Free Web NovelLu Yibei, I like you. If possible, I want to do many things with you.”
Lu Yibei stared blankly at her phone. The screen was dark, and the faint, suppressed voice of the girl came intermittently from the speaker.
Carefully, as if afraid of waking some terrifying beast.
It was also like a girl in unrequited love, muttering to herself in her quilt during a midnight dream, saying words she had always been afraid to say.
“In the spring, I want to wander aimlessly with you in Taoyuan, hand in hand. Do you know? It’s really beautiful when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in Taoyuan.”
“In the summer, I'll snatch your watermelon, cold drinks, and ice cream!”
“In the autumn, we'll snuggle on the sofa, leaning on ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ your shoulder, and binge-watch dramas together. It must be a comedy; I don't like tragedies!” “In the winter, we'll lie in bed playing games and make your quilt smell like me.”
Lu Yibei, ""
In the silence, she shifted her gaze to the black feather in her other hand, then looked back at her phone, opening her lips as if to say something. But when the words reached her mouth, she realized there was no one beside her, and she didn't know who to say them to.
This feather, plus the voice in the video, it's Smelly Girl, no doubt about it.
Is this a confession? Since when did she have such thoughts about me? Why didn't I notice at all? Damn it! I clearly always treated her as...
Lu Yibei was inexplicably stunned for a moment. After staring at her phone in silence for two seconds, her willow-like eyebrows gradually furrowed. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had actually sensed it long ago.
She had subconsciously wanted to define Ju Meng as a friend, but the moment that thought arose, her mind seemed to be interfered with by some indescribable force, stopping halfway.
It was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that in the depths of her subconscious, Ju Meng seemed to be more than just a simple "friend" to her.
But if not a friend, then what? To say there was a special feeling...
It just felt weird, somehow like she was going to screw over her good brother. Lu Yibei thought with a complicated expression. “But...”
Hearing the two words "but," Lu Yibei frowned.
She hated these two words. In most stories, the appearance of these two words basically meant that the plot was about to develop in an unpleasant direction.
“But, you have too many red threads of fate on you, wrapped like a ball of yarn. I don't have a chance at all. As a God of Marriage, how can I mess with your red threads of fate? It's such a pity.”
Hearing this, Lu Yibei stopped and looked back at the apartment building not far behind her.
Just then, the voice from her phone instantly shattered the tangled emotions that had just arisen in her heart.
“Hehe, but it doesn’t matter. They definitely won’t live as long as Sister I do. Like that Yu Jianqiu, I think she’s quite short-lived, maybe only another forty or fifty years. But Sister I can at least hang on for another thousand or eight hundred years!”
Lu Yibei, ""
Although, is it a bit too much to wish for others to die sooner?
“So, you dog thing, you absolutely must not die before me! Even if you have to die, you have to leave Sister I three or five years, right? It's not for nothing that I've been waiting.”
“Before that, you have to take good care of yourself, and take good care of that limping girl. You don't have to worry about me too much, just be like before.”
Tsk! This dog thing said so much and didn't react at all, like a dead pig. Speaking of which, how did Lord Lei's special hangover soup taste?”
The voice in the video stopped abruptly here. Lu Yibei held her phone, looking at the replay icon on the screen, and suddenly felt a heavy feeling in her heart.
Although she knew very well that she hadn't done anything wrong, she somehow felt like she had let Ju Meng down. She really wanted to talk to someone, but she didn't know who to talk to.
Talk to Smelly Girl face to face? Definitely not now.
Tell Bai Kai? That wouldn't work either; that would be too scummy.
Wait! Speaking of being scummy, it seems there's a master of it? Maybe he knows how to handle this situation?
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei narrowed her eyes slightly, looked down at her phone, opened the dialer, skillfully entered a string of phone numbers, and lightly touched the dial button.
That was Bai Kai's phone number.
In the past, Bai Kai had even thrown a tantrum because Lu Yibei hadn't saved his number, but he didn't know that although Lu Yibei hadn't saved his number, she had already memorized it by heart.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is out of the service area. Please try again later. sorry, thenumberyoudiale" Hearing the prompt from her phone, Lu Yibei put down her phone expressionlessly and rolled her eyes.
Tsk! And he said I could find him anytime if I had something on my mind. In the end, he pulls this kind of stunt at a crucial moment. He's totally unreliable!” After complaining about Shui Ge, Lu Yibei put away her phone and looked back at the direction of her home again, a determined look flashing in her eyes.
Smelly Girl, don't worry, I will definitely live well, definitely longer than you!
After you die, I'll even go to your grave and steal your offerings! Lu Yibei thought, slightly clenching her pink fists—
Night deepened, Huacheng Institute of Technology.
The lights in the dormitory were off. The computer screen was the only light source in the entire room, illuminating Hua Xieyu's slightly pale, confused face.
She hadn't left the dormitory all day. During this entire day, she had been sitting blankly at her desk, watching the videos the children had recorded for her, playing over and over again on the computer screen.
Looking at those young smiling faces, although she still recognized every child in the video, remembered their different little quirks, and remembered every bit of time spent with them.
But she no longer felt the genuine joy she used to.
It was as if those past events were just a soap opera she had watched countless times. She remembered the joys and sorrows of everyone in the show, but she was always just an observer, without the experience of sharing hardships and joys.
And this change started from the strange dream she had last night.
She didn't even dare to lie down and rest, afraid that as soon as she closed her eyes, she would fall into that dream again, and then when she woke up, she would have completely become Yu Jianqiu.
Upon realizing this, Hua Xieyu felt a creepy sensation. ""
What should I do? What should I do?
Perhaps I can ask Lu Yibei for help? He is a member of the Night Watch; he should have a way to solve this kind of thing, right?
But the children are in that man's hands. If I reveal this, and the mission fails, will he tear up the ticket? Thoughts like these, like persistent nightmares, kept echoing in Hua Xieyu's mind.
She had always thought that the years she had spent struggling alone in Liming City, in Xiang Niangzi Cave, had made her strong enough; but now she realized how vulnerable she was at this moment.

Thus, feelings of self-blame and fear brewed in her heart, constantly tormenting her nerves, in this gradually deepening night—
On the outskirts of Lingcheng, in a sulfur plant built by the river.
Perhaps because of the severe pollution, this sulfur plant has been abandoned for a long time, even longer than the years the night has become long.
The already old buildings were even more dilapidated under the erosion of wind and rain. The concrete on the outer walls peeled off, and the steel frames were exposed to the air, covered with dark red rust, giving off a strange feeling of blood and flesh.
At this moment, a tall, thin man with a pale face was running wildly through the empty factory area, occasionally looking back, as if an evil spirit was chasing him, so much so that he didn't even care about the hideous scar on his back that was gushing blood.
Behind him, chilling laughter of women echoed.
"Hahaha, run! Be afraid! Only such prey can make me a little interested.”
Following closely, the heart-pounding laughter suddenly disappeared for a few seconds, and the huge factory building instantly fell into dead silence.
Silence is often more tormenting than noise. The fleeing man, facing the sudden quietness, showed even more panic in his eyebrows.
The next moment, just as he was panicking and looking left and right, a sound of breaking air exploded from the darkness, and a huge axe flew in a spiral, briefly crossing his body, and then hitting the ground with a "clang!" sound.
A few seconds later, the man's head slowly slid down from his shoulder, and hot blood spurted out with a "poof!" sound from his neatly severed neck.
Da da da—!”
Footsteps sounded, and a figure with a graceful body and rabbit ears on her head walked out of the shadows. She picked up the huge axe, which was half-buried in the ground, with one hand, shook it lightly, and flicked off the blood drops on it.
After putting away the huge axe, she turned her head to look at the pale-faced man who was walking towards her from behind, and complained, "So, what is it again?"
“I finally got out once, and I haven’t enjoyed the thrill of hunting enough! You’re rushing me to finish the target. If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I’m going to get angry.”
While speaking, Miss Rabbit walked towards the man who had lost his head but hadn't completely died yet, raised the huge axe with both hands, aimed it at the man's chest, and chopped down dozens of times until the man's body was completely turned into a pile of flesh before stopping.
After killing the enemy, always remember to finish them off. This was a principle Disaster taught her.
Suo E watched Miss Rabbit handle the corpse quietly, explaining expressionlessly, "The Elder Council has sent news."
Elder Council?" Miss Rabbit frowned. Didn't they say that those old guys were dealing with that Chairman and couldn't spare any time? How did the message get out?”
“Although it took a lot of effort, the Elders have their own methods.” Suo E said. “Alright!” Miss Rabbit pouted and said, “What do we need to do this time?”
“The Elders want us to go to Hua City.”
Hearing the two words "Hua City," Miss Rabbit's expression changed, and she blurted out, "No! If you want to go, go yourself!” Although Hua City was her hometown, it was also Disaster's hometown.
“Let me make it clear! I’m not afraid of Disaster, but before I gain enough power to kill Disaster with my own hands, I don’t want to wander around in Disaster’s territory and give her a chance to torment me.”
"" Suo E was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly, "It seems your fear of Disaster isn't easy to dispel. I didn't even mention her just now."
Miss Rabbit, ""
“Don’t worry, this mission is a low-level Psychic from the Chairman’s side. You don’t need to contact Disaster.” Suo E said. Hearing this, Miss Rabbit breathed a sigh of relief, swung the huge axe in her hand, and raised her chin slightly, saying, “Even if I have to fight Disaster, I’m not afraid at all, okay? I’m much stronger than last time. If I meet her again, I’ll definitely chop off her dog head!”
""
Suo E looked at Miss Rabbit, held it in for a long time, and finally uttered four words, "Well, good luck!"
“What do you mean!” Miss Rabbit puffed out her extraordinarily magnificent chest, “This isn’t a matter of whether I try hard or not. You saw with your own eyes that my Power has been optimized. Don’t you believe me?”
Say it! Say you believe me!
Miss Rabbit thought, stealing a glance at Suo E's expression from the corner of her eye.
“Honestly, you can’t beat her.” Suo E said earnestly, “You might die.” Is he worried about my safety? Miss Rabbit’s eyes lit up slightly.
“It might even implicate me.” Suo E said.
Miss Rabbit, """
I shouldn't have... Forget it, I've said this too many times, I'm tired, let's just destroy it quickly! ———
Holding the invitation from Ju Meng, Lu Yibei smoothly "accidentally" encountered the Liao Zhai Tavern at the end of that secluded alley last night. freewёbnoνel.com
From a distance, she watched the swaying lanterns in front of the tavern, calculating how she would talk to Boss Hu about wanting to be an apprentice when she went in later. The tavern door opened, and a familiar person walked out from inside.
“Shui Ge? Why are you here? No wonder I couldn’t get through to you!” Lu Yibei said in surprise, her eyes widening slightly. Bai Kai was still Bai Kai, but for some reason, she felt that the usual frivolousness was missing from him.
Perhaps it was because he was wearing a simple gray tracksuit today, looked tired, had stubble on his chin, and appeared messy.
Even stranger, he was holding a long sword in a deerskin scabbard. That long sword was not the one Bai Kai usually carried during his night duty.
Lu Yibei recognized that long sword. She had seen it in the corner of Bai Kai's storage room more than ten years ago. When she secretly took out that long sword to play with, she was beaten up by her Old Dad.
“Little Disaster?” Seeing Lu Yibei, Bai Kai was also quite surprised. Then he thought that his Xiao Bei was now a King of Weird Tales and had grasped the God Kingdom Prototype, so she was qualified to receive an invitation to the Liao Zhai Tavern. Only then did he say, “A friend invited me here for a small talk.”
Friend? Is it that Guardian whose code name starts with the word 'Bing'?” Before Bai Kai finished speaking, Lu Yibei interrupted.
That guy is not only interested in underage urban legend girls, but he also targets middle-aged Psychic gigolos. He's really playing hard! Lu Yibei thought, looking at the slightly drunk Bai Kai.
“You know him?” Bai Kai was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said frankly, “That’s right, he’s the one who invited me here.”
“Holy crap!” Lu Yibei exclaimed softly, craning her neck to look in the direction of the Liao Zhai Tavern, then looked at Bai Kai and asked in a low voice, “Is that person still inside now?”
If Lord Bing was always hanging out at the Liao Zhai Tavern, waiting to get underage urban legend girls drunk, then her cooking skills would probably not be learned. “He left early.” Bai Kai shook his head, “I stayed for a while longer myself and had a few drinks.”
As if sensing something from Bai Kai's expression, Lu Yibei tilted her head and asked, “Something on your mind?”
Bai Kai opened his mouth, repeatedly wanting to speak but hesitating. Then a familiar and annoying, roguish smile appeared on his face, “Even if I do, I won’t tell you! Children shouldn’t meddle in adults’ affairs.”
Seeing this, Lu Yibei's eyebrows relaxed. She walked up and patted Bai Kai on the shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry about it then. Since you have something on your mind that you don’t want to tell me, I have something on my mind that I want to talk to you about. Are you free?”
Bai Kai, """
This was the first time Lu Yibei had taken the initiative to want to talk to him about her troubles. He was very happy and also wanted to talk to Lu Yibei, but he didn't have that much time left, so...
“Adults are too lazy to care about children’s matters.” Lu Yibei, “
