This was the first ti Little Taotie saw her true colors.
Even before Qing Luan appeared, Little Taotie knew of the Mysterious Lady’s existence, yet had never seen what she looked like.
The Ghost used ghostly energy to paint; wisps of black smoke floated mid-air, creating a watercolor ink painting.
The white wall served as a canvas, displaying the ink painting even more clearly.
Fine, soft willow-leaf eyebrows, a lingering touch of lancholy between her brows; when she lifted her gaze, her eyes glistened, dense lashes slightly drooping, her high nose bridge bearing a slight cal hump, her delicate nose wings and almond-shaped face making her look very petite.
"Is this Xuan?" Feng Qi also saw the true face of the Mysterious Lady for the first ti. If it weren’t for the blue bird perched on her shoulder, he wouldn’t be sure of her identity.
Combining the Eldest Princess’s previous dream, Qing Luan has always been the mastermind behind the scenes, indicating that the real mastermind could likely be the Mysterious Lady. But after all, the Mysterious Lady is a deity; without confidence, no one wishes to imagine their enemy as a god.
Yet, ti and ti again, too many coincidences are related to Qing Luan.
This dream featuring the frozen Lion Tribe, and the disruption outside the Lion Tribe’s lands sabotaging Little Taotie’s breakthrough confirms the person is the Mysterious Lady.
That move, the War God exerted eighty percent power; clearly, the one who acted is likely a deity of the sa level. Considering Qing Luan calmly perched on her shoulder in the scene, no one else but the Mysterious Lady cos to mind.
"She looks so kind." Little Taotie closely examined the painting, unable to fathom how soone with such compassionate eyes could specifically target her.
In truth, if Little Taotie had offended her, she would accept being targeted, but she hadn’t offended her at all.
"Looking kind doesn’t an she’s truly kindhearted. There’s no shortage of hypocrites in this world." Feng Qi extended his fox paw to tap Little Taotie’s forehead lightly: "You are young and don’t understand the treacherous nature of people."
Little Taotie was unconvinced, pouting slightly: "I’m not that young anymore!"
"You’re not grown either; after all, you’re just a child!"
Thinking of the dream, where she was already a grown-up, Little Taotie envied herself from another lifeti in the dream.
The little girl sighed maturely: "It would be nice if I could grow big or small as I pleased, just like in the dream!"
In the dream, Little Taotie wished to beco a child and could beco a child, wanted to be a girl and could beco a girl, wished to turn into Little Beast Bai Bai and could transform into Little Beast Bai Bai, at will.
Feng Qi noticed her envy, and with mischievous joy, his fox eyes narrowed, a crafty gleam flashing in them.
Then Little Taotie witnessed Feng Qi perform transformations of live people, a fox, a child, a girl, and an old woman...
Little Taotie’s face scrunched up, made a soft, mischievous grunt, turned away, disinclined to deal with Feng Qi’s wicked humor.
Ghost Sister chuckled silently beside them. One was her little benefactor, the other was her ntor. It wasn’t easy to pick a side, so she chose to watch the drama unfold.
"The Blue Bird has appeared, evidently those wishing to harm you know you’re here; she might co looking. Are you afraid?" Feng Qi asked seriously.
Little Taotie shook her head: "Not afraid."
Feng Qi was surprised by the answer.
"Why not afraid?"
Little Taotie took out a Pipe Candy to eat, answered in a gentle voice: "If she were to co, she would’ve co by now. She only keeps sending the Blue Bird, clearly because she can’t co."
