Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 759 - 7 Eldest Miss Li’s Cultivation Plan
October 15th, 8 PM.
After finishing the last surgery of the day, Li Mumu returned to her dorm, sitting by the window sill and gazing at the full moon in the sky, lost in thought.
She certainly knew what was wrong with her body.
It was a sign that her Cultivation Achievement in the Righteous Path of the Demon Dharma Gate was waning, entering a phase of strength decline.
Establishing personal cognition isn’t as simple as one might imagine.
In the Twelve Laws system, methods of cultivation from the Righteous Path lead to a regression or plateau in strength after reaching a certain level.
This is an issue of cognitive levels, or in the terms of Buddhism, it’s an ’obstacle of knowledge and vision.’
It’s like madly splurging on gacha to draw a limited-edition five-star, only to suddenly lose the desire to level up or collect materials after carefully appreciating your prize.
A sated beast loses its ferocity.
Humans who’ve achieved their minor goals also lose the drive to continue moving forward.
The core cognition of the Righteous Path in Demon Dharma Gate cultivation is "being different from the others."
Now, Li Mumu couldn’t help but start to doubt herself. What’s the significance of being different?
Too many thoughts lead to confusion in ideas.
Witches have the innate gift of prophecy, able to observe the vibrations of strings, avoid dangers in advance, and resolve calamities.
The legacy of the Guiding Bodhisattva is based on the theory of cause and effect, seeking former causes and hunting subsequent consequences, talking about karmic retribution. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The Demon Dharma Gate cultivates being different, living detached from the world.
The Chess Herald Path focuses on the human heart’s true nature, self-analysis.
Being adept at everything results in being properly good at nothing.
To proceed, you either discard other paths, or... you must integrate all these odds and ends into one, forming your own theory.
The most rational choice now would actually be to follow Xia Yubing’s example and find a place for secluded cultivation.
But Li Mumu is resolutely not going to the sealed-off, information-starved hellhole that is the Containment Department.
So, is there anywhere suitable for personal cultivation?
School.
Without a doubt, it’s Qinghe Middle School, safe and low-profile.
The only issue to consider is that she might uncontrollably reveal a non-human form once secluded for cultivation.
Would she become a social outcast then?
Forget it, if it means being a social outcast, so be it. Why bother thinking too much?
Strength is what matters most.
Even if Senior Sister Bai turned into a giant Fluttering Moth, who would dare to laugh at her?
Having made up her mind, Li Mumu stood up to look for Wang Yunxiao.
Ever since their fight, she hadn’t seen that jerk for several days.
She just hates his chauvinist meddling in everything.
It’s definitely not because of embarrassment.
Arriving at the hospital room’s door, she just happened to see Wang Yunxiao, Youtiao, and Gangtou putting on their jackets in the corridor, muttering about something.
Li Mumu couldn’t help but ask, "Are you guys getting discharged from the hospital?"
...
Wang Yunxiao wasn’t being discharged; he wanted to take advantage of the good weather to do some rehabilitation exercises.
Usually at school, he would unfailingly get up at 4 AM for a run and workout. These past few days in the Special Service Bureau’s hospital with hardly any exercise, coupled with the canteen’s too-good food standards, had caused the faint signs of his muscles loosening.
Another unspeakable reason was that he simply couldn’t tolerate Youtiao and Chen Yan, this dog couple, flaunting their love every day.
The origin of the nickname ’Youtiao’ was because he disliked washing his hair, which looked disgustingly greasy and lumpy.
But that doesn’t mean he’s lacking in other aspects.
If the guy were to really clean himself up, he’s actually quite a looker.
And the most important thing is—he truly was a rich young master previously, having experienced all sorts of things.
He didn’t actively pursue Chen Yan in the past due to his own psychological issues.
Now that he’s let go of his hang-ups and started actively pursuing girls, his techniques are truly awe-inspiring.
They say ’a man chasing a woman is like climbing a mountain, a woman chasing a man is like piercing through a veil’... but that saying is meant for ordinary people.
Yes, for those ordinary and non-confident men who have poor grades, unimpressive looks, empty pockets, slow wits, and clumsy speech.
If only one has at least one advantage, pursuing a girl isn’t all that troublesome.
Chen Yan is just an inexperienced chick, taken for a spin by Youtiao’s few simple words.
No, it’s not right to say deceived; it’s more accurate to call it cajoling.
If a man is willing to stoop to cajoling, his level of skill is beyond that of a woman’s by far.
For a set of pancake rolls or an egg-filled pancake, he’d get down on one knee, earnestly calling you his godfather.
Every time Wang Yunxiao passed by the hospital room door, seeing the two of them feeding each other and holding hands, he felt nauseated.
A shameless couple, they’ve lost all face.
Doctor Li, you’d better learn from them!
All you know is how to sulk around me, snarling and waving your claws, moving from fries to burgers...
Sooner or later, you’ll eat yourself into becoming Li Mumu!
But Youtiao still had to play the good guy on the cheap, pretending to think of the team’s best interest with a righteous facade.
"Bro, you’ve got to think about it this way, if I don’t take down Chen Yan quickly, who knows, she might really get abducted by someone one day! I’m sacrificing my charm for the long-term safety plans of you and the bros!"
Utterly shameless!
He doesn’t give a damn about the big brother at all!
Rehabilitation! We must get him out for rehabilitation!
However, that sly guy Youtiao still wanted to find excuses to shirk it.
"Big Bro, our equipment from last time is all busted; if we’re going out, we need to at least swap for some new gear, right?"
"Where are you going to find new equipment in the middle of the night?"
"Then what are we three doing out in the middle of the night?"
"Don’t you know that life depends on exercise?"
The three were huddled together whispering when Li Mumu walked past.
"Are you guys being discharged from the hospital?"
"Big Sis-in-law, hello!"
Youtiao, quick-eyed and slick-tongued, before Wang Yunxiao could even respond, took the initiative to say: "Big Bro said he wants to take us out for fun!"
"Who’s your big sis-in-law, don’t talk nonsense... where are you going to have fun in the middle of the night?"
Youtiao coughed, glanced at Wang Yunxiao, and said off the cuff: "To the riverside."
"Riverside? What for?"
"Ice skating!"
Li Mumu, hands in her coat pockets, glanced sideways at Wang Yunxiao.
Wang Yunxiao glared furiously at Youtiao.
Don’t speak if you can’t speak properly... no, you little bastard are definitely doing this on purpose!
"I’m taking them out for some exercise."
"What kind of exercise?"
Li Mumu asked curiously, "What exercise can’t you do during the day, that you must do at night?"
Youtiao, tugging Gangtou along, turned to leave: "My stomach hurts, going to the bathroom first."
In the corridor, Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu were left facing each other, at a loss for words.
For a moment, silence.
Wang Yunxiao touched his chin and asked in a low voice, "Go out for a stroll?"
"The river is frozen outside, what is there to stroll around for?"
Li Mumu couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
You might not mind the cold, but I do.
"Come here, there’s something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I’m getting ready to go back to school."
"Are you done with things here?"
"Pretty much, I just need to tell the director and it’s settled."
"Alright then, when are you heading back? Tomorrow? I’ll go with you."
"What I want to say isn’t about that..."
