"Looks good, you finally did something good, Duke."
"As long as it pleases you, Mrs. Dimitrescu."
Li Ang heard a man and a woman talking, not far from him.
But he clearly remembered that he was dead. After all, he was hit head-on by a dump truck full of goods, so there was no reason for him not to die.
Could it be that modern medicine has advanced to the point where a body can be saved even if it is smashed to pieces?
Probably not.
He would rather believe that he has traveled through time.
I was thinking to myself that the conversation between the two people was still going on not far away. The accent was a bit strange and the cadence was not unpleasant, but it had a unique charm.
Li Ang tried to open his eyes to see who was speaking, but found that he couldn't do it.
It is as if there is still a thin film between the soul and the body, causing the mind to be temporarily unable to control the body.
"Madam, I think you also know that it took me a lot of effort to find him. In today's era, such an ancient and pure bloodline is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought, so..."
The man called the Duke had a flattering and philistine voice, and Li Ang could even restore his image in his mind.
Underneath the cunning, cunning, and decent clothes are insatiable greed and desire. He is either extremely fat or extremely thin, and his body is covered with expensive gold and silver jewelry. Maybe there is a gold-wire monocle clamped by his eye socket, which perfectly suits Li Ang. The stereotype of a shady businessman or evil capitalist.
"Mother Goddess Miranda didn't keep your life for you to bargain with me. I won't give you even a penny more at the price I agreed on!"
The lady decisively refuted the Duke's request for a price increase, with a hint of threat in her tone.
The Duke laughed dryly: "As you wish, madam, don't let any trivial matter affect our friendship."
Li Ang, who couldn't see with his eyes and could only 'listen', caught a key piece of information.
Miranda.
A very, very familiar name, but I just can't remember who it is.
At this time, the lady asked again: "Has the memory been cleansed? I don't want him to affect my lovely daughters."
The Duke replied: "Of course, he is as clean as a piece of white paper now. He just needs to rest for a few more days, and when the effects of the medicine are fully absorbed, he will become a perfect husband."
"I believe you again." The lady continued: "Carry him into the castle and put him next to me."
Suddenly, Li Ang felt himself being lifted up.
Although the eyes cannot see and the limbs seem to be paralyzed, the basic sense of smell, touch and other physical feedback are still there.
He knew he was placed in some kind of rectangular container.
The current season should be winter, because the air around me is quite chilly, and the goosebumps on my skin never go away.
In addition, Li Ang can always smell a bad smell.
Especially after being lifted up, the smell became stronger.
It is not the body odor caused by not taking a bath for a long time, nor is it the stench of filth, nor is it the fishy smell of fish and seafood, but a rancid smell like rotting meat.
Coupled with the conversation between the 'Duke' and 'Madam' just now, Li Ang, who had just arrived, felt quite uneasy.
But this emotion could not last long, and the sudden sleepiness instantly overwhelmed his consciousness.
After an unknown period of time, Li Ang woke up from the chaos again.
This time, the rotten smell lingering on the tip of the nose disappeared, replaced by a strong floral fragrance, mixed with a little bit of alcohol and the smell of blood...
If Li Ang guessed correctly, the complex smell came from the 'distinguished' lady.
Madam seems to be in a good mood today. She is humming a little tune and occasionally can hear the sound of turning pages. She must be reading.
However, this comfortable feeling was quickly broken by a series of chaotic footsteps.
Several black figures ran into the room, and the leader shouted excitedly:
"Mom, mom, I heard from the servants that the candidate for my future husband has already been chosen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ang felt something pressing on him, and then a few cold fingers touched his cheek.
"Oh my God, Mom, he is so beautiful!"
"It's like...just like the prince in the story, I think I have fallen in love with him!"
Madam closed the book in front of her knees, with a look of helplessness and doting on her face: "Bella, when will you learn to be a lady like your two sisters?"
Bella didn't take it seriously and continued to squeeze into the same bed with her future husband.
"Mom, we will sleep together anyway if we are late, what difference does it make if we are one day early or one day late?"
"Besides, my sisters just look like ladies, but they might be crazier than me at heart."
The two sisters were a little unhappy and wanted to argue with their sister, but the lady stopped them: "Okay, girls, be quiet."
"Where are the things I asked you to get?"
"Mother, it's here with me." The black-haired second daughter handed the palm-sized wooden box to the lady's hand.
The lady opened the lid of the box, and there was something like a syringe placed on the red velvet lining.
"Dear Mother Goddess Miranda, thank you for her gift."
Including Bella on the bed, the three daughters said in unison: "Thank you, Goddess Mother."
"By the way, Mom!" Bella suddenly thought of something and got up from Leon: "The Mother Goddess said that she will be away for a while recently. While she is away, let us pay more attention to what is going on in the village."
The lady asked: "Did the Mother Goddess say where she was going?"
Bella thought for a while: "It seems to be the United States, but I don't know exactly where I'm going, and I haven't said what I'm going to do."
The lady said disdainfully: "It's probably because of her baby daughter. Except for this Eva who has been dead for many years, no one is worthy of her making such an effort."
The topic involved the conflict between the Mother Goddess and his wife, and the three daughters did not dare to comment at will.
"That's it, girls." Madam stood up and came to the bed: "Miranda has Miranda's business, and we also have our own business."
She shook the syringe in her hand: "Does anyone want to wake up our sleeping beauty?"
"Bella?"
Bella shook her head hurriedly: "I can't, Mom, he is as beautiful as a fragile vase. I can't bear to hurt him now."
Bella, as the fiancée, refused, so naturally the two younger sisters would not stand out.
Seeing this situation, the lady had no choice but to take action herself, grabbing one of Li Ang's arms and saying, "How can it be called harm? This is a gift from the Mother Goddess!"
As he spoke, the needle pierced Li Ang's wrist.
As the lady's fingers gradually tightened, the yellow-green liquid in the syringe flowed into his blood vessels and quickly spread throughout his body.
Soon the tearing pain began to wreak havoc. It not only affected the body, but also the soul. Li Ang's facial features began to twist, his body twitched continuously, his spine swung back and forth like a snake, and his blood vessels bulged, looking ferocious. About to explode, the skin everywhere was bulging with dense small bumps one second, and then sunken in the next second.
Looking at Li Ang who was curled up in a ball due to pain, Bella couldn't help but feel worried.
"Mom, will he be okay?"
The madam was there, observing Li Ang's reaction condescendingly.
"If he dies here, it will prove that he is not qualified to receive the gift, let alone become a member of the Dimitrescu family."
In the end, she did not forget to comfort her daughter: "Relax, just die, I will help you find a better one."
Bella lowered her head in frustration: "You always say this, but this is already my favorite among the dozen choices."
"But they didn't pass the test, right?" The lady patted her daughter on the shoulder.
Compared to Bella's sentimentality, the two sisters looked at Leon writhing wantonly on the bed with great interest.
It was like the more pain he was in, the more excited they became.
Half an hour later, Li Ang finally calmed down. His clothes and bed were soaked with sweat, and his limbs were as limp as if they were boneless. Fortunately, his rising and falling chest proved that he was still alive.
Moreover, after this stimulation, the foreign soul was finally completely integrated with the body.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Look, Mom, he made it!"
Bella hugged her mother and shouted excitedly, but her two younger sisters showed a little disappointment.
The lady caressed her eldest daughter's hair with a relieved smile on her face: "Yes, he survived. Maybe we should prepare some greeting gifts for the new members of the family."
Bella looked up at her mother and answered quickly: "I want to give myself to him!"
"He is yours, you can do whatever you want." Madam said, sitting next to the bed: "But before that, I have to check his condition first."
She stretched out two fingers and opened Li Ang's eye sockets to see if his pupils reacted. She then opened his jaw and looked at his teeth like he was picking an animal.
Finally, the lady grabbed Li Ang's arm and lightly scratched the spot where the needle was with her fingernail.
Blood flowed suddenly.
The lady immediately brought the wound to her mouth and sucked hard, sucking every drop of the red blood into her mouth.
"It's fresh and delicious. The Duke really didn't lie this time."
The madam licked her lips, feeling a little unfinished, and she couldn't bear to wait patiently for the past few days.
"Mom, can you let me have a taste too?" Bella came forward, her eyes filled with desire.
"Of course." Madam smiled and gave way.
She has always been infinitely tolerant of her daughters.
Bella eagerly grabbed the arm. Seeing that the wound was beginning to heal, she became anxious and immediately opened her mouth to bite it.
The sharp canine teeth punctured the wound again, and sweet blood flowed into the mouth.
After tasting the delicious food, she gnawed and bit like crazy, occasionally sticking out her tongue to lick the missing blood.
Seeing her like this, the two younger sisters wanted to come up and take a share of the pie, but she warned her with vicious eyes and growled like a beast in her throat.
The sisters had no choice but to ask their mother for help, with a look of grievance on their faces.
At this time, the lady came out to smooth things over: "Bella, be gentle to your husband, you will almost bite his hand off."
"Also, don't lose your temper with your sisters."
Bella reluctantly stopped, but held her arms tightly with both hands: "But he is mine!"
"But you are my sister." The madam snatched the bloody arm from the eldest daughter's hand, resisting her desire and tucking it into the quilt.
"You should give in to my sister."
"Anyway, he has a very strong recovery ability after receiving the gift. What if you give some of it to your sister?"
"Have you forgotten that your two sisters always think of you whenever good things happen?"
Bella, whose mouth was full of blood, looked very troubled: "Okay, I will listen to you, but I can only give them a little bit."
As she spoke, she put her thumb and index finger together to form a fingertip universe.
"Of course, mom, you can share a little more."
Hearing what her daughter said, the lady smiled happily: "Finally, my love for you is not in vain, and you still know that you are thinking of me."
Bella was a little shy and buried her head in her mother's chest to act coquettishly.
Knowing that they would also have a share in the future, the two younger sisters were very satisfied and also rushed to get into their mother's arms.
A family of four enjoying themselves happily.
As for what Li Ang is doing at this time?
Answer: He was stunned.
