After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

【Huh?】

Suddenly, a strange, colorful voice echoed in my mind.

Luo Zhen was taken aback and quickly asked.

【What's wrong? So colorful.】

[Look at where it is; there's an array trapping it in place. It seems to have been kept here in captivity, feeding specifically on the flesh and blood of living people, which is why its horns are blood-red. Furthermore, influenced by the resentment of the cultivators, its personality has been cultivated towards that of an unparalleled ferocious beast.]

Upon hearing Banlan's words, Luo Huanzhen flew towards the Taotie cub while glancing around at its surroundings.

Sure enough, eight beams of light rose from the ground, vaguely forming the shape of a Bagua diagram.

The mythical beast cub was trapped in the center of this Bagua diagram.

As it feeds, countless hearts rise from all directions and fly toward it.

Who on earth is so despicable?!

Luo was genuinely a little angry.

unacceptable.

This gluttonous cub is being fed by someone, and it even eats live people!

The Taotie mythical beast continued to open its mouth wide and eat.

Its nature during its early years meant that it would simply eat and sleep, and then eat again after sleeping enough.

It didn't know how it was born and awakened in this place; it simply ate instinctively after opening its eyes.

At first, it ate sand.

The only food here is sand.

But one day, a monk brought a large basket of bright red, juicy fruits to it.

And stroke its head to let it eat.

It then realized that it had other food to eat besides "sand".

The monk had demonstrated to it how these small fruits were picked.

They are hidden inside the bodies of other people in the desert; each person has one fruit.

So every time it woke up, it would look for fruit to eat.

The monk who initially gave it the fruit would occasionally come to check on it.

Touching its increasingly reddish horns and scarlet eyes, it muttered things like "Peerless ferocious beast," and "You must obey me and serve me from now on..."

The Taotie cub couldn't understand what he was muttering.

It just wants to be full.

One day, it stared at the monk with its big eyes and suddenly became curious: Did he also have delicious red fruits inside his body?

So he opened his mouth and took a bite.

The monk flew into a rage and gave it a severe beating.

It lay on the ground covered in blood and barely alive, and it took a very long time to recover.

However, it never dared to bite that monk again.

Fortunately, the humans outside are not that powerful. The red fruits inside the body are easy to obtain, but the quantity is small and is decreasing.

It's often not enough to fill a gap between your teeth.

The cultivator came by a while ago and said he would take it to another place to find red berries to eat in a few days.

There's plenty.

It's so hungry.

It wants to eat its fill.

It has no way to go anywhere else; it's trapped here.

So it has been waiting here for him to come back.

The gluttonous cub roared, shattering the souls of the cultivators and seizing their hearts, while devouring them in large gulps.

Sudden.

Its attention was focused on a certain location.

Huh?

There's a tough spot; I can't even pick the fruit?

The Taotie cub tilted its head, its scarlet eyes looking at the round, ball-like creature at its feet, which was even bigger than itself.

—This ball belongs to Luo Huanzhen, who is fully armed.

At this moment, she had successfully arrived in front of Taotie.

The Taotie cub lowered its head and stared seriously at Luo Huanzhen.

Undeterred, it stomped its foot on the ground again.

Click.

Luo Zhenhuan's defensive robes were torn into pieces and flew in the wind, but Luo Zhenhuan was unharmed.

Because beneath the robes, there are more robes!

The Taotie cub angrily spun around in circles several times and roared loudly.

It won't eat the red berries anymore!

It got angry.

It wanted to swallow this ball-shaped little man whole.

Just as a gaping, abyss-black maw descended from the sky, about to swallow Luo Huanzhen whole.

Luo Huanzhen took out a large fried chicken from his Qiankun bag and held it in front of him.

"Wait! Don't eat Zhenzhen, have this instead!!!"

Because Luo really did use a authentic food container to store these things, the aroma of fried chicken instantly spread the moment it was taken out!

Compared to the surrounding stench of blood, the aroma of fried chicken was slightly weaker, but Taotie was the most gluttonous mythical beast.

I immediately caught that faint aroma of fried chicken.

It suddenly closed its mouth and squatted down.

Its furry feet, as tall as a hundred-foot building, were huddled together, and its enormous eyes were fixed on what Luo Zhenhuan was holding.

It tilted its head, its eyes flashing with suspicion one moment and longing the next.

Is this edible?

It smells good.

But it's not on its menu; its recipe is for red berries...

But it smells so good.

I'd like to try it...

No no no.

This little ball-shaped creature provoked it, and it tried to swallow her whole!

Just as the gluttonous cub was about to open its mouth again, Luo Huanzhen took out a second, third, and fourth temptation from his Qiankun bag:

Iced tofu pudding, braised pig's trotters, spicy braised duck, sweet and sour milk cake...

Luo Huanzhen set out the stall while shouting.

"And also, if you don't like these, there are other options!"

She bent over and frantically arranged the offerings on the ground, and all sorts of intricate and complex aromas immediately filled the nostrils of the gluttonous cub.

The hesitation and doubt on the Taotie cub's face turned into longing.

It's delicious.

It smells delicious!

It looks delicious!

It smells much better than red berries!

It had never seen such delicious food before!

It's such a waste to eat this...

Oh, and it can shrink.

With a single thought, the gluttonous cub's enormous body began to shrink.

Finally, it turned into the size of a small dog, round and chubby.

It squatted in place, impatiently stomped its feet, and then, with a loud gulp, snatched a fried chicken away.

It's so delicious.

It swallowed it whole, its scarlet pupils sometimes bulging, sometimes rounding, and sometimes turning into little hearts.

Then continue stomping your feet and running towards the next food.

[There's potential. It likes these things, it likes them all.]

In her mind, Banlan was constantly watching what was happening outside.

When Luo Zhen was preparing the food, he was a little apprehensive, as he couldn't guess what this divine beast cub liked to eat.

But when they arrived here and discovered that it had only ever eaten the hearts of living people, their worries lessened considerably.

It's good that I haven't eaten anything else.

People are more easily tempted if they haven't tried it before.

Luo Zhen glanced at the Taotie, which was already sucking things in with a whirlwind, howling incessantly. It was moving so fast that more than half of the things she had placed on the ground were gone.

In just a few breaths.

The Taotie cub had finished eating all the food outside and was squatting next to Luo Zhenhuan's hand, one eye bigger than the other, staring intently at Luo Zhenhuan's hand as he reached into the Qiankun bag.

Luo Zhen just took it out.

Before even opening the food box, it gulped down the food and the food box together.

Luo Huanzhen was completely bewildered.

"Wow, that's fast! Much faster than Zhenzhen eats..."
