Li Qingcheng originally thought that after she had said so much, Liu Buli should be satisfied.
But to her surprise, after hearing her words, the other party frowned with dissatisfaction. He wore a somewhat helpless expression and said, "Miss Li, I am sincerely making a deal with you, not threatening you. Since you've raised a question, we should resolve it properly. You didn't examine them carefully just now, how can you be sure those were the ones chasing you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was obvious to anyone that Liu Buli was doing this intentionally.
However, even if it was intentional, what he said was indeed correct.
If Li Qingcheng did not check the identities of the deceased clearly, then when she left this place, if she used it as an excuse to argue with Liu Buli about other matters, it would indeed make things unclear.
Liu Buli never liked to leave any hidden dangers for himself, so since she took the initiative to take a look, he had to let her examine it clearly.
After the initial fear subsided, Li Qingcheng herself thought about it seriously and felt that Liu Buli was right; she should take a good look.
Taking a few deep breaths, she walked into the area alone. The others stayed outside, quietly waiting for her to finish her examination.
After all, it had to be said that the scene was too impactful. Lu Wuming, who had done all this, did not have many feelings, but since his master was unwilling to go in, he was willing to accompany him outside, nothing more.
After Li Qingcheng fully entered, recalling the scene, You Siqi nudged Liu Buli's arm and asked him in a low voice, "How long do you think the female protagonist can stay inside? I bet she'll be back soon. Seriously, can't you teach your disciple some more aesthetically pleasing techniques? His current methods are too terrifying."
Liu Buli shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with You Siqi's assessment.
He only considered his first question and thought for a moment before saying, "Li Qingcheng is, after all, the craziest among all the female protagonists. As a psycho, if she doesn't stay inside and check everyone's face properly, it would be quite disappointing."
After speaking, he paused and then added with a smile, "As for my Wuming, I think this is quite good. Psychos and yanderes are popular, but how many can achieve the profound effect my disciple has? I am someone who likes to pursue extremes in everything I do. Seeing Wuming like this, I am particularly satisfied. Don't you think so? He couldn't be better now."
You Siqi's mouth twitched, and he ultimately said nothing.
After all, it was Liu Buli who would live with Lu Wuming. As long as Liu Buli himself didn't think there was a problem, he, as an observer, had said enough and there was no need to say more.
As for Li Qingcheng...
You Siqi opened his mouth, about to say something else, when he suddenly heard a burst of almost frenzied laughter erupt from the area where Li Qingcheng was.
The laughter was sharp and piercing. Although it had no destructive power, it was uncomfortable to hear.
Shen Muzhi blinked and tentatively asked Liu Buli and the others, "Has the woman inside gone mad?"
"She hasn't gone mad, it's likely just some minor reactions caused by her joy," Liu Buli rubbed his chin, then said to You Siqi, "See, I told you, as a psycho yandere, she should have some of the characteristics expected of a psycho yandere."
You Siqi's expression was a little stiff, and he said, "But what I wanted to tell you just now was that she didn't have time to awaken this talent before encountering the protagonist."
Liu Buli smiled, "It's the same if she awakens now. After all, she's the female protagonist. The fact that the secret realm didn't open before her arrival shows that this world still regards her as the protagonist. It's only natural for her to have some changes, isn't it?"
You Siqi: ...
No, what I actually wanted to say was that this was clearly because the scene created by your disciple was too horrifying, which made her mentally unstable!
However, courage was ultimately an issue. You Siqi thought about it in his heart but dared not speak his mind directly.
After waiting for a while longer, Li Qingcheng finally returned. No one knew what she had done inside, but when they saw her again, she had a strange smile on her face, and her clothes were stained with dark red blood.
Seeing Liu Buli and the others, Li Qingcheng curled her lips again, making the smile on her face even brighter. She said, "I have examined every one of them, and they were indeed the ones who were chasing me. Thank you for fulfilling this wish for me. As agreed, I owe you one, and I can do anything you ask me to do."
"That would be wonderful," Liu Buli said with a smile, taking a bell from his Qiankun bag and handing it to Li Qingcheng. "Let this be proof of our agreement. Keep it, and I will contact you if there is anything you need. Your arrival means you have kept your promise. If you don't come..."
"I shall willingly accept the punishment of being struck by lightning," Li Qingcheng was also a sensible person. She knew that Liu Buli saying this to her was nothing more than establishing a contract with her.
However, since the matter she had been longing for had been resolved, it was just a contract. She didn't feel like there was anything she couldn't do.
Reaching out, she took the bell and placed it in her embrace.
Watching her actions, Liu Buli smiled with satisfaction. He said, "I like your character of keeping your word. Since Miss Li is so understanding, it seems our transaction can proceed smoothly."
Li Qingcheng responded with a hum and then quickly lowered her head.
She hid the emotions in her eyes very well, and the others' attention was not entirely focused on her. Therefore, no one noticed how fervent the light in her eyes was when she heard the word "like."
Although the "like" in Liu Buli's words was not directed at her as a person, these simple two words were enough to make her heart leap with joy.
Li Qingcheng knew that Liu Buli might not be a good person, and he was definitely not related to those high and mighty, pure, and clean immortals.
But she was still smitten.
She felt that she must be crazy.
