Chapter 2116: How Can I Catch Up to You

When Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan arrived with their people, unexpectedly there was no scene of monsters invading and slaughtering humans. Instead, humans were using their combined strength to fend off the invasion of the external creatures.

Little Taotie plunged directly into the pack of creatures, taking out one with each punch, without any difficulty.

Hua Jinyan led his team to seal the vortex and prevent those creatures from entering en masse through this portal.

An hour later, none of the creatures survived.

Little Taotie flexed her hand joints; while it was a bit taxing, this battle could be considered easy. Her attacks were one-sided; those creatures moved slowly, often she could easily dodge when they swung their claws at her.

She heard soothing singing, faintly familiar.

She stood on the glass atop the Ten Thousand People Guild Hall, looking down, just in time to meet the gaze of the girl who looked up.

The girl flashed a bright smile, winked at her lightly, and shouted into the microphone: "Long time no see, Little Taotie."

Little Taotie was momentarily stunned, her eyes lowered to hide the complexity within them, she raised the corners of her mouth: "Long time no see."

After Hua Jinyan dealt with the vortex, he came to Little Taotie’s side, nodded slightly to Xiao Jin, and then whispered in Little Taotie’s ear: "It’s time to support Old Master Shen."

Long time no see, but there was no time for them to catch up.

Little Taotie softly said: "Let’s go."

She looked deeply at Xiao Jin, waved her hand, made a farewell gesture, turned around, and followed Hua Jinyan without looking back.

Xiao Jin’s smile froze on her face.

Xiao Jin stared tightly at the departing silhouette until the person disappeared from sight, she lowered her head, chuckled self-deprecatingly: "So busy?"

Over the years, Xiao Lingzhi remained in contact with her, but they hadn’t met again. She would mention Little Taotie in front of Xiao Lingzhi, but Xiao Lingzhi would always steer the conversation away, gradually she stopped mentioning it in front of Xiao Lingzhi.

She would try to contact Little Taotie, but Little Taotie was always so busy, unable to be reached, or when speaking online, there would be no response after a few words.

After so many years, finally meeting, she hadn’t expected Little Taotie to leave so decisively, not even giving a moment to catch up.

Although Xiao Lingzhi hadn’t explained exactly what had happened, Xiao Jin could guess a bit from the scattered words, also guessed that Little Taotie was different from them. Actually, one could tell from Little Taotie’s unusual strength back then that she wasn’t an ordinary person.

Not being ordinary, how could she live among ordinary people, how could she be friends with ordinary people forever?

This time awakening her Special Ability, she thought...she had stepped into an extraordinary circle, but it still wasn’t enough, not enough to make her stop, not enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Little Taotie, what do I need to do to keep up with your pace, how do I stand with you to fight against the foreign invaders? When will I...be able to stand beside you just like performing on stage together back then, side by side...?"

"Xiao Jin, the monsters have been driven back!" A young voice rang out, pulling Xiao Jin’s thoughts back.

Xiao Jin clenched the microphone, looking down at them.

These people are her fans, ready to risk their lives to protect her.

Maybe...

Xiao Jin’s gaze shifted slightly, a resolute light flashed through her eyes.

...

Little Taotie boarded the helicopter, as it ascended, she could see the position of the Ten Thousand People Guild Hall from high above, she gazed at it quietly, with no sadness or joy in her eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Hua Jinyan handed her a chocolate.
