"Why, do you care about her?" Li Lengbuding came up and asked.
"Uh... not really. Why do you say that?"
The fox demon glanced at Xia Fan playfully, "Because you have been staring at this name for a while."
"I just think it's a pity that her name is not Dabai or Xiaoqing." The latter said honestly.
"Ah?" Li didn't seem to expect such an answer, "What's special about these two names?"
"I heard a rumor about a story about a snake demon and a human being getting married. The protagonist in it is called this name."
"You can't hear it by "listening", right? "
"Why, can't there be such rumors in the world?" Xia Fan was surprised by the other party's sensitivity.
"I knew it." Li shrugged, "You will understand when you see her in person. If someone's aesthetics is similar to yours, they may be able to accept the change in appearance of the rabbit demon, but it is almost impossible for the snake demon to meet the one he likes - Ying's features are all on her face, her neck and the edges of her cheeks are covered with scales, and her tongue is a forked snake-shaped tongue, making her more like a 'monster' than other demons."
At this point, she sighed softly, "Although I don't think she is a real monster, she seems to always think so. She usually covers half of her face with a mask, leaving only her eyes outside. When talking to her We can also clearly feel her inferiority and cowardice. I thought she would not come to Jinxia with us."
"Ying probably thinks that you are more trustworthy than the wolf demon who stayed in the villa." Xia Fan comforted.
If the features appear on the face, it will indeed be more difficult to be accepted by the world - even a human being will be unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life if his face is scarred or deformed. Tattooing on the face is a humiliating punishment, let alone Ying or a snake demon.
"If you have time, I think you should chat with her." Li stretched his waist as he spoke, straightening his body to show a perfect curve.
"Why?" Xia Fan pretended to glance casually.
"Because I think you are quite good at comforting people, and you often have quirks that are different from ordinary people - I mean, you can find shining points that others cannot."
"...Why do you think this is not a compliment to me?"
"Don't worry, I'm just complimenting you." Li smiled, "The ability to comfort others is part of the mind. Those who are good at this are often more tolerant."
Xia Fan shook his head helplessly and continued to read Ying's account.
"The mind belongs to Kun... can the magic penetrate the barrier?" He raised his eyebrows when he scanned the last page, "What does this sentence mean?"
"Closing the container has no effect on her." Li replied. "On the way back, I did a few small tests, such as putting a small object into the box, and then putting the padlock in front of her. As long as Ying successfully cast By using the Xin Xing technique, you can take out the objects inside without opening the box."
"You mean... retrieving objects from the air?" Xia Fan said in surprise.
"You can think so."
"But you mentioned that if it succeeds...are there any limitations to her technique?"
"It's strange to say that as long as someone is staring at Ying, this technique will definitely fail." Li recalled the test scene at that time, which really made people feel inexplicably scary. "She has to be able to do this without anyone noticing."
"This technique is really incredible." Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Then can she pass through walls or other obstacles?"
"I also asked this question. Ying said that this is only possible when she transforms into a snake. Penetrating the wall feels like passing through a deep hole, but she doesn't want to use this ability."
"Why?"
"You...sometimes you are very smart, sometimes you are very slow." Li Bai glanced at Xia Fan, "When you become giant, you can hide your clothes on your body, but when you become small, you can't carry your clothes with you. She can walk through walls. , but the clothes are left on the other side, wouldn’t it mean that we can only be naked?”
Well, this was a blind spot that he didn't pay attention to.
But having said that, there are indeed some skills in Kunshu. From Mo Yun's Heavenly Movement Instrument to Yunshang Layman's Qiankun Sword, they are all related to changes in space. They are worthy of being the major category corresponding to Qianshu in the hexagram diagram.
With this character alone, even if Ying finds it difficult to let go of her guard and deal with others freely in the future, she can still guarantee that she will have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life by staying at home and helping Mo Yun make the celestial instrument.
Xia Fan cleared his throat, put down the list, and turned his head to look at Li, "I have a basic understanding of their situation, but not yours yet—since you have returned to the Villa, is it time for me to see your changes?"
Compared with relocating the people, Li's changes are the focus of his greatest concern.
This time it was Li's turn to feel uncomfortable.
She hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Don't laugh at me."
"A joke? How could it be?" Xia Fan immediately promised, "I will definitely not laugh."
Although he wanted to say another sentence unless he couldn't help it, he also knew that once the second half of the sentence was spoken, it would be no different than seeking death.
Li looked at him deeply, turned around and walked into the back room, "Wait a moment."
When she came out again, she had changed into her usual attire - a short-sleeved slanted blouse and a long blue skirt that showed vitality, which brought her sense of youth to the extreme. Li Li, who had lost all her restraints, undoubtedly looked much more complete. The most striking change was , undoubtedly the twin tails behind her, one brown and one white, making it difficult to ignore.
"It's ugly... right?" Li walked slowly to Xia Fan.
The latter suddenly realized that the reason why the other party showed such a resistant look in front of the city gate was actually not fundamentally different from Ying. It was all due to doubts and uneasiness about being different from others. There is nothing wrong with a fox demon having one tail, but having two tails is very weird. This "distortion" that goes against the secular concept is also the biggest factor affecting Li's mental fluctuations.
"How could it be?" Xia Fan had already put his hand on the new tail—perhaps because of the new birth, the white tail's hair is more delicate and feels like feathers. "I think it suits you quite well."
"Suitable for me?" Li was slightly stunned.
"There are not many people in this world who can learn spells across different categories and perform them well." Even Xia Fan is no exception. Even if he knows the principles, the effect of spells of other categories is far less than that of Zhen. technique. "Since you are so special, is it weird for you to show up in your image? Don't forget that Qi itself is transforming your body with your consciousness. If you want to become the King of Demons, this extra tail may be a symbol."
Li's face suddenly turned red.
"That Tengu guy..."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it," Xia Fan chuckled. "Isn't what you've done just to get closer to this goal? No matter what kind of monster you want to be in the end, I will support you."
Li was suddenly speechless.
After being silent for a long time, she put aside her previous worries and said softly, "Look, what I said is indeed right. You are really good at comforting people."
