Chapter 2697: Little Girl

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a little girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll, sitting on the bed, smiling sweetly at him.

"L-little girl, who are you?"

Old Master Gu was extremely puzzled; he remembered there was no girl this pretty in the house.

Her large eyes brimmed with Spiritual Energy, her long lashes fluttering like they could speak, her tender skin, almond-shaped face, and two charming dimples appeared when she smiled, making her incredibly likable.

The little girl asked with a radiant smile, "Do you recognize me?"

Old Master Gu lay weakly on the bed, shaking his head, "No, I don’t."

The smile vanished from the little girl’s face as she fiercely said, "Since you don’t recognize me, why all the pointless chatter?"

In the house, it was always him berating others, never had anyone dared to berate him. Even the current Emperor feared him somewhat, yet this little girl, barely grown, dared to scold him without a care for the consequences?

Old Master Gu was infuriated; if not for his weakness, he’d have stood up and thrown this little brat out long ago, why would he allow her to act wildly here?

Old Master Gu lay in bed, blowing his beard and glaring, shouting loudly, "Get out, get out for me."

He intended to roar with all his might, but regrettably, after just being poisoned, his body was weak, and his voice came out only as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz.

Xiao Taohong sat on the canopy swinging back and forth, appearing very relaxed: "Get out? How to get out? Show me how you get out yourself?"

"Huff huff... huff huff!" Old Master Gu, weak in body, was panting heavily in bed in rage.

"Seeing you’re so pitiful, I’ll show you how this girl gets out!" Saying this, Xiao Taohong took off her head and threw it to the ground...

Roll roll roll...

The head rolled towards the door...

"Is this how you get out?" The head rolled to the door, turned, and asked Old Master Gu.

"You... you...!"

Old Master Gu was scared half to death by this scene, a headless little body sitting in the canopy while the head rolled to the door, still speaking to him.

Xiao Taohong seemed impatient: "What’s the matter, old thing, I asked you if you’re satisfied?"

Just then, the door was pushed open, and the head was pushed behind the door.

Xuexue and Long Rui walked in from outside...

"Ah... help, help, master."

As soon as Xuexue entered, she heard cries for help and felt very strange, turning to Long Rui and asking, "Prince, did you hear any sound?"

Long Rui silently pointed behind Xuexue.

Xuexue turned to look, seeing nothing but the door plank, and said, completely bewildered: "No, it’s just the door, right?"

Long Rui briefly said: "Behind the door."

Upon hearing this, Xuexue hurriedly released her grip, and a head bopped out from behind the door, still calling out, "Master, you almost squashed me!"

Startled by the sight of a talking head, Xuexue instinctively and quickly took several steps back.

"Sweetheart, don’t be scared, I’m here!" Long Rui reached out to hold her shoulder, comforting her.

With a quick bounce, the head jumped a few more times before swiftly flying back to the body on the bed.

"Clack!"

The head automatically attached to the body, twisting a few times: "Master, it’s me, it’s me!"

Only then did Xuexue see clearly that the head belonged to Xiao Taohong. This silly little ghost had nothing better to do than take her head off to play, didn’t she know this action was quite frightening?

Xuexue: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Taohong replied earnestly, "Old Master Gu told me to get out, so I got out for him to see, look at him, he’s so dazed, he must be really impressed!"
