Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 145: Why me?

You are not to leave the house without my explicit approval, understand?

The panda bobbed its head in the living room.

Let me introduce you.

In the living room were the demons, Su Qingyi, the panda, the snow people, and Du Fei this was the first time they all met in one place.

Du Fei was piqued by the snow people while having no interest in the demons. He circled Mite Snow and Millie Snow a few times over. 

Once introductions were out of the way, Du Fei bolted.

The three demons went on the second floor and the panda went to study common sense in his room upstairs. Su Qingyi was handstanding, bouncing around in order to practice controlling her body. The snow people went to dutifully mind the chores.

Li Mo went to the sofa and picked the dalmatian plushie.

He kept it in the drawer for a long long time. Ye Xiaolus seemed to be out of it. Her attitude did a complete 180, ignoring him instead of attacking. She would stay put right where Li Mo left her.

Li Mo took the dalmatian plushie to his study and released her soul with a gesture.

Ye Xiaolus soul flooded the study in red.

Only this time, she quietly floated with a dull look and not an ounce of intent to strike.

Oh, her temper faded and her memories along with it, becoming a mass of pure soul power. No wonder shes so silent of late.

Its better this way. Soul power without memories is the best suited to be a Warding Shadow God.

Li Mo gestured and then he heard Ye Xiaolu speak, What am I in your eyes?

Still aware? Li Mo was amazed.

Answer me!

My mansion is missing a Warding Shadow God. You just happen to be the best choice.

Thats all?

Yes.

Hum~

The red light in the study flared but then it dimmed soon after.

Zhang Ding held me to marry me, but I never once liked him.

All men are bastards! Ye Xiaolu cursed.

Li Mo thought her memories faded along with her consciousness, but it appeared her behavior now is unlike her past self.

No, it changed. The fact she didnt jump me is the best proof.

I always thought others let me down. Everyone around me bathed in my light. They wanted to thank me but I insulted them and they could do nothing but take it!

The same went for men, replying to those that lied or were sincere in the same way. All because I was a princess in my life, destined for stardom!

But now I see clearly

That I am nothing.

You cast me in a plushie and I lashed out powerlessly. My feeble attacks never reached you. I then stopped speaking, stopped moving, but even then I got no reaction out of you.

Because I was nothing to you to begin with

I always thought of myself aloof. Only to realize I am nothing. My life was an utter failure

I dont want to attack you because I know that no matter how hard I try, I can never beat you.

I only have one request.

Speak.

Let me go

Li Mo nodded.

Its possible, but you are no longer alive. If I let you go, you will soon vanish from this world since you have no soul item to sustain you.

It is of no importance. I am dead anyway and am not afraid of dying again.

As you wish.

Li Mo gestured and Ye Xiaolus tie with the Spiritual Gathering Array was severed.

Thank you. Ye Xiaolu flew out the window.

Li Mo took the top red gold stone and ground it between his palms to fine dust. He added water and began painting.

There were special talismans that only worked if drawn with particular ingredients. And the red gold stone was such an item. 

As Li Mo was in the middle of drawing, Ye Xiaolu came back.

Youre really letting me go?

I removed all your bindings and you are free to go wherever you want.

I-is this truly what you want?

Eh?

I am Ye Xiaolu, you know!

And?

I I dont you know all men want to sleep with me?

Whitey, Jadey, Niney, Millie Snow, are a hundred times more beautiful.

Ye Xiaolu denied, Th-theyre not human. They dont count. Little Qingyi and An Yuxin are nowhere near my looks.

I have to say, you are right. But all I care about right now is to increase my strength. All other things hold no sway over me. For now at least.

Ye Xiaolu scoffed, You think youre a saint? What unswayed, when I saw you rubbing that fair girls head and neck? What do you call that?

Oh forget it. Thats not what I want to say. I thought it hard and decided to stay.

Suit yourself, but you will have to take on the job of this mansions Warding Shadow God.

Of the fox, pipa, pheasant, panda, and the chubby, who isnt stronger than me? Why not make them into watchdogs? Just why should I do it?

Theres no why here. Do it if you want to or theres the window.

In a blink, the red light in the study turned darker.

Ah, forget it. I cant beat you anyway. Ill just bear it for now. As the saying goes, revenge is never too late to dish out.

Ye Xiaolu left and was soon back through the door.

She was wearing Su Qingyis body, walking around like it was her second nature.

The lass body sure is fine. Even her chest is perky

Ye Xiaolu kneaded her chesties a few times for good measure.

Li Mo frowned.

Ye Xiaolu shot Li Mo a glare, Whats with that look? Do you know how painful it is to be a wraith? I cant feel, cant touch. Throwing me in that plushie was no different than death. Now that Im finally free, whats wrong with me coping a feel of my own body?

Do what you want for all I care.

Thats exactly what Ill do.

Ye Xiaolu shed her jacket.

Sister Lu, sister Lu, wheres my body?

Su Qingyi floated over at this particular moment.

Ahhh!
