Xiaobai's Love in Another World

Chapter 456 A joke went too far.
"Really!" The skeleton's skull nodded sharply, almost breaking at the point where the cervical vertebrae connected to the skull.

"Hehe, now that I'm not in a physical body, I can't do any big movements. But as long as you put your hand on the top of my skull, I'll know what your favorite male character looks like!"

"..." He still prefers the male look.

When Bai Lingshan looked at it again, she actually pictured someone's image in it. But then a sudden gust of demonic wind slapped her face, instantly turning the person she had just imagined into a skeleton.

"It should take about ten days. Actually, ten days will pass quickly. By then, with my new body, I can go back to the human world with you!"

The skull is tilted slightly back, with the tip of the index finger touching the jawbone, as if it is thinking.

The next second, it jumped in front of her, and their heads almost touched.

"Quick! Holder! Pat my head! I'm yours now!"

The entire skull was filled with anticipation.

If she raises her hand at this moment, it can immediately place the top of its head into her palm.

Bai Lingshan paused for a few seconds before her straight brows furrowed slightly. "No need,"

After saying that, she turned and walked away from the skeletal figure that had suddenly approached her.

Why?!

"No reason."

Besides, she didn't like the idea of ​​a replacement in the first place, and this person's background was unknown, so it was better to separate sooner rather than later.

The boundary of the dark area is not far away; there are only a few minutes left before we have to get rid of it.

"The holder~"

At this moment, it not only stayed close to her and walked alongside her, but also stared straight at her with the two eye holes on its skull.

When Bai Lingshan glanced at it, she felt a chill on her back.

"Look ahead, don't look at me."

"I'm serious! Please consider me carefully!"

After saying those words, she noticeably quickened her pace, but the skeleton insisted on staying in the same line as her.

She stopped there, feeling that she needed to maintain her fierce persona.

With a smirk, she gave him a malicious smile, "But I can consider putting your head back in the Head Inn as its prized possession."

"...Ah, I don't want to."

Sure enough, with this enhancement, the skeleton man's previous fear reappeared.

"Very good, that's the effect." Her smile faded, leaving only ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Then I'll send you out."

“…Ugh.”

After that, it became exceptionally well-behaved, and you couldn't even hear its footsteps when it wasn't looking at him.

The person crossing the boundary of the dark area needs to hold a pass, but she only has one, so she won't let it take it out on its own and then return it.

She values ​​the saying, "You can know a person's bones but not their heart."

So she grabbed its wrist bone and pulled it out of the white light wall.

He let go, turned his head, and returned to the white light wall, his face expressionless.

I only glanced at it out of the corner of my eye halfway through, and it was so frightened that it clutched its skull with its hands.

"gone."

She had just set off when she heard the skeleton shout, "Holder! Aren't you really going to consider me? I'm perfect! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"..."

Bai Lingshan suddenly fell silent.

An uncontrollable feeling of disgust arose in my heart, as if it were the second time since the Miao Qi incident.

"Really?" she countered. "That's true. If you miss this store today, you won't be able to be the mascot anymore."

An invisible pressure made the skeletal man tremble in fear.

"you……"

"I?"

Without further ado, she struck while the iron was hot. A heat emanated from her left ear, and half of the Willow Leaf Demon Blade in its original form fell into her right hand. Her eyes turned green, and strange decorations appeared between her brows and above her left ear. With each step she took forward, the oppressive atmosphere around her doubled.

"Didn't you tell me to think it over? Now I've decided, I'm going to take your skull."

The skeletal man visibly jumped back, his two skeletal feet hopping backward in tiny steps. "I...I was wrong, please forgive my rudeness! You should go back now!"

"Let you go?" She was having such a good time acting, why would she want to end it? "You think I'd let you go? Impossible!"

As she spoke, she charged toward it, while the skeleton took off running.

As it turns out, old bones are still old bones; he broke his back after running only a few steps.

In that instant, all the bones scattered on the ground, and the skull cried out loudly on the ground.

"Mommy! Mommy, save me! Mommy!! Ah! Waaaaaah!!"

"!"

Bai Lingshan immediately steadied herself, almost stepping into a pile of bones.

The wind was unexpectedly strong, blowing those small parts all over the ground.

After a helpless sigh, he realized that the joke might have gone too far.

The green eyes faded, and the knife in her hand, along with the extra part of her that didn't belong to her, disappeared. Bai Lingshan bent down and picked up the small bone at her feet.

As she approached it, the skull's cries grew louder.

"Ah! Help!"

"Stop yelling! If you fall apart, I'll help you put it back together."

She caused the trouble, so naturally she has to clean it up.

She crouched down and carefully pieced the scattered bones together, which brought him back to life.

"Are you that fragile?" Bai Lingshan looked at it in disbelief. She thought it would only fall apart if it was attacked.

The skeletal figure lowered its head and spoke in a low voice, "Without a physical body, this is how it is; it's very easy for it to fall apart."

"I think even if you have a pretty face, you'll fall apart easily."

The skeleton felt even more aggrieved, as his jawbone was covered with his cervical spine.

"That's why I want you to take me in. I heard from them that the holder is very strong and is a woman. If I follow you, even if I fall apart, you will protect me."

"..." Bai Lingshan fell silent again.

So that's what it was thinking. I misunderstood it earlier.

She was about to apologize when she changed her mind, because what it said was so easily misunderstood.

She looked into the distance.

The road ahead is unknown, the external environment is dangerous, and the guy who came with him has also abandoned him. Without companions to take care of him, how long can he survive with only a skeleton that could fall apart at any moment?

After careful consideration, I decided to let it return to the inn to rest and recuperate.

"You'll be fine once you grow a new skin, right? Just ten days?"

The skeletal man nodded weakly.

"Alright then, you can come back to the inn with me and wait until you grow a new skin before you leave."

The skeleton was taken aback: "You're not going to trick me into going back to be your mascot, are you?"

Bai Lingshan could only put on a smile that left it bewildered, "As long as you leave obediently in ten days, it won't happen."

“Oh,” the skeleton said in an honest and simple voice, “I will be good then, but I don’t have any magic crystals to stay at the hotel.”

"I have it, so you just need to stay put."

"The holder, you are so kind..."

If she leaves safely after ten days and then encounters trouble again, then it will have nothing to do with her anymore.

They returned to the inn in silence. However, as they stepped into the inn, the sight of the skeleton woman appearing alongside her shocked everyone.

The black-and-white-faced boss suddenly slipped out from behind the counter.

"What happened? Why are you back again!"

"Yeah! You're back again!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on its face, and it shyly hid behind Bai Lingshan.
