Chapter 161 Milk, stop reading…
Tu Lan crunched on the potato chips, making a loud crunching sound. In fact, dragon teeth are hard, and potato chips are like porridge to a dragon, but she just likes to hear this sound. The crumbs fell down like snowflakes, which hurt Yu Xunge's eyes. He used Clean Up on the ground.
Tu Lan flew to the other side with a grin: "But you signed an equal contract with me, so your life force will be amplified. You can live for at least five hundred years."
Yu Xun, who was about to flip the pork chop with a spatula, suddenly turned to look at Tu Lan, her voice trembling slightly with excitement and surprise: "Really?"
Tu Lan: "Of course. Although we can't share attributes, as long as a dragon is willing, it can give the other party in the equal contract a boost to their life force."
Yu Xunge asked definitively, "So you're willing???"
Tulan sat in the air, flapping its little wings, and said nonchalantly, "Of course I'm willing. I won't lose anything. This is a blessing from the dragon. I just gave it to you because I like you."
Yu Xunge: "This blessing... if we ever have a fight in the future, will you take it back?"
Tulan was enraged. She straightened up in the air, her wingtips pointing to the sky, and roared, "Of course not!!! Do you think I'm some kind of trash dragon?! Giving someone something and then taking it back is something that will get you struck by lightning! For example, if I gave someone 53,028 gold coins, I would absolutely not take them back!"
Yu Xunge: "..." Thank you for not giving my name directly, but only the amount of my savings.
Yu Xunge silently turned around and flipped the pork chop, exclaiming dramatically, "Oops, it's burnt!!"
Tu Lan: ...You've grown wings!
...
After dark, Baozi stood behind the coffee machine, lost in thought.
She had already seen what happened yesterday through the surveillance footage. The fake old lady seemed quite normal at first, and appeared to be genuinely trying to make a deal with her. Considering that she didn't lose anything except for one hour of memory loss, it was highly likely that her mind-reading ability had been discovered...
Sigh, all I can say is that in this vast world, if she can read minds, why can't others discover it?
Moreover, the other party had actually shown mercy, only erasing one hour of her memory; otherwise, if the other party had been more ruthless, she wouldn't have been able to save her life.
Lost in thought, she heard an extremely piercing sound, as if something sharp was scraping against the glass. Bao Paijiu looked towards the door, but there was no one there.
"Sizzle—"
here we go again!
Bao Paijiu looked again, her gaze shifting downwards, and saw a tabby cat standing outside the door. After meeting her eyes, the cat raised its paw and scratched at the glass again.
Bao Paijiu: "..." You really do encounter all sorts of customers when you live long enough.
The tabby cat impatiently raised its paw and patted the door.
Bao Pai-Jiu walked over, opened the door, and let the cat in. The tabby cat walked to a table first, stopped, jumped onto the table, turned its head to look at Bao Pai-Jiu, and then patted the table with its paw: Come here.
Baozi didn't activate mind-reading. She had tried it a long time ago. When she used mind-reading on animals or people who had turned into animals, all she heard were animal sounds. When she used it on other races, she heard their language. This mind-reading didn't have a translation function.
Yu Xunge, who was loudly reciting the Great Compassion Mantra in his mind, slammed his hand on the table again: Hurry up!!!
Bao Pai Jiu walked over and sat down. Then he saw a piece of paper pushed towards him by a cat's paw. On it was written a sentence: "[For the sake of not killing you yesterday or telling anyone about your talent, I'll ask you something. After I turn into an animal, can you hear my thoughts?]"
Is this the same cat as the old lady from yesterday?!
She discovered that she could no longer see the aura of wealth emanating from the other person.
Bao Pai Jiu looked at the tabby cat in front of him with a complicated expression: "No need to try. After you turn into an animal, I can only hear meowing. Whatever sound you make when you speak is the same sound I hear when I read your mind."
Yu Xunge's cat whiskers twitched. She realized Bao Paijiu was still up to no good, so she pulled out a second note: "Do you have a translator that can translate animal language?"
Bao Paijiu's expression shifted, realizing this old woman was being a bit too difficult: "No..."
Yu Xunge didn't say whether she believed it or not. She picked and chose and took out a third note: [Don't move here, I'll be right back.]
Bao Pai Jiu: ...You're never going to stop taking advantage of others, are you?!
The tabby cat quickly jumped off the table and, amidst the exclamations of a few guests—"So cute!!" "How come there's a cat here!"—ran to the toilet, stood up, pushed open the door, and went inside. A minute later, an old lady wearing a floral dress and cloth shoes came out.
Upon seeing the old lady again, Bao Paijiu gave a fake smile that couldn't be more fake: "I'm glad you came."
Yu Xunge casually replied, "If you like it, that's good."
That was a real stress response on her part yesterday, but if she had the choice again, she would still do the same thing.
If she hadn't left, she would have remained on guard against Baozi's skills. The more she told herself not to think about something, the more she would think about it. She couldn't even be sure whether her thoughts came from her own mind or were the result of being guided by Baozi.
Unlike today, she came fully prepared—she recited five Buddhist scriptures before coming.
I also learned three catchy, corny songs.
I can guarantee that I can cleanse my mind completely at any time.
After sitting down, she asked Baozi, "Could you use your mind-reading ability on me one more time?"
This morning, when she asked Hufflepuff if there was any way to deal with mind reading, Hufflepuff said she didn't know, because no one dared to use mental abilities on her.
Hufflepuff didn't explain exactly why no one dared to do it, but her words reminded Yu Xunge of an S-level skill she had bought a long time ago.
【Soul Resistance (Passive)】(s): Permanently provides a soul-level defense, granting immunity to mind control skills and reducing damage from mind-based attacks by 30%.
She was initially frightened by the words "mind control" and bought the skill just in case. It was a passive skill, and over time, she almost forgot she had it.
If mind reading is considered a mental skill, then would using mind reading on her be considered a mental attack?
Bao Pai Jiu remained silent for a moment.
Yu Xunge flipped the first piece of paper out from the bottom and pointed to the sentence: "For the sake of me not killing you yesterday or telling anyone about your talent."
Bao Pai Jiu: Fine, you're something else...
Bao Pai Jiu: "Let's make this clear first, you're the one who told me to use this on you, so you're not allowed to force-feed me any more drugs."
Yu Xunge nodded, then began to silently recite the Heart Sutra in his mind. He then collected all the notes on the table, intending to burn them when he got back.
A few seconds later, Bao Pai Jiu abruptly ended the skill with a complicated expression: "I read it, but it was intermittent, like a bad signal. What relic... neither born nor dying... burned... neither increasing... that is emptiness..."
Bao Pai Jiu covered his head: "Can I stop using my skills now?... Healer, stop chanting..."
