The Bet

Chapter 76 The Bet

The proprietress was taken aback; this reaction was different from what she had expected.

She didn't think Lu Li would fly into a rage or show his face directly.

According to her guess, Lu Li would probably open the dream world directly and then secretly ambush her.

She could pretend to be infected first, and then give Lu Li a big surprise when he was relaxed.

Then, when Lu Li was in despair, he offered his terms with an invincible attitude.

Then it's that set.

He fled.

She chased after him.

He has no way to escape.

She never expected that Lu Li would do things differently!

This really embarrassed her.

"What are the conditions?"

As she asked the question, she secretly glanced at Ji Mo, who was sitting to the side pretending to be innocent.

Ji Mo blinked her big eyes, then turned her head away nonchalantly, her face filled with a mixture of fear, surprise, and worry as she looked at Lu Li.

The proprietress: "."

That old hag who tries to act young! No wonder she has no friends!

"What a hassle," the landlady sighed inwardly. "What conditions are we talking about, young man? Do you think you have the leverage to negotiate with me right now?"

"For us monsters, we just need to take whatever we want."

"So what do you want?" Lu Li appeared very relaxed. "By the way, monster sister, what's your name?"

Although Lu Li appeared relaxed, the landlady was no ordinary person.

She could tell at a glance that Lu Li's whole body was tense.

He doesn't seem as relaxed as he appears on the surface.

Feeling reassured, the proprietress decided to continue acting according to the script.

"My name? You already knew it."

"I knew it all along."

Lu Li was filled with surprise and doubt, and for the first time seriously examined the woman opposite him.

She wore a white ancient costume embroidered with gold thread underneath, and a black fur cloak on top. Her long black hair was tied in a high ponytail at the back of her head.

His facial features are very three-dimensional, and his appearance is beyond the limits of human potential.

But why does he look a bit like Ji Mo?

This is certainly not what the proprietress originally looked like.

Or rather, it's all about appearance and such, but not the face.

After all, I'm playing the role of Ji Mo, so my face naturally needs to be disguised to resemble hers.

Moreover, she didn't want Lu Li to see her real appearance.

Putting aside her various thoughts, Lu Li certainly had a lot on his mind at the moment.

She said I already knew?

Then look at this face that is very similar to Ji Mo's, and combine it with Ji Mo's "lone star" attribute and the ability descriptions seen on the dating app.

"You are the real Ji Mo?!"

"You could say that."

The proprietress smiled, then turned her head to Ji Mo on the ground and raised her fair chin. "She is just a part of my consciousness. I originally sent her to check on your situation, but I didn't expect her to develop self-awareness."

"But it doesn't matter. As long as I take back this clone, that part of the memory will naturally return."

Lu Li frowned. "What will happen to her?"

"What will happen?" The proprietress almost laughed. "She was just an avatar, so naturally she'll return to her original form."

Lu Li glanced at Ji Mo sitting on the ground.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she bit her lower lip tightly. Through her blurry, tearful eyes, there was apology for the concealment, regret for the imminent end of her life, reluctance to leave this world, and longing for Lu Li.

"I'm sorry, Brother Lu Li."

Lu Li understood everything now.

Why is she so obsessed with herself, and why has she been willing to give herself to him from the very beginning?

Because she came specifically to find him.

Why didn't she react at all to the fact that she used supernatural powers?

Even though several people died in front of her, she didn't react much except for turning a little pale.

Lu Li thought it was because she was a "lone star" and had experienced too much, but in reality, she already knew about extraordinary powers.

Why would she have feelings for him?

Yes, according to her own account, she developed self-awareness.

When did self-awareness arise?

Lu Li thought of what he had said to her yesterday.

"If fate truly exists in this world, then let's smash this bullshit fate!"

She and Miss Bai's alter egos are different.

Each of Miss Bai's clones is controlled by her own main consciousness.

But Ji Mo.

After she awakened to self-awareness, she was no longer a so-called clone.

She is a human being!

Lu Li looked at the proprietress again, "Miss Ji, what will it take for you to let her go?"

"What should we do?"

The proprietress tapped her chin lightly with her finger, seemingly deep in thought.

But she kept glancing at Ji Mo out of the corner of her eye.

Yes! What exactly do you want? Give me some news!

You old hag pretending to be young!

However, Ji Mo had completely transformed into a fangirl with overflowing girlish heart, her teary eyes only seeing Lu Li.

She stared at Lu Li intently, like a little fangirl.

"Lu Li looks so handsome when he works hard for me."

The proprietress: "."

Making money is so hard!

I can only rely on myself now.

She looked at Lu Li with a half-smile on her face, "Mr. Lu, if you can give in to me, I might consider letting her go."

Lu Li was taken aback at first, then his expression turned serious. "That's no problem, but..."

"But what?"

"However, I'm afraid my girlfriend will be angry. You may have heard of them, Ms. Ji."

"oh--?"

Ji Mo drawled, "So, how many girlfriends do you actually have?"

Lu Li remained calm and collected, acting like a fox borrowing the tiger's might and a dog relying on its master's power. "My first girlfriend was named Bai Muli. She fought countless battles in her life and had billions of clones! She could be an army of billions on her own!"

"My second girlfriend is named Luo Qianning. She can change the rules of things and make everything fall!"

"My third girlfriend is named Huai Xu. She is the supreme ruler of the underworld, the lord of all spirits! With just a thought, she can bring all things back to life!"

The proprietress: "."

Ji Mo: "."

Do you think you're Tang Sanzang?

Why are you suddenly feeling proud?

What, is your girlfriend the Monkey King? Did she cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago?

You might as well change your name to Lu Sanzang.

Not only were the two female monsters silent, but even Xing Tian, ​​who was lying on the ground in the "Don't stop" and "Yamcha die" poses, twitched.

As expected of you, Lu Li.

The proprietress was helpless, but she had to keep up the act. "I'm not afraid of them."

Then she changed the subject, "But I can give you a chance."

Her eyes darted around, and a plan formed in her mind. "I'll take her to a place, and your luck will get worse and worse over the next four days. If you can come to me within four days, I'll let her go."

Lu Li shook his head. "That's unreasonable. What if you end up sleeping with her halfway through? If she's no longer the same person by then, I won't even know. I'd rather just break up with her."

He now has a little bit of confidence.

First, judging from her reaction, this Miss Ji Mo does indeed know Miss Bai and the other two, and she is indeed somewhat wary of them.

Secondly, since she wanted to go on a blind date with him, her real purpose was still for him.

Therefore, one's own attitude is also very important.

Sure enough, the landlady changed her terms, "Then you come with me, and she'll come find you. As long as she can within these four days..."

"She's just an ordinary person, she couldn't possibly do something like that," Lu Li denied the condition again.

"Once, twice, but not a third time, so there's only one last condition," the proprietress said. "Both of you come with me, and you'll stay with me for the next four days. If you can keep your body intact, then I'll admit defeat."

Lu Li was taken aback. Was she planning to seduce him, Lu Li?

Am I, Lu, destined to be laid out like a '奆' and slaughtered at will?

He recalled the dream he had last night and suddenly shivered.

"No way! I, Lu, also have my bottom line! Besides, this is just a blind date, not a hookup! I value spiritual connection more than physical pleasure."

Of course, physical pleasure is equally important.

But Lu Li isn't a rotten pair of pants.

He just doesn't object to having a harem, but he has no intention of becoming a stud!

The proprietress spread her hands. "This won't work, that won't work, so what do you suggest? You can't fight back against me. I'm already being kind enough by politely discussing terms with you. Mr. Lu, don't mistake my kindness for an excuse to take advantage of me."

"It's not that bad." Cold sweat broke out on Lu Li's forehead.

He understood this as well.

However, he wasn't without other tricks.

Lu Li pointed at Xing Tian on the ground, "Here's what we'll do: you capture him, and I'll definitely come to rescue him within four days! You know, he's like a brother to me, practically a blood brother! As long as you capture him, I'll definitely come looking for you!"

His face was full of honesty and sincerity. "Miss Ji, you have to believe me!"

The proprietress: "."

She had never seen such a shameless person!

Are they still as close as brothers?

Why didn't you come when I left you a letter this morning?

Xing Tian, ​​who had already woken up on the ground but was pretending to be dead, could no longer hold back.

He darted to Lu Li's side with a swift movement, as if facing a formidable enemy. "Brother Li, don't worry! I'll protect you two every step of the way!"

Lu Li: "."

So you were just faking your death!

As expected, the Descendants have absolutely no bottom line.
