1960 Now You Know That I Have Always Been Truthful To You (1/2)

Gu Xijiu shook her head in disapproval; it was probably the premenstrual syndrome that had caused her confusion, which explained why she was emotionally affected when the child flirted with her.

Shen Nianmo was obviously treating her as someone who was of the same age as him, which was why he would not stop flirting. The absurdity could not go on anymore.

The snakes danced violently to the sound of the lute. A few moments later, some of the snakes lay quietly on the ground, exhausted from the dance. Others were alarmed. They knew they should not follow the dance any longer, but they could not control their movement at all. About 15 minutes later, all the remaining snakes lay helplessly on the ground.

Shen Nianmo finally let the lute down. ”You can begin your hunt now. Pick whichever that you want,” he uttered.

While he was talking, he also turned around to check the surroundings for Gu Xijiu. However, what he saw shocked him to the core. He was frozen momentarily, then took a step back in retreat.

The beautiful and adorable young girl was replaced by the woman who had been giving him nightmares.

There she stood in completely black outfits– black robes, black hair, and a black, disturbing mask of a vicious ghost, highly resembling the grim reaper who had just emerged from Hell.

”You…” He only managed to say something in a hoarse whisper.

Gu Xijiu had returned to her usual appearance. While Shen Nianmo was busy playing the lute, she quickly made her change of wardrobe in a dark corner. Within seconds, she changed into her usual look very quickly without alarming Shen Nianmo.

The purpose of the change was to let the child recognize her true identity. She knew that the child used to be intimidated by her image. By throwing the gloom at him again, she believed that he would no longer be able to flirt with her.

To her delight, she gave him a tight smile. ”What is it? Little Nianmo, can you recognize me?” With a note of mockery in her voice, she sounded, once again, like the mysterious woman.

”Now, I see. It has always been you,” he answered coldly with a profound look in his eyes.
