Chapter 2: Mysterious Eyes
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
From Liu Yingying's reaction just now, what he saw was definitely true.
If there was a phenomenon in the sky, there would definitely be a demon.
Li Mo recalled what his master had said and a chill ran down his spine. It was a miracle that he did not die after being struck by lightning. Moreover, his eyes had undergone some unknown magical change. If he was not a demon, what was he?
The nurse added some medications to his drip. A few minutes later, the itch on his body slowly subsided and he felt much more relaxed.
Through the gap in the curtains, he saw that it was already late outside. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. Just as she was feeling extremely bored, Liu Yingying walked in with a takeout.
"Hooligan."
"Rascal."
The two of them shouted at the same time. Then, Yingying couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. A faint blush appeared on her face.
"Remember, you owe me a kiss."
"I'm sorry, you guessed wrong." Liu Yingying raised her eyebrows and placed the takeout on the bedside table. "I ordered your favorite food, the five-spice pig head meat and old-flavored beef from the Palace Restaurant, and a serving of plain porridge."
"You know me the best. What should I do when you get married in the future?"
"You're so talkative." Liu Yingying tapped his head with her right index finger. "You'll be unconscious for a day. The doctor said that it's best to stay in the hospital for another three days of observation. My father has already applied for leave for you, so you can stay here in peace."
Li Mo was full. It was unknown if it was because of the aftereffects or because the drip had a calming effect, but he fell asleep after a while.
When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Yingying had already left. There was a set of gray underwear on the bedside table with a note on it. Yingying had written it in a beautiful script.
"It's clean. Remember to change."
A warm feeling rose in Li Mo's heart. He and Yingying had known each other since kindergarten, played together, and grew up together. Later on, he even took Liu Chuanqing as his master.
They were definitely childhood sweethearts.
He was especially energetic when he woke up, and his body was no longer itchy. He picked up his clean underwear and walked into the bathroom. He took off his hospital gown, revealing his strong upper body.
Because he practiced martial arts all year round, his figure looked taller and stronger than his peers. The muscles on his body were sharp and defined. At this moment, he saw many light pink marks on his upper body in the mirror. They spread from the left chest to his lower abdomen like lightning, making him look more demonic.
"The legendary Kiss of the Lightning," Li Mo muttered to himself. It was quite nice when he observed them carefully.
He stared into his eyes in the mirror. The cool airflow appeared again. His pupils were constricting, and there seemed to be a golden spot in the center that flashed.
Everything in front of him began to change. The mirror emitted a wisp of clear light, and his vision became penetrating. He looked through the mirror and saw the wall behind him. After penetrating five centimeters, he could not go deeper.
Li Mo retreated step by step. When he was five meters away from the washroom, he lost his sense of the mirror and his vision returned to normal.
There was a limit to the ability of his eyes.
Li Mo tried different items again, and the situation was roughly the same. In the end, he concluded that the range of the sensing item could not exceed five meters. Otherwise, his X-ray vision would disappear.
He had a pair of magical eyes. But who would believe him?
"Little Mo."
Liu Chuanqing walked into the ward with the thermos flask.
"Master, I'm changing my clothes." Li Mo hurriedly changed his undergarments. He threw the old ones into the trash can and walked out of the bathroom.
"Master, can you tell the doctor later that I want to be discharged? This place is not far from the City God Temple. If anything happens, you can rush over at any time. This way, I won't be bored, and you don't have to run back and forth."
"Eat first. I'll go ask."
At around two in the afternoon, Li Mo and Liu Chuanqing returned to Guyun Pavilion. The glass at the door had been changed. The person taking care of the shop was a middle-aged beautiful woman with a good temperament.
"Little Mo, are you alright? Old Liu, you're also messing around. You should let Little Mo stay in the hospital for two more days."
The middle-aged woman's tone was a little serious. Liu Chuanqing hurriedly replied, "Honey, you can't blame me. It's mainly because Little Mo strongly wants to be discharged. You also know that this child is skilled in martial arts. He has been practicing
"As a master, you know how to push the blame. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the children?"
Liu Chuanqing smiled awkwardly.
"Shiniang, it's really my fault this time. You can't let Master suffer."
"Little Mo, I'm going to buy an old hen to make soup. Rest first."
After she left, Liu Chuanqing heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, "Little Mo, as an experienced person, I'll give you a piece of advice. You have to marry a virtuous and gentle wife."
Li Mo smiled without saying anything. His master was in pain and joy at the same time.
"Master, I'm going out for a walk to relax."
"Go ahead. Remember to come back early for soup."
The City God Temple was very large. Other than the Antique Street, there were also planned stalls in the square in front of the temple that were rented to mobile stalls. The weather was good today, and tourists were enthusiastic. People came and went.
Li Mo strolled slowly, his gaze sweeping across the stalls. With his appraisal ability, it was too obvious that the things in the stalls were made to look old. The boss tried his best to shout that they were ancestral antiques. They might be things that had just been fished out of the feces pit in the past few days.
Along the way, Li Mo finally stopped in front of a stall. There were more than 10 types of porcelain and some wood carvings on the ground. The fat boss sat on a stool and played with his handphone happily.
What attracted Li Mo's attention was a bottle shaped like a gourd. It was pink and green, giving off a fresh and elegant beauty under the sunlight.
"Boss, can I take a look at this gourd bottle?"
"You can look at it, but your hands have to be steady. It's very precious." The fat boss did not even look up.
Li Mo squatted down and picked up the gourd bottle. His fingers slid along the mouth of the bottle. Finally, he looked at the bottom of the bottle. There was an inscription.
He had come into contact with the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties' high-quality imitation porcelain the most. The touch, the unglazed surface and the base were very familiar. The gourd bottle was clearly different from the imitation ones. Could it really be an old item?
At the thought of this, Li Mo became excited. He became even more focused. Gray light suddenly emitted from the gourd bottle and formed more than 30 halos that spread out, covering the gourd bottle with a layer of mystery.
The mystical ability of his eyes was not just X-ray vision.
Li Mo returned to normal and suppressed the restlessness in his heart. He put down the gourd bottle and said casually, "Boss, this bottle looks good. I happen to lack an ornament on my desk. How much is it?"
Only then did the fat boss put down his cell phone and come over to take a look. He said seriously, "Little brother, you have good taste. You took a fancy to the high-quality goods in my hands at a glance. I bought this gourd bottle from an old farmer at a high price. It's a good thing. If you like it, I can give you a good price. 5,000 yuan."
Li Mo stood up regretfully and said in embarrassment, "Boss, I don't have that much money on me. The price is too high. I'll look for other stalls."
"Don't, little brother." Seeing that the business deal was going to fail, the fat boss hurriedly waved his hand. "It's fate that we met today. Name a price. As long as you don't make me lose money, I'll make you my friend."
Li Mo hesitated for a moment before saying, "I only have 300 yuan on me."
"Little brother, I spent a high price to buy this. 300 yuan is too low. I can't even get back my capital."
"Boss, I'll come again if there's a chance next time." Li Mo pretended to leave. He was too familiar with these people's methods. It was harder than ascending to the heavens to make a killing from him.
"Wait, little brother. Can you add a little more? At least let me earn some hard work compensation."
Li Mo reached out and said, "At most 500."
"Deal."
The fat boss was very straightforward this time. He had spent 200 yuan to buy this gourd bottle from other stalls. It was enough to earn 300 yuan in one go. As for the price of 5,000 yuan, he was trying to fool him.
