The boy thought Lin Xi hadn't heard him clearly, or that she was too shy to admit it because he had guessed her purpose.
So he spoke again.
"So, you're here to confess your feelings to me, right? But you're a bit late. There are several people ahead of you in line. You'll have to wait while I think about it and decide who to accept."
As he spoke, the boy's expression gradually became smug, as if giving Lin Xi a love token was a great honor for her.
Lin Xi: "………………"
Having lived for so many years, this was the first time she had encountered something like this, and she was so angry that she laughed.
After letting out a cold laugh, she immediately scanned the boy up and down twice with her eyes, perfectly conveying her disdain and contempt before speaking.
"You mean, someone would be interested in a man like you who is neither good-looking nor has any charisma, is not tall, has poor grades, has a dark personality, has terrible interpersonal relationships, doesn't even care about hygiene, and reeks of stench?"
"Are you still half asleep or can't afford a mirror? If you're still half asleep, slap yourself twice. If you can't afford a mirror, take a piss and look at yourself. If all else fails, go outside and see how many people on the street will give you a second glance!"
"If I hadn't used that underhanded peach blossom spell, do you really think any girl would have wanted to say a single word to you?"
Lin Xi rarely went all out, unleashing a torrent of words that left the boy blushing and furious.
However, when Lin Xi uttered the last sentence, especially the three words "Peach Blossom Curse," the boy's face instantly lost all color and turned deathly pale.
He stared at Lin Xi with wide eyes in disbelief, and subconsciously retorted.
"What are you talking about? What Peach Blossom Curse? You've been reading too many novels!"
Lin Xi snorted coldly, made hand seals, and sent a burst of spiritual energy toward the boy.
Although spiritual power is invisible and intangible, it is the natural enemy and nemesis of all kinds of dark and evil magic.
The moment the spiritual energy struck, the boy suddenly screamed, then jumped up and frantically threw something out of his pocket.
With a clang, a peach wood ornament was revealed.
The ornament was only the size of a palm, flat in shape, with a strangely shaped figure carved in the middle.
The figure's face was obscured; only its bizarre shape, resembling a twisted vine, was visible.
Especially the two arms, which seem to reach out from the wood carving, hooking people into the ornament.
When the boy took out the peach wood ornament, it was still faintly emitting black smoke, as if it had been charred.
"My Peach Blossom Goddess!"
After the boy dropped the peach wood ornament on the ground, he immediately regretted it. Once he came to his senses, he knelt down and tried to pick it up again.
Unfortunately, the peach wood ornament was still hot, so he wanted to touch it but didn't dare, for fear of getting burned.
When Lin Xi heard the boy call out "Peach Blossom Goddess," she immediately frowned and looked disgusted.
What kind of nonsensical names are these?
God, this is clearly an evil object!
I don't know which evil cultivator made it, and then this boy in front of me picked it up.
However, although this peach wood ornament is considered eerie, the material is quite good; the peach wood is estimated to be several hundred years old.
When the time comes, take it back and perform a ritual to remove the evil spirits from it, tidy it up, and maybe it can be used to make a magic weapon or amulet.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi took out a talisman and prepared to wrap the peach wood ornament and take it back.
After she took out the talisman, it seemed to have a mind of its own, and flew towards the peach wood ornament on the ground. Then she wrapped the peach wood ornament and delivered it to Lin Xi.
The boy on the ground was so shocked when he saw this that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
This was the first time he had ever seen such a supernatural phenomenon; it was even more amazing than magic!
But at this moment, he couldn't care less about looking at anything else; his eyes were only on the "Peach Blossom Goddess" who was getting further and further away from him.
The boy reached out to grab the peach wood ornament, but after realizing he couldn't touch it at all, he changed his attitude and knelt down in front of Lin Xi, begging her.
"Classmate, no, immortal, master, I beg you, please give me back the Peach Blossom God! I didn't do anything bad with it. I just wanted to experience what it feels like to be liked, and I just wanted to satisfy my vanity. I really didn't do anything else!"
The boy, with tears streaming down his face, began to recount his grievances.
According to the boy, because of his introverted personality and lack of any outstanding qualities, he has always been the kind of person who gets lost in the crowd since childhood.
In the past, things were fine. Teachers and parents strongly urged everyone to study hard, and most students didn't have any other thoughts.
However, after entering university, everyone began to let loose and were also at the age of budding youth, so many students started dating.
He actually wants to be in a relationship.
Unfortunately, due to his personality, he was too afraid to approach girls.
Moreover, he was well aware that he did not possess any qualities that would attract girls to approach him.
For these reasons, he has been in college for so long, watching his roommates and classmates find partners one by one, while he remains single, and his mood has changed.
At first, it was just envy and anticipation, but it gradually turned into anxiety and inferiority, and finally it all turned into jealousy and resentment.
Even when he occasionally sees couples walking on the street, he can't help but have some dark thoughts, praying that something will happen to them and that they will break up.
However, he only dared to think about it in his heart, and in reality, he didn't even dare to say a word to people.
And it was at that moment that he accidentally picked up this ornament on the road.
He found the ornament in a small alley outside the school.
At the time, he just thought the ornament looked high-quality and must be expensive. Since there was no one else on the road, he picked it up, put it in his pocket, and took it back to school.
He originally planned to take it back to his dorm and put it on his desk as a decoration.
But after returning to his dormitory, he played with it for a while and suddenly had a very strange idea.
It was as if a subconscious voice was telling him that this ornament was a good thing and could bring him good luck in love.
However, at the time he didn't know what to do, but the idea that "this is a good thing that can help me" grew stronger and stronger.
Then one day in a dream, he suddenly dreamed of a scene.
In his dream, he became an ancient man.
Then, in the dream, "he" began to have contact with other women, and each time he only had contact with one woman. The contact seemed normal, with nothing unusual about it.
