Tang Xiaoling, who knew nothing of her own strength, stared wide-eyed at the colorful ring that had flown far away.

"When did I get so strong?"

The little girl looked curiously at her small hands, her face full of confusion.

Seeing her stand there without moving, the Evil Spirit stallholder beside her began to panic.

Afraid this tasty morsel would escape, he hurriedly encouraged her:

"Kid, that was a good throw. You just used a little too much strength."

"Hold back a little this time and aim for that big bear. You'll definitely get it!"

Hearing his encouragement, Tang Xiaoling nodded firmly.

"Okay! Thank you, mister!"

Then she picked out another colorful ring, took a deep breath, and carefully tossed it.

But she was too young to control her strength properly.

This time, she used too little force, and the ring only traveled half a meter.

"This is so hard..."

Tang Xiaoling pouted, looking thoroughly unhappy.

But the Evil Spirit stallholder beside her could no longer contain his delight and burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha! It's not hard. Not hard at all!"

"See? That was easy enough to get!"

"Come on, kid. Time to settle your bill!"

"Each ring costs ten Spirit Coins. Pay up!"

Rubbing his hands together, the Evil Spirit stallholder advanced toward Tang Xiaoling, step by step.

His eyes shone with an eerie green light, brimming with greed.

Feeling wronged by his sudden demand for money, Tang Xiaoling said:

"I... I don't have any money..."

"But didn't you just say it was free and I could play as much as I wanted?"

The moment she finished speaking, the Evil Spirit stallholder bared his fangs and replied in a shrill, grating voice:

"Bullshit! I said the first ring was free!"

"You've thrown two now, so you owe me ten Spirit Coins!"

"If you can't pay, I'll take your flesh and blood instead!"

Seeing the Evil Spirit stallholder reveal his true colors, the livestream chat erupted.

"This Evil Spirit is shameless! He's even playing word games!"

"You're expecting morals from an Evil Spirit? Are you crazy, dude? Have you ever seen an Evil Spirit do charity? Even if one did, there'd definitely be some ulterior motive!"

"It's over! It's over! The little one's really done for this time! She broke the rules. She's dead for sure!"

"Not necessarily. Isn't that old Evil Spirit raising her like a venomous creature? Maybe this was planned too, and he'll show up at the crucial moment!"

"What are you thinking, commenter above? Didn't you see Tang Xiaoling break the rules? Even if that old Evil Spirit wants to protect her, there's not a damn thing he can do!"

"Exactly. Inside an instance, the rules trump everything! Whoever breaks them has only one fate: death!"

"Poor kid. In the end, she still can't escape death's clutches!"

Watching the Evil Spirit draw closer, the viewers all sighed.

They were certain that Tang Xiaoling, who had broken the rules, was doomed this time!

But just as the Evil Spirit came within one step of Tang Xiaoling, everything changed!

The previously vicious stallholder suddenly froze on the spot.

His eerie green ghost eyes locked onto the kitten at Tang Xiaoling's feet, filled with horror!

At the same time, a clear voice rang out inside his mind:

"Harm my Little Master, and die!"

Those few words carried overwhelming murderous intent!

The Evil Spirit stallholder's scalp prickled, and a chill shot straight to the crown of his head!

S-S... Lord Sky Dog!!!

Upon learning the kitten's true identity, the Evil Spirit stallholder's legs gave out, and he dropped straight to his knees.

But just as he was about to kowtow, that clear voice sounded again.

"Don't draw attention! Just make my Little Master happy!"

Hearing this, the Evil Spirit stallholder froze and looked at Tang Xiaoling in disbelief.

Her? His Little Master?

Lord Sky Dog's Little Master?!!

Wait... whose high-ranking official's kid has come here to play?

Why didn't anyone give me a heads-up?!!

As an amusement park, the place did get plenty of children of influential ghosts coming to play.

Such visits were nothing unusual.

But the Amusement Park's management usually warned the staff beforehand, afraid they might offend these honored guests.

Who could have imagined he would run into a terrifying little madam today!

"Mister, are you okay?"

Tang Xiaoling blinked in confusion, unable to understand why the man who had been so fierce a moment ago had suddenly knelt before her.

Was he doing this because I hadn't paid?

But it's only ten Spirit Coins. Surely he wouldn't go that far?

Wait!

I've seen this on TV!

He must have a child at home who needs medical treatment, so his family is really poor!

And because I played without paying, he's kneeling to beg me for the money!

Tang Xiaoling, you're such a bad girl!

"Mister, get up! I'll give you the money!"

As she spoke, Tang Xiaoling hurriedly searched her pockets.

But she had entered the instance from home without any preparation. How could she possibly have money to give him?

The Evil Spirit stallholder didn't know that, though. Thinking this little madam really meant to pay, he hastily waved his hands.

"No need! No need!"

"How could I take your money?"

"It's my fault for not explaining clearly. Yes, the first ring is free, but the second ring is half price!"

"And I like rounding things off when I do the math, so that one's free too!"

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoling scratched her head in confusion.

That's strange. Didn't he kneel because he wanted me to pay?

Why is he suddenly saying I don't have to?

Does he know Lingling didn't bring any money, so he's saying this?

No!

He's so pitiful. I have to pay him!

"Mister, Lingling has money! There are two big wardrobes at Lingling's home, and they're full of money!"

"It's all pocket money Daddy gave me. I just left in such a hurry today that I didn't bring any..."

Tang Xiaoling lowered her head in shame, like a child who had done something wrong.

When the Evil Spirit stallholder heard Tang Xiaoling say she had two wardrobes full of pocket money,

he became even more certain that this little madam was the child of a high-ranking official!

After all, what ordinary family would stuff that much money into wardrobes just to give their child pocket money?

But just as he was about to say something...

Tang Xiaoling suddenly bent down, picked Tiantian up off the ground, and held him out to the Evil Spirit stallholder.

"Oh, right, mister! Lingling can leave Tiantian with you as collateral for now."

"When I have money, I'll come back and trade you for him!"

Then, worried that the stallholder might refuse, the little girl hastily added:

"Don't worry, mister. Tiantian is my best friend. He's been with me ever since I was little."

"I won't abandon Tiantian over ten bucks!"

But by now, the Evil Spirit stallholder couldn't take in a word she was saying.

The moment Tiantian was held out in front of him, his mind had gone completely blank.

Even his heart, which had stopped beating long ago, seemed to give a violent twitch!

Mom! My dear mother!

Please stop tormenting this lowly nobody, okay?!

Even if I had the guts of a Ghost Monarch, I wouldn't dare take Lord Sky Dog!

If I really offended you just now and made you angry,

please, have mercy and give me a quick death!!!
