Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 58: No Place for Lovesickness in the World
"Lili! Lili!" The familiar voice kept lingering in my ears, seeming to come from the sky above, yet also as if it was whispering in my ear.
"Mo Yi! Mo Yi, is that you? Where are you?" Ying Lili looked around, but there was nothing around except the lonely sky and endless yellow sand.
Where was this? She ran desperately, shouting, but no matter how she shouted, her voice was like a drop in the ocean, unable to reach her. No matter how she ran, she still couldn't escape the yellow sand...
"Lili! Lili!" Mo Yi's voice sounded as if it was right beside him, yet it also seemed as if it was separated by the distant Milky Way...
"Mo Yi..." Ping Lili slowly opened her heavy eyelids, only to find that it was just another dream.
She stood up slowly, with a gloomy look on her face.
Mo Yi…was he calling her? Suddenly, for no apparent reason, Ying Lili recalled the soul mark she had left on Mo Yi's palm. Was it that soul mark that was leading him to search for her?
The person who killed Shan Yang in seconds for him and cut off the black silk that attacked her at that critical moment yesterday must be Mo Yi. However, at that time, apart from hearing Mo Yi's voice, she got nothing. Later, no matter how she used the Life Skill to inquire, and even used the Divine Sign, she could not find any trace of Mo Yi.
Mo Yi seemed to appear out of thin air and then disappear out of thin air!
Moreover, except for Gong Lili herself, no one present seemed to feel Mo Yi's presence . Later, after careful consideration, she remembered that it was probably due to the power of Mo Yi's "Mirror Flower and Water Moon". It had appeared before when she was fighting alone against the corpse spirits outside the city.
Thinking of this, a feeling of loneliness surged in my heart. How could I ever go back?
However, thinking of Mo Yi, hope suddenly surged in her heart. Since Mo Yi's "Mirror Flower and Water Moon" could travel through time and space to find her, then there must be a way to get in touch with that world. All she needed was to wait, wait for the day when he would find a way to take her back. She was completely confident in this. She believed that Mo Yi would definitely find a way. That was the indescribable trust between her and him.
Before that, she had something more important to consider, which was whether she should obediently follow Yao Ji's fate.
Thinking about going to the Shamo Temple today to complete the final inheritance, Ping Lili felt extremely melancholy.
She had not originally considered whether to let Yao Ji take that position, but a series of events that had happened before forced her into that position.
It turns out that all of this was a play directed by Uncle Qingfeng, including Shan Yang's final transformation into a demon, which was all within his calculations.
Before, he had sent Yao Ji and Wu Su into the "Demon Cave" together. His original intention was to use the orcs imprisoned in the "Demon Cave" to teach Yao Ji a lesson, because he knew that most people would never return, and even if they could come back, they would definitely be seriously injured. In this way, he could achieve his goal of removing Yao Ji, the stumbling block that prevented Yun Chu from becoming the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe.
Unexpectedly, Yao Ji was not only fine, but she also accidentally defeated the orc and found the Tianxuan Secret Realm, which made Elder Qingchen decide to advance the selection ceremony of the God of Mo. The intention was obvious, this was clearly specially designed for Yao Ji! This made him even more angry and embarrassed.
It happened that the disciple he had arranged to keep watch at the door of the "Demon Cave" secretly reported to him that a monster seemed to have escaped from the "Demon Cave". He immediately came up with an idea and secretly sent his disciples to set up a "Demon Capture Formation" on the way out of the mountain to prevent Shan Yang from going down the mountain.
His original purpose was just to capture Shan Yang alive, demonize him, and then frame Yao Ji, saying that Yao Ji was possessed by a demon, secretly communicated with the demon clan, and let the demon clan accomplices go. However, he did not expect that Shan Yang would be demonized so thoroughly in the end, and even the four elders combined were no match for him, causing the situation to get out of control and he almost set himself on fire. Now, Uncle Qingfeng was ordered by the other three elders to go into seclusion for reflection. After all, he was an elder of the Shamo clan, so it was not easy to punish him too severely.
But Yunchu was not so lucky. Because of her sneak attack on Yao Ji, she was exposed on the spot by Elder Qingsong and was directly expelled from Shamo Mountain.
"Yao Ji is the nineteenth generation chief wizard of our Shamo clan!"
It was this sentence that completely pushed Gong Lili to the position that she had subconsciously wanted to avoid. It seemed that fate was indeed destined by God and could not be avoided no matter what.
The evidence that Elder Qingchen had for what he said made Ying Lili speechless and choked up, because he only needed to point with his finger, and the mark on Ying Lili's forehead appeared. It was the golden sickle-shaped mark that had been passed down by the chief wizards of the Shamo clan for generations.
Although it was vague, it did appear at that moment!
Most importantly, everyone saw it!
Yinglili could only ask the heavens in silence, "God, was really playing tricks on her?" No, it should be said that Kamami was playing tricks on her. Why did she have no experience of Kamami's presence before, yet suddenly that golden mark appeared on her forehead?
Or, could it be that Elder Qingchen did something that caused Kamayui to wake up instantly?
Regarding this point, Ying Lili still hasn't figured it out. He subconsciously probed his spiritual consciousness into the sea of consciousness, but still found nothing. He didn't feel any trace of Kamami. Why is this?
Just as Yinglili was sighing in her room, there was a sudden knock on her door.
You could tell who it was from the rhythmic knocks on the door, one long and three short.
Senior Brother Wusu? What was he doing here? Was his previous injury healed? Wusu had sustained a severe back injury in yesterday's battle. Luckily, his senior brothers healed him in time, otherwise, Gong Lili would have felt guilty for a long time.
After some hesitation, I finally opened the door, only to be surprised to see Wu Su holding a bunch of fancy things in his hands. What is this? What is he going to do?
In Wu Su's hands, there was a bright and beautiful red lotus-shaped dress with gold trim. If Ying Lili remembered correctly, the pattern was almost identical to the dress worn by Yao Ji's spirit in her dream. Could it be...
She looked at Wu Su doubtfully, but saw Wu Su calmly handing the long skirt to her, with a serious look on his face: "Junior sister, today is a big day, you should dress up a little. You look too plain like this."
Ying Lili was slightly startled. She thought to herself, she was going to complete the inheritance of the Shamo tribe's chief wizard today, not to participate in a beauty pageant. Why would she dress up so beautifully? Besides, she wasn't a beauty to begin with, so how could she become a celestial being with more makeup? However, seeing Wu Su's sincere expression, she couldn't refuse his kindness. After all, it was just a change of clothes, no big deal.
She took the long skirt and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. How is your injury?"
Wu Su didn't respond, but just stared at her intently. This made Ying Lili subconsciously touch her face. Was there something dirty on her face that she hadn't washed clean? She looked up at Wu Su puzzledly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Wu Su suddenly pulled his gaze back and said in a panic: "It's nothing, wait until you finish changing, I'll wait for you outside, hurry up." Before he finished speaking, he had already slipped out of the door and closed the door behind him, leaving Ying Lili confused. She didn't know what he was acting out.
She quickly changed her clothes and reopened the door, only to see Wu Su, who was standing guard outside, produce a delicate dressing box. While she was still wondering, Wu Su walked in without hesitation and, without a word, ordered Gong Lili, "Sit down."
What was he going to do? Ying Lili felt a chill in her heart, as if she had guessed something. He, he couldn't be...
Unfortunately, her premonitions were always right, especially the bad ones. When Wu Su opened the dressing box with a red face, Ying Lili secretly cried out in her heart, "Oh no!" and suddenly had the urge to run away.
She spoke first, "Brother, please forgive me. I'm not a beauty. I won't be much prettier even if I try. Besides, I don't know how to do these things. If I mess up, I'll be laughed at. How can I face people in the future?"
Wu Su, however, acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She opened her dressing box and poured out all the rouge and powder inside, placing them on the table. Then, without questioning her, she said to Ying Lili, "Sit down!"
When seeing the charcoal pencil in Wu Su's hand, Ying Lili finally understood his intention. Was his uncle planning to do his makeup for him himself?
We Shamo wizards all have a pair of skillful hands...
She had witnessed Senior Brother Wusu's strength thousands of times before, and had always found it a very pleasant experience to watch him form hand seals. However, Ying Lili had never imagined that his hands, in addition to forming hand seals and performing countless sorcerous spells, could also dress people. These men of the Shamo tribe were truly essential for domestic life and robbery, capable of both high officialdom and private life...
In comparison, Yinglili felt like a loser.
Moreover, letting a man she didn't love dress her up was an indescribable ambiguous and weird situation. The guilt she felt as if she was having an affair made Ping Lili break out in a cold sweat.
However, seeing the solemn expression on Wu Su's face, she knew that nothing she said would be of any use. Unless she struck him unconscious, there was no chance of escaping his clutches. Once Senior Brother Wu Su got stubborn, even ten horses couldn't pull him back...
In order not to waste time and energy, she wisely gave up struggling and simply sat down with a desperate attitude. She made up her mind, closed her eyes, and decided to just melt away. At worst, she could hypnotize herself again. After quickly repeating a hundred times, "This is Yao Ji's body, it has nothing to do with me," she forced herself to calm down.
