Chapter 8 This Damn Feudal Superstition
Li Shouling returned to his room in the restaurant.

He leaned against the window and looked at the claw glove on his right hand.

When I first used this claw cover to hold chopsticks, I wasn't used to it.

But it only took a few seconds to hold it firmly.

It seems that the power of immortality brings far more than just an improvement in strength reaction.

Li Shouling just leaned against the window, in a daze.

When I was bored, I suddenly thought of the novels I read before.

Theoretically, if we all have immortal powers, then shouldn’t we be able to practice?
So Li Shouling began to try to circulate his immortal power.

All night long, he used up his spiritual energy, recovered it, and then used it up again.

An extremely boring night passed.

The vortex of immortal power still lasted for three cycles, and there was no increase at all.

The only change is that the recovery speed seems to be a little faster.

But because the change is so small, it is impossible to determine whether it is really faster or an illusion.

It was daybreak and everyone was feeling very sleepy.

I have to say, it’s good to be young. You can work hard when you want and sleep when you want.

When I opened my eyes again.

It's a strange ceiling.

I walked to the window and looked at the sky.

His big eyes were wide open.

This means it is noon.

When Li Shouling went out, he saw someone running out.

Soon the old village chief with a walking stick came over.

"How was your rest, Immortal?"

Li Shouling twisted his slightly stiff neck and said, "Normally."

He got a stiff neck from sleeping on the straw mats in the cave, so God knows what’s wrong with the beds in this restaurant.

He even lived in a superior room.

The old village chief forced himself into an awkward and slightly rude smile.

"Then... may I ask, Immortal, did you hear any noise last night?"

Li Shouling shook his head.

"Are you hungry now? Do you want to eat something?"

I'm really hungry.

"Well, I just woke up, so just make some porridge."

After waiting for a while, a bowl of vegetable porridge was served.

The waiter put the porridge down and spoke with a look of seeking credit.

"Look, Immortal, I asked the kitchen to add a whole head of green vegetable! It's guaranteed to be tasty!"

Li Shouling: ...

What should I say?
A few words of praise?
There are too many things I want to complain about but I can’t say enough…

So he just nodded calmly.

The waiter felt a little disappointed when he saw that there was no change in his expression.

But when I thought that he was an immortal, I didn’t think too much about it.

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped again.

"The waiter."

"Speak, Immortal!"

"I want to ask, if the rat bride predicted by the fortune teller is not dead yet, how can we carry out the ghost marriage?"

The waiter scratched his head and said, "It's not like I was looking for someone to die."

Li Shouling was stunned.

The waiter continued to explain.

"As for this rat bride, we need to find a living person."

"At midnight, the cheeks are cut, the tongue is trimmed, and the teeth are pierced with nails."

"Then tie the person up and pierce the coccyx with a spike tied to a specially made horsetail. Wait until the blood runs out and the breathing stops, and then worship with the giant paper rat."

"If the paper mouse burns automatically, it means the mouse fairy has accepted the girl and the epidemic will end."

"It's a pity that it didn't catch fire this time, so the rat bride became an abandoned rat woman, causing harm to the people."

"I heard that it was because Zhang Pandi was unfaithful to her husband and lost her virginity prematurely that made Huixian unhappy!"

"Well, she had a good time in bed, but we have to do it for her..."

He kept muttering, not noticing that Li Shouling's face was becoming increasingly grim.

Until there was a snap.

The chopsticks in Li Shouling's hand were broken.

The waiter looked at his claws, which shone with a cold light, and shuddered.

After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, he asked the waiter a question.

"Does it have to be a human sacrifice?"

"Yes, but this is not a sacrifice, this is a ghost marriage, or marrying an immortal, it is a grand wedding."

"It's a ghost marriage, why make it so cruel?"

"Because there are differences between humans and mice, the girl who marries must be made to look like the Gray Fairy."

"The way the Gray Fairy likes it? How do you know the Gray Fairy likes it?"

"That's what Mi Po said, and it has been useful all along, which shows that the Gray Fairy really likes it."

Li Shouling picked up another pair of chopsticks and started to stir the porridge.

"Then let me ask you, if I cut off the tail and ears of a rat and shaved its nose to make it look like a human, would you want to sleep with it?"

The waiter thought about it for a moment, suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, and quickly shook his head.

"So you see, you find it disgusting, so why does the Gray Fairy like it?" This stunned the waiter.

He looked like his worldview was shattered, and he stood there blankly with his mouth slightly open.

Li Shouling ate the porridge, cursed in his heart, and then sighed that this was indeed feudal superstition.

During dinner, those people came over with flattering faces to toast.

Looking at their greedy and disgusting appearance, and then thinking about what they did to the girl before the ghost marriage.

Li Shouling had the urge to kill them all.

But considering his master's instructions, he endured it.

He tried to tell himself that ignorance was not the people's fault, it was...

Halfway through comforting himself, he suddenly couldn't continue.

Because those people who were toasting were so noisy.

He suddenly looked up at them and said a word lightly.

"roll!"

The villagers were stunned.

The next moment they fled in all directions.

They didn't even bother to have the rare vegetables and rice and ran straight back home.

It seems that he is afraid of displeasing the immortal and bringing bad luck upon himself.

Although everyone had left, Li Shouling had no appetite anymore.

He stood up and bowed to the air around him.

"I have no appetite. I'll go back first. Senior Brother Shengyao, please eat slowly."

After saying that, he turned and left, completely ignoring the village chief and others.

Everyone at the table looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassment and fear.

He left the ancestral temple angrily, and just as he was about to go back, he saw the little girl again.

When she saw Li Shouling coming out, she trotted over happily and spread her hands.

"Give!"

It's that sugar again.

Li Shouling acted very happy.

"Is it really okay?"

The little girl grinned and nodded.

The cute look made Li Shouling's previous annoyance disappear.

Take the candy and put it in your mouth.

I seemed to have adapted a little this time. It was still very nauseating, but at least I didn't feel like retching.

"Really delicious!"

"By the way, little girl, you treated me to candy twice, but I haven't asked your name yet."

The little girl put her hands behind her back, lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and swayed her body slightly as she gave her name.

"My little girl is Zhang Yaya, you can just call me Yaya, Immortal Brother."

When he heard Yaya calling him brother, his mood instantly became ten times better.

As for the word "immortal", it was automatically ignored.

"Okay, Yaya is so good. How old are you this year?"

"Yaya is seven years old this year~"

"What about your family? Why have you been alone these past two days?"

Yaya’s little mouth pouted.

"Only Yaya is left..."

"My parents passed away early, and it was just me and my sister, but..."

She looked like she was about to cry.

"My sister..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly burst into tears.

Only Li Shouling was left confused.

There was nothing unusual that night.

On the third day, the process was the same as before.

Just have a quick bite for lunch and then wait until dinner to have a good meal.

But this time, those people were not tactful enough to come up and make a wish.

After eating a few bites, he went out to look for Yaya with great anticipation.

Li Shouling hopes to have more conversation with Yaya today.

A man who always wanted a younger sister but could never get his hands on a little girl.

Yaya’s appearance made him so happy.

However, what surprised him was that there was no one outside the ancestral temple this time.

I looked for it, but found no trace.

It seems that Yaya is really not here today.

Today is another boring night.

The next morning, looking at the village becoming increasingly populated, Li Shouling decided to go out for a walk.

The villagers along the way greeted him politely.

As we walked, we passed by a breakfast shop set up in a small shed.

Li Shouling saw a familiar figure, it was Yaya.

He was about to say hello, but found...

Shocking bruises covered Yaya’s face and exposed arms!
