Arthur did not return, but Fisheranki's messenger bird arrived first.
Li Aili opened the study window and let the little creature with gorgeous blue feathers fly in.
Today, this messenger bird has no flowers on its body.
Clearly, Fisheranki hasn't won Alice over yet.
Li Aili took two folded pieces of parchment from the mailbox behind the bird.
She unfolded the first parchment and wrote in elegant, cursive script:
I guess my sister wanted this when she came last time.
Also, Lily hasn't forgiven me yet. Do you have any good suggestions, sister?
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili picked up her pen, and the nib traced a graceful line, leaving behind delicate handwriting:
Dear brother-in-law:
Why don't you write to Arthur and ask him about this?
After all, you both have plenty of experience in making your wives angry.
By the way, I am answering this question seriously.
I suggest you listen to Arthur's answer in reverse.
Otherwise, you might also get divorced.
Your older sister, Li Aili.
She inserted the reply into the messenger bird's mailbox, fed the bluebird an energy stone, and then released it.
After the blue messenger bird disappeared into the horizon, Li Aili began to study the second folded parchment.
As the parchment was unfolded and its contents were seen, Li Aili's expression became somewhat strange.
At the very center of the parchment is a very prominent summoning circle.
The title at the very top of the parchment, written in a distorted, common mainland Chinese script, reads: 【Hell is at your service】
At the very bottom of the paper was written: "As long as a single drop of your blood falls onto the teleportation array, you will be able to meet Hell's best salesman, 666."
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili picked up the flyer and headed straight for Leongor's alchemy workshop.
Dozens of meters away from the alchemy room, a loud 'bang' was heard, and the alchemy furnace exploded again.
Li Aili remained calm and walked to the alchemy workshop.
Thick smoke billowed out of the open door.
A dusty-faced, long-eared elf stood at the doorway, coughing.
"Good afternoon, Leongor. What was that just now? A new type of explosive pill?"
"Cough cough!" Leongor coughed. "No! I was just testing the Indestructible Pill."
"It turns out it really is amazing..."
He was like a mad scientist, muttering to himself as he crawled into the still-smoking alchemy room.
Li Aili followed him into the alchemy workshop.
“Uh…” Leongor froze.
Li Aili stood behind him, peeked out, and quickly saw the rats on the ground that had been blown to pieces...
Li Aili: "..."
Very good. It seems that it won't be long before Emerald Valley is free of rats for miles around.
She closed her eyes sincerely and prayed for the mice that had died in the experiment: May Leongor be absent from the mice's paradise.
Opening her eyes, Li Aili handed the 'Hellish Little Flyer' to Leongor.
"Get me some rat blood and drip it on."
Leongor glanced at it, then looked at Li Aili in surprise, "Where did you get this?"
Li Aili replied, "Your cousin gave it to me."
Leongor nodded and turned to get the rat blood.
"Ah!" Leongor suddenly realized, looked at the flyer in his hand, and then at Li Aili.
"Wait, can we use rat blood for this?"
"To summon a demon, the summoner must sacrifice their own blood, right?"
Li Aili thought for a moment and asked, "Was it said that we can't use rat blood?"
Leongor was taken aback.
Leongor explained, "The blood used in the summoning circle is for the demon that is summoned."
Li Aili asked again, "So, did anyone say that rat blood can't be used?"
Leongor: "..."
He looked at Li Aili with a troubled expression, "No..."
Then, Leongor deftly pulled a fat rat out of the cage.
He swiftly drained a vial of blood.
Afterwards, the mouse's wound was bandaged with clean gauze.
This thing even tied a pretty bow for the mouse in the end.
Li Aili walked out of the city with a parchment bearing a summoning circle drawn on it.
Halfway there, Leongor caught up with him on his run.
Leongor caught up and said, "I'm curious to see how the demon summoned after using rat blood will react."
Li Aili: "..." I knew this would happen.
Where do we go now?
"Ah! Don't you know a cardinal? Why don't we go find him? Um, I mean, even the devils are afraid of the God of Light."
Li Aili retorted, "You think the Holy Light Church couldn't think of any other solutions? You can think of one."
Leongor: "Huh?"
"When performance is poor, summoning demons to boost it—do you think that's a good idea?"
Leongor: "..." (⊙o⊙)!
"Ah, this, that..."
"If there is even a single element of light floating in the entire Emerald Valley, no demon will come out."
"Otherwise, the devils of hell would have been caught by entrapment operations long ago."
Leongor: "..."
Li Aili walked to the pumpkin patch outside the city, took out a bottle of growth potion, and threw it directly into the pumpkin patch.
In an instant, the tranquil pumpkin patch resembled the ocean awakened by a 'giant sea monster'.
Countless pumpkin vines soared into the air, vying for the potion that caused them to grow wildly.
"I'm going to summon a guy out here. If that guy causes trouble, you know what to do, right?"
Guagua rolled his triangular eyes down at Li Aili on the ground. The thickest pumpkin vine slowly lifted up and, mimicking Li Aili, made an 'OK' gesture.
very good!
Li Aili opened the small bottle containing rat blood and poured the red rat blood onto the summoning circle.
The red blood appeared as if it had been poured into a blood trough, flowing along the edge of the black summoning circle and gradually turning the ink-black color into blood-red.
The parchment emitted a black 'mist' with a pungent sulfur smell, the surrounding air became murky, and the temperature rose rapidly.
This is……
The passage to hell has been opened.
The black 'mist' resembled a small tower, gradually shrinking into a human shape.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, a humanoid devil with a black goatee and red skin appeared before Li Ai Li and Leongor.
He smacked his lips, making a 'smack smack' sound.
"...This blood..." the devil savored, "Why does it taste so strange?"
Leongor: "..."
A bubble rose from the top of his head, its color somewhat ethereal: "Ah...so, the blood used for summoning was drunk directly by the demon."
He couldn't help but glance at Li Aili.
Li Aili looked away.
"Run an errand for me," she said casually to the devil '666' in front of her.
"Please, go back to Hell and find the devil who made a pact with 'Arthur Cold Jade'."
"Please pass on a message for me, saying, 'I'm waiting for him here. I have a big order that I'd like to do with him.'"
Behind them, in the Emerald City, the Goblin Bank is under construction.
Ruby Moneybag, who was overseeing the work inside, sneezed loudly.
