Chapter 1640: Chapter 1487: Yin Yang Inn 43
The twelve Taotie clones were no match for Bai Ze; he swiftly bit their necks one by one, and they unwillingly dispersed into the heavens and earth.
After the Taotie’s demise, Bai Ze nodded at Qi Shuangshuang, and his figure vanished too, the white light scattered across the world, quickly clearing away all the remaining malevolent thoughts that the Taotie had wreaked.
This troublesome Taotie, nurtured by the malice of human hearts, was finally gone, leaving Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu to handle the aftermath.
The primary concern was that the black smoke from the Taotie’s malicious thoughts had dispersed, but the ominous Yin Sha Qi it brought forth hadn’t been eliminated.
If this Yin Sha Qi is not dispelled, it will gradually turn the area into a sinister land spawning countless evil spirits, making it eventually hard for humans to enter and filled with wandering ghosts.
Of course, with the most formidable Taotie already vanquished, dealing with the remaining Yin Sha Qi would be easier. Qi Shuangshuang casually waved her hand, causing all the ominous Qi around to start converging automatically.
Soon, the ominous Qi gathered into a massive black sphere before Qi Shuangshuang.
Just as Qi Shuangshuang was about to envelop and destroy the ominous Qi with her mana as she did before, something unexpected occurred.
A white fluffy creature jumped out of nowhere before the black sphere formed by Qi Shuangshuang’s gathered Yin Sha Qi!
As soon as the white fluffy creature appeared, it opened a disproportionately large mouth and swallowed the ominous Qi that Qi Shuangshuang had collected in one gulp.
The sudden turn of events startled both Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu, leaving them speechless, as the entity that devoured Qi Shuangshuang’s gathered ominous force looked incredibly cute!
The small creature was a palm-sized white furball with long fur, leaving them puzzled about what kind of animal it could be.
This spherical little creature had three shiny black eyes and a tiny rosy mouth.
Yet, it was this tiny mouth that, when opened, transformed into a huge maw that swallowed the human-sized ominous Qi Qi Shuangshuang had gathered in one bite.
The little creature also had a tail as long as its body, with shorter fur, which was joyfully wagging behind it like a fluff ball.
The fur on its body was incredibly long, swaying elegantly, rendering its limbs and ears invisible, making it look even more like a white fluff ball with eyes, a mouth, and a tail.
At this moment, the white fluff ball was happily squinting its three eyes, with its tiny white body pulsating as it seemed to be chewing the Yin Sha Qi it just devoured.
Even though it was a ball, it appeared to have expressions, and its squinting eyes seemed like it was savoring an exquisite delicacy, conveying a sense of happiness to anyone watching.
After swallowing the ominous Qi, the white fluff ball didn’t flee but floated in place, chewing non-stop. Li Yu, having transformed into human form, curiously reached out to grab its tail and lifted it up.
The white fluff ball didn’t resist, instead calmly glanced at Li Yu with its three eyes, letting him hold it while continuing to chew its body.
Li Yu held it up to his face out of curiosity and asked Qi Shuangshuang, "Shopkeeper, what do you think this is? It seems like a furball that has become sentient."
Qi Shuangshuang also found the furry little creature intriguing and was speculating on what animal it could be when she heard Li Yu saying it was a sentient furball, prompting her to shake her head helplessly and point at Li Yu mischievously.
"Don’t talk nonsense, what sentient furball little sprite would dare to eat Yin Sha Qi as food.
I think it is likely a cub of a powerful Divine Beast, carrying its parents’ Divine Beast aura."
As Qi Shuangshuang finished speaking, the white fluffy Tuantuan stopped chewing and gave Qi Shuangshuang three approving glances, yes, from its three eyes.
Then the white fluff Tuantuan spoke up, first shooting a disdainful look at Li Yu, then addressing Qi Shuangshuang, "You have quite the eye; you’re way better than this silly fox. I am an Ancient Divine Beast, the Taotie."
"Taotie!" Li Yu reflexively threw the white fluff Tuantuan he was holding upon hearing this. It was no wonder he reacted so strongly; he and Qi Shuangshuang had just killed a Taotie, and now another one appeared.
Though Li Yu’s reaction was instinctive, the white fluff Tuantuan felt insulted, its entire body fluffing up, making it look larger. All three eyes glaring at Li Yu, burning with fury.
"It’s Taotie! Taotie not Taotie, you illiterate, stupid fox! Not only are you illiterate, but you’ve got vision problems! A brainless, stupid fox with water in its brain! Who is that monster nurtured by human malice!"
The white fluff Tuantuan’s voice was originally soft and adorable, giving a sticky-sweet impression, but now it was shrill and somewhat piercing, revealing how infuriated it was by Li Yu.
Suddenly attacked by the white fluff Tuantuan, Li Yu got angry too, retorting venomously, "You claim to be Taotie? You look nothing like the Taotie from the stories!"
Then Li Yu eyed the puffed-up white fluff Tuantuan with a profoundly meaningful gaze, "I’ve heard that Taotie are gluttons, willing to do anything for food.
Seeing you now, fluffy without limbs or body, if you’re truly Taotie, you must have been so greedy that you ate away your own body, leaving only your head. No wonder I failed to recognize you as a Taotie."
With Li Yu’s words, the white fluff Tuantuan bounced up and down in anger, its entire body turning pink, its voice rising significantly.
"Who are you calling a glutton who gobbled up their own body! Who are you insulting, you stupid fox, are you missing a few screws in your brain! I’m only just born; this is the cub form of a Taotie, don’t you know!
Once I grow up, I’ll change form, and besides, I do have limbs and horns, just that my limbs and horns haven’t fully grown yet."
Saying this, the white fluff ball specially displayed its limbs and horns to Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu, proving its words true.
Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu leaned closer, parting the long white fur on the white fluff ball, finally discovering the two tiny rice-sized horns fully hidden in its fur.
Then, after painstakingly inspecting its long fur, they found two hooves resembling sheep’s, only as large as soybeans, and front paws identical to human hands, yet also just soy bean sized.
Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu were at a loss for words; it did have limbs and horns, but they were too small. Is the body proportion of a Taotie cub always this uncoordinated?
