The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Xiao Lingzhi stepped back one step, two steps, three steps, getting further and further away, until she reached the edge of the ship, the sea breeze lifting her disheveled hair.

”Little Taotie, I can’t do it.”

”I can’t be with you like before because being with you reminds me of past disgrace and makes me feel utterly ugly.”

”I’m sorry, once again... I’ve let you down.”

”I’ve discussed with Grandpa Lin, once he recovers, we’ll emigrate...”

Little Taotie anxiously stepped forward, wanting to be closer to Xiao Lingzhi, but Xiao Lingzhi instinctively continued to step back, almost falling off the ship.

”No, don’t back away!” Little Taotie shouted anxiously while stepping back herself: ”I won’t come over, I won’t come near you, just don’t step back!”

Xiao Lingzhi stood firm, took a deep breath, and resolutely said, ”From now on, we won’t see each other again.”

”Why...” Little Taotie’s voice was hoarse, with a hint of sobbing.

”I don’t know if something like this will happen again. I’m scared, Little Taotie, I’m scared of betraying you once more...”

”I understand.” Suddenly Little Taotie became very calm.

Xiao Lingzhi looked at her in surprise.

Even Hua Jinyan, Uncle Tie, and Ghost Enforcer Uncle all looked at Little Taotie with slightly surprised eyes.

Little Taotie lifted her head, wore a brilliant smile; her dimples deepened, her eyes curved, but there was a bit of mist in those eyes.

”Xiao Lingzhi, I wish you a safe journey, my good friend. May you be safe and all your wishes come true.”

She waved her little hand at Xiao Lingzhi: ”I, temporarily bid farewell to you from your life.”

Little Taotie turned around, walked away step by step with her back to Xiao Lingzhi, increasing the distance between them, she lifted her head and looked towards Lu Yuan on the deck: ”Uncle Bai Lu, let the helicopter take Xiao Lingzhi to her grandpa, we still have tasks to do, I won’t see her off.”

Lu Yuan looked at the brightly smiling little girl, only to see her face already covered with tears.

”Are you... alright?” Lu Yuan asked.

Little Taotie wiped away her tears with her hand, with the tears gone, what remained was a radiant smile, she shook her head: ”I’m fine, I’m doing great.”

Hua Jinyan caught up with Little Taotie, looking back at Xiao Lingzhi once, a glance that made Xiao Lingzhi shiver.

”Splash”

Xiao Lingzhi fell into the water.

Little Taotie didn’t turn back to look, just kept walking straight ahead.

Hua Jinyan asked, ”Aren’t you going to check?”

”Uncle Bai Lu will take good care of her, and ensure she gets safely to Grandpa Lin.”

”Will you really never see her again?”

”This is Xiao Lingzhi’s wish, and it’s the only thing I can do to make her wish come true.”

”Actually... are you afraid of implicating her again?”

”Shut up.” Little Taotie turned around and threw a punch at him.

Hua Jinyan reached out and caught her fist, speaking softly: ”Your speed is slower now.”

Little Taotie grudgingly retracted her fist, tilting up her water-cleaned, brilliant starry eyes to look at him, ”Huahua, I’ve... only got you left.”

”You have many friends.”

”It’s not the same.”

”What about Little Jinzi?”

”I won’t see him again either.”

”Why go this far.” Hua Jinyan reached out and held her hand tightly, as expected, her hand was very cold.

Hua Jinyan cupped her hand to his mouth, warming it with his breath: ”You don’t need to keep such a distance.”

”I don’t know who wants to capture me, but that person won’t stop, and will definitely target my friends again. By breaking ties and keeping a distance from them, they can be safe.”

”I hope they all stay well.”

Little Taotie smiled, that smile was pure and clean, yet it made Hua Jinyan’s heart ache.
