Chapter 539: Chapter 535 Splendidly Fainted

[Fang Xiaocao: Hot Noodles is right. Don’t be fooled by Taotie’s foolishness. His talent in martial arts is something many can’t achieve in a lifetime.]

Fang Xiaocao could tell that Hot Noodles’ evaluation of Taotie was exceptionally high.

[Fang Xiaocao: Got it.]

Having received the answer she wanted, Fang Xiaocao decided not to bother Hot Noodles any longer.

Hot Noodles had mentioned earlier.

This was her examination.

During the examination, Hot Noodles wouldn’t provide any help to Fang Xiaocao.

Now that Hot Noodles explained the usage of Shu Han Romance, it was already a big help.

Even if Hot Noodles said nothing, Fang Xiaocao knew her limits and wouldn’t push her luck in this matter.

Although Hot Noodles was her future self, Fang Xiaocao knew that she was not Hot Noodles’ only past. As Hot Noodles said before, if Fang Xiaocao couldn’t pass the examination smoothly, Hot Noodles could cultivate another past self at any time.

At a certain point, the past self that met Hot Noodles’ satisfaction would gradually become the future Hot Noodles.

Crunch—

Fang Xiaocao opened the door to the room.

Today’s guard was Unhappy.

Seeing Unhappy, Fang Xiaocao shook her head helplessly and closed the door again.

This left Unhappy feeling rather puzzled.

Fang Xiaocao initially planned to act authoritative and have the gatekeeper call Taotie over.

She wanted to enjoy the treatment of a wealthy family’s eldest daughter, but to her surprise, it was Unhappy the fool standing outside the door.

Getting Unhappy, who could only say foolish things, to call Taotie over was obviously unrealistic, as the two blockheads would definitely end up fighting.

Without hesitation, Fang Xiaocao shut the door, choosing to ignore Unhappy, as if she hadn’t seen the person.

[Fang Xiaocao: Fool, come to this princess’ room quickly. This princess has a reward for you.]

Fang Xiaocao didn’t explicitly say what it was.

Instead, she left a mystery for Taotie.

Fang Xiaocao knew Taotie too well; the more mysterious it was, the quicker he’d come.

Fang Xiaocao sat on the sofa, raised three fingers, and silently counted: "Three, two, one!"

As soon as the word "one" left Fang Xiaocao’s mouth.

Knock, knock, knock—

Someone knocked on Fang Xiaocao’s room door.

The next second!

"Princess Your Highness, I’m here!"

Taotie’s rough voice boomed.

Fang Xiaocao smiled slightly, "You came!"

Fang Xiaocao already knew that the more mysterious the invitation, the quicker Taotie would arrive.

Crunch—

The room door lock was opened.

Fang Xiaocao pushed the door open, and Taotie’s big face appeared in view.

Taotie laughed slyly, "Hehe."

"Princess Your Highness, I’m here."

Taotie’s laugh resembled that of a wrinkly shar-pei dog.

Very ingratiating, with a face full of wrinkles.

Fang Xiaocao rolled her eyes at Taotie, "Come in."

Fang Xiaocao stepped aside to let Taotie enter the room.

Taotie obediently walked into Fang Xiaocao’s room.

Fang Xiaocao closed the door and looked at Taotie.

"Sit!"

Fang Xiaocao, sitting on the sofa, said with a smile.

Taotie was uneasy by Fang Xiaocao’s smile.

Suddenly, he had a bad premonition.

"Um, well..."

"Princess Your Highness, how about I head back for now?"

Taotie gulped with difficulty.

Despite Taotie’s usual foolishness, his mind was quite sharp. When faced with danger, he could flee faster than a rabbit.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the door.

"Stop!"

Fang Xiaocao shouted coldly.

Taotie halted and turned to look at Fang Xiaocao.

"Get back here!"

Fang Xiaocao glared at Taotie and commanded coldly.

"Okay..."

Taotie responded and obediently returned to Fang Xiaocao’s side, "Princess Your Highness, I’m back."

Taotie tried to soften Fang Xiaocao with a cheeky smile.

Nobody understood Fang Xiaocao’s ferocity better than Taotie.

After all, Taotie was a frequent victim of Fang Xiaocao’s fierceness, often getting disciplined.

Looking at the defeated and humble Taotie, sitting on the sofa with a face full of ingratiation, Fang Xiaocao stopped playing and took out the Shu Han Romance, throwing it to Taotie.

"Open it and take a look."

"There’s an unexpected surprise inside."

Fang Xiaocao leaned back on the sofa and spoke in a low voice.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Taotie was taken aback.

"Surprise?"

Taotie looked at Fang Xiaocao with suspicion.

Although he doubted Fang Xiaocao’s intentions, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity and casually opened the painting scroll, revealing the contents of the ancient painting.

Taotie didn’t consider that the painting in his hands was the same one Fang Xiaocao just spent two billion on at an auction.

After all, this kind of treatment was something Taotie never even dreamed of, let alone in reality.

"Whoa!"

As the painting scroll opened, Taotie exclaimed.

Under Fang Xiaocao’s gaze, Taotie rolled his eyes and dramatically fainted on the spot.

Yes, Taotie fainted.

He fainted just by looking at the painting.

Taotie’s exaggerated reaction startled Fang Xiaocao, leaving her momentarily dumbfounded.

"What’s happening?"

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed.

She quickly ran to Taotie, reaching out to check his breathing.

Confirming that Taotie was still alive, merely unconscious, Fang Xiaocao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Xiaocao crouched by Taotie’s side, looking at the fainted Taotie, feeling quite at a loss.

"Is this a normal reaction?"

"Hot Noodles didn’t mention this?"

"What should I do?"

Fang Xiaocao’s mind was filled with questions.

She truly didn’t know if Taotie’s reaction was normal or if something went wrong.

Fang Xiaocao looked at Taotie with a face of indecision.

After hesitating for a few minutes, she ultimately decided to gamble on Taotie’s fate.

Since Taotie had already seen this painting, worth two billion, according to Hot Noodles, it was already considered wasted.

Regardless of whether Taotie’s reaction was normal, it didn’t change the fact that the two billion was gone.

Given the situation, she might as well take a gamble on Taotie’s fate.

Gambling that Taotie’s reaction was normal.

What if Taotie awoke as a super master?

That would be a win-win, the two billion wouldn’t have been wasted, and Taotie’s life would be saved.

If, by any chance...

Taotie didn’t wake up.

Having two billion to accompany him in the afterlife wouldn’t be in vain for their master-servant relationship.

It’s as if Taotie was going ahead to the Underworld to prepare a place for her.

After all, if Taotie couldn’t successfully become a super master, she could barely escape from Zuo Ci and his super masters, as well as the joint chase by the Blacklist and the Pawnshop.

Fang Xiaocao would eventually go down to join Taotie.

Not just Fang Xiaocao herself, but Tom, Unhappy, Mantis, even those far away in Tang City like Thousand Faces and Jiang Xinyan, along with the entire Phoenix Nest and Swan Goose, would all accompany Taotie.

After all, under a fallen nest, no eggs can remain intact.

These forces loyal to Fang Xiaocao would be hard-pressed to escape. Neither Zuo Ci nor the Blacklist, nor the Pawnshop, would spare them.

They would undoubtedly find ways to kill them.

Then they would devour all of Fang Xiaocao’s wealth.
