The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Half-brother from Different Fathers

Qin Xin looked at Tao Ti, who was pressing her lips together, her little face flushed and her eyes gleaming. She didn’t seem like an individual with vast divine skills at all, just a child, right?

He suspected Cheng Guodong was playing a joke on him and showed an awkward but polite smile, “This joke isn’t funny at all.”

“I am not joking with you, my sister is the only one who can help you. Old Mr. Xu is no longer with us. If you miss this chance, your long journey back to the country might have been for nothing.”

Hearing this, Qin Xin began to hesitate.

When Cheng Guodong recognized that address as the one to find Elder Xu, he thought Cheng was part of that mysterious circle.

The old man at the bun shop told him that his trip wouldn’t be in vain.

...

So now that Elder Xu was no longer there, he could only trust the two people in front of him.

Why not give it a try? After all, there wouldn’t be any loss.

“Can you really help me?” Qin Xin crouched down, eye to eye with Tao Ti, his gaze filled with hope, terrified that the person before him would shake their head. These days, he had been truly down on his luck.

Tao Ti met his gaze, as if seeing a big Puppy on the streets gazing at her with sad, desperate eyes.

Tao Ti thought he looked so pitiable. She stretched out her chubby little hand and patted his head, telling him very seriously and firmly, “Brother, don’t worry, I can definitely help you!”

After helping big brother, he would give her toys, take her out for tasty food, and there would be one more person in the world who liked her. If she saved this brother, would that mean there would be one more person who liked her?

The casting call was organized by Cheng Guodong. The entire building belonged to Cheng, and he took them to the top floor’s empty room, where they wouldn’t be disturbed by others.

The door closed, and under the astonished and trembling gaze of Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin, she grabbed aimlessly through the air, and a black mist formed in her palm, coalescing into a ferocious skull that opened its mouth wide, trying to bite her.

However, just as it was about to bite Tao Ti, it was stung by a strand of Golden Light emanating from her body, howling in pain. Finally, Tao Ti squished it in the palm of her hand, turning it into a piece of chocolate!

“Don’t eat it!” Cheng Guodong couldn’t stop her in time and only managed to shout out loud.

“Crack!” The chocolate was bitten apart in Tao Ti’s mouth. She blinked, her eyes innocent and pitiful, she opened her little mouth, and there was nothing left inside. In her childish voice, she said, “All gone! There’s none left!”

At this moment, Qin Xin felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Ever since the unexplained bad luck began, he had always felt as if someone was behind him, as if he was burdened with a heavy weight on his shoulders.

The feeling of being watched and followed incessantly no longer existed, and the feeling of being crushed under a heavy weight, the sensation of bearing a load on his shoulders, had also disappeared.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Qin Xin would never have believed that someone could grasp those bunches of black mist out of nowhere, turning them into an edible piece of chocolate, and without this profound sense of relief, he wouldn’t have believed this wasn’t magic, but that someone could truly crush and eat an Evil Spirit.

“From now on, you’re my lifesaver. As long as it’s not illegal or disorderly, whatever you ask, I’ll do it for you!”

Tao Ti cheered and jumped up, blinking her pure and naive big eyes, she asked, “Brother, can you like me just a little bit?”

Qin Xin was baffled by the question. Cheng Guodong walked up to him and whispered, “She’s a child unloved by her parents and relatives, so she’s very starved for affection, lacks a sense of belonging, and is insecure.”

Qin Xin instantly understood, facing the child’s innocent and expectant gaze, he smiled and nodded, “Of course I like you. From now on, I’m your real big brother!”

Cheng Guodong said discontentedly, “I’m her real half-brother!” @@novelbin@@

“Then I’ll be her real second brother! I should also call you big brother. If it weren’t for big brother’s help, I wouldn’t know how long my misfortune would have lasted! I always knew there was a well-known story back home about the brotherhood in the Peach Garden. Why don’t we form our own brotherhood like the ‘Oath of the Peach Garden’?”
