The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

In the stall booked by Caiyun Catering, Lian held a kitchen knife and chopped the ribs fiercely.

This knife was filled with terrifying murderous intent, and it was frightening to look at.

"Yo yo yo~ You're just a kitchen helper, and you dare to show your teeth to the boss, you're really awesome!"

Next to Lian, Lilith was like a shrew, constantly teasing Lian.

Finally, Lian couldn't bear it anymore and cut the chopping board into pieces with one knife, causing the workbench to collapse as well.

"You are just a cousin, why are you so arrogant!"

Lilith was suddenly speechless after being ridiculed by Lian.

Just as Lian said, Lilith really had nothing to be proud of.

Neither of them is Li's sweetheart, and there will be no benefit in quarreling here.

It will only make some villain feel proud.

Feeling the two murderous auras coming from behind him, Li took off his earplugs and turned to look at Lian and Lilith.

"Are you done arguing?"

Li was responded with two fierce punches, which turned him into a panda.

The atmosphere in the kitchen was too tense. In order to avoid being targeted further, Li ran outside to relax.

When the clever little guy Katon saw Li coming out, he quickly came over to show his presence.

"Carton, I don't quite understand why you and your sister are trying to get close to me?"

Lilith stayed with Li because she really had nowhere else to go.

But Lian is different.

Even if Lian is a grateful person, if she wants to repay a favor, she only needs to give something and there is no need to go to Li in person.

Lian has a family behind her. Even if the Grand Duke's family is in decline, the heir should not be asked to personally please a commoner like Li.

"Brother-in-law, please stop hiding it. You must be no ordinary person to be able to remove the curse on me!"

If Li was a commoner in the general sense, Lian and Cotton would naturally look down on him.

But Li is a capable man.

"Although our family has been ostracized, we still have many supporters. I have asked so many people for help, but none of them could cure me. But you, my brother-in-law, have easily restored me to normal. Sometimes I even wonder if you are an old monster pretending to be a young man on purpose."

For a family that is under attack in secret, a capable person like Li is enough for Lian and Carton to spend a lot of money to win over.

Even if it means sending Lian to Li's bed.

"…I know you want me to be a helper of the family. This is something we can discuss. There's no need to keep calling me brother-in-law."

As long as Lian's family pays enough, Li doesn't mind being a disciple.

This kind of business can be done with just a little money, Lian and Carton are going a bit too far.

"It's really not necessary... But looking at my sister's current appearance, I feel very happy."

Carton also agreed that Lian didn't need to force herself to get involved with Li.

But as a younger brother, Carton was happy for his sister.

Growing up, Lian had almost no friends because of family reasons.

Cotton had contracted a strange disease since childhood and was unable to share the burden with his sister.

Lian has been under tremendous psychological pressure.

A girl who grew up stubbornly under the gaze of everyone, Lian endured too much.

In Carton's impression, Lian has never smiled, and she rarely even shows any emotions.

Standing alone in the corner and swinging the sword is almost Lian's entire life.

Following Carton's gaze, Lian was arguing with Lilith.

The two of them quarreled until their faces were red and they were out of breath.

"I have never seen such a lively sister. She is enjoying this quarrel. Did you see that the corners of her mouth are upturned?"

After Katon's reminder, Li also noticed the details on Lian.

After noticing the gazes of Li and Carton, Lian glanced over here subconsciously, and her already rosy cheeks were covered with a layer of shyness.

"If you just want to vent the stress in your heart, you can try another method."

Lee suggested that Carton take his sister to do something else.

"But I think you're nice. I can feel your integrity and kindness. If my sister must have a husband, I hope that person is you."

I thought it would take some time for Carton to adapt to his current life after he recovered.

But after communicating with Carton, Li found that he had underestimated the heir to the Grand Duke's family.

As expected of a child of an old noble family, his adaptability and depth of thought are far beyond that of ordinary people.

His eyesight towards people is also clear and bright!

"You can praise me more~"

“…Brother-in-law, you are a little too narcissistic.”

"Don't call me brother-in-law, I don't have a brother-in-law like you!"

Katon was a little confused after being suddenly scolded by Li.

"Well, since you have noticed that your sister is so pitiful, why do you still expect outsiders to help her? As her brother, I think your attitude is the most important."

Li changed the topic to Carton with just one sentence, which made Carton, who was laughing, put away his frivolous mood.

“…I also know that I should be the one supporting the family, but I have been out of touch for too long.”

Ever since Li cured Cotton's disease, Cotton has been studying hard with books every day.

In addition to studying, Cotton also needs to understand current affairs news from the past decade.

The enormous study pressure weighed on Kadon like a mountain, making him feel like he was unable to keep up with the times.

Carton felt that no matter how hard he tried, he could not keep up with the people around him.

"Nobles are not like commoners. We are born to struggle in the vortex. Without sufficient strength and ability, I will only hinder my sister."

Cotton has a very clear understanding of himself, so he will continue to serve as his sister's follower.

Carton's only thought now is to stand behind his sister and protect her well.

If one day, his sister is in danger again, Cotton will be the first to step forward and block the fatal blow for his sister.

During the brief exchange, Lee felt the bond between Lian and Carton.

Cotton is a good brother. He knows how to be grateful and care for his sister.

When Cotton called Li his brother-in-law, he was actually planning for his sister.

Carton was afraid that one day he would be gone and no one would take care of his sister.

"Li, you helped my sister last time. I believe you will not stand idly by if she is in danger again. So, please take good care of her!"

Carton's request was sincere and a little sad.

Li knew that his family was having a hard time now and might be about to collapse.

"What do you think I am? Kindergarten? Your sister is old enough, she will definitely take care of herself."

Li patted Cotton on the head and rejected his request to be his brother-in-law.

"Also, do your own thing. If you want to protect your family and your sister, you have to stand up for yourself!"

After saying this, Li got up and went back to the kitchen.

Carton sat at the dining table outside and saw how easily Lee stopped his sister and Lilith from quarreling.

"On my own? That's easier said than done..."

Just when Carton was thinking about whether he should change his target to call his brother-in-law, Carton was surprised to find that there were strange feelings flowing in the back of his head and spine.

After this strange feeling subsided, Carton found that his senses were sharper, his eyesight was better, and his fists were stronger.

"Oh my god, what did my brother-in-law do to me!"
