Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 178: The Taotie Brothers in the Fantasy World

The two were in the middle of a fierce argument. The red-haired boy said indignantly, "Your cornucopia is filled with mountains of gold, silver, and jewelry. You can eat whatever you want. Why are you still greedy and want to steal my food from my big iron pot?"

The silver-haired boy retorted nonchalantly: "You are so stingy. I just want to taste the flavor of your pot. Is that not okay?"

The red-haired boy widened his eyes and retorted, "You have been like this since you were a child, always loving to snatch things from me. Fortunately, I had an owner before, otherwise I would have starved to death long ago!"

The silver-haired boy laughed loudly upon hearing this and said sarcastically, "How dare you say that? You've known how to please your master since you were little, so of course she favors you more. She always packs more food for you than for me, and every time she piles it up like a mountain. If I don't take yours, whose else can I take?"

The red-haired boy smiled smugly and said, "The master just prefers me. What can you do about it? I'll make you mad! I'll make you mad! Oo ol ol ol..."

After saying that, he made a face at the silver-haired boy, causing him to rush forward like a lit firecracker and engage in a fierce wrestle with him in the flowers.

Hearing their conversation, Luo Ying's thoughts seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, bringing up some scattered fragments of the picture. She seemed to see a strange creature that looked like a little cheetah, with two heads on its body, which were huddled together at the moment, lowering their heads to lick the food in the food bowl on the ground. The head on the left was obviously more greedy and ate very quickly. Seeing the mountain of food in the food bowl on the right, it actually pushed the head on the right aside with force, trying to monopolize the food.

At this time, a little girl about six or seven years old came over. She stretched out her little hand and gently patted the left side of his head, scolding him: "Tiaotiao, you greedy ghost, you are like this again! You always want to snatch the food from Tiaotiao. Stay here honestly and don't snatch it again."

As the little girl spoke, she moved her left head to the plate on the left. Tiao Tiao immediately showed an aggrieved expression and looked at the little girl pitifully. Luo Ying looked at this scene and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "This feeling... is really familiar!"

Luo Ying took a deep breath and tried to pull her thoughts back to reality. She thought to herself, "I need to change into an animal costume to make them let down their guard."

So, she carefully took out the demon-subduing bead that Feng Yequn had given her from her bosom, and whispered to herself, "Brother Yequn said that I can use the demon-subduing bead to borrow the skin of a monster, but which monster should I choose?"

Luo Ying's mind flashed with the mysterious and unique image of Taotie, a strange creature that was a cross between a sheep and a dragon, containing the blood of two completely different creatures. Recalling his previous analysis of Taotie, he knew that their hatred for the dragon clan seemed to be as deep as a mountain and difficult to resolve.

In this context, Luo Ying made a decision. She chose Bai Ze, who has many similarities with the Taotie's mother tribe, the sheep tribe, and has distinct sheep characteristics. Bai Ze's image not only embodies the gentleness and docility of the sheep tribe, but also incorporates a unique mysterious temperament, which is similar to the Taotie to some extent. Such an appearance will make it easier for the Taotie to relax its vigilance.

Luo Ying tightly grasped the demon-subduing bead that contained endless divine power. She concentrated her mind and energy, slowly activating the spiritual power hidden deep within her body. Under the stirring of spiritual power, she instantly transformed into the legendary divine beast - Bai Ze.

At this moment, Luo Ying was covered in a snow-white flowing gauze skirt, which seemed to be carefully woven from clouds, light and sacred. The lining was a golden tube top skirt, shining brightly, like a golden lotus blooming in the morning light, showing both nobility and gentleness.

Her hair flowed like a waterfall, white as snow, with a faint silver light, as if it contained the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The hair was skillfully woven into a bun like a ram's horn and coiled on top of her head, which made her look dignified and elegant, yet feminine and soft.

On the left and right sides of the bun, there is a pair of golden goat horns, which not only adds to Luo Ying's mysterious temperament, but also highlights her majesty and power as the Bai Ze divine beast.

After dressing up carefully, she walked gracefully towards the teenagers who were playing and fighting in the flowers, and her pleasant voice flowed out like spring water: "Hey, stop fighting, both of you!"

The two boys were playing when they suddenly heard a clear and pleasant female voice, which instantly stopped what they were doing. They raised their heads involuntarily, looking through the colorful flowers, and saw a beautiful girl in white clothes and snow-white hair looking at them with a smile. Her smile was bright and warm, like the rising sun, shining on the hearts of the two.

The two men stood up in a hurry, and frantically adjusted their slightly messy clothes, fearing that they would lose their manners in front of such a beautiful woman. They could not take their eyes off the girl, staring at her straight, as if they were deeply attracted by her beauty and could not extricate themselves.

The silver-haired boy blinked his bright eyes and asked curiously, "Where are you from, girl?"

Hearing this, Luo Ying gently lifted her white sleeves to cover her lips, secretly revealed a bright smile, and replied softly: "I just happened to pass by here, and saw you fighting in the flowers, so I wanted to come up and persuade you to stop fighting."

The red-haired boy stood up straight, ruffled his red hair, and said charmingly, "We didn't fight. Only children fight. We are grown men. How can we be so childish?"

After hearing this, the silver-haired boy pushed him aside and warned him in a low voice: "Didn't you see that my outfit is the same as mine? This is called couple outfit, do you understand? What does it have to do with you? Go aside."

The red-haired boy was about to lose his temper, but Luo Ying saw that they were about to fight again, so he quickly interrupted them, cleared his throat and introduced himself, saying, "My name is Bai Ze, and I was born from a piece of white jade that Huangdi found in Kunlun Mountain. Because I was placed on Huangdi's throne, I absorb the essence of heaven and earth day and night, so I can speak, understand the feelings of all things, and know the affairs of ghosts and gods. I will only appear when the "king is virtuous" and can eliminate all evil spirits in the world. What about you?"

The silver-haired boy could not wait to answer: "My name is Tao, I like to eat all the treasures in the world, many people in the mortal world like me very much, in their minds I am a symbol of making a lot of money and getting rich quickly, in the mortal world they also call me the God of Wealth!"

Hearing this, Luo Ying covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Oh! You are so amazing! We Bai Ze are a symbol of auspiciousness, representing positive qualities such as luck, wisdom, courage and tenacity."

Tao was so bewildered by her charming smile that he became incoherent in an instant: "Look, the two of us, one symbolizes auspiciousness and wisdom, and the other represents wealth and fortune. We are simply a match made in heaven."

Luo Ying was so amused by his sudden confession that she couldn't even stand up straight. She simply threw away her ladylike image and laughed heartily, "You are really good at making up stories! How can auspiciousness and wisdom be put together with windfall and wealth? They are completely unrelated!"

Seeing Luo Ying smiling so happily, Tao became even more anxious. He grabbed Luo Ying's wrist and said anxiously: "You and I are dressed the same today. Isn't this God's arrangement? We are a perfect match!"

At this moment, the young man in red seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Luo Ying over, and said to Tao: "Don't pay attention to him, my brother is like this, always feels too good about himself, he really thinks he is a charmer!" There was a hint of teasing and helplessness in his tone, but it also revealed his deep understanding of Tao.

He stared at Luo Ying intently, a trace of shyness flashed across his face, and he scratched his head embarrassedly, then spoke frankly: "My name is Tie. Although my biggest hobby is eating, I am more down-to-earth. I won't be like some people who brag about being the God of Wealth every day!"

After hearing this, Luo Ying gently touched his head and said with a smile: "You are still more adorable. Don't be discouraged. You love to eat, so you can be considered a food god!"

Tie's eyes were slightly red. He looked at Luo Ying gratefully and said in a trembling voice, "No one has ever been so sure of my shortcomings. You are the first!"

Luo Ying laughed out loud, with a rare sense of ease and open-mindedness in his tone: "Loving to eat is not a shortcoming! I also love to eat delicious food. Others call me a little greedy cat, and I think this name is also very cute! Many times, things have two sides, and the key lies in our attitude towards things.

She paused for a moment, her eyes revealing sincerity and honesty: "If we have a positive attitude, all slanderous words can be turned into compliments, or become the driving force for our growth; if we have a pessimistic attitude, even if others praise us, we will regard the compliments as ridicule, slander, and insults! Don't you think so?" Her words not only flow with the light of wisdom, but also contain a power that inspires people to move forward.

Luo Ying's words were like sharp arrows, piercing the dark place in their hearts that was shrouded in pessimism. It seemed as if it wanted to pierce that dark place and tear it apart to let the sunlight in. Under this sudden impact, the two brothers instantly fell into an abyss of silence.

Tao's voice trembled, as if every word was tearing his heart apart. "We were born of the Dragon King and a sheep, but we were ridiculed by the dragons. They laughed at us for being born of sheep and unworthy of being dragons. They laughed at us for not having any magical powers and for being trash!"

Tie took over the topic painfully, with an unspeakable bitterness in his voice: "They mocked us for being useless good-for-nothings, saying that we are the scum of the dragon clan, the shame of the dragon clan, and a disgrace to the dragon clan! They bring shame to the entire dragon clan!"

Tao followed closely behind, tears glistening in his eyes, his voice choking with sobs: "What makes us even more sad is that we originally thought that only the dragon tribe sneered at us, so we returned to the sheep tribe with good intentions, wanting to become their patron saints. However, our sincerity was mercilessly mocked and ridiculed by them. We seemed to have become pitiful creatures abandoned by the whole world. In this vast world, we two brothers can't even find the slightest place to stand."

As Luo Ying listened to their words, the same experiences that she had in the real world slowly unfolded in her memory, and an indescribable resonance welled up in her heart. Her eyes gradually became moist, and tears could not help but slide down her cheeks quietly.

She wiped away her tears gently and comforted them tenderly, saying: "I have had similar experiences as you, so I can especially understand your inner feelings. Only people who have had the same experiences can empathize with you."
