Isn't my Red Embroidered Shoes right there?
Watching the woman in red eerily pointing at her own feet, she smiled sinisterly.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, like a high-powered air conditioner blowing icy air at maximum into his neck.
Lin Yuan instinctively lowered his head to look at his feet.
He didn't know before he looked, but once he did, he was shocked and shivered.
He saw an extremely terrifying scene.
Can you imagine?
On his size 43 feet, shockingly, there were a pair of Red Embroidered Shoes.
These Red Embroidered Shoes, with red base and embroidered edges, had cloud patterns on them, quite exquisite.
At a glance, you could tell these were embroidered shoes that only noblewomen in ancient times could afford to wear.
The most crucial point is, these Red Embroidered Shoes were extremely small, meant for the bound feet of women.
How did the Red Embroidered Shoes for bound feet manage to fit on Lin Yuan's size 43 feet?
Lin Yuan couldn't understand.
Perhaps, there's no need to understand.
Because, Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charms cannot be judged by common sense.
Lin Yuan lay on the bed, the Red Embroidered Shoes for bound feet fitted on his feet.
At this moment, he could feel a chilly sensation starting from his feet and creeping upwards, spreading to his calves, thighs, waist, abdomen...
For a moment, Lin Yuan seemed like he was plunged into a freezer.
Deceitful Qi!
This is Deceitful Qi invading a person's body.
If Lin Yuan were just an ordinary person, then today he'd be bound to fail, with no chance of survival.
However, he was not.
Soon, the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo on Lin Yuan's legs began to stir.
Then, it crazily absorbed this Deceitful Qi.
It even started demanding more.
As the Deceitful Qi contained in the Red Embroidered Shoes surged crazily into the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo, the figure of the woman in red standing by the bedside began to fade.
Most Deceitful Charms have no physical form; their bodies are composed of Deceitful Qi.
The more Deceitful Qi, the stronger their power, and the more solid their bodies appear.
The less Deceitful Qi, the weaker their power, and the more their bodies fade.
Now, after the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo's mad extraction, the Deceitful Qi within the woman in red was like floodwaters during a discharge, cascading endlessly.
"You..."
"You aren't an ordinary person!" the woman in red reacted, pointing at Lin Yuan in astonishment.
Lin Yuan thought to himself, You realize I'm not ordinary now?
Too late!
But Lin Yuan would stubbornly deny it.
Now the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo was absorbing Deceitful Qi at an alarming speed; if it were delayed any longer, Lin Yuan wouldn't need to lift a finger himself.
This woman in red would be completely drained, down to the last drop.
Later, Lin Yuan would make this woman in red cry and beg for mercy.
Make her cry out: There's no more, there's no more, not a single drop left.
Lin Yuan looked at the woman in red and said sincerely: "I truly am an ordinary person, and besides, I'm a cripple."
"See, I'm lying here unable to move."
"Weren't you planning to consume me? Go ahead!"
Seeing Lin Yuan's earnest expression, the woman in red almost believed him.
However, the Deceitful Qi wildly leaking from within her told her that the man before her was a deceitful trickster.
In this world, there are two kinds of words you can't believe.
The words of Deceitful Charms and men's words.
She wanted to complain: "I've consumed so many people, can't I distinguish whether you're ordinary or not?"
"The Deceitful Qi is leaking uncontrollably, if not your doing, then whose?"
The woman in red was about to go mad, thinking to herself, after consuming so many people, this is the first time she failed to consume someone and even gave away her Deceitful Qi.
However, this woman in red wasn't foolish.
From Lin Yuan's speed of absorbing Deceitful Qi, she realized Lin Yuan was not ordinary and possessed notable power.
So, she extended her hand, summoning the Red Embroidered Shoes gently off Lin Yuan's feet.
She planned to flee.
However, just as the Red Embroidered Shoes were leaving Lin Yuan's feet.
In the blink of an eye.
In that critical moment.
From Lin Yuan's legs emerged two furry hands...
No, claws?
Not quite!
It should be hooves?
Ox hoof and Horse hoof.
Indeed, as the woman in red attempted to escape with the Red Embroidered Shoes.
From Lin Yuan's left leg came an Ox hoof, and from the right leg a Horse hoof.
The Ox hoof and Horse hoof each grabbed a Red Embroidered Shoe.
Then, two phantom figures appeared out of thin air.
Ox Head and Horse Face.
Ox Head and Horse Face both stood over a yard tall, with human bodies and animal heads, covered in fur.
Ox Head held a steel fork, Horse Face held a large axe.
At this moment, Ox Head and Horse Face stood like two bodyguards protecting Lin Yuan's bed.
Their hands, though resembling Ox hooves and Horse hooves, were remarkably agile.
At this moment, one hand held the weaponry, while the other clutched the Red Embroidered Shoes.
"Crunch!"
"Crunch, crunch!"
Ox Head and Horse Face actually ate the Red Embroidered Shoes like pancakes, devouring them cleanly in no time.
"Run!"
Upon seeing Ox Head and Horse Face appear, the woman in red instinctively thought of escape!
Ox Head and Horse Face are Netherworld Yin Spirits, naturally holding a certain dominion over Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charms.
Just like mice meeting a cat.
Want to run?
Too late!
The Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo had transformed into spirits, naturally not leaving empty-handed.
To Ox Head and Horse Face, the woman in red represented the purest Deceitful Qi.
There's no way to let a cooked duck fly away.
The woman in red took a step forward, madly rushing out.
With the Red Embroidered Shoes eaten by Ox Head and Horse Face like pancakes, she fled barefoot.
"Moo!"
"Neigh!"
A cow's lowing followed by a horse's neighing resounded.
The woman in red was stunned, as if frozen in place.
And then...
"Crack!"
"Crack! Crack!"
A chorus of glass-shattering sounds echoed.
The woman in red shattered piece by piece, transforming into pure Deceitful Qi.
With their weapons, Ox Head and Horse Face drew all the Deceitful Qi close, feasting greedily.
Once satiated, Ox Head and Horse Face shook once, vanishing from the spot.
At this moment, Lin Yuan could feel a sense of fullness where the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo lay on his leg.
It seems they've had their fill!
I have to say, my choice was indeed right.
In an era of spectral invasions, my choice of the Underworld Tattoo proved extremely useful.
Although, currently the power of Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charms isn't too strong.
Yet, the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo are the weakest among all my tattoos.
Even so, Ox Head and Horse Face now at this stage can almost sweep through all Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charms.
The woman in red just encountered wasn't actually weak, but under Ox Head and Horse Face, she had no chance to fight back.
Moreover, Ox Head and Horse Face didn't even truly act, resolving the issue with just a cow's lowing and a horse's neighing.
Invincible!
At this moment, Lin Yuan seems to see his path to invincibility.
