Book 1: Chapter 91

Book 1: Chapter 91

I swallowed, looked at the leather figurine womans sinister mouth, and panicked. But there werent any teeth in that mouth, so physically putting my hand into it definitely wouldnt be dangerous. I stepped forward and quietly said, "I mean no offense, I mean no offense." I then put my hand in the leather figurine womans mouth bit by bit.

I had half of my arm in there but still couldnt reach it. The hollowness inside the figurine felt just like a sheepskin raft. My cell phones light kept shining, which showed the shadow of my hand inside the leather figurine.

I had to push my whole arm into it, which was a little disgusting. When I finally touched the object, I found that it felt like a cocoon. It seemed as if it had been hung by a lot of silk in the cavity of the leather figurine woman, but it dropped and fell into the hollow leg as soon as I touched it.

I pulled my hand out, used my phone to illuminate it, and found that the cocoon was stuck in the figurines knee. I was certain I couldnt reach it by going through the mouth again, so I looked up to see if there was some other place I could reach through.

But I felt embarrassed as soon as I looked at it. I stood up and saw the expression on the leather figurine womans face. Its mouth now looked like Darren Wangs (1) and I couldn't see the former sinisterness at all.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

I heaved a sigh and looked at the leather figurine womans lower body while thinking, do I really have to do such a terrible thing? But if I didnt do it, then I could only cut open this very rare figurine. It would be a pity to destroy it so hastily.

I lifted my sleeves and squatted in front of the leather figurine woman while scoping out the various angles. I constantly changed the angles and gestures of my hands, making a series of movements like Wolverine and Spider-Man, but it was all to no avail.

I was just at my wits end when I heard someone cough behind me.

(2) Chao Feng was a title given to the manager of wealthy pawn shops in ancient times.

(3) Family planning=basically limiting population growth by advocating delayed marriage and delayed child bearing. They want fewer and healthier births, and advocate one child per couple. More info here. I think the glorious mothers era is the opposite. Mao Zedong wanted more babies and glorified motherhood as helping the Communist cause.
