Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 92: Does the Biological Daughter Not Measure Up to Char Siu?
As a newly emerging industrial city on the West Coast of the Federation, the urban layout of Saifu City, despite several renovations, still had no connection with the elegance that classical art lovers sought in their eyes, instead, it formed a unique industrial geometric beauty.
Looking far down from the leel and straight streets, one could see rows of high-rise apartment buildings neatly lined up like integrated circuits on an electronic chip.
After the brief, glorious sunlight in the early morning, the sky was quickly covered with thick smoke belching from towering chimneys. The whole city was like a precisely running machine, filled with the coldness of steel rivets, the piercing friction of meshing gears, and the pungent odor of lubricant.
For ordinary people who had never seen much of the world in their lifetime, it was indeed a nice spot for internet celebrities to check in.
But for Li Mumu who had already played all sorts of virtual reality games to destruction in the later generations, it was as unattractive as a rural workshop.
Back then, I piloted the Black Ark myself and participated in the fourteenth interstellar expedition. I also rode a mammoth war elephant, led the army to conquer the White City. I once raised the Golden Apple high, fighting the Nine-Toed God Beggar for three hundred rounds, and I climbed atop the walls of Luoyang City, drew my sword and looked around, saving the Young Emperor and supporting the Han Household as it was about to fall...
I had experienced so many magnificent heroic epics, and I had obtained so many platinum trophies and hidden achievements.
It was not easy to actually travel through time once, and then you tell me that since childhood, I have been up to no good, infamous, and even a demon would tremble three times upon seeing me...
I cannot accept this!
I can’t stay another moment in this place that’s full of my dark childhood history!
"I’ve decided, I’m going back to my country!"
Although Li Mumu had already changed her mind after coming through and clarifying the situation, her conviction had never been as strong as it was now.
Start afresh in a new place, bury all the unsightly dark history in the past.
"Are you going to accept their scholarship?"
Wendy was silent for a moment, then asked softly.
"Do I look like someone who needs those two thousand US Dollars?"
A short-handed person is easily controlled, and Li Mumu is no fool.
The demon’s money doesn’t come to one easily, and it’s not like her family is so poor she can’t afford to eat. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
But money is still important, who knows what the situation in the country is at this time in this world; if I really go back and can’t afford to eat, that would be terrible.
"I’ll go home first, let’s meet at the library entrance at six in the afternoon."
Li Mumu didn’t ask Wendy if she was free, from what she remembered of Wendy, aside from hanging out with her, she had no other friends, let alone any social activities; she just lay flat at home all day doing nothing.
Wendy kindly reminded, "Do you want to adapt for a bit longer before going home? If your mom realizes you’re not up to scratch, she might kill you."
[She wants you to spend more time with her]
Li Mumu shook her head, "My mother is so astute, it’s probably impossible to hide it from her, I plan to go home and lay it all out honestly."
"What will you say to her?"
"I’ll tell her I’m no longer who I used to be, from now on, I want to study hard... no, I want to study diligently and become a refined and elegant lady."
"Knowing your mother, that might just work."
[Your house is at 26 Skylark Road]
[Your mother, Li Ya, is a savvy yet indolent and sloppy woman. Her biggest resentment in life is that although you inherited her surname, you did not inherit her Witch talents. This has caused her much ridicule in the Sisters’ Association for many years. She has a high tolerance for you in some areas yet is extremely strict in others. Based on your memory, the best approach is to be upfront with her.]
[Remember to buy a bouquet of flowers before going home]
[Your mom likes red roses, don’t listen to Wendy’s suggestion to buy yellow or white chrysanthemums.]
Roses are so expensive!
Even though Valentine’s Day had passed two months ago, fresh flowers were rare on the market and a luxury only the wealthy could afford.
Li Mumu’s wallet slimmed down a bit more for a bouquet of roses.
She now deeply resented her younger self who had no concept of money.
Buying a circus, crazy!
Number 26 Skylark Road was a standalone villa with its own front and back gardens. It was a typical middle-class residence in Safo City, except, unfortunately, it wasn’t their own property.
The house was rented.
Her father made a decent amount of money, but her mother was also quick to spend it.
Li Ya was a bona fide Witch, a top student among Witches, the King of Competitor, the Battle Maiden.
But it was also precisely because of this that she couldn’t tolerate her daughter’s mediocrity and incompetence.
Not having the talent of a Witch was simply a stain on her own life.
When Li Mumu followed the memories of this body back to the familiar yet strange home, as soon as she entered, she saw Li Ya wearing a dark red silk nightgown, sprawled carelessly on the living room sofa, mouth open, eyes closed, sleeping like a corpse.
[You can’t help but admire in your heart, what a sexy woman.]
Li Mumu rarely used the word sexy to describe the same sex, usually only using it when she saw disheveled busty characters in the paid card pools that made her go crazy.
Having a mother with a good figure was one thing, but it was also the carefree style of dressing without knowing where the underwear went and the weak and powerless feeling brought about by staying up late for research that created an irresistible urge to take care of, feed, and even commit further crimes.
Her father had succumbed to temptation back in the day, thinking he had picked up a free wife on the street, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Sensing the fragrance of fresh flower petals, Li Ya opened her eyes, struggled to sit up from the sofa, snatched the roses to press against her face for a deep breath, and glanced sideways at her obedient and cute daughter.
"Tell me, what trouble have you caused now?"
Li Mumu clutched her fingers, gritted her teeth, and whispered softly, "Last night, Wendy and I did... a Spirit Possession Ceremony."
"Did it fail?"
"It succeeded."
Li Ya’s originally drowsy eyes instantly widened, she sat up and stared at Li Mumu, "What are you, daring to occupy my daughter’s body?"
"I’m sorry, Mommy, I was wrong!"
Li Mumu quickly said, "I’m no longer the me I used to be, I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf and start anew, from today I’ll study hard, work hard at my studies, listen to Mommy, and strive to get into a prestigious school to stand out from the crowd!"
Just as Li Ya was about to smash her own daughter’s head with the Crystal Ball, she stopped, hearing these words.
"Really?"
"Really really!"
"It had better be, otherwise, Li Mumu, you are done for, I will trust you one last time!"
Li Ya set down the Crystal Ball, muttering that she should’ve given birth to a piece of barbecued pork instead, and collapsed softly down like a deflated ball.
Is she accepting the facts just like that?
Although in the memories of this body, her mother had always been like this, experiencing it firsthand for the first time, Li Mumu was still deeply shocked.
