Chapter 126: Thank You, Heroine, for Waiting Two Years
Um...
Was it not pretending anymore? It just directly turned into a human form?
As Heronie Wu walked, she couldn't help but keep glancing at the little girl beside her. The girl wore a halter top and a skirt in different colors. The fabric looked quite nice, once vivid in color but now softer and more subdued, yet still finely made. It was probably custom-made somewhere, and in Changjing, it would be considered good attire.
The little girl’s face was fair and tender, like a finely carved statue. Her hair was braided into pigtails, and she had a serious expression as if she was deep in thought. In that outfit, she was incredibly cute.
Earlier at home, Heroine Wu had not asked many questions, pretending she already knew to avoid seeming overly surprised or inexperienced. Now, however, she couldn’t help but take a closer look.
Yes, she had fought demons before. The demons she had encountered usually had some degree of cultivation skills, superior to their ordinary kind—more intelligent, capable of speech, and occasionally standing and walking like humans. But a demon that could take on a human form was a whole different matter.
“…”
The little girl, Lady Calico, was quite perceptive and could sense the gaze directed at her. She frequently turned her head, staring curiously at Wu.
However, Heroine Wu was also perceptive. Every time Lady Calico turned her head, she quickly looked away and pretended to be nonchalant, only to steal another glance once the moment had passed.
