Chapter 85 - Descent

“Find something?” Li Huowang’s mind raced when he heard Abbess Jingxin’s words.

On the other hand, when she saw that his expression turned more serious, she explained, “Don’t think I’m just taking advantage of your problem.”

However, this just made Li Huowang’s mood even heavier. He thought for a while, then said, “Abbess Jingxin, this should be your final condition, right?”

He saw her nod in agreement, then took a deep breath and said, “Sure! It’s a deal. What do you need?” The debut release occurred at N-ov3l-Bin.

He wasn’t afraid of there being conditions; rather, he was more wary of the other party making empty promises. However, as long as there were conditions set, they were still in the realm of negotiation.

At least, from what he had seen so far, Li Zhi had not lied before he died. In a certain sense, the nuns belonging to the Benevolent Nunnery were indeed good people. It was not easy to find such people in this strange world.

He had no other choice now. Dan Yangzi might end up possessing him first if he continued to look for other methods.

“A pair of eyes. An extremely peculiar pair of sinister eyes. There is a forest about two hundred miles to the east of Henghua Mountain. Head there and bring this sinister thing back,” Jingxin stated her final condition.

“Sinister? What sort of sinister? What sort of abilities does it have?” asked Li Huowang. He wanted to know what sort of foe he was about to face.

“It’s called the Eighteenth Lunar. That thing is very strange. Every year, on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, it transforms. At that time, its appearance and supernatural abilities change. I don’t know what it looks like right now, so just remember that it’s red in color. You will have to figure out a method to deal with it yourself. You even carry the Profound Records on you, and you think you can’t deal with that thing? Besides, do you think that Master of yours who attained Immortality will let you die?”

Eighteenth Lunar? That’s a name?

Li Huowang was troubled. This was it? He wasn’t given any hints and he had to go completely unprepared to deal with some kind of sinister being. He was going in completely blind.

Bai Lingmiao contemplated for a long while, until the water in the tub started getting cold. Then, she stood up from the water filled with floating petals, put on her clothes and walked toward the bedroom.

Forget it. No matter what, if he still hasn’t come down after three days, then I’m definitely going up to find him. Who says I’m a burden?

The door creaked as Bai Lingmiao closed it. Once it was fully closed, a strange woman was revealed behind the door. She was wearing a red veil, had colored ribbons on her dress, as well as red embroidered shoes.

Seeing her, Bai Lingmiao pulled back the sheets, and mischievously slid in. Then, her hands firmly embraced the person under the sheets. “I like Sister Xiaoman the most. You’re so fluffy. Hugging you is just so comfortable.”

Xiaoman turned around and faced the white-haired girl. They were so close that they could even feel each other’s soft breathing.

“What’s so good about this thing; it’s just some black hair. Others treat me like I am some weird creature. Even a man in his sixties won’t dare to marry me,” said Xiaoman.

“Don’t worry, Sister Xiaoman. You will definitely be able to find the man of your dreams,” said Bai Lingmiao as she reached out to gently stroke her black hair.

“No need. I hate men. I want to remain unmarried. I can live independently without any man!” declared Xiaoman firmly.

“Why would you want that?” Bai Lingmiao’s eyes widened with surprise. She had wanted to ask if it was because of her father, but she couldn’t get those words to come out of her mouth.

Meanwhile, Xiaoman turned around, showing her back to Bai Lingmiao who reached out to gently hug her.

“Sister Xiaoman, if you have no place to go to in future, then come to my house. How about being the godmother to my children?” offered Bai Lingmiao.

Xiaoman did not respond directly. There was a look of hesitation in her eyes as she stared at the wall before her. “Are you really planning to marry Senior Li?”

However, Bai Lingmiao did not answer her, only hitting her back shyly.

“Why don’t you give it some more thought? This is for your own good. Even though Senior Li has been kind to us, you don’t necessarily have to repay him like that. After all... he’s that sort of person,” Xiaoman tailed off.
