The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent-Chapter 173 - The Purpose of the Destined Energy Source

Or could it be that if Cheng Yang deviated from his destiny, the fake amulet would receive some kind of punishment or die?

Xiao Ying thought about it and probed, “Amulet, if Cheng Yang doesn’t come back this time, won’t our mission be completed?”

The amulet said, “How can that be? This world is supported by his energy. If he is gone before I absorb all of his energy, the world will collapse.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the static in her mind disappeared.

Xiao Ying continued to ask, “What will happen after you absorb Cheng Yang’s energy?”

This time, however, it did not reply.

After a long pause, the amulet said, “You are my host. You just have to do as I say. It’s not a good thing to know too much.”

It seemed that he had told too many secrets in a panic today. Now, he was not even calling her ‘master’ anymore, referring to her as ‘host’.

Xiao Ying knew that she would not be able to get any additional information out of him, but she had already gained enough this time.

This fake amulet wanted to absorb energy from Cheng Yang. It always wanted him to suffer. It seemed that Brother’s Darkness Value was the key to the fake amulet absorbing energy. If Brother died, it would not be able to absorb the energy and the world would collapse.

The mystery was gradually being solved. Xiao Ying’s only question now was what role Qiao Zihao had played in this matter.

Cheng Yang was still missing. Xiao Ying said inadvertently in front of Qiao Zihao, “If Brother still doesn’t appear, the world will be in danger.”

The amulet echoed the sentiment in her mind. He did not take a child like Qiao Zihao seriously, so he did not care about Xiao Ying’s actions.

Qiao Zihao’s grip on the rabbit plushie faltered.

The amulet suddenly said, “Master, that force from before has disappeared. I can find the destined energy source now.”

Xiao Ying looked at Qiao Zihao when she heard this. What had just happened had not escaped her eyes.

“Where?”

After asking, a map appeared in her mind. The red coordinate was where Cheng Yang was.

Before Xiao Ying left, she asked, “Zihao, do you want to come with me?”

Qiao Zihao shook his head and said, “I’ll wait for Sister at home.”

Xiao Ying nodded and left. She took a taxi to the location on the map.

The coordinate on the map was in a slum, within a narrow alley. There were all kinds of rubbish piled up at the mouth of the alley. There were many people living on both sides of the alley. In the hot weather, a pungent smell was emitted as soon as they approached.

Xiao Ying subconsciously frowned and took a step back. Even the driver said kindly, “Little girl, it’s not safe for you to come here alone. Everyone here is—”

He did not finish speaking, but Xiao Ying already understood what he meant. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

She nodded gratefully. “I’ll be careful.”

Seeing that she insisted on going in, the driver stopped persuading her.

Xiao Ying walked into the alley and received many looks. After all, she looked out of place here.

Whether it was the clean clothes, exquisite makeup, or beautiful looks, they all showed that she was from a different world. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Xiao Ying frowned and avoided these gazes as she followed the amulet’s directions.

When she reached the center of the alley, the amulet told her this was the rough area he could pinpoint.

Xiao Ying looked at the dozens of houses of varying sizes and was instantly in a difficult spot. She couldn’t just look through them one by one, could she?

Just as she was standing in the alley, a man who looked like a gangster walked over and said, “Little beauty, what are you doing here?”

Xiao Ying took a step back and said, “It has nothing to do with you.”

The gangster’s eyes flashed with ill intent as he said, “Did the beauty come alone?”

As he spoke, he leaned closer and closer to Xiao Ying. The more she retreated, the more arrogant he became.
