Free Web NovelAlthough Lu Yibei's stir-fried galangal fish was full of negative energy, it wasn't enough to cause harm to a tianzai level strange story. Ju Meng only lay paralyzed on the bed for about ten minutes before recovering.
"Good thing Sister I have high poison resistance, otherwise I might have been poisoned here today."
As she spoke, she glanced at the stir-fried galangal fish beside her, pushing it away with her toe with a look of disgust, as if it were some kind of filth.
"So, this is the dish you learned at the Liao Zhai Tavern last night?" "That's right!" Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, "Was it awful?"
Ju Meng looked at Lu Yibei, her eyes wide, "You dog! You know that? You knew and still gave it to me?" Knowing it was bad and still doing it changed the nature of the act entirely.
"Nonsense!" Lu Yibei rolled her eyes, "I ask you, if you had a dish comparable to Alchemy poison in your hand, what would you do?"
Hearing this, Ju Meng's eyes, which had been dull and lifeless a second ago because of the nightmarish taste, instantly lit ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) up, and she answered without hesitation, "Do you even need to ask? Of course I'd give it to you!"
"Then that settles it?" Lu Yibei spread her hands.
After a pause, she changed the subject and continued, "Smelly Girl, my cooking is like this, yet Boss Hu actually said I'm very talented, and whatever I say, he agrees to it, besides asking him to make me a dish of Human Fireworks..."
Do you think this is reasonable? I even feel like if he had a daughter, he might even offer a dowry to marry her to me."
Ju Meng was stunned for a moment, then replied seriously, "Of course it's not reasonable! He doesn't owe you anything, so why would he be so good to you?" "Mm." Lu Yibei nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Ju Meng's words.
It seems that when I go to the Liao Zhai Tavern tonight, besides getting the tools and methods for collecting the raw materials for Human Fireworks, I also need to find a way to test Boss Hu's true intentions!
Sometimes, kindness with unclear motives is more terrifying than malice with clear goals!
At times like this, if you're not careful, you might be sold out and even help count the money!
However, for someone like Lu Yibei, being sold out is possible, but asking her to "count the money"... she would most likely take the "money" when the person isn't paying attention and run!
After thinking for a moment, she asked Ju Meng, "Smelly Girl, do you think that Boss Hu could be my destined partner? Or perhaps he's taken a liking to me?"
"Heh!" Ju Meng sneered, glancing sideways at Lu Yibei, "You dog, you've gone crazy, haven't you? You think everyone is your wife, right?"
Lu Yibei didn't answer, just stared intently at Ju Meng, her gaze burning, as if trying to see every pore on her face clearly.
After being stared at like this for a long time, Ju Meng felt a strange shyness, turned her face away, and mumbled impatiently, "You dog! Just say what you want to say, why keep staring at me?"
"I'm seeing if you look alike." Lu Yibei said expressionlessly.
"Look alike what?" Ju Meng asked subconsciously, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushed, and she picked up Wang Yinglou with both hands, throwing her forcefully at Lu Yibei.
"Go away! You dog, you're getting bolder now, you even dare to tease your Sister, is that right?!"
"Wait, wait! Don't be impulsive, the child is innocent!" Lu Yibei said, fumbling to catch Wang Yingying flying towards her.
After catching the trembling Wang Yingying, she glanced out the window, then shifted her gaze to Ju Meng, raising an eyebrow at her, "Time is about right, shall we go?"
"Go where?" Ju Meng said with a gloomy face.
"Let's go to the school and see if Yu Jianqiu is true love!" Lu Yibei carefully placed Wang Yingying on the desk and spread her hands, "Didn't we agree on that before?"
Ju Meng rolled her eyes, spat softly, and said, "Tsk, let's go!" ---
It's unclear when staying up late began to be jokingly called 'cultivating immortality' by netizens.
The reason for this is probably that after staying up late to a certain extent, you no longer feel sleepy. Instead, due to the normal compensatory mechanism of the nervous system, you become as energetic as if you've had a shot of adrenaline.
Hua Xieyu was in such a state now.
Holding the mysterious flyer, she stared intently at the computer screen. After a night of hard work, she didn't feel tired; instead, she felt inexplicably excited.
The moment the morning sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto her cheek, she finally made up her mind and tightly clenched the oddly textured flyer.
It was as if she was grasping a final straw, until the entire flyer was crumpled into a ball.
Hua Xieyu originally thought that someone like her was already alone and had nothing worth caring about.
However, when she noticed that those children were disappearing from her life, she ultimately couldn't let go, even though in her eyes, they had almost become the most familiar strangers.
Although this flyer appeared strangely, this might be her last hope to resist that even stranger man. So, she planned to explore the address indicated on the flyer beforehand to prepare for the evening meeting.
And in her understanding, urban legend incidents wouldn't happen during the day.
Just like the perception of urban legend by most ordinary people ---
Exactly ten o'clock in the morning.
Huacheng Institute of Technology, Sakura Avenue, on a bench near the pedestrian street, two beautiful girls with completely different styles sat side by side, attracting frequent glances from passersby.
It was unclear whether it was because the two girls were exceptionally beautiful, complementing the scenery of Sakura Avenue and stunning everyone, or because their sitting posture was too lazy and somewhat odd.
"Ju! This lemon chicken feet tastes good!"
"Mm-hmm, I think so too. I'll buy some later when I go back, I can eat it when I play games tonight."
"And this milk tea, it's from the same place Paper Cicada Immortal spilled on Yu Jianqiu last time, it tastes pretty good too. It's such a waste that that beast just poured it away."
"Exactly!"
"Wait!" Lu Yibei suddenly frowned, turning her head to look at Ju Meng beside her, "Something's not right?"
Ju Meng sized up Lu Yibei, her gaze falling on the spicy stick she was chewing on, "What's not right? Did your unlimited spicy stick go bad?"
"No!" Lu Yibei sat up straight, saying seriously, "Didn't we come to find Yu Jianqiu to see if she's true love? Why are we sitting here slacking off?"
"Didn't we walk around for over an hour and not find anyone?" Ju Meng shrugged, "She's not in the school, we can't find her, what else can we do besides slack off?"
"..." Lu Yibei thought for a moment, her brows relaxed, and she nodded, "That seems to make some sense!"
This is probably what good 'Ji You' (close female friends) are like; they can stand up for you when you need them, and at other times, they can pull you down to be lazy and slack off together.
"So how long are we going to sit here?"

Forever Ju Meng had such a thought, but what she said was, "As long as possible, I don't want to leave."
"I mean, why don't we go home?" Lu Yibei said, "On such a hot day, wouldn't it be better to stay at home with the air conditioning on, drinking happy water, and playing games together?"
"Yes!" Ju Meng's eyes lit up, "Approved!"
"Limited to console games." Lu Yibei added, "I really can't carry you when we play other games together."
"Bullshit!" Ju Meng cursed, "Although I used to get yelled at by my teammates whenever I played those games, it's different now, okay?" "Is that so?"
"Of course!" Ju Meng tilted her chin up slightly, "Now my teammates can't out-curse me!" Lu Yibei, ""
In the silence, she was about to say something to Ju Meng when her phone suddenly vibrated. She took out her phone and glanced at it; it was a message from Du Sixian.
Du Sixian: "Expert, that batch of goods has been successfully trial-produced. You can come over to inspect it anytime." Lu Yibei: "Okay, I understand. I'll go take a look later."
Seeing Lu Yibei looking at her phone for a long time without speaking, Ju Meng craned her neck, peering and muttering, "Let Sister I see, which Miss sent you a message this time?"
"Then look!" Lu Yibei handed her phone to Ju Meng.
However, to her surprise, Ju Meng's expression suddenly became serious at this moment. "You dog, you've changed!"
"Huh?"
"You never used to show me your phone. What caused such a change in you? You're scaring me, you know?" Ju Meng said earnestly.
Lu Yibei, ""
Isn't it because of that video?
If you keep being sarcastic like this, I'll show you the video! At worst, we all die together ---

Hua City, Old Stadium, Swimming Pool.
This swimming pool was abandoned over three years ago because the water purification equipment was aging and the water quality test results repeatedly showed severe exceedances of harmful substances.
In fact, the swimming pool staff also felt very wronged. They had just spent a lot of money updating the water purification equipment, trying to extend the life of this swimming pool that had existed for many years and carried the summer memories of a generation in Hua City.
However, before last winter, the remains of the Twilight Woman were still suppressed beneath the pool. No matter how they treated the water in the pool, they couldn't remove the harmful substances.
A pool of water that had been treated the day before, clear enough to see the bottom, would turn into a dark reddish-brown like rust the next day, emitting a nauseating stench.
Shortly after this situation occurred, the relevant authorities ordered the closure of the swimming pool, until now.
With the closure of the swimming pool, the changing rooms quickly accumulated a thick layer of dust, and the already old blinds also seemed to be corroded by some force, experiencing large-scale damage in a short period.
The sunlight filtering through the damaged windows was scattered on the ground like limbs, twisted into eerie shapes.
Fallen leaves and moisture-loving insects also crawled into the changing rooms through the damaged windows, dying and decaying there, eventually leaving streaks of dried blood-like stains on the off-white tiles.
At this moment, in the dimly lit corner of the changing room, a series of soft "squeak, creak" sounds echoed.
The sound seemed as if someone was sitting on a broken chair in this deserted changing room, rocking back and forth.
Following that, in the empty changing room, a woman's voice was heard.
"You say, your Elder Council and the Chairman, clearly pursuing the same thing, why do they have to fight to the death?" "Even if they don't get along, they shouldn't always trip each other up, right?"
The pale-faced man, who had been looking down at the dark golden polyhedron in his hand, raised his head and looked at the woman lying on the old bench opposite him, saying expressionlessly, "I don't know, the Elder Council didn't tell me."
"Ha!" Miss Mian rolled her eyes, "Even if you don't say it, I know! I've been observing for so long, I can tell."
"If you ask me, their goals are fundamentally different. The Elder Council is just using the name of that deity to do whatever they want. How does that saying go? Oh, right, a god without self-awareness, who won't truly descend into the world, is a good god!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Those guys from the Chairman's faction probably really want that deity to descend, right?"
In a sense, it's the difference between evil disguised as madness and pure madness, Miss Rabbit added in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Suo E's expression became somewhat unpleasant, and he said in a deep voice, "How can the actions of the Elder Council be criticized arbitrarily? Do not be disrespectful to the Elders!"
"Okay, okay!" Miss Rabbit pouted, "If you don't want me to talk, I won't. You always get worked up when this is mentioned, so petty."
After a pause, she looked at the exquisite little object in Suo E's hand, raised an eyebrow, and inquired, "By the way, what exactly is that thing? I've seen you studying it for a long time along the way."
Suo E's fingers tightened slightly around the polyhedron. After hesitating for a few seconds, as if having made a great decision, he looked at Miss Mian and said, "This is the key object to disrupt the Chairman's plan. It needs to be delivered to the Miss he chose."
After a pause, he added, "I wasn't supposed to tell you."
You weren't supposed to tell me, but you violated the order and secretly told me, is that right? Miss Mian was secretly delighted, "Disrupt the key object... what the hell?"
"If you ask me, wouldn't it be easier to just kill that woman? Why go through so much trouble? Isn't that just being bored?" Miss Rabbit said, swinging her giant axe fiercely in the air.
"She can't be killed."
"Huh?" Miss Mian looked confused, "She's just a nobody among nobodies, how can she not be killed?"
Suo E looked at Miss Rabbit and said seriously, "Do you know? The Chairman hasn't stayed at any of the Eclipse Society's strongholds for years. In the past, the Elder Council organized over a hundred assassination attempts."
"They all failed?" Miss Rabbit said, "Do you mean someone from the Chairman's faction is secretly protecting that woman?" "No, they all succeeded." Suo E shook his head, "Every time the Chairman died, but he didn't completely die."
"Now that Miss has been influenced by the Chairman's power, the Elder Council suspects that she won't be easy to kill. If she's not killed in one go, the Chairman will find out, and all previous efforts will be wasted."
"What the heck?" Miss Rabbit was bewildered, "Dead, but not dead? What are you talking about?"
"How should I put it?" Suo E scratched the back of his head, "Anyway, as long as the 【majority】 in this world are not completely wiped out, the Chairman won't die. That's the Elder Council's original words."
Miss Rabbit, "" To hell with the original words! Elder Council? They're old riddle-makers.
"However, recently the Elder Council has also found a way to deal with it, which is this thing." Hearing this, Miss Rabbit looked at the polyhedron in Suo E's hand and frowned.
It was a palm-sized dark golden sixteen-sided object, with a metallic luster, covered in dense, strange fine lines, emitting weak Spiritual Energy fluctuations, looking like the core of a low-level elemental urban legend entity.
Could the core of a urban legend entity of this level really affect that Chairman?
It inexplicably felt like trying to shoot an elephant with a toy water gun, didn't it? Miss Rabbit thought.
