Free Web NovelAfter tying up the girl, Lu Yibei returned upstairs and lay on the bed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
A mythological creature with close ties to Jumang was actually subdued by him just like that?
This was simply too easy, could there be a trick?
Or, should he just take advantage of her inability to resist and stab her a few more times to avoid future trouble?
As Lu Yibei thought, his gaze slowly drifted towards the Sang Dagger that had been picked up and placed on the bedside table, his eyes slightly narrowed, and for a moment, wickedness rose within him.
...
Holding the Sang Dagger, leaning against the wall, Lu Yibei tiptoed towards the stairs.
Going down, he had just reached the middle of the stairs when he suddenly stopped. His eyes, which had been silent for a long time due to the power that erupted from the girl's body, seemed to have recovered enough strength during this period of silence and began to feel slightly hot again.
A bad premonition slowly rose in his heart.
Standing still on the stairs, his vision suddenly blurred, and the next moment, the scene in his sight began to distort as if melted by high temperature. A few seconds later, it quietly dissipated like clouds and mist blown away by the wind.
When did the lights turn on?
The pitch-black apartment suddenly became bright in an instant. Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, secretly cursing inwardly.
She didn't lift the illusion just now. Everything I saw was what she wanted me to see.
Now I'm in trouble, big trouble is coming. She won't retaliate against me, will she?
No, if she wanted to retaliate against me, she would have done it on the spot. There must be some reason she didn't, so I'm safe for now.
Lu Yibei thought, silently tucking the Sang Dagger in his hand into his waist, restraining the strong unease in his heart, and continued walking down as if nothing had happened.
Walking downwards, as soon as the scene of the living room came into view, Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment.
He saw several pillows placed on the sofa, wrapped tightly with network cables, vaguely outlining a human shape. Anyone who did this must not be thinking straight.
Lu Yibei felt his cheeks slightly flush when he recalled the scene where the girl watched him foolishly tying up the pillows, strongly holding back her laughter.
Embarrassing, truly f*cking embarrassing, but even if it's embarrassing, I can't reveal it!
With a feeling of apprehension, Lu Yibei walked towards the living room in one breath. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw the girl's figure.
She had already taken off her bath towel and changed back into her original emerald green long dress. She had cleaned up the broken glass on the windowsill and was sitting by the window, using the faint moonlight to grind First Light Spring Wind Curse into powder and sprinkle it on her hideous wounds.
The black mask was placed beside her. The girl's collar was slightly open, her delicate collarbone extending all the way to her shoulder, outlining a shallow, intoxicating curve, and her chest was wrapped in a binder, vaguely revealing rounded curves.
Her ink-green long hair was scattered behind her, the tips swaying gently with the breeze. Her fair legs stretched out from under the long dress, one knee curled up on the windowsill, the other hanging down casually, occasionally swinging gently.
The powder of the crushed First Light Spring Wind Curse fell on the girl's wounds, accompanied by soft "hissing!" sounds, emitting wisps of green smoke that lingered around her like mist.
Lu Yibei looked at the girl, feeling as if he had suddenly drunk a pot of fine peach blossom wine, and for a moment, he had the illusion of being slightly tipsy.
But soon, he came back to his senses without revealing anything.
From a certain perspective, she was a urban legend. If a urban legend wasn't good-looking, would it still be called a urban legend?
Thinking this, Lu Yibei restrained his impulse to continue looking at the girl and walked straight towards the pillows on the sofa.
Noticing that Lu Yibei had returned, the girl stopped her actions, frowned, and secretly watched his every move.
Lu Yibei walked straight to the sofa, staring at the bound pillows on the sofa, and said expressionlessly, "Are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me, I... I'll help you think of a way, but I can't untie you."
Hearing Lu Yibei's words, the girl was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but let out a "Pfft!" of laughter.
Is this person perhaps an idiot? the girl thought with a smile.
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that the girl didn't speak, Lu Yibei said in a pleading tone, "Don't stay silent! # Nоvеlight # I actually came to apologize to you. I know you don't mean me any harm, but you are immensely powerful. Even if you just wave your hand, I would get hurt, wouldn't I?"
"I resisted out of necessity. It's a bit embarrassing to say, but I'm extremely afraid of death, ridiculously afraid."
"Hahaha—!" The girl finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, letting out a string of clear laughter like a mountain spring, but she still didn't speak.
I'll just quietly watch you act cool.jpg
Hearing the sound, Lu Yibei was overjoyed. According to Shui Ge, to appease an angry woman, as long as you make her laugh, you've already succeeded halfway. The remaining half depends on spending money.
Actually, spending money isn't the key. Because from the moment you make the girl laugh, there isn't much resentment left in her heart. The main thing is to give her a way out by giving her a gift, allowing her to "reluctantly" forgive you.
The girl is indeed an old urban legend, but she's also a girl! Shui Ge's theory should work.
Lu Yibei thought, and sighed softly, "Sigh, how about this? Let's make a deal. Your injury was caused by me, and I will find a way to compensate you, but you can't hold a grudge against me and retaliate. How does that sound?"
"Okay, you said it!" the girl blurted out.
She did urgently hope for her injuries to recover as soon as possible. She had stayed in Hua City long enough and had to return to Taoyuan quickly. Although she had left some power in Taoyuan before she left, she always felt uneasy.
But now that she was injured, if she traveled with injuries, being targeted by the Night Watch or some urban legend, or even some miscellaneous organizations, it was inevitable that she would encounter some danger. If she accidentally capsized in the gutter, it would be troublesome.
In fact, there were quite a few people coveting the core of her urban legend body. Countless eyes were watching in the dark! Before, they didn't act because they couldn't defeat her, but now it was hard to say.
Compared to risking the journey, it was better to stay here for now. Anyway, this kid looked timid, and his heart wasn't bad either.
While the girl was thinking, Lu Yibei continued to stare at the pillows on the sofa and said, "Since you agreed, then I'll..."
"What 'then I'll'? Stop pretending, I already removed the illusion!" the girl said, snapping her fingers.
"Snap—Snap—!"
"Look over here, look over here. Looking at someone when you talk is basic courtesy, isn't it?"
Lu Yibei, "..."
She removed the illusion long ago? That means she's been watching me talk to the pillows like an idiot the whole time?
This, this is awkward!

Lu Yibei, quickly use your clever little brain to think of a way to resolve this situation!
Should he pull out the kitchen knife from his waist to defend himself and stab her a few times while she was unprepared, or should he turn around and kowtow to her for mercy, die with dignity, or live without dignity, when the girl spoke.
"Little friend, I actually like you very much. Your mind is quick, and you know when to advance and retreat. But, can you explain why you tied me up?"
As soon as these words came out, sweat instantly appeared on Lu Yibei's temples.
"I... I wasn't..." Lu Yibei hesitated, unable to come up with a reasonable explanation for a moment.
Should he say he thought she would like being tied up?
She's a urban legend, not a pervert.
"Heh, sweating, aren't you? Stinky little brother!" The girl chuckled and said, "Alright, stop racking your brains over there. I don't want to hear your garbage talk."
"I know what you're thinking. You're worried that I'll be harmful to you, so you want to control me while I'm weak, right?"
"Not bad! You have good ideas. This kind of mindset is necessary to survive in this world full of crises. I, this Miss, admire people who work hard to live."
"You also didn't take advantage of my weakness to stab me a few more times, so you're still kind..."
As the girl spoke, she jumped down from the windowsill, walked over, and heavily patted Lu Yibei's shoulder.
Lu Yibei winced from her pat and silently complained in his heart, I knew you were just saying nice things. I bet you're about to say "but".
The girl paced in front of Lu Yibei and said with a smile, "But, you got the wrong target. Do you think I, this Miss, who has lived for thousands of years, would be subdued by your little tricks?"
Although for ninety percent of those thousands of years, she was just a tree...
"What's more, I wasn't your enemy in the first place. The people from the Night Watch are." The girl said, "I didn't see it yesterday, but you, this kid, actually raise little ghosts at home?"
"Do you know that raising urban legend is strictly forbidden by the Night Watch? You, on the other hand, as a temporary worker of the Night Watch, not only raised them, but raised five at once. Aren't you afraid of being backfired upon?"
Was she talking about the urban legend in the apartment? Lu Yibei was stunned. Have they returned? Why didn't he see them?
Lu Yibei thought, looking at the girl with surprise and uncertainty, "You... them..."
"Of course I ate them! I was so severely injured, didn't I have to find a way to recover?" the girl said, gently licking her pink lips with her tongue.
Lu Yibei's face turned slightly pale, and an inexplicable burst of anger rose in his heart. Just as he was about to get angry, he heard the girl say, "I'm kidding, I just locked them in the refrigerator."
"I'm not bullying the weak here!" The girl shrugged and said, "I was just healing over there! They suddenly broke in. Who knows what they were doing? Of course I had to lock them up first!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
"Alright, we've made things clear. Let's talk about the terms now?" the girl said.
"In the next few days, you find a way to help me collect five urban legend body cores to recover from my injuries..."
"Five?!" Lu Yibei's eyes widened as he looked at the girl, and for a moment, he had the impulse to fight her to the death.
He had managed to get four urban legend body cores before, almost losing his life in the process. Now the girl was asking for five right away, like a lion opening its mouth wide. He might as well fight her instead.
"Don't get excited! Sister didn't ask for a specific grade." The girl patted Lu Yibei's shoulder to comfort him, "What's more, I won't take them for free. While I'm healing, if you have any questions about Spiritual Energy or urban legend, you can ask me anytime. I know a lot."
Lu Yibei was a little tempted, he frowned and retorted, "More than the si ye book?"
"What I know, with your temporary worker's authority, you definitely won't see on the si ye book." The girl smiled and raised her eyebrows, "How about it, want to cooperate with me? It's a good deal." freewёbnoνel.com
He felt like there was a trick in this? Lu Yibei frowned, "What if I refuse?"
The girl looked at him quietly for a long time, then sighed helplessly, "Sigh, then there's nothing I can do. I can only drag you to the Night Watch. I'm a wanted criminal. You not only harbor me, but also secretly raise little ghosts. At worst, we'll die together."
This kid is so timid, a little scare will definitely make him compromise. the girl thought.
Damn it, you're thousands of years old and still playing dirty? Lu Yibei cursed inwardly and said, "You're ruthless! However, five urban legend body cores are not a small number. I can't guarantee when I can collect them all."
"I know, I didn't expect a weakling like you to collect them quickly either." The girl pouted and said, "So, I have another condition."
Here it comes! The ugly nature of the urban legend is exposed! A series of traps, a trick within a trick, the unequal treaty that humiliates the nation and forfeits sovereignty is about to be signed today!
I knew she wasn't that kind. What is this? A rogue urban legend latching onto me? Lu Yibei thought, and said sternly, "Tell me first? If it's too much..."
"Not too much, not too much!" The girl heard this and waved her hand to interrupt, "I just want you to help me find a urban legend in Hua City. When you find her, you don't need to do anything, just come and tell me where she is."
"And, I'll find someone to help you look for her together."
The girl was a mythological creature who hadn't fallen yet, a trustworthy deity. Since she had accepted Lin Yiqi's request, she would definitely find a way to respond.
This... doesn't seem difficult? Lu Yibei thought and nodded slightly, "Then tell me, what does that urban legend look like?"
"About..." The girl recalled Lin Yiqi's description and gestured with her hands in mid-air.
Looking at the girl's gestures, Lu Yibei tilted his head, a little confused.
What was she gesturing? A spherical urban legend? A winter melon urban legend?
"About a short winter melon around 1.5 meters tall, looks like an underdeveloped Little Girl of fourteen or fifteen, with long pinkish-white hair, or maybe red hair, wearing, wearing..."
Lu Yibei, "..." Why does the more I listen, the more I feel something is wrong?
"Oh right! Wearing a men's Coat similar to the little ghosts you raised, with a very nasty and brutal personality, the kind that kills without blinking."
"How about it? The features are quite obvious, right? With a little effort, it shouldn't be hard to find."
It can be confirmed, she is most likely looking for me! Lu Yibei looked at the girl expressionlessly and said lightly, "Obvious, it's really too obvious."
I guarantee, you won't find her in this lifetime! Lu Yibei thought fiercely, and then started to worry again.
But, staying with her, how can I avoid being discovered every evening?
If I stay too long, when I can't control the transformation next time, how should I fool her?
This is difficult!
