OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!

Chapter 340: Intimidating the Child



The little girl's eyes widened, growing increasingly terrified.

All these were experts at the Golden Immortal Realm, but they didn't even last a breath's time in the hands of this old lady.

For her to kill me would be just as effortless.

Today, it seems I'm fated to die.

The little girl forced a bitter smile, thinking that dying quickly might be better than enduring this relentless onslaught.

Shi Nian looked at the little girl, examining her from head to toe and all around, her expression deeply troubled.

The little girl was ready to be killed in an instant, but Shi Nian just kept watching her, showing no intention of taking action.

Suddenly.

Shi Nian sighed and reached out her hand to the girl.

The little girl was already numb, sure enough, the final moment had come.

Whether she died by one hand or another made no difference to her.

Shi Nian's hand gently landed on her shoulder.

The next moment, the little girl felt herself being lifted into the air.

She instinctively clutched at the black cloak, completely shocked.

What...

What's happening?

Aside from this black cloak, she had nothing of value on her.

The old lady had merely picked her up just now; had she not been quick to react, the cloak would have been left on the ground.

She...

She wasn't after the cloak?

The little girl, reeling from the swift sensation, was thoroughly bewildered.

Shi Nian didn't use the Sky Escape Technique, but simply carried the little girl nonstop, zigzagging in several directions before finally choosing a secluded spot to land.

The little girl steadied herself and a flicker of hope ignited in her eyes as she looked at Shi Nian.

Does this person truly mean not to kill her?

There still might be a chance for her to live.

Shi Nian sighed and said, "It seems that I am partly to blame for you being discovered this time."

The little girl: "???"

She didn't quite grasp what was said at first.

Shi Nian coughed lightly and said, "Most of the Storage Bags, in fact, I picked them up. It seems like they have pinned all that on your head."

This little girl was actually very cautious; she targeted cultivators with low Cultivation, and wasn't greedy when taking Storage Bags. Feeling that she had enough, she retreated from the battlefield early.

However, this time when cleaning up the battlefield, because Shi Nian was there, she took most of the Storage Bags for herself, and that's how the activity came to be exposed.

These people naturally could not find Shi Nian, but the little girl was different.

Although her cloak was powerful, her Cultivation was too low to unleash its full effects.

Thus, she was inevitably discovered by those who investigated purposefully.

That's why Shi Nian felt that she might bear a tiny bit of responsibility.

Realizing what Shi Nian meant, the little girl suddenly understood, revealing a shocked expression: "You are that hidden figure in the void..."

Although there was no one around, Shi Nian immediately covered the little girl's mouth: "Be careful, the walls have ears!"

The little girl blinked, obediently nodding her head, and Shi Nian finally let go of her.

But this ordeal made Shi Nian feel uneasy again, so she took the little girl on another large detour before settling down in a different place.

"You should know that for a cultivator, one's trump card should never be revealed lightly," Shi Nian gritted her teeth, "But you've discovered my secret of hiding in the void. What do you think I should do to you?"

Before the little girl could speak, Shi Nian revealed a smile frightening enough to make a child cry, "As the saying goes, only the dead can keep secrets, right?"

The little girl tilted her head, not the least bit scared.

Though she rarely ventured out, she had lived in the Lost Land since birth and had grown used to the evil people there. How could Shi Nian scare her?

She even began to feel a sense of closeness to the old woman before her.

"Granny, please don't scare me. I know you are a good person," said the little girl.

Shi Nian narrowed her eyes, and the wrinkles on her face trembled, "Oh? A good person, you say? My dear girl, I'm afraid you've mistaken me. Do you know why I came to the Lost Land?"

The little girl looked at her with curiosity.

Shi Nian's smile turned sinister, "When I was outside, I loved eating children the most, especially tender ones like you. Because of that, I was chased and hunted, which led me to hide here. Now, the flesh on your bones seems even tastier than those outside."

As she said this, Shi Nian even licked her lips.

The little girl tilted her head, her gaze remaining calm.

Shi Nian: "????"

What's going on?

Was her acting not convincing enough?

The little girl was terrified of those Golden Immortals before, and now she's not afraid of me?

Seeing Shi Nian's effort to keep a straight face, the little girl couldn't help but laugh.

Her eyes curved, "Granny, don't scare me anymore. I know for sure you are a good person. Otherwise, how could you have kept a clear head on the day of slaughter?"

Anyone who has shed blood would be greatly affected on the day of slaughter.

This granny could still scavenge corpses together with her; she definitely had to be a good person.

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow, "That's because I have a secret technique that protects my soul. In fact, the amount of blood on my hands is beyond your imagination."

When she was in the Lower Realm, she had almost annihilated an entire Demon Clan.

During her cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique, she slaughtered countless beings of the Evil Path in that small world.

If we were to talk about who has shed more blood, there would not be many in the Lost Land with more than Shi Nian.

Shi Nian was serious, which unsettled the little girl for a moment, but she swiftly regained her composure, "Regardless, you are a good person! At least, you haven't killed me yet! As long as you don't kill me, there's room for negotiation, right?"

Shi Nian looked at her with interest, "So, what do you have to negotiate with?"

"I can give you the magic cloak. But you must promise to spare my life," said the little girl.

Shi Nian glanced at the cloak, not very interested.

Indeed, it was a treasure, but that was to others.

It could conceal one's figure, yet Shi Nian possessed the Sky Escape Technique.

It could isolate one's aura, and that was something her little system could easily do.

So for her, apart from trading it for some top-grade Immortal Crystals, the cloak had no other use.

Given her system's penny-pinching nature, trading for top-grade Immortal Crystals would involve being skinned by it, and the Crystal Stones she could get in exchange would probably be far below the cloak's actual value.

Shi Nian wasn't inclined to commit such a waste at the moment.

"You're not interested in this cloak?" The little girl was starting to panic.

Shi Nian revealed several sharp little teeth, "Do you think I need such a cloak when I can hide in the void?"

The little girl was stunned.

This treasure she valued so dearly seemed to mean nothing to the old woman.

Her nervousness increased, "I... I... as long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to do any work for you, like an ox or a horse."
