Thoughts swirled in its mind, and it suddenly recalled a strange book it had perused at the library, which seemed to hold the key to understanding this scene.
It was something akin to do aim.
A shiver coursed through the black and white flower as it beheld the astonishing spectacle ahead.
Chapter 65.
Invasion of the void, the clan of ghost dolls stood in line, subjected to the whims of a peculiar little girl who took pleasure in administering strikes upon them.
Before each punishment, they dutifully offered her several spirit stones, akin to patrons paying for their meals in a cafeteria.
The little girl demonstrated a remarkable aptitude for her task, her fingers transforming into willow branches as she skillfully delivered blows to each ghost doll in succession.
Her movements were fluid and graceful.
Yet her expression bore a unique blend of numbness and irritation.
Her emerald eyes reflected a profound lack of vitality.
In stark contrast, the ghost doll all squirmed and cried out, their faces a blend of agony and ecstasy.
Their ghostly energies surged and contracted, fluctuating with the rhythm of the strikes.
It was a terrifying revelation that the ghost doll clan seemed to possess an innate fondness for being struck.
Observing the scene, Hai felt a twinge of despair.
How could a Lee possibly assist her? If in Ali Lee's world being struck was a source of joy, did that not imply that being beaten by by ear duo was a favorable outcome for her? Would seeking Ali Lee's help be misconstrued as a display of prowess? Suggesting that she could elicit the same treatment without spending spirit stones? What a frightful thought.
dragging her weary body.
He by Hua mechanically propelled herself forward, gradually coming to terms with the reality that this beating was seemingly inescapable.
As she reached the edge of the world, her strength waned further, her limbs growing soft and achy.
In a moment of distraction, she collided with the boundary wall.
Her vision swimming with stars by air duo had caught up with her.
Just as Hey by Hua resigned herself to the inevitable punishment.
She discovered that the pain had not yet manifested.
The force of the attack had propelled her away, but it was not as agonizing as she had anticipated.
She heard by air duo's urgent cry.
Ling Lling run.
As her vision cleared, she saw by air duo crash into her, shouting, "Hey By Hua, flee quickly.
It's a void monster.
Seek the ghost dolls for rescue and alert the elders.
" With clarity restored, hey by Hua beheld the blue membrane of the boundary, gradually tearing apart, a bizarre fish-like creature exuding a terrifying aura squeezed its way into their world, an embodiment of dread.
Its gaping maw was lined with a multitude of razor sharp teeth reflecting a menacing glint.
It sank its teeth into by air duo's rear, showcasing its overwhelming strength accompanied by a choking scent that threatened to bring tears to Hey by Hua's eyes, freezing her in a state of fear.
Fortunately, by air duo's impact provided Hi Bhua with a moment to breathe.
Once she regained her senses, she sneezed, tears streaming down her face as she leaped away in haste, crying out for help.
I am Zo Sulli Badul.
The void monster is too powerful.
I cannot contend with it.
But I must seek assistance swiftly to avenge you.
Bayer duo, you are a brave spirit.
Please, you must survive.
If you do, I would gladly endure your beatings every day.
As Hai wept, she continued her desperate flight.
In the void, the creature savored its food with delight.
Oh mother, divine beings above.
Today is truly fortuitous.
I have discovered a new divine realm.
Just upon my arrival, a feast of dectable delights awaits.
Observing its dimminionive form and plump round body, the creature anticipated a delightful taste.
With a decisive bite, it was met with an unexpected shock.
What is this poisonous? How utterly distasteful.
This bitterness and sourness.
It is nauseating.
It spat out the morsel in disgust.
The void creature felt dizzy and collapsed onto the ground.
Its white ears were flung to a distant clearing where its luminescent body shimmerred, still breathing, but marred by a bite mark on its glowing green rear, oozing a mix of red and fluorescent green blood, emitting an odor that repulsed the void creatures.
Numerous void beings surged through the barrier into the divine realm, disregarding their fallen kin and the unpleasantly odorous morsel.
In a gathering place of ghostly dolls, Lu mechanically whipped the dolls.
Time progressed.
Fixated on the spirit stone in one doll's grasp.
Lulu felt a pang of hunger.
Yet she refrained from seizing the stone, for Pi Pie intervened, explaining the divine realm's rules and revealing that the ghostly dolls were not intruders, but rather protectors employed by the divine beings for the esteemed spirits.
"I can protect you, too," Lulu muttered, perplexed as to why the divine beings sought distant guardians.
Nonetheless, she understood Pi Pie's message.
"These translucent beings deserved her respect.
" Having learned from her previous missteps, Lulu now wholeheartedly trusted Pi Pie and was willing to heed his guidance.
She acknowledged her prior mistakes and politely apologized to the ghostly dolls for her earlier indifference and harsh treatment.
Driven by hunger, she inquired of Pi Pie how she could trade for spirit stones, asserting her willingness to do anything.
Pi Pie informed her that only Ling Deu could facilitate such arrangements, suggesting she worked for the spirit tribe in exchange for food.
As a willow spirit, Lulu was closely aligned with the Sprite lineage, making her pursuit of employment with Ling Defu plausible.
Just as Lulu planned to work alongside Pi Pie in the spirit city, the ghostly doll Alice intercepted her with a proposal to assist the ghostly doll clan in their cultivation.
Upon recovering, Alice realized that Lulu s earlier whipping had left her feeling rejuvenated, her cultivation flourishing without the burdens of past injuries.
The brief discomfort had led to significant gains in her abilities and a sense of well-being, proving a worthwhile exchange.
Each ghostly doll faced a similar dilemma as the battlefield's divine resources allowed for rapid advancement, often resulting in ephemeral soul forms.
Lulu s intervention evidently addressed this issue.
Aware of the ghostly dolls affluence, Pi noted that their daily sustenance comprised various spirit stones.
With a job opportunity readily available, there was no need to seek distant alternatives.
Thus, Pi urged Lulu to agree to aid the dolls in solidifying their soul forms and enhancing their cultivation in exchange for spirit stones as sustenance.
Together, they ventured into the realm of the ghostly dolls to assist them in their cultivation endeavors.
Later, Ling Pip realized that its compensation spirit stones had gone to waste and could only console itself by considering it an investment in promoting Lulu's business.
Lulu, mechanically wielding the whip against the ghost dolls, had now learned to control her strength, delivering blows that were painful, yet allowed the dolls to feel a sense of corporeal solidity and increasing power.
Consequently, the ghost dolls emitted various cries of discomfort under her strikes.
Once the whipping session concluded, Lulu retracted the whip, accepted the spirit stones, and placed them in her mouth, reluctantly savoring them for a while.
She eventually chewed and swallowed.
Her stomach felt slightly more at ease.
Yet hunger still nodded at her.
No matter how much she ate, she could never feel full.
Hunger was a relentless torment for the willow tree.
Yet what could she do? Pip remarked that in the divine realm, there were no longer any fish for her to consume.
That kind of fish resided in the void, accessible only from the outside world.
Moreover, when it came to earning spirit stones, the Ghost Doll clan was the wealthiest.
If the earnings from the Ghost Dolls were insufficient, seeking assistance from Lord Fu would yield no better results.
She was also unable to leave the divine realm to catch fish.
Chapter 66.
A forest of willows observing Leoli as she struck the ghost dolls, empowering them in the process.
The ghost dolls began to ponder.
Could it be that all of this was intricately woven into the designs of the Everrand people? They seemed to hold a profound affection for our ghost doll clan.
Not only did they offer substantial remuneration, but they also enlisted the aid of the willow spirits to enhance our strength and encourage the little sprites to show us respect.
Could she possibly be attempting to subjugate the ghost doll clan? As this thought crossed her mind, Alice felt a flush creep across her cheeks, her excitement palpable.
How could they? The ghost dolls be worthy of such attention.
The Ever Grand people had invested so much thought and effort into them.
It truly was commendable.
