Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 386 - 288: The Calamity of Taotie

After attending a few harvest festivals, Zhao Yi basically had nothing to do.

Feeling bored, he started trying to comprehend the Path of Chaos.

It turned out that talent is truly scarce.

Zhao Yi found a cushion to sit on, and every day he gazed up at the Chaos Void, nearly blinding himself, yet he didn’t grasp even a bit of the Path of Chaos.

At this moment, Zhao Yi finally could understand Ancestor Zhao Xuan’s despair.

He truly couldn’t imagine how Zuo Xiaoluo managed to comprehend the Path of the Blade just by chopping vegetables.

When Ancestor Zhao Xuan heard about Zhao Yi’s situation, he appeared unexpectedly.

He came to Zhao Yi’s side, watched him staring blankly into the void, and asked, "Did you figure anything out?"

Zhao Yi turned around confusedly, saw Zhao Xuan, and finally snapped back to reality: "Ancestor, did you discover anything?"

Zhao Xuan’s mouth twitched: "I haven’t discovered anything, so I came to ask you."

Then, as if recalling something, he suddenly said, "Your little maid seems to have entered the Dao too."

Hmm?

Zhao Yi was taken aback: "Who are you talking about?"

Zhao Xuan replied expressionlessly: "That yellow-haired girl who eats like a starving ghost and never seems full."

Little Poison?

Zhao Yi was instantly shocked: "She entered the Dao? How is that possible? She doesn’t even have a brain, how could she enter the Dao?"

Zhao Xuan clearly couldn’t understand it either: "I don’t know, but she has indeed entered the Dao. I sensed a rule aura on her similar to the Path of the Blade, it should be the aura of the Dao Rule for sure."

Zhao Xuan looked bewildered: "You can enter the Dao by eating, that’s unexpected."

Eating?

Zhao Yi was completely unsettled this time: "Why eating? Shouldn’t it be poison?"

Zhao Yi remembered Little Poison seemed to have an Innate Poison Body, so even if she entered the Dao, it should be the Path of Poison, why is it eating?

Speaking of eating, shouldn’t it be Taotie more likely? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Zhao Yi asked: "What about Taotie, has it entered the Dao?"

"No."

Speaking of Taotie, Zhao Xuan instantly looked disdainful.

After discovering Little Poison entered the Path of Eating, like Zhao Yi, he immediately thought of Taotie and secretly observed it for several days, finally reaching a conclusion.

"It’s just a useless beast that can only eat!"

Zhao Yi fell silent instantly.

Although he hadn’t gone out these days, he heard a lot about the situation outside.

Taotie, once a Fierce Beast, now had transformed into the most popular gourmet in the New World.

Because of the New Era’s massive crop yields and extremely fertile land, casting some seeds could feed a family for a year.

Therefore, the status of grain became very awkward.

From the initial joy of bountiful harvests, it turned into the headache of where to place excess food, how to store it, and how to prevent decay.

At this time, if someone could help a family consume some surplus food, they would definitely become the most welcomed guest of that family.

Such a situation was unimaginable in the past.

But now it was happening for real.

The title of gourmet should have belonged to Little Poison, but Little Poison overate corn a few days ago, and was busy refining Spiritual Energy, then Taotie took advantage of the situation.

Taotie, with its Fierce Beast body, had a much stronger endurance than Little Poison.

Little Poison couldn’t handle eating one ear of corn, whereas Taotie could munch through a field.

This discovery instantly delighted the farmers who were originally worried about their full granaries.

Then, Taotie’s happy days began.

Opening its eyes every day greeted it with various delicious foods.

Rice, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, wheat, soybeans... Taotie only needed to open its mouth, and people incessantly filled it with all sorts of treats.

On the first day, Taotie was a bit embarrassed.

In its memory fragments, since the birth of Taotie’s lineage, none had eaten a proper full meal like this.

After all, they ate too much in one sitting.

Taotie counted today, and it had almost emptied the warehouses of over ten households.

Taotie felt embarrassed, since the New Year was still far away, it didn’t know how they would manage their lives ahead.

However, the family didn’t seem to care, instead they thanked it when it left, leaving Taotie a bit puzzled.

On the second day, Taotie was almost delighted to death.

It thought the best decision it made in its life was clinging tightly to Zhao Yi after reincarnation.

Since following Zhao Yi for the past two years, Taotie hadn’t known a day of hardship.

Though Taotie was served by people in the past, it never worried about food and drink, but it wasn’t as free as now.

Not only did no one call it vicious, but it could also eat with its eyes closed, something the past Taoties couldn’t even dream of.

On the third day, Taotie was starting to struggle to eat.

It was like a dream.

Taotie didn’t expect that one day it would be unable to eat anything more.

In the morning it could barely open its mouth, but by evening it really couldn’t take any more.

Looking at the disappointed farmers, Taotie felt ashamed and lowered its head.

As a Fierce Beast known for eating, it found itself unable to continue eating.

The Taotie lineage’s appetite, although formidable, had a limit to its endurance.

Taotie was unsure how much food it had consumed over the past two days, with the chaotic spiritual energy rampaging through its meridians, it had inflated it into a balloon.

If they continued stuffing food in, Taotie might just explode.

Seeing Taotie genuinely couldn’t eat anymore, the farmers, though disappointed, still understandingly waved goodbye to it.

Taotie buried its head in a pile of corn kernels, not daring to face anyone.

The Taotie lineage’s reputation was completely tarnished by it.

After a night of digestion, Taotie finally could stand up, albeit barely.

It stumbled out the door, ready to hide somewhere quiet and unseen.

As it walked, it almost cried.

The Taotie lineage being terrified by food, it might be the first instance.

It hoped that its memory fragments after death wouldn’t bring any negative influences on future Taotie.

Even if it does affect them, it hopes it’s not in the appetite area.

Future Taotie might not have such good fortune to cling to a good owner.

If there is no good owner providing endless food, and if they lack a good appetite too, future Taotie would be too miserable.

Just as it crawled out of its den, Taotie instantly froze.

Before it stood a sight of endless farmers as far as the eyes could see.

The New World was too large, and everyone had vast territories, resulting in farmers being a bit distanced from each other.

These were late-receiving-news farmers who heard of a Divine Beast here able to ease their burdens and had rushed to bring food overnight.

Seeing various grains piled like mountains, almost endless, Taotie blacked out and directly fainted in fright.

Zhao Yi was hearing for the first time of Taotie being scared into fainting by eating, his expression was indescribably delightful.
