Free Web NovelAfter settling Fu Xinyi, Lu Yibei and Hua Sang briefly discussed and decided to first ride the Shui Shu Beast through the mountain forests between Zhenwu Mountain Scenic Area and Shizhou City, and then transfer to other transportation after getting closer to the city.
After making the decision, Lu Yibei came to the Shui Shu Beast, whose size had returned to normal, raised his head slightly, and gently stroked the Shui Shu Beast's soft mane with his hand, saying softly, "Elder Sister, you heard the plan we discussed just now. I'll be relying on you later."
"Poof!" The Shui Shu Beast snorted gently and raised its head towards Lu Yibei, its expression as if saying, "Don't worry!"
Lu Yibei nodded, lightly leaped, and mounted the Shui Shu Beast's back.
The moment he stabilized his body and straightened his back, his figure entered a subtle state without warning. His breathing involuntarily quickened, and like an illusion, he heard a muffled cheer.
Immediately after, he was startled to find that, without undergoing urban legend transformation, the core of the Mythical Species urban legend body actually became restless, and the Spiritual Energy within his body was rapidly converging towards the core of the Mythical Species urban legend body.
Lu Yibei, "..."
What the heck? What's going on?
It's not even dark yet, so why are there signs of urban legend transformation?
Damn it, am I going to undergo urban legend transformation in front of Hua Sang?
He thought nervously. Just then, he suddenly realized that the abnormal change in the core of the Mythical Species urban legend body at this moment seemed a little different from when he underwent urban legend transformation.
As the Spiritual Energy within his body gradually converged, the core of the Mythical Species urban legend body trembled lightly, as if cheering, causing a faint golden color to appear in Lu Yibei's eyes as well.
Waves of warmth, like a hot compress, spread from his eyes, gradually extending to his limbs and bones, carrying an indescribable comfort that relaxed and purified the spirit, making one want to let out a long howl.
...
The moment Lu Yibei's body showed abnormalities and weak Spiritual Energy fluctuations surged within him, Hua Sang immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.
She waited for a moment.
Seeing Lu Yibei sitting upright on the Shui Shu Beast's back, not moving for a long time, Hua Sang slightly furrowed her brow, slowly closed her eyes, and with a thought, used the Clairvoyance.
As her eyelids opened and closed, as if triggering some magical switch, a ray of light flashed in her pupils. Looking at Lu Yibei again, she was slightly startled.
This time, in {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} addition to the somewhat abnormal Ifrit Spirit Mark phantom, she also saw a golden phantom floating behind Lu Yibei, like a banner in a strong wind.
That golden phantom exuded a magnificent and powerful aura of majesty that made it difficult to look at directly.
As expected, there was more than just the power of the Ifrit Spirit Mark within his body! Hua Sang thought.
...
The compatibility of the Power of the core of the Mythical Species urban legend body seems to have increased?
The abnormality in his body gradually subsided. Without anyone reminding him, Lu Yibei inexplicably had this thought. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Along with this strange thought, his emotions also became strangely excited.
There was a...
An urge to cause a big sensation!
Although this change didn't significantly improve his Spiritual Energy fluctuation level, he genuinely felt that his control over the Spiritual Energy within his body had greatly strengthened.
The effect was comparable to taking one-tenth, or even more, of the replenishment potion.
Although it was a bit less, this change didn't cost any expensive Alchemy materials; it was completely free!
"..."
How could this be?
Is it just because I rode Elder Sister for a bit?
This is just too... Should I perhaps find more urban legend or Psychic like Little Sister, Second Cousin, and ride them? Lu Yibei thought.
"Roar—!"
While Lu Yibei was thinking, the Shui Shu Beast also let out a joyful low roar.
Hearing the sound, Hua Sang's attention shifted from Lu Yibei to the Shui Shu Beast.
She saw the Shui Shu Beast's large, bell-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, its expression seeming very much to enjoy it. And through the Clairvoyance, she saw that the phantom of water and lightning floating around it had become more condensed and pure, and its physique seemed even more majestic and extraordinary.
Could this be... Power Resonance? Hua Sang thought in surprise.
When she was trying to find a way to treat Spirit Mark loss of control, she had seen related records in an ancient book in Da Chunyang Palace.
That ancient book said that when two completely different Powers, whose corresponding urban legend legends interact, meet and satisfy certain specific conditions, a phenomenon where the Power undergoes subtle changes occurs.
The annotation for this special phenomenon was "Power Resonance."
This phenomenon is similar to, but not exactly the same as, when the Power corresponding to the Spirit Mark has similarities with the Spirit Mark holder's personality, habits, etc., the compatibility will be improved to a certain extent.
After all, high Spirit Mark compatibility will definitely improve strength, but Spirit Mark resonance, in addition to the simultaneous increase in the compatibility of both sides' Powers, may also result in one side being improved and the other side being damaged, or even both sides being injured.
It's like a Psychic with a Nezha Spirit Mark encountering someone with a White Dragon Spirit Mark who is harassing a Little Girl, erupting in righteousness, rushing up and severely injuring the person. This might trigger a Power Resonance phenomenon, causing irreversible effects on the Powers of both.
However...
What exactly is the Power hidden within Lu Yibei?
How could it cause Power Resonance with the Power of the Zhenshan Divine Beast?
Could it be some kind of Heroic Spirit Species Power? The Shui Shu Beast has some Qilin Power, and the Power related to the Qilin in legends is either that of a sage or a monarch...
Hua Sang was thinking when Lu Yibei suddenly called out to her, interrupting her thoughts.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Let's go!"
Hua Sang regained her focus and looked at Lu Yibei, who was waving at her, and nodded.
Immediately after, she bowed slightly to the Shui Shu Beast and climbed onto the Shui Shu Beast's back, then reached out her hands and grabbed Lu Yibei's Coat hem.
"Hold on tight. You saw how your junior sister looked just now. Be careful not to fall off..."
Lu Yibei reminded her. Hua Sang hesitated for a moment, her face slightly red, and timidly wrapped her arms around Lu Yibei's waist.
The next moment, the Shui Shu Beast raised its front hooves and galloped forward.
----
5:05 PM.
Dusk was already appearing on the horizon.
The undulating and majestic mountains between Zhenwu Mountain Scenic Area and Shizhou City were also tinged with a faint rose color.
In the lush and dense mountain forest, faint blue electric light flickered.

Immediately after, accompanied by a low roar like muffled thunder, a vigorous green figure, as agile as a dragon, darted out from the forest, crossed the mountain stream, its figure seemed to pause for a second in the sunset, then descended and landed steadily in the forest on the opposite side, continuing to roar through the mountains.
On the Shui Shu Beast's broad and firm back, Lu Yibei's hands were gripping the light golden fur like reins, his body leaning slightly forward. Behind him, Hua Sang timidly wrapped her arms around his waist, subconsciously maintaining a not-too-far, not-too-close distance from him.
Stealing glances at Lu Yibei's profile, tinged by the sunset, Hua Sang was lost in thought. Just then, she suddenly felt the phone in Lu Yibei's Coat pocket vibrate.
She opened her mouth, about to remind Lu Yibei, but his Coat moved before she could, wriggling.
Seeing this, her heart skipped a beat, and she let go of her hands. If the Shui Shu Beast hadn't stopped at that moment, she might have fallen off from the bumping.
Patting the Shui Shu Beast's neck to signal it to stop, Lu Yibei took out the phone that the Coat had handed him from his sleeve, glanced at it, and his expression immediately darkened.
Two messages were displayed on the phone screen, sent by Lin Nian through the Monster Story Chat Group.
The first message read: 【I have spread the rumors you asked me to spread. Now more than twenty Psychic forces are targeting those two guys.】
The second message read: 【According to reliable sources, there is a Doctor named Yang Yichen at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital who has been selling Ziheche at Moon Smearing, Wind Criticizing for many years. If you can afford the price, he can even get freshly obtained ones. I think the person you are looking for might be him.】
It must be said that Lin Nian lived up to the title of Shizhou City Baixiaosheng. In just over two hours, she had investigated a black merchant who might be selling live placentas to Hu Chuan.
Noticing Lu Yibei's unusual expression, Hua Sang, who had stabilized her body, turned sideways and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Hearing this, Lu Yibei raised his phone and handed it to Hua Sang.
After reading the first message, she slightly furrowed her brow. After reading the second message, she couldn't help but say, "Scum..."
"Should we go to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital now?" Lu Yibei asked.
"Yes." Hua Sang nodded.
----
Shizhou City, Maternal and Child Health Hospital.
In the clean and bright consultation room, there was a faint smell of disinfectant. The hands of the wall clock rotated slowly, making a soft "tick-tock, tick-tock" sound.
Behind the desk, the young Doctor with glasses and a fair face stared at the young woman opposite him, whose abdomen was slightly bulging. After a long silence, he said, "Ms. Wan, have you considered it carefully?"
Hearing this, the woman's body trembled slightly, and her slender fingers gripped her skirt hem, creasing it.
She raised her head, looked at the Doctor, and asked with a slight sob, "Dr. Yang, can these two children really not be saved?"
"This..." The man slightly furrowed his brow and said in a serious tone, "Ms. Wan, I think I've made it very clear to you just now. Given your current physical condition, if you insist on keeping these two children, there may be a risk to your life during childbirth."
"Maybe..." The woman murmured to herself, bit her pearly teeth lightly, looked directly into the man's eyes, and said firmly, "Doctor, I've thought it over!"
A hint of joy, almost imperceptible, flashed in the man's eyes. "Then I will arrange it for you immediately..."
"No, Dr. Yang, I've decided to give birth to these two children! You also said that there might only be a risk to my life, right?" The woman interrupted.
After speaking, she stood up quickly and left the consultation room.
"Click—!"
The moment the consultation room door closed, a crisp sound echoed in the quiet room.
The man, who was called Dr. Yang, looked at the direction of the door with a gloomy expression, holding a broken pen in his hand, and muttered, "Heh, great maternal love? Do you think you can save those two children without having the surgery?"
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, took off his white Coat, and left the consultation room.
----
"Xiao Liu, don't send any patients to my side for now. I'm going to grab something to eat and will be back in half an hour."
"Okay, Yang Ge!"
After greeting the people at the registration desk, Yang Yichen walked out along the corridor.
The dusk outside the window was thick. Footsteps echoed in the corridor. He hadn't walked far before his figure disappeared into the crimson twilight.
----
Near the back door of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, in the small garden hidden by green plants.
A young woman with a slightly bulging abdomen sat on a bench by the flower bed, one hand tightly clutching her medical record, and the other holding her phone, roaring into the phone.
"Work, work, all you know is work all day. Do you know what the Doctor told me during my prenatal check-up today?!"
"If it doesn't work, just don't have them? What kind of tone is that? To you, are these two children not important at all..."
"Okay, I get it! Don't say anything else, you go back to work!"
The woman said, slammed down the phone, put it down, and stared blankly at the small garden with dense green plants, which was gradually being swallowed by the night.
After being in a daze for a moment, she slowly curled up, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the shadows, Hua Sang, who had witnessed the entire process, clenched her pink fists, her eyes complex.
Just then, the sky completely darkened, the darkness swallowed the last trace of light, followed by a rustling sound. A long-haired, pink-and-white girl darted out from the bushes beside Hua Sang, and a small head with horns peeked out from her collar.
"I'm here to take over. How is the situation now?"
"..." Hua Sang glanced out of the corner of her eye at Lu Yibei, who had briefly disappeared and reappeared, and said irritably, "This is the Miss who just came out of Yang Yichen's office. After she left, Yang Yichen also left."
"So, she might be Yang Yichen's target?" Lu Yibei said, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!"
"Go where?" Hua Sang tilted her head.
"Knock her out and take her away!" Lu Yibei said.
"This... won't it alert the enemy?" Hua Sang frowned, "If Yang Yichen senses something is wrong and notifies Elder Wang and Hu Chuan..."
"Then just don't let that guy sense something is wrong, problem solved?" Lu Yibei interrupted.
As she spoke, she transmitted a thought to the Coat through the Servant Mark. The next moment, the red and white contrasting jacket she was wearing, accompanied by a rustling sound, transformed into a white maternity dress and a goose-yellow knitted sweater, just like what the young woman was wearing.
Hua Sang looked at Lu Yibei with a blank expression, her gaze slowly moving down and stopping at her lower abdomen.
"Oh, this is easy!" Noticing Hua Sang's gaze, Lu Yibei said indifferently, then lowered her head to look at the Shui Shu Beast and said, "Elder Sister, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. Give me a hand!"
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for the Shui Shu Beast to respond, she suddenly pressed the Shui Shu Beast's small head towards her collar and stuffed it near her lower abdomen.
"This should work, right? Hurry up and go, knock out that Miss and take her away. I'll handle that Doctor!"
As she spoke, she skillfully took out the Rouge Transformation · Incantation-Stabilized Mask and put it on her face.
Looking at the slightly bulging clothes on Lu Yibei's lower abdomen, propped up by the Shui Shu Beast, a hint of complexity flashed in Hua Sang's eyes.
"..."
You really know how to have fun!
