491: Chapter 69 Humans are Humans, Demons are Demons 491: Chapter 69 Humans are Humans, Demons are Demons “I think you’re really hungry.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
On the way after parting…
such an abbreviation might lead to misunderstandings, to be precise, it was after eting up with everyone and then separating again.
After all, Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu had co to the Seaside District with their respective missions to accomplish; it was only that there had been so delay in the anti.
Wendy took the opportunity to whisper a complaint while the two little girls weren’t paying attention.
Li Mumu remained disdainful.
“I’m not bragging, but playing with little boys like him is a piece of cake for .”
“Yeah, I can see that.
You really do seem to enjoy it, so much that you almost forgot your own persona.”
“That’s true; I’ll need to be more careful next ti.”
Li Mumu was very adept at self-reflection and self-criticism.
Her ti spent alone with Wang Yunxiao was pleasant, mainly because his mind was agile, and his heart was strong, capable of fencing with her back and forth.
It was like playing badminton.
It’s fun only when both players are equally matched, with the ga going back and forth.
If one player is a professional while the other is an amateur rookie, the ga would be no fun at all, just picking up the shuttlecock and feeding it continuously.
But always playing like this isn’t okay, too; spending too much ti could lead to real feelings.
Wendy’s reminder was on point; it was ti to reconsider her position as an heiress to a wealthy family, and not to be always led around by the nose by so poor boy.
I need to be reserved, to be dignified.
I, the Eldest Miss Li…
Sorry, I almost forgot; the Eldest Miss Mu, how could I possibly stoop to fighting with country girls over n.
Next ti I have to be more careful and broaden my horizons and heart.
Li Mumu ca to the Seaside District today with the two little girls mainly to follow Principal Zhou’s instructions to check on the Ma Family.
Also, it was to take the two girls out for so fresh air and to see the world.
Unlike Chen Yan and Little Gourd, who had so much social experience, these two would get picked up by soone the minute they walked down the street by themselves.
Last ti, when the Ma Family mobilized everyone, young and old, to suppress the Demon Fox, they didn’t expect the other party to be well-prepared with people already in place.
If it weren’t for Max scaring away the Maitreya Monk with his false bravado, their family would have fallen right into their opponent’s trap.
In the end, the Demon Fox got away, and they didn’t fare well either.
It was said that the old grandma of the Ma Family ended up in the hospital that very night, and she had been bedridden ever since, unable to move.
The others could be said to have suffered heavy losses as well.
Li Mumu actually found the background and thods of this family sowhat puzzling.
She thought the grandmother spoke strangely the first ti they t, and their subsequent actions also carried a strangely familiar aura.
It seed like Demon Qi, yet it wasn’t Demon Qi.
Since Li Mumu had cultivated the “Demon” Dharma Gate’s secret manual, her sensitivity to “nature’s spiritual energy” had beco more and more acute.
This feeling was like tasting different drinks—so auras were like tap water, so like cola, so like strong liquor.
The aura of Heaven and Hell was like Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Though they sound like two different brands and seem like competitors, in reality…
Li Mumu only drank Coca-Cola, never Pepsi.
She could tell the difference, but that was all there was to it.
The difference, however big, was still cola.
The aura of the Ma Family felt demonically tinged, yet they were not Demons.
What should a real demon look like?
Li Mumu honestly couldn’t quite say.
The world was too complex.
If she had to make a subjective judgnt, then she could only say that the demon fox resembled the kind of demon she imagined, and the Maitreya Monk seed more like the monk she had in mind.
Even Max, though greedy and without any semblance of a moral bottom line, if one disregarded his Westerner identity and solely considered his way of thinking, seed no different from the Taoists she had in mind.
To sum it up in one sentence, all the things she was familiar with had been taken away by the foreigners.
As for the reason, Li Mumu understood it rather well.
Yaoqin had once told her back in the Special Service Bureau that due to the shocks of space-ti tides, the past Cultivation System was not suitable for the developnt of future eras, so the new governnt introduced a brand-new system.
That was the so-called Twelve Laws.
Li Mumu still couldn’t understand what the Twelve Laws were all about; she understood the principle, but understanding was different from comprehending and mastering it.
The New Church of Eternal Life had now taken on a reward task; soone approached them, entrusting them to investigate the truth behind the Twelve Laws.
It seed that she was not the only one who couldn’t figure it out; everyone was in the dark.
This ti, Principal Zhou asked her to visit a patient, and Li Mumu thought it was a good opportunity.
She might be able to use this chance to interact with the Ma Family to first understand the concept of “demon.”
In fact, she had already beco quite familiar with the Ma Family last ti.
Seeing her co in with fruit, the elderly grandmother of the Ma Family was very happy, and despite her frailty, she insisted on sitting up to chat with her.
“You should lie down first; otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable sitting here.”
Li Mumu hurriedly helped the old grandmother lie down and then naturally took the opportunity to check her pulse.
The old lady’s pulse was very weak.
Although she appeared to be in good spirits on the surface, her body’s energy and blood were already depleted, and it was almost impossible to feel her pulse.
If it had been an ordinary person, they could have been preparing coffin and funeral clothes by now.
She wasn’t the most severely injured one; her daughter-in-law, the middle-aged woman holding a child, had a through-and-through wound on her chest and was still unconscious.
“Old age takes its toll, I’m not as capable anymore!”
The grandmother held Li Mumu’s hand, a helpless smile on her face: “Originally, I just thought family disgrace should not be publicized, and I ca for an internal cleanup, but I overestimated myself and almost put the lives of my entire family at risk.
If it hadn’t been for the Bodhisattva’s compassionate assistance, my old bones would surely have turned to dust.”
Li Mumu could now confirm that she was referring to the Guiding Bodhisattva.
And by calling herself Little Bodhisattva, she must have noticed the Red String on her wrist.
Honestly, Li Mumu felt that the most profitable deal she had made after crossing over was spending money to buy the amulet of the Guiding Bodhisattva, even though at the ti she was young and sowhat reluctant.
This patron was truly significant.
Who would say that the faith in the Guiding Bodhisattva was only prevalent in the coastal areas?
This thing was effective everywhere.
Seeing the grandmother’s attitude, Li Mumu simply asked directly, “Brother Hanwen ntioned sothing about a cleanup; what exactly happened?”
The Ma Family grandmother glanced at the two little girls standing beside her, daydreaming and acting cute, sighed and said, “Nowadays, there’s no need to hide it anymore.
It’s embarrassing that concealing it has exposed us so thoroughly.
The matter is a long story, and it all started back when the President went north to campaign…”
