Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 254: Steve Chapter 252

At midnight, in the town.

Fang Mo was taking Ah Xue to the residence of Erina.

"Not really, master, are you so sure that Erina will eat essence berries?"

Ah Xue couldn't help asking Fang Mo, who was leading the way, while holding a small bamboo basket: "I've tried them too, and all I got was a mouthful of bitter taste. Anyone with a sane mind wouldn't be able to swallow it..."

"You're cursing again?"

Fang Mo clenched his fist after hearing this: "I didn't ask you to chew it, can't you just swallow it directly?"

"How can I swallow something that melts in the mouth?" Ah Xue complained with a headache: "Seriously, master, this is the hardest thing for Ah Xue to swallow. Even other things are not so hard to swallow."

"There's no other way, good medicine tastes bitter."

Fang Mo spread his hands and said: "This is all my full love for you."

"So, do you also have full love for Erina?"

Ah Xue asked back.

"Cough cough, that's different." Fang Mo immediately shrank his neck in defeat and argued in a low voice: "Playing tricks can't be considered love... Can doing things for fun be called love?"

In the midst of their conversation, the two had already arrived in front of a two-story building.

It was said that Erina's father was a doctor, and this building was his clinic in the town. Of course, the building had two floors, the first floor was used for treating people, and the second floor was where Erina and her parents lived.

"We're here."

Fang Mo patted Ah Xue's little head: "I'll leave the rest to you, Ah Xue."

After all, it was a girl's boudoir, and it wouldn't be proper for Fang Mo to break in in the middle of the night, so some things had to be left to Ah Xue to handle.

"Okay."

Ah Xue nodded and then stepped on a piece of ice, flying towards the window.

Perhaps because the girl was very cute, even when Ah Xue climbed through someone else's window, it didn't seem like she was doing something sneaky, but rather like she was doing something legitimate.

In any case, about half an hour later.

Ah Xue came out through the window with a confused Erina.

Relying on ice chunks floating in mid-air, Ah Xue brought the other person down in front of Fang Mo. However, Erina had clearly never seen magic before, and her little face was filled with shock at this moment.

"How did you bring her out?"

Seeing Erina, Fang Mo couldn't help but ask.

"I've said everything that needs to be said, master." Ah Xue seemed a bit helpless: "But she insisted on meeting you once she heard you were Jojo's master."

"Are you... that mysterious magician, sir?"

Erina looked a bit shy, but still took the initiative to speak to Fang Mo: "Jojo often mentions you to me, saying you are a very powerful person. That bad guy named Dio always bullies Jojo, and you helped him... I want to thank you in person."

"After all, I am Jojo's godfather."

Fang Mo smiled: "I also heard from Jojo that he fell in love with a girl named Erina. I was a bit curious so I came to see. It seems Jojo has good taste indeed. You are even more lovely in person than in animation... no, I mean, more lovely than what Jojo described. You are a good girl."

"You... you flatter me..."

Erina said shyly, lowering her head.

"You've already passed my test, and I can help with Jojo's old man too. You two just take care of each other." As Fang Mo spoke, he took out an enchanted golden apple from a basket beside him: "This is a meeting gift I give to my future daughter-in-law, eat it quickly."

After saying that, Fang Mo handed the enchanted golden apple to Erina.

"What is... this?"

Erina subconsciously took the enchanted golden apple, only to find its weight was beyond her expectation. She almost couldn't hold it with one hand and had to use both hands to stabilize it.

"Ever heard of Greek mythology?"

Fang Mo was still very kind to the child, now smiling as he explained: "This is the food that even the gods would fight over, the golden apple."

"This must be very valuable, right?"

Erina was stunned, then quickly shook her head and said: "No, Mr. Steve, I can't accept your gift."

"What a sensible and good child."

Fang Mo reached out and ruffled Erina's hair before explaining, "Don't worry, I have plenty of these. Just eat as much as you want, you'll become beautiful after eating them."

"Really?"

Hearing the word "beautiful," Erina was clearly tempted.

"Jojo will definitely like you even more."

Fang Mo enticed her, "If you eat this apple, you will become prettier than anyone else and your strength will also grow. No one will dare to compete with you for Jojo anymore."

After all, Erina was just a child, and since Jojo always mentioned that Fang Mo was a good person, she had no suspicions and couldn't resist biting into the enchanted golden apple. The next second, she was captivated by its taste.

It was more delicious than anything she had ever eaten. Could it really be the food of the gods?

Initially, Erina only intended to take a bite to try it, but before she realized it, she had eaten the entire enchanted golden apple, leaving only a small pure gold stem.

"I... I've eaten it all..."

Erina was stunned to see only the stem in her hand.

But soon, she felt a very strange sensation.

A cool and clear feeling kept emanating from her stomach, as if the food she had just ingested had turned into a pure and powerful energy, slowly merging into her limbs and every cell.

It was like a nearsighted person putting on glasses.

The previously blurry and chaotic world suddenly became incredibly clear.

Erina could see the dew on the distant grass tips, feel the slight moisture of the evening breeze, hear the rustling of insects under the tree roots, and even her own body seemed to be exuding an endless strength.

"What is... what's happening?"

Erina looked at her hands in amazement.

However, before she could understand what was happening, the dishonest Fang Mo suddenly summoned his stand, Steve, and quietly threw a bottle of splash-type weakness potion behind Erina's back.

Since the weakness potion wasn't a block and hadn't been handled by Fang Mo, strictly speaking, it hadn't been actualized and wouldn't really splash liquid on Erina, at most it was just a visual effect. Accompanied by a crisp sound of shattering, Erina immediately felt a wave of weakness.

"I'm so tired."

Erina's body swayed, and she almost couldn't stand: "Strange... why am I suddenly so tired..."

And at that moment.

Fang Mo immediately acted as if he was possessed by the spirit of drama, slapping his forehead and exclaiming, "Oh no, I almost forgot! The power of the golden apple is too strong for ordinary people to withstand. Oh no, what have I done, my daughter-in-law is going to perish on the spot..."

"What... What?!"

Erina was shocked as if struck by lightning and became stupefied: "Mr. Steve... You... You're joking, right?"

"Oh no, this is bad..."

Fang Mo was an old con artist, and at that moment, he pretended to be panicked and hurried, then suddenly as if he had an idea, he snatched the bamboo basket from Ah Xue's hand, took out a handful of essence berries and said, "There's no time to explain, eat these essence berries quickly!"

"Okay... okay..."

Erina was naturally panicked and quickly stuffed the essence berries into her mouth.

But the next second, an incredibly disgusting taste, like that of a highly rotten liquid corpse juice, mixed with the swill of a sewer that had been fermented for a hundred days, sulfur, and a highly concentrated fart, rushed to her brain.

Erina immediately threw up.

"Damn, don't throw up, this is the thing that will save your life."

Fang Mo also remarked upon seeing this, "Although this thing tastes disgusting, it can save your life. No worries, child, just pretend it's like eating stinky tofu. Pinch your nose and shove it into your mouth, come on, eat another one."

Erina was indeed easy to deceive, hearing Fang Mo say so, she gritted her teeth and stuffed another one into her mouth.

"Ah Xue, pinch her nose."

Fang Mo instructed Ah Xue, and then in front of Erina, he grabbed a string of essence berries and stuffed them into his mouth without changing his expression, "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, this thing isn't poison, I'll eat with you, keep it up..."

It's unclear whether it was Fang Mo's action that encouraged her.

Or if it was because Ah Xue pinching her nose played a certain role.

In the end, Erina still finished all the essence berries, and just sat on the ground like a soulless person, but only two seconds passed before she threw up again.

Perhaps it was just too disgusting, Erina couldn't help but scoop up a handful of dirty water from the mud pit, intending to rinse her mouth.

Fortunately, Fang Mo was quick to stop her.

"Isn't... the power of fate in this JOJO world so outrageous?" While saying this, Fang Mo used a Tide Amulet to get her a cup of clean water: "Can't cross the bridge with mud water to rinse your mouth, huh?"

Erina didn't speak, she grabbed the cup and quickly began to rinse her mouth.

As for Ah Xue, who had witnessed the whole process, she was now watching Fang Mo with a subtle gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Mo also noticed Ah Xue's gaze, couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"...It still has to be you."

Ah Xue couldn't help but rub her forehead and complained.

"Cough cough, anyway, the result is pretty good." Fang Mo also coughed, to be honest, tricking the child into eating essence berries was too wicked, even he felt a bit embarrassed: "Although it's a bit messy now, believe me, Erina will definitely thank me later."

"You said it yourself, gratitude comes later."

Ah Xue sighed helplessly: "As for now... Master, I suggest you apologize to this child first."

"Uh, alright."

Fang Mo nodded his head and then slowly squatted down, speaking to Erina: "I'm sorry, young lady, you might not believe what I say, but actually, I really did it for your and Jojo's sake... By the way, have you heard of divination?"

"Predicting the future?"

After rinsing her mouth, Erina felt much better, and when she heard the other party mention Jojo, she was stunned for a moment: "Did you see something related to Jojo? What happened to him?"

"He will die in the future..."

Fang Mo said.
