Chapter 748: Retrieve the Red Rope
Xiao Letong shook Xiao Ling when he noticed how dazed he was.
“Ling ‘Er, Ling ‘Er, what’s wrong?” Xiao Letong called out anxiously.
When Xiao Ling saw the red rope, he let go of Xiao Letong’s hand. Then, he slowly walked to the bedside and stared at it without blinking for a long time.
Xiao Letong was shocked and immediately grabbed Xiao Ling’s hand. He asked with concern, “Ling ‘Er, what’s wrong with you? Answer me!”
Xiao Letong realized that the red rope was only a low-grade artifact. It couldn’t be compared to Xiao Ling’s jade pendant. However, Xiao Ling was drawn by the red rope.
No matter how he thought about it, something was not right. Especially Xiao Ling seemed charmed when he saw the red rope. Xiao Letong was anxious. He called Xiao Ling a few times, but there was no response. Just as Xiao Letong was about to use a spell to wake him up, Xiao Ling suddenly called out, “Brother!”
“Huh?” Xiao Letong frowned and answered in confusion.
“Brother, I remember now!” Xiao Ling said.
“What do you remember? Tell me!” Xiao Letong said anxiously, “You can’t just say half of the story. That is a bad habit.”
Xiao Ling said at this time, “Brother, I remember now. This red rope is mine!”
…
“Huh?” Xiao Letong was immediately dumbfounded. “What do you mean?” They had thought about many solutions to deal with this mysterious immortal artifact, but they had never considered it would belong to Xiao Ling.
Xiao Letong asked somewhat anxiously, “Xiao Ling, what do you mean by this? Hurry up and say it clearly. I’m really anxious!”
Xiao Ling said, “Brother, you know that when I was created, I was in the shape of a jade pendant. In order to make it more convenient for the child to carry me around, they made a red rope and strung me around the child’s neck.”
Xiao Letong immediately understood.
Xiao Ling and the red rope came together.
“Is this red rope also a divine artifact?” Xiao Letong asked in puzzlement, “Otherwise, how could it produce a spirit?” Only a relic spirit could form a contract with humans and provide them with spells.
Xiao Ling shook her head and said, “No. This red rope is an abandoned red rope that the little fairy picked up from Yue Lao.”
Xiao Letong immediately understood. He nodded and said, “Oh, I understand!”
Yue Lao’s red rope was originally a matchmaking tool. They all had a certain level of spirit. Only by doing so would they be able to successfully stimulate the match.
After a long time of cultivation, they could generate spirit consciousness.
Xiao Letong thought for a moment and said, “Ling ‘Er, since it’s yours, let’s take it back.”
After saying that, Xiao Letong used a spell, and white light shot toward Leng Piaoxue’s wrist. Then, the red rope automatically left her wrist and flew directly into Xiao Letong’s hand.
Xiao Letong looked at the red rope in his hand and sneered, “Since it’s yours, Ling ‘Er, it’s only natural for us to take it back. This cruel and vicious woman is not worthy of using our things!”
Xiao Ling’s eyes brightened when she saw the red rope in Xiao Letong’s hand.

Xiao Letong didn’t give it to Xiao Ling directly. Instead, he held Xiao Letong’s hand and said, “Let’s go back!”
There was no need to kill Leng Piaoxue now.
Killing her would dirty their hands.
Now that she had lost the red rope, she had lost her most powerful weapon. Even if they didn’t kill her, she would combust on her own. This fate was worse than death for Leng Piaoxue.
Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling left the villa. Neither Leng Piaoxue nor the patrolling bodyguards realized that they were two uninvited guests in the master’s bedroom.
Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling used teleportation and instantly returned to the Gong family.
As soon as they entered the room, Xiao Letong quickly set up a soundproof spell and turned the illusory pillows back to normal.
Then, Xiao Letong held the red rope in his hand and said, “Ling ‘Er, this spirit seems to have suffered a backlash. Its injuries are very serious, and it seems to be in a deep sleep recuperating! The injuries caused its aura to leak, and that’s why you could sense its existence.”
Xiao Ling’s small face immediately said agitatedly, “It must be Leng Piaoxue. Some time ago, she killed a mortal, and now she and the spirit have both suffered the backlash.”
Xiao Letong also nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, that must be Leng Piaoxue’s doing. But this is a good thing too. Since the red rope is in hibernation, it means that Leng Piaoxue can’t do any bad things!” Having said that, he paused for a moment and said with a gloating expression, “And did you notice? Leng Piaoxue is disfigured due to the backlash.”
Leng Piaoxue lay on the bed and looked very normal.
However, Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling were not ordinary people. They could see that Leng Piaoxue was unusual at a glance.
Xiao Ling thought back to what he saw and said, “Yes. I’m glad.” He didn’t know much about the world, but he knew that Leng Piaoxue was a bad woman. Of course, he was happy that she was disfigured.
Then, his eyes were bright as he looked at the red rope in Xiao Letong’s hand.
Xiao Letong saw Xiao Ling’s serious and eager eyes and said with a smile, “Well, I’ll return this to you. But the red rope suffered a backlash and was seriously injured. Let me heal him.”
Xiao Ling immediately stopped him, “No, brother. This is God’s punishment for him. Whether he did it intentionally or not, he has harmed mortals.” At this point, Xiao Ling’s innocent eyes revealed some coldness as he looked at the red rope and said, “Besides, Little Red must have done many bad things when he was with Leng Piaoxue. Whether it was voluntary or forced, he must be punished!”
“Little Red?” Xiao Letong heard the name and smiled. “Who named him?”
Xiao Ling said, “I did. He’s a red rope, so I call him Little Red. It’s easy to remember!”
“Okay!” If it was Xiao Ling who named the red rope, then it was nothing weird. He didn’t know the normal naming conventions.
Xiao Letong asked, “Then shall we wake him up to ask him questions?”
Xiao Ling thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay, let’s wake him up!”
Xiao Letong nodded, then made a hand gesture, and white light shot in.
A moment later, they heard a slight moan.
“Huh?” The voice was a little confused.
“Little Red, are you awake?” A voice entered red rope’s ears even though he technically didn’t have any ears. But when he heard this voice, he was even more confused. “Who is this? The voice is very familiar!”
Then, he suddenly became excited. “It’s Penpen!” Only Penpen would call him Little Red. The Pen was a short form for Pendant.
Then, he woke up. He opened his eyes and saw two children’s faces in front of him.
He looked at a fat and tender face and then looked at the thin face.
Then, he said excitedly and happily to the thin-faced child, “Penpen, is that you? Is that you? Penpen could actually transform into a human. This is great!
Xiao Ling poked at Little Red and said with a smile, “Of course it’s me. It’s only been a while. Have you forgotten me?”
Little Red suddenly burst into tears. “Penpen, how could I forget you? Penpen, I miss you so much!”
Xiao Ling’s finger brushed the red rope. He appeared to be wiping away Little Red’s tears. “Alright, stop crying. We haven’t seen each other for more than 10,000 years. You still like to cry.”
Little Red said indignantly, “Penpen, I really miss you. I’m really scared when you’re not by my side. I’m so happy to see you now!”
Xiao Ling said, “Alright, alright, stop crying. We won’t be separated from each other in the future, Alright?”
Little Red’s crying immediately stopped. Then, he asked suspiciously, “Really?”
“Yes, of course, it’s true! We have taken you away from Leng Piaoxue.” Xiao Ling told Little Red.
