Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 867 - 114: Song Lili and Her Charms (Supplementary Update)

He chases, she flees—she’s got nowhere to run!

For some reason, when Wang Yunxiao saw the young master’s expression transform from furious rage to smitten tenderness, a completely inappropriate line suddenly popped into his head.

The young master dropped to one knee, grabbed Song Lili’s hand, and said passionately, "Xiao Hua, don’t you remember me? Do you really not remember anything?"

Song Lili shook her head and said, "I’m sorry, sir, I think you have the wrong person."

"It can’t be wrong. Other people might be mistaken, but you—you alone—your every smile and frown is deeply engraved in my memory. No matter how long it’s been, ten years, twenty years, I remember it all vividly."

"But I really don’t know you..."

Song Lili was about to continue reciting her lines when she suddenly noticed Wang Yunxiao walking over with a dark expression. Instinctively startled, she hurriedly said, "Sir, you must be mistaken, and kicking someone else’s car means you have to pay compensation."

The young master’s face changed instantly. Without a word, he stood up and pulled out his wallet.

"Can this bumper be replaced?"

Wang Yunxiao turned to ask the shop owner.

The shop owner nodded hurriedly. "Yes, it can. It’ll be quick."

By then, the young master had already emptied his wallet onto the car’s hood. Turning around, he left the car shop with his girlfriend, laughing and chatting as if he’d completely forgotten his earlier outburst.

Song Lili wrung her fingers nervously, lowering her head and avoiding Wang Yunxiao’s gaze.

"What’s going on?"

Wang Yunxiao asked Zhou Qing.

"Those two were being completely unreasonable!"

Zhou Qing said angrily, "We were checking out the car when that woman whispered nearby about some kid from God-knows-where, how the shop owner wasn’t being cautious enough about keeping the new car scratch-free... Then the guy started making trouble, asking the shop assistant why the car they ordered hadn’t arrived yet and why this car wasn’t being sold to them..."

To be fair, the four of them were bundled up like cotton balls and were pretty short, making them seem like kids—not quite as polished as the proper young ladies and wealthy socialites dressed to the nines.

Wang Yunxiao understood the first half of the story: nothing more than a rich kid losing face in front of a girl. As for the latter half, it made sense when the young master’s foot hit the car; at that moment, he’d fallen into Song Lili’s "ability."

This was what wasn’t normal—based on Wang Yunxiao’s past observations, Song Lili’s "ability" usually only worked in small areas once she deliberately opened her mouth.

Moreover, it merely distorted perception and couldn’t completely rewrite objective reality.

But earlier, the ability had activated passively before she’d even spoken.

This indicated her power was growing.

Growth in abilities was normal. Back then, the Church had gone to great lengths to nurture a humanoid Lilith. There was no way her power could be limited to just speaking things into reality.

Song Lili’s potential could certainly be enormous—so great that the Special Service Bureau wasn’t willing to recover and repress her. Instead, they’ve painstakingly arranged this process of sending her to the Church to learn basic life knowledge and then to school to develop her worldview.

The hope was for her to grow into someone useful, not a puppet without independent thought, manipulated by others.

What worried Wang Yunxiao now was whether she could control her abilities. If she couldn’t control them, that would be a big problem.

Like earlier—she didn’t even have to open her mouth; she instantly warped someone else’s perception.

Wang Yunxiao even suspected she’d stuffed the pre-written lines directly into that poor guy’s head.

"Song Lili... Has she been acting out of sorts lately? Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Wang Yunxiao had intended to address her directly but changed course when he saw her shrink her neck like a frightened quail, eventually asking the others instead.

The other three shook their heads in unison.

Fine, asking was pointless.

These four together were practically made for each other. Each had their own little secrets, making them particularly tolerant of each other’s peculiarities. That mutual acceptance had forged an unbreakable friendship.

Song Lili’s reality-warping abilities might be startling to ordinary people, but to her three companions, not only were they unafraid, they were happy to join her pretend games.

Asking them for abnormalities in Song Lili was utterly futile.

So Wang Yunxiao decided to ask someone else.

The car bumper finally got fixed, and the gas tank topped off. Wang Yunxiao got into the car, fired up the engine, and beckoned for the other three girls to hop on, specifically assigning Song Lili the front passenger seat.

"Daddy, I was wrong..."

Song Lili lowered her head and softly admitted fault.

"What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn’t have gotten involved with wealthy heirs."

Wang Yunxiao: "???"

Seeing Wang Yunxiao’s expression, Song Lili immediately corrected herself. "I shouldn’t have read so many novels about falling in love with wealthy heirs!"

So many?

Looks like the school library could really use a cleanup!

Wang Yunxiao pressed on the gas pedal, driving out of the car shop.

"Since it’s still early, let’s make a social call."

"To Mom’s place?"

"To Wang Ying’s place."

"I’m not going!"

Song Lili shrieked and tried to open the car door to jump out, only to be pressed back down by Wang Yunxiao.

"What’s the panic? It’s New Year’s—if you visit her at her house, what can she do to you in front of her family? Just tell them you’re her good friends, and you can openly ask her parents for red packets. Think of it as her compensating you."

Hearing "red packets," Song Lili finally calmed down. After a quick mental calculation, she looked at Wang Yunxiao and asked, "Daddy, will you give me red packets too?"

Wang Yunxiao almost said "dream on," but considering her unstable mental state, he reluctantly replied, "Sure, I’ll have your mom give you a big one."

"A mom’s gift isn’t the same as a dad’s gift, is it?"

What kind of kid expects two sets of red packets from their parents? You practically look like a walking red packet!

The three in the backseat chimed in, "Not the same! Not the same!"

Wang Yunxiao finally understood—this was Song Lili leading her pack of leeches. Not only were her three companions okay with being bossed around by her, they seemed to enjoy it.

"Alright then, I’ll give you one and your mom another. But I’m not as rich as your mom."

"We want one too! We want one too!"

"Fine, fine, everyone gets one!"

Wang Yunxiao sighed and gave in.

Traveling with these four was manageable on foot, but in a car, it felt like chauffeuring around a cartload of noisy ducks.

No matter what they saw that was remotely interesting, it’d trigger rounds of excited exclamations, almost flipping the car over.

Finally, they arrived at their destination. Song Lili jumped off the car first, dramatically planting her hands on her hips and yelling at the vermilion gate straight ahead, "Wang Ying! We’re here!"

Wang Yunxiao’s sharp hearing caught the sound of something very heavy inside the courtyard snapping cleanly in half.
