Among Mortals

Oh shit,

Miscalculation! The moment Li Yao saw Feng Li her mouth, he knew something was wrong! Why is Big Sis Feng Li drinking in my tavern in broad daylight?!

What kind of devil are you?! When it comes to roasting people, Li Yao is really at a loss with Big Sis Feng Li, simply because Big Sis Feng Li is uncompromising and very straightforward!

Jiang Zhiying greeted everyone generously, "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Zhiying, a friend of Mr. Li. Mr. Li said that you are all a very interesting group of people, and it is indeed true. It's nice to meet you all."

Li Yao pursed his lips.

When did I say that! The rather formal opening remarks actually dampened Feng Li's interest in teasing. "He's a polite and well-mannered child."

Lin Xiaoxi crossed her arms and sneered, "Li Da Yao! You really are a big jerk."

Hum ('へ')!!!

Look at all the women around you! I haven't gotten a single one!

Li Yao's face immediately darkened. He pointed at Lin Xiaoxi and asked Chen Xi, "Why is this girl here instead of going to school? Is she on vacation?!"

Chen Xi said with a smile, "Xiaoxi said she's been taking exams lately, so she doesn't need to study and just wandered out."

Li Yao asked curiously, "Don't your teachers take attendance?"

The school is quite strict with freshmen.

Lin Xiaoxi said smugly, "I'm really frustrated that you can't catch me!"

Li Yao: "..."

Damn it!

"Damn, can someone with such incredible luck be used in a place like this?" Li Yao suddenly wanted to conduct an experiment. She led Jiang Zhiying to sit down at the Feng Li where Feng Li and the others were, and then said to Lin Xiaoxi, "Try giving Big Sis Feng Li a mouthful of milk."

Lin Xiaoxi: "???"

What's wrong with you? She looked at her own chest... then at Chen Xi's chest, and suddenly felt very sad.

Li Yao slapped her on the back of the head. "Where the hell are you looking!"

"Look at your chest!" Lin Xiaoxi said angrily, "Li Yao! Try hitting me again (○`Д○)!"

Li Yao slapped him again. "So what if I hit you!"

Lin Xiaoxi bared her teeth and said, "I'll bite you to death!"

Li Yao pressed Lin Xiaoxi's head down, preventing her from touching him no matter how much she struggled.

Tsk, you short arms! Jiang Zhiying watched Li Yao and the others playing around from the side and thought it was really nice here, everyone looked relaxed and happy.

If she were healthy, she would definitely come here every day.

After making a fuss for a while,

As night fell, it grew dark outside.

Li Yao took out his phone and called out, "What do you guys want to eat? I'm ordering takeout!"

"I, Boss Li, am rich!" Lin Xiaoxi sneered. "I want to eat the food cooked by Sister Chen Xi!"

Li Yao slapped her on the back of the head. "Does my Chen Xi owe you something?"

Lin Xiaoxi went crazy. "Li Yao, I'll fight you to the death! (#`Д)!"

Chen Xi, smiling, asked, "What would you all like to eat?"

While struggling with Li Yao, Lin Xiaoxi took a break and exclaimed, "I want to eat Seafood Hotpot!"

Lin Xiaoxi is just a child.

Everyone gave in to her, and then everyone voted that they wanted to eat Seafood Hotpot.

Chen Xi then turned and went into the kitchen, and soon the sounds of cooking ingredients could be heard coming from inside...

Li Yao, standing to the side, Feng Li, "Sister, is your shop closed?"

Feng Li said indifferently, "Anyway, it doesn't make any money."

He then turned to Lin Xiaoxi and said, "Why don't you give the neighbor a boost too? I think you're capable."

Lin Xiaoxi thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Li Yao, you're an adult now, you can't be so superstitious."

Li Yao: "..."

It's really amazing! Lin Xiaoxi probably doesn't even realize her own incredible luck, but when faced with something impossible, she instinctively avoids it, refusing to Big Sis Feng Li twice in a row! Even someone as lucky as Lin Xiaoxi doesn't dare to heal her!

So,

Does this mean that the Feng Li...?

It's terrifying to think about! Absolutely terrifying to think about!

After waiting for a while, Chen Xi brought a large Seafood Hotpot to the table. The aroma wafted from their table, attracting the attention of the other guests in the tavern.

Then a customer shouted, "Boss, isn't this a tavern?!"

"This delicious food has made us all very hungry!" Li Yao then said, "Yeah, the food isn't for sale."

Everyone, just smell it.

guest. "..."

soon,

Some customers couldn't stand paying the bill hastily and were preparing to go for skewers or hot pot!

Li Yao didn't seem to care.

Running a tavern is a hobby; making money is secondary.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Yao said to Jiang Zhiying, "Why don't you stay here too? There are empty rooms upstairs, I'll get them ready for you in a bit."

Jiang Zhiying has no problem with it.

After tidying up the room, Jiang Zhiying went upstairs to rest.

She is physically weak and has been very tired since getting off the high-speed train.

After Jiang Zhiying went upstairs,

Everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and soon dispersed.

Li Yao helped Chen Xi clear the dishes, then slapped Lin Xiaoxi on the back of the head. "Go help your sister Chen Xi wash the dishes!"

Lin Xiaoxi is practically numb!

She rubbed against Chen Xi, looking pitiful, and said, "Sister Chen Xi, Li Yao always bullies me ()!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Then you have to be good."

Lin Xiaoxi: "..."

Speak up.

Are you all ganging up on me?

In the end, Lin Xiaoxi obediently went to wash the dishes, muttering resentfully as she did so, "My parents have never made me wash dishes! Li Yao, you big jerk! You little devil!"

Li Yao laughed when he heard this as he was packing his things and going into the kitchen.

I'm not your dad or your mom.

I won't indulge you.

After everything was settled, Wei Dadong took a rag and tidied the table, which looked quite like a Western pub in Europe and America.

Li Yao lay down on his Lazy King's Throne and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

The events that happened during this period slipped away one by one like beads on a rosary, gradually calming the restlessness in my heart.

really,

His recent experiences have made him somewhat agitated.

He has always disliked the ugliness of the world and tried his best to avoid seeing it, but in the world, you will always encounter those things unexpectedly... It is a distressing and terrible experience.

Fortunately, there were places like taverns where he could stay.

very nice.

After resting for a while,

Li Yao took out his phone and started studying the magic knowledge that Lin Xiaowei had compiled for him.

This includes the creation of Soul Vessel.

Soul Vessel

An object that can house a soul.

These artifacts vary in quality; the more powerful ones include the lich's life box, while the more common ones are the Soul Orb used by ordinary necromancers.

In the movie "Harry Potter", Voldemort also created Soul Vessel for himself.

In Li Yao's view, Voldemort should no longer be considered human; he should be classified as a lich, a species of the undead. However, the Harry Potter world is too weak; even if Voldemort created such a thing, he was still wiped out by a group of high school students.

Look at Grindelwald,

That's way more sophisticated!

The alchemical skills and magical proficiency required for creating Soul Vessel vary from simple to complex. The Soul Vessel created for Jiang Zhiying was not very complex, and Li Yao's second-level magical proficiency was sufficient.

Until late at night,

Li Yao already had a general understanding of Soul Vessel; all that remained was to try and figure out how to manufacture them.

As for the form of the Soul Vessel...

emmmmm,

How about learning about Aladdin's Lamp?
