Chapter 573 has a hidden meaning
Li Qin stood at the door of the deaf old woman's house next door, holding a basin containing bone broth, radishes, and cabbage.
Upon hearing the question coming from inside the room, Li Qin immediately replied, "It's me, Li Qin from next door."
After Li Qin spoke, the room fell into a brief silence.
After a while, the door was opened from the inside.
Then Li Qin saw the deaf old woman leaning on a cane.
Li Qin knew that the deaf old lady was faking it by using a cane, in order to make people think that she had great difficulty moving around.
In fact, the deaf old lady not only had no problems with her legs and feet, but was even quite agile.
Of course, the other party hasn't provoked Li Qin yet, and he hasn't thought about exposing the other party's pretense.
They pretended not to know anything and maintained a superficial friendly neighborly relationship.
"Oh, it's Xiao Li. What brings you to this old lady's place today?"
When the deaf old woman who opened the door saw Li Qin, her eyes narrowed and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
It has to be said that the deaf old lady's acting skills were truly superb. If anyone else were here, they would only think that the old lady in front of them was a kind and benevolent old woman.
Because the smile on the other person's face was so deceptive.
But this did not fool Li Qin.
The upgrade to godhood brought Li Qin a great boost, one of which was his five senses.
Although the deaf old woman had a smile on her face, Li Qin could clearly sense the deep malice hidden within her.
There is actually another thing that can prove this point.
That was when the deaf old woman squinted; although she had a smile on her face, her eyes were as deep and dark as a still well.
There was not a trace of smile or goodwill.
However, Li Qin didn't care about this.
Anyway, he only intended to maintain a superficial neighborly relationship with the old lady in front of him.
Most people, however, showed absolutely no interest.
Li Qin smiled gently and said, "Grandma, it's snowing and getting colder today, so I made some bone broth at home and thought I'd bring you a bowl to try."
As he spoke, Li Qin handed the still-filled basin in his hand to the deaf old woman.
Looking at the rich aroma of the bone broth in front of her, the deaf old woman couldn't help but open her eyes a little.
A hint of longing flashed in his eyes.
However, a moment later, a strong look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin immediately felt a little puzzled.
He knew that this old lady had wanted to eat his cooking countless times, but he had never given the deaf old lady the chance before.
This time, they came to our door of their own volition, so why is the deaf old lady dissatisfied?
At this moment, Li Qin was genuinely curious about what the deaf old woman was thinking.
Then a strange light flashed in his eyes;
"Soul-stealing and mind-grabbing!"
Li Qin's fingers, which were holding the large basin, suddenly twitched slightly.
Then the spell was cast.
Originally, Li Qin could only grasp the advanced spell of Soul Seduction, and could not even be considered an expert.
However, as his divine status was upgraded, Li Qin also experienced a significant improvement, with this advanced spell reaching level six in one step.
Now he can not only use Legilimency silently, but he can even simplify the entire action to just moving a finger.
[You have absolutely no filial piety. How could I possibly want to eat the soup made from these bone scraps? I was originally planning to come to your house for hot pot and meat...]
The target of Li Qin's curse was the deaf old woman in front of him.
The moment the curse landed on the other person, Li Qin heard their inner thoughts.
After hearing this, a strange look flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He didn't expect that the deaf old woman was quite greedy; she actually wanted to come to his house later and get a free hot pot meal.
If this old lady came to his door while he was having hot pot with his classmates, Li Qin would really have a hard time refusing her.
However, now that he knew the deaf old woman's thoughts in advance, Li Qin naturally wouldn't let her have her way.
"That old bastard with ill intentions actually wants to come to my house for hot pot? He's dreaming! I'd be lucky if he brought me some bone broth."
Li Qin stared intently at the deaf old woman in front of him, his face still bearing a smile, seemingly unaffected by his inner thoughts.
Li Qin didn't want to waste time on the deaf old woman.
Without waiting for a response, he squeezed past the deaf old woman.
"Grandma, you don't need to do it yourself if you have difficulty moving around. I'll take care of it for you."
As Li Qin spoke, he took a large bowl from the chopping board in the deaf old woman's house and placed it on the table.
Then Li Qin poured the remaining bone broth from the basin into the large bowl.
"Grandma, it's inconvenient for you to cook by yourself, so I'll leave you some extra food. That way, if you can't finish it all in one meal, you can just reheat it a little for the next meal."
Li Qin quickly settled the matter and then smiled and nodded to the deaf old woman.
It was only then that the deaf old woman realized what was happening.
It wasn't that the deaf old woman was shocked by Li Qin's actions, but rather because of the soul-capturing technique Li Qin had used on her earlier.
The deaf elderly woman may experience brief periods of absent-mindedness.
By the time she came to her senses, Li Qin had already finished everything.
The deaf old woman moved her mouth, instinctively wanting to say something.
But Li Qin, who knew her whereabouts and thoughts, was not about to give her a chance;
"Grandma, you don't need to be so polite. I don't have anything else to offer, except for my meager cooking skills."
Consider this an opportunity for the old lady to try my cooking skills.
After saying this, he prepared to leave;
"I have some things to do at home, and a few colleagues are coming over later, so it will definitely be noisy. In order not to disturb the old lady, I will close the door tightly."
If this has disturbed you further, then I can only ask for your understanding.
Upon hearing this, the deaf old woman, who was about to say something, froze on the spot.
Li Qin's words, if spoken normally, seem to make no problem.
However, the deaf old woman still harbored other thoughts in her mind.
Therefore, when Li Qin's words reached her ears, they were immediately translated into something else entirely;
The gist of it is that a colleague will be coming over to my house later, and to prevent you, an uninvited guest, from showing up, I will close the door beforehand.
If you had any self-awareness, you wouldn't have come here looking for trouble.
Of course, if you shamelessly show up at my door, I won't open it. Don't blame others if you lose face then.
However, after a short while, the deaf old woman began to wonder if she was overthinking things.
After all, she never showed any intention of coming over.
She even attributed it all to coincidence.
Just as she was about to think that, Li Qin, who had walked to the door, seemed to remember something and turned back to speak to the deaf old woman again.
"By the way, ma'am, it's snowing outside today, and the ground is very slippery. Your legs aren't very strong either, so it's best not to go out unless it's urgent."
Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if you accidentally got injured.
After Li Qin finished speaking, he walked out of the deaf old woman's house.
They also thoughtfully helped the other person close the door.
