C30 (1/2)

I was caught off guard by Tathagata's words. What did he mean?

Just as I was about to ask him, he seemed to have found something and walked towards a certain direction.

He walked to the place where he was previously at and picked up an item from the ground. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. I could clearly see the smile on his face.

This is the first time I saw him smile! Previously, he would sneer at me, but that wasn't a real smile. But now, I saw his smile.

To be honest, his smile was especially beautiful. It looked much better than his stiff face.

Tathagata looked carefully at the object in his hand and played with it. I discovered that it was a fan. However, it was a very small and very delicate fan.

I'm surprised that he picked it up from the place where she was just staying. That is to say, it could have been warm.

”I didn't expect that there would be such a treasure in Gentle Snow's possession. Furthermore, it was all given to me by mistake. ”It seems like the heavens are really helping me.”

Tathagata continued talking to himself, his eyes glued to the fan as they slowly filled with greed.

From this, I can come to the conclusion that this fan is really a treasure.

I started to get curious and unconsciously walked over. ”What is this thing?” How could there be such a fan? ”

When I got closer, I could see that the fan in his hand had a painting of a woman who looked exactly like me. However, that woman was dressed in ancient clothing, and the color of the fan was eye-catching red. It looked like human blood.

Tathagata hurriedly put the fan in his pocket. It was no wonder that this fan was only the size of an apple. It could really be called a pocket-sized fan.

”What has it got to do with you? ”Hurry and leave this place with me.” After hearing my words, Tathagata's expression immediately returned to its original state.

However, even though I felt a little uncomfortable inside, I had already gotten used to it.

Tathagata's speed has always been so fast. Before I could react, he had already traveled a large distance.

When he reached the door, something unexpected happened.

Just as I was thinking that I could finally leave this place that made me feel repressed, I didn't expect to experience such extreme joy and sadness. A large black wolfdog pounced towards me.

I was so scared that my beautiful face paled. Ignoring my ladylike demeanor, I shouted loudly, ”Save me! Tathagata, quickly come and save me!”

But all of this happened too fast. By the time Tathagata arrived, I was already on the ground by the big wolfdog's pounce. Moreover, its mouth had a fishy taste to it, and I thought to myself, It's over, looks like I'm really going to lose my soul this time, isn't it?

Perhaps this was the legendary soul breaking away from the soul.

Only when I closed my eyes and waited for the tearing pain, I realized there was no more.

I felt something was wrong. The dog had already pounced on me.

I tried to open my eyes, but something strange happened.

That big wolfdog is currently lying on my body but it isn't moving at all. That look in its eyes is filled with sadness and fear.

Can I understand it as being afraid of me?

That's what I was thinking at the moment. It looked like it was trembling.

While I was still in a daze, the dog whimpered a few times. However, I was scared silly by the sound.

The sound of the dog's bark reached my ears. It was the sound of a human voice, and it was a complete sentence.

I'm as dumb as a wooden chicken.

”Am I bewitched?” I mumbled to myself. Maybe it was really like that. Otherwise, how could I hear a dog barking like a human's voice?

”Go away, Alley. You're too rude. Go back to where you belong.”

Then Tathagata came up and patted the head of the dog called Alley. The dog, to say the least, was obedient enough to get up from my body.

Just as I was about to heave a sigh of relief, it turned around to shout back at me after a few steps.

I was about to stand up, but the sound scared me out of my wits again.

Heavens!

I found myself hearing voices again.

The dog seemed to have said, ”You have to watch out for someone around you.”

Was it an illusion or was it real?

I really don't know. I feel like my head is getting bigger.

Tathagata looked at the dumbstruck me and unhappily said, ”Let's go. Don't tell me that you're still waiting for Alec to bite you?”

I quickly stood up from the ground.

Tathagata glanced at me and walked out of the house first.

He was finally out.

Finally, I was able to leave this depressing place.

Tathagata walked extremely fast. Even though I wanted to follow him as fast as I could, I was still unable to keep up with him.

”Can you walk a little slower? I can't keep up with you! And most importantly, I've just sprained my ankle. ”

I'm not lying. What I said was the truth. I was walking in a rush and tripped over a rock.

”Can you cut the crap?” If you want to be captured by Old Hu on the Fierce Tiger Slope in front of you, then stop talking here. ”

”Tiger Slope?” I asked in astonishment, ”Why didn't you mention it when we came here?”

”That is the path that I have come from, the path that I have come back from. Naturally, I have taken a different path.”

”But you clearly know that passing through Tiger Slope is dangerous, so why didn't you turn back the same way?”
