Free Web NovelNanling Yaohua introduced herself, and Lu Yibei subconsciously was about to say her name. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she narrowed her eyes slightly and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Nanling Yaohua? Isn't that the name of a Chinese medicine? Who would be called that? Is there anyone in Z Country with the surname Nanling?
Tsk, I'm probably meeting a swindler! Married women, as expected, are not compatible with this old man!
Lu Yibei thought back to when she was young and ignorant, chatting heatedly with that married Miss named Xingcun Xiaozhong whom she met online, and for a time, she thought it was love.
Later, after being tricked into spending a large sum of money on twenty catties of Wuyi Dahongpao of unknown authenticity, she was almost beaten to death by her Old Dad, and she felt a faint pain in her buttocks.
Seeing that Lu Yibei hadn't spoken for a long time, Nanling Yaohua added, as if to remind her, "By the way, I live on this street."
Lu Yibei glanced at the young woman beside her, cupped her hands, and said seriously, "So it's Miss Rao Hua, my apologies. I am Wang Bu Liu Xing, eighteen years old this year, and unmarried! You can just call me Old Wang, and I live next door to you."
Old Wang next door, isn't that the bane of married women?! Am I afraid of you?
She didn't plan to tell me her real name, so why should I tell her mine? Lu Yibei thought.
Wang Bu Liu Xing? Isn't that Chinese medicine... Nanling Yaohua listened to Lu Yibei's self-introduction, was stunned for a few seconds, and then had a sudden realization. She thought that the other party might have misunderstood that she had given a false name and also casually made up a Chinese medicine name as her own.
However, what does that matter? I, Nanling Yaohua, make friends with people, not with names!
A name is just a code name. She can be called Wang Bu Liu Xing, or Honghua Longdan, even if she's Gou Dan, Tie Gen, or Er Mazi, it doesn't make any difference.
Thinking this, Nanling Yaohua cupped her hands in return to Lu Yibei and said, "Brother Wang, a good name! However, I see that your complexion is dark, has your luck been bad recently?"
Lu Yibei, "..." This sounds familiar! It's a bit like the lines of the blind fortune teller at the entrance of Peony Street before! Is she going to start swindling now? Sister, aren't you a bit too eager?
So unskilled in the business, yet she's running out to swindle people. She's probably a newcomer? Lu Yibei thought.
The moment Lu Yibei climbed onto the tower, Nanling Yaohua noticed the extremely weak Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from her. That feeling was like being entangled by a urban legend.
Now that she was closer, she felt the abnormality on Lu Yibei even more.
"Or... is she entangled by something strange?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the Coat on Lu Yibei, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Her eyes, which were originally as clear as water, instantly became sharp. The terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations, under her exquisite control, condensed into a pair of invisible large hands, gently stroking Lu Yibei's Coat.
The moment the large hands condensed from Spiritual Energy fluctuations touched the Coat, a look of surprise also flashed in Nanling Yaohua's eyes. She didn't expect Lu Yibei's Coat to actually be a urban legend.
After all...
The Coat's Spiritual Energy fluctuations were too weak, so weak that she once suspected it was the residual Spiritual Energy fluctuations after Lu Yibei was entangled by a urban legend.
However, her unintentional action scared Lu Yibei's Coat into the air, and it flew far away with a "whoosh."
Seeing this, Lu Yibei's face changed slightly. She chased after the Coat in a few steps, protected it behind her, and stared at Nanling Yaohua vigilantly, "What, what are you doing?! You, don't mess around!"
As she spoke, she met Nanling Yaohua's gaze, and her heart couldn't help but tighten. That look was too terrifying, like a drawn sword, with an inexplicable compelling fierceness and oppressive feeling.
It made Lu Yibei suspect that the next moment, she would shout strange lines like "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon" and attack her.
"Brother Wang misunderstood." Nanling Yaohua was stunned for a moment, the cold sharpness in her eyes instantly disappeared, and she returned to her previous gentleness, "I didn't mean to attack your little companion, if there is..."
"Wait, let me think about what the small booklet left by Shishu said." Nanling Yaohua scratched the back of her head, then looked at Lu Yibei, and nodded with a firm gaze.
"Right, Shishu said that when you people in the city encounter this situation, you usually say, if I have offended you, come hit me!" free𝑤ebnovel.com
Lu Yibei, "..." What kind of unreliable Shishu is that? He's probably hoping you die sooner!
Seeing that Lu Yibei's expression was a little unnatural, Nanling Yaohua tilted her head and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"No! It's great!" Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, "However, I still want to remind you, be careful of your Shishu."
That person has a big problem, maybe they want to play you to death! Lu Yibei added silently in her heart.
"Really? I think so too, so I didn't completely believe what Shishu said." Nanling Yaohua smiled, "Looking at your reaction, I should cross this tip off from the small booklet."
She's not completely stupid, after all? Lu Yibei shrugged noncommittally.
"But speaking of which." Nanling Yaohua changed the subject and looked at the Coat floating in the air behind Lu Yibei, "Is that Coat of yours... really okay?"
"No problem! Who doesn't keep a couple of urban legend these days! People in our city, every family keeps urban legend, just like pets. If you don't keep one, you'd be too embarrassed to go out." Lu Yibei blurted out.
Every family keeps urban legend? Nanling Yaohua smiled meaningfully. She didn't believe Lu Yibei's claim.
In the past few days, she had almost circled the central area of Hua City and encountered a very small number of urban legend.
However, she didn't plan to expose the young woman in front of her. She hadn't found Lu Yibei for so long, and she felt it was time to seek some external help.
But, since she was young, Land Master and Grandpa had told her to have less contact with the Night Watch, so she didn't plan to use the power of the Night Watch.
Therefore, even though she had encountered Du Sixian several times before and felt a familiar aura on her, she had not asked her for help.
This Wang Bu Liu Xing in front of her was different. People who raise little ghosts belong to the unorthodox paths and cannot join the Night Watch. They are probably just a free Psychic who knows a bit about the ways.
And raising little ghosts, although among Psychic, is one of the most superficial uses of Spiritual Energy and is at the lowest end of the Psychic hierarchy.
However, after coming to Hua City, besides the members of the Night Watch, she hadn't met many Psychic. Now that she finally met this Wang Bu Liu Xing, she couldn't let her get away.
"By the way, Brother Wang... huh, where did she go?" Nanling Yaohua was thinking, opened her mouth, and was about to say something to Lu Yibei, but was surprised to find that she was already gone.
After slightly exploring the surroundings with Spiritual Energy, she realized that Lu Yibei had climbed down the tower at some point and was rushing out of Peony Street.
"Brother Wang! You..."
Nanling Yaohua called out softly, just about to say something to Lu Yibei, but was interrupted by her waving her hand and shouting loudly.
"I suddenly remembered that I didn't turn off the gas at home when I left, so I'm leaving first! We'll meet again! Bye bye!"
Lu Yibei shouted loudly, her expression slightly sinking.
Damn it, how did I meet such a troublesome person on the tower? It's almost dark now!

If I hadn't found out early, when it got dark and I started to turn into a urban legend, I would definitely be discovered by the Night Watch!
Even if I wasn't discovered by the Night Watch, it's hard to say that I wouldn't be beaten to death by that married woman. She saw that I had a problem at a glance, and her strength should be very strong. Lu Yibei thought.
Looking at Lu Yibei's departing back, Nanling Yaohua didn't mean to chase after her.
According to White Shishu, when dealing with outside Psychic, it's necessary to be somewhat cautious. Leaving a mark or aura casually is a very necessary thing.
Therefore, when she stroked Lu Yibei's Coat with the large hand condensed from Spiritual Energy fluctuations just now, she left a wisp of aura, so she could find that Brother Wang anytime she wanted.
"This is also good. Asking for help directly is a bit abrupt, but..."
As long as I track her aura and observe her from time to time, and help her when she is in danger, she will owe me a favor and it will be hard for her to refuse.
Anyway, judging from her appearance, she will most likely encounter some things recently. Nanling Yaohua thought.
What if she solves the problem herself...
Then it can only be as Land Master said.
If you want someone to help you, make them owe you a favor. If there's no opportunity, create one. As for how to create an opportunity...
Please refer to pages seventy-two to eighty-five of "Guide to Navigating the Jianghu for Xiao Hua" - "Ten Common Ways to Disguise Murder as an Accident."
Nanling Yaohua had read the small booklet compiled by those two old foxes countless times.
Although, after leaving the desert and on the way to Hua City, she found many errors in the small booklet.
However, the content from page seventy-two to eighty-five was written very well, and she also felt that it was not difficult to implement.
...
On ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ the way from the tower to Master Chang's shop, Lu Yibei always felt a chill down her spine, the same feeling as when she was targeted by Zhu Linglong, which made her quicken her pace.
After getting the modified Poker Pistol from Master Chang, she didn't linger, left the cash she had prepared, and rushed non-stop to a remote corner of University City.
That was a construction site that had been shut down due to a urban legend incident, and it was where she had been spending time to get through her urban legend transformation recently.
The unsettling, chilling aura that Lu Yibei felt continued until she entered the area of University City, gradually dissipating. Only then did she confidently slip into the unfinished building, find a hidden corner, strip naked, and wait for sunset.
When the sky was completely dark, when Lu Yibei emerged from the unfinished building again, she had completed her urban legend transformation and changed into a magical girl outfit...
"Damn it! Who told you to turn into this? Even if you turn into a girl, I still want to wear it! Hurry up, change back!"
Lu Yibei roared in a low voice, and the Coat that had turned into a magical girl outfit felt wronged for a while, then wriggled against her skin, and in the blink of an eye, a faint light flashed, and it changed back to its original form...
No, why are the over-the-knee socks and small leather shoes still there? This... is actually okay?! Lu Yibei thought, it's quite uncomfortable to run around with bare legs and feet all the time.
However...
"Can you change the over-the-knee socks? I'm not used to them."
After waiting for a few seconds, the Coat seemed to understand Lu Yibei's meaning, wriggled for a while, and replaced the over-the-knee socks with small white socks with lace edges.
Lu Yibei, "..." I don't have this style of socks at home either! Where did it learn that? Could it have stolen the neighbor's clothes?
"You should change back..." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
After saying that, Lu Yibei felt something was wrong again.
Wait, did I forget the option of not wearing socks?
As she thought this, she was about to tell the Coat to remove the socks, but suddenly realized that in the process of changing from lace white socks back to over-the-knee black socks, the Coat had run out of energy before it could eliminate the lace edges, so...
It became over-the-knee black socks with lace edges.
Lu Yibei, "..." Why do I suddenly not dare to continue messing with it?
What if it creates some kind of fishnet or leopard print seductive style later, wouldn't that be terrible?
Let's just leave it like this for now? Let the Coat recover its energy and clear its head before saying anything.
...
By the time Lu Yibei arrived at Four Gate Main Street, it was completely dark.
Dark clouds had gathered in the sky at some point, obscuring the moonlight.
A desolate atmosphere hung over the concrete road surface of Four Gate Main Street. The weeds on both sides of the road were half a person tall, casting shadowy figures.
It was quiet all around, not a sound to be heard, only the sound of the wind blowing through the tangled bushes, like a whimpering sound.
In this imminent storm, she stood on such a desolate and dilapidated road, waiting for a long time, but did not see the figure of Headless Senior appear. A sense of uneasiness began to grow in her heart.
She simply put the guitar bag on her shoulder on the ground and took out the modified Poker Pistol.
The Poker Pistol can be loaded with a maximum of ten talismans at a time, so she loaded ten.
After loading the talismans, she took out the most easily concealed carving knife from the ancestral kitchen knife and hid it in her wide sleeve.
Finally, placing the mingwang statue in a place where it could be easily raised, she felt a little more at ease.
After waiting for some more time, the sense of unease intensified. Just as Lu Yibei was wondering if Headless Senior had encountered something that delayed their meeting, a thick fog suddenly appeared in front of her.
Immediately after, a biting cold wind struck, and a figure covered in blood, carrying a dizzying stench, rushed over at high speed.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei's heart tightened. She raised the Poker Pistol in her hand and was about to shoot at the bloody figure, but just as she pulled the trigger, she saw the bloody figure fall in front of her, its head separated from its body and rolling a long distance away.
Is it Headless Senior? Lu Yibei frowned. What is she trying to do by doing this out of the blue? It's scary!
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a faint sound from Headless Senior's head beside her ear, and her mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.
"Quick, run..."
