Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 870 - 117 Perhaps There Is Some Kind of Connection

Families practicing martial arts don’t care much about nutritional health—the more meat, the better.

There’s no need to deliberately maintain a specific body fat percentage; the daily training is enough to burn off all that oil in the belly.

Back when Wang Yunxiao didn’t have a cent in his pocket, he led a group of brothers to cultivate the Ten Thousand Mountains and Rivers Boxing Manual, almost starving to death in the process. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Later, when he had money, most of it was spent on food.

After one meal, the four little girls were so full they had to lean on the wall to support themselves.

Girls nowadays don’t worry about dieting for their figure—they barely have any fat in their stomachs. Seeing meat is more heartwarming than seeing their parents.

Of course, they couldn’t compare to Wang Ying in this regard.

Wang Ying used a large bowl for eating—the kind typically used to serve noodles. And she could keep eating and eating, even after the other four had put down their chopsticks, with no sign of feeling full.

This was all without Mu Yusheng being present.

The two of them were the ultimate food partners. Last time they freeloaded a meal from Wang Yunxiao, it left him utterly stunned.

It felt like feeding pigs.

As they were about to leave after the meal, Wang Ying hesitated for a moment and then stiffened her face to say, "If you don’t have a place to go for New Year, you can come to my house."

Song Lili widened her eyes, staring at her: "What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly!"

"Good words aren’t said twice; if you didn’t catch it, forget it."

A faint blush spread across Wang Ying’s cheeks as she turned around and walked away.

"Eh? Eh? Eh?"

When they got into the car, Song Lili was still incredulous: "Dad, do you think she was embarrassed just now? Maybe she actually wants to hang out with us but is too shy to say so, right?"

Hang out? You call that hanging out? Isn’t it more like everyone messing with her and then getting beaten up in return?

Wang Yunxiao shook his head and said nothing. He wasn’t interested in meddling in the grievances and affections among kids... albeit they weren’t much younger than him.

What mattered was their mental age.

The consequence of eating until they were stuffed was reduced blood flow to the brain. By the time Wang Yunxiao drove the car back to school, the four little girls were already sprawled inside, sound asleep, completely unconscious.

Wang Yunxiao silently observed Song Lili for quite a while, and apart from the drool trickling from the corner of her mouth, there weren’t any other signs to be found.

The "rational existence" of this world is determined by cognition.

In layman’s terms, whether your spell works or not depends on whether others perceive it as rational.

It’s like writing a novel: the author designs a supposedly super awesome world, crams thirty thousand words of world-building into the beginning,

but because it’s too complicated, readers can’t be bothered to read, so the novel flops.

On top of this, there’s also the distinction between "strong cognition" and "weak cognition."

Simply put, ordinary people might be aware that something is irrational but don’t understand why it’s irrational. Everyone knows to abide by the law, but most people can’t figure out precisely which actions constitute legal violations.

This is where lawyers come in, interpreting specific legal codes.

When one’s abilities and knowledge reach a certain level, they form "strong cognition," what’s commonly referred to as a solid worldview.

I know who I am, where I am, and what I want to do.

Wang Yunxiao himself possesses strong cognition. Conversely, He Lan falls under weak cognition; lacking a fully developed worldview, she gets swept away during even the slightest tremor of the Temporal Tide.

Song Lili is currently also in a state of weak cognition.

She isn’t Lilith. The Special Service Bureau hopes for her to develop an entirely new personality, but this requires the mutual influence of family, school, and society.

The perception Zhou Qing and the other two have of her indeed helps in shaping this new personality.

The three of them are basically like mobile, human-shaped sources of pollution. When surrounding Song Lili, they filter out all other faint distractions.

But when they leave, those distractions become audible again.

Perhaps some people are attempting to influence Song Lili through cognitive power, trying to awaken the real Lilith.

In layman’s terms, it’s possible that certain individuals are using traditional means like praying, sacrificing rituals, or incense offerings to summon their perceived version of Lilith.

Looks like the remnants of the Blood Cup Sect still haven’t given up.

You’d wonder how they’ve managed to evade countless rounds of crackdowns and still stick to their agenda.

After waking everyone up, they rested for a bit to cool off and avoid catching a cold before sending them into the dormitory.

Wang Yunxiao set off again with Jiang Yinyin.

The Eldest Miss Li must have been waiting impatiently by now. They’d agreed to pick up the car, but he’d spent most of the day goofing off without her.

Thinking about it, Wang Yunxiao felt it was rather unfair.

So, on the way, he bought a cake Li Mumu liked.

After parking the car underneath Li Mumu’s building, Wang Yunxiao carried the cake and brought Jiang Yinyin upstairs.

Just reaching the door, before he could knock, they heard a sharp scream of pain from inside.

Instinctively, Wang Yunxiao wanted to kick the door down, but fortunately, Jiang Yinyin had the keys.

Once inside, they saw Li Mumu carrying a basin of hot water out of the bedroom.

"Had your fun? Know to come back now?"

Li Mumu’s tone dripped with sarcasm, and Jiang Yinyin lowered her head, guilt-ridden.

Wang Yunxiao quickly changed the subject and asked, "What happened to Auntie? Should we go to the hospital?"

"Don’t know. She’s refusing to go..."

Li Mumu frowned and said, "Maybe she was frightened by something. Pregnant women are mentally sensitive."

Even she didn’t believe her own words.

A powerful witch, someone regularly dealing with this world’s most mysterious, vile, and unnamable entities—

getting scared?

But judging by the symptoms, this was the only explanation.

Li Ya had already been sleepless for two consecutive days. Today, her exhaustion was visibly profound, her nerves fractured, paranoid, and unable to endure the slightest shock. Even the sound of Li Mumu opening and closing the door startled her.

Even when she was so fatigued she would drift into sleep, it wouldn’t be long before she awakened in terror.

When asked what she had seen, she wouldn’t say.

When asked if she wanted to go to the hospital, she refused.

If medications were suggested, pregnant women naturally couldn’t take them freely.

Li Mumu was powerless, able only to stay by her side, wipe her face, and help relieve some of her psychological tension.

"Is this normal close to childbirth?"

"Who knows? I don’t have any experience."

Li Mumu couldn’t help rolling her eyes. "What were you two doing that you’re coming back so late?"

"Song Lili is having psychological issues..."

Wang Yunxiao explained Song Lili’s situation to her in brief.

Song Lili, Lilith...

Li Mumu turned her gaze toward the sleeping figure of Li Ya on the bed, a sliver of doubt emerging in her heart.

She was highly attuned to the Cause and Effect Line. Even with no tangible evidence, she instantly sensed a mysterious connection between the two.

A coincidence?

Definitely not.

If she couldn’t perceive the cause and effect behind events involving people close to her, then the issue may not lie with her.

Using a more mystical perspective, one might say... someone’s interfering with destiny?
