Xiaobai's Love in Another World

Chapter 455 Skeleton Man

Everyone says she's dead.

Seeing that they seemed unaware of the situation, it was best not to tell them.

"I just look a bit like her."

The tears in Aci's dark-faced eyes stopped abruptly. "How can it only look a little like it? It's completely identical! Besides, you even know how to use this thing that was left behind."

Knowing how to use the Liu Qingling was purely coincidental, and no matter how much she resembled that person, she was still just herself.

"Well, that's a long story. I know I heard the incantation for using it by chance, and some people have indeed mistaken me for her along the way, but I'm really not her. My real name is Bai Lingshan, and I'm a human who has lived in the human realm for seventeen years. I use the name Ruo here because I'm afraid they'll find out."

"Is that so..."

"Ah."

The black-faced and white-faced men were still stunned, but the guy on the ground weakly raised his hand as if he had something to ask.

"Um... could you let me leave first? I seem to be getting in the way of your private conversation..."

Upon hearing this, the dark-faced man kicked him again.

"Then why don't you get out of here right now!"

"Alright! I'll be right there!"

The young man braced himself with both hands, kicked off with his legs, and in a flash, he turned into a horse-drawn cartwheel and rolled away.

Everyone was stunned.

"Damn, it really knows how to roll."

Blackface has a strong learning ability; he can perfectly capture the nuances of swearing.

However, there might be another one here. After searching through the scattered bones, the group finally found the only skull that was moving.

The skull was hiding in the shards of the bowl they had kicked over, but it was too white to be of much use even with careful concealment.

"What are you doing? Repenting?" asked the dark-faced Ah Ci.

The skull didn't dare look over, only hearing the constant clanging of two rows of teeth. "I...I didn't mean to stay here, I...I'm just too scattered, I can't come together."

He is indeed pitiful. Everyone else finds the right opportunity to escape, but he can't. His old bones are scattered all over the ground, and he still needs someone to help him.

"Alright, sweep it up in a bit, divide it into five parts, put one in the far east, one in the far west, one in the far south, and one in the far north, so you'll never have to leave this place!"

"Then..." the skull looked at him pitifully, "There's... there's one more?"

There's one more!

The two men, with perfect coordination, picked up the skull that was looking at them and placed it on the counter.

"Your head will remain here as our prized possession! Only then will our Head Inn truly live up to its name!"

"Ah!? No!"

The skull let out a sad sob.

The inn, guarded by a human head, is plagued by bad weather and misfortune, and this human head seems to be the inn's destiny.

Bai Lingshan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then picked up the broom standing in the corner. "Let's just let him go. He's just skin and bones and he's still out working. It's not easy for him."

The skull seemed to see a ray of light shining into the darkness. "Yeah...yes, please spare me! It's so embarrassing to have me here, it'll affect business! If you piece me together, I can work here as a free waiter for life!"

The two, one with a dark face and the other with a light face, exchanged a glance.

I only said that to scare him; I still can't bring myself to actually make them do that bad thing.

"You're exempt from being a waiter. I'll let you go this time, but find a proper job from now on and don't go around bullying people again!"

At this moment, Bai Lingshan had already swept the broken bones on the ground into a pile.

After the skull fell into the pile of parts, it immediately reverted to a complete skeleton.

When Bai Lingshan was learning to draw, she often studied the structure and location of human bones. In addition to finding pictures online, she also bought a skeleton model.

Unexpectedly, after she came into contact with the Book of Fallen Feathers, she was able to see a living one.

But it remained standing there, showing no sign of leaving.

Dark-faced frowned. "Get out of here before we change our minds! What are you standing around for!"

The skeletal frame suddenly lowered its head, its ten finger bones rubbing back and forth along the spine. This...
There's a strange sense of déjà vu about this.

Dark-faced A-Ci's lips twitched. "What are you doing? Don't make these weird moves. I don't understand them."

After waiting quietly for several tens of seconds, it finally let out a sweet, delicate sound.

She is delicate and charming.

"How about... you consider taking me in? Only Brother Lou has the pass to get here. I can't get out on my own."

"..."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, and the dark-faced Ah Ci was speechless.

The skeleton raised its skull again and placed its clenched bone hands in front of its ribs.

"I...! I'm very hardworking! And I'm in great health! I won't fall apart easily unless something unexpected happens! Please! Don't let me end up as a skeleton in the wilderness!"

"..."

Everyone remained silent.

After a moment, Bai Lingshan sighed, "I have a pass, I'll just send you out."

The human skeleton was such good material for her, but it just so happened to be alive. She kept staring at it, observing the movement of each of its bones, which seemed rather perverse.

"Really...really?"

The light that pierced the darkness within the Bone Man reached its peak, and faintly, one could see that all the bones on its body were glowing. "You are truly a great person!"

"……Um."

She looked back at the black and white face, "Then I'll go see him off first."

"Yes! Be careful on your way, Miss Aruo!"

"Wait a minute!" Pale-faced Ah Tao suddenly looked worried. "Your ring was taken by that Lou guy. Will you be in trouble?"

She hadn't expected anyone to ask that, and her eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly recovered. "Don't worry, it's nothing."

"Alright! But be careful, it might be a trap!"

"……it is good."

The skeleton remained silent throughout, making no further physical movements, as if simply waiting for them to leave.

"Master, what about me? Should I go with you?"

As soon as they stepped outside, Jingying stopped.

Seeing that she didn't want to take another step, Bai Lingshan couldn't force her to follow.

"You help them tidy up the inn. I'll call you if I need anything."

"it is good!"

……

Along the way, the skeleton kept looking around.

Since leaving the human world, she had thought about being with all sorts of people, but she never imagined that the other person would be a "material".

She stole glances at it again and again.

From top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.

For a fleeting moment, their eyes met.

Bai Lingshan was so nervous that she turned her head to the other side.

The man's jawbone thus opened:

"Actually, I was all alone when I left. You saved me despite our past grievances, so why don't I follow you from now on?"

Bai Lingshan was startled by these words, "Don't talk to me, why are you talking to me..."

The skeletal man immediately explained, "I know what you're worried about. I do have a body, it's just been smashed. I just need some time to grow a new one! And I can even grow back the way you like!"

"..." She glanced at him again only because he was a skeleton, but his claim that he could grow a skin that looked the way he wanted successfully piqued her curiosity.

"Really?" she asked softly, glancing around to make sure no one was watching.
