Free Web NovelLu Yibei, “...” She actually asked me if I wanted to sleep together? Is there such a good thing?
“Yes, I do!”
Lu Yibei responded and dashed into the bedroom in a few steps, as if afraid Jiang Li would change her mind. She turned around, closed the door, and with a “click!” sound, locked it.
Suddenly, there were only two people left in the dark room, silently, with no one speaking.
Jiang Li looked at the blurred figure by the door, and Lu Yibei’s appearance before she was affected by urban legend flashed through her mind. She felt her cheeks burning.
“Bastard, shameless!”
She cursed under her breath, wrapped herself in the quilt, and turned her back. The next moment, she felt the bed shake slightly, and her heart tightened.
After waiting for a few seconds, she suddenly heard a steady breathing sound beside her.
Jiang Li turned and sat up, seeing Lu Yibei lying in a monster-like onesie made from a Coat, with only her delicate, small face exposed. A few glistening strands hung from her slightly parted lips.
Lu Yibei was already asleep.
Although leaving such a beautiful young girl to sleep alone was an act worse than a beast.
But after being affected by urban legend, she couldn’t do anything. What else could she do late at night besides sleep?
Could they grind tofu together?
“...”
In the darkness, Jiang Li stared at Lu Yibei for a moment, and after confirming she was truly asleep, she lay back down on the bed.
However, she couldn’t calm down at all while lying on the bed. She kept involuntarily thinking about the possibility of Lu Yibei being Uncle Driver’s son.
Thus, she tossed and turned for a long time. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a hand suddenly climbed onto her butt and rubbed back and forth.
In the darkness, Jiang Li’s face instantly flushed crimson. Her body trembled as if she had been electrocuted, her sleepiness completely vanished, and the little deer in her chest instantly suffered a concussion.
I, I knew it. She really had ill intentions!
She thought, preparing to activate her Spirit Mark and draw out a four-meter-long machete to chop at Lu Yibei.
Just then, the “hand” resting on her butt suddenly exerted force...
She only felt her body suddenly lighten, and she was kicked off the bed by Lu Yibei with a “thump!”
“Ugh—!”
Jiang Li grunted as she fell, then got up from the floor with her mind full of questions. She looked at Lu Yibei, who was sleeping in a “big” spread-eagle shape on the bed, and her mouth twitched.
“...”
She looked at Lu Yibei on the bed, then lowered her head to look at her own body, feeling a subtle sense of being offended.
Sharing a room and a bed with a beautiful young girl, not only did she fall asleep instantly, but after falling asleep, she kicked the other person off and occupied the entire bed herself...
Is something wrong with me, or is something wrong with her?
Jiang Li thought irritably, pushed away Lu Yibei’s hands and feet, and returned to lie down on the bed, her arms crossed over her chest, staring blankly at the ceiling.
This time, Lu Yibei didn’t move around again, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
— — — —
In the dark room, a pair of dark red eyes suddenly opened, and a golden glint flashed in their depths.
Not long after Jiang Li fell asleep, Lu Yibei was startled awake by an uncomfortable feeling of difficulty breathing.
She opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling, and listened to the steady breathing beside her. She paused for a moment, then lowered her head slightly and saw a slender arm pressing on her chest, causing her to frown.
This woman’s sleeping posture is too poor; she’s not even honest when she’s asleep.
Who knows which kind gentleman will marry her in the future? Just thinking about that gentleman’s sleep quality after marriage makes one worry about his hairline!
Lu Yibei muttered to herself, gently lifted Jiang Li’s arm, carefully got out of bed, and then gently put the arm down. Only then did she hug her pillow and tiptoe out of the room.
As she closed the bedroom door, she looked back and silently sighed.
This is for the best. Happiness Community is full of strangeness. If both of them were asleep, it would ultimately be a bit unsafe.
Moreover, before she wakes up, I still need to find a dark place to get through the one or two hours when the sun rises tomorrow morning!
Lu Yibei thought, exited the bedroom, and closed the door.
“Click...”
The soft sound of the door closing came.
In the darkness, Jiang Li opened her eyes a crack, glanced towards the door, her lips curved slightly, and then she closed her eyes again.
Lu Yibei came to the living room, leaned against the sofa with her pillow, resting her arms, and looked through the gap in the curtains at the buildings of Happiness Community shrouded in night outside the window.
It was late at night, and everything was silent. The unfinished past stories she had yet to tell Jiang Li resurfaced in her mind.
— — — —
According to that old woman, Li A'niu encountered a urban legend that night and was rescued by the eccentric old man who was erecting a tombstone in the forest at night.
The old man, who arrived in time, took him and ran wildly along the winding mountain path. The mountain path at night was pitch black, and the urban legend floated in mid-air behind them, chasing them not too far or too close, constantly humming an inaudible tune in a chilling tone.
Li A'niu’s legs were so scared they turned soft. He followed the old man and ran all night, half-dead from exhaustion, only escaping danger when a glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky.
When he came to his senses, he broke out in another cold sweat.
They had run all night, and even though the old man accompanying him had difficulty walking, they had run at least ten miles. But when dawn broke, he found that they had only just left the village entrance.
Looking back, that night he must have encountered the legendary “ghost wall.”
Speaking of which, the old woman’s elder, Li A'niu, was also an incredibly bold person.
After such a terrifying experience, when his search for relatives yielded no results, he actually mustered the courage to find a dilapidated house and live there.
What’s so scary about urban legend? Is it scarier than poverty and hunger?
Anyway, according to the old man, as long as you don’t go out at night, urban legend won’t harm people.
If it likes to sing opera at night, let it sing. Although you can’t watch, being able to listen to opera for free without paying is truly wonderful!
In folklore, there has always been a saying about ghosts and monsters: “seeing them brings wealth.” This means that if you encounter urban legend, and they have no intention of harming people, and you successfully avoid them, you will instead have great luck. freewebnovel.cσ๓
After Li A'niu settled in the dilapidated house, he saved a little money by doing manual labor, then turned to do a small business, earning a lot of money, and thus had even less desire to leave.
And those actors and children from the burned-down opera house, buried underground and then turning into urban legend causing trouble, were suppressed by a mysterious Expert who came from afar.
That Expert traveled near Hua City, heard that urban legend were causing trouble, and that very day found the old man living near the opera house ruins and Li A'niu, who was living a comfortable life.
After sending the two away that night, the Expert, blowing a suona and carrying an ancient sword, went alone to the ruins of the opera house in the forest.
According to Li A'niu’s recollection, that night, music first started in the forest, playing a now-lost piece called “Yin-Yang River.” However, it was forcibly diverted by the Expert’s suona to “Sanniang Teaches Her Son.”
Lu Yibei also got the inspiration from this, feeling that the suona might have a certain suppressive effect on the urban legend of Happiness Community, which is why she spent eight hundred yuan to enroll in a crash course for traditional Chinese music.
Unfortunately, the teacher at the art center couldn’t play “Sanniang Teaches Her Son.”
After the music was interrupted, with a heart-wrenching wail of ghosts and wolves, flames shot into the sky in «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» that small forest, and explosions echoed incessantly, just like the warlord battles he had encountered on his escape route, lasting almost an entire night.
When a hint of fish-belly white appeared in the sky, the mysterious Expert walked out of the small forest limping, his clothes tattered, and the ancient sword he had brought in was gone.
He was thought to have lost it, but the Expert told the two that the sword was used to seal the urban legend, and asked them to guard it well to prevent anyone from pulling it out and letting the urban legend come out to scare people again.
Since then, the area near the opera house ruins has never again been troubled by urban legend. As time passed, many residents gathered in this vicinity again.
As time went on, people gradually forgot that this area had once been plagued by urban legend, and the fact that an ancient sword was buried beneath the opera house ruins had long been forgotten.
It is worth mentioning that the old woman said that people who used to live in this area of Happiness Community were truly very happy. Incidents like husband and wife quarrels or mischievous children rarely happened.
Based on the old woman’s description, Lu Yibei suspected that the urban legend sealed here by the legendary Expert were not inherently bad and might even be secretly protecting the people living here.

This situation continued until the old houses here were demolished and the construction of Happiness Community began.
When Lu Yibei went to inquire from Tang Deye for the second time, Tang Deye’s expression changed as soon as he saw him.
Lu Yibei said nothing, asked nothing, just sat beside him, looking at him meaningfully, constantly inviting him to drink tea, and from time to time, struggling to pull at the nearly dysfunctional parts of his face, forcing out a stiff, awkward smile at Tang Deye that was worse than no smile at all.
Thinking about the experience two days ago, Tang Deye finally couldn’t bear the psychological pressure. He took two quick-acting heart pills, slapped the table, and pointed at Lu Yibei’s nose, scolding him.
“You little brat! I watched you grow up, and what you’re doing is too unethical. Just ask what you’re thinking! Would I not tell you?!”
Thus, Lu Yibei found the Uncle Driver who operated an excavator at the construction site during the initial phase of Happiness Community’s construction, responsible for excavating the foundation.
When Lu Yibei found the Uncle Driver, he clearly didn't want to talk about what happened at the construction site. Seeing him prevaricate, Lu Yibei had a flash of inspiration and growled, "The sword you dug up is mine."
The foundation excavation work went exceptionally smoothly for the first month, but on the last day of that month, problems arose at the construction site.
The first one to have problems was this driver. That day, when he was driving the excavator and dug into a small mound, the bucket suddenly got stuck on something.
He initially thought it was a particularly hard rock, but after adjusting the digging direction several times and clearing away layers of dirt from the small mound, he discovered an ancient sword buried underneath.
The blade of the ancient sword was buried underground, with only its strangely shaped hilt exposed. And that hilt, having been buried underground for who knows how many years, showed no signs of rust at all, even emitting a faint glow.
The Uncle Driver hadn't expected that the thing that jammed his bucket was actually an ancient sword. While secretly congratulating himself for not damaging a cultural relic, he jumped out of the cab, ready to pull out the ancient sword and continue working.
As soon as he pulled the sword, problems arose. The moment he grasped the hilt, his eyes were filled with fire, and his head felt as if it were burning, with a searing pain in his brain that came in waves.
After several attempts, the Uncle Driver realized something was wrong and hurriedly ran to tell the foreman.
The foreman, being someone who had traveled extensively, quickly invited a few Experts to take a look. The Experts said that the sword was suppressing something unclean, and it was best not to move it, as moving it would lead to bad things happening.
The foreman said with a bitter smile, "If this thing isn't moved, the project can't proceed! Please find a way to deal with it!"
Those Experts, one by one, shirked responsibility, saying, "We so-called Experts only know some superficial Spells and can see some things ordinary people can't. The owner of this sword is far more capable than us. We probably can't handle it, and we might even suffer ourselves if we try."
The foreman was scared by his ominous words but also helpless.
In construction, foremen often have to invest their own money first, with payment deferred until the work is completed. If the work isn't done well, he can only jump off a building with his brothers.
The foreman worried for several days like this, then bit the bullet and tried a bunch of folk remedies: black dog blood, sprinkling sticky rice, burning paper money. But the sword remained motionless, and even the surrounding soil for several meters was as hard as iron.
Several excavator drivers, seeing how eerie the situation was, were terrified and feigned illness, unwilling to start work.
Later, the foreman saw that the situation was getting bad and that this couldn't continue. He gritted his teeth and offered a reward, saying that whoever could remove that broken sword would get 100,000 yuan.
The very next day after he offered the reward, a reckless fellow appeared; it was one of the "Experts" he had previously invited.
That Expert said he had a way to remove the ancient sword and didn't need money, on the condition that the sword would belong to him after it was removed, and that anyone who knew about this matter must never disclose it to outsiders.
Hearing that the problem could be solved without money, the foreman calculated that only a few excavator drivers and workers knew about it. At most, he'd give each person a thousand-yuan red packet to keep quiet, and then it wouldn't be spread. He could also save tens of thousands of yuan, so he readily agreed.
That night, the so-called Expert dismissed the foreman and the workers who were preparing to watch the show, and walked into the construction site alone.
Everyone waited outside the construction site for most of the night, not hearing any movement from within. They were extremely curious, and as soon as dawn broke, they impatiently entered the construction site to check.
When they entered the construction site, the Expert had already left, the ancient sword on the ground was gone, and there wasn't even a hole where the sword had been stuck.
After that, a few more days passed, and seeing no unusual situations, the project proceeded as scheduled. No more strange things happened afterward, and everyone received their "hush money." As time went on, no one mentioned the matter again.
It wasn't until the pile drilling that another urban legend occurred.
When building foundations for buildings, if the soil structure is relatively loose, the drill hole is prone to collapse. Therefore, it is necessary to pour mud into the hole to protect the hole wall. During this process, if the drill bit gets stuck or falls, it will cause huge economic losses.
At this time, a profession that operates on the edge of the law is needed—the 'Water Ghost' makes an appearance.
Water Ghosts, also known as engineering divers, wear diving equipment and dive into the mud to retrieve the drill bit when it gets stuck or falls.
Due to the high difficulty and danger of this work, there has always been a saying: "Go down and come up for ten thousand, go down and don't come up for a million."
During the first phase of the Happiness Community project, a drill bit fell, and a Water Ghost was called in, but an accident also occurred.
Just when everyone thought the Water Ghost would be trapped and die inside, he miraculously emerged from the mud with the drill bit. Aside from choking on a few mouthfuls of water, he was unharmed.
However, the words the Water Ghost spoke after recovering sent shivers down everyone's spines.
He said there were "people" under the drill hole, many "people" swimming around in the mud, singing opera, and playing some kind of musical instrument. Through the murky, opaque mud, he could only roughly see the outlines of some heads, hands, feet, and torsos.
Moreover.
The reason he was able to escape danger was that those "people" were pushing him up. He felt countless hands pushing him from behind, as if they were trying to drive him out.
After hearing the Water Ghost's words, everyone thought about it carefully and concluded that he must have been frightened, choked on water, and was speaking nonsense because his mind wasn't clear.
Someone even joked, "Since they saved you, it means they won't harm people. Maybe they'll even help us with our work! Hahaha!"
The strange incidents during the construction of Happiness Community ended there. The subsequent construction went very smoothly, even unexpectedly smoothly, completing more than a month ahead of schedule.
Because no one died, no one took those minor incidents at the construction site to heart, nor would anyone be idle enough to report it to the police.
Everyone had been working in construction for years; who hadn't encountered a few urban legend?
Those things gradually became sealed away in the long river of time.
Therefore, it was reasonable that Night Watch had no relevant information.
After listening to the stories of the old woman and the Uncle Driver, Lu Yibei always felt that the urban legend hidden beneath Happiness Community might not have harmed people in the past, and perhaps even occasionally helped people, bringing "happiness" to those living nearby.
It's just that after that ancient sword was stolen, they were affected by some factor and changed.
It's just that they are hidden too deeply, and she doesn't know how to find them.
Even if she finds them, she might not be able to defeat them. If she can't defeat them, she might not be able to escape. If she can escape, she might still need to sell Jiang Li.
It's a bit of a headache!
If she could find that stolen ancient sword, perhaps her chances of winning would increase by a few points. Lu Yibei thought. freewebnσvel.cøm
Lu Yibei stayed alone in the living room until just past seven. Seeing that it was about to get light, she quietly left the rental house.
She went to the low-voltage well she had already scouted, stealthily hid inside, and huddled in a dark corner, playing on her phone for two hours until the sun had fully risen before leaving.
After leaving the low-voltage well, amidst the kind, friendly, and strange greetings of a group of early-rising neighbors, Lu Yibei went outside Happiness Community to buy breakfast for Jiang Li. As soon as she returned to the entrance of the rental house, she ran into a property management staff member dressed in a black Suit.
He was a man who was somewhat short and somewhat stout.
Seeing Lu Yibei return, the man's face showed a professional smile, and he bowed slightly to her, "Hello, you must be the new resident who just moved here, right?"
"Yes, may I help you?" Lu Yibei said expressionlessly.
"It's like this, our community has a tradition that whenever a new resident moves in, we hold a welcome party," the man said.
This is my chance! Lu Yibei's heart rejoiced, and she asked in confusion, "Do you welcome renters too?"
"Yes," the man nodded, "If you're free this weekend, please come and join us."
"What if I'm not free?"
The man was clearly stunned for a moment at her words, then smiled and said, "Then, when would be a good time for you?"
"What if I'm never free? You know, a little fairy like me is usually not free."
...
The man was silent for a moment, as if organizing his words to deal with the situation before him.
Before he could speak, Lu Yibei preempted him, "Just kidding! I'll go to the welcome party, after all, it's everyone's kind intention..."
"That's great, everyone will be very happy if you can come."
"Thanks, you should be happy," Lu Yibei waved her hand.
The man, "..."
