The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#111 - No need

"Young hero!" Seeing Lu Jing open the door, the porcelain doll girl immediately reverted to her frightened state, throwing herself into Lu Jing's arms.

Lu Jing's body stiffened involuntarily, but in the end, he didn't push the porcelain doll girl away, only saying, "It's not very clean inside, or we could…"

"It doesn't matter, as long as I have you, young hero." The porcelain doll girl said with tearful eyes.

Lu Jing was helpless upon hearing this and could only bring her inside.

And just as the porcelain doll girl had said before, seeing the dead rats and bloodstains all over the floor, she didn't react at all, only looking at Lu Jing with affectionate eyes.

But soon, her face darkened again, "Does young hero not like me anymore?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because since meeting me, young hero hasn't looked at me properly. Are you disappointed with my appearance?"

"Ah… not really." Lu Jing only felt a headache coming on.

The reason he hadn't looked the porcelain doll girl in his arms in the eye was, of course, because he was worried about falling for her charm magic, like that inspector before, losing his mind.

But the next moment, he saw a new line of words appear on the wall.

—Do as she says, don't anger her.

Lu Jing was helpless and had to shift his gaze back to the porcelain doll girl's face, "It's just too messy inside. I was looking for a broom to sweep up a bit, afraid you'd be disgusted."

"I am your person, young hero. Your home is my home. How could I be disgusted with my own home?" The porcelain doll girl looked into Lu Jing's eyes, smiling again.

"As for cleaning, it's the duty of a wife like me. How dare I trouble my husband?"

After saying that, she clapped her hands twice, and a large group of fat rats ran in from outside.

Lu Jing almost grabbed his Zen staff at the sight of this, but at the last moment, he remembered the words on the wall and held back.

Then he saw the rats begin to devour the corpses of their companions on the ground, and some rats jumped onto the wall, licking the bloodstains.

Like a group of dedicated housekeepers, they were helping him clean the room.

Lu Jing really wanted to ask the porcelain doll girl if she hadn't said she was being chased by these rats earlier? And that they had bitten her man to death, but in the end, he held back.

The porcelain doll girl seemed to have forgotten that she had just been outside the door crying for Lu Jing to protect her, smiling as she said, "They are all my family. I know many people don't like them, thinking they are scary, but in reality, they are just a group of gentle and timid little darlings."

"They are more afraid of us seeing them than we are of seeing them… Of course, you have to feed them well." The porcelain doll girl giggled.

"Feed them well, with what?" Although he knew this question was terrible, Lu Jing couldn't help but ask.

"Anything is fine, leftovers, or anything else you don't need. They are very well-behaved, not picky eaters." The porcelain doll girl said, counting on her fingers.

After a pause, she added, "Of course, when they are extremely hungry, they will eat other things."

"Very good… Just stop there. I won't ask what those other things are." Lu Jing smiled wryly.

The porcelain doll girl seemed to be getting excited, and then asked, "Husband, would you like to pet them?"

After saying that, she beckoned, and a gray rat with only half a tail and sores on its back jumped into her hand.

The porcelain doll girl held the rat in front of Lu Jing like she was offering a treasure.

"No need."

As soon as Lu Jing said that, he saw the porcelain doll girl's face start to sink again, so he had to grit his teeth and endure the disgust in his heart, reaching out his hand.

He symbolically touched the rat's slimy, greasy head.

The feel… was a little better than he imagined, but even so, Lu Jing didn't want to touch it a second time.

Fortunately, the porcelain doll girl seemed very satisfied with his performance. She released the rat and sent it back to the ground, then her eyes rolled, and she spoke again.

"Husband, since we like each other so much, why not make the most of the day and get married here tonight? Then I will be your woman."

"Wouldn't that be a little too fast… Alright, I understand, not fast at all, the timing couldn't be more perfect."

Lu Jing said halfway through, seeing the porcelain doll girl about to perform her face-changing trick again, decisively changing his tune.

He was now eighty percent certain that the porcelain doll girl in front of him was not human, or at least in a possessed state like Jie Liancheng.

Otherwise, a normal person's thinking would never jump to this extent.

The first half of the sentence was about the rats, and the second half suddenly jumped to getting married.

However, seeing that the porcelain doll girl didn't seem to notice the few lines of words on the wall, Lu Jing was slightly relieved, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to think of how to smooth things over.

Hearing Lu Jing agree to marry her, the porcelain doll girl jumped up from the ground happily, then spun around in front of Lu Jing, "Great, husband, I happen to be wearing my wedding dress, let's have the ceremony now."

After completing these three bows, the porcelain doll girl scattered peanuts and beans from her pocket onto the bed.

Then she picked up the scissors from the table and cut off a lock of her hair.

Afterward, she stretched the scissors in front of Lu Jing's face.

Lu Jing subconsciously wanted to dodge, but before he could pull back his head, he felt a chill behind his head, and the porcelain doll girl had already happily tied the two locks of hair together.

How fast!

Lu Jing couldn't help but gasp, with his eyesight, he couldn't even completely see the porcelain doll girl's cut just now.

If that cut wasn't his hair, but other parts… Lu Jing didn't dare to think further.

The porcelain doll girl spoke of marriage like it was child's play, but she was unusually serious when doing these things, and there was no longer the eerie ghostliness she had when talking about her rat family earlier.

She really looked like a gentle and virtuous wife performing the ceremony with her beloved man, her eyes full of tenderness as she looked at Lu Jing.

Until the last step, when it was time to drink the nuptial wine, Lu Jing planned to find two wine glasses and pour some water to make a gesture. Unexpectedly, the next moment, he saw a particularly large rat, almost the size of a turtle, running in from outside, carrying a bowl of dark green soup, squeaking.

This time, Lu Jing's expression finally changed, because before he could even pick up the bowl, he could smell a pungent stench that almost made him throw up his dinner.

And he also saw what appeared to be the corpse of the rat he had touched earlier, the one with the broken tail, in the bowl.

"Husband, let's drink to each other." The porcelain doll girl said with a sweet smile, looking at Lu Jing with eyes full of happiness.

Lu Jing subconsciously looked up at the wall, wanting to see what the correct option was.

But then he saw the porcelain doll girl's body blocking his view, as if it were a piece of paper covering the lens, no matter how he moved his eyes, he couldn't get rid of it.

Lu Jing was terrified by the lightness she displayed, and the next moment, the porcelain doll girl had already picked up one of the bowls, saying affectionately, "What are you worried about, husband? Although you are heartless to me, I would never be willing to hurt you."
