Little Taotie, preparing to pounce like a hungry tiger, paused and looked blankly at the Red Garment Ah Piao.
After chasing away the Evil Spirits, Red Garment Ah Piao didn't attempt to hog all the spoils. Instead, she quietly stayed beside the two little figures.
Hua Jinyan had originally thought that she, like the Ghost King they had encountered before, wanted to get rid of the Evil Spirits to claim the prize for herself. Yet, to his surprise, she acted more like a protector.
The behavior of Red Garment Ah Piao was like driving away the Evil Spirits and then guarding the two of them, preventing the Evil Spirits from approaching again.
Hua Jinyan and Little Taotie exchanged glances and both could tell she was not an Evil Spirit, but seemed to be a rather formidable vengeful spirit.
A vengeful spirit capable of scaring off a group of Evil Spirits was quite impressive, since vengeful spirits were generally much weaker than Evil Spirits.
This indicated... deep-seated resentment!
