Shen Baiwei finally couldn't help but question Lu Yibei about summoning the big truck.
"No time to explain, get in the car!" Lu Yibei leaned out halfway from the driver's seat, waving at Shen Baiwei, seemingly with no intention of explaining the truck's origin to her.
Did you suddenly summon this broken thing just to play this broken meme? Shen Baiwei really wanted to retort to Lu Yibei like that, but Lu Yibei didn't give her a chance to retort at all, directly reaching out, grabbing Shen Baiwei's wrist, and pulling half of her body into the car window.
Half of her body suspended outside the car window, half of her body sprawled in Lu Yibei's arms, Shen Baiwei couldn't speak at all, only continuously letting out "woo woo" moans.
After she struggled awkwardly for a while and finally managed to climb into the passenger seat, before she could even catch her breath, Lu Yibei stepped on the accelerator, sped off for a bit, then did a drift, positioning the car horizontally in front of Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming.
"Are you planning to continue riding horses, or get in my car?" Lu Yibei rested her hand on the car window, leaning out slightly, and asked the two.
From the moment Lu Yibei summoned this massive, iron-clad creature with no signs of life and a low roar, Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming had been in a state of bewildered fear, instinctively keeping their distance from Lu Yibei's big truck.
Where had they ever seen such a sight?
Even the legendary Shaman King's three-headed beast mount probably wasn't this terrifying, right?
So, when Lu Yibei invited them, they instinctively shook their heads.
Dare not get on, dare not get on!
"Rejected?" Lu Yibei shook her head. "Ding ding! Too bad, this is a multiple-choice question!"
As her voice fell, her gaze shifted to the warhorses beneath Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming, her eyes meeting theirs for a moment, then she raised her hand, placed her fingers to her lips, and blew a sharp, high-pitched whistle.
"Whoosh—!"
Along with the whistle, the two warhorses immediately became agitated, their four hooves flailing, jumping wildly in place. When Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming couldn't steady themselves and fell from their saddles, the two warhorses seized the opportunity, their bodies suddenly jolting, and they flung the two off.
Thus, the figures of the two youths, after tracing two graceful arcs in mid-air, heavily slammed onto the sandy ground, letting out two muffled grunts.
Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming were so disoriented by the jolt and fall that their bones felt like they were about to fall apart. After struggling a few times, before they could even get up, they heard Lu Yibei's voice.
"Oh dear, what should we do? Your horses don't seem to like you very much! How will you get to Yumen Pass now?"
"Tsk tsk, if you don't have horses to help, and you walk on foot, if you encounter enemies on the way, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away, right?"
"It looks like now you can only rely on my big baby to reach your destination smoothly!"
Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming climbed up from the ground, checked the iron boxes on their backs, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the boxes were intact. Then they looked at the warhorses that had run far away, then at the big iron lump in front of them, and finally their gaze fell on Lu Yibei, staring fixedly at her.
What's wrong with her, suddenly going crazy?
General, why did you send such a person to accompany us? Zhu Sanming and Li Tieniu were full of resentment, but looking at Lu Yibei's delicate and charming face, they felt as if they were enchanted, unable to get angry.
It was as if getting angry at her was a great sin. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
It was just like the demonesses in stories who bewitch people's minds, making them dizzy and unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Withdrawing their gazes and calming their emotions, Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming exchanged glances, made a compromise, and obediently approached the big truck.
As Lu Yibei said, without warhorses, it would be almost impossible for them to cross the perilous Gobi Desert and deliver the two iron boxes back to Yumen Pass.
Standing on both sides of the big truck, they placed their hands on the edge of the car window, used it to jump up, and were about to climb into the car through the window.
Shen Baiwei had gotten in that way just now; they had seen it...
However, before they could climb into the car, they heard Lu Yibei's voice again.
"Wait! The look in your eyes just now made Sister a little unhappy, so I've changed my mind. We're about to set off now, and guess who I'm not going to take with me?"
"It's you two! If you don't want to be left behind... then beg me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming's bodies stiffened, their brows furrowed into a knot.
Although the General highly praised and trusted the abilities of the two Miss Shen, the Miss Shen who was speaking looked at most just barely past her coming-of-age, even younger than their own sisters at home. How could they possibly bring themselves to beg her?
That's what the two young men thought, but circumstances were stronger than their will. Finally, after a moment of silence, they squeezed out two words from between their teeth.
"We beg you."
"That's it?" Lu Yibei pouted, "Say it more completely. Who are you begging, for what, and by the way, watch your attitude!"
After a long pause, Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming's voices, faint as mosquito hums, rang out one after another.
"Please, Sister, take us to Yumen Pass..."
"Louder! Is that your attitude when you're begging?" Lu Yibei said coldly, "Don't they feed you in your camp?"
"Please, Sister, take us to Yumen Pass!" The two youths said in unison.
"Not enough! Say that as long as you can get to Yumen Pass, you'll do anything for me!"
Under the guidance of Lu Yibei's magical words, as if subjected to some kind of bullying, the two youths' wills reached the verge of collapse, and they cried out with a hint of a sob.
"Please, Sister, take us to Yumen Pass! As long as you can take us to Yumen Pass, we will do anything for Sister!"
"Very good!" Lu Yibei was finally satisfied. The core of her Demoness Seed trembled with pleasure. She nodded and said, "Get in the car! Remember what you just said!"
Shen Baiwei watched Lu Yibei askance the entire time. When she saw the two youths, with slightly reddened eyes, climb into the car through the window in a humble manner, she couldn't help but rub her slightly throbbing temples.
Although... was it a bit too much to use the authority of the Demoness Seed to deal with them?
It was like a battle-hardened femme fatale flirting with innocent youths who had never been in love; the combat power was simply not on the same level.
As Shen Baiwei was thinking, Lu Yibei turned her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said faintly, "Cutie, do you want to try it too?"
Shen Baiwei froze for a moment, her head shaking instantly like a rattle-drum.
"That's good!" Lu Yibei muttered to herself, and as she spoke, she floored the accelerator. The big truck roared out with the engine's hum, rushed up a dirt slope over a meter high, took off into the air, and after hovering for a second or two, its four wheels slammed onto the ground with a "boom."
The entire big truck trembled, as if it would fall apart at any moment, emitting a low "roar" from within.
Along with the violent shaking, there was a chaotic clatter of colliding bodies from the back seat, and Shen Baiwei's forehead also hit the front passenger dashboard.
Shen Baiwei readjusted her posture, fastened her seatbelt, and while rubbing her forehead, questioned Lu Yibei, "Damn it! Do you even know how to drive?"

Although there were no so-called modern roads in this Gobi Desert from a thousand years ago, and the road surface was often rugged, it was understandable for the car to be a bit bumpy, but the Disaster's way of driving was a bit too wild.
Lu Yibei thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Does playing the entire 'Need for Speed' and 'Forza Horizon' series count?"
"I mean a driver's license, a driver's license, you bastard! Do you have a driver's license?" Shen Baiwei fumed.
"Don't worry!" Lu Yibei turned her head to look at Shen Baiwei, her expression blank, "I haven't passed Subject Two yet!"
Shen Baiwei, "???"
Where are the traffic police? Officer, please do something about her!
What? There were no traffic police in Yumen Pass over a thousand years ago?
Then never mind, my apologies.
Shen Baiwei was complaining in her heart, and the next second she suddenly widened her eyes, her pupils trembling.
Under her gaze, Lu Yibei actually took her hands off the steering wheel, squatted on ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the driver's seat, and then with a slight push of her legs, she flew out of the car window.
Her graceful figure lightly traced an arc in mid-air, landing steadily on the roof of the car with a soft thud.
Head held high, chest out, hands on her hips, gazing straight ahead, letting the howling wind pull her silver-white long hair into a dance, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yibei's mouth.
Who said the driver had to stay in the car?
If you can't even control a summoned vehicle at will, what kind of urban legend authority, known as the Knight's Name, is that?
This is the correct way to open the 【Heroic Spirit Mark - Roland's Horn】 Spirit Mark!
Driver has exited the cabin, everything is normal — these words flashed through Shen Baiwei's mind. She suddenly began to panic, fumbling to grip the steering wheel, and then to her surprise, found that the steering wheel seemed to be out of control, completely unresponsive.
Shen Baiwei, "!!!"
She originally thought that Disaster just suddenly had a crazy idea and wanted them to get in the car, but she never expected that Disaster actually wanted to torture them?
Damn it! Is the 'Disaster' in Disaster referring to a car accident? Shen Baiwei thought resentfully, her peripheral vision inadvertently sweeping the rearview mirror, seeing the youths in the back seat.
The two bruised and swollen youths looked normal, as if they had no idea what was happening.
----
In fact, Lu Yibei's sudden summoning of the big truck was influenced by the core of the Demoness Seed, but she wasn't entirely oblivious to the consequences.
On the contrary, this was actually a decision she made after careful consideration.
First, it's unrealistic to completely suppress the restless core of the Demoness Seed in a short time. The more it's suppressed, the more it will cause harm to the body.
They were about to reach the Yumen Pass city wall, and there might be a battle. If the problem of the restless Demoness Seed core couldn't be properly resolved then, it would likely lead to big problems.
Prevention is better than suppression. At this time, it's better to appropriately release the innate authority of the Demoness Seed core.
And there were roughly only three ways for Lu Yibei to release her innate authority.
The first was to get close to the strange snake summoned by Shen Baiwei's Spirit Mark authority, which was too disgusting and came with unknown risks, so it was not even considered.
The second was to send Li Tieniu and Zhu Sanming on their way, letting them watch helplessly as the two iron boxes failed to reach Yumen Pass, plunging into deep despair. This meant inflicting pain on others, simply put, torture. She couldn't actually kill them, so she could only torture them a little.
As for the third, it was to create chaos tinged with madness, such as... summoning a big truck to rampage?
However...
Only children make choices; Lu Yibei, of course, wanted it all!
Summoning a big truck to rampage directly, and incidentally tormenting Shen Baiwei and the two youths' mental state, wouldn't that be killing three birds with one stone?
After an outburst, she clearly felt that the pain she was enduring had lessened. Even Shen Baiwei, under high-intensity mental stimulation, seemed more energetic than before, wasn't she?
Although this approach only treated the symptoms and not the root cause, it was like taking ibuprofen when you had a cold and headache—it felt good, right?
Secondly, from Shen Baiwei agreeing to Dragon Xiang's request to escort the two iron boxes back to Yumen Pass, to Shen Baiwei falling from her horse, to discovering that the strange snake summoned by Shen Baiwei's Spirit Mark authority was affected by the chaotic black lines emerging from her body, and finally to sensing that invisible, chaotic, unknown gaze...
Lu Yibei vaguely realized that the trajectory of this reloaded past might have been inevitably affected and would not be able to follow its original path to the end. Even if they wanted to pull the course of various events back on track, they would surely fail.
Lu Yibei had a strong intuition that the entity secretly observing her and Shen Baiwei would definitely stop them.
She had experienced something similar once before, in the underground air-raid shelter of Mountain City, when she tried to disrupt the Maitian God Offspring's descent ritual.
At that time, she had Ju Meng by her side, and Old man Zhang Huainan, who controlled the Zixiao Platform, provided remote support, barely saving her life. But now, being in a time a thousand years ago...
Oh, right!
At this time, Smelly Girl should still be a big tree with only a hazy consciousness but unable to move freely, right?
If I go to Peach Garden now and cultivate her into someone who is obedient and compliant to "Lu Yibei"... Wait! No, now is not the time to think about such things.
Mid-thought, Lu Yibei shook her head, shaking out the messy thoughts, and pulled her mind back on track.
In short, without external help, if she recklessly resisted, she might even attract inexplicable dangerous urban legend.
For example, the huge black shadow that appeared at the Daoist's car accident scene three years ago, in Wang Yingying's memory, and in Mountain City.
Although Lu Yibei could choose to stick to what she believed was right in the face of its power, it could also choose to kill Lu Yibei on the spot...
Considering all these factors, Lu Yibei felt that she could no longer see the "cutscene" of Yumen Pass's original ending!
So what's the point of playing?
Of course, it's about doing whatever feels good!
It's like playing a game where you already know that a perfect ending can't be achieved in this playthrough, so you just choose to give up, finish the game quickly, and start a second playthrough.
Furthermore... what would happen if she submitted to the will of that huge black shadow, or perhaps an even more terrifying unknown existence?
Facing the strong wind, this thought flashed through Lu Yibei's mind, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
