"Sister Yuanyuan, the skating shoes are catching up!"

Yuanyuan, caught between tears and laughter: "At this crucial moment, you still have time to give people nicknames?"

Little Taotie blinked, looking innocent.

Yuanyuan snorted: "With your current demeanor, innocence won’t work! Your viral popularity always causes trouble; if this task fails, it’ll be hard for you to take on such missions again."

Little Taotie: "..."

The little girl pouted, on the verge of tears: "I didn’t mean to, just instinctively... went to catch the fist."

"Forget it, you were doing a good deed. Given her situation, I would have stepped in too, but you’re a child, and catching the fist so steadily was too flamboyant; you’re definitely at the top of the trending list now!"

As Yuanyuan predicted, the post "Little Man, Big Power in Small Palms" had already reached the top of the trending list, pushing Grandpa Mei’s trending post down to fifth.

The top four posts were mostly about Little Taotie, Little Man, and the Big Stomach King.

Little Taotie sighed, the small figure looking old beyond their years, spreading hands: "I didn’t want to be famous."

The two sped up, finally managing to shake off Grandpa Mei’s flagship store manager.

However, they still couldn’t see any sign of the short White Person; Little Taotie relied solely on the lingering Yin Qi to confirm that the short White Person had passed this way.

The two stood at an intersection, Yuanyuan asked: "Which way do we go?"

Little Taotie furrowed their small brow, looking left and right, feeling lost.

"Can’t distinguish the direction?" Yuanyuan asked patiently.

Little Taotie murmured: "There’s lingering Yin Qi everywhere, he did it on purpose so no one could find him."

Yuanyuan frowned: "How about... we split up? No, no, better not, your troublemaking tendency, if anything happens, I won’t be able to explain. Let’s just pick a direction to follow, if we can’t catch up, then forget it."

"We can’t forget it; what if the task fails..." Little Taotie’s voice weakened: "Sister Yuanyuan, let’s split up and search."

Jiang Si caught up, initially thinking he wouldn’t make it, surprised to find them stopped at the intersection, allowing him time to catch up.

"Why did you stop here? Couldn’t find the way?"

Yuanyuan nodded: "That Hungry Ghost deliberately left traces on every path."

Excluding the direction they came from, there were three possible paths to choose from. With three of them, if they each took the lead down a path, one of them would certainly catch up with the Hungry Ghost.

But neither Yuanyuan nor Jiang Si wanted Little Taotie to act alone; firstly, because Little Taotie was young, secondly, because something about Little Taotie truly... made them anxious about potential accidents.

They intuitively felt that if Little Taotie acted alone, something unexpected would surely happen!

Little Taotie’s hands were firmly held, one by Yuanyuan and one by Jiang Si, leaving no option to slip away.

Little Taotie: "..."

The little girl drooped her head, feeling defeated.

Having failed the task, it would be hard to get missions in the future.

Head Grandpa would definitely lose faith in her capabilities.

Yuanyuan patted Little Taotie’s head: "Don’t get upset too soon. We can randomly pick a direction to chase. Maybe we’ll get lucky? You choose; your luck is better."

Little Taotie’s dim eyes suddenly lit up again, shining brightly as she looked at the three directions.

Each direction was filled with Yin Qi; apparently, he ran through them all, leaving misleading traces.

Which direction should we pick?
