Chapter 1988 – Adorable Human Being (4)
In the dead of the night, after a day’s journey and a night’s disturbance, the undead teenagers finally entered their dreams.
Shile and Zhanye placed Taotie in their tent. Once Shile and Zhanye slept soundly, Taotie (who had been snoring all this time) suddenly opened his eyes. Then, his little body turned into a mist in the darkness and floated out of the tent, drifting to another tent in the camp.
Inside the tent, Shen Yanxiao was looking at the books in her hand under the brilliance of the light-congealing crystal when she noticed a familiar aura. She looked up and saw the dark mist condensing into a human figure in front of her eyes.
Taotie, with a sad face, fell into Shen Yanxiao’s arms for comfort as soon as he saw her.
Since Shen Yanxiao was ready to bring the Flaming Red Squad to the Forest of Death, she had already concocted a good plan. Instead of brainwashing them orally, she should let these teenagers have contact with other races personally and let them gradually find that the undead and other races could develop a harmonious relationship.
What Shen Yanxiao needed most was… a race other than the undead!
Taotie in her body was then targeted by her.
The dark aura within Taotie was similar to the death energy of the undead in essence, and his strength had far exceeded that of these undead teenagers. As long as he deliberately concealed his own aura, Zhanye and the others would never find any abnormality from him.
Letting Taotie incarnate as a human child, and enter the camp by accident…
What would happen next was logical.
Although the beast form of Taotie was a little ferocious, when it came to his human form, its endearingness was so explosive; otherwise, Shen Yanxiao would not spoil him to the heavens.
Faced with such a soft and adorable little fellow, it must be easier for those undead teenagers to put down their guard and initiate contact with this human being with a different mindset.
The effect of this plan was better than Shen Yanxiao had expected.
At that time, Taotie was behind Zhanye and the others. How could Shen Yanxiao not know?
It was just, she did not think that this group of undead teenagers would choose to protect a human child in the first moment.
“You’ve worked hard. What did they say?” Shen Yanxiao rubbed Taotie’s little head. As a foodie who only knew to eat all day long, having Taotie come out to put on an act was really a very difficult thing. If he were to be replaced by Vermillion Bird…
With such a task that was so familiar, he could do it with his hands tied behind his back!
Vermillion Bird had even played as a bandit once before; what could he not play?
Taotie acted like a spoiled child for a moment. Shen Yanxiao threw him two fruits, which made him satisfied. He then conveyed the words that had passed between Zhanye and his team to Shen Yanxiao.
She listened quietly with a slight smile in her eyes.
Sure enough, she did not misjudge these brats. Although they were still not fully grown, they had an upright heart. So even the undead possessed an attitude of respect for the living beings in the world.
From their decision to protect Taotie, it was not difficult to see that in the minds of the members of the Flaming Red Squad, this human child had the right to live just like them. They didn’t want to deprive him of it arbitrarily.
“It isn’t too late.” Shen Yanxiao stroked her chin.
“Master, what am I going to do next?” Taotie sat on the bed with a plate of food atop his lap, staring at Shen Yanxiao.
“You go back and do nothing.” Shen Yanxiao answered.
“Ah? Do I still have to go? But… I want to stay with master. What if you are in danger?” Taotie looked at Shen Yanxiao with a look of grievance.
“Nothing will happen.” Shen Yanxiao touched Tatoie’s small face. The plan of brainwashing the Flaming Red Squad, from top to bottom, had all taken shape in her mind.
