Chapter 13: Are you cosplaying?
Another thing is that Luo Qing has started to be afraid of light.
She used to be able to do whatever she wanted under the blazing sun, but now she has to wear sunglasses when she goes out, otherwise her eyes will hurt so much she can't open them.
The sun made her feel a little uncomfortable; it was too bright and glaring, but it didn't affect her activities.
But she was so hungry that she didn't go to school. After telling her mother to ask for leave, she continued to eat like crazy.
After eating until she was tired and lying in bed, she could feel the movement in her belly becoming more and more obvious.
Sometimes it's a gentle tap, sometimes several taps in a row, like turning over or stretching.
She searched online for "something moving in my stomach after losing weight," and the results were either things like "normal bowel movements" or "it might be gas," or they said she had cancer and wouldn't live much longer.
"What utter nonsense! It's either nothing at all or cancer!"
Luo Qing was so angry that she immediately closed the webpage and rubbed her stomach.
"Could she be pregnant? But I've never done 'that' before..."
She muttered to herself, turned over, and pulled the blanket over her head.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on her arm that was exposed outside the blanket.
The bluish-gray patterns gleamed faintly in the moonlight, like a spider web, spreading from the wrist all the way to the elbow.
After seeing her daughter eat and drink excessively all day, Luo Qing's mother, Lu Lan, became somewhat worried and asked her several times, but was told that nothing was wrong.
"How can someone eat so much and lose weight so quickly...?"
Lu Lan came out of Luo Qing's room, looking somewhat absent-minded.
I've been busy these days negotiating with Luo Qing's teacher and haven't paid much attention to my daughter.
Now it seems that my daughter has changed a lot; she has visibly lost a lot of weight.
"Is that miracle drug really that effective?"
Lu Lan was somewhat skeptical, but the facts were undeniable.
Then, she suddenly remembered that yesterday, a parent in her daughter's parent association group had posted a somewhat cryptic message.
They say there are ghosts in the school, so it's best to take some time off before talking.
"Could something really be wrong?"
Lu Lan took out her phone with some skepticism, opened Facebook, found the parent who posted the message, and discovered that, like herself, they were also Asian.
After sending a message asking about her daughter's symptoms, she described them to her.
But when the other end sent a series of text messages, her face turned deathly pale.
"Help me! You absolutely have to help me! We're all Chinese!"
Lu Lan received a reply shortly after sending the message.
"My daughter encountered this kind of thing, and she was only safe because she happened to meet a Taoist priest. His surname is Li, and I can give you his phone number, XXXXXXX."
"Is he really useful? Chinese people don't lie to other Chinese people!"
"Of course! If you don't believe me, then never mind!"
"Thanks!"
After sending out two words, Lu Lan immediately dialed a phone.
Beep~ Beep~ Beep~
After three rings, a lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Feed? What's up?"
Li Xuan was awakened from his cultivation. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, he thought it might be a potential client, so he didn't get angry.
One must cultivate immortality, and one must also earn money.
Cultivating immortality is for the purpose of enjoying life better, and making money is also for the purpose of enjoying life better while helping oneself to cultivate immortality.
The two complement each other and are indispensable.
Since there are demons and monsters in this world, there must also be corresponding rare and precious materials.
Those things undoubtedly require a lot of money.
"Master Li, right? I was introduced by Ms. Cui. I heard that you can exorcise evil spirits. My daughter may be possessed by an evil spirit. Could you please come and take a look? Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged!" Lu Lan pleaded politely.
At this moment, she was genuinely afraid that something might happen to her daughter.
It's not just because she's her daughter, but because only when her daughter is well can she stay here and enjoy life.
If something really happens to their daughter, her father will definitely make her go back home.
If she doesn't return to China, her child's father definitely won't send her any more money.
She knew that if she lost her money, the professor would definitely not stay with her anymore, given her age and loss of beauty.
If that were the case, she wouldn't be able to enjoy such a wonderful life.
In Lu Lan's mind, whether Black or White, they were all more noble than the Chinese across the ocean, and she was willing to spend money to be with them.
Of course, if you really have to choose, a white person is better, which is why she got together with Luo Qing's teacher.
"Okay, send me the address, I'll go right now!"
Li Xuan didn't think much of it and immediately packed some things, then went downstairs to hail a taxi.
Now that I have money, I still have to take a taxi.
When he got into the taxi wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a peach wood sword, the foreigner stared wide-eyed at the address he gave, keeping looking in the rearview mirror.
"Wow, that's so cool! What's that outfit? Are you going to a cosplay event?"
"Of course not, I am a Taoist priest, similar to a priest in your country's Christianity."
"Oh? So you're going to exorcise evil spirits? That's incredible!" The foreigner's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he exclaimed.
Li Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "What, you believe in these things?"
The foreigner's expression turned serious as he said, "Of course, I'm a taxi driver, and I occasionally take on side jobs at night. I've encountered some unbelievable things."
Li Xuan immediately took out a business card from his pocket, smiled, and placed it next to the driver, saying, "You can keep this business card. If you need one, you can buy a talisman from me. Don't misunderstand, I don't mean to curse you. There's an old saying in the East: 'Prevention is better than cure.'"
The driver, driving with one hand, casually picked up a business card from the side, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "My name is Colt Curry, you can call me Colt! Of course, I appreciate your culture, I need one, how much?"
"Old Ke, since we're friends now, I'll give you a 20% discount. This talisman originally sold for a thousand US dollars, but I'll give it to you for eight hundred US dollars," Li Xuan said with a smile, pulling out an exorcism talisman from his pocket.
"What?! Fuck! Eight hundred dollars for just one piece of yellow paper? Oh, I'd rather waive your fare!" Colter Curry couldn't help but swear upon hearing this, shaking his head repeatedly.
Eight hundred dollars, how many trips would you have to make to earn that back? The key point is, if you were to believe in this Taoism, wouldn't that be betraying your faith in God?
This won't do!
Li Xuan smiled slightly and took out another talisman from his pocket. This was a complete lie. He said with a smile, "This talisman has no effect whatsoever; it's purely a placebo effect. If you need it, I can give it to you."
As he spoke, he shook the exorcism talisman again and said, "This one will definitely make you feel it's worth every penny in times of crisis. As for which one to choose, that's up to you."
