Free Web NovelUnder the dense, misty night sky, the young girl in Qingyi fluttered, her toes lightly touching the surging, rolling river surface, moving with lightning speed, breaking through the strong wind and heavy rain, and flew towards the distance.
Just at this moment, Du Sixian's words came to Lu Yibei.
"Expert, you must be Senior Lu's..."
Lu Yibei had always firmly believed one thing: as long as she self-destructed fast enough, revealing the secret to the public, once there was no secret, then the secret wouldn't be discovered by others.
So, before Du Sixian could discover her secret, she decided to self-destruct.
As for the content of the self-destruction, whether it was true or false, did it matter?
"You guessed right! Lu Yibei is my..."
Lu Yibei originally planned to use the excuse she used with Qingji, and by the way, refer to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, to weave a story of deep-seated love, hate, and entanglement between a Strange Tale and a Night Watch Gan Yuan.
However, when that whole package of hers, of lines that were enough to pass off as genuine, was ready, Du Sixian did not give her a chance to perform.
"It's a distant relative, right?!" Du Sixian's nostrils flared slightly, and she said with a face full of excitement.
"According to my observations during this period, although Expert and Senior Lu don't look particularly alike, in some aspects, they feel particularly similar, especially their eyes and temperament."
Lu Yibei, "???"
Something's off! Very off!
Under normal circumstances, the scope of guesses is nothing more than close relationships like master-disciple, lovers, or master-servant, how did you think of such a weird side branch like 'relative'?
Just as Lu Yibei was muttering inwardly, Du Sixian's eyes lit up slightly, "Wait, maybe not a distant relative!"
"Expert seems to be a Strange Tale! The age of a Strange Tale shouldn't be estimated by appearance, Expert, you wouldn't happen to be Senior Lu's..."
"You're really clever, that's right, I am indeed Lu Yibei's Sister." Lu Yibei said expressionlessly.
Can't let this Miss keep guessing wildly.
With her imagination, if she keeps guessing, I always feel like the plot will develop in a bizarre direction like "I am my mom". Lu Yibei thought.
"Eh? As expected!" Du Sixian said, widening her eyes, her appearance was like someone who had discovered a huge secret, so excited she would jump up the next moment, but then she frowned again.
"However, one thing is still a bit strange, Senior Lu is a Psychic, Expert is a Strange Tale, how could they be Sister and younger brother? Could it be..."
Don't you "Could it be"... Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, and quickly spoke before Du Sixian could continue to derail the plot, saying, "This is a matter of our father's generation, not to be spoken of to outsiders."
As she spoke, she paused slightly, her tone became serious, "What happened today, Sixian, heaven and earth know, you know, I know, absolutely don't let a third party know."
"My younger brother is currently working at the Night Watch, if our relationship is known, I worry it will cause him irreversible negative impact."
"Of course, of course!" Du Sixian nodded repeatedly, "I've been in the Night Watch for so long, but I've never told anyone about meeting Expert back then!"
"Between friends, we should keep each other's secrets!"
After Du Sixian joined the Night Watch, she carefully recalled all the experiences after meeting Expert.
From Lu Yibei's various actions, she had already inferred that Expert was a terrifyingly strong great Strange Tale.
Even her becoming a potential Psychic and occasionally entering that wonderful dream were greatly related to Expert.
But, after she reached such a conclusion, the first thing she thought of was not reporting Expert, but protecting the secret between them.
Lu Yibei frowned, her lips slightly parted, "Although that is the case, I also consider you a friend, but..."
"If Expert doesn't believe me, I can write a pledge!" Du Sixian said with a sincere attitude.
"Oh?" Lu Yibei slightly narrowed her eyes, observing Du Sixian, thoughtfully.
This is a good opportunity, maybe I can take this opportunity, pretend to propose the plan of taking her as a dependent, and then push the boat along the current, directly eliminating the hidden danger brought by this troublesome matter. Lu Yibei thought.
Seeing that Lu Yibei didn't speak for a long time, Du Sixian's cheeks suddenly flushed slightly, and she mumbled, "If it really doesn't work, I can also try to date Senior Lu, if he is willing."
Since the last time the "One Person Hide-and-Seek" Strange Tale attack incident, after performing a mission with Lu Yibei, Du Sixian implicitly developed a bit of inexplicable admiration for Lu Yibei.
Speaking of which, this is all Lu Yibei's fault for talking too much, for saying that one sentence, "I've dreamed of you, often dreamed of you."
Everyone is a young person in their teens, this feeling of admiration has brewed for a long time, and being catalyzed by some strange and weird things, it's inevitable that some other feelings will arise.
Now that her Sister is here, why not take this opportunity to get a deeper understanding? Du Sixian thought.
Lu Yibei, "???"
I consider you a dependent, a friend, you actually want to get with me?
And you even look reluctant, this is absolutely not okay!
"Sorry, my younger brother already has someone in his heart, this is probably difficult to manage..."
"I understand, I understand!" Du Sixian nodded, she still had a bit of self-awareness.
Lu Yibei, "..."
What do you understand now?
Your imagination is so big, why don't you go write novels? Definitely more promising than my Old Dad.
"Senior Lu likes Gan Yuan Jiang, «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» right? I saw it a long time ago." As Du Sixian spoke, like changing faces, she quickly went from the appearance of a shy girl to the face of a gossip Expert.
"Let me tell you, Gan Yuan Jiang is Senior Lu's superior, they are always exchanging glances."
Then you must have seen it wrong... Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, we are just having very pure eye contact.
Lu Yibei had always thought Li Xuan was the gossip king of Hua City Si Ye Hui, but now it seems Du Sixian has a strong tendency to replace him.
Just as Lu Yibei was preparing to properly explain her relationship with Jiang Li to Du Sixian, and Du Sixian was considering whether to discuss the dowry issue with Expert.
On the distant riverbank, suddenly came Xing Yuan's loud laughter.
"Hahaha—! After hearing that description, I originally thought you were the inheritor of the Power of the River God (He Bo), I didn't expect you were just a fake?!"
Lu Yibei tilted her head, "..." Fake? What does that mean?
"Despicable! I didn't expect you were actually Night Watch members, such despicable and shameless people, who actually secretly sent people onto the ship to ambush!" The River God roared angrily.
Lu Yibei frowned, "..." Listening to the meaning of these words, me causing a big fire on the ship seems to have caused some kind of negative impact on the River God?
"Today I will definitely... Ah—!"
Before the River God could finish his harsh words, Lu Yibei silently detonated a portion of the palm prints she left on the large ship, and the River God's painful scream immediately echoed throughout the sky around Baiyanzi Village.
Uh oh, it's not Bei Bei's business oh, I was just trying it out... Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, she shrunk her neck, hugged Du Sixian tightly, and sped up, sweeping towards the distance.
After taking Du Sixian to a safe place and settling her down, then I'll come back to help. Lu Yibei thought.
----
A moment ago, on the riverbank.
After the River God finished reciting that passage from "Nine Songs: He Bo," which described the inspection tour of the Yellow River water god He Bo in ancient mythology, the waves of the river behind him immediately surged to a terrifying degree.
Thick streams of water constantly rose from the small river, came behind him, and crisscrossed and hovered in mid-air.
The River God wearing red clothes and a white cloak stood proudly in mid-air, his clothes fluttering, his eyes looking down disdainfully, indeed had some of the demeanor of a deity.
Facing the River God in this state, Xing Yuan immediately felt the pressure double, she sent a retreat signal to Lu Yibei in advance, and then began to ponder inwardly.
If this River God truly inherited some of the Power of the Yellow River water god, his Spiritual Energy fluctuation level would definitely reach Calamity level.
The Yellow River bursting its banks, floating corpses for a thousand miles, is not a joke.
As a Night Watch Superintendent, Xing Yuan had personally witnessed how terrifying the strength of a Calamity level Psychic of a Night Watch member who possessed the 【Mythical Species: Wuzhiqi】Spirit Mark was.
By analogy, if a Calamity level Strange Tale exerted its full strength, for the two of them, A-level Spirit Ability User, it would be very difficult to confront it head-on, let alone suppress it.
However.
What made Xing Yuan feel puzzled was, could the Power of the Yellow River water god also have such strong control over the water veins of a Yangtze River tributary?
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revamped, which may cause the loss of reading progress, please save your 【book shelf】 and 【reading record】 in time (screenshot saving is recommended), for the inconvenience caused to you, please understand!
I always feel like there's a kind of sense of incongruity in using a neighboring country's imperial sword to execute officials of the current dynasty.
However.
Before Xing Yuan could figure out the reason, she saw the River God wave his arms, and two thick, muddy water columns, carrying dense, suffocating water vapor, roared over.
Accompanied by roars, amidst the loud noise, two water columns like rolling flood dragons stretched their bodies in the sky, showering down countless swirling high-speed water currents, as if the sharpest weapons in this world, cutting the ground back and forth.
Xing Yuan and Bai Kai swung their weapons to deflect the continuous onslaught of water streams, also realizing that if they didn't resist with Spiritual Energy, the lingering waves, as vast as a river, would cause tearing, stinging pain in their tiger mouths.
However, they exerted all their strength, passing through the dense water blades, approaching the River God, and after slashing with the sharp edges of their weapons, they were horrified to find that they couldn't cause any substantial damage.
It was like slashing at the surface of water.
Looking at the two resisting stubbornly, the River God couldn't help but sneer, "Heh, I told you long ago, the river is formless, how could it be defeated by such weak and powerless attacks?"
Hearing this, Xing Yuan and Bai Kai frowned almost simultaneously, a hint of wavering appearing in their hearts.
If they were facing a true Calamity level urban legend, the probability of winning was indeed minimal.
Retreating was possible, but Lu Yibei was still on the River God's large ship, so they couldn't retreat yet.
Seemingly sensing a slight wavering in the eyes of the two, a cold smile appeared on the River God's eerie face, just as he was about to pursue the victory, a loud explosion suddenly came from the large ship behind him.
"Boom—!"
A roar erupted, and crimson flames rose from the deck of the large ship, spreading along the hull like a long serpent flicking its tongue.
Screams of women in red dresses on the ship came in waves.
Beneath the fragments of the ship that were blown away, clumps of reddish-brown flesh, swollen and rotten as if soaked in river water, appeared. Under the scorching of the flames, these clumps of flesh emitted high-frequency wails that the human ear couldn't capture, and they writhed and retreated into the depths of the ship's cabin.
At the same time, the River God's complexion turned pale, and ripples spread beneath his skin as if water was surging.
Noticing the abnormality on the River God, Xing Yuan continued to dodge the increasingly fierce water blades while narrowing her eyes, her gaze shifting back and forth between Him and the large ship, lost in thought.
She felt something quietly rising in her mind, as if she could grasp it with a simple reach.
At this moment, another explosion sounded, a mighty roar.
A more violent explosion erupted from within the large ship, and blazing flames rose from the sleeping quarters built hollowed out in the ship's belly, breaking through the colorful glazed dome and rising with thick smoke into dark clouds above the large ship, spewing fire.
The River God's body in the sky trembled again, his form unstable and almost falling from the sky. A lump of flesh suddenly bulged high on his back, and with a "Splash!" sound like a bursting bubble, a patch of turbid mud splashed out.
Seeing this, Xing Yuan's pupils constricted slightly. She quickly turned to look at Bai Kai, wanting to warn him, but saw that Bai Kai, as if they had a tacit understanding, looked at her at the same time and nodded slightly, saying, "I see it. That ship is this guy's main body. He was just putting on a show just now."
So, all their attacks just now did indeed land on the water flow.
And the attacks all landed on the clone constructed by the main body using water flow, so how could they cause substantial damage?
Xing Yuan nodded, turned to look at the River God in the sky, and let out a burst of laughter.
The River God roared in anger, and a few more hints of coldness appeared in his eerie eyes.
Then...
The ship exploded again, and again, and again.
"Boom—!"
Amidst the thunderous roar, like the earth cracking open, dazzling cracks spread across the massive ship's hull, tearing through the ship with irresistible force, spewing flames, and in the intense high-frequency wailing, charred flesh was exposed to view.
The ship's hull trembled violently, and large swathes of reddish-brown flesh rolled. Countless blurred human faces and twisted limbs, as if wrapped in mud, appeared beneath the flesh, and quickly sank into the depths of the mud.
The River God, who was suspended in mid-air calling forth wind and rain, had already fallen, as if severely injured, clutching his chest and gasping violently.
Seeing this scene, Xing Yuan and Bai Kai were even more convinced that He had not inherited much, or even any, of the Yellow River River God's Power. Perhaps even the description just now was just something He made up to confuse the enemy.
Since that was the case, the River God could not be a Calamity level urban legend, and thus could be defeated! freёwebnoѵel.com
Their fighting spirit was unprecedented. After exchanging glances, they joined forces and charged forward.
"Xiao Bai, I suddenly remembered the time we hunted the Zombie King," Xing Yuan whispered.
Bai Kai nodded and said softly, "That's right. At that time, we also faced the enemy together like this."
"I miss it so much!"
"It's okay, we can act together often in the future."
River God, "..."
At this moment, He knew that his main body had been seen through by the enemy and his situation was dangerous. He couldn't be bothered to denounce these two who seized every opportunity to show off endlessly. He gritted his teeth fiercely, while desperately urging his Spiritual Energy to control the water flow to intercept the two, and at the same time turned and flew towards the large ship behind him, where flames were soaring.
As long as he reintegrated the separated consciousness into his main body, He was still fully confident. What truly made Him feel apprehensive was the person hiding on the ship setting the fire. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The crimson flames did not extinguish when encountering water and required a considerable amount of Spiritual Energy to wrap the water flow and flush it to control the fire. It always made Him feel that it was a bit strange...
Before long, upon reaching the riverbank, the River God leaped towards the river surface.
In an instant, the river surface, which had just been calm for a moment, became turbulent again. Surging water flowed, as if welcoming the River God's arrival, enveloping Him and slowly carrying his figure into the river.
Immediately after, a towering water column suddenly rose from beneath the large ship, like a waterfall flowing backward, engulfing the large ship.
As tens of thousands of tons of river water lifted the large ship into the air, enveloping it like a giant crystal ball craft, on the ship's bow deck, the River God, naked from the waist up, emerged from the writhing reddish-brown flesh, spreading his arms and pouring Spiritual Energy into the water.
With a soft "Hiss!" sound, all the flames on the large ship were extinguished.
Then.
Accompanied by the roar of the loud horn blown by the Yaksha strongmen on the ship, tentacle arms formed from reddish-brown flesh broke through the ship's hull and extended out, dancing powerfully.
The river water vibrated, and the wind and rain intensified.
Dazzling lightning appeared from the void, intertwining into long spears, and rained down in all directions.
Lu Yibei, who had just sent Du Sixian to a safe place and returned, was hiding in the distant mountains and saw this scene from afar, pouting with a look of disgust.
"After all that, it turns out to be something like this? Then when I left my palm print on the ship just now, wasn't that equivalent to stroking His body?"
"Hiss—! Just thinking about it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable!"
Ship man, no good!
Ship girl, good!
----
Amidst the lightning, thunder, wind, and rain, the River God, driving his massive body, flew towards Bai Kai and Xing Yuan, casting a huge shadow on the ground.
"You had a chance to surrender. Originally, you only needed to serve as servants on the ship for thirty years, and I would return your freedom. Now, only your deaths can extinguish the anger in my heart."
"No! Only by flooding the city can I vent the hatred in my heart!"
Hearing this, Xing Yuan and Bai Kai's hearts tightened. Although they were confident in hunting the River God after confirming that He was not a genuine Calamity level urban legend.
However, this River God was also a top-tier existence among A-Level urban legend. If He acted recklessly and caused a flood, the resulting destruction would be something they could not control.
Just as they were contemplating, a soft shout came from the entrance of Baiyanzi Village. Following the sound, a young girl in Qingyi, carrying a broken sword, slowly walked over.
"Please wait a moment! I heard there's a urban legend here who wants to flood Hua City?" The girl looked up at the colossal figure in the sky and said, "Did you ask me?"
The River God in the sky furrowed his brow slightly, tilting his head and scrutinizing the girl below, his gaze as if asking, "Who are you, sir?!"
"I am..."
Lu Yibei was still brewing, but Xing Yuan raised an eyebrow and cut in before her to introduce her.
"You're finished. This is a good partner of the Night Watch, the Master of Hua City urban legend, the Demoness who rules the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the urban legend who slaughters the Plague Tai Sui, the God of Fire and Drought, Disaster!"
After speaking, she also raised an eyebrow at Lu Yibei, her eyes as if saying, "You're welcome!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
Damn! I suddenly have a feeling that I'll never be able to say the title I thought of for myself in this lifetime.
