Chapter 2012: Learned While Playing Chess
In fact, Little Taotie was also confused when she landed, feeling Feng Qi’s large tail sweeping over, then a gentle breeze blew by, and she was on the ground.
As she ran, Little Taotie asked, "How did you do that?"
The fiery red fox nestled lazily on Little Taotie’s shoulder yawned: "I used a bit of spiritual power to teleport with you."
"Teleport?"
"He was momentarily distracted, so I took the opportunity to teleport with you through a tiny gap."
"You’re amazing."
"Of course, I am the Princess of Qingqiu!"
Little Taotie ran for a while and heard footsteps behind her; it should be the two chasing them, so she moved her little legs more vigorously.
Hua Jinyan looked over, saw her panting from running, and gave her a gentle smile, his previous cold and murderous expression had long vanished.
He stretched his arms towards Little Taotie.
Little Taotie ran straight to him, diving into his embrace.
"Huahua, are you okay?"
Hua Jinyan patted her head gently: "I’m fine."
Little Taotie frowned: "You’re messing up my hair."
Hua Jinyan withdrew his hand and chuckled: "I’ll help you redo it."
Little Taotie gave him a disdainful look: "No way, you’re terrible at doing hair."
Feng Qi covered her face with her paw: "The enemies are charging in, can you both be serious?"
Hua Jinyan glanced indifferently at the two already rushing over and whispered: "Kill."
A formidable killing intent surged forward, causing the two to retreat rapidly.
The sound of cutting through the air passed by, and the two had no doubt, if they’d retreated one step slower, their heads would have been split in half by the fierce wind.
"Too sinister."
"Feels like a wind blade."
"What do we do now?"
"Let’s observe further."
"Clearly, we are inside a formation."
"Try breaking the formation first."
"Break the formation? Do you understand formations?"
"I don’t."
"You don’t! Then how can you break anything!"
"It’s better than slinking away defeated."
The two retreated with weapons in hand, scrutinizing Hua Jinyan with every step.
Little Taotie turned back with innocent yet fierce eyes: "Bad guys!"
Hua Jinyan soothingly patted her head.
"I told you not to mess up my hairstyle." Little Taotie pouted and pushed his hand away.
Hua Jinyan chuckled lightly.
"Since when do you know formation techniques? Confess truthfully!"
"Learned them while playing chess."
Little Taotie, who played chess with him almost daily, was dumbfounded: "How did I not know?"
"Picked it up along the way."
Feng Qi twitched her mouth: "So you’re saying you casually learned it and set up such a powerful killing formation?"
Little Taotie fumed: "Then when did you set up the formation? I’m always with you, we never split up!"
"When you were looking at the menu, I sensed someone was tracking us, so I created a formation casually, centered at the restaurant, spanning a hundred miles."
Little Taotie grew angrier: "So you detected them following us at the restaurant?"
Hua Jinyan nodded.
"I’m too weak!" Little Taotie patted her forehead: "I didn’t sense a thing!"
Feng Qi: "Are you just going to ignore those two fellows?"
Hua Jinyan glanced at the two who were already far away, shook his head: "We don’t know their background, risking everything might not be favorable, unnecessary casualties could occur."
"So you’re just letting them go?" Feng Qi furrowed her brow: "That’s not typical of you."
Hua Jinyan’s voice was indifferent: "Leaving like this, they’ll save their lives, but if they attempt to break the formation, they might encounter deadly creatures."
