After Tang Xiaoling's identity was exposed, the entire internet erupted.
Even the Ten Elders among Dragon Country's top leadership stayed awake all night.
Almost everyone sat in front of their computers, waiting anxiously.
Then, the following morning, the livestream resumed...
Tang Xiaoling sat up in bed, still bleary-eyed. Looking around the luxurious, unfamiliar room, she asked in confusion:
"Where am I?"
As she looked around, she soon spotted Tiantian and the Cloth Doll beside her.
Only then did the little girl remember that she was inside an instance!
"The Amusement Park!"
Tang Xiaoling cried out, her face brimming with excitement.
She immediately scooped the still-sleeping Tiantian into her arms, grabbed the Cloth Doll, and got up, ready to run outside and play to her heart's content.
But just as she jumped off the bed, the door slowly opened.
Lady Ten walked in with a smile, pushing a serving cart.
"Little princess, you're up so early! You must be hungry. Come and have something to eat."
As she spoke, she pushed the cart right up to her.
Tang Xiaoling had wanted to go out and play, but the lavish breakfast on the cart made her swallow hungrily.
At home, she had a nanny to cook for her, but her meals were never this lavish.
Only when her dad was home did she get to eat so many delicious things.
"Thank you, Lady Ten!"
Tang Xiaoling thanked her sweetly, then tossed Tiantian and the Cloth Doll onto the bed and climbed back up herself.
Lady Ten smiled and shook her head, then took out a scarf and fastened it around Tang Xiaoling's neck.
She turned back to the cart and set the delicious dishes in front of her, one after another.
At the sight of them, Tang Xiaoling first picked up a meat bun and held it out to Lady Ten.
"Lady Ten, you eat first."
Her good manners filled Lady Ten with admiration.
As expected of a princess. She truly has the grace of royalty!
"You eat, princess. Lady Ten isn't hungry."
Lady Ten smiled gently and brought over a bowl of sweet porridge.
She scooped up a little with a spoon, blew on it to cool it, then held it to Tang Xiaoling's lips.
"Open wide. Ah~"
"Ah~"
Tang Xiaoling opened her little mouth and ate a spoonful of sweet porridge, then took a big bite of the meat bun.
The stream viewers all swallowed at the sight.
Was this really Rakshasa Lady Ten, who could kill people regardless of the rules?
So much for her dignity!
If every Evil Spirit Instance offered treatment like this, people would probably have to queue up for a lottery just to get in!
The viewers were already green with envy first thing in the morning.
Especially when they saw Rakshasa Lady Ten's beautiful face, coupled with such gentle behavior.
Many male viewers wanted nothing more than to yank Tang Xiaoling out and take her place!
"I can't take it anymore! When will Rakshasa Lady Ten treat me this gently?!"
"You're not the only one! I'd sacrifice ten years of my buddy's life for that breakfast!"
"If we're going that route, I have a younger brother who's been single since birth. If it's possible, I'd like him to stay single for the rest of his life!"
Envious though the viewers were, they all understood.
They had only themselves to blame for not having a great dad!
Otherwise, Rakshasa Lady Ten would be doing far more than feeding them breakfast right now.
At the very least, she would give them a grand welcome!
Meanwhile.
Inside one of the apartment buildings in Lasting Peace Community.
The Ten Elders looked utterly stunned, as though they had seen a ghost.
"Sh-she's feeding her already? That's Rakshasa Lady Ten!"
An elderly woman named Chen Jie spoke in disbelief.
Others might not know Rakshasa Lady Ten's background, but she had personally experienced the Evil Spirit Amusement Park and knew it all too well!
Rakshasa Lady Ten was suspected to possess Ghost General cultivation!
She had once been infamous throughout the Evil Spirit Realm, a ruthless killer who never batted an eye!
Later, the pain of losing her child had drastically changed her temperament, and she had fallen into slumber inside a coffin in the Haunted House.
But whenever she awoke and appeared, every Evil Spirit in the Amusement Park had to kneel to welcome her!
Unfortunately, Chen Jie had encountered her back then.
All because one brain-dead teammate had actually touched Rakshasa Lady Ten's Cloth Doll.
That had enraged her, and she had begun slaughtering players indiscriminately!
Fortunately, however, Chen Jie had picked up the Cloth Doll.
To survive, she had forced herself to muster her courage and return the Cloth Doll.
To her surprise, not only had she survived, she had also cleared the instance safely!
That clear had earned her a Grade A rating and a wealth of rewards.
In the end, it had propelled her into her current position as one of the Ten Elders!
"Chen, I remember you encountered Rakshasa Lady Ten back then too. Was she this gentle at the time?"
Li Yan asked in puzzlement.
But when Chen Jie heard that, she immediately snapped:
"Bullshit! There were nine players, and Rakshasa Lady Ten killed eight of them!"
"Her methods were so brutal that she didn't leave a single body intact!"
"If I hadn't risked everything in one final gamble, how could I still be alive today?!"
Everyone sucked in a sharp breath.
Though they had not witnessed it themselves, they could imagine how hopeless it must have felt to be hunted by an Evil Spirit with the strength of a Ghost General!
Otherwise, Chen Jie would never have staked everything on returning that Cloth Doll herself.
While they were talking, Tang Xiaoling finished her breakfast.
Unable to wait any longer, she immediately picked up Tiantian, grabbed the Cloth Doll, and said:
"Lady Ten, I want to go play!"
Seeing the anticipation written all over her face, Lady Ten could not help smiling.
"All right. I'll take you now."
She then lifted Tang Xiaoling into her arms and headed outside.
Tang Xiaoling lay in Lady Ten's arms, holding Tiantian with one hand and swinging the Cloth Doll back and forth with the other.
Just then, Chen Jie abruptly rose to her feet as she watched the livestream and cried out:
"It's that Cloth Doll!"
Her sudden reaction startled the others.
They were about to complain, but then they noticed that Chen Jie had gone pale and was trembling uncontrollably.
"Chen, are you all right?"
Jiang Daoguo hurriedly stood and approached her, trying to soothe her.
But Chen Jie seemed not to hear him. She only stared at the Cloth Doll in terror.
Ten years had passed, but she still could not forget.
That doll had nearly gotten their entire group wiped out!
Even she had almost died inside the instance!
Most of all, she still could not forget the crushing pressure she had felt from Rakshasa Lady Ten!
Seeing it again now made her feel as though she had returned to that moment.
The fear in her heart had awakened once more!
"H-how does she dare? She's playing with that Cloth Doll like a toy, and nothing has happened to her!"
Chen Jie seemed so terrified that she had forgotten Tang Xiaoling's identity.
She was consumed by panic, her words steeped in disbelief.
At the sight of her, Jiang Daoguo's expression instantly grew grave.
He had heard Chen Jie mention the Cloth Doll before, but he had never seen it.
Yet this object, which Rakshasa Lady Ten valued so deeply, had actually been given to Tang Xiaoling as a gift last night!
Could we have been wrong all along?
Was Netherworld Fengdu not merely a regional power, but something far more terrifying?!
