Chapter 3019: Chapter 3020: Just One Character Apart

Bai Ruozhu wasn’t overwhelmed by his emotions and felt a bit more relaxed. She tried to contact Quanxin and Furball, but sadly received no feedback.

She attempted to enter Space, but it was still impossible.

"Why don’t you try not focusing too much on me?" she suggested tentatively.

"Oh, I’ll try," he said, his body moved slightly, and Bai Ruozhu realized his whole body was indeed huge, and what she could feel was just a part of it.

She felt slightly more at ease, but she couldn’t get out.

After that, she tried some other methods, all unsuccessful. She remained calm, but Taisui started to cry.

"Boohoo, I caused my sister’s death before, and now I’m going to harm her again. I’m so useless!"

"Don’t cry. Your sister wasn’t killed by you; she was harmed by bad people. And you didn’t intentionally hold me here. Besides, I won’t die," Bai Ruozhu hurriedly comforted him.

"But I can’t send you back." Taisui said guiltily.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, and her heart suddenly felt a bit calmer.

"No rush, there’ll be a way eventually. I’ll stay and chat with you."

"Don’t you hate me?" Taisui asked timidly. His voice wasn’t as hoarse as before.

"Why would I hate you? You said that you’d been here for a long, long time, right? Besides, you didn’t intend to harm anyone. You’re also a victim." Bai Ruozhu comforted him softly.

Taisui felt happy, and Bai Ruozhu could sense his emotions.

"You must be my sister. My sister would never hate me."

"I don’t know if I’m your sister. Even if I’m not, I can be your sister, and I’ll find a way to help you." Bai Ruozhu said.

"Okay, sister, I don’t know your name yet."

He was as innocent as he was when he was a child. Bai Ruozhu then remembered that although he had lived for a long time, since turning into Taisui, he had been in a state of confusion, almost without conscious awareness. His mind was difficult to develop, as innocent as a child.

"I’m Bai Ruozhu, ’Ruozhu’ as in ’bamboo’."

"My sister’s name was Bai Zhu. You guys are just one word apart!" Taisui exclaimed excitedly. "I’ve remembered; my name is Bai Xiao, ’Xiao’ as in Lantern Festival, because I was born on that day!"

Bai Ruozhu remembered having heard a woman call him "Xiaoxiao" in his memories.

"What’s your relationship with the Zhong Family? Did someone cut a piece of your flesh a few days ago?" she asked.

"The Zhong Family offers me sacrifices. I give them some of my flesh, which makes them stronger, and when their family members die, they have to give their corpses to me." Xiaoxiao explained.

Bai Ruozhu was startled, "Giving you their corpses? Isn’t that tragic?"

"People are already dead, and a corpse is just a bodily form. It doesn’t affect their reincarnation." Xiaoxiao said aggrievedly. "I don’t want it either, but if I don’t eat for a long time, I’ll lose control and run out."

It turns out the corpses are given to him, not their souls. She probably watched too many horror movies and misunderstood.

"About three days ago, did anyone visit you?" Bai Ruozhu asked again.

"I don’t remember. Before seeing you, I was in a foggy stupor. If someone did take a piece of meat, I might not have noticed, considering my body is so big."

It seems he doesn’t know anything.

"Do you know Ao Song? Someone cut a piece of your flesh a few days ago, and she was bitten back, spitting blood and nearly dying." Bai Ruozhu added.

"Ah?" Xiaoxiao was a bit surprised. "Let me think about it."

After a long while, he finally spoke up.
