The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 608: Chapter 608 Temporary Mute

”You’re awake?” a voice asked by her ear, gentle like a warm breeze of springtime, soft and cautious, as if afraid of blowing the flowers off the treetops or startling the koi frolicking in the pond.

Little Taotie squinted her eyes to look over, as Hua Jinyan leaned close to her ear, his face full of deep concern.

Everyone’s attention had been captured by the girl with the round face, but from beginning to end, Hua Jinyan had kept his gaze fixed on Little Taotie. Thus, when she woke up, and then closed her eyes again, Hua Jinyan noticed it all.

He didn’t know why Little Taotie had closed her eyes again, but he played along, not alarming the others, simply bending down to quietly ask by her ear.

Little Taotie moistened her somewhat dry lips when suddenly, a cup was brought to her lips.

She met Hua Jinyan’s tender smile.

She opened her mouth and gently sipped the water brought to her.

”Do you want more?”

Little Taotie shook her head.

”Are you hungry?”

Little Taotie shook her head.

Little Taotie looked at Hua Jinyan, trying to tell her comrade-in-arms what she had dreamed, but as she opened her mouth, it was as if a hand was covering her lips, preventing her from speaking.

Now considering herself a novice in mysticism, she thought of the phrase ”Heaven’s secrets must not be revealed,” and in the end, could only purse her lips and hang her little head.

They finally caught Cheng Guodong’s attention. Cheng Guodong rushed over, a grown man with no concern for his image, his face filled with anxiousness, his hands gripping the Black Chicken Jade Platform edge, eyes fixed on his sister.

”Sister, are you in pain anywhere, do you feel uncomfortable?”

He did trust the big shots of the Special Department, but he was still very worried.

Little Taotie looked into her brother’s eyes and gently shook her head.

”Why aren’t you speaking?”

She couldn’t articulate it at the moment.

Little Taotie hung her head.

Cheng Guodong ran upstairs, intending to find Shen Cang and hold him to account. It had been agreed that once she woke up, all would be well. So why was his sister... mute?

Shen Cang was leisurely coming downstairs just as Cheng Guodong was about to confront him. He heard Shen Cang say indifferently, ”The platform is cracked.”

What? Cheng Guodong looked over and from this angle, he could indeed see a crack on the Black Chicken Jade Platform.

Shen Cang revealed a disdainful smile, ”All this effort, just for this?”

What? Cheng Guodong felt that being a big shot meant speaking in ways beyond his understanding.

Shen Cang walked past him to Little Taotie, squinting his eyes to look at her, sighing, ”Your mouth can’t be controlled, so heaven has helped you. It looks like you’ll need to be a little mute for another hour.”

Little Taotie’s big round eyes widened, ”Ah?”

”Rest now, don’t speak, little mute,” Shen Cang found it amusing, patted her head, and teased her.

Little Taotie hung her head, her whole being like a wilted eggplant.

Shen Cang’s attention shifted back to the crack on the table, his hand gently sweeping over it.

The crack on the table had seemed deep, but now it miraculously appeared a bit shallower.

Little Taotie’s curious eyes widened with surprise.

With many questions in her head and unable to speak, Little Taotie’s gaze locked onto Shen Cang, then shifted to the Shariputra on Hua Jinyan’s wrist.

Her big eyes as if they could talk.

At least, Shen Cang understood her.

Shen Cang shook his head, ”I don’t have that ability.”

He again brushed his hand across the Black Chicken Jade Platform, but this time the shallow crack remained as it was, unaltered.

”See, even this I cannot restore, let alone the Rainbow Relic transformed by a High Monk,” he said.

Little Taotie jumped down from the platform, but as soon as she did, the shallow crack deepened once more.

Shen Cang was startled and looked at Little Taotie with a complex expression.

Little Taotie’s eyes were filled with bewilderment; she looked up at Shen Cang uncertainly. She hadn’t done anything, had she?
