Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 716 - 138 Immortal Throws Me a Bone

Li Mumu had an extremely lucid dream.

She was competing with a dog for food in its bowl.

After gorging on a large bowl of milk-soaked dog kibble, she lifted her head and saw the white-haired dog next to her looking at her with disdain.

Li Mumu felt embarrassed inside, but this was in a dream, and she couldn’t control her actions.

Besides, she was still not full.

A bowl of dog food is not enough for anyone! Who do you think you’re looking down on!

Just as she couldn’t help but try to snatch the dog food from the white-haired dog’s bowl, a fluffy tail descended from the sky and pressed her head into the bowl.

"Did a starving ghost reincarnate here?"

Li Mumu struggled to look around and found that what was suppressing her was actually another animal – a sleek-furred black cat.

"Is this a classmate from your future era?"

The black cat turned to ask the white dog.

The little white dog shook its tail, displaying an "I’m not too keen to know this one" expression.

"Is this what it’s come to, having stripped away memory, emotions, humanity, and everything else, leaving only instinct? What on earth is this..."

The little white dog shook its head slightly.

It was at this moment a gentle voice came from above: "Do not bully the little friend who is visiting our home for the first time."

Li Mumu’s eyes instantly widened. She was too familiar with this voice and would never mistake it.

Guiding Bodhisattva! Holy Mother!

She tried her best to lift her head out of the food bowl to see the face of the speaker, but the black cat’s tail was as heavy as a mountain, no matter how hard she struggled she couldn’t break free.

At that moment, the scent that wafted over took all her attention.

It was meat!

As soon as the tail above her head let go, she pounced eagerly. The intense hunger made her instantly forget the thought of looking up.

Eating was the top priority.

A warm hand brushed over the top of her head, spreading a kind of invisible power that slowly made her groggy mind gradually clearer.

"Eh? How cute, I want to pet it too!"

"This... don’t hurt her."

"Just a little pet."

Cold fingers, like viscous tentacles, slid over her back, causing the hair on Li Mumu’s back to stand on end.

"Get lost!"

The black cat’s tail swept over, rudely swatting away the cold fingers.

"Anchor..."

"Anchor..."

With each big gulp of food, as she chewed and swallowed, the food turned into warm currents entering her stomach, and Li Mumu’s eyes became clearer and clearer.

"Anchoring successful!"

[System installation in progress...]

However, just at that moment, the sound of a door opening and closing came from behind.

"Ah! Young master, please wait a moment..."

Bang—!

Li Mumu, whose brain was still coming online, exploded on the spot.

In the midst of this, she faintly heard someone asking, "What’s a signal flag?"

"Anchoring successful!"

[Receiving communication signal, inquiry whether to deploy signal flag.]

[You are Li Mumu...]

Li Mumu suddenly opened her eyes and woke up in the real world.

The originally spacious brick bed suddenly became very cramped and narrow.

This made her realize that she had manifested her demonic form in her sleep. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

She retched twice, feeling a wave of acid reflux in her stomach.

"How long have I slept?"

"Three days and three nights."

Wendy’s voice came from the side.

Li Mumu turned her head and met Wendy’s button-like eyes.

Her skin looked increasingly rough, like the fabric of a low-quality doll, and her hair was also dry and yellowing, giving off a cheap plastic feel.

"What’s wrong with you..."

"Thanks to you, Nyarlathotep glanced over at me once more, seeing it as a favor."

"Is she crazy? Calling it a favor to turn you into this half-human, half-ghost mess?"

"I don’t feel any different about myself; it’s not my problem, it’s yours."

Wendy said calmly.

"What happened to you while you were asleep? I don’t know what I look like to you now, but you’ve changed a lot in my eyes."

"What’s changed about me?"

"I see ’strings’ on you."

Huh?

Have I become an Immortal? No... I’ve turned into strings?

Mumu, who has seen what strings look like, now calls her mom.

Is it because she was influenced by her... No, wait, it is indeed my own problem!

Recalling the scenes in her dream, Li Mumu suddenly realized that the fate she had with Holy Mother might date back to a time point before she had transmigrated.

[When you hear the sound of the tides, your memory begins to awaken.]

What sound of the tides?

Li Mumu subconsciously listened carefully.

The only thing she could hear was the worshipping and praying from followers of the Thousand-Year Dynasty World, which she had already filtered out as nuisance noise.

There were just two missed calls... no, it was a clear prayer unlike the other sounds.

A fellow disciple from our sect was burning incense and praying for help.

But sorry, I was still dreaming at the time and dismissed it right away.

After all, Bai Shanshan is around; it’s not up to an outsider like me to handle Red Lantern Society affairs.

Li Mumu felt no guilt about it.

Another was from Shen Qingxi, sent three minutes ago.

"SOS SOS SOS in the Jianghu World! Sister Reddy, come out, I’ll buy you clothes, bags, watches, anything! Hurry over, I can’t hold the fort anymore!"

It was this call that jolted Li Mumu awake from that indescribable dream.

Are you trying to die or what...

I was so close to getting enlightened by an Immortal in my dream and recovering memories from my past life.

If you filthy rich have no good reason for calling me, do you believe I would pour perfume into your cellular walls!

Li Mumu looked in the direction of the incense offerings’ trail and saw Shen Qingxi quietly sitting at home, sipping tea.

And a certain uninvited guest who showed up proactively.

Cheng Xuefei, Eldest Miss Cheng.

It seemed like the two had already been sitting down, sipping tea for at least three minutes.

Shen Qingxi’s bladder was trembling.

But she kept her composure well, pretending nothing was wrong and silently drinking her tea.

"Your assistant has arrived?"

Cheng Xuefei, holding her teacup casually, said something that nearly caused a tidal wave in Shen Qingxi’s heart.

"You should know that after that accident, I got promoted to Flower Amidst Guests. I can see all the slightest changes in your facial expression and your body language; none can escape my eyes."

"And you, student Shen Qingxi, do you remember what I told you when you joined the drama club? You have no acting skills and yet love to perform, everyone just humored you because you were rich and beautiful."

Shen Qingxi pouted, scoffing, "Can you confirm now that I’m the real deal?"

"I knew it the moment I saw you, who else but you could have thought of faking illness and sitting in a wheelchair?"

Cheng Xuefei smiled and said, "Didn’t you tell me once that your favorite role was to play the pig to eat the tiger, and then make a dazzling entrance at the critical moment to astonish the audience..."

I didn’t! Don’t talk nonsense! I’ll sue you for defamation!

Shen Qingxi clenched her teeth and said expressionlessly, "That’s all in the past."

"So... what happened to being good friends lifetime after lifetime?"

Cheng Xuefei retorted, "Because of Shen Family internal problems, an accident happened and you turned around to suspect that I colluded with outsiders to steal your precious Jade Seal?"

Shen Qingxi exclaimed angrily, "I trusted you so much in the past, and you didn’t even seek vengeance for me after my death, what good friend?"

"Your own grandfather was the one who plotted against you, and he has also taken his life, how can I avenge you?"

"... Where’s the evidence?"

"After your accident, the aunt by your side called your grandfather and said it out loud."

Cheng Xuefei looked straight into Shen Qingxi’s eyes and said earnestly, "This isn’t a court; what do you need evidence for? Don’t you clearly know within your own heart? Aside from your grandfather, who knew about your whereabouts that night? You’re just unable to accept that the grandfather, who you always saw as kind and loving, would turn against you without warning."

"I’ve warned you before, the Shen Family isn’t as enlightened as you think. It only dresses itself up as progressive gentlemen; at its core, it’s still the same old patriarchal traditions. The more outstanding a girl performs, the more it makes the men of the Shen Family seem incompetent, and this kind of pressure is bound to turn familial love sour eventually."
