1905 The Scary And Ugly Woman (1/2)

As she was talking, she also blew some air on the wood to light up the fire.

Shen Nianmo was convinced, so he accepted her offer. He huddled around the fire and shared half of the meat with Gu Xijiu. As for the other half, he arranged the meat accordingly. Then, he threaded the meat on to the skewers and grilled over the gentle fire.

Gu Xijiu watched as his obsessive-compulsive behavior was displayed by him cutting the meat into equal sizes; it was even neater than those cut by machines. She could not help but laugh at him. It was common if he had done all this with a spell, but this time, he obviously did it all by himself, manually with a knife.

The child had a strong behavioral pattern governed by compulsion. She took a look at his hair and his clothes. He had tried his best to look his best, given the circumstances. He would fall sick easily if his hair and clothes remained soaking wet. Therefore, Gu Xijiu raised her arm and performed the cleaning spell for him. Instantly, his hair and clothes became dry.

Shen Nianmo was surprised by her sudden offer of assistance. When he realized that his hair and clothes were all clean and dry, he gave Gu Xijiu an approving look and said, ”Your spell is not bad.”

If she could perform the spell within the wizardry barrier by breaking his father's preset suppression for all spiritual power, she must be someone quite powerful. Gu Xijiu said nothing further and only answered with a smile.

Shen Nianmo started to get her into more conversations. He tried to get to know more about the mysterious person utilizing devious questioning.

The little boy was rather talkative. Nonchalantly, she sat on the tree, trying to tease him. She would like to see how he would react when he was offended. Therefore, she remained quiet throughout all his questions, pretending to be cool.

Shen Nianmo was famished. When one of the skewers was finally done, he quickly picked it up and was ready to feast, but before the food even touched his lips, he was surprised to find that the meat on the skewer was already gone. He almost bit the stick!

Out of anger, he turned his eyes toward Gu Xijiu and saw her enjoying the meat that he had just grilled. Gu Xijiu was still wearing a mask, so Shen Nianmo could hardly see her true face.

Shen Nianmo was furious at what she had done. Moreover, he was extremely hungry. He rushed at her and shouted, ”Give me back my food!” He had to get his food back, as he already shared half of the meat for her to grill.

Gu Xijiu remained her composure and swiftly retreated about a mile to another tree. There, she lay lazily.
