After Wu Qian threw Tiantian out, she noticed that the Evil Spirit had frozen in place.
Although she had no idea why, she immediately realized this was the perfect chance to escape its clutches!
But just as she was about to act, the Evil Spirit suddenly moved again!
Its razor-sharp claws kept tearing at the Doll Costume she wore.
Seeing that she was about to meet a gruesome end, she finally remembered to beg for mercy:
"Lord Evil Spirit! Please, I lost my mind just now! I was talking nonsense in front of you!"
"Please spare my life! I'll pay you for playing ring toss!"
At those words, the Evil Spirit stallholder really did stop tearing.
Its eerie green eyes regarded her uncertainly.
Fuck, does this bitch really have ten thousand Spirit Coins on her?!
No!
I can't let her escape!
Otherwise, Lord Sky Dog won't spare me!
At that thought, the Evil Spirit stallholder immediately said viciously:
"You're willing to pay? Fine! A hundred thousand Spirit Coins!"
"What?!" Hearing that terrifying price, Wu Qian cried out in shock, her voice trembling with fear. "Wasn't it only ten thousand Spirit Coins just now..."
Before she could finish, the Evil Spirit stallholder let out a shrill roar:
"Shut up! It was ten thousand Spirit Coins before, but the price has gone up!"
"For every second you fail to pay, the price doubles!"
"Now it's two hundred thousand!"
Hearing that figure, Wu Qian sank into utter despair.
Forget two hundred thousand Spirit Coins-she didn't even have ten thousand!
She had only said that earlier to save her life.
"T-two hundred thousand Spirit Coins... I, I..."
She desperately wanted to say she was willing to pay.
But the problem was, that was two hundred thousand Spirit Coins-a full two billion in real-world currency!
Since she had started out, including three years of marriage scams, she had earned a mere two hundred Spirit Coins!
After giving her accomplices their shares, she had less than fifty Spirit Coins left!
Yet this Evil Spirit demanded two hundred thousand right off the bat!
Even if she wore herself out selling her body, she could never earn that much!
Seeing the panic on her face, the Evil Spirit immediately understood that this woman couldn't possibly pay.
It wasted no more words and sank its teeth into Wu Qian's arm!
Its mouthful of fangs pierced her flesh and punched through the bone in an instant!
The excruciating pain made Wu Qian scream miserably and struggle on instinct.
But the moment she moved, another stab of searing pain shot through her arm, nearly making her pass out.
Then, at that very moment, the Evil Spirit jerked its jaws and ripped off a huge chunk of flesh!
Just as Wu Qian was about to lose consciousness, she let out another piercing scream.
The overwhelming pain sent her rolling back and forth on the ground.
Seeing her agony, the Evil Spirit's blood-red mouth curled into a satisfied grin.
Then its throat worked, and with a gulp, it swallowed the chunk of flesh.
But a moment later, its expression twisted as though it could barely stomach it:
"Ptooey! You filthy bitch, what the hell have you been doing?! Your meat stinks!"
The Evil Spirit spoke with a look of utter disgust.
But it wasn't saying that just to insult Wu Qian. Her flesh really did reek!
Evil Spirits had an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
The flesh they least wanted to eat was that of promiscuous people.
With so many sexual partners, not only were the scents on their bodies all mixed up, but their blood might even contain viruses!
Although Evil Spirits couldn't catch those diseases, the foul stench still made them feel utterly sick!
That was also why they preferred eating male and female virgins.
Having never had sex, those virgins had flesh that was not only sweet and delicious, but nourishing as well.
If Evil Spirits ate it year after year, their cultivation would keep soaring even without training!
Although Wu Qian's flesh certainly couldn't increase its cultivation,
the Evil Spirit stallholder had figured that, since Wu Qian was so young, even if her flesh wasn't quite that sweet, it couldn't be much worse.
It had never expected that a single bite would nearly make it throw up last year's meals.
Worst of all, it had even tasted a trace of an earthy stench.
Isn't that the fucking smell you only get on dogs?!
A woman this extraordinary truly was a once-in-a-century find!
"What fucking rotten luck!"
"I finally get a bite of human meat, and I end up with a nasty piece of work like you!"
The Evil Spirit stallholder stood up, cursing, and spat every scrap of flesh remaining in its mouth onto the ground.
Then its eyes shifted, as though it had suddenly thought of something.
It bent down, slung Wu Qian over its shoulder, and quickly headed back to the stall.
When it reached the front row of ring toss prizes, it swept its hand and put them all away.
Then it slammed Wu Qian down in the spot where the prizes had been!
"Ugh..."
The intense pain drew a muffled groan from Wu Qian. She felt as though her body was about to fall apart.
Through her blurred vision, she saw the Evil Spirit stallholder holding a sign and writing something on it.
But hearing its strange chuckles from time to time sent chills through her.
Finally, about half a minute later,
the Evil Spirit stallholder came over carrying the sign, then drove it firmly into the ground in front of her.
Although terrified, Wu Qian couldn't help stealing a glance, wanting to see what it had written.
That glance filled her heart with horror the very next instant.
The sign read: Free ring toss today, with a special grand prize! Whatever body part you land a ring on is yours to take!
A special grand prize? Body parts?
Does it mean me?!
Staring at those two lines of bloody writing, Wu Qian felt a chill run down her back and was overwhelmed with terror!
Especially when she saw the surrounding Evil Spirits gradually gathering around.
She was so terrified that she nearly lost her mind!
"Please! Honorable Evil Spirit! I'll do anything you want! Just spare my life!"
Wu Qian grabbed the Evil Spirit stallholder's ankle and pleaded desperately.
To her surprise, the Evil Spirit stallholder kicked her hand away in disgust and snorted coldly:
"You'll do anything, will you? Fine, then I won't take your life."
With that, it continued writing on the sign.
But by then, Wu Qian had no attention left to spare for what the Evil Spirit stallholder was doing.
Hearing that it would spare her life had already brought her to tears of joy.
But when the Evil Spirit finished its final stroke, she instinctively looked up. Her breath caught, and her entire body began trembling violently!
The final line on the sign read: When tossing rings for the puppet prize, you must start with the limbs!
Just then, an Evil Spirit asked in surprise:
"Old He, is ring toss free today?"
"Yes! Free!" the Evil Spirit stallholder said with a sweeping gesture.
Another Evil Spirit glanced at Wu Qian on the ground and asked:
"Is this a prize too?"
"Obviously!" Irritated by the questions, the Evil Spirit stallholder snapped, "Are you playing or not?"
"Yes!" several Evil Spirits answered in unison.
They couldn't care less about free ring toss, but winning human flesh was another matter entirely!
Even if it was only the limbs, a woman this young was bound to taste good!
It would make a nice little treat!
