The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1705: Beautiful Ancient Costume Lady

Hua Jinyan keenly noticed that at the moment they entered, the flames of the three candles flickered with subtle changes. Such minor details were undetectable to ordinary people; only those with sharp perception could discern these delicate variations.

At first, Little Taotie did not notice anything unusual. It was only when Hua Jinyan stared at the three candles that she spotted the anomaly.

Little Taotie’s pupils widened, her eyelashes trembled, the flames reflected in her eyes, and the light in her eyes flickered with the firelight. She gently tilted her head and murmured in a small voice, "They seem different from other candles. The frequency of the flames flickering is faster, and occasionally, the flames soar higher."

Hua Jinyan nodded, "Their difference appeared the moment we entered."

"So, are they conscious? Because the three colleagues recognize us, the flames also recognize us. Can I boldly speculate that the flames appeared because they died, meaning the flames are their vanished Spiritual Bodies?"

Little Taotie’s dense eyelashes concealed her pupils and the firelight, while she somehow managed to produce a Pipe Candy.

Hua Jinyan: "..." At a time like this, you’re still posing?

Little Taotie took a bite of the Pipe Candy and lifted her eyelids, "According to my deductions and bold speculations, there’s an 80% chance that the flames are the missing Spiritual Bodies. If we can unravel the mystery of the candles, we’ll find the Spiritual Bodies of the three colleagues!"

She suddenly lowered her voice, speaking conspiratorially, "If we can’t find their Spiritual Bodies, I suspect that when the flames disappear and the candles are extinguished, they will also be lost forever, without even a chance to reincarnate."

"I have the same suspicion."

Upon hearing this, Little Taotie seemed encouraged and exclaimed excitedly, "Then let’s quickly solve the mystery of the candles!"

As Hua Jinyan and Little Taotie approached the area of the three candles, they saw the flames slightly diminish, as if external forces threatened to extinguish them at any moment.

Little Taotie hurriedly stopped.

Hua Jinyan also halted.

With a solemn expression, Hua Jinyan said, "It seems it’s not 80%; it’s actually 90%."

Little Taotie held her breath, afraid that her large breaths would blow out the pitifully small flames.

"What do we do next? We can’t get close at all. It’s like we’re being watched; once we get close, the flames will extinguish."

Upon hearing this, Hua Jinyan’s body tensed, his gaze becoming alert, "Being watched..."

Little Taotie was also startled.

"Oh dear, we’ve been discovered."

Suddenly, a voice echoed, sounding both like a young woman and an elderly woman, overlapping each other.

When they turned to the source of the sound, they saw the flames at the densest part of the candles suddenly leap up.

Simultaneously, the candles burned out at double speed. By the time a person emerged from the flames, those candles had burned out, leaving only empty lampstands.

Little Taotie watched nervously, her eyes glued to the three candles representing their colleagues, slightly relieved.

Thank goodness, the three candles were still lit.

Hua Jinyan was on high alert, staring at the person emerging from the flames, a stunningly beautiful woman clad in ancient costume. The red base with white floral fabric hung loosely around the collar, revealing a hint of pearly white skin underneath, yet not appearing overly suggestive.

Her hair was long, as black as ink, reflecting like a ribbon in the firelight, styled in an ancient bun worn by unmarried girls, with half tied up and half cascading over her shoulders.

The woman’s face had some baby fat, her eyes large and watery, glancing gracefully, with a gentle aquiline nose and naturally red lips—an exceptionally beautiful visage.

Little Taotie blinked her big eyes and murmured, "What a beautiful sister!"
