CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: EXPERT AT SHIFTING BLAME

Hearing there was a bigger Red Toad, greed flickered across the young girl’s face.

"Take me to it."

The young girl dropped her plan to teach Xin Lin a lesson and urged Xin Lin to take her to find the Spiritual Beast Red Toad.

"The stream is secluded, the Red Toad hibernates below, and if someone intrudes into its territory, it will furiously attack."

Upon hearing this, Ah Piao quickly advised Xin Lin not to act recklessly.

Xin Lin and Ah Piao were both just Basic-level Spirit Warriors; together, they were not enough for the Red Toad to devour.

"It won’t attack us."

Xin Lin subtly exchanged a glance with Ah Piao.

There is no free lunch in this world, naturally, there are no unearned losses either.

Ah Piao still wore a worried expression. The stream crossed half a mountain, and it was uncertain where the Red Toad resided.

That official’s daughter clearly was not easy to deal with, and if they couldn’t find it, she would definitely make a move against Xin Lin.

Xin Lin, however, was not worried about locating the Red Toad. She quickly closed her eyes, and a scene emerged in her mind.

Suddenly, a massive clam burst out of the water not far from the sandbank, shooting out several Ice Arrows.

"The Red Toad is over there."

Xin Lin pointed towards a water pool hundreds of meters away.

The stream in this area all converged into the pool, which, looking at night, was unfathomably deep.

Red Toads are naturally slow-moving, almost like snails, so the place where it sheds its shell must not be far from the shell itself.

"Miss, the depth of that water pool is unknown, and the water is bone-chillingly cold. With your noble identity, you should not take such a risk."

Several government officers stepped forward to investigate and reported back,

"You just interrupted something important to my lady; as punishment, go down there and lure out the Red Toad."

The young girl sneered and gave Xin Lin a glance.

Xin Lin cursed inwardly; the other party had the numbers and indeed was tough to handle.

Nevertheless, her swimming skills were exceptional, and once she entered the water, she could find an opportunity to strike against the young girl.

Xin Lin, looking completely meek, began to move slowly towards the water pool.

"Wait!"

The young girl suddenly raised an objection.

She frowned and glanced at Xin Lin a few times.

The little beggar was foolish and stupid, but the young girl always felt there was something odd about her, allowing her into the water pool could lead to trouble should she tamper with something.

Without another word, the young girl snatched the small bundle Xin Lin carried on her back.

Xin Lin’s eyes darkened; this woman truly had no shame.

The young girl thought by seizing the little beggar’s personal effects, it would deter her from any daring moves, but upon shaking Xin Lin’s bundle, it only contained a few worn clothes, nothing of value.

Just then, a thick oiled cloth package fell out of the bundle, containing an old talisman paper.

"Spirit Talisman?"

The young girl raised her eyebrows.

Upon seeing the Sealing Spirit Talisman, Xin Lin tightened her grip and whispered,

"That is a peace charm left by my mother, who passed away a few days ago."

She finished speaking, her eyes reddening as she began to sob softly.

Inside, Xin Lin, the small version of herself, was overjoyed.

"Take it, please take it; oh please, take this cursed thing away."

Although she had sealed the Rascal Corpse, Xin Lin never felt at ease.

She had tried several methods before, burning, tearing, but the Sealing Spirit Talisman remained intact.

Upon consulting the Heaven-defying Book, even a poor Sealing Spirit Talisman is deemed a scrapped immortal treasure. Xin Lin, a mere mortal, simply couldn’t destroy it.

Xin Lin had thought earlier about finding a place to bury the Sealing Spirit Talisman.

"It seems this talisman is very important to you. Keep it, and you go into the water to find the Red Toad for me."

The young girl looked arrogantly, motioning several government officers to push Xin Lin into the water.
