The more you thought about it, the scarier it became-who exactly was Tang Xiaoling's father?!

Here was a joke: a four-year-old girl had taken a stroll through a Haunted House with a hundred-percent death rate.

Everywhere she went, the atmosphere was warm and friendly.

By the time she walked out of the Haunted House, not a single Evil Spirit had frightened her. The only scare she had gotten was from a human!

One comment sent the entire internet into silence.

Earlier, they had been so focused on the wager that they had completely overlooked this.

The more they thought about it, the scarier it became!

Ever since Tang Xiaoling entered the Amusement Park, it felt as though all the Evil Spirits had been humoring her!

The old Evil Spirit at the very beginning had kept saying he would eat her.

But what had actually happened?

He had spent ages riding the Carousel with her, then killed Wu Fan outright for making Tang Xiaoling cry!

The Evil Spirit stall owner afterward had been the same.

He had clearly set a trap, and Tang Xiaoling had walked right into it.

Just when it looked like he had succeeded, he suddenly dropped to his knees!

Granted, that idiot Wu Qian had shown up midway and started a fight over the kitten.

But she, too, seemed to have died a horrific death because she had crossed Tang Xiaoling!

And the Haunted House went without saying. After a whole circuit, no Evil Spirit had scared her; a human pretending to be a ghost had instead.

What, was she actually related to the Buddha?

Two players had died over the course of the day, yet this adorable four-year-old was having a better time than anyone.

Now a lord-class Evil Spirit was even holding her hand and personally taking her to get food!

"I've thought of a possibility. Could this Evil Spirit want to eat Tang Xiaoling, and that's why she's survived until now?"

"Now that you mention it, that actually sounds possible!"

"Exactly! I think that explanation makes sense. It beats the kitten protecting its owner!"

"You mean it's easier to accept, right? But have you considered what happens if Tang Xiaoling comes out of this unharmed too?"

That last question left every viewer stumped.

Right. What if nothing happened to her again?

It seemed they had been proven wrong over and over!

Even Eerie Knowledge Explainer, whom they had once hailed as an expert, had fallen from grace because of this. They had probably already fled by now.

Could Tang Xiaoling's father really be some big shot?!

But remembering how unreliable her father had seemed, the viewers simply couldn't connect him to any important figure.

Besides, no matter how powerful someone was, they were still human, weren't they?

Surely they couldn't influence an Evil Spirit Instance?!

For a moment, every viewer felt lost in a fog of uncertainty.

Looking at Tang Xiaoling again and thinking back to her father only made them seem even more mysterious!

The once-bustling livestream chat quickly cooled down.

Now everyone had just one thought: to see whether this lord-class Evil Spirit would eat Tang Xiaoling!

If she did, that would prove she had picked Tang Xiaoling out for herself, which was why the other Evil Spirits hadn't dared touch her.

If she didn't... then who the hell cared anymore? Watching this livestream had practically burned out all their brain cells!

Meanwhile.

Tang Xiaoling watched the crowd scatter and the players flee in panic, her little face full of confusion.

"Auntie, why did they all run away? Aren't they hungry?"

Lady Ten smiled gently and said:

"They probably aren't hungry. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left."

"But this works out nicely. Now our adorable Lingling can get something to eat sooner, can't she?"

Yet Tang Xiaoling didn't seem very happy to hear that. Instead, she said worriedly:

"But if they don't eat, what if they get too hungry?"

"I can wait a little longer. Why don't we let them come back and eat?"

Although the little girl didn't know what had happened, she vaguely sensed that it had something to do with Lady Ten.

Kindhearted as she was, she worried that those uncles and aunties who had worked all day would go hungry because of her.

Lady Ten was surprised by how kind she was.

The people around her were clearly full of malice toward her, yet she still treated everyone with a pure and compassionate heart.

Perhaps this was what people meant by the innocence of a child!

"Lingling, don't worry. They won't go hungry."

"If they really are hungry, they'll come get something to eat themselves."

"Think about it. There aren't any fools in this world who would refuse to eat on an empty stomach, are there?"

The viewers: ...

We strongly suspect you're mocking the other players!

But we have no evidence, and even if we did, we wouldn't dare present it!

Tang Xiaoling thought it over seriously and decided Lady Ten had a point. Only then did she put her worries aside and say:

"Mm-hmm. You're right, Auntie."

With that, she happily headed toward the Cafeteria with Lady Ten.

But just as they reached the entrance, Tang Xiaoling spotted Roman lying on the ground and stopped again.

"Oh! This big sister fell asleep here. Won't she catch a cold?"

Lady Ten hadn't intended to concern herself with this, but after hearing Tang Xiaoling, she lowered her gaze toward Roman.

"You're right, Lingling. Sleeping on the ground can give you a cold."

"Honestly, what are the staff here doing? Don't they know to carry this young woman inside?"

That last remark was actually directed at the Evil Spirits inside the Cafeteria.

There was even a trace of anger in her voice.

She was clearly blaming the Cafeteria manager for failing to handle even such a trivial matter!

He had plainly seen the princess approaching, yet hadn't hurried to move this human out of the way!

As soon as she finished speaking, the Cafeteria manager rushed outside.

"My La-"

But just as he was about to kneel and admit his mistake, Lady Ten stopped him with a glare.

Fortunately, the Cafeteria manager was quick-witted. He immediately understood what the Lady meant and corrected himself:

"You're right to reprimand me, Lady Ten. I'll carry her inside at once."

He hurriedly bent down and hoisted Roman onto his shoulder.

But the movement roused Roman from her unconscious state.

Still groggy, she slowly opened her eyes.

And as luck would have it, her gaze met Lady Ten's...

"Aah!!!"

Roman let out a piercing scream and passed out again from sheer terror.

Her sudden scream startled not only Tang Xiaoling, but also the Cafeteria manager carrying her, making him flinch.

Already worried about being punished, he genuinely thought the Lady was about to do something to him.

He immediately dropped Roman on the ground, spun around, and fell hard to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly as he pleaded:

"My Lady, I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

"I failed in my duties. Please spare me this once!"

At the Cafeteria manager's actions, killing intent immediately flashed in Lady Ten's eyes.

She had wanted to keep her identity hidden, yet here he was, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy right in front of Tang Xiaoling!

Although her temperament had mellowed considerably in recent years.

One mustn't forget that her full name was Rakshasa Lady Ten!

That name wasn't some casual nickname. She had earned it through her sheer brutality, carving it out in bloody battle, one slash at a time!

But with Tang Xiaoling beside her, she forced herself to hold back and said darkly:

"There's nothing more for you to do here. Leave."

Hearing this, the Cafeteria manager was horrified.

He knew he had truly angered the Lady!

Just as he was about to continue pleading, an overwhelming pressure suddenly swept over him.

He instinctively looked up, meeting Lady Ten's crimson eyes.

That icy gaze seemed like a blade, plunging deep into his soul!
