513: Chapter 513 The Net Closes! The Celestial Poisonous Woman Schemes Against the Gluttonous Loli!

The third day, evening.

The setting sun soaked the entire Peng City in a layer of honey-gold light.

The crowd of diners in the main hall of Yingxian Restaurant gradually grew, the sounds of shouting and drinking rising layer upon layer.

Lin Wan sat alone in a corner by the window, having finished more than half a pot of tea.

She wasn't looking at the tea, nor was she looking out the window.

She was waiting.

Waiting for that little lamb she had spent three days and 500,000 high-grade immortal stones to feed bite by bite.

Sure enough.

Before long.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, a small head with sky-high pigtails peeked out stealthily.

Looking left.

Looking right.

Qian Duo's dark face was nowhere to be seen.

Wang Baobao's eyes instantly lit up.

Like a little hamster that had been stuck in a cage for three days and finally caught a chance to escape, she "whooshed" down the stairs and dashed straight for Lin Wan.

Clear target, precise route.

Running and jumping, her two sky-high pigtails swung like rattle-drums.

"Sister!"

She ran to Lin Wan, tilting her little face up, her large, dark eyes filled with four words—Hungry, want food.

However, this time Lin Wan didn't pull out an exquisite bamboo-woven food box like a magic trick as she had the previous three days.

Her hands were empty, and there was only a pot of tea on the table.

Wang Baobao's expression visibly collapsed, her small mouth pouted, and her eyes reddened.

"Sister... today, is there nothing delicious?"

Her voice was so aggrieved, like a three-year-old who had their last piece of candy stolen.

Lin Wan smiled at her appearance, reached out, and gently stroked Wang Baobao's little head.

"Silly Baobao, how could Sister forget you?"

"Today's delicious food is even more special."

As she spoke, she squatted down, bringing her gaze level with Wang Baobao's.

She raised her fair, slender hand, and under the pretext of tidying the stray hairs on Wang Baobao's forehead, her fingertips gently covered the little girl's smooth brow.

The movement was extremely natural, just like a sister who truly doted on her younger sister, helping her brush away the hair blocking her eyes.

"But, before eating," her voice was as soft as if she were coaxing a baby, "Sister wants to ask Baobao a few small questions."

"Only if you answer correctly will there be a reward."

Enveloped by that gentle gaze, Wang Baobao nodded foolishly.

"Mm! Baobao is the most well-behaved! Sister, ask away!"

The curve of Lin Wan's mouth deepened.

The dimples were still there.

The smile was still there.

But in the deepest depths of her eyes, something had turned completely cold.

Now is the time.

Close the net!!!

An extremely hidden force seeped silently from her fingertips.

It was a jade-green spiritual thread formed entirely from the condensed pure Divine Soul power of the Heavenly Immortal Seventh Heaven.

Thin as a spider's silk, yet it contained a terrifying corrosive power sufficient to crush any Divine Soul defense line.

The spiritual thread, like a living vine, followed her fingertips and silently bored toward the center of Wang Baobao's brow.

This was the heart-controlling secret technique unique to her Innate Hundred Flowers Immortal Body—the Hundred Flowers Heart-Eroding Gu.

Formless and substance-less, it specialized in attacking the Divine Soul.

Once planted, it could unconsciously erode the target's will, turning a living person bit by bit into a Puppet that only obeyed her commands.

For three thousand years, she had used this move to control traitors, enemies, and those fools who thought they could bargain with her.

Even a Heavenly Immortal of the same Realm, if caught off guard by this move, would have no chance of escape.

Let alone a foolish-looking little girl? It was practically effortless.

Lin Wan's dimples were sweet enough to be sickening, and her tone was extremely gentle, like telling a bedtime story to a child.

"Good Baobao, tell Sister—"

"Which Lower Realm did you ascend from?"

The first question, a probe.

Light as a feather, like a casual inquiry.

The jade-green spiritual thread advanced an inch.

"The Young Master in white clothes beside you, what is his name?"

The second question, locking in.

The spiritual thread advanced another inch.

It had already touched the skin of Wang Baobao's brow.

"On him—"

Lin Wan's voice dropped even lower, so low that only the two of them could hear.

"Is there any very powerful treasure hidden?"

The third question.

The blade.

The tip of the jade-green spiritual thread was already pressed against the outermost barrier of Wang Baobao's Sea of Consciousness.

Only one last step remained.

Just one more millimeter of penetration, and all the secrets in this little girl's head would pour out like water from an overturned basin.

Lin Wan's breathing didn't change, and her heart didn't skip a beat; three thousand years of cultivation had left her with no extra emotional fluctuations regarding the word "victory."

Victory was right before her eyes.

However, just as that carefully refined Hundred Flowers Heart-Eroding Gu, capable of controlling a Heavenly Immortal, touched the barrier of Wang Baobao's Sea of Consciousness.

A sudden change occurred.
