I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends

Peony Street.

Du Sixian didn't dream tonight. Lately, she had gotten used to entering that strange dream world every night to practice Spells, so much so that when the dream didn't arrive as scheduled, it made her restless. She only slept for two or three hours before waking up.

After her body was strengthened by Spiritual Energy, even a short period of sleep was enough for Du Sixian to recover her energy.

Waking up full of energy in the dark room, with silence outside the window, the first thing she thought of was practice.

Practice is my own business after all. Even if that strange dream has an auxiliary effect, I can't rely on it too much.

What if the strange dream doesn't appear again in the future? Du Sixian thought. I can't slow down my practice progress because of this.

Earlier today, she heard An Qing say that once she completely mastered the first Spell, she would start adding Body Technique, another training subject of the "Trash Stream."

At that time, learning Body Technique and Spells together would inevitably put a lot more pressure on her.

So, I have to push myself! Du Sixian lightly clenched her pink fist. Sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you won't know how powerful your potential is! Come on, Du Sixian!

Holding the scroll, she took advantage of the night, pushed open the window, and leaned against it, hoping the cool breeze would invigorate her.

Outside the window, Peony Street under the night sky, a thin mist drifted over the ancient street, and yellowing willow leaves rustled down in the cool breeze, covering the slightly damp bluestones.

Du Sixian was lost in thought looking at the scenery. Just then, a crisp bell sound rang in her ears. Following the sound, a ethereal girl walked gracefully from the end of the street.

She wore a white short skirt with strange Spirit Marks printed on the edges, walking barefoot on the bluestones, like a peony blooming quietly in the night.

It's her? She lives nearby?

Who exactly is she? A celestial being? A monster?

No, none of that matters. What matters is, with a Miss like this existing in the world, this little celestial being is living under a lot of pressure!

Du Sixian was stunned. She instantly recognized the person who had appeared in the Night Watch when she was drawing Spirit Marks, the girl so beautiful she made her feel ashamed of herself.

Just as she was watching the girl, the girl also noticed her presence and cast her gaze from afar.

Sensing the girl's gaze, Du Sixian was slightly startled. Inadvertently, the scroll in her hand fell and rolled all the way to the girl's feet.

The girl paused for a moment, bent down to pick up the scroll, then lightly tapped the ground with her toe. Accompanied by the crisp, pleasant sound of the bells on her ankle colliding, she floated up and arrived beside Du Sixian.

"Miss, you dropped something," the girl said.

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, and a strange floral scent drifted over. She smiled charmingly, a smile that seemed to make the moonless night instantly filled with brilliant moonlight.

"......"

Du Sixian silently took the scroll from the girl's hand, turned around to put it away, and turned back. She was just about to ask the girl if she had found the person she was looking for earlier, but found that the girl had disappeared at some point.

Looking at the empty street under the night sky, Du Sixian felt her cheeks burning. It felt like a hallucination, yet there was a feeling like first love.

Du Sixian, "......"

I'm not pretending anymore, I'll be honest, I admit I was charmed.

But why does this scene feel so strange?

Du Sixian frowned, and words like "Chapter 24: Wang Po Accepts Bribes and Talks of Romance, Yun Ge Is Indignant and Causes a Scene in the Tea House" involuntarily appeared in her mind, and her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

......

In the early morning, the rising sun lifted the veil of night, illuminating the land.

When Lu Yibei returned to Jingyi Apartment Complex, he was almost stopped by the security guard at the entrance. His appearance was simply too unique.

He was bare-chested on the upper body, wearing a pair of ripped shorts with some burn marks on the lower body, and carrying a strange wooden box with him.

The clothes he got from Professor Ma were made of ordinary fabric after all, and simply couldn't withstand the force of his body restoring itself. He experienced a clothes-bursting moment, and he looked like he was cosplaying the Incredible Hulk.

Fortunately, the property auntie, who had once been charmed by Shui Ge, appeared and confirmed his identity as an owner, allowing him to enter the complex smoothly.

Without much delay, Lu Yibei walked through the complex and returned to his door, impatiently knocking on the door.

"Dong dong dong—Dong dong dong—!"

After Lu Yibei knocked twice, he vaguely heard footsteps behind the door. Immediately after, the door was pushed open a crack, revealing a pair of emerald-like eyes with a hint of laziness.

"You rogue! Where did you go fooling around last night? You're only coming back now. Do you know how scared Sister was being home alone?" Ju Meng said with a resentful whine as she pushed the door open.

Lu Yibei, "......" Something's not right! Very not right! Why is her style so strange?

At that moment, the morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the entire room.

Ju Meng's porcelain-like face seemed to be plated with a thin layer of gold in the sunlight. Her soft long hair was casually draped, and one hand rubbed her sleepy eyes.

She was wearing an oversized white T-shirt that she must have rummaged out from somewhere, with the big red words "Don't want to work" written on it.

A gentle breeze blew, and the T-shirt, worn as a short skirt, fluttered up and down, revealing her smooth, long legs. Her pink, tender feet stepped on the cold floor, slightly turned inward as if shy.

Lu Yibei, "......"

He stared at Ju Meng for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered something, and his expression darkened slightly.

"Why are you wearing my clothes? Do you really think this is your own home?"

Ju Meng shrugged indifferently, "Otherwise? Since I'm staying at your place, of course I have to make the most of it!"

Lu Yibei covered his forehead, "......"

It's really hard to associate her with a several-thousand-year-old urban legend.

At least dye your hair white and draw some wrinkles. This big-chested, long-legged girl style is really distracting.

If I live with her for a long time, who can handle it?

Lu Yibei thought, and as if possessed, he reached out a finger and poked Ju Meng's cheek.

"What are you doing? Why are you so silly?"

Ju Meng mumbled, her willow brows slightly furrowed, yet she showed no intention of resisting.

She's quite cute? Lu Yibei thought.

......

After entering the house, Lu Yibei informed Ju Meng and went upstairs to change out of his Hulk-like attire.

As soon as he came downstairs to the living room, Lu Yibei was about to look for Ju Meng when he heard a whooshing sound by his ear. A dark figure pounced over, groping him all over, making him feel violated.

Lu Yibei pushed away the lecherous-acting Ju Meng and said displeasure, "No, what are you doing? I agreed to help you heal, but I didn't agree to satisfy your strange interests!"

Ju Meng crossed her arms over her chest and pouted, "Where's the urban legend core?"

Lu Yibei was startled, suppressing the panic in his heart, and said calmly, "How do you know I have a urban legend core on me?"

Did she secretly follow me yesterday?

That shouldn't be right! If she had followed me and saw my appearance after becoming a urban legend, wouldn't she have attacked by now?

But, if not, how did she know?

"Hmph!" Ju Meng snorted with her delicate nose, tilting her chin slightly upwards, "Are you stupid? If you used five talismans, wouldn't I have any reaction?"

"I estimated that based on the quality of those talismans, an average of three talismans can kill a mid-level urban legend. You used a total of thirty-seven. Excluding misses and rounding down, you should have at least about ten urban legend cores in your pocket, right?"

Lu Yibei frowned.

Ten? If I encountered ten urban legend, I would have run away long ago. How could I fight them?

I suspect she's trying to extort me!

Do shameless people, as they get older, all pick up this bad habit?

Lu Yibei thought, and said, "To be honest, I did have some gains last night, but..."

As he spoke, he took out half a urban legend core from his pants pocket and handed it to Ju Meng.

Seeing this, Ju Meng was stunned. She tilted her head and looked at Lu Yibei in confusion, "Half? How did you do that?"

She had never seen anyone get half a urban legend core when hunting them.

I suspect he's lying to me! Ju Meng thought.

Lu Yibei shrugged and patiently recounted what happened last night, omitting many unnecessary details, to Ju Meng.

After listening, Ju Meng propped her chin in thought for a few seconds, then said resentfully, "Lu Yibei! Am I not pretty, Sister?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Ying ying ying—! Leaving such a peerless beauty at home and going out to hook up with other women, it hurts me so much, it hurts so much I can barely breathe!"

Seeing Ju Meng pretend to wipe away tears, yet almost burst into laughter, Lu Yibei was speechless for a moment.

I'd be a ghost if I believed you! Please commit to the act next time, okay? At least shed two tears!

Lu Yibei remained unmoved, saying expressionlessly, "Anyway, there's only half left. If you don't want it, I'll use it to make new talismans!"

"Want it! Why wouldn't I want it! Even a fly's leg is meat!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Ju Meng snatched the half urban legend core from Lu Yibei's hand, turned and ran a short distance {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} away, guarding it in front of her, as if afraid Lu Yibei would take it back.

So good!

Lu Yibei watched Ju Meng happily run off clutching the half urban legend core, about to start devouring it, when he suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed slightly.

"Wait a minute!"

Ju Meng was tilting her head back, mouth open, about to put the urban legend core into her mouth, when she suddenly heard Lu Yibei call out. Her hand trembled, and the urban legend core fell directly into her mouth, sliding towards her throat.

For a moment, Ju Meng felt like she had swallowed a scalding hot glutinous rice ball whole, stuck in her throat.

Her eyes widened, she swallowed with difficulty twice, then finally managed to gulp it down.

Seeing Ju Meng swallow the urban legend core, fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on Lu Yibei's forehead.

Devouring a urban legend core grants the urban legend' memories. If she swallowed Lu Xu's core, wouldn't she be able to see everything Lu Xu had seen?

Then wouldn't the scene of me hunting also be seen?

Damn it, I've been so careful for so long, and I made such a basic oversight. Is this the malice from the will of the great universe?

Lu Yibei glanced sideways at Ju Meng, seeing her staring at him with a gloomy expression, and he shivered.

Then he heard her say coldly, "Lu Yibei, what did I do to offend you these past few days? Why would you lie to me like this?"

It's over, I'm exposed! She must have seen something! Lu Yibei thought.
