When Lu Yibei opened her eyes, she saw purple gauze bed curtains embroidered with silver peonies, and lamplight flickered outside the curtains.
The strange smell of traditional Chinese medicine was accompanied by the rustling sound of a sand timer.
As she moved slightly, a tearing pain spread throughout her body.
It felt like dozens of road rollers had been thrown onto her.
"Mmm~!"
The intense pain made her let out a muffled groan.
"Creak—!"
As if hearing the sound Lu Yibei made, someone pushed the door open, came to the bed, and lifted the bed curtains.
Embroidery Ball poked half her head in from outside the curtains and smiled meaningfully, "You're awake? You're now our..."
"Are you trying to say I'm already the top Miss of your brothel?"
Embroidery Ball, "..."
"Can't you come up with something new?"
Lu Yibei habitually threw out trash talk, interrupting Embroidery Ball's speech.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a tingling sensation like an electric shock rise from her right arm, spreading all the way to her mouth. The numbness then gradually faded, turning into intense pain.
At that moment, she felt like her mouth was going to explode.
Damn it! Didn't Chatterbox Girl say that the world's malice on me had been completely eliminated?
Why do I feel like I've been tricked?
If a person is alive and can't even say trash talk, what's the point?
Lu Yibei grumbled inwardly, looking at Embroidery Ball with a puzzled gaze. She saw Embroidery Ball standing with her arms crossed, a smug smile on her face.
"Are you asking me why you're here?"
Lu Yibei endured the pain and nodded.
"Of course, it was my Master who was merciful and saved your little life!" Embroidery Ball pouted, "Speaking of which, that Big Boss really hates you to the bone!"
"Do you know, when I found you, you were so grotesquely shaped, you couldn't pass moderation even with several layers of mosaic!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
I only took one hit, why did she make it sound so terrible?
Like I was smashed into meat paste?
"Don't you dare not believe it!"
Embroidery Ball twitched the corner of her mouth and continued, "Even after being severely injured by the world's malice, the Big Boss still spent a massive amount of Spiritual Energy to inject into that giant's body, almost restoring fifty to sixty percent of the Hundred-Armed Giant's miraculous Power."
"My Master invited the best witch doctor from Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy. After seeing your condition, he just shook his head. If your situation wasn't a bit special, we would have been celebrating a village feast by now."
"Special situation?" Lu Yibei asked, and immediately another wave of intense pain struck her entire face.
Seeing her appearance, where her eyebrows were twitching from pain, Embroidery Ball rolled her eyes, "I don't really understand the specifics. In a way I can understand, it's probably because the core of your Witch Seed urban legend body has a strong blood-producing function?"
"Oh, right, the witch doctor who treated you said that the core of your Mythical Seed urban legend body is probably out of commission for now..."
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment and said excitedly, "For now? Then I have to wait... Hiss ah—!"
In fact, Lu Yibei had always been quite resistant to using the Witch Seed's power. Compared to the powerful, majestic strength of the Mythical Seed, the Witch Seed's power felt cold, eerie, and full of bloody killing intent, which she never liked.
Chatterbox Girl had also warned her not to keep switching back and forth, or there would be big problems.
Most importantly, it was the witchs egg that had turned her into this ghastly state. How could she not hold a grudge?
Seeing Lu Yibei's sudden extreme reaction, writhing in pain on the bed, Embroidery Ball tilted her head and said crossly, "Wait until when can you use it?"
Lu Yibei recovered slightly and nodded at Embroidery Ball.
"That's hard to say." Embroidery Ball shrugged, "My Master said she can't help you remove the Hundred-Armed Giant's Power. In other words, that power will continue to damage your body and the core of your urban legend body until its energy is depleted, or..."
Pausing, she raised an eyebrow at Lu Yibei, "Or, you suppress it, tame it, make it your own, and finally release it like casting a Spell."
"However, we don't have a way to suppress that power for now. You'll have to try it yourself."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei recalled the terrifying and pure destructive power carried on the arms of that golden-armored giant, and her eyes slightly narrowed.
If she could use that kind of power, even with a limited number of uses, it could potentially become a great weapon!
As for how to suppress it, she could slowly try it in her dreams, just like when she practiced swordsmanship with Qingji before.
Anyway, she wouldn't truly die in her dreams. At worst, she could just try a few more times.
Is there any problem in this world that a despicable adventurer with infinite resurrections can't overcome? Lu Yibei thought excitedly.
Seeing her eyes slightly trembling, looking somewhat excited, Embroidery Ball stood up and stretched.
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. I'm sure most of your questions have been answered. Now I should go report back to my Master."
"Also, my Master said that once you recover enough to move freely, you can leave here at any time."
After speaking, Embroidery Ball turned and walked out of the room.
Seeing her about to leave, Lu Yibei slightly straightened up and called out softly, "Wait!"
Hearing this, Embroidery Ball stopped and looked back at Lu Yibei, "Is there anything else?"
"Are you asking where my Master went? She's busy reinforcing the Big Boss's seal, building a mint, taking over the Entertainment City, and negotiating profit distribution with Jade Palace Immortal. She doesn't have time for you."
Lu Yibei shook her head.
She wasn't asking about that, but the action of getting up just now aggravated her injuries all over her body, making her unable to speak for a moment.
"..." Embroidery Ball bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and probed, "Then, are you asking why my Master saved you?"
"Well, my Master said you owe her a life, and you'll have to repay it later."
As an Extinction-Bringer of Old Days, Black Peony naturally knew what her fate would be if the world-ending factors successfully destroyed the world. Even if they failed, it would cause massive upheaval.
With the storm brewing, wanting to live well and preparing for the worst, having Lu Yibei owe her a life was also an excellent choice.
Moreover, she was quite wary of that powerful being who used the red thread of fate to forcibly change Lu Yibei's destiny.
If Lu Yibei died, that genius expert might very well come knocking on her door directly.
Owe her a life? Lu Yibei shook her head again.
After resting for a moment, allowing her to regain the strength to speak, she looked intently at Embroidery Ball and said seriously, "Then what about my 【Flower of Parallel Time-Space Distortion】 figurine? Is it still there? It must be there, right? It's definitely there, right?"
That misprinted White Little Flower figurine was pawned to the Entertainment City by a gambler. It wasn't conjured by the Big Boss using his Power, so it didn't turn into quicksand with the Entertainment City's destruction.
Throughout her escape, Lu Yibei had carefully protected it until the moment she completely lost consciousness.
Embroidery Ball, "..."
That's it?
With such a large bag of things, you don't care about the legendary weapons, you don't care about the statue containing the remains of a Calamity level urban legend, you don't care about a pile of precious Alchemy materials, you only care about a plastic figure?
Although it's normal for world-ending factors to be a bit abnormal, but... what are you thinking?
Grumbling inwardly, Embroidery Ball rolled her eyes and said flatly, "It's gone."
As her voice fell, Lu Yibei's eyes turned red, her body trembled violently, and with a "thump!", she fell back onto the bed. The intense pain in her body and mind struck simultaneously, and she instantly lost consciousness.
And so...
After recuperating in bed at the Lanruo Inn Brothel for seven or eight days, Lu Yibei, who had barely regained her mobility, embarked on her journey home.
----
Under the cover of night, a taxi sped through the empty streets of Hua City.
After listening to Lu Yibei's story, which cut off the beginning and end and omitted unnecessary details, Zhang Shan's eyes widened.

"You mean, there's a place like that in this world?"
A casino that could fulfill all wishes, and a brothel that could satisfy all XP systems, were simply too amazing for Zhang Shan. Coupled with Lu Yibei's vivid narration, it was as if he had personally experienced a wonderful journey.
However...
Since she finished telling the story, won't I have nothing to say?
Zhang Shan thought, glancing at the bullet comments on his phone out of the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Daoist Priest Mi from Qingcheng Mountain: "The content is too vulgar and violent, it has corrupted my child, already reported."
Netizen Laosepi Eight Hundred Five: "Male viewers get lost, let the female streamer broadcast!"
I am from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor sent out Rocket ×5
I am from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor: "A brothel surrounded by beauties, a casino where you can spend lavishly, and a wasteland with giant humanoid mechs... I really want to experience it firsthand!"
Netizen Laosepi 850: "Brother Rich is right!"
Water-boiled Mermaid: "Seconded!"
I am from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor: "Everyone, how about we arrange to go together another day? I really want to touch a giant humanoid mech with my own hands! It would be even better if I could take one back for my collection."
Thus, the screen was filled with question marks flying by.
----
Lu Yibei returned home, and as soon as she opened the door, she sensed something was off. freёwebnoѵel.com
She slowly walked into the room, turned on the light, looked around for a while, and her brows furrowed.
Although she sensed something was off, the arrangement and furnishings were as usual, and the doors and windows were tightly closed, but she just felt that something was not right, yet she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
"......"
In silence, she quietly drew the Lingtai Pure Karma from the metal box on her back and held it in her right hand, while silently chanting a spell in her heart, condensing a Red Flame Flash at her left fingertip, then walked carefully along the wall, pausing with each step, into the room.
Three minutes later.
After carefully searching the entire house, Lu Yibei stood in the center of the living room, lost in thought.
Although she didn't find any hidden threats, she still felt that something was wrong!
It was as if someone had touched her things, even if they were put back exactly where they were, her intuition still felt a change...
Lu Yibei muttered inwardly and called out softly twice, "Maotuan (Hairball)? Are you there? Come out quickly!"
Her calls echoed through the house, receiving no response; the Little Freak at home had gone off to play somewhere again.
After lingering in the living room for a moment, Lu Yibei silently sighed, put down the metal box on her back and opened it, took out her Coat, and then slowly walked upstairs.
She had more important things to do.
For more than a week, Lu Yibei stayed at the Lanruo Inn Brothel. Perhaps due to the influence of the flesh and blood tunnel's power, or perhaps because of ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ her severe injuries, she hadn't had any dreams after falling asleep every night.
Now that she was finally back home, she couldn't wait to try to enter her dream and begin conquering the Power of the Hundred-Armed Giant. freёwebnovel.com
However, lying on the familiar bed, her eyes were tightly shut, and her eyebrows were furrowed.
Time passed little by little, but Lu Yibei found it difficult to fall asleep for a long time.
After tossing and turning for more than an hour, she suddenly seemed to realize something, abruptly opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling, and let out a low growl.
"Wrong! Someone slept in my bed!"
As she spoke, enduring the faint pain from her bandaged body, she quickly got out of bed, turned on the light, stuck her butt out, and crawled on the bed carpet to search, then found a fingernail-sized mark, soaked with liquid, on the corner of the pillow.
Staring at that small mark, Lu Yibei slightly narrowed her eyes and muttered, "Damn it! Which bastard was it? Not only slept in my bed, but also drooled? If I catch you, you're going to get what's coming to you!"
She cursed and grumbled, then got up and walked towards the storage room, opened a closet door, and was stunned by the sight inside.
In the closet, there were originally two sets of four-piece bedding sets bought from the official flagship store of love and magical girls merchandise. However, there were no White Little Flower four-piece sets in the closet now, only two sets of light grey pure cotton four-piece sets, incredibly plain.
"Bastard! You're not human! Killing someone is bad enough, but you have to attack their heart too, who did this?!"
Ignoring the pain, Lu Yibei let out a heartbroken wail.
----
2:30 AM, Tang City, Peach Blossom Road.
"Ding-a-ling - Ding-a-ling -!"
Accompanied by a gentle sound of wind chimes, someone came out of the Chunfeng Residence, carefully locked the door, turned around, and walked out along the alley.
Under the night sky, fine snowflakes slowly drifted down from the sky.
A young woman wearing a cheongsam, holding a blue-and-white porcelain hand warmer inlaid with silver auspicious cloud and peacock patterns in one hand and a long, slender pipe in the other, strolled through the snow, walking along the dimly lit alley towards the main street.
In the wind and snow, her graceful figure, accompanied by her leisurely steps, swayed gently with a seductive yet natural charm, like a delicate peach blossom blooming in early spring, lovable and endearing.
Upon reaching the main street, after standing by the roadside and waiting briefly, she gently waved her hand, flagged down a passing taxi, opened the car door, and sat in the back seat.
"To Taoyuanli Scenic Area... the back gate."
"Okay." The taxi driver responded, then started the car and drove along the street towards the scenic area located in the distant suburbs.
The taxi driver seemed to be an introverted person, remaining silent throughout the journey.
The young woman also said little. After getting in the car, she rolled down the window, slowly puffing on her pipe while looking at the ancient city scenery constantly changing in the snow outside the window. Her ink-green hair, like silk, swayed gently in the wind, and her eyes were hazy, as if she had drunk half a catty of aged fine wine.
When the taxi finally arrived near the secluded and deserted back gate of Taoyuanli Scenic Area, it stopped.
However, the driver remained silent at this point, seemingly neither urging the young woman to get out nor asking her for the fare.
In the silence, the young woman withdrew her gaze, lazily raised her hand, pointed her slender fingertip at the back of the driver's head, and a cruel smile appeared on her cherry-colored thin lips.
"Biang--!"
Accompanied by a sound mimicking a gunshot, a thin, dazzling emerald green light burst from her fingertip, piercing the driver's skull like the sharpest weapon in the world, leaving spiderweb-like cracks on the windshield, and finally landing in the valley, disappearing without a trace.
The entire process, except for the young woman's soft murmur, made no sound, just like a spring breeze passing by.
As if nothing had happened, the young woman got out of the car unhurriedly. In the driver's seat, the driver slowly slumped onto the seat. Tender green branches quickly grew out from under his skin, and after a few breaths, they grew into a large tree with intertwined roots, engulfing the entire car.
Walking on the road leading to the scenic area, footsteps soon came from behind the young woman. Two men in simple and plain clothes caught up with her and performed a strange gesture of greeting towards her.
It was like a bird spreading its wings.
The young woman glanced at the two men out of the corner of her eye, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Oh? It's the two boys from the Zhuge family? You've come at the right time, clean up that scum over there."
The two men exchanged glances and bowed respectfully to the young woman, "We respectfully obey the order of Lord Ju Meng."
Hearing this, the young woman waved her hand and said impatiently, "I've told you many times, don't do these useless rituals, it makes me look like some tyrannical gentry or local emperor, it's annoying."
The two men bowed even lower, "Lord Ju Meng is right to scold us, your subordinates respectfully obey your teachings."
"......" Ju Meng looked at the two men out of the corner of her eye, hesitated several times to speak, and finally sighed silently, saying indifferently, "Alright, that's enough! When you're dealing with that scum later, be careful of the stuff in his belly!"
Guizi Jiang, also called Parasitic Jiang, has almost no Spiritual Energy fluctuations after parasitizing in a human body, but can achieve an effect similar to a familiar mark. If necessary, it can also detach from the host and transfer the parasitic target.
It is a hidden, efficient, and evil Spell.
However...
"What kind of situation hasn't this old lady seen? Trying to track me with this kind of trashy stuff? Are their brains full of shit?!"
"Damn it, why do unruly people always want to harm me?"
Ju Meng said, grumbling, and walked away with a pout towards the depths of the mountain forest, all the way into the huge cave that had been rarely visited for thousands of years.
Someone had targeted her tomb, and she always felt uneasy. After pestering Turtle Elder, she finally got a sum of money, bought some materials, and planned to reinforce the barrier slightly.
However...
What kind of urban legend is she, Ju Meng? She is the King of Weird Tales of these eight hundred li!
When she goes to buy materials from those Psychic and urban legend, she can get at least a 30-40% discount.
The saved funds... Hehe~! Of course, are for squandering!
