"More or less?"
Zhao Luzheng clicked his tongue.
From what Third Brother was saying, Taotie could actually eat even more?
That was ridiculous.
"...It's so small..."
Zhao Luzheng remembered it very clearly.
Though he'd been scared at the time,
he still had a vague impression of what Taotie looked like.
A tiny little thing,
