Ju Meng stared at Lu Yibei with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.
"That's right," Lu Yibei nodded expressionlessly, "It's the Invasion Beast itself that was attached to Xie Yang's remains in Taoyuan and almost created a corrupted deity."
After hearing Lu Yibei's words, Ju Meng's body stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously let go. "Smack!"
Hearing the soft sound, Ju Meng snapped back to reality, looked down at Wang Yingying, who had been flattened into a disc shape on the ground, her willow brows furrowed, her thin lips slightly parted, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Seeing her like that, Lu Yibei couldn't help but tease, "Smelly Girl, you're not scared, are you?"
"H-how could I be?!" Ju Meng glared at Lu Yibei, sticking out her neck, and argued loudly, "I, the dignified Master of the Eight Hundred Li Peach Garden, who commands countless urban legend, would be afraid of this thing? Ridiculous!"
"Oh!" Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, "Then please, pick up Wang Yingying and hand her to me." "Pick her up then!"
Ju Meng rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei, took a step forward, bent down, and stretched out her hands, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, her body stiffened, and her hands hovered in mid-air.
At this moment, she recalled the strange and disgusting feeling when the Invasion Beast's flesh and blood invaded Xie Yang's remains and indirectly affected her Power.
It felt like bugs were growing inside her body, pervasive and suffocating!
Of course, if it were just that, Ju Meng wouldn't find it hard to accept. After all, she had been a tree for thousands of years.
As long as it's a tree, how could it not have bugs?
Not only did she have bugs, but she also witnessed the changes in the insect population in Taoyuan over thousands of years.
However, the invasion of the Invasion Beast's flesh and blood didn't just affect the body; it also acted upon Spiritual Energy and Power, and was fed back through spiritual perception.
As a Calamity level urban legend, her spiritual perception could even sense the impact of a speck of dust falling on her skin; the level of sensitivity was imaginable. Seeing Ju Meng frozen in place, Lu Yibei clicked his tongue and said, "Fine, since you're so scared, I won't tease you anymore." As he spoke, he walked forward, picked up the disc-shaped Wang Yingying from the ground, rubbed her a few times, rolled her back into a ball, took a few steps forward, and placed her steadily on the bedside table.
Seeing this, Ju Meng secretly let out a breath and mumbled softly, "I wasn't scared, just disgusted, you know?" "That feeling, it's like thousands of worms are wriggling and crawling, leaving cold, slimy mucus on your skin, constantly trying to burrow into your body through your eyes, ears, nose, and even every pore."
Lu Yibei listened to Ju Meng's description, looked at the constantly wriggling Wang Yingying, his face turning pale, and interrupted, "Okay, okay, stop talking!"
"I won't talk then!" Ju Meng pouted her little mouth, then changed the subject and asked, "But speaking of which, how is this ghost thing in your house? And why is it emitting your aura?"
"It's a long story," Lu Yibei shrugged, "In short, it is now my subordinate, but for some reason, it has fallen into a deep sleep, and I haven't found a way to wake it up yet."
"Subordinate?" Ju Meng said in surprise, "That doesn't make sense! Its Spiritual Energy fluctuation level is several levels higher than yours, how could you possibly..."
According to common sense, it was simply a fantasy for Lu Yibei to take the Invasion Beast as a subordinate, like a little white rabbit taming a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Just used a little clever trick," Lu Yibei shrugged and explained.
I can't possibly tell Smelly Girl that I modified the contract made by the Night Watch Guardian and became the contract object instead, can I? It's not that I don't trust her, but if she knew about this and didn't report it, she would be an accomplice.
If the matter was exposed one day, it might cause her considerable trouble. Lu Yibei thought.
He paused, looked at Ju Meng, and tilted his head, "Speaking of which, why did you come looking for me?"
"Oh, right!" Ju Meng's eyes lit up, she jogged over to the computer by the desk, operated it intently for a while, and then waved at Lu Yibei, "Come, come, it's this quest, I've been wandering for half an hour and can't find the NPC to turn it in, help me take a look!"
"Okay," Lu Yibei replied and leaned forward. He glanced at the game running on the computer, took the keyboard and mouse from Ju Meng, controlled the game character to wander around the city in the game for a few circles, then turned around and rolled his eyes at Ju Meng.
"You!" "You killed the NPC to turn in the quest, where do you expect me to find them? Did you even read the quest description properly? Hmph, load an old save and start over!"
"Killed? How could I!" Ju Meng walked forward, lowered herself, and directly squeezed into the gap between Lu Yibei's arms, leaning slightly forward, one hand pressing on Lu Yibei's hand holding the mouse, dragging it back and forth, while the other hand pointed at the computer screen.
"Look over here? I accepted the quest over there before, go take a look, right, in that spooky little wooden house, not that one, that one..."
"You're still arguing! I've finished this game three times, how could it be..."
A faint peach blossom scent wafted from Ju Meng's long hair, entering Lu Yibei's nostrils. Only then did he realize something was wrong. He lowered his head and saw Ju Meng, who was almost nestled in his arms. Instantly, it felt like he had swallowed a ping pong ball, stuck in his throat, and his voice abruptly stopped.
"Huh? How is there a hidden cellar here? Why didn't I see it just now? Go in and see if the NPC to turn in the quest is inside?" Ju Meng instructed.
Seeing Lu Yibei
got no response, she clicked her tongue impatiently, "You dog, what are you spacing out for? Go in and look!" As she spoke, she raised her head, and her gaze met Lu Yibei's. Their noses were less than a centimeter apart.
A blush quietly spread across Ju Meng's face. It was only then that she suddenly realized her hand was holding the same mouse as Lu Yibei, their fingers almost intertwined. Her slightly lifted buttocks, which had tilted back, were somehow pressed against Lu Yibei's lower abdomen.
In short, the posture was quite subtle, and the atmosphere was incredibly awkward. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Just then, as if nothing had happened, Lu Yibei took a step back and said expressionlessly, "Oh! How did I get into discussing games with you? You've led me astray!"
"Did I ask you about this? What I asked was, why did you run from Taoyuan to Hua City to find me? You couldn't just be here to play games with me, could you?"
Lu Yibei, "..." (Saying it like this should be enough to muddle through, right?) Ju Meng, "..." (It seems he didn't misunderstand just now, right?)
After a brief silence, Ju Meng came back to her senses and quietly took a few steps aside, putting some distance between herself and Lu Yibei. In her flustered, darting eyes, there was clearly a hint of wistfulness that she was desperately trying to suppress.
"Oh, oh. It's like this..."
So, she spent two or three minutes explaining everything she had noticed about Lu Yibei's red thread of fate being disturbed.
After listening to Ju Meng's account, Lu Yibei propped his chin with one hand, pondered for a few seconds, and nodded, "Got it. You mean someone wants to disrupt my fate?"
Then let them disrupt it. I'm already troubled by this anyway! It's best if they destroy all of them, not leaving a single one.
"It's not necessarily destruction, just disturbance. {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} It's not yet certain whether it's a good or bad influence," Ju Meng waved her hand and explained.
Hearing Ju Meng say this, Lu Yibei raised an eyebrow, "So, you can see my red thread of fate?" "Is that even a question? I'm the only proper God of Marriage within Z Country, okay?!" Ju Meng said proudly.
"Then, God of Marriage Adult..." Lu Yibei looked at Ju Meng thoughtfully, "Why are you always staring at my red thread of fate for no reason?"
For some reason, it felt like someone had peeked at his scandalous love diary?
Although, besides Hua Sang and Gu Qianqian, I don't even know who the other potential partners are 【Lu Yibei thought to himself】.
"I..." Ju Meng opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating. Her heart felt as if it had been squeezed by an invisible large hand, skipping a beat. "Sister, aren't I worried about you? Besides, as a God of Marriage, it's reasonable to occasionally use my Power to help a friend look at their fate, right?"
"What the heck!" Lu Yibei clicked his tongue, "I thought you wanted to flirt with me!"
Hearing this, Ju Meng glared fiercely at Lu Yibei, "You dog, Sister, if I wanted to flirt with you, would I wait until now? I would have already 'patronized' you seventeen or eighteen times half a year ago, okay?"
"It's called 'patronizing' only if you pay," Lu Yibei corrected expressionlessly.
"Then, just sleeping!" Ju Meng said.
After speaking, as if feeling guilty, she secretly glanced at Lu Yibei again.
She was startled to find Lu Yibei frowning, as if seriously thinking about something. She began to panic. Her heart inexplicably sped up a bit.
Doki—doki—!
"What are you thinking about?" Ju Meng probed, "You're not getting the wrong idea, are you? Sister, I..."
"I was just kidding! I just came to tell you about this matter, and now that I'm done, it's time to go."
Soon, as if finally understanding the doubt in his heart, Lu Yibei's brows relaxed. He grabbed Ju Meng's shoulder and looked straight into her eyes.
"You're already here, why leave?!"
You've changed your clothes, you've started a new game save, and you say you want to leave? Since you're here, stay obediently and be my tool for a few days!" "No, no... what do you want to do?" Ju Meng asked.
Lu Yibei raised an eyebrow at Ju Meng, "Let me show you my big baby!" Ju Meng, "???"
Just as she was In a daze, Lu Yibei grabbed her wrist and took a step forward. In an instant, the earth Pulse breath surged.
Then, countless golden threads of earth Pulse breath flew from the void and gathered together. They danced wildly, as if celebrating the return of their king.
Then...
As if something terrifying had suddenly descended, a weak, hidden, but extremely widespread wave of Spiritual Energy spread, covering the entire Hua City.
In their sight, furniture, dust, the remains of collapsed buildings, everything seemed to be weightless, floating towards the sky. The next moment, darkness suddenly descended.
In the darkness, Ju Meng briefly saw a strange scene—stars were at her feet, and the city was in the sky. The scene was fleeting, followed by a dizzying storm of light and shadow intertwined.
When her vision became clear again, Ju Meng was startled to find herself on the rooftop of a tall building, and Lu Yibei's voice sounded in her ears.
"Smelly Girl, welcome to my God Kingdom!"
