Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1261 - 42: Eating More and More Watermelons in the Field
How powerful, how beautiful.
At that moment, the innocent girl’s elegant detective dream quietly shattered.
Then she watched as the beast, akin to a deity, transformed into a beam of white light and descended before her.
A woman.
A girl of similar age, perhaps slightly younger, with three thousand strands of white hair cascading like snow, covered by a crimson veil.
She moved like a startled swan, gracefully as a roaming dragon.
"Brother Yin, why are you entangled with such insignificant creatures here?"
Li Mumu softly questioned.
Yin Nan was so ashamed he wanted to disappear.
Back home, he was considered a talented young prodigy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have qualified to study at the Penglai Immortal Academy.
But compared to these demon-like senior brothers, sisters, and junior sisters, he felt like a complete failure.
"Thank you, junior sister, for stepping in to help."
"It was nothing, senior brother, don’t dwell on it."
It was truly just a casual intervention.
Li Mumu came to find Yin Nan merely as an excuse; their relationship hadn’t reached the point where not seeing each other in a day felt like an eternity.
The real reason she came to the mountain-top hotel was due to some karmic calculation related to her.
Things were already in chaos over at Xiangjiang, with three senior sisters in red missing without a trace... Although physically absent, the lack of any movement was still concerning.
Since these vampires were behind the chaos in every way, clues must be extracted from them.
"Junior sister, this...?"
Yin Nan pointed at the hanging human head made into a candied haw, hesitating to speak.
The scene was truly horrific, with some rescued survivors fainting from fear.
"It is of no consequence; it’s merely a public display."
Mere display?
Then what would not be a mere display? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Yin Nan swallowed his words, fearing that the seemingly amiable junior sister might suspend him too.
"Weren’t you and Mr. Yang here to rescue someone? Where is he?"
Li Mumu looked around, not seeing Yang Chan’s shadow.
Could he be dead?
Following Yin Nan, he shouldn’t have died inexplicably.
"Him... we’ll talk later. Let me introduce you; this is Brother Yang’s sister, Yang Xu."
Regarding Yang Chan’s whereabouts, Yin Nan seemed reluctant to speak, awkwardly shifting the focus, presenting Yang Xu to Li Mumu.
"Then you take her back first..."
"Wait a minute!"
Yang Xu quickly asked, "May I ask, are you a disciple of the Guiding Bodhisattva?"
"Oh?"
Li Mumu was somewhat surprised to encounter someone so perceptive in these foreign lands.
"Indeed."
The Guiding Bodhisattva—who is that? Completely unheard of.
Seeing the starry-eyed admiration of Yang Xu, Yin Nan stood beside them, embarrassed.
Sister Chu surely has another legacy; at Penglai, although Xiao Tingyun was called the Mountain Leader, everyone acknowledged him as the master.
Only Sister Chu was an exception; from entry, she addressed him as Senior Xiao.
Although everyone speculated about this, it was only now that the specific origins were revealed.
"Actually, two of my aunts are disciples of the Guiding Bodhisattva. I wonder if you might know them."
Yang Xu eyed an opportunity.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mumu indeed grew curious: "I haven’t heard of them."
Yang Family members surely carry the surname Yang.
The only Yang Family member she knew who could relate to Ms. Bai Zhi was Yang Qiming from the Navy.
The renowned Marshal Yang was known for his coldness towards family.
Could it be two of the three senior sisters stationed at Xiangjiang?
Thinking of this, Li Mumu asked, "Do you know their whereabouts now?"
Yang Xu shook her head and said, "My aunts have lived overseas for years, seldom returning home. I’ve met them once as a child. It’s wonderful for you to punish these vampires. Over the years, countless innocents have suffered because of them. Though my classmate was transformed into a vampire against her will, she hasn’t committed any wrongdoing. May I ask if you could return her... head to me?"
"This?"
Li Mumu raised her hand, plucking a girl’s head from the Red String.
A vampire’s life force is immensely tenacious; unless killed by silver weapons, they can survive even decapitation. But once Li Mumu removed the Red String, all heads turned into billowing smoke before hitting the ground, burning to ashes in no time.
The blazing sun and bright daylight, bereft of mystical protection, were the most terrifying Hell for vampires.
As for the head in Li Mumu’s hand, she examined it closely.
It was quite lovely, pitifully endearing.
The sins weren’t severe, but the karma with the Yang Family girl was... intriguing.
Li Mumu knew the truth but remained silent.
"Thank you."
Yang Xu hurriedly took the head, wrapping it in her coat.
"No problem, just a trifling act. No need to call me ’senior’; I’m no ancient monster."
It was literally a trifling act.
Seeing Yang Xu had some knowledge of the Guiding Bodhisattva, Li Mumu inquired directly: "Yang Xu, since you know the origins of the Guiding Bodhisattva, do you have any news about the whereabouts of my three senior sisters?"
"Well..."
Yang Xu exchanged a glance with Yin Nan, showing subtle expressions.
Oh?
Could there be an unspoken story behind this?
Yin Nan coughed and said, "Sister Chu, let’s talk about this back home."
"Not convenient to talk here?"
Li Mumu looked around; the rescued survivors were resting, still in shock among the ruins, without anyone approaching.
"It’s not about inconvenience... it’s mainly about not knowing how to explain."
For the first time, Yin Nan felt tongue-tied, primarily due to the matter exceeding his comprehension.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xu boldly explained while clutching her friend’s head, "Senior... Chu, Mr. Yin informed me that you’ve recently arrived in Xiangjiang, not yet familiar with the situation here. To be frank, even as a local, I’ve only come to understand some things recently."
Had she not gotten involved in this absurd affair, she would have never known the secrets.
"Do you know that these vampires are actually from the Kuldra Family? This chaos resulted from discord between factions within their family."
"I really didn’t know."
Li Mumu thought she had no means to fathom their aristocratic strife.
"The Kuldra Family has resided in Xiangjiang for a century, with their Family Head, Mason von Kuldra, said to be a blood clan Prince, a thousand years old, who fell into sleep thirty years ago, now poised to awaken. Until now, his daughter Mei La has been in charge. She came here previously, trying to mediate the factions, but ultimately..."
Yang Xu paused in silence.
"She took my brother away."
...
It’s not the type of plot I’m imagining, right?
Li Mumu internally scoffed.
A thousand-year-old cucumber attracted to a young pup?
Yang Xu nodded emphatically.
Exactly, that’s precisely what I’m trying to convey.
As fellow women, there’s nothing we can’t comprehend.
"So... how does it relate to my three senior sisters?"
"Though lacking substantial evidence, from my previous information, Mei La seemed to be on friendly terms with the three red-clad seniors."
At this moment, Yang Xu applied her genius detective logic, inferring a shocking conclusion from existing clues.
"I overheard in their private discussions; someone accused Mei La of using external forces against her father with ulterior motives. While there’s no basis, I think it’s linked to the three vanished seniors."
The matter became increasingly convoluted.
But it didn’t matter.
Li Mumu now possesses the strength to simplify complex issues and the willingness to be an observer.
"Do you know where the Kuldra Family headquarters is?"
"I might have a guess."
"Lead the way!"
