Adult, how about we go back? Perhaps your whatever calamity has already passed, you just don't know it yet.
Exactly, Adult, you are so powerful, how could a mere calamity trouble you?
That's right! That's right! Everyone in Taoyuan misses you terribly, and there are seven or eight pairs of newlyweds waiting for you to go back and officiate their weddings!
...
Ju Meng sat on the ground hugging her knees. From the side, her calves were straight and extended from under her oversized T-shirt, looking fair and tender.
Listening to the group of Magpies in front of her chatter, she slightly furrowed her brows, waved her hand, and said, "Alright, alright, didn't I leave some power in Taoyuan when I came out? For things like officiating weddings, you can also find Turtle Elder!"
One month!
Ju Meng held up a finger towards the Magpies, "Go back and tell everyone, if nothing happens after one month, I'll go back!"
----
Lu Yibei took a car back to University City. When she was still a short distance from Jingyi Apartment, she asked the driver to stop the car.
After getting out of the car, she turned and went into a roadside accessories store, buying dozens of thumb-sized glass bottles with cork stoppers to divide the calamity water into.
When Lu Yibei came home, she saw Ju Meng sitting on the balcony talking softly to a group of birds as soon as she opened the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the birds seemed startled, flapped their wings, and flew up in a dense flock towards the sky.
Seeing Ju Meng turn around blankly, Lu Yibei tilted her head, "What are you doing?"
"Feeding, feeding pigeons!" Ju Meng said, avoiding Lu Yibei's scrutinizing gaze.
"Are your pigeons black?"
...
Ju Meng slightly narrowed her eyes, nodded towards Lu Yibei, and said seriously, "It might be because those pigeons have black hearts."
Lu Yibei, "..."
Do I look easy to fool? Those were clearly Magpies!
Never mind, she's home alone all day, she must be bored. It would be too inhumane if I didn't even let her chat with her own kind.
Thinking this, Lu Yibei shrugged, turned around, and walked upstairs.
Looking at Lu Yibei's back, Ju Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then a little emotion arose in her heart.
It really sucks to be dependent on someone else. I, a dignified deity, although a bit past my prime, when have I ever suffered such indignity?
In the next month, I need to find an excuse to say my injury is healed, then finish helping that Miss Lin Yiqi with her matter, and it'll be about time to leave. I've been out playing for long enough this time.
Unless...
Unless Lu Yibei kneels down, hugs my thigh, promises to offer me sacrifices and lots of points every day, and begs me not to leave!
As soon as Ju Meng thought of Lu Yibei, who always made her divine essence tremble with anger, kneeling at her feet someday soon, crying and begging her to stay, she laughed like a bird.
Gagaga—!
Just then, Lu Yibei had packed her bundle of equipment into her guitar bag, put on her Coat, and went downstairs.
"What are you giggling about?"
Ju Meng rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei and said, "I thought of something happy."
"What happy thing? Did your wife give birth?"
"Your wife gave birth!"
"When did you give birth? How come I don't know?"
"You... can you be a bit shameless?!"
Wasn't it just about almost mispronouncing the spell during the alliance? Always bringing this up... Ju Meng glared angrily at Lu Yibei, spread her hands, and launched a desperate counterattack.
"Where is my urban legend core?"
"It's been so long, and all you know is to get free stuff from me. I haven't seen you bring back a single urban legend core. Are you addicted to freeloading?"
Tsk! Smelly Girl, scum woman, your face is extremely ugly! Every time I can't argue with you, you bring this up! Lu Yibei spat fiercely in her heart and slunk into the bathroom.
Lu Yibei didn't have any particular strengths, and was even full of messy flaws. Her only good point was that she always kept her word and saw things through.
Every time she asked Ju Meng a question, although Ju Meng would be slow and hesitant, she would eventually answer patiently. On her side, she had promised to help collect urban legend cores, but so far, she had only collected two, and one of them was even poisonous.
Only someone like Lu Yibei would have the nerve to keep asking Ju Meng questions with a thick skin, saying "next time for sure!" when she couldn't produce anything, and thinking "not necessarily next time!"
----
In the corner, the urban legend residing in the Apartment secretly observed Lu Yibei and Ju Meng bickering, whispering among themselves.
"Mao, Maotuan (Hairball), why... why don't they get married?" Sleeping Dress stammered.
"Hmm..." Maotuan (Hairball) pondered for two seconds and said, "Maybe if two urban legend want to get married, the Civil Affairs Bureau won't allow it?"
"Bullshit, you don't know anything!" Eyeball had become increasingly swollen and irritable lately.
Ever since Coat distributed the Great Serpent God's urban legend core to the urban legend in the Apartment for absorption, while their power increased, the negative emotions within them also tended to grow stronger.
As for why Coat distributed the urban legend core to them...
Firstly, because it was, after all, the urban legend core of a mythical species. Even though it had been polluted and depleted over countless years, the energy contained within it was still terrifying for unranked urban legend.
It simply couldn't complete the absorption by itself.
Secondly, it felt that everyone was working for the Devil Woman, and improving their overall strength was very necessary.
Although these urban legend in the Apartment hadn't been useful yet.
"To put it bluntly, they're cowards! If it were me, hey! I'd just pull a ♦'King Forcibly Mounts Tree', 'Old Man Forcibly Pushes Cart', and now the kid would probably be over a month old!"
"Brother Eyeball, watch your words, watch your words!" False Tooth advised, "If that's heard, you'll get beaten up again, and it'll be indiscriminate female double-teaming."
"Am I scared?" Eyeball puffed up its body, "I'm not the same as before now, I feel full of power!"
"That's right, I feel like I need to vent! Let's go, tonight we'll wipe out the cockroach and rat infestation in the complex's storage room! There can only be one urban legend organization in Jingyi Apartment Complex, and that's us... us..."
"Tsk! Hurry up, what do you think we should be called? Otherwise, we'll have no name."
...
After a moment of silence, the urban legend suddenly started talking all at once.
"If you ask me, we should be called 'Cleaver in Hand, Chop Their Mother!'"
"Vulgar. I propose 'Demoness Holy Cult'."
"Sweet... Sweet Little Demoness Tea Party..."
"How about 'Offering calamity water to a Beautiful World'?"
...
And so, without Lu Yibei's knowledge, a urban legend organization led by her began to take shape in a dark corner.
----
Upon reaching the bathroom, Lu Yibei immediately locked the door, then stepped onto the toilet and retrieved three bottles of calamity water from the ceiling interlayer. After a slight hesitation, she put one back.
Two bottles should be enough. I'll use them sparingly. If I take them to the Ghost Market to sell later, I'll have enough materials for the first part of the complete formula.
If I become stronger, I'll be able to withstand more of the Great Serpent God's knowledge. It's simply perfect!
Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, then put the two bottles of calamity water into the guitar ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) bag on her back, zipped it up, and left the bathroom with a normal expression. Before it got completely dark, she prepared to rush to the unfinished building on the edge of University City to undergo the urban legend transformation.
As she passed through the living room, Ju Meng was already lying on the sofa, starting a new round of trolling her teammates, while the little buddies at home were huddled near the kitchen drain, muttering something.
What kind of ghost business are they up to?
Never mind, I won't worry about it! Anyway, I'm not home. If they really cause any trouble, I won't be the one who suffers.
Thinking this, Lu Yibei shrugged carelessly and said to Ju Meng, "I'm going out. You figure out dinner yourself!"
"Go, go!" Ju Meng waved her hand dismissively and then refocused her attention on the new game she had recently gotten into.
"Let me tell you, the final boss of this raid today is based on Jumang, a very, very powerful deity from ancient times. It's definitely going to be very, very difficult!"
"We must cooperate well today and try to clear it within three tries!"
This wave is... praising herself, and then killing herself? Doesn't she really feel creeped out? Lu Yibei complained in her heart, grabbed her keys, and left the door.

Mmm~ Ngh~!

As the sky gradually darkened, soft moans echoed once again in the unfinished building on the edge of University City. Before long, a tall girl wearing a red and white contrasting Coat walked out of the dark building, panting heavily.
Lu Yibei raised her hands, examined them, and looked thoughtful.
She wondered if it was an illusion, but she felt that the scorching power within her body was starting to stir again during this urban legend transformation.
However, that power was temporarily suppressed by something, unable to spread throughout her body, only struggling in the area near her eyes.
It was as if a pair of small hands were beating in her mind, shouting "Let me out, let me out!"
She had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before that power broke through its restraints and returned even more fiercely.
Gathering her thoughts, she walked a few steps outside the unfinished building site, then suddenly stopped, looked down, and frowned.
Her legs seemed unable to be hidden, protruding from the hem of her Coat, long and white.
The autumn night breeze blew, and the base of her thighs felt chilly, a cold sensation drilling into her clothes.
"..." Lu Yibei pursed her red lips, remained silent for two seconds, and slowly said, "Coat, can you get me a set of clothes that are more tightly wrapped? It's quite cold."
Understood! The Coat trembled slightly, then immediately began to wriggle, transforming into a white shirt and black hip-hugging skirt professional suit, with black pantyhose extending out, completely covering Lu Yibei's body.
Lu Yibei looked down at herself, her face darkening, "Where did you learn all this? Can you get some clothes that are easy to move in, look unfashionable, and make people completely lose interest at first glance?"
"..."
The Coat was silent for a few seconds, moved its intelligent little brain to understand Lu Yibei's meaning, then wriggled a few more times, transforming into a blue and white, characteristically Z Country middle school sports uniform.
Lu Yibei looked down at herself and saw the curves of her body that even the sports uniform couldn't hide, she couldn't help but frown.
Even though it was completely covered, why did it feel even more suggestive?
It always reminded her of plots where a beautiful teacher secretly wears a student's school uniform and engages in strange PLAY...
Forget it, forget it, this will have to do for now, changing again might cause some unexpected trouble!
Thinking this, she shook her head resignedly, squatted down, took out the calamity water from her guitar bag, rolled up her sleeves, and poured it into small glass bottles.
Going to the South Suburb Slaughterhouse, she didn't know if it would be dangerous, so it was always right to prepare a few more backup plans and trump cards.
This calamity water might have a miraculous effect.
It was time to experience being a RMB player, the thrill of smashing people to death with money! Lu Yibei thought.
-----
Hua City, near University City.
A taxi was slowly driving on the empty road.
Uncle Zhang Shan's working hours recently had been significantly earlier than usual, the main reason being that his live radio show had become popular.
Ever since he launched the "Taxi Driver and the White-Haired Female Ghost" series of stories, the popularity of his live stream had been steadily rising, and even studios had contacted him, wanting to adapt his stories into comics or short videos.
However, he had declined all the invitations from those studios. He knew very well how terrifying that white-haired monster was, and he was already very satisfied with what he had achieved so far.
Well, you know!
You can't live too boastfully, you still have to maintain a certain sense of reverence for the unknown.
But...
Why hasn't he encountered her recently? If this continues, his inspiration will easily dry up! Uncle Zhang Shan thought with some worry.
Day thirty-six without encountering the white-haired monster, missing her!
Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Uncle Zhang Shan was stunned, came back to his senses, slammed on the brakes, stopped the car by the roadside, and fiercely slapped his cheeks, driving that thought away.
Bad luck! Lao Zhang, are you senile? How could anyone want to see a urban legend late at night?
He was thinking, just about to start the car, when suddenly the back door was pulled open by someone. By the time he came back to his senses and looked back through the rearview mirror nervously, he found that there was an almost devilishly beautiful girl in the car.
The girl had smooth white hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a middle school uniform, which added a touch of purity to her bewitching aura.
Looking at the girl through the rearview mirror, Uncle Zhang Shan suddenly remembered the heroine of an old movie. It wasn't that the girl looked like her, but that pure yet seductive feeling was very similar.
And the name of that movie was "A Chinese Ghost Story"...
"Uncle, to the South Suburb Slaughterhouse, please."
The girl said expressionlessly, as if she didn't know him at all.
Uncle Zhang Shan, "..."
Don't think I don't know who you are. Even if you changed your appearance, I'm too familiar with that guitar bag of yours that I don't know what kind of ghostly thing is inside!
But she's only been gone for a little over a month, how did she grow up? Did she become even more powerful?
Yes, that's right. Before, I had to mention her out loud for her to appear. Now, she appeared just by a thought flashing through my mind. She must have become even more powerful.
Uncle Zhang Shan thought as he started the car and drove towards the outskirts of University City. Not long after he started driving, he heard a faint voice drifting from the back seat.
"Uncle, it's so quiet, it's quite boring. Do you want to hear a urban legend story?"
"..."
Uncle Zhang Shan was silent for a moment, then nodded, and said with a forced smile, "Go ahead and tell it, but you still have to pay after you're done. Business is business."
You're different, and I, Lao Zhang, am also different!
Lu Yibei, "???"
What was he implying?
Am I the kind of person who doesn't pay for a ride?
I just wanted to contribute a little to his radio live streaming career.
Lu Yibei muttered inwardly and said expressionlessly, "Okay, remember to tear off a few more receipts for me later."
The Night Watch reimbursed regular members up to 1850 for commuting expenses each month. If she didn't get this money, she always felt like she was losing out.
The Night Watch's wool, you might as well shear it!
"Alright then, I'll start telling it! This story begins in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Emperor Ai of Jin was obsessed with alchemy and immortal techniques, causing many lords to imitate him. Among them was King Yu from the southwestern region. He sent a general with young boys and girls into the mountains to search for immortals..."
Along the way, Lu Yibei combined her experiences in the Bamboo Scroll Illusion with the knowledge of the Great Serpent God and turned it into a story, which she narrated slowly.
Listening to those bizarre and unheard-of legends, Uncle Zhang Shan's mind gradually sketched out a new chapter for the "Taxi Driver and the White-Haired Female Ghost" series.
----
Uncle Zhang Shan was so engrossed in listening that by the time he came back to his senses, he had unknowingly driven the car to a place less than a hundred meters away from the South Suburb Slaughterhouse. When he realized it, cold sweat immediately soaked his back.
Oh my god! If it were a little later, would I have driven in? Uncle Zhang Shan thought.
He actually drove to the main entrance? Awesome! As expected of Uncle Zhang Shan, he can easily do things others can't! Lu Yibei thought.
Both of them were lost in their thoughts, and the car was silent for a few seconds.
Then.
"Fare, ninety-seven!"
"Uh... okay, I'll scan the QR code." Lu Yibei said, took out her phone, leaned forward to scan the QR code next to the driver's seat, and conveniently tore off receipts for three hundred yuan.
Uncle Zhang Shan, "???" frёeωebɳovel.com
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that the culprit had already gotten out of the car and was jogging towards the South Suburb Slaughterhouse, her figure quickly swallowed by the darkness.
Outside the window, it was completely dark and quiet. Even though it was near the wilderness, there wasn't the slightest sound of wind, rustling grass, or insects and birds chirping.
Uncle Zhang Shan swallowed, silently turned on the car's player, put on a song called "dejavu", his eyes narrowed as he gripped the steering wheel, then skillfully turned the car around, instantly accelerating to full speed.
Hua City's Second Car God has reconnected.
----
Lu Yibei thought that besides the suspicious man she met in the afternoon, she would be the first person to arrive at the South Suburb Slaughterhouse for the assessment.
But to her surprise, when she walked the hundred meters or so and arrived in front of the South Suburb Slaughterhouse, there was already someone waiting there.
It was a girl with blonde hair tied in twin ponytails, wearing a JK uniform. Her skin was a sexy wheat color, the hem of her top was tied in a knot, revealing her flat abdomen, and under the Christmas plaid skirt hem, her slender legs wrapped in black over-the-knee cotton socks were visible.
She felt like she had seen her somewhere before... Lu Yibei squinted slightly, examining the girl. Just then, the girl also noticed her presence, looked up, and stared for a moment as if facing a formidable enemy, then suddenly revealed a sinister and provocative smile.
Seeing that smile, a flash of inspiration struck Lu Yibei's mind. She pointed at the girl and shouted, "Oh—! I know who you are! I recognize you!"
"???"
The smile on the girl's face instantly froze, and she stood rooted to the spot.
She could recognize me from this?
