CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 78: DIVIDING THE TAOTIE’S FLESH!

She spoke in a bewitching tone, "Come, prove to me that you love me! As long as you help me unlock the Lover’s Lock, I will be with you forever, never parting for a lifetime!"

Perhaps sensing the increasing danger, Su Qianqian’s tone became impatient.

In her eyes, among these people, only Zhao Yi truly loved her.

If Zhao Yi refused to act, then she was truly doomed!

Su Qianqian couldn’t help but urge Zhao Yi, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up! Zhao Yi, didn’t you swear you’d love me forever? Didn’t you say we’d be together for a lifetime? Now’s the time to prove your sincerity, what are you waiting for?"

Zhao Yi: "..."

Seeing Zhao Yi still unmoved, Su Qianqian completely lost it.

Her face twisted in a sinister expression, her body contorting eerily, her spine even bending to a degree that humans couldn’t naturally achieve.

Su Qianqian cursed loudly, "Zhao Yi, you liar! You said you would love me, you said we’d be together forever, you were all lying! I curse you to die a terrible death, even if I go to Hell, I won’t forgive you!"

Zhao Yi: "..."

Cough cough!

Seeing enough of the commotion, Zhao Yi cleared his throat lightly.

Just as he was about to speak, a weak voice from Linglong called to him.

"Crown Prince, don’t go over there!"

Zhao Yi stopped his words and turned to look at Linglong.

He looked at Linglong’s swollen face, almost unrecognizable, resembling a pig’s head.

"How did you end up like this?" Zhao Yi asked curiously.

Linglong’s mouth twitched slightly, giving a bitter smile without answering.

Earlier, Linglong had been seriously injured by a slap from Zuo Xiaoluo, and later was tortured half to death by Su Qianqian. It’s a miracle she was still alive.

She weakly said, "Crown Prince, don’t be deceived by that monster! There’s no Lover’s Lock, and no such thing as unlocking it with the blood of true love. I made all that up to deceive her!"

Fake?

Zhao Yi showed no reaction to this revelation, but Su Qianqian immediately broke down.

She seemed soulless, dumbfounded as she looked at the protagonist.

If unlocking with the blood of true love didn’t exist,

what was the point of everything she just did?

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly, Su Qianqian went berserk, her blood-red pupils fixating fiercely on Linglong, eager to tear her to pieces!

"You bitch! It’s all your fault! I’m going to kill you!"

Startled, a flicker of fear appeared in Linglong’s eyes, but considering her current situation, fear was soon replaced by anger.

"You crazy lunatic, deserve to die!"

Two women.

One hanging by spikes on the door, the other lying severely injured on the ground.

All they could move were their mouths.

Yet they were still fiercely relentless!

In the midst of the shouting match, Su Qianqian suddenly fell silent.

The next moment.

Her clothes burst apart.

On Su Qianqian’s body, strange blood-red patterns spread across, forming a massive Blood Cocoon that enveloped her.

The giant cocoon flashed with a sinister glow, emitting an ominous evil aura.

A terrifying aura was steadily awakening.

Zuo Xiaoluo retrieved a kitchen knife from somewhere, standing cautiously by Zhao Yi’s side.

Gripping the knife, Zuo Xiaoluo looked solemnly at the giant cocoon before him, "Benefactor, what’s inside the Blood Cocoon is likely the Divine Beast Taotie!"

Zhao Yi nodded slightly.

He had thought Taotie would hatch from an egg, not be born this way.

Though strange, it wasn’t too far-fetched.

Zhao Yi also recalled the Dead Egg that Zuo Xiaoluo had cooked and eaten.

If they had used that egg for a sacrifice, would Taotie have hatched from it?

Zhao Yi clicked his tongue in wonder.

As expected of the True Dragon’s offspring, truly fascinating!

The incubation of Taotie was exceedingly fast.

In less than ten breaths, the blood glow on the giant cocoon vanished.

The cocoon lost its color, turning into a rough, bark-like texture of black-brown eggshell.

Crack!

A hole appeared in the eggshell, from which a foot emerged.

Everyone was simultaneously startled by the sight.

The foot was no longer that of a human with five toes, but had three toes, each with sharp claws that gleamed with a cold light, razor-sharp like hooks.

The claws pressed with force, shattering the eggshell.

A massive Taotie appeared before everyone!

Taotie, with a mouthful of sharp teeth, a huge head bristling with spikes, and skin of black-brown filled with strange patterns, looked both dangerous and beautiful!

Perhaps inheriting Su Qianqian’s will, as soon as Taotie appeared, its blood-red pupils locked directly onto Zhao Yi!

Clearly, out of everyone, Su Qianqian’s memory of Zhao Yi was the strongest.

Zhao Yi was uncertain if he should be pleased.

He asked Zuo Xiaoluo beside him, "Can you still sense Su Qianqian’s aura?"

Zuo Xiaoluo nodded, then shook her head.

She said unsurely, "I don’t know how to describe her current state. Su Qianqian is dead, but not entirely. She is Taotie, Taotie is her. But she’s not completely Taotie, Taotie isn’t completely her."

Zhao Yi: "Speak plainly!"

Zuo Xiaoluo said, "You could understand it as Su Qianqian becoming nourishment for Taotie, thereby forming a new Taotie entity. This Taotie might have Su Qianqian’s consciousness, but it is no longer Su Qianqian."

Zhao Yi was still in the dark.

But it didn’t matter.

Whether this Taotie was Su Qianqian or not.

Strike when it’s weak, take its life!

Taotie had just emerged, and it was at its weakest moment.
