Chapter 278: Second Profession, Necromancer

The woman who had been facing away from Jiang Li was not Xiao Ning'er, but Xiao Ning'er's older sister—the red-haired woman who had previously interrogated Jiang Li.

She also had long, wine-red hair.

However, Transcendent Xiao Li was even more voluptuous than Xiao Ning'er, and her perpetually cold expression made Jiang Li feel somewhat uneasy.

He quickly stood up, positioned himself beside the sofa, and offered a bitter smile, saying, "Ning'er and I are just friends."

Transcendent Xiao Li paid no attention to this; instead, she flicked her hair, walked up to Jiang Li, and the identical perfume scent from both women caused Jiang Li to superimpose Transcendent Xiao Li's figure onto Xiao Ning'er's in his mind. His face immediately flushed, and he took two steps backward.

Transcendent Xiao Li did not press closer; instead, she stepped back two paces, sat on the sofa, took out a dagger, brought the red wine from the table, and with a "Boom!" popped the cork.

Then Transcendent Xiao Li handed the red wine to Jiang Li.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Li didn't quite understand.

Transcendent Xiao Li rolled her eyes and said, "I recall you have an ice-freezing skill; chill it!"

"This... alright."

Jiang Li had never imagined his talent could be used this way.

"That young girl shouldn't drink something cold."

The moment the words left his mouth, Jiang Li wished he could slap himself.

Such words carried a rather ambiguous meaning.

Transcendent Xiao Li merely gave him a deep look.

"Do you know? You are in huge trouble; in one week, you will face a life-or-death crisis!"

"I don't understand what you're saying!" Jiang Li said.

"Such a huge thing has happened outside, and it's targeted at you; you don't know?" Transcendent Xiao Li said, her eyes wide.

Seeing Jiang Li's face full of confusion.

Transcendent Xiao Li's face was filled with disbelief.

So she told Jiang Li the Education Bureau's decision.

Upon hearing such news, Jiang Li didn't even furrow his brow once.

This made Transcendent Xiao Li wonder in her heart: was the man before her fearless of death, or was he stupid? Could he not understand the words?

"Then you didn't come to find me today just to tell me such news, did you?" Jiang Li said.

"Isn't such news big enough?"

"It is very big, but does panicking help?"

"Or, if I know I will die in a week and must face it, is it necessary for me to be terrified?" Jiang Li said.

Transcendent Xiao Li was shocked in her heart.

She had never seen a man with such a calm attitude before.

"You are not afraid of death?" Transcendent Xiao Li asked, somewhat uncertain.

"I am afraid of death, but I might not die, right?"

Jiang Li looked at Transcendent Xiao Li.

Seeing the full confidence on Jiang Li's face, Transcendent Xiao Li swallowed back all the words of doubt she wanted to say.

She had originally intended to trick Jiang Li into revealing how he had killed the Jin Gang Five Elements Skeleton King.

But seeing Jiang Li's confident smile, she had an illusion that everything Jiang Li had told her before was true.

Jiang Li had indeed killed the Five Elements Jin Gang Skeleton King in a single strike.

Now, what Jiang Li must face is a war of attrition against reincarnated people, and most importantly, under the condition that no equipment can be brought.

Without some strength, it would be extremely difficult for Transcendent Xiao Li to believe Jiang Li would be so calm.
