no need to rely on these heresy; secondly, the little monster liked this shark so much,
Do you want him to cut his flesh and bleed it in front of the little monster?
However, fortunately Xiao Yan did not take action, otherwise...
Linyi narrowed his eyes slightly. Even if he was seriously injured, he would kill Xiao Yan and Bai Xin and take the baby away by force.
Showing a gentle smile to the baby, Linyi "looked" at the pair of dolls sitting on the table.
Ye Taotao thought the two dolls were ceramics, but Linyi immediately felt that they were bone china, and they were a pair of dolls made by grinding the bones of two underage children, a boy and a girl, into powder.
This is indeed a puppet technique, but it is not an ordinary puppet technique.
Living people were used as raw materials, and the lives and souls of the entire family were used as sacrifices to refine a man and a woman from the direct lineage into such a pair of extremely sinister dolls, which shows the cruelty of the person behind them.
But, how could such a precious doll fall into the hands of the baby by such a coincidence?
