No strange things are allowed to evolve!

However, Jiang Shu didn't explain much, only saying, "Yes, everything has been taken care of. I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

“As the first friend I made in the temple of lies, I feel it is necessary for me to be honest with you. I can no longer keep it from you.”

Jiang Shu's expression was very serious:

"Although you are a poet of lies, you are also a good person. I see a light called kindness in you, so bright that it dazzles me. Every time I see you, I feel very conflicted."

To be honest, I don't want you to see my ugly side, but I really can't imagine what a terrible scene it would be if you found out for yourself one day. Moreover, I really don't want to betray your trust in me or tarnish your brilliance because of my concealment.

So after much consideration, I feel I must be honest with you.

“Uh…” Moore was speechless for a moment.

What kind of madness is this?

And the strawberry milkshake suddenly felt a chill.

She regretted coming along.

I thought it was something important, but it turns out he just came over and said such cheesy things to Moore?

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Moore asked.

"Actually," Jiang Shu took a deep breath, "I've been sick..."

"Huh?" Moore was a little puzzled. "Everyone gets sick, it's no big deal. Why are you so worried?"

“No.” Jiang Shu shook her head: “It’s not the kind of ordinary illness you’re imagining.”

"what is that?"

Jiang Shu didn't answer directly, but asked, "Do you know the intersection of Furong Street and Shunli Street?"

Upon hearing this, Moore's pupils contracted: "Could it be...?"

"That's right! It's that kind of disease."

Strawberry Milkshake was completely confused: "Wait, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

“This…” Moore’s expression became somewhat awkward.

He glanced at Jiang Shu, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to object to his explanation, he said to Strawberry Milkshake, "At the intersection of Furong Street and Shunli Street... there are many people who make money by selling their bodies."

"Huh?" Strawberry Milkshake looked at Jiang Shu in shock.

"No, we've been together almost the entire time these past few days, and we haven't been to that place. How do you know all this?"

Jiang Shu shrugged.

"I heard it from those adventurers."

Adventurers reap great rewards, but the risks are equally high. They always live with their lives on the line, so for most single adventurers, the first thing they do after earning money is to spend it on fun places in Lies Town, thus knowing many hidden attractions.

And even if they aren't adventurers, what can a group of men talk about when they get together?

It's nothing more than chatting about pornography, having sex, and fantasizing about how carefree they'll be when they become rich, maybe with a little more talk about what to eat for dinner.

So it's perfectly normal for Jiang Shu to know these things once they've gotten to know each other a little.

Strawberry Milkshake exclaimed incredulously, "Wait, you mean that back then, the things you talked about behind my back, things you didn't want me to hear, were this?"

“That’s right.” Jiang Shu nodded. “Actually, I didn’t care if you heard it, but they probably misunderstood our relationship, so they deliberately avoided you.”

"So, he told you all this under the assumption that we were a couple, planning to drag you to hang out with them?" Strawberry Milkshake laughed in exasperation.

The adventurers are really low-class.

"Wait a minute," Moore interrupted them. "Let's put that aside for now, but did you really have that kind of disease?"

Jiang Shu hummed in agreement: "When I was younger, probably a few years ago."

"You're not kidding?"

"The anti-magic stone isn't reacting, is it?"

"Um..."

Moore's gaze towards Jiang Shu suddenly held a hint of wariness:

"Is it all set now?"

"At least it has no impact now, and it won't be contagious."

Moore breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Well, it's not so bad."

Don't you feel cheated?

“No, it won’t.” Moore shook his head. “I don’t understand why you think this kind of thing will affect our relationship. In fact, even if you are contagious, you won’t be able to infect me, right?”

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something and asked with some alarm, "You wouldn't be...?"

"No, that's not it," Jiang Shu quickly explained.

"Oh." Moore was relieved.

But Jiang Shu's next words made him uneasy.

"Then, please share your thoughts."

"What?" Moore was stunned.

"What are your thoughts on this? Could you help me analyze and summarize my experience with that illness?"

"Not a buddy?"

Moore felt that Jiang Shu's illness might not be limited to the small head; perhaps the large head was also affected.

Suddenly appearing out of nowhere to confess such things, and then asking for my opinion.

What kind of strange quirk is this?

"If you don't tell me, then you're discriminating against me..." Jiang Shu looked disappointed.

"No...I didn't!"

Even the strawberry milkshake couldn't stand it anymore.

Is this some kind of compliance test?

However, Jiang Shu didn't take it to heart at all. She simply made a gesture for him to speak and then said seriously, "Then you go ahead and say it."

With no other option, Moore had to gather his thoughts.

"Well... to say I have any special opinions, it's actually not that bad. In my opinion, this is normal."

As he pondered his words, he slowly said:

"Actually, although I don't care much about what's going on outside, even I know that Lies Town has become much more open in recent years. In the past, it was only women who sold their bodies to make money, but now it seems that there are quite a few men doing it too."

So these diseases... are actually quite common, and there are many doctors who specialize in treating them, so they're not really a big deal anymore.

And even if doctors are powerless, for a poet of lies, this level of change is still achievable; there are many ways to make them disappear from you.

"I'm not asking for your opinion on the disease, I'm asking for your opinion on me as a patient."

"Uh..."

Moore thought about it and adjusted his approach:

"Actually, I can tell from your behavior that you care about this a lot, otherwise you wouldn't think that this matter will affect our friendship."

But I want to assure you, this won't have any impact, and I won't have any particular opinion about you.

After all, everyone has a period of youthful ignorance. Sometimes, it's easy to get yourself into trouble without careful planning. This is actually quite normal. I'm sure you must have been very scared at the time, right?

Fortunately, you recovered in the end, so I think that as long as you can be more careful and mindful of your conduct in the future, this lesson won't be entirely negative; it will become a valuable experience and warning in your life.

"Hmm..." Jiang Shu seemed to be deep in thought, but actually secretly glanced at the anti-magic stone.

There's no reaction at all...

But Moore's statement was clearly wrong, and quite wrong in many ways.

First of all, Jiang Shu did not act carelessly.

He simply felt that it was a very exciting and fulfilling thing.

Imagine this: in a dimly lit bar, your companion points to a local empress in the corner and introduces her as the ancestor of all poisons. Ordinary cultivators cannot get close to her; if they cross the line, they will be plagued by misfortune and suffer the torment of being devoured by all poisons.

At this moment, you smile slightly, walk towards the Empress amidst the puzzled looks of your companions, invite her to embark on the path of dual cultivation, and then lead her into the restroom.

After you come out, show your companions the video you filmed, letting them see your feat of challenging a higher level without using any magic weapons or pills, and how the Empress even used the supreme method of condensing qi into liquid under your attack.

At that moment, you will receive a look of awe.

It was very exciting and gave me a great sense of accomplishment.

Secondly, Jiang Shu did not fully recover.

Those viruses simply coexisted peacefully with him, becoming an integral part of his body, rather than dying.

Aside from not being contagious, he still has everything else. If you want to extract a sample, you can find all sorts of precious samples in his blood.

Jiang Shu can be described as a walking virus repository.

Finally, the point about maintaining personal integrity.

Don't make your brother Jiang laugh.

So this is very strange and puzzling.

The criteria for judging Mole and Jiang Shu regarding the anti-magic stone seem to be different.

For Moore, the Anti-Magic Stone would judge it as true as long as he believed it to be true, but for Jiang Shu and Strawberry Milkshake, the Anti-Magic Stone judged it based on objective facts.

What caused this difference?

Jiang Shu naturally thought of the "ordination" that Moore had mentioned.

For the magic-suppressing stone to be effective against specific supernatural powers, then the person possessing that supernatural power must undergo "ordination."

What is certain now is that since the anti-magic stone reacts, the power of lies he and Moore possess must originate from the same source. It's just that for some reason, the standards differ in the anti-magic stone.

With this in mind, Jiang Shu decided to conduct further experiments.

"So you really don't discriminate against me, right?"

"Of course." Faced with Jiang Shu's repeated confirmation, Moore deeply felt just how much of a shadow this incident had cast on him.

All he could do was try his best to encourage Jiang Shu and help her get through that mental hurdle.

That was his original plan.

but.

"Could you introduce me to your sister? I've heard you have a beautiful sister."

"?" Moore's eyelids twitched, and without hesitation, he said, "No."

"How could this be..."

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Shu seemed to suddenly lose all strength, collapsing to the ground, and said in a daze:

"Actually... you still discriminate against me, don't you?"

"These are two different things..." Moore finally turned to him, his expression one of utter helplessness: "Besides this, what exactly do you want me to do for you to believe me?"

“I…” Jiang Shu looked around: “Why don’t we go outside and talk? I’m a little embarrassed.”

"You're still embarrassed?" Strawberry Milkshake had been shocked countless times throughout the entire interview.

She was curious about what could have made Jiang Shu feel embarrassed, since he could say those things so casually.

In the end, Moore couldn't resist Jiang Shu's insistence and followed Strawberry Milkshake out of the temple with him.

"actually."

Arriving at a secluded spot, and seeing that no one was around, Jiang Shu finally spoke:

"This incident really had a big impact on me. For a long time, I didn't dare to talk to unfamiliar girls, and I felt scared every time I thought about it."

My body seems to have developed some kind of protective mechanism, which makes me lose that ability whenever I think about it, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of it happening again.

I didn't really care at first; in fact, I thought it was fine this way.

But recently some things have come up. I met a really nice girl, and we like each other. I'm worried this will affect our future, so I'm asking for your help. You're the only person I can trust.
