Chapter 36: Here Comes Another One

In the midst of Li Pai's contemplation, there suddenly came a faint noise from outside the room, this immediately put Li Pai and Snow White on high alert.

Inside this wooden house, there should be six evil spirits residing. If their strengths were roughly the same, then each one of them posed a significant danger to both Li Pai and Snow White.

The little girl on the rocking horse might be too lazy to kill them, but the other evil spirits might not be!

And should they meet any of the other five spirits and decide that the both of them needed to disappear, the outcome of that confrontation is not in their favor at all.

"Ah, is big sis going for a walk? I also want to go for a walk, but I'm too lazy to move." Said the little girl.

The little girl seemed to be enjoying herself, lazily rocking on the wooden horse.

“Umm… Little girl, a quick question, that big sister of your wouldn’t come in here would she?” Li Pai asked in a deep voice. At this moment, he hadn't completely stabilized the little girl, and if another one came...

"Ehehehe~ She will~" Giggle the spirit.

Then, the little girl on the horse pointed her finger at the place behind Li Pai back, “After all, she's already inside.”

Li Pai felt a chill down his spine. She's already inside?! He glanced at Snow White across from him. Snow White nodded, confirming the little girl's words.

"Ha… Hello, little one..." Li Pai greeted the new evil spirit while stiffly turning his head. Behind him, there was nothing, just emptiness.

'Eh, did I just get tricked?' Thought Li Pai.

Just as Li Pai was about to turn around, he suddenly noticed something below his line of sight.

'Oh, right, the evil spirits are all children…' Li Pai slowly lowered his head and indeed, he saw an evil spirit that looked similar to the little girl on the rocking horse. This evil spirit had its hands behind its back, tilted its head slightly, and its two empty eyes were fixed on Li Pai.

Li Pai immediately took a step back, maintaining a certain distance from this newcomer.

"Your soul are too weak, trying to eat you would just tire me.” Said the new evil spirit.

She then turned her head toward the girl on the rocking horse and said, "Élise, I'll leave these two to you, you haven’t eaten any soul in a while, right?"

The new evil spirit looked uncaring about their presence. In her eyes, Li Pai and Snow White were just two of the weakest souls, so weak that she didn't even want to bother opening her mouth to eat them.

"Hehehe, I doesn’t want to, I plan to let them stay and play with me~”

“If I eat them, there will be no one to rock my horse." The girl called Élise said with a mischievous smile as she continued to rock on the wooden horse.

Hearing her little sister's words, the new evil spirit frowned and coldly said, "Élise, If big sister finds out that there are other evil spirits here, she'll get angry, you can play with them for a bit, but don’t forget to devour them before she come back." The new evil spirit said coldly.

"Okay, Big Sis Charlotte~" Élise nodded.

"Don't think I don't know, you're too lazy to even talk, aren't you? Sister Sophie and Isabelle are clashing as usual, so I'll go deal with it first, and I'll come find you later."

"By then, I'll help you crush them and stuff them in your mouth." After saying this, the new evil spirit glanced at Li Pai and Snow White, as if they were lambs to be slaughtered, then directly passed through the wall and left the room.

The invisible pressure instantly lessened. Li Pai breathed a sigh of relief. But now was not the time to relax. That spirit would come back soon, and if they didn't come up with a plan within that time frame, he and Snow White would become food!

He had already died once in this world, he had been turned from a person to a soul. If his soul was devoured again, what would become of him? A piece of garbage? Then wouldn't he be unable to see Elora, whom he longed for, ever again?

'I must come up with a plan quickly, otherwise, we are toast!'

Li Pai looked at Snow White, hoping to find some way to make progress from her. Snow White let out a cold snort, appearing somewhat displeased. It made sense. Just yesterday, she was a level three evil spirit, and in this forest, she could easily intimidate most monsters.

But now... she was serving as a babysitter for someone she didn't even know was a level two or three evil spirit, rocking a wooden horse! What was even more frustrating was that Snow White didn't dare to stop! If she angered this lazy little evil spirit, who knew if she would suddenly become spirited enough to kill them both.

(I need to calm down, while it's still safe, I need to quickly gather some clues…) Li Pai steadied his thoughts. The current situation was very clear; it was impossible for him to leave this place, and the evil spirit from earlier would definitely return soon. When she did, if he hadn't come up with a plan, he and Snow White would become food!

So, he had to organize the clues as quickly as possible.

"Snow White... Snow White..." Li Pai's thoughts returned to the main plot.

"Snow White, the Queen, the Hunter, and the Seven Dwarfs..."

"If Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs have no direct connection, then, could the relation come from the Queen?”

Li Pai's eyes brightened!

The Wicked Queen!

'According to the nursery rhyme, the mother of these seven little girls cruelly murdered her own children in order to maintain her youth.'

'This behavior is highly likely to be the work of the Wicked Queen!'

'That's right! This mother took out her children's hearts and boiled them in a big pot; isn't that a witch's method? Furthermore, Snow White's stepmother, that Wicked Queen, is also a witch! It all adds up!'

Li Pai's mood was slightly uplifted. Thinking in this direction could explain many things! Why would the Seven Dwarfs help Snow White? Because they had a common enemy! The Wicked Queen! Starting from this point, it might be possible to convince these little evil spirits to let them live!

Li Pai calmed himself and planned to confirm his hypothesis with this lazy girl named Élise.

"Little one, may I continue asking you questions?" Li Pai asked very politely.

"You can ask anything~ After all, once my big sister comes back, you won't have a chance to ask anymore~" Élise said with a mischievous smile.

Li Pai's face twitched slightly. Speaking such terrifying words in such an innocent tone, the effect was indeed quite good...

"Do you... remember what happened here?" Li Pai intended to gradually extract the clues.

As soon as he spoke, the room's temperature dropped significantly.

Élise's two black hole-like eyes emitted a large amount of black aura.

Her expression changed from a smile to a ferocious one...

"What happened here..."

"We... we all died!"

"Ah! Right, It's all because of our mother!"

"She seemed to have changed out of a sudden! She turned scary overnight! My sister is all caught by her! She took out my sister's eyes, ripped open their chest, and took out their heart…”

“I tried to hide under the bed, but she still found me…."

“It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts, It hurts!!!!!!!!!!!”

The black aura grew thicker, enveloping Élise's entire body. With a malevolent expression, she climbed down from the rocking horse and, shrouded in the black aura, took slow steps towards Li Pai...
