“Roughly… I can lift three of these benches,” Youxi said.
“That’s not bad,” Li Andy nodded.
The bench was very thick and heavy; without using Mad Blood, he could barely lift it.
So, the strength of a Faceless Nun is roughly equivalent to three adult males.
“What about the consumption? Do you get tired? What happens if you overexert yourself?” Li Andy asked again.
Youxi closed her eyes and felt for a moment: “If I exert myself fully, I should be able to last for half an hour. Overexertion… I haven’t tried it, but Anna said that when spiritual energy is exhausted, my head will ache as if it’s splitting open. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, never overdraw your spiritual energy.”
Li Andy nodded again, then asked:
“Then how do you control these two nuns? Do they have consciousness?”
Youxi paused, then shook her head:
“They have no consciousness, only some residual instincts. Their bodies are hollow inside, with only some wandering spiritual energy.
“As for controlling them, simple commands only require a thought; but complex commands require me to follow the ‘threads’ into their bodies and control them manually.”
“Follow the threads… and go in?” Li Andy raised an eyebrow.
Youxi explained:
“Between me and them, there’s something like a thread connecting us. Anna said it’s a Soul Chain, a mysterious connection that only forms after souls intertwine.
“I follow that thread to enter their bodies, and then control their bodies as if I’m controlling my own.
“That feeling is like putting on a strange piece of clothing, donning a layer… of skin that doesn’t belong to me.”
Li Andy frowned after hearing this.
Why did this feel somewhat similar to his experience of entering Molly’s body?
Were both essentially influences on the soul level?
That Soul Chain, those threads… do I have them?
Li Andy closed his eyes, and in the ethereal realm, he seemed to genuinely feel a faint, elusive “thread.”
It was like an extremely light spider silk, flickering in and out with his breathing, difficult to grasp.
Li Andy concentrated and tried many times, but still couldn’t touch it.
Just as he was trying for the tenth time…
“Got it!”
Li Andy excitedly opened his eyes, subconsciously tugging gently on the “thread.”
The next second, the goddess statue in front of him suddenly vanished.
In its place were swirls of white mist and a hazy large mirror.
And in the mirror, a completely unclothed girl lay on a bathing chair.
‘Molly?’
‘I went directly into Molly’s body?’
‘Wait, is this the bathroom?!’
Li Andy immediately realized something was wrong and instantly closed his eyes, relaxing his whole body.
Through the slits of his eyes, he saw a small maid holding a cotton brush nearby, and on the other side, Madam Harveys holding a wooden comb, helping her comb her hair.
Hiss!
How embarrassing…
If he was discovered, would the client think he was a pervert?
Would they deduct his payment?
Fortunately, the bathroom mist obscured their vision.
They didn’t notice that the sleeping Molly had suddenly opened her eyes for a moment.
The little maid asked while lathering:
“Madam, when will Miss’s illness get better? We were so happy when she woke up yesterday!”
Madam Harveys’ hand, holding the wooden comb, stiffened slightly, and she forced a smile:
“Soon, soon…”
The little maid didn’t notice anything amiss and continued happily:
“Madam, Miss is so clever and capable! She’s helped us fix so many things; everyone really admires her. You really should send her to Fog City, to a real mechanical university, instead of that… noble academy.”
Madam Harveys’ body paused, and she said softly:
“If she speaks, I’ll take her back to Luoou.”
The little maid smiled innocently and brightly, as if rejoicing for the sleeping Molly. She was about to say something more when the Madam interrupted her.
“Help Miss wash up first. Tomorrow… she will wake up.”
“Oh!”
The little maid happily picked up the cotton brush, her movements very gentle, as if she were handling an antique treasure.
In front of the mirror, the sleeping jade beauty was meticulously polished.
From her limbs to each of her toes.
Li Andy kept his eyes tightly shut, not daring to move.
But the waves of tingling sensations from her body to his soul almost made him groan aloud.
Oh my goodness…
A girl’s body is too sensitive!
Damn it, I forgot to ask Youxi how to get back!
Li Andy gritted his teeth, in agony and pleasure.
Just as he was about to shiver, a pulling force suddenly came from his body, instantly pulling his soul back.
When he opened his eyes again, he met his sister Youxi’s bright, large eyes.
“Brother?”
Li Andy couldn’t help but shiver:
“Uh, I didn’t sleep well, I got distracted.”
Suddenly, the bench shook violently.
Youxi, with a gasp, crashed straight into his arms.
Li Andy quickly raised his hands to prevent the milk from spilling.
“Sorry, Brother, I’m still not very skilled.”
Youxi raised her small face, which was inches away, her eyes like an innocent fawn’s, but her slightly upturned lips revealed a hint of slyness.
“…” Li Andy was speechless.
Was she doing it on purpose, or was it an accident?
Youxi pursed her lips and chuckled softly, then actively hugged him, her face gently resting on his chest:
“Brother, do you know… when I first borrowed things from Him, I accidentally fell into a terrifying darkness where there was nothing but endless blackness. I was so scared, I ran desperately, ran with all my might… Finally, I saw a faint light, and there, I saw…”
Youxi suddenly stopped speaking.
Li Andy frowned slightly and pressed:
“Saw what?”
“Nothing.”
The girl smiled, raised her small face, and suddenly asked,
“Brother, don’t leave me, okay?”
“…”
Looking at the girl’s sweet smile, for some reason, he felt a chill down his spine.
Did she really not have to pay a price?
Li Andy’s throat moved slightly, and he forced a somewhat stiff smile: “Okay…”
Youxi giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Li Andy instantly froze.
Immediately after, a milky softness entered his mouth.
Like the tentacles of an evil god, stirring the souls of the lost.
Beneath the statue, it felt like desecration.
“…”
After a long silence, he chose to embrace the girl.
