Chapter 544: Ignorance
During the few seconds Fresh Snow ran to Gao Yang, the little abomination’s physical body, which was still hovering in the air, stopped flickering a strange red light, having lost all signs of vitality.
Plop. It fell to the ground, unmoving like a pile of dead meat. Its three souls and seven spirits had been destroyed. It was erased on a spiritual level.
Gao Yang had always known that Fresh Snow was the most powerful spiritual attacker, and he witnessed it now.
Overwhelmed with joy, he strode toward Fresh Snow, and seeing Gao Yang approaching her, Fresh Snow opened her arms with a widened smile and was just about to throw herself into his arms.
Two seconds later, she threw herself into nothing and almost fell.
Gao Yang had teleported to the little abomination behind her a second before she could embrace him.
“Fire!”
Although the little abomination was likely dead, he found it necessary to ensure its death. In seconds, the body was burned into black ashes. There was no chance for it to come back to life.
Only then did Gao Yang sigh in relief. He chided himself silently, I may not be a good enough fighter, but I should make sure to do my part in cleaning up the mess.
“Gao Yang!”
Gao Yang turned around. This time, he didn’t move away, and Fresh Snow flew into his arms directly.
“Miss me? Did you miss me? Tell me! Did you miss me...” Fresh Snow buried her face in his chest and nuzzled it hard, greedily breathing in his smell.
“I did...” Gao Yang was just about to answer when he noticed something wrong. Something was tightening around his waist.
He looked down and almost stopped breathing in shock.
Under her large cape, Fresh Snow had wrapped her slim fair legs around his waist.
Wait...what’s the deal with the posture?
“Fresh Snow!”
White Dew quickly came up to them and peeled Fresh Snow off Gao Yang. “Stand on your feet! That’s inappropriate!”
She sighed inwardly. Fresh Snow had been asking her insistently about what romantic love was, and thinking it was time for Fresh Snow to grow up, White Dew watched a few romance movies with her, attempting to make her understand.
Last night, Fresh Snow used White Dew’s laptop to play a movie called God of Comedy, finishing it. In the film, the female lead always hugged the male lead with her legs around his waist.
Not far from them, Spring and War Tiger were talking.
Gao Yang had told War Tiger about the Spectres beforehand, so War Tiger wasn’t hostile to them at the moment.
Like a street thug, War Tiger crouched down and held the little boy’s gaze. “You’re the leader of the Spectres?”
“I prefer being known as the patriarch,” said Spring.
“Oh dear!” War Tiger ruffled Spring’s hair. “Acting all mature.”
“How dare you!” Spring took a sudden step back, humiliated. “What are you doing?!”
“Huh?” War Tiger found it unfair. “I pat a kid’s head to show my goodwill?”
“Kid? I’m old enough to be your grandfather!” Spring was mad. He quickly smoothed his hair and put on airs. “Ahem, since it’s your first mistake, and you’re a companion of our son-in-law, I’ll let things slide. There won’t be a next time!”
“You’re bold.” War Tiger wasn’t intimidated at all. He smiled bemusedly. “I wasn’t gonna let things slide.”
Spring paused before breaking into a smile. “It was a coincidence that we ended up using you. We were looking for life monsters too.”
“Although you walked with Gao Yang, Spectres and awakeners are natural enemies at the end of the day. That’s why I didn’t make myself known recklessly.”
“Then why did you step in at the end?”
“We share the target of killing the Cursed Offspring,” Spring explained in a nonchalant tone, but he was thinking, If we didn’t act then, we wouldn’t be able to defeat the enemy later.
“So it’s called the Cursed Offspring.” War Tiger thought about the name.
“It may not be what it’s actually called.” Waking Insects moved up to behind Spring like a wind.
“Holy!” War Tiger jumped. “You’re way too fast, buddy. How do you do it? Can you teach me?”
“I’m born this way. I can’t teach you.” Waking Insects nodded politely. “Similarly, I can’t learn your Talent.”
“Haha, you’re right.” War Tiger looked down at Spring. “Little one...”
“It’s Master Spring to you!” Spring cut him off.
“Ahem, Master...Spring, when did you start following us?” War Tiger asked.
Gao Yang went up to them and chimed in, “Must have been as soon as we arrived at the Ni Nation.”
