878 Initial Spirit
p, we'll have to take drastic measures to get them back."My brother is very worried about this, although he treats Old Mr. Chen like a servant every day, there's still a bit of affection after so many..."Oh, that's it. If someone uses sorcery, poisons, or even injures you, as long as this talisman remains intact, the damage your body suffers will be borne by the Great Shaman King himself. Does that make it clear"
"Liang Xiaog's voice had a hint of helplessness: "Doing this is really... I can't say that the Witch King's actions are good."
"Wait, wait, you're saying that if I get hurt, he gets hurt too"
"It's like this within the talisman's effective period," the paper figurine said dejectedly, lowering its head.
"How could he be so stupid! Just because someone hurts me, can I inflict harm on him—".
"Psst, psst, psst..." Liang Xiaoguo pressed his voice low, anxious. "We can't let anyone else know! This is to prevent you from getting seriously hurt! If they found out, you'd be used!"
He's such an idiot! Doing this, doing that... haven't I become his biggest weakness
"What can we do about it... Who asked you to be the little princess… Besides, the female gu is still on you. You're important, nothing can happen to you." Liang Xiaoge said with a pout.
I sat sulking on the edge of the bed, feeling more useless than ever.
From a young age, when trouble arose, someone cleaned up the mess; when laziness happened, someone covered for it; even when breaking rules, there was always a senior brother to beg for mercy. I seemed able to live so carefree, without thinking, unlearned, and unskilled.
Besides being quick-witted and clever, I don't really have any particular talents—in this circle, my level is probably about the same as a blank board.
"Liang Xiaogē, I have a question for you... that female ghost, the second wife of Mu Wanchen, what's the deal with her Why does she still appear occasionally" I whispered inquisitively.
"Even Xiaoge Liang is helplessly saying: "We don't know what's going on either. Anyway, that female ghost is infatuated with the Wuhwang (Witch King) one-sidedly. Before she was a witch of the Si clan, before Si Huang, she was the most influential one, but even the Wuhwang doesn't know how she became so obsessed..."
“Thinking about it now, she had actually already prepared for death. Even in death, a part of her still remained. Perhaps she was quite stubborn... The Si clan believed she died for the Shaman King. If the Shaman King let her soul dissipate, it would anger the Si clan. The two clans were already on tense terms.”
"Now, in the Mi River's tribal settlements, only the Wuwu King Mountain City and the Si Clan are the largest. If they clash, it would be disastrous, so the Wuwu Lord just has to tolerate it..."
Okay, then I'll... I'll just bear with it for now.
But what does that female ghost want She always appears to scare me, without saying a word and I can't see her eyes.
"Even Chu Ling, what's going on Does she want to kill me too"
"Little Ling...sigh..." Liang XiaoGe rubbed his forehead and sighed, "I just don't like this kind of woman who is both beautiful and unreasonable... But she is the sister of Lord Lian Long. Even if I dislike her, I have to accommodate her."
"Where is she now Has she come back yet" I asked.
"There’s… The Witch King sent Lianlong to pick her up. He’s been quietly watching her this whole time, to see if she's being used." Little Liang whispered.
"Where does she live then" A young woman wouldn't possibly sleep in a bridge hole, would she With her airs and graces, how could she possibly stand dirt and squalor
"She seems to know a friend who took her in," Liang said, tilting his head.
Friend
Knowing that Mu Wanchen gave me a stand-in, it's equivalent to handing over a major weakness. I can only be more careful in protecting it.
I found a small pouch to hold the talisman and put the paper figure inside. I hung it around my neck.
This look is a bit rustic. After dawn, I went to school with panda eyes. When I left home, Mu Wanchen, Master Yunfan, and my Senior Brother Jun hadn't returned yet.
I don't live on campus, so I don't have a roommate. All the girls in my class have companions, but I go it alone.
Today Tang Yufei didn't come to class. A female classmate sitting in the front row turned her head and asked me, "Did Tangtang not come with you today"
“She went a different way from me, how did we end up together” I asked in confusion.
"Huh How is that possible She even asked you about the bus routes to your place before. We thought she would come to class with you. When did you two get so close"
What is the bus route to my house
Tang Yufeng's home and mine are not in the same direction. In this city of millions, she would only take a detour to come over with me "on the way" to school if she was crazy.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. Could she be up to something
Since she glanced at Mu Wanchen from afar, something felt off. Love at first sight That's only after seeing his face first!
What does she want to do
I took out my phone and opened her WeChat, pretending to care, and asked, "Sugar Sugar, did you skip class again today"
I waited for a while, but she didn't reply. I opened her Moments and found that she had been posting pictures of late-night snacks recently, at quite late hours. There was even one from 2 am.
This guy is really something else.
I browsed through her Moments, and I noticed something—she's basically always with girls, and there aren't any photos of her with her boyfriend.
She acts so nonchalant about the opposite sex, yet she's always getting close to them.
"That... does Tangtang have a boyfriend" I looked up and asked the girl in front of me.
The female classmate who had just spoken to me was taken aback for a moment, gave a mysterious smile, and whispered, "Aren't you quite familiar with her We see you sitting together with her in class."
"Huh Isn't that because she always comes over and sits with me... What does that have to do with anything" I asked, confused.
“Poof… So you’re not close with her Do you guys hang out privately” the female classmate asked with a hushed laugh.
I was even more confused.
She looked at me like that, pointed outside to me, and we snuck out of the classroom one after another.
In the corridor behind the classroom, she whispered to me, "You and Tangtang really don't have any personal relationship"
"No! I just go home after school, and we don't even go the same way. We haven't really talked much either, so there's no friendship between us."
She smiled and said, "That's good then. In the end, it's right to keep some distance."
"Come on, don't keep me in suspense! What are you talking about It sounds so weird. How old are you Stop acting like a child and excluding your classmates – that's just stupid, isn't it" I frowned.
"Hehehe…" She chuckled, looking at me with a strange expression: "You still don't know her, do you~ She's a double."
What's a doublee, I was facing Jiang Qiyun, sitting with my back to him. As I backed up, I saw that he had closed his eyes as if asleep."Don't retreat anymore, Mu Xia Qiao... There's a crack ahead, fall down... and...
