The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1720: The Cool Deadwood Stick

The withered branch started to transform, stretching from an inconspicuous stick into a wooden rod.

The wooden rod was smooth, adorned with ancient characters, and overall it was black-gray, which looked kind of cool.

Little Taotie froze for a moment.

The wooden rod flew to Little Taotie’s hand, as if inviting her to use it.

Little Taotie looked disdainful: "Why can’t you turn pink?"

Withered branch wooden rod: "..."

Little Taotie: "I don’t like you."

She pointed at Hua Jinyan: "You better go to him; you’re more suited to him."

Hua Jinyan looked perplexed.

This ugly thing is suited for me?

The withered branch wooden rod, feeling rejected, angrily smashed the ground, and with that hit, cracks appeared.

"Why don’t you... follow me? I quite like you." Nie Qing coaxed: "Don’t keep smashing; you might break open the seal, and then some big terror underground might come out."

The withered branch wooden rod stopped smashing but ignored Nie Qing’s suggestion, clearly looking down on Nie Qing, just like Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan looked down on it, with a hint of disdain.

Nie Qing: "..."

Lou Lan couldn’t help but burst into laughter: "It seems like it’s set on those two kids; you’re probably too old, and it dislikes you."

Nie Qing: "Even if you didn’t say it, I knew it. Now that you’ve said it, I feel embarrassed."

Lou Lan laughed heartily: "You’ve already lost face, haven’t you?"

Nie Qing: "..."

Though it’s true, but... was it necessary to say it out loud!

The withered branch wooden rod hovered around Little Taotie, constantly changing its form into a whip, then a bracelet, transforming several times in an attempt to become something Little Taotie might like.

Little Taotie shook her head disdainfully: "You’re all dark and gray, like you’re dirty; I want a pink bracelet."

Withered branch wooden rod: "..."

Forgive it, it can’t change color for now, only shape.

Finally, the withered branch wooden rod grew tired and stopped changing, maintaining its appearance as a rod, seemingly preferring to be a rod most.

Seeing its genuine effort and a bit of pity, Little Taotie glanced at Hua Jinyan, wanting to say something but holding back.

Understanding the principle of not imposing on others what you don’t desire, Little Taotie knew she shouldn’t recommend something she disliked to Hua Jinyan, but the withered branch seemed so earnest and a bit pitiful.

Hua Jinyan understood her unsaid words, reaching over to beckon the withered branch wooden rod.

The withered branch wooden rod was initially hopeless, ready to give up; if no one wanted it, then so be it. If it couldn’t resist the main body, at worst, it would be assimilated, ultimately... the little self-awareness it just gained would be erased, maybe no one would care that it once had its own little piece of consciousness...

Suddenly, a light shone, the light of hope.

It dashed towards Hua Jinyan.

These two kids both carried great Merit.

Following either of them would be its grand fortune.

From then on, perhaps it could truly become an independent entity, no longer fearing eventual assimilation by the main body, erased from existence.

"From now on, you’ll stay by my side."

Upon hearing this, the withered branch wooden rod was extremely excited.

The wooden rod darted around like a skyrocketing monkey.

"Calm down." Hua Jinyan held his forehead, somewhat regretting the decision now.

Fortunately, the withered branch wooden rod was obedient, stopping dutifully in front of Hua Jinyan.

Hua Jinyan: "Shrink."

The withered branch wooden rod quickly shrank, finally landing in Hua Jinyan’s palm, resembling a needle.

Little Taotie came over to look, "Kind of like Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang."
