The moment Tang Xiaoling left the Haunted House, she saw an elegantly poised woman in luxurious clothes standing at the entrance.
The woman's face, in particular, was very beautiful.
She wasn't as pretty as Mommy, but she was definitely the type Daddy always loved to stare at when he went out!
"Auntie, you're so pretty!"
"If Daddy saw you, he'd definitely like you!"
Tang Xiaoling's words were startling.
Lady Ten, who had spent ages preparing what to say, was instantly struck speechless and stood rooted to the spot.
What does the little princess mean?
Could she be passing along some message from the Ghost Emperor?
But that can't be right. I pursued him for so long back then, and he never accepted me.
Has he changed his mind?
But Lady Ten quickly dismissed the thought.
From what she knew of the Ghost Emperor, he would never take a fancy to a married woman like her.
The princess was probably just too young and had said it without thinking.
"Prin... Lingling, hello. My name is Lady Ten. You can call me Auntie."
Her thoughts thrown into disarray, Lady Ten was at a loss and awkwardly gave this stiff introduction.
Under normal etiquette, she should have knelt to pay her respects and addressed her as Princess.
But the Ghost Emperor had already ordered them not to reveal their identities lightly.
Left with no choice, she could only address her by her nickname.
"Lady Ten? Oh! I know you!" Tang Xiaoling seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly said:
"Grandma Zhao told me to come to the Haunted House and find you if I ran into any bad people."
"But I haven't run into any bad people yet. Why are you here already?"
Hearing this, Lady Ten was once again tongue-tied, unsure how to explain.
Mostly, she hadn't expected Old Lady Zhao to have mentioned her to Tang Xiaoling.
Fortunately, a sudden flash of inspiration gave her an excuse:
"Lingling, you've actually already met a bad person."
"Do you remember the person who scared you in the Haunted House just now?"
"He deliberately hid there just to frighten you."
Hearing that, Tang Xiaoling immediately recalled the terrifying scene in the Haunted House.
A flicker of fear involuntarily crossed her big eyes.
Clearly, Lin Feng's scare had left her with quite a psychological scar.
"That man is such a meanie! He actually scared Lingling!"
"He made me cry for ages, and I'm still scared!"
Tang Xiaoling pouted, looking thoroughly indignant.
The fear in her eyes turned into a sense of hurt.
She couldn't understand why that man had scared her for no reason.
She hadn't done anything to upset him!
Was he trying to play with me?
But that wasn't fun at all!
The little girl was truly angry this time.
It could even be said that Lin Feng had hurt her far more than Li Zhuang had!
In Tang Xiaoling's view, she had initially thought Li Zhuang was awful for taking her card.
But once she started going on the rides, she discovered they really were free!
Only the ring toss seemed not to be included among the free attractions.
Because of that, she actually didn't dislike Li Zhuang so much anymore.
But Lin Feng's actions had truly frightened her badly.
If Tiantian hadn't rushed over in time to comfort her, she would still have been on the ground bawling!
Lady Ten also noticed the anger in Tang Xiaoling's eyes, and murderous intent immediately surged within her.
You've got some nerve, Lin Feng!
Once I've taken the princess to eat, I'll come settle the score with you!
At that moment, Lady Ten decided she would arrange a special rules-based game just for Lin Feng that evening!
As for the location, the Haunted House was the obvious choice!
She would let Lin Feng experience what it felt like to be terrified, too!
Having made up her mind, Lady Ten walked up to Tang Xiaoling and gently stroked her hair as she said:
"Lingling, are you hungry? Shall I take you to get something to eat?"
The moment she heard there was food, Tang Xiaoling perked up.
"Yes! Lingling's been hungry for ages. Thank you, Auntie!"
To her, Grandma Zhao was such a kind person that this Lady Ten she had mentioned must be very kind, too.
So she had no wariness at all and readily agreed.
Lady Ten smiled gently, stood up, and took Tang Xiaoling's chubby little hand, leading her toward the cafeteria.
About ten minutes later, the two reached their destination.
At a glance, Tang Xiaoling saw a crowd gathered outside and couldn't help saying worriedly:
"There are so many people. It looks like we'll have to wait in line for ages."
By now, she was ravenous and felt as if she could eat an entire cow.
But with so many people in line, she had no idea how long she would have to wait.
Hearing the worry in Tang Xiaoling's voice, Lady Ten immediately smiled and said:
"Don't worry. With me here, you won't have to line up."
As she spoke, she looked at the Evil Spirits and immediately transmitted a message to them:
"Disperse at once. Do not disturb the princess!"
The Evil Spirits, who had been waiting to welcome the Lady, suddenly heard her transmitted message and froze.
When they saw her holding a little girl's hand, puzzled expressions appeared on all their faces.
Princess?
Could she be the Lady's daughter?
But that can't be right. We never heard anything about the Lady being pregnant!
Still, seeing the two about to approach, the Evil Spirits didn't dare delay and immediately scattered.
Only a few players remained outside the cafeteria, which had been packed a moment earlier.
The few who had been too afraid to enter froze at this sudden turn of events.
But when they saw an Evil Spirit approaching with Tang Xiaoling by the hand, they were instantly dumbfounded.
What's going on?
How did this little girl end up with an Evil Spirit?!
Wait!
This is the cafeteria!
Could this Evil Spirit be looking for a better meal and have brought Tang Xiaoling here to be prepared?
But why did all the other Evil Spirits run off?
Shouldn't they share the meal when something this good comes along?
Could it be because this Evil Spirit's level is too high?
For a moment, questions filled all their minds.
Finally, to figure out what was happening, they all began inspecting Lady Ten's information without needing to consult one another.
But the moment they looked, their faces turned deathly pale with horror.
The girl named Roman even fainted outright from fright!
[Evil Spirit: Rakshasa Lady Ten!] [Cultivation: ???] [Level: Lord-Level! (Ghost General Cultivation)] [Warning: Players, move away immediately. This Evil Spirit can ignore the rules and kill any human or Evil Spirit!]
Seeing this stats panel, Li Zhuang and the others turned and fled in panic without the slightest hesitation!
As for Roman lying on the ground, no one paid her any attention!
But it wasn't just them. Even the viewers watching the livestream were completely stunned!
"Holy shit! She can ignore the rules? Isn't this a beginner instance?! How can there be such a terrifying Evil Spirit?!"
"Seriously, this is the first time I've ever seen such a terrifying stats panel!"
"Wait a second! Why is a Lord-Level Evil Spirit leading Tang Xiaoling around? Are they going to eat?"
"They're going to eat, sure, but who's eating whom is another question!"
"How about a bet?"
"You above me have no fucking shame, huh? Haven't you been scammed enough?"
"No need to bet. I'll predict it right now: Tang Xiaoling will definitely be fine!"
"Come on, Mr. Prophet. Tell us your reasoning so I can have a laugh!"
"Heh, I'm afraid you won't be laughing. Haven't you noticed? When Tang Xiaoling entered the Haunted House, aside from being scared by the player Lin Feng, no Evil Spirit scared her at all. Think about that. Really think about it!"
