I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 139 - 140 The Skill of Talking Nonsense with Your Eyes Open

Chapter 139: Chapter 140 The Skill of Talking Nonsense with Your Eyes Open

The man’s gaze was somewhat numb, as if he was indifferent to life itself. Such a person was either a mass murderer or...

"You’re saying some really strange things. Does picking mushrooms up the mountain really warrant your interference? Aren’t you being a little too nosy?"

Bai Zhi snorted coldly. If worse came to worst, she couldn’t outrun them, given her own strength and speed, she should be able to get away.

Besides, wasn’t the group pet a saint? She should come to her rescue, right?

"So you’re just going to play the thief and not admit it? In the depths of the forest, where exactly are you going mushroom picking? Do you dare to lie to me?"

In one swift motion, the man lifted Bai Zhi off her feet.

Bai Zhi’s eyes widened in shock. What in the world was this? After a moment of panic, her eyes returned to normal.

This somehow made the man see her in a new light. He was naturally intimidating, to put it more aptly, downright menacing.

To his surprise, aside from a brief moment of panic when she was caught, the girl soon regained her composure.

Of course, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that she was just scared witless, otherwise why was she not speaking?

"Why can’t I pick mushrooms if you all can stroll through the forest?"

Currently held aloft, Bai Zhi was not worried in the slightest. After all, nothing bad would happen to them.

She even recalled that this man was the group pet’s boss. Rumor had it he was someone who had previously erred but later reformed, wanting to reunite with his lost child and family. However, upon finally finding them, he was driven away.

His own daughter had bluntly stated she could never accept him.

Watching the scene unfold, the group pet couldn’t stand idly by and put up a fight, uttering words that moved many. That is, although your father made mistakes, you can’t keep holding onto them, even if he has committed arson or hurt others.

At the very least, he was a devoted father. For that alone, she wanted to say just a few words to them, "Pfft, lunatics."

"Speak up!"

Fear was long gone from the girl’s eyes, replaced instead by a hint of understanding. This puzzled the man. After all, she was just a little girl, what could she know?

"What’s there to say that I haven’t already told you? I’ve said it several times, I came to pick mushrooms."

"Where are the mushrooms, then?"

The man sneered coldly, as if ready to cast Bai Zhi into an abyss.

Yet Bai Zhi was not scared at all, instead displaying a touch of curiosity.

Curiosity about what exactly? Naturally, she was curious about what this man was all about.

"Aren’t you afraid of me?" The man used an affirmative statement. This girl was truly not afraid of him, not in the slightest.

"Why should I be afraid of you?"

Bai Zhi honestly felt no fear.

The man set Bai Zhi down, and the sense of contact with the ground improved her mood substantially.

"Master, this is my sister. Please don’t hurt her, okay?"

At this moment, the group pet looked over anxiously, very concerned for Bai Zhi.

Pah, he didn’t intervene just before, but now he comes running over when he sees she’s been put down, his intentions clear to everyone.

"You’re saying this girl is your sister?"

The man sized me up, feeling doubtful that we looked alike.

"Yes, Master, she is my sister. Please don’t blame her, okay?"

The group pet nodded vigorously, looking at Bai Zhi with a newfound resolve. freēnovelkiss.com

"Sister must have been impulsive in the moment, please forgive her, can you?"

"Ptui!"

Bai Zhi couldn’t listen anymore and spat on the ground before disdainfully looking at her ’sister,’ the group pet.

"Your ability to lie through your teeth has truly reached a new level of expertise. Now you’re even making stuff up to my face, right?

When did I ever eavesdrop? What are you insinuating?"

Such a huge forest. Do you think you’re the only ones who can walk through it, huh? How shameless can you be?"

Hehe, it looks like he’s helping her, but actually, he’s implying that she’s doing it on purpose, listening to their conversation.

Anyway, she was now like a broken pot that couldn’t get any worse, not afraid of them at all.

"And you, what are you looking at?"

Bai Zhi directly glared at the man fiercely.

"What’s the matter, not shaving? Are you trying to pose as a brooding uncle or aiming for a rugged look? You think you appear mature, but really, you just look crazy, okay?

Me eavesdropping? You think you’re discussing state secrets or something? I listened right out in the open."

If she was a bit scared before, Bai Zhi had now let her true self loose.

"As for you, Bai Ye, why is your mouth hanging open? Wanting to stick an egg in it, too bad there isn’t one."

"And for you, Bai Yu, what’s this? Trying to out-stare me, is that it? With those tiny eyes of yours, even wide open they’re still the size of a bean. Better just stick to wearing glasses, then you’d be ’four eyes.’ Oh, your cousin has charisma, but you, what’s that called again? Just by looking, it feels like... you’re a scholarly animal..."

After venting at everyone, Bai Zhi felt much better, but everyone else’s faces turned dark.

The man’s eyes bore a killing intent. Real, genuine killing intent, as he stepped closer and closer towards Bai Zhi.

But Bai Zhi just smirked coldly and turned to run.

She used all her strength and bolted forward.

If she couldn’t beat them, of course, she’d run. She wasn’t stupid.

Ah, she had been impulsive just now.

But she didn’t regret it.

Having run into the forest, she wasn’t afraid anymore. That old man’s Formation should last for a while, right?

The man: "?!!"

Group pet: "???"

Er Bai: "???"

How did Bai Zhi suddenly run so fast, and why did she disappear as soon as she entered?

Only the old man’s eyes grew deeper and deeper. So there was a Formation here, but who had set it up?

Was this girl here by sheer fluke or...?

"Little girl, you’d better come out so we can talk. You misunderstood earlier, I just wanted to clarify things."

Having finally found someone who could enter, he naturally wouldn’t let go. It really was like finding a needle in a haystack effortlessly.

He had been wandering here for half a month, even getting injured, yet he had stumbled upon her so easily today.

Go out? Bai Zhi, sitting under the Big Tree, rolled her eyes. She wasn’t an idiot. Go out and let them bully her? Was she out of her mind?

But who exactly was this man, looking so fierce and formidable?

As time ticked by, second by second, they were still guarding outside the Formation. It seemed like a test of endurance against Bai Zhi.

"Do you need help?"

Just then, a pair of slippers came into Bai Zhi’s view. She looked up and sure enough, it was that old man.

"No."

Bai Zhi rejected him without hesitation.

"Why? Aren’t you afraid of the people outside?"

The old man was curious. How come this little girl didn’t seek his help?

"No good deed goes unpunished, suspicious help usually means harm."

Bai Zhi didn’t believe for a second that the old man had suddenly turned charitable.

"So what are you going to do? It’s going to get dark soon."
