Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 288 - 190: It’s Hard to Learn Good, but Easy to Slip into Bad!

Chapter 288: Chapter 190: It’s Hard to Learn Good, but Easy to Slip into Bad!

The Taotie spoke, deliberately winking its small, venomous eyes. Its long, ugly face bore a sleazy expression.

The little venomous creature looked confused: "What are you talking about? I can’t understand you at all!"

Upon hearing this, the Taotie let out a sinister laugh: "Stop pretending, you know what I’m talking about. You can’t understand Black Stripe’s words, can you?"

"Oh, you mean that." The little venomous creature waved its hand casually, "I already relayed the message correctly. Black Stripe did find those mythical beast puppets on the Crown Prince’s Mansion’s back mountain."

"And then?" the Taotie asked with a gnashing smile, "What else did Black Stripe say afterward?"

The little venomous creature remained calm: "I’ve relayed everything. These are all arranged by the Master. Once the Master returns, they’ll naturally know."

The Taotie sneered, "Alright, stop pretending."

"The reason you guessed Black Stripe found those mythical beasts in the back mountain is because when we went looking for it before, the last place its aura appeared was indeed the back mountain."

"And besides, Black Stripe’s original words weren’t ’back mountain,’ it said ’the crooked-neck tree on the back mountain.’ That tree is very peculiar; as soon as it got close, it was sucked right in."

"As for the latter part, it was hardly any Master’s arrangement! Black Stripe’s original words were that those mythical beasts were found at the entrance of a gigantic Golden Palace. Those beasts licked it once, and then it could lead them out!"

The little venomous creature raised its brow, taking note of all these words.

Seeing this, the Taotie grinned smugly, "I was right, wasn’t I? You can’t understand a thing! If those vicious folks find out you’ve been deceiving them all along, your end wouldn’t be pretty."

Having said that, the Taotie raised its head and said, "We’re all working under the Master, so don’t say I’m bullying you. As long as you promise me... no, ten... that’s too few, one hundred conditions! If you promise me a hundred conditions, I’ll keep this secret for you."

"The first condition!" the Taotie said excitedly, "From now on, you’re not allowed to steal my food anymore!"

When the Taotie said this, it expressed its grievance: "Though you’re a human, you don’t act like one at all! I am the Taotie, the great devourer! From ancient times to the present, you’re the first to steal Taotie’s food!"

The little venomous creature shrank its neck slightly, giving an embarrassed smile: "How did you know?"

Merely uttering this made the Taotie explode.

The Taotie said in exasperation, "I stole a roasted chicken from the kitchen, planning to steal a bottle of wine from the wine cellar to go with it. When I returned, the entire roasted chicken was just a pile of bones! Who else but you could have done this?"

The little venomous creature tentatively said, "What about Black Stripe? It’s a dog, and it loves chicken the most!"

The Taotie laughed out of anger: "Never mind whether Black Stripe dared enter my room to steal; you did say it’s a dog. If it were Black Stripe, would there still be bones left?"

The little venomous creature was rendered speechless.

She retorted, "The Master once said, ’Catch the thief, find the stolen goods.’ You didn’t see me do it, so you can’t accuse me."

The Taotie was rendered speechless: "You’re absolutely shameless!"

Finished speaking, it waved its paw, warning: "Let’s forget the past, but from now on, stop stealing food from my room!"

"Okay," the little venomous creature agreed, raising her brow, "You ate a person!"

The Taotie’s expression changed abruptly.

It glanced back nervously, seeing that Zuo Xiaoluo and Miaoyin weren’t paying attention, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, it glared at the little venomous creature, speaking sternly but with a lack of conviction: "Don’t spout nonsense. When did I ever eat a person?"

The little venomous creature waved her hand: "I heard that Xuanzhen Temple has a secret medicine that can reveal if someone has eaten human flesh. If you haven’t, then come with me to find Miaoyin. She’ll prove your innocence."

After saying this, the little venomous creature turned, ready to find Miaoyin.

"Wait a minute!" the Taotie hurriedly stopped her.

The Taotie glanced nervously into the distance again, seeing everything was normal, and feigned displeasure: "Miaoyin and the Grand General are busy dealing with traitors. We shouldn’t trouble them with such trivial matters."

After saying this, the Taotie hesitated and said, "Considering your situation, let’s drop one condition out of a hundred, but the rule about not stealing my food can’t change!"

Little venomous creature: "You ate a person."

The Taotie was exasperated: "What more do you want? I’ve already reduced one condition for you."

Little venomous creature: "You ate a person."

The Taotie gritted its teeth, "Everything else is negotiable, but the rule about not stealing my food can’t be changed!"

Little venomous creature: "You ate a person."

The Taotie was completely mad: "Will you ever stop? Is this the only phrase you know?"

Little venomous creature: "You ate a lot of people."

The Taotie: "..."

It glared at the little venomous creature, its face dark and brooding, "What do you want?"

The little venomous creature’s eyes lit up: "I want you to agree to one hundred... no, that’s too few... one thousand doesn’t seem much either... ten thousand! I want you to agree to ten thousand conditions!"

After saying this, the little venomous creature quickly added: "First condition: whenever you have delicious food, I must get half first."

The Taotie was beside itself with rage: "Don’t push it!"

Little venomous creature: "You ate a person."

The Taotie took a deep breath and gritted its teeth: "Let’s compromise. I won’t hold you accountable for not understanding Black Stripe’s words, and you stop talking about that matter."

Little venomous creature blinked: "What matter?"

The Taotie said grumpily, "You know it yourself!"

The little venomous creature suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean the time you ate people!"

The little venomous creature patted her chest, loudly promising: "Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. I won’t breathe a word!"

"Keep it down!" the Taotie was startled.

Zuo Xiaoluo and Miaoyin, hearing the commotion, turned their attention over.

The Taotie’s expression changed. Just as it was about to say something, the little venomous creature skipped past it.

The Taotie instinctively reached a paw to grab Zuo Xiaoluo, but she moved too fast. Before the Taotie’s paw could extend, the little venomous creature had already run up to the two of them.

The little venomous creature said to Miaoyin, "Sister Miaoyin, Black Stripe mentioned something about the mythical beast puppets earlier. I was originally going to wait for the Master to tell you when they returned, but since I don’t know when the Master will come back, I might as well tell you now."

Hearing this, the Taotie breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it didn’t know what mischief the little venomous creature was up to again, as long as she wasn’t pursuing the topic of eating people any further, it was fine.

Miaoyin and Zuo Xiaoluo exchanged glances, both looking towards the little venomous creature.

Miaoyin asked, "Xiaoxiao, regarding the mythical beast puppets, what did Black Stripe say?"

This time the little venomous creature was well-prepared, effortlessly repeating everything the Taotie had said earlier.

After listening, Miaoyin’s face showed a thoughtful expression: "So the entrance to the Golden Hall is in the back mountain of the Crown Prince’s Mansion?"

"What is the Golden Hall?" Zuo Xiaoluo asked.

Miaoyin took her aside, explaining the Zhao clan’s "Ice Seal Plan."

On the other side, the Taotie looked at the little venomous creature with disdain, filled with contempt in its eyes.

The little venomous creature remained unconcerned.

She already knew how to relay messages in the future.

Although she couldn’t understand the words of the mythical beasts, the Taotie could.

With the Taotie having a weakness in her grasp, she wasn’t afraid it wouldn’t comply.

She would enjoy this secret for the rest of her life!
