74: Chapter 74: The Festival of Sacrifice (19)

Qianye stepped forward and poked its cheek.

"Hmm, it's actually soft."

"This is clearly more realistic than the one on the stage~"

Qianye couldn't help but clap her hands as she looked at him, radiating an air of delight. She really had struck gold~

Where she didn't notice, the boy with his head lowered had a strange gleam in his eyes. A smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

Qianye placed him at the doorway and even arranged him in an elegant pose, while she was busy with something inside.

Tai You appeared, rushing in recklessly. An obstacle appeared in his line of sight, and as he looked up, he met a pair of bottomless, pitch-black pupils, startling him into stepping back.

"Damn, what is this thing? It scared the life out of me."

Tai You collected himself and stared at the person in front of the door, seeing that there was no expression on his face at all.

He raised his hand, wanting to pinch it, when suddenly the other person's eyes turned and stared fixedly at him.

"Oh my, damn, is this a living person?"

Facing that gaze, Tai You couldn't bring himself to touch it, so he put his hand down dejectedly.

Looking at his face, he muttered, "Where did this NPC come from?"

Such an exquisite-looking boy; there's no reason he wouldn't have seen him before.

Qianye came out from inside and saw Tai You resting his chin in his hand, staring maliciously at the Baby she had just selected and brought back.

"What are you doing?" Her gaze towards Tai You couldn't help but turn menacing, as if he were trying to snatch her Baby away from her.

For some reason, Tai You read wariness in her eyes. He looked at the boy in front of him again, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Fine, she really is just a Little Girl; she just likes this kind of pretty boy.

"Where did you snatch this one from?"

Qianye glared at him. What kind of way was that to talk? What did he mean by "snatch"!

He clearly followed her of his own free will.

"Then where did he come from? There isn't a villager in this village I don't know!"

Qianye shrugged, "I never said this was a villager."

"Then what is it?"

Tai You suddenly stepped back, hugging himself, thinking of that father and daughter. "No, it can't be, did you let another one out?"

Qianye rolled her eyes, "This is a doll!"

"A doll!"

Upon hearing this, Tai You instantly perked up. Geez, seriously.

"It, it really is quite realistic; these eyes can even move!" Tai You pointed at those pitch-black eyes.

He was too embarrassed to say that he had been suddenly startled by these moving eyes.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Qianye stared at it for a long time, but the eyes didn't move at all.

"Hehe, Su Ye, where did this doll come from? I want one too~"

"Do you have one that's a beauty~" Tai You's eyes were sparkling.

He was curious too.

Qianye rested her chin in her hand, thinking seriously, then nodded earnestly.

"There actually is one!"

Tai You's eyes lit up.

"Isn't your identity a villager of Changsheng Village? You should go find Song Hao."

"His girlfriend was crafted by him to be exceptionally beautiful!"

"Huh?"

Tai You was confused.

"Girlfriend? Crafted?" It couldn't be what he was thinking, could it?

With a suspicious gaze fixed on Qianye, Qianye grinned at him.

In an instant, Tai You looked at her as if she were a freak; this person was truly daring.

"Then, do you mean that this one is also... crafted from a real person?"

Sorry, he had a bit of trouble accepting that.

"Pervert!" To actually craft a person into a doll while they were still alive.

"No, sorry, I, I wasn't cursing you." Tai You waved his hands; he didn't mean it.

It was just too cruel.

"To be this realistic, they must have crafted the person into a doll while they were still alive, right?" Tai You looked at the puppet in front of him with a complicated expression.

The next instant, the doll grinned at him.

"Ah!"

Qianye, who was fiddling with a small flower, shuddered, lines of annoyance appearing on her forehead.

"Are you sick?" Suddenly acting all jumpy.

"He, he, he..."

Qianye darkened her face, annoyed, "Who exactly!"

Tai You pointed at the doll in front of them, "It's him!"

"He just smiled at me!"

Hearing this, Qianye stared at the doll in front of her. Her expression didn't change; aside from its exquisite features, it was still the same dull, listless self as before.

Qianye didn't want to pay attention to him and chased him out directly.

"Don't disturb the time I spend alone with my Baby."

"Believe me! He really moved!"

Tai You was still warning her from the doorway not to be easily fooled by that face.

Qianye grinned, her eyes darting around, "Hehe, it would be even better if it could move~"

She hadn't found a boyfriend yet~

At the thought of this, the smile on her lips deepened.

Staring at the doll in front of her, she said in a chilling tone, "If you can move, you better hide well~"

"Hehe, it's very dangerous to be discovered~"

Twilight fell once again, and the night was filled with silence.

Tonight, Qianye stayed in her room obediently.

"Hmm, look, my skin condition has deteriorated."

"As expected, one shouldn't stay up late~"

Tonight she decided to get a good night's sleep. This game could be played at any time, but sleep had to be had tonight!

On the bed, Qianye slept in an uninhibited posture, with a pot of small flowers lying beside her.

The big one and the small one were sleeping quite comfortably.

The room was lit by a faint, flickering candlelight, and the whole room was so quiet that even breathing could be heard.

A dark shadow came quietly to Qianye's side, staring at her slender neck, licking its lips gently, and opening its mouth to reveal sharp fangs.

It bent its body slightly, heading towards that fragile neck.

Looking at the prey within arm's reach, the shadow under the candlelight appeared exceptionally excited.

The next instant, with a "bang," the shadow was pulled down onto the bed.

Startled, he quickly raised his hand.

"Oh, Little Flower, don't run around." The shadow looked down and saw that he hadn't been discovered; it was just someone talking in their sleep.

Now that the shadow looked up, the slender and fragile neck was right in front of him. Smelling the fragrant scent of food, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and slowly opened his mouth wide.

He bit towards the neck that was right in front of him.

With a "click," his mouth was stuck in mid-air.

His mouth felt something hard that blocked his touch.

"Hehe, Baby, I've caught you~" In the dark of night, this soft tone revealed a chilling air.

The shadow realized something was wrong and instantly wanted to break free, but the next instant, he was pressed down underneath.

The thing in his mouth was removed, and as the candlelight shone on it, he saw a flash of red sweep past.

Qianye lowered her body, staring at the boy beneath her, her eyes glimmering with a clear light, her fingertips gently tracing his neck.

"Baby~ you really are obedient..."

"Walking right into the trap, you really played it out clearly~"

"Hehe..."

"I didn't expect you to be so easy to fool."

This shadow was exactly the doll Qianye had brought back during the day; at this moment, he was glaring at Qianye with a ferocious expression.

His body twisted continuously; he hadn't expected that the person pressing down on him, though looking petite, would have such great strength.

He was completely unable to move.

"Hehe, go ahead and scream, see if anyone comes to save you..."

Her fingertips traced his skin bit by bit, "Tsk tsk, look, this angry appearance of yours is even more pitiful~"

Qianye lowered her head, pressed her body down slightly, and leaned gently against his ear, "You look like this, it really makes one unable to resist bullying you~"
