At this very moment, the so-called child finally grew anxious. However, looking towards Jiang Fan's direction, it seemed his efforts were proving effective.
"Don't worry, just look at Jiang Fan's side. Isn't it working out well over there? How could I possibly lie to you? If it were useless, why would I even mention it to you?"
"I've been in this world for so many years, naturally, I've acquired some knowledge. If I knew nothing, wouldn't I have wasted all this time here? This place is far from easy to endure."
Upon hearing this, Yao, who had been standing by, finally believed the child.
He then followed and stepped outside. Only after discovering that nothing was attacking him did he truly relax.
"It seems to actually be somewhat useful. Does that mean I don't have to be afraid anymore?"
Saying this, Zhou Niannian also covered herself entirely with the juice of the other shore flowers.
Seeing these half-human, half-beast creatures, which had previously instilled great fear in them, Zhou Niannian was no longer afraid. Instead, she arrogantly walked into the midst of them.
It was evident that these other shore flowers were highly effective.
"It really works! These creatures aren't attacking us! It looks like we're invincible now! We don't need to escort any more Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons. Jiang Fan!"
As Zhou Niannian spoke, Jiang Fan, standing beside her, quickly nodded.
"It seems to be just as you said. The moisture from this other shore flower can help us conceal our identities."
"However, even so, we cannot afford to be careless. If we are truly caught by these creatures, it will be difficult to escape. Whether obtaining the core will be useful, I'm not sure."
"That king just now lied to me. Clearly, he already knows we've arrived here, so he won't be taking things lightly either."
After saying this, Zhou Niannian nodded with a confident expression and then said to Jiang Fan.
"It's okay, don't worry. Look, these creatures have no idea we're alive. They all think we're just like them, spirits of the dead."
"This is too awesome!"
It was clear that Zhou Niannian had become addicted to the game again. Faced with the monsters that had been chasing her moments ago, but could no longer attack her, she was overjoyed.
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream also understood that this was the real Zhou Niannian.
"Look, our Sister Zhou is letting loose again. She's not afraid of these things at all now. Thinking back to when she was running for her life, she was almost in tears."
"That's true! Fortunately, Jiang Fan bravely chose to go into that palace himself. Otherwise, she would have been scared to tears by all those monsters by now."
"But now that she can be so brazen, it naturally proves it's quite safe. It's actually pretty fun."
"Exactly. Just by smearing this stuff on, these spirits think we're one of them. I've learned something new!"
"In the future, I must prepare a few other shore flowers at home. If a situation like this arises, I'll just smear them on myself and they'll think I'm their kin."
At this time, Yao, Dai Xiaomei, and Gun Gun on the other side also slowly walked out.
When Jiang Fan looked at this child, he found it somewhat unbelievable. This child clearly possessed a composure and calmness beyond his apparent age, and his appearance suggested he wasn't that young.
"Your age can't possibly be as young as you look. I don't think you're as simple as you appear."
Upon hearing this, the child in front of him chuckled awkwardly and then said to Jiang Fan.
"I didn't expect you to guess. It's true, as you said. My age is different from my appearance. I'm very old, but I only died at this age. After all these years, my body hasn't grown at all, but my mind has matured considerably."
"So, when you look at me, you might think I'm a child, but in reality, we're all older than you."
"Even in this state, I have lived for nearly a thousand years."
Jiang Fan was stunned upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected that this ghost, who looked like a child, had lived for nearly a thousand years. His age was by no means insignificant compared to his own. If that were the case, he'd have to call this person "Grand Master."
Zhou Niannian, hearing this news, was not frightened but incredibly excited. She walked over and pinched the child's cheek.
"Don't lie to me! With your looks, you've lived for thousands of years? Are you joking with me? But you're really interesting. You look so funny! I love your face."
The child was quite helpless. After all, it was the first time he had encountered someone as fearless as Zhou Niannian.
She had been chased like that just moments ago, and now she was acting so brazenly.
Are living people this arrogant now?
Jiang Fan quickly pulled Zhou Niannian's hand, signaling her to stop embarrassing herself.
Zhou Niannian, however, looked extremely reluctant and withdrew her hand. But since she had managed to pinch the child's cheek, she felt satisfied.
"What should you do now? If you continue to stay here, it might not be very safe. I recommend you find a place to hide quickly. Otherwise, you might be chased again by these creatures. If you get chased again, we won't be able to protect you."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan realized the severity of the situation. The king now knew of his existence, and even with the protection of the other shore flowers, they couldn't hide for too long.
After all, that king had seen his true face.
He, along with Zhou Niannian, were the only ones the king hadn't seen.
But his many subordinates before were all helping him hunt down Yao, Gun Gun, and Dai Xiaomei. So, if they saw these three again, they would still recognize them.
"We don't know either. We can only say we'll find a safe place to hide and come out when the time is right."
