"This is a Flying Head Barbarian, but it's neither demonic nor evil; it's something produced by proper Mysterious Art techniques."
I first used an Evil-Breaking Talisman to purify this pile of rotten flesh, then used a fire charm to burn it, which melted the flesh, "So, the Evil-Suppressing Talisman in the restaurant couldn't stop it." Updates are released by novel fire.net
One has to admit that the Forbidden Woman's Technique, although bizarre and monstrous, is genuinely based on proper Art practices.
The current Forbidden Women, many like Granny Mi, decipher fortunes and resolve difficulties for people and belong to the lineage of legitimate Mysterious Art practitioners.
But the crazy woman in the Lin Family Loft has an extreme personality and definitely does not fit into this category.
Xiao Li pulled me farther away from where the fire charm was burning, "Yuanyuan, whom have you offended this time?"
"A Forbidden Woman, I offended her at my grandfather's house." I looked into Xiao Li's eyes, ready for her to become scared and then distance herself from me.
Xiao Li smiled wryly. Once the fire charm had extinguished and there was no risk of fire, she pulled me downstairs, "Anyway, when you have too many lice, they don't bite, and the barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes. Having an enemy or two might be scary, but once there are many, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"This... what kind of twisted logic is this?" I was totally blown away by Chen Xiaoli's method of self-reassurance, somehow making every bizarre thing sound rational when coming from her.
She looked like an ordinary girl who knew nothing of Mysterious Art and wasn't very brave.
Yet, she was able to accept many things that even lifelong practitioners of Mysterious Art couldn't.
Xiao Li smiled and said frankly, "Expecting me to be scared of you and to distance myself from you is impossible. Chen Yuanyuan, I'm sticking with you. Just like I'm sticking with Beichen, he's a Living Dead, and if I can accept that... then I can certainly handle you and the issues you and Snake Lord face."
Indeed, she's the best friend I've ever had in my life!!
If it weren't for her strong heart, she'd have probably ended up in a mental hospital by now.
"Hey, isn't today the day the boss's wife has her prenatal checkup?" I went downstairs and mentioned it while eating the nutritious meal Xiao Li had carefully prepared.
Xiao Li chuckled, "Right, we're closing in the afternoon. Let's go with the boss's wife to her prenatal checkup. The boss is unreliable again, going to the tax office, busy all day not taking care of his wife and child."
"If it were Beichen, I bet, if you were pregnant, he'd definitely stay with you day and night." I imagined what Xiao Li would look like pregnant.
An unexpectedly cold and indifferent voice emerged behind me, "I am a Living Dead; I have no descendants."
"..." Thankfully, I had just swallowed the porridge in my mouth; otherwise, I would have definitely spit it out.
Big Brother Beichen, you can really scare someone to death doing that.
Your sudden appearance... really is frightening...
Xiao Li got annoyed, "What do you mean no descendants? Let Yuanyuan help, and with her help, it wouldn't just be a child, it'd be many successors, a continuous line."
"You…" Beichen's face turned red.
My heart even skipped a beat, imagining Beichen and Xiao Li having a bunch of kids, holding them, following around... such a fascinating image...
Although Xiao Li, like me, only finished high school, she knew quite a few idioms.
Words like many successors, a continuous line...
I coughed lightly, "Beichen, actually, it's still possible for a Living Dead to have children."
Lady of the Snake Lord, please don't joke about this, I... I don't want children," Beichen's face flushed slightly stiff, he gripped Xiao Li's wrist, "The last time with you, I just couldn't help myself. I wouldn't dare again, I can't tarnish you anymore."
