Chapter 26 - 22 Taoist River Map
The little creature was the size of a baby's palm.
Its skin was transparent, resembling a crystal doll, allowing one to faintly see its internal meridians and organs.
Golden spiritual liquid flowed through its veins, clearly containing an infinite life force. The meridians resembled meticulously carved silver rivers, shimmering with light.
At that moment, the jade hairpin Jiang Shouzhong had placed in a secret compartment of the wardrobe suddenly emitted a buzzing sword sound.
The jade hairpin flew out from the gap of the cabinet, pointing directly at the crystal figure.
The crystal figure was startled, then, with hands on hips, glared at the jade hairpin with a haughty look as if relying on some dependable backing.
It completely lacked the frightened demeanor it had when it first crawled out of the book and was intimidated by the other.
Seeing that the jade hairpin's murderous intent did not subside, the crystal figure shrank again, timidly pointing at Jiang Shouzhong, who was asleep.
The two sides confronted each other.
Eventually, the jade hairpin flew around the figure before drifting to hover above Jiang Shouzhong's forehead.
After hovering for a moment and apparently deciding the figure would indeed not harm him, it returned to the wardrobe's secret compartment.
