Free Web NovelWaking up every morning and seeing a beautiful girl is a happy thing.
The confusing mysteries in my heart finally becoming clear is also a happy thing.
Two happy things intertwined together should have produced greater happiness, but...
If the price is turning into a beautiful girl, then 'damn' it is.
In the bathroom, Lu Yibei stared blankly at the girl in the mirror, her eye twitching uncontrollably.
Although she had experienced similar things in her dream memories, she still couldn't quite accept it when this situation happened in the 'real' world.
'Damn! Do you want this old man to get used to this after experiencing it once?' Lu Yibei cursed in a low voice. Immediately after, her eyes darkened, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds.
Her body had indeed undergone a 'magical' change, just like in her dream memories, which further proved the authenticity of the dream memories.
It also meant that everything she had experienced in the past eighteen years with Ms. Wang Meili and Nanling Yaohua was gradually moving away from her, turning into illusion.
Compared to waking up and transforming from a seven-foot muscular man into a beautiful girl, this was what she could least accept.
Just as Lu Yibei was feeling melancholic and doubting her life.
As if to stop her from following this train of thought, her brain suddenly began to throb intensely.
The throbbing pain felt as if something hard and sharp had been plunged into her head through her temple, churning back and forth wildly, unbearable in its intensity.
The sudden pain made her face turn pale and her body sway. She quickly steadied herself by gripping the washstand, preventing herself from collapsing due to the pain. freēwebnovel.com
Along with the throbbing in her brain, the strange noise she had heard in her dream echoed in her ears once more.
In her slightly burning eyes, light and shadow distorted. The colors within her sight, the vibrant ones became even more vivid, and the dark ones became even deeper.
The noise in her ears grew stronger, causing confusion. Just as Lu Yibei felt herself on the verge of madness, amidst that cacophony, she suddenly heard a woman's soft whisper.
The voice was very light, distant, and indistinct. She desperately concentrated, trying to hear clearly, but only managed to catch a few fragmented words.
'...Where the sun and moon shine, where wind and rain reach, none shall disobey.'
Is this the description of a certain Strange Tale's Power? Lu Yibei made this judgment.
Originally, the memories related to the Strange Tale's Power were only vaguely present in her dream memories, as if shrouded in thick fog, making them unclear.
However, the moment she grasped that fragment of words, the fog covering that memory seemed to be blown away by the wind, and everything became clear.
'Holy crap! What I chanted in Half-Mountain Apartment yesterday was actually the description of the Power of a Strange Tale that controls marriage and fertility?' Lu Yibei lowered her head, her gaze falling on her lower abdomen, and took a sharp breath. 'Damn, she wouldn't respond to me and then bestow a child upon me, would she?'
Just as she was worrying whether that unknown deity would notice her existence, that incomplete description of Power echoed in her mind once more, without any warning.
'...Where the sun and moon shine, where wind and rain reach, none shall obey.'
In an instant, it was as if something within her was awakened. Her heart rate suddenly accelerated, and her blood surged through her body as if boiling. She felt unbearably hot all over, and her fair skin gradually showed a blush like that of someone drunk. In a moment, she was covered in fragrant sweat.
The bodily anomaly only lasted for about three seconds. As the quiet returned to her ears, the restless blood within Lu Yibei also settled down, as if nothing had happened.
“...”
With such an arrogant description of Power, I bet it's never been bagged and beaten before, right? Feeling her still wildly beating heart, Lu Yibei thought to herself.
A few seconds later, after the chaotic light and shadow in front of her completely dissipated, she raised her head and looked at the mirror in front of her, slightly startled.
The girl in the mirror was wearing an ill-fitting, oversized T-shirt that hung loosely, revealing her rounded, fragrant shoulders. Her slender legs extended from beneath the hem of the T-shirt that reached her upper thighs, a rather alluring sight.
Her face was a little pale, yet it showed a translucent, icy texture like white jade. Her facial features had soft lines, and her nose was both straight and beautiful.
In a pair of eyes that could be called dazzlingly bright, the outer corners were slightly upturned, mixing a hint of seductiveness with purity. Her thin lips, as if echoing her pinkish-white long hair, were adorned with a faint cherry color.
'Wait a minute...' Lu Yibei paused, slightly narrowing her eyes. 'How did this hair change color? And this face...'
There was a sense of déjà vu, yet she couldn't pinpoint what felt wrong.
Muttering to herself, she suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly, hurried out of the bathroom, and rushed into Ms. Wang Meili's bedroom.
In the bedroom, when she saw Ms. Wang Meili's artistic photo hanging on the wall, she was instantly struck as if by lightning, her body trembling.
In an instant, Ms. Wang Meili's face and the face of the girl in the mirror just now converged in Lu Yibei's mind. The overlap was as high as 88.8721%. The only difference was that Ms. Wang Meili's brows showed a bit more heroism, while in contrast, the girl had a seductive feeling.
Such a high degree of overlap was practically Ms. Wang Meili's 【Sixteen-Year-Old Limited · Seductive Bitch Special Edition】. If someone said they weren't related by blood, she probably wouldn't agree.
'Damn! This is outrageous! When Mom comes back and sees me like this, she'll definitely... be very happy, right?'
Lu Yibei muttered to herself bitterly. She could already imagine the scene: the unreliable Ms. Wang Meili, upon discovering she had a child, would laugh heartily, generously pull out her wallet, and take her to a women's clothing store for a shopping spree. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Lu Yibei still remembers how, during Chinese New Year when she was little, she happily went shopping with Ms. Wang Meili and Xiao Hua. As a result, by the end of the day, the two ladies had acquired numerous clothes and shoes, while he had spent the entire day as a tragic pack mule.
Even Nanling Yaohua, who was like half a daughter, received such treatment. If it were her own biological daughter, wouldn't it be a super double dose?
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei felt a headache coming on. She raised her hand and rubbed her throbbing forehead.
Things like making up for all the missing little dresses, lipsticks, pretty little shoes, etc., from the past eighteen years, all at once, dressing her up every single day of the year without repetition... this kind of thing...
Lu Yibei believed in Ms. Wang Meili's character; she could definitely do something like that.
The emptiness in the inner world of a widow who has been single for nineteen years is something ordinary people simply cannot imagine. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken so many inexplicable and useless exams just to fill her spiritual world.
'But... I should be able to change back before Mom comes back, right?' Lu Yibei muttered, reaching out to pull at her cheek.
Thinking that Ms. Wang Meili was still playing with king crabs in Alaska and wouldn't be back to 'harm' her anytime soon, she felt a little more at ease.
She remembered that in her dream memories, there was a setting that said 'you can return to normal by bathing in the morning sun.'
Maybe tomorrow morning, before sunrise, getting some sun will fix it?
It can't be that all the other settings work, but only this one doesn't, right? Lu Yibei thought.
'Perhaps, temporarily becoming like this isn't entirely a bad thing. Maybe...'
Lu Yibei raised her head and looked at the figure in the mirror in front of her, slightly narrowing her eyes.
The abandoned factory with the huge chimney, and the group of strange figures who kidnapped Gu Qianqian, her intuition told her that these scenes she saw in her dream were definitely related to the Xunzhen Mutual Aid Society, and also related to the method of going to the real world recorded in the notebook found in Half-Mountain Apartment.
Even the state where Gu Qianqian became like a ghost, invisible to everyone else except her, was because of what happened in that factory.
Lu Yibei felt that if the ability that appeared in her dream memories, which was beyond ordinary cognition, could be used now that her body had undergone strange changes, it might be a good thing.
This way, while searching for that abandoned factory and the members of the Xunzhen Mutual Aid Society, if she were to encounter a monster like the Mad Old Man again, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei lowered her head and looked at her fair, slender hands. After a slight contemplation, she followed the Spell from her dream memories and began to chant softly.
'Barren wilderness, straw, remains, the wind that fans the spark...'
As she chanted the Spell softly, she suddenly felt something indescribable within her become active. A legendary crimson flame quickly appeared at her fingertips.
Immediately after, the flame expanded rapidly at a visible speed, growing bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, bigger and...
Wait! Isn't this the simplest Spell from the dream memory? Why does it seem a little off!
Feeling the terrifying heat from the enormous fireball on her fingertip, Lu Yibei was startled, her eyes gradually filled with fear, and she quickly shook her hand, trying to shake off the fireball on her fingertip and stop its momentum of continued expansion.
However, the fireball seemed to be stuck to her fingertip, completely still, and continued to expand like a balloon being blown up.
The fiercely burning, wildly swaying flames seemed to be smiling at her with an evil and arrogant grin, "Woman! You started this fire, and now I'm so high I can't stop!"
Within the few seconds that she was flustered, the crimson fireball on her fingertip had expanded to the point where it completely obscured her reflection in the mirror.
And then...
"Boom—!"
The fireball spun out from her fingertip, carrying violent energy, and exploded in the bathroom. The entire room shook violently as if there was an earthquake.

The wall tiles and dressing mirror shattered, the metal panels of the ceiling tore, and sharp fragments, like bullets, flew at high speed in the bathroom along with the airwave.
They hit the walls, the ceiling, ripped through the shower curtain, and ripped through Lu Yibei's clothes.
A few seconds later.
Lu Yibei, feeling as if her body had been hollowed out, slumped in the messy bathroom, staring blankly at the ceiling.
On the ceiling, water columns sprayed from the twisted and damaged pipes, like a torrential downpour, and her wet long hair was messily stuck to her face.
Her oversized T-shirt looked as if it had been cut dozens of times with a knife, with dense, finger-sized holes all over it. When wet, it clung to her slender body, revealing her fair skin.
It wasn't until this moment that the information about the Spirit Mark talent skill in Lu Yibei's mind, from the dream memory, broke through the fog and gradually became clear.
Spirit Mark talent skill 【Spell Amplification】, amplification multiple, 0.01 to 53.4 times...
And so, Lu Yibei broke down.
"Bad thing, why didn't you say so earlier, why didn't you say so earlier?! Damn it, if you had said so earlier, would I have tried it at home?" she mumbled with a slight sob while hitting her head.
"It's like this, I can't possibly fix it before Mom comes back, right?"
At this moment, she deeply understood the importance of the elderly teaching children not to play with fire.
Whether she wet the bed tonight, she didn't know, but when Ms. Wang Meili returned, she would be beaten to death, that was for sure.

The neighbors in the faculty and staff compound were all warm-hearted people.
With such a big commotion at Lu Yibei's house, and flames over two meters high spraying out of the bathroom window, it was impossible for everyone not to be concerned.
Soon, the door to Lu Yibei's house was knocked.
"Dong dong dong—dong dong dong—!"
"Xiao Bei? Are you home? What happened at home? Why... why does it sound like an explosion? Are you okay?"
One problem after another.
Hearing the knocking and Granny Wang's voice from downstairs coming from the living room, Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, her heart instantly leaped to her throat, and all sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind at once.
It's over. If I don't open the door now, given the noise just now, Granny Wang will definitely call the fire department.
But if I open the door, and Granny Wang sees a Miss she doesn't know opening the door, who knows what gossip will spread!
If Granny Wang knows, all the grandmas in the complex will know, and if all the grandmas in the complex know, Xiao Hua will definitely know too...
How am I going to explain to Xiao Hua then? Say that I am Lu Yibei, but after sleeping, my split personality affected my body, so I turned into a young girl?
As Lu Yibei was thinking, a sudden idea flashed in her mind, and her flustered eyes instantly regained composure. Then she took a deep breath, got up, and walked towards Ms. Wang Meili's bedroom.
Then, she rummaged out Ms. Wang Meili's bathrobe, threw it on haphazardly, and before the feeling of shame could rise in her heart, she grabbed a face mask from the dressing table and ran towards the door in a hurry.
—
Three minutes later, at the entrance of Lu Yibei's house.
Granny Wang knocked on the door for a while, and seeing no response, a hint of worry appeared on her kind face. Immediately after, she took out her portable elderly phone and prepared to dial the fire alarm number.
Just then, the door of Lu Yibei's house opened with a "click."
"Xiao Bei, you finally opened the door, Grandma, I..."
Granny Wang said, raising her head to look behind the door, and when she saw the person who opened the door, she was slightly stunned, and her voice stopped abruptly.
Behind the door stood a woman, wrapped in a bathrobe, wearing a face mask, her facial outline looking somewhat familiar.
"Is it Auntie Wang? Please come in and sit, come in and sit." Lu Yibei said, imitating her mother's voice and tone.
Hearing the woman speak, Granny Wang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, waving her hand, "Oh, it's Meili who's back? I was wondering who it was! You scared me!"
"I won't come in and sit, I just came to ask, your house..."
"Hey!" Lu Yibei looked back towards the bathroom direction and said coquettishly, "Isn't it all that brat Lu Yibei's doing?"
"When I left, I found that the water heater had a bit of a problem and told him to find someone to fix it when he had time, but all he knows is playing around and doesn't do anything proper!"
"See, I just finished taking a bath and came out of the bathroom, and the water heater exploded. Luckily, I was already out, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"It's just that he's not home now. When he comes back, I'll have to skin him alive!" Lu Yibei said fiercely.
As she spoke, relying on her years of experience being beaten and trained, she imitated Ms. Wang Meili's every word and action to perfection.
"This..." Granny Wang looked into Lu Yibei's house, then a wry smile appeared on her face, "Haha, he's just a young man, he's playful and doesn't remember things, that's how it is, don't blame him."
"Speaking of which, my two boys were like this when they were little, they..."
Hearing that Granny Wang had brought up her two sons, Lu Yibei inwardly cried out that it was bad.
These elderly people in the compound were all good, kind, amiable, and warm-hearted. The only thing that was a headache was that they were particularly talkative.
Based on Lu Yibei's past experience, once Granny Wang started the "family gossip" mode, it would be at least two hours.
Ms. Wang Meili used to be able to handle the elderly people in the compound with ease, but...
I'm not my mom, I can't do it! Lu Yibei thought miserably.
—
An hour later.
Lu Yibei slumped on the sofa in the living room, peeled off the completely dried face mask on her face, and let out a long sigh.
"It was too terrifying..."
Granny Wang was as talkative as ever, talking from her two sons' lives when they were eight years old all the way to when they were eighteen, and she showed no sign of stopping.
Considering that her elderly lady's youngest son is now forty-eight years old, Lu Yibei could only ruthlessly stop ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) Granny Wang from continuing by using the excuse of fixing the water heater.
"Whew—! It's finally over, I can rest a bit." Lu Yibei mumbled, holding her forehead.
However...
Fate always likes to play tricks on people, and good things never come in pairs, while misfortunes never come alone.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, her phone in the bedroom rang.
Hurrying to the bedroom, she picked up her phone and saw the note on the caller ID, and she fell silent.
The call was from Nanling Yaohua, but she didn't dare to answer.
The phone rang for about a minute before falling silent. Lu Yibei held the phone and waited for a moment before sending a message to Nanling Yaohua.
Lu Yibei: "Xiao Hua, is something wrong? I just took a bath and didn't see it."
Nanling Yaohua: "Hehe, it's nothing, I just wanted to ask, we agreed the day before yesterday to book the restaurant for the graduation dinner today, when should we meet? 【Blushing White Rabbit Emoji】"
"..."
The day before yesterday, did we agree? This...
Probably, seems like, should be, right?
What should I do in this state!
Lu Yibei's heart tightened, and she stared at the phone screen, falling silent.
