Chapter 269: The Monster Who Doesn't Keep His Word

While waiting for his mother to hang the wooden plaque around his neck, turning around, preparing to hang the other two wooden plaques on Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray's necks, Wang Ping'an's mind stirred, and he permeated this wooden plaque with his divine sense.

Just now.

He heard the conversation between his mother and his master at the door clearly.

He knew this wooden plaque was the key to entering their home.

He was curious, checking this wooden plaque with his divine sense to see if he would receive a reward.

"Ding! You carefully inspected the 'Spirit Turtle Formation Wooden Plaque', congratulations on obtaining the reward: Formation: Spirit Turtle Formation 【Entry Level】!"

Not long after, a mechanically cold voice sounded in his mind, Wang Ping'an's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly absorbed the newly obtained knowledge.

This gave him a new understanding of the formation his master had set up in his family's courtyard!

Afterwards.

When controlling the Paper Person to enter and exit the Spirit Turtle Formation, even without wearing the wooden plaque, there's no need to worry; it will trigger the Spirit Turtle Formation, drawing his master's attention.

Time passed unnoticed, Wang Ping'an earnestly examined the method of laying out the Spirit Turtle Formation, his mother hung the wooden plaque on Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray's necks, then lay back down on the bed to rest.

Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray then left the bedroom under his control!

The black-hearted capitalist, who would not allow others to slack off, even if Hei Mao Bu Tou was injured.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a mighty aura spread, drawing the spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth to surge from all directions; the Wang family courtyard immediately appeared a huge monster, a gigantic Spirit Turtle.

"What's going on?"

The sudden change startled Liu Dongzhu, who had just lain down not long ago and hadn't yet fallen asleep; she hurriedly got up, instinctively walked out the door, and saw in the courtyard a frightening figure.

It was Hu Meiniang, who had come to her house just a few days ago!

Never expected……

Today she would suddenly break into her house again, with no Young Master Dai following her.

Obviously, the visitor harbors ill intent!

However.

Liu Dongzhu looked at her own courtyard, as if enveloped by a huge beast, being inside the huge beast, she might not see the details clearly, but could faintly guess it was a turtle.

Just.

Compared to an ordinary turtle, it was larger by an unknown number of times!

Liu Dongzhu immediately recalled that not long ago, Xuanqing Daozhang had told her he had successfully set up a formation at her house, called the Spirit Turtle Formation.

One would think.

It should be that Hu Meiniang's sudden intrusion caused the formation set up by Xuanqing Daozhang to take effect.

Liu Dongzhu gazed gratefully at the vigilant Xuanqing Daozhang, she had not forgotten how Hu Meiniang had expressed her attitude toward her family's Ping'an.

If.

Without this Spirit Turtle Formation to block Hu Meiniang's intrusion, she dare not imagine what would happen.

"Dongzhu, hurry back, keep an eye on Ping'an, don't let him get hurt!"

Xuanqing Daozhang warily gazed at the courtyard, where Hu Meiniang was temporarily trapped by the Spirit Turtle Formation, as if sensing Liu Dongzhu's grateful gaze, he gave an order, saying: "I'm here, nothing will happen!" He actually wanted to say: Liu Dongzhu should take Wang Ping'an and flee, while he would drag Hu Meiniang away; although the Spirit Turtle Formation was set up by him personally, it is a high-level formation known for its defense.

But the terrifying power Hu Meiniang had shown earlier left him little confidence.

Let alone driving Hu Meiniang away, it's uncertain whether he could even delay her.

However.

He didn't know whether Hu Meiniang had other means, having people lie in ambush outside; once Liu Dongzhu took Wang Ping'an and ran out, they could abduct Wang Ping'an.

The possibility is neither big nor small, about fifty percent.

But he dared not gamble; once Wang Ping'an fell into Hu Meiniang's hands, trying to get him back would be nearly impossible.

As an anomaly occurred at home, his mother hurried out, and Wang Ping'an immediately took a miniaturized Paper Person from his storage bag, sneaking to the window to watch the outside.

Seeing Hu Meiniang trapped in the Spirit Turtle Formation, Wang Ping'an also froze for a moment; logically, Hu Meiniang should have been after his Small Five Elements Sword Formation was set up……

To be precise, his Small Five Elements Sword Formation has already been set up, but Hu Meiniang shouldn't know; she should come only after ten days or so.

After all.

This novel you have reached

According to common sense, setting up a formation, especially a high-level one, couldn't be done this quickly; moreover, his Small Five Elements Sword Formation required him to study from scratch, not to mention having to forge the formation diagram and foundation himself.

Not to mention ten days or so, even three to five months might not be enough to set it up.

"Not, you monster, do you still have any morals? I already told you what we agreed on; I've said it already, letting you wait until I finish setting up the Small Five Elements Sword Formation before you come over—how can you go back on your word?"

Wang Ping'an couldn't help but retort: "Or do you not believe I can finish setting up the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, so you don't want to waste time?"

"Hu Meiniang, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, breaking into a private residence, what's your intention?"

Xuanqing Daozhang rebuked righteously.

Hu Meiniang trapped in the Spirit Turtle Formation had her view blocked by the formation, unable to see outside, yet she heard Xuanqing Daozhang's words clearly and sneered:

"What's my intention? Don't you old Daoist know it in your heart? I merely find that child cute and want to take another look—what's wrong with that?"

Liu Dongzhu suppressed her fear of Hu Meiniang with great willpower, her voice trembling, she said: "Hu, Hu, Hu Madame, my family's Ping'an is still sleeping; why don't you wait and come see him another time?"

Although Xuanqing Daozhang hadn't interacted much with Hu Meiniang, he could roughly guess what kind of person she was, naturally not expecting Liu Dongzhu's few words to persuade her to leave, he mocked:

"You dare to break into a residence today just because Ping'an is cute; who knows, after you see Ping'an, if you like him a lot, will you forcibly take him away?"

He dared not say it outright; even if Hu Meiniang sensed that Wang Ping'an had an Innate Dao Body, and even if she had guessed it in her heart, without having personally seen Wang Ping'an or examined his extraordinary traits,

there would still be some hesitation in her heart!

But if she learned from his mouth that Wang Ping'an possessed an Innate Dao Body, Hu Meiniang would likely risk her life to take him away.

Hu Meiniang smiled charmingly: "That won't happen; if that child is merely cute, I'd at most glance at him once, I wouldn't forcibly take him away."

Xuanqing Daozhang's pupils contracted; how could he not understand the meaning in Hu Meiniang's words? He threatened: "Hu Madame, you today broke into a residence; once it spreads, be careful the Demon Suppression Office won't let you off!"

"Demon Suppression Bureau won't let me go?"

Hu Meiniang smiled, as if she had heard a huge joke, and she said, laughing helplessly: "I haven't done anything that would provoke heaven's wrath and people's resentment; how could the Demon Suppression Bureau possibly not let me go? I actually also have a good relationship with some important figures of the Fengyin Prefecture Demon Suppression Bureau, and if I were to hand that child over to a certain important figure of the Demon Suppression Bureau, would you say he would not let me go, or would he reward me well?"
