Chapter 1955 is a baby.
After Aoki left, Senjougashi gently patted the black umbrella.
"Do you want to come out? There are no other men here. There's a very powerful master who might be able to help you."
He spoke softly and patiently coaxed the umbrella.
Sheng Xiaohan pursed her lips in disapproval.
A female ghost, and you still need to coax her like this? Has Brother Xing been bewitched?
She wanted to see just how beautiful the female ghost really was.
Lu Zhaoling also looked at the umbrella.
It trembled, then suddenly flew out of Qian Dingxing's arms, hovering high in the air, and then with a snap, the umbrella opened by itself.
Sheng Xiaohan stared at the umbrella in surprise.
Under the umbrella, a pair of feet appeared first, wearing shoes.
but--
Sheng Xiaohan stared in shock.
Because those were rather small feet, wearing a pair of tiger-head shoes.
Why does it look like a child's?
The feet slowly moved down, revealing legs, wearing apricot-colored cotton trousers embroidered with small birds.
Then there's the body; she's wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and carrying a small cloth bag embroidered with a cute little tiger.
With a thud.
The ghost suddenly fell down, and cried out "Ouch!" when it hit the ground.
A childish, babyish voice.
Sheng Xiaohan's eyes widened even more.
She looked down and saw a little girl sitting on the ground, looking up pitifully.
"Why is it a child?!" Sheng Xiaohan exclaimed.
He really is just a child.
She looks about three or four years old, with a round face, big eyes, a slightly flat nose, but her mouth looks like a flower petal, and she looks very pretty.
It looks like a little girl.
She wore her hair in two buns and a beaded hair ornament.
She was originally a very pretty little girl with delicate features, but there was a large black patch on one side of her neck. It looked rather thick, covering the entire side of her neck, and part of it was inside her collar and extended a bit to behind her ear.
It completely ruined her delicate and cute appearance, making her a little frightening.
For some reason, seeing such a large black spot reminded Lu Zhaoling of the talismans on Zhou Shiyue's knees and chest.
However, Zhou Shiyue's symptoms don't manifest when she's not having an attack. But when they do, she seems to come alive, even baring her teeth and claws.
The spots on this child's neck look like they're dead spots, so there's a difference.
"Why did you fall?" Qian Dingxing had already come over and helped the little girl up. "Did you hurt yourself?"
He gently patted her clothes, still looking as gentle as before.
But because he's such a young child, his gentleness now seems a bit like a "fatherly" attitude to Sheng Xiaohan.
It's completely different from before.
Sheng Xiaohan's expression was a bit strange at the moment; she hadn't yet managed to suppress her jealousy.
She had assumed the black umbrella hid a beautiful female ghost, and had been so jealous the whole way, only to be told it was just a three or four-year-old child?!
Just kidding.
Sheng Xiaohan even felt a little guilty.
If she had known it was just a little girl, wouldn't she have immediately asked Lu Zhaoling if she could help?
"Uncle Xing, I'm fine, I just don't have any energy, and I'm so hungry," the little girl said, her voice incredibly sweet.
"Puch."
Sheng Xiaohan couldn't help herself.
Uncle Xing?
When she smiled, the child looked at her.
"What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm being rude? Uncle Xing is so old, shouldn't I call him Grandpa Xing?"
Sheng Xiaohan's smile vanished.
Looking at Qian Dingxing's handsome and youthful face, she really couldn't connect him with the title of "Grandpa".
But now she suddenly had some doubts. The child said that Qian Dingxing was very old. Could it be that he was really old?
But no matter how you look at him, he looks like he's only in his early twenties.
Am I forty?
If it's forty, can she accept it?
Sheng Xiaohan asked herself this question in her heart.
Qian Dingxing didn't care what she was thinking at the moment. He picked up the child, put her on the chair, and looked at Lu Zhaoling.
“She’s hungry, but I can’t find anything for her to eat. She’ll change if she gets too hungry.”
"What will it become?"
As Lu Zhaoling asked the question, she carefully observed the young girl.
It is indeed a ghost, but it doesn't seem to be an ordinary ghost.
The ghostly aura emanating from her was rather strange.
“If she gets too hungry, she’ll become very ferocious and will eat people,” Qian Dingxing said.
"Eat people?" Sheng Xiaohan was shocked and jumped away immediately.
“It’s not the kind of eating,” Qian Dingxing said helplessly, “it’s eating people’s souls.”
It took Sheng Xiaohan a while to process what was going on. "Doesn't that just turn people into idiots?"
That would be better than just eating people directly.
She doesn't want to become an idiot.
Lu Zhaoling's expression also changed slightly.
How many souls has she consumed?
If they really did something wrong, she'll have to deal with them.
Qian Dingxing quickly replied, "Not yet, I didn't have time. I ran into her right after she changed."
"You stopped her?" Lu Zhaoling asked suspiciously.
Qian Dingxing has this ability?
“I still have some Netherworld Flower Dew,” Qian Dingxing said, taking out a small bottle and handing it to Lu Zhaoling. “This stuff wasn’t easy to collect. It was originally sold in the shop, but no one bought it for decades. I took it with me when I went out, thinking I had nothing to lose, so I fed it to her. I didn’t expect it to work.”
Lu Zhaoling took it, opened the bottle, shook it, smelled it, and understood.
"When the Netherworld Flower blooms, it must have been tainted with some soul energy on the road to the underworld, so it can be considered a soul."
"Yes, that's it, it'll help her fill her stomach. But I'm out, this is all I have left."
“Not all Netherworld Flowers can be touched by souls. To collect even a small amount, you would have to gather an entire sea of flowers,” Lu Zhaoling said.
Qian Dingxing said helplessly, "So I had no choice but to bring him to you?"
"This little girl..."
Before Sheng Xiaohan could finish speaking, Qian Dingxing interrupted her.
"He is a boy."
Even Lu Zhaoling was surprised.
"A man?!"
With her hair styled in two buns and looking so pretty, she thought she was a little girl.
"I'm starving! I'm starving!" the child cried, clutching his stomach. He looked at Lu Zhaoling. "Oh? You look familiar!"
His childish voice made Lu Zhaoling momentarily speechless.
"I'm so hungry, hurry up and find me something to eat, Xiaoxing, hurry up!" he shouted again, kicking his little legs.
"Brother Xing, he was calling you Uncle Xing just now, why is he calling you Little Xing now?" Sheng Xiaohan was stunned again.
Qian Dingxing said, "He usually calls me Xiaoxing, and only occasionally does he call me Uncle Xing like a child."
