Free Web Novel“That’s right, that’s right, Gu Qianqian, you’re finally acting like a protagonist should! A protagonist should be like this: a club in hand, charging through everything!”
Gu Qianqian slowly landed, looked around, and muttered softly, “But if a girl is too rough, will she not be able to get married later?”
System, “...”
“System?”
“System? Say something!”
Gu Qianqian called out twice in a row, and then she heard a mechanical response in her ear.
“I am terribly sorry, signal connection has been affected by a mysterious force, your friend 【Super Pretty Girl Demon Slaying System】 has disconnected!”
“Hmm...disconnected again?”
Gu Qianqian muttered softly, holding the metal club in one hand, her toes pressing against the ground. With a loud crack of earth and stone, she leaped several meters, soaring towards the urban legend ahead.
She didn't take the system's disconnection to heart; in the past, the system would occasionally fall silent like this, explaining it as “bad signal.”
Gu Qianqian believed this implicitly, so she decided to get down to business first!
Gu Qianqian’s earth-shattering return surprised Lu Yibei. It wasn’t until Gu Qianqian charged over, the strong wind cutting her face, that she suddenly woke up.
What was that just now? A guardian spirit? A summoned beast? Or a Stand user?
Lu Yibei grumbled inwardly, quickly adopting a “I don’t know this urban legend” posture, and retreated a good distance.
As she left, she left the urban legend with a meaningful “expression.”
(≖。≖)✧
urban legend, “...” What was that? Why did she glare at me coldly as she left?
A Witch Seed with an upper-level Psychic fluctuation, bringing a Psychic with a middle-level Psychic fluctuation, appearing in my territory on a moonless night...
I understand! This must be a senior bringing a junior or a dependent out to hunt and gain experience to strengthen themselves, right?! That look in her eyes was a warning for me not to act rashly!
At this thought, the urban legend’ heart instantly went cold by half. It hadn’t expected such a low-probability event, which only existed in rumors, to actually happen to it one day.
Seeing that the urban legend didn't seem to understand the profound meaning of 【See that? That’s what happens if you don’t finish them off!】 from her “expression,” Lu Yibei didn't bother to explain. She confirmed Gu Qianqian’s approximate location with a glance, then turned and ran in the completely opposite direction.
Meeting Gu Qianqian twice in places where urban legend appeared, combined with the terrifying combat power she displayed, made Lu Yibei have many conjectures about her identity.
She might also be a urban legend, or someone specializing in hunting urban legend.
She wondered if she had any way of recognizing her; if she held a grudge and sought revenge, it would be troublesome. Moreover, her current state was also considered a urban legend, so it was very possible she would attack her.
Lu Yibei compared their combat strengths in her mind: Gu Qianqian was a urban legend hunter with abilities similar to a Stand user, while she was a Demon, er, a Demon Man, who only knew how to generate heat!
She had knocked her out by surprise before, which involved a lot of luck and didn't mean she had a chance of winning in a life-or-death struggle.
When unsure of the difference in strength between them, it's better to create some distance first, right? That way, whether to fight or retreat, there will be enough buffer!
Lu Yibei thought, walking with her back to Gu Qianqian. In the silence, wind and rain swept through, followed by an angry roar that echoed in her ears, surging like a tsunami.
Amidst that roar, her mind wavered, and she couldn't help but stop and turn back. Then she witnessed the scene of Gu Qianqian executing the urban legend.
Yes, it was an execution. That shocking yet solemn scene left Lu Yibei unable to think of any other more fitting adjectives for a moment.
Gu Qianqian gripped the metal club tightly with both hands, raising it high. The next moment, a gigantic arm of black iron color appeared behind her, carrying a mountain-like heavy aura, gently supporting her arm. As the club smashed down, the tremor gradually intensified.
At first, it was just a faint tremor, then it turned into a roar!
Like an axe cleaving, like surging waves, like the earth cracking.
Facing the terrifying Psychic fluctuation, the flesh within ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) the gaps of the urban legend' ribs, which protruded from its armpits, surged for a moment, then scattered, transforming into a swarm of pale strange fish that flew towards the metal club.
Thick fog gathered from all directions, and under the strange fish’s guidance, it condensed into a barrier, that grayish-white color, like boiling lime.
Then, the barrier formed by the thick fog was torn apart.
Under the immense pressure of a force that could move mountains and fill seas, the urban legend began to twist and deform, its bones making cracking sounds, and fissures slowly bloomed across its body surface.
The bloody scene of flesh splattering, which Lu Yibei had anticipated, did not occur.
The moment the club touched it, it completely shattered, scattering into a pile of dead fish, and then those dead fish also turned into powder.
In the blink of an eye, the urban legend was reduced to only a fist-sized, fish-eye-shaped Eyeball.
The gigantic arm phantom behind Gu Qianqian gradually dissipated. She looked as if she had just undergone intense exercise, appearing completely exhausted, her face pale, sweat on her forehead, and breathing heavily.
“Hoo—hoo—!”
After her breathing had somewhat stabilized, she took two steps forward, bent down, and picked up the Eyeball from the ground. When the Eyeball was picked up, it struggled a few times like a fish.
She held the Eyeball, swung it in the air, and muttered to herself, “System, this is its main body, right? Is the mission complete now?”
Gu Qianqian asked, and then the system's prompt sounded in her mind.
“Congratulations, cough, congratulations, Host, for completing the mission! You have received 200 points and a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Elixir.”
“Ding-dong—! You have a Marrow Cleansing Elixir waiting to be claimed. Would you like to claim it now?”
Gu Qianqian paused, looked at the Eyeball in her hand with a puzzled expression, and scratched the back of her head, “System, don’t I need to retrieve the urban legend’ main body this time?”
“No need.”
“Huh!? Then what should I do with this?”
“Give it to her!”
“Who?” Gu Qianqian tilted her head, looking around, but saw no one.
On the other side, Lu Yibei was prostrate in the bushes, clutching the mingwang statue, secretly observing Gu Qianqian through the gaps in the branches.
Just then, her finger inadvertently brushed across the chest of the mingwang statue, and she immediately felt a warm current from her fingertip being absorbed into the mingwang statue.
Lu Yibei, “???” What’s going on? I just brushed it, and it’s absorbing me again!
The next moment, the mingwang statue glowed brightly with golden light and began to chant Sanskrit loudly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Damn it! Could it be that the mingwang statue is actually an AI speaker? Where’s the switch for this thing!
“Duang! Duang!” Lu Yibei slapped the mingwang statue twice fiercely, and then its golden light became even brighter, and the Sanskrit chanting grew even louder.
Lu Yibei, “...”
With the mingwang statue's glowing and vocal positioning, Gu Qianqian finally located Lu Yibei's
“sneaky” figure. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she said happily, “Ah! We found her!”

Immediately, she glanced at the Eyeball in her hand again, frowned slightly, and said, “But why give her something like this?”
“Just consider it an act of kindness, building good karma!” the System said. “Think of it as throwing a piece of meat to a hungry wolf to buy time to escape!”
“Oh, now that you put it that way, I can accept it. But are you very familiar with her?”
There was a moment of silence.
It wasn’t until Gu Qianqian started to suspect that the system had disconnected again that it quietly explained, “Do you remember the Demoness, the Disaster, I mentioned to you?” Its voice trembled slightly.
“I remember! Lu Yibei, right? I’ll empty her campus card sooner or later to get revenge for that one hammer!” Gu Qianqian said fiercely.
How are you going to get revenge?! Why would she let you swipe her campus card? Are you her mother or her wife? The system secretly grumbled, then said wistfully, “She is Lu Yibei! We snatched her...”
“You’re full of it!” Gu Qianqian interrupted, “Stop lying! I’m not stupid! How could that be Lu Yibei? That’s clearly a cute little sister!”
The system was speechless for a moment, “...” Are you stupid! Where is she cute?
Isn’t it just that her features are a bit delicate, her eyes a bit big, her figure a bit well-proportioned, her temperament soft and adorable... Uh, she does seem pretty cute, but that’s all an illusion!
Don't ever judge the danger level of a urban legend by its appearance, hey! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
While the system was silent, Gu Qianqian waved her hand and shouted at Lu Yibei, “Little sister! Little sister! Come here for a moment!”
Hearing Gu Qianqian's call, Lu Yibei paused, then reluctantly stood up from the bushes and pointed at the tip of her own nose.
Seeing this, Gu Qianqian smiled and nodded.
Lu Yibei narrowed her eyes slightly.
It seems she doesn’t have the ability to discern my true identity, but what does she want me to come over for?
Seeing Lu Yibei unmoved, Gu Qianqian raised the Eyeball in her hand and waved again, “Little sister, come here, I’ll give you this! Hehehe!”
Lu Yibei gazed at the Eyeball in Gu Qianqian’s hand, feeling a surge of hunger, as if her entire body was uncontrollably craving it.
Is that the “food” that can alleviate hunger? Lu Yibei thought.
But...
Why does it feel like a creepy uncle saying, “Little sister, come here, I’ll give you candy!”?
No! Damn it! You’re the little sister!
She thought angrily, shaking her head.
“System, she’s not coming over, so I’ll go instead.” Gu Qianqian said, then walked towards Lu Yibei.
System, “!!!”
Oh my god! What kind of suicidal behavior is this!
At this point in time, the Disaster has probably already hunted down three Night Watch members and completed her transformation! Clashing with her now is just asking for death!
Perhaps only when “that day” arrives, by seizing the initiative, will there be a chance of winning?
“Gu Qianqian, shut up! Don’t seek death! Run! Throw the urban legend’ core to her! Run quickly! It’ll be too late if you don’t hurry!”
“Don’t rush me, don’t rush me!” Gu Qianqian muttered, “I’ll just deliver it to her and leave. What if I throw it and it falls on the ground and gets dirty?”
System, “...”
【Mission: Throw the River Ape Ghost's core to the Disaster and evacuate the scene within one minute! Complete the mission to receive a 500-point reward.】
To make Gu Qianqian evacuate the scene obediently, the system gritted its teeth and went all out.
“Eh?!” The mission prompt suddenly sounded in her mind, and Gu Qianqian couldn’t help but pause, a difficult expression on her face as she examined the Eyeball in her hand. She then looked at the hesitant Lu Yibei in the distance, sighed helplessly, and with a flick of her hand, forcefully threw the Eyeball towards her.
“Whoosh—!” The Eyeball flew in a straight line, and a sonic boom suddenly appeared.
Lu Yibei’s heart jolted, her pupils contracted sharply, and she hurriedly lunged forward. Immediately after, she heard a teeth-grinding sound of the Eyeball spinning and rubbing against the lamppost behind her.
Damn it! What the hell is this trying to do? Are you a cultural inheritor of The Prince of Tennis?
Lu Yibei grumbled inwardly, then stood up and looked at Gu Qianqian with a resentful gaze, but suddenly realized that she had already run a long distance, her figure a barely discernible dot at the end of the misty street.
Lu Yibei, “???”
Why did she run?
And...
Lu Yibei, full of doubts, looked back at the Eyeball embedded in the bent lamppost.
She even gave this thing directly to me. This thing should be quite valuable, right?
But...
How do I eat this thing?
Lu Yibei examined the Eyeball, her brows tightly furrowed.
It was an Eyeball covered in scales and viscous fluid, murky and lifeless like a fish eye, wide open, covered with dense small holes. Faintly, one could see tiny strange fish hidden within the holes, blinking occasionally, causing those small strange fish to poke their heads out and sway.
“Ugh—!”
The thought of having to eat such a thing made Lu Yibei involuntarily gag.
Although psychologically difficult to accept, Lu Yibei gazed at the Eyeball, and her body gradually reacted. She felt as if a sharp-nailed hand was scratching inside her abdomen, and waves of sour liquid rose.
Hunger was like a hook coated with anesthetic, catching your nerves, and with a gentle pull, it would paralyze them, making one lose all reason.
“Gulp—!” Lu Yibei swallowed hard, raising her hand several times and putting it down again, her psychological repulsion and instinctive craving clashing incessantly.
Just as she raised her hand once more, reaching for the Eyeball, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew.
Lu Yibei turned to look and saw a masked man in black suddenly appear from the shadows, sweeping past her side, and passing the bent lamppost. The Eyeball embedded in it vanished without a trace.
“Who are you? Wait, you...”
Discovering that the Eyeball had vanished, Lu Yibei instantly snapped back to attention and instinctively chased after the masked man in black, reaching out and grabbing his clothes.
Feeling a tug from behind, the man in black sharply turned his head, his gaze coldly sweeping over Lu Yibei, followed by a tremor in his body.
“Rip—!”
The back of his clothes tore with a sound. Through the torn seam, one could vaguely see a black sun totem-shaped tattoo on his wheat-colored back.
After gazing at the tattoo on the man in black’s back for a second or two, Lu Yibei’s eyes suddenly felt a strong burning pain, and her vision instantly blurred.
