Although they are of different genders, this girl's smile is very much like mine.

"Try it, sir. This is a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. It is specially designed to cure the soul's depravity."

The squinty-eyed girl smiled gently, her voice was like the sound of a clear spring, not causing any disgust in people.

Anyone who can say "the soul is sinking" is definitely not an ordinary person.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind was in a state of confusion and he couldn't think too much. He subconsciously unscrewed the lid of the thermos and gulped down the unknown liquid inside.

The liquid with a strange and refreshing fragrance immediately produced a wonderful chemical reaction after it went down the stomach.

A bone-chilling chill spread throughout his limbs and made him shiver violently. It seemed as if every cell in his body was wailing from the freezing cold, and his entire body was shaking.

But the cruel and bloodthirsty thoughts in his heart were quickly dispelled by the chill, as if they had never been born.

Uesugi Kiyoshi exhaled a breath of white air, which was sparkling and seemed to contain ice chips.

He returned the empty thermos cup to the squinty-eyed girl with some trembling and asked in a hoarse voice.

"What is this?"

The girl took the cup and her smile became even gentler.

"Add honeysuckle, mountain branches, dragon pear leaves, winter wheat, snow fungus, and appropriate amount of rock sugar, boil for an hour, freeze and store, and take it out and thaw it at room temperature when you want to drink it."

It took Uesugi Kiyoshi three seconds to react.

Isn't this herbal tea?!

A cup of herbal tea can wake you up from your spiritual depression?

He was thinking rapidly in his mind, and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the girl in front of him, with different thoughts running through his mind.

Could this be the link to the mirror that inherits the soul of a miraculous doctor?

Why should she help me?

The next second, the squinty-eyed girl spoke as if she had predicted the future.

"Not."

"I don't have the inheritance mirror linked to the doctor."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart skipped a beat and his eyes became serious.

If this magical herbal tea can be explained by "Linker".

So what about this mind-reading ability?

ps. Well, this is the last female protagonist. If space permits, Suzuka Gozen might also appear. It depends on the specific situation.

Chapter 69 Fuyao

"It's not mind reading, huh?"

The girl smiled in the rain. Against the backdrop of the corpses and blood all over the ground, she was like a pure white lotus that emerged from the mud without being stained, elegant and otherworldly.

What she said made Uesugi Kiyoshi's cheek twitch slightly again.

And you said you can't read minds!

"It's not mind reading, nor is it a supernatural power."

"You're just too good at guessing."

"Whatever you think is written on your face."

"How cute~"

The girl held her chin with her hand and spoke as if it was a matter of course.

Compared to the content of the words, the girl's frivolous tone made Uesugi Kiyoshi's mood even more complicated.

Is this a tease?!

To be honest, it has been more than a year since he traveled through time. Because of his good looks and excellent reputation, Uesugi Kiyoshi has received many confessions. Some were written in love letters, and some expressed their feelings in person. He rejected them all awkwardly but politely.

But this is the first time I've been teased.

He was not in a position to get angry. The fairy-like girl in front of him had just saved him once. He had a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment and kept it in mind. Although he still had some doubts in his heart as to why the girl happened to appear here, he was more grateful.

He really almost couldn't hold on just now.

People who have not experienced this feeling of sinking will never be able to imagine how cruel the torture is. The soul loses its own mark bit by bit, and everything in front of you is unreal. Countless whispers are like devilish sounds that continue to penetrate your ears, like countless tiny knives, chopping your thoughts into pieces bit by bit, until you lose yourself.

"I" will witness with my own eyes the process of me becoming not "me".

Then he was saved by a cup of herbal tea.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi took a step back and prepared to bow to express his gratitude, but as soon as he took a step, the girl held his shoulder.

"You're welcome. Herbal tea isn't expensive."

"Well, there aren't that many coincidences in this world. You have every right to doubt me. I don't mind."

"My shop is right here, would you like to come in and have a seat?"

The girl's squinting eyes - as if they could see through people's hearts, there was an indescribable light dancing in them, just like a girl seeing some clothes or accessories she had long admired, showing a subtle but excited joy.

After a sweet smile, the girl's expression was natural and unpretentious, and she stretched out her hand to move to the side.

The direction that Qingcongyu pointed to was a small bookstore.

The door was half-open, with three large Chinese characters written on the top - "Bai Wen Guan".

Uesugi Kiyoshi's pupils suddenly shrank, and all kinds of thoughts surged in his mind.

He was very familiar with these three words.

This is related to his Hundred Stories Cards. In the game of his previous life, the Hundred Stories Pavilion was the place to draw cards. In the background story, the Hundred Stories Pavilion was the residence of "Aoandon", the lord of the great monster Hundred Monogatari".

This charming and lovely beauty with long legs sits leisurely in the Baiwen Pavilion, listening to hundreds of stories and composing a book of one hundred tales.

Could it be that this girl possesses the evil spirit of "Qingxuandeng"?

That's not right. The Hundred Demons Scroll seemed to be asleep and didn't give any hints. This thing has always been keen on letting him collect demon souls. If he encounters the big monster "Aoandon", it will definitely not remain silent.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was very confused in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He retracted his gaze, looked quietly at the girl in front of him, and smiled slightly.

"It is better to obey than to be respectful. I still want to thank you for your [herbal tea]."

"The name of Baiwenguan is very unique. What kind of store is it?"

"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before, in some myth?"

He spoke cautiously and tested the situation, but he did not stop and followed closely behind the girl.

Since people have invited him, he wants to go there and try his luck.

What's more, he felt that the girl had no ill intentions, otherwise she wouldn't even have added anything to the herbal tea. As long as she ignored him, he would most likely be dead.

The two walked into the Baiwen Pavilion, one in front and one behind, with the door half open.

The girl held the door for Uesugi Kiyoshi, put away her umbrella, and only closed the door after he came in.

The light suddenly dimmed, and the lights in the house were turned on so that people could see clearly. The store was not big, only about 30 or 40 square meters. There was a very simple desk near the door. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, as well as many thread-bound books stacked together. They all looked old. It should be the girl's seat.

The girl sat down in her seat, stretched, revealing her exquisite curves, and leaned lazily on the tall chair back, and replied softly: "The name of Hyakumonogatari comes from the legend of Hyakumonogatari."

"The moral is to collect stories from all over the world. I really like the feeling of listening to stories. The joy, anger, sorrow, love, hate, and vengeance are expressed through language and words. The feeling of jumping into my mind is really great."

"Hearsay is as good as seeing it in person."

"This is a bookstore, just look around."

The girl collapsed comfortably on the chair, picked up a thread-bound book and flipped through a few pages, then drew a few strokes on a notebook with a pencil, pursed her lips, and signaled Uesugi Kiyoshi to do as he pleased.

This made Uesugi Kiyoshi a little dazed.

He thought the girl had something to say to him or wanted him to do something.

He was ready to agree. He believed that one should repay a favor and pay back a debt. This was his belief. Why would anyone help you without any reason and unless they were your relative or friend?

Isn't it natural that I help you and then let you pay some price?

Sow, then reap, give, then reward.

It is justified.

This is true for kindness and hatred.

What he never expected was that this lazy, squinty-eyed girl would just leave herself there, like a customer picked up from the street.

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded silently and walked closer to the antique bookshelf in the room. While thinking about something, he also looked at the books on the shelf.

The identity of this girl must be unusual. First of all, she must be a supernatural being. Secondly, she should have some ability to see into people's hearts.

What is this "your thoughts are written on your face" - Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't believe this. Although he is not very old, he has lived two lives and is able to keep his emotions under control. It shouldn't be that easy to understand.

But the other person didn't want to talk about it, and Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't ask any further.

He originally wanted to flip through the book casually and then say goodbye and go home. There were guests at home and the mess outside had to be cleaned up by someone. So he asked for the girl's contact information first, and he would repay her kindness when he had the chance in the future.

That's what he thought.

As he flipped through the book, Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly seemed to remember something, raised his head, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet."

"I'm Uesugi Kiyoshi, and I live in the apartment next door."

"I wonder who you are, Miss?"

The squinting-eyed girl casually raised her head and glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi, then smiled gently.

"Uesugi-kun, nice to meet you."

"My name is Li Fuyao."

"Please give me more advice~"
