Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 971 - 38

Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu are quite adept at using work as an excuse to date.

The main reason is that, since the beginning of the year, the market has been unusually peaceful.

It’s not that there are no problems; if you want to advance, work is never-ending.

But there hasn’t been any huge trouble requiring Wang Yunxiao and his brothers to step in for solutions.

There are no big troubles, but small, nitty-gritty ones are ongoing.

Like the collusion between the Mu Family and the Cuojin Sect, the shady accounts of the Extensive Knowledge Society, and the various strange tales Uesugi Risa found via her notebook.

These are all small issues.

You can’t always hope for sensational news, invincible today, enemies from above tomorrow...

Not only can’t allies handle it; even enemies can’t take it.

Mephisto has played all the cards in his hand and could only tuck his tail and flee. Even if you let him take on two jobs a day and sell blood at night, there’s nothing left to squeeze out of him.

In the evening, Wang Yunxiao hosted a dinner, inviting Uesugi Risa and Madam Cui with her daughter to dine and watch opera on Nanshi Main Street.

The meal was small dishes from Huibin Restaurant, and the show was "Mulan Becomes a Soldier" performed by a Southern opera troupe.

The most abundant on Nanshi Main Street are restaurants, followed by opera houses. After vice activities like gambling and drugs faded in the old society, these two industries practically sustained the nightlife of Old Tianmen People.

Tianmen People are particularly picky about operas. True veteran fans only recognize the troupe leader, not the opera. If the leader doesn’t come out to sing, the fans will cause a scene, potentially even overturning the stage for you.

But there is an exception, which is being extra lenient with a certain category of repertoire.

Like stories of Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, Bai Suzhen...

All are disciples of Li Shan Laomu.

Like a certain People’s Teacher, Master Ghost Valley, who prefers to remain anonymous, Li Shan Laomu also frequently appears as a teaching background in storytelling scripts. Famous historical female generals and female demons mostly come from her tutelage.

For reasons everyone understands, this type of repertoire has a substantial audience in Tianmen.

Real opera shows aren’t like the New Year’s Gala, where someone occasionally sings two lines. That’s a collection of classic segments.

Show after show, singing late into the night is usual.

Wang Yunxiao’s invitation this time seems to be taking the widow Cui out, publicly declaring sovereignty, to prevent certain humanoid creatures from spontaneously coming up with some brilliant genius idea.

Privately, it’s taking Uesugi Risa to seek out the strange, seeing if her unique constitution can lure out those so-called strange tales.

In reality, it’s finding a reason to date Li Mumu.

Dating doesn’t necessarily have to be two people alone.

The key is not having super light bulbs like Shen Qingxi next to you, constantly thinking about how to mess things up.

Having a foodie like Uesugi Risa focused only on food, and a quiet pair like the Cui duo who don’t like to speak much, makes for a much more comfortable meal.

Cui Xiaoying is very observant, toasting while saying things Wang Yunxiao likes to hear.

"Back when that master from the Incense burner sect came to cause trouble, Miss Li came along to support, and I thought you two were quite a match. But as a woman, I didn’t dare say random things. Who would’ve thought you’d actually come together now?"

"Miss Li has good taste. The Wang brothers are famously heroic figures in our area, and the locals secretly say that if not for the Wang brothers holding down this area, who knows how much we would suffer. It wasn’t like now in the past — those street loafers bullied more and were especially mean to those honest..."

"Last year, there was much care from the Wang brothers; the area in front of our home became much calmer. This is the Wang brothers pitying us widowed women and showing mercy, even enduring damage to their reputation to shield us from undesirable people. As for those gossiping long-tongued women, Miss Li, you mustn’t believe them. Earlier, many neighbors were keen to marry their daughters to the Wang brothers, but their standards are high. If not for a family lady like Miss Li, they wouldn’t even consider it..."

Every word warmed Wang Yunxiao’s heart.

The money spent on this dinner was well worth it.

Li Mumu’s eyes turned into crescent moons from smiling, clearly enjoying the flattery.

Uesugi Risa had no interest in the matters between the two, having considered them a couple since first meeting Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu.

Her entire focus was on the delicacies before her, tortuously deciding between eating or not eating.

Meanwhile, Meng Wei ate silently without saying a word.

The threat from the little widow could be ruled out...what nonsense!

Li Mumu may smile, but she quietly raised her guard against Cui Xiaoying.

This is an "ideal wife" type of sister.

Many men claim to prefer lolis, but actually have no feelings when seeing real-life ones.

They say they don’t like older ones, yet have no resistance against married women.

Cui Xiaoying belongs to the "passive" ideal wife type.

She won’t claim to like you verbally, but will care for every aspect of your life intimately.

Men easily become immersed in this comfort zone.

Leaving it makes them uncomfortable and unwell.

Once you pursue her back, you’ll find no difficulty, as she would pamper you like a son.

Wang Yunxiao indeed had no personal ties with Cui Xiaoying in the past.

But now he’s accustomed to treating Cui Xiaoying as family.

Li Mumu, when caught a cold from dorm room chills, was sent to Cui Xiaoying for a heated bed.

Uesugi Risa, lacking a place to live, was sent to Cui Xiaoying to stay until now.

Now, you even put on a family-member face, praising him this and that in front of me.

Do you think I’m a fool?

After the meal, they went to the opera house to watch the show, with Cui Xiaoying naturally holding Meng Wei’s hand, following behind Wang Yunxiao.

Li Mumu felt the annoyance like a thorn in her back.

Yet, she couldn’t easily speak.

With the lack of obvious moves, countering her harshly would just portray oneself as overly critical.

Just as they arrived at the opera house entrance, they heard a commotion inside, feeling something abnormal.

Someone then ran out from inside, shouting, "Someone’s dead! Someone’s dead!"

Wang Yunxiao froze in place, thinking to himself if he’s Conan? No...it’s not my issue. Uesugi Risa, is it you with the legendary Conan effect, causing trouble wherever you go?

As he was about to go inside for a look, another person rushed out yelling, "The dead is alive! The dead is alive again!"

When death was mentioned earlier, people didn’t show much concern.

What’s there to panic over a death? During troubled times years back, wasn’t it common to see bodies on the streets?

But at the news of the dead coming back to life, everyone’s Eight Trigram enthusiasm surged instantly.

The opera house entrance was soon crowded with people.
