Free Web NovelThe wind howled, and birds swept across the sky.
When she was about twenty meters from the ground, Ju Meng released Lu Yibei's small claws, like an air drop of supplies, and threw her down.
This height was completely bearable for an A-Level urban legend, and it was premeditated.
During the process of Lu Yibei repeatedly hurting her ancient heart with words, she had more than once had the urge to throw Lu Yibei out like trash. Today, she finally had the opportunity to do it legitimately.
Her movements were as graceful and unrestrained as a rhythmic gymnast throwing a gymnastics ball into the sky.
Watching Lu Yibei's figure arc through the air and land steadily on the road about one meter from Dorees, Ju Meng let out a joyful sound.
"Mission accomplished! Woohoo!" freewebnoveℓ.com
Hearing the infuriating sound from behind her, Lu Yibei, still flying in mid-air, suddenly twisted her waist, using her torso strength to rotate her body 180 degrees. She looked up at Ju Meng, and just as she opened her lips to say something, the bizarre scene that appeared before her eyes blocked the words in her throat.
The haze silently spread, like a yellowish-brown gauze curtain being pulled by an invisible giant hand, falling layer by layer, obscuring the view.
In her line of sight, the birds circling in mid-air dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, like paint dissolving in water.
A few breaths later, a muffled thud, similar to an umbrella suddenly opening, sounded.
"Bang—!"
When the Coat writhed and transformed into an inflatable suit, allowing Lu Yibei to land steadily, Ju Meng's figure had already completely disappeared from her sight.
A breeze blew, carrying a pungent odor and damp moisture.
After a long moment of stunned silence, Lu Yibei, who was lying on the ground, finally sat up from the wet asphalt road.
Looking around, all she could see was the yellowish-brown haze, exuding a vast, desolate, and filthy aura.
Her eyes felt dry, hot, and faintly painful, as if irritated by the toxic haze.
Concentrating her mind and spreading her Spiritual Energy, all she could detect was layers of haze filled with a large amount of toxic substances, and surging Spiritual Energy hidden within the haze.
Ju Meng and Dorees had both disappeared.
Just a few seconds ago, Ju Meng was still circling above her head, and she was very sure that her landing spot was less than two meters from Dorees.
"Dorees? Where are you? Teacher is here."
"Smelly Girl, Ju Meng, good Sister?!"
Lu Yibei tried calling out a few times but received no response.
The impenetrable haze was like an acoustic wall close at hand, devouring all sounds, leaving only dead silence.
Aside from the solid touch of the asphalt road beneath her feet, the real world seemed to be beyond her perception.
A trace of unease, like grass seeds watered by a night of spring rain, quietly sprouted.
After briefly scouting her surroundings, Lu Yibei suddenly understood why Dorees was wandering aimlessly on the road like a headless fly.
Clearly, Dorees wasn't hallucinating from inhaling toxic haze, as she initially thought. Instead, like her, her vision was obscured by the high-density haze.
She thought it was a simple "magic" caused by inhaling haze and hallucinating, but it turned out to be "physical and magical."
Damn it! She came to save someone, but she accidentally got herself involved. This is awkward.
Not only could she not save anyone, but she was also trapped. What if she couldn't stop the ritual in time? Wouldn't that be the end? Lu Yibei thought worriedly.
In this environment, if X Heavenly God suddenly attacked her from behind, she would have no way to defend herself.
She just didn't know if X Heavenly God would be a lunatic riding an eight-legged steed, wearing dark golden armor, and randomly stabbing people with a long spear.
Lu Yibei thought secretly, then looked around. A PLAN B that had already been discarded resurfaced in her mind.
X Heavenly God descended upon Mountain City to deal with its unfilial son, and my purpose is also to stop that unfilial son from performing some unspeakable ritual.
Since the goals are the same, why can't we cooperate?
The current situation has clearly reached the point of "need to talk."
The only question is how to talk to X Heavenly God while ensuring her own safety. Lu Yibei thought.
Without Ju Meng by her side, she wisely changed the address for Maitian God.
Circumstances are stronger than people, so being careful is not wrong!
As she was pondering, a familiar sigh suddenly sounded in her ear.
"Alas, it's been so long, why are you still so worrying?"
Chatterbox Girl? Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and immediately called out softly, "Chatterbox Girl, is that you? Where are you?
Since you're here, don't just stand there foolishly, hurry up and get to work!"
"Sorry, I've been quite busy lately, no time to help..."
"Busy? Busy with what?" Lu Yibei pressed. "Hmm," Chatterbox Girl replied, "barely counting as taking care of a child!"
Lu Yibei, "???"
What the hell? We've been "online dating" for so long, and you went and had a child with someone else? Did you consider my feelings?
As Lu Yibei was muttering to herself, Chatterbox Girl's voice sounded again, "Besides, isn't it just about ensuring your own safety when talking to Maitian God? Do you still need my help?"
After a pause, Chatterbox Girl suddenly changed the subject and said something nonsensical.
"Speaking of which, do you like hot pot?"
Don't you know if I like it or not? Lu [N O V E L I G H T] Yibei rolled her eyes and said expressionlessly, "I like it, but I don't want to eat it. Eating too much of that stuff is bad for my stomach..."
As if she suddenly thought of something, her voice stopped abruptly, and she frowned.
"I understand! Speaking of which, an occasional hot pot meal is actually quite good."
"Exactly, exactly!" Chatterbox Girl chuckled softly.
"Then do you want to eat together?" Lu Yibei asked.
Although Chatterbox Girl's reminder had given her a rough idea of how to protect herself, it would still be more secure if she could summon Chatterbox Girl to accompany her.
However...
"No, it's bad for the stomach," Chatterbox Girl replied without thinking.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Some say that every Calamity is supreme in a specific domain, a totem, a solidified symbol. It is difficult to imitate, let alone surpass, their application of abilities related to that domain.
It's as if in the Eastern Hemisphere, no one or urban legend can surpass Zhang Huainan in the domain of controlling lightning, and no one or urban legend can forcibly destroy a beautiful marriage in front of Ju Meng.
If one underestimates a certain Calamity in their Power-related domain, they will definitely pay a heavy price.
Watching Lu Yibei fall into the thick fog and quickly disappear, Ju Meng suddenly realized that she seemed to have underestimated Maitian God.

Although she had vaguely heard Turtle Elder mention a few times that Maitian God had an ability called "Visibility 0."
But what she didn't expect was that the so-called "Visibility 0" didn't just mean that visual "visibility" would drop to 0, but that "visibility" of all senses, including Spiritual Energy, would drop to 0.
It could even block the special sensing of those who call out their true names, which is unique to Calamity.
"It should be able to block it, right?" Ju Meng muttered with a solemn expression.
In her opinion, Lu Yibei, suddenly enveloped in thick fog and losing her senses, would definitely call out her name, and then chant her Power description, and might even be so scared that she would cry while... speaking of which, she hadn't seen that guy crying bitterly yet!
Thinking of this, Ju Meng gently shook her head, shaking off the messy thoughts, and then looked down again, her eyes deepening.
Although she couldn't compare to Maitian God in terms of affecting the senses, she could still manage to break through a dense fog in an area and bring someone out with a little effort.
After all, she was once the deity who controlled the spring breeze.
Thus, her glossy black feathers suddenly scattered, stirring up a black storm.
The next moment, the storm abruptly stopped, and the feathers drifted down like withered leaves, gradually turning into dust and dissipating. Immediately after, a maiden in a skirt appeared in mid-air.
The festive crimson silk robe was adorned with intricate metallic patterns that converged at the back, outlining a twin-rooted Fuso Divine Tree. The magnificent skirt, shaped like a magpie's tail feathers, cascaded down like a waterfall.
Her delicate pink hand rose, pointing to the haze gathering in the sky, and the golden bird-feather ornaments on her cuffs swayed with the gentle breeze.
The small and exquisite magpie-shaped black crown, used to bind her dark green long hair, had golden tassels hanging from it. As her fair chin lifted, they gently collided, producing a melodious sound like wind chimes.
The Fusang Divine Tree had fallen, but the faith of the Taoyuan people in Ju Meng had never extinguished. What she was displaying at this moment was the appearance of the new idol shaped by the Taoyuan people.
In many legends, deities have various forms of manifestation. From a certain perspective, this is one of Ju Meng's manifestations.
"Listen to me, no matter what grievances you have with that guy, I'm taking her now. Try to stop me!"
As she said this, Ju Meng was already prepared to fight Maitian God.
However...
After her words fell, the shadows gathered in the sky did not respond, as if ignoring her threat, or tacitly agreeing to what she was about to do.
Ju Meng, "..."
Good heavens! Ignoring me?
Do you really think that just because I've only just changed my Power and haven't returned to my peak state, I can't lift a knife anymore?
Ju Meng thought, withdrew her gaze, clenched her pink fists, and plunged downwards towards the ground.
When Lu Yibei inherited the God Kingdom Prototype from Ms. Wang Meili, she also acquired a large number of Spiritual Energy items of unclear significance.
Before today, she had thought that she would never use the "useless" Spiritual Energy items left by her mother in her entire life.
But after Chatterbox Girl's reminder, she suddenly realized that those seemingly absurd, yet somewhat "causality weapon"-like Spiritual Energy items, might be incredibly powerful in specific situations!
"I hope it works?"
Lu Yibei looked at the simple copper bracelet in her hand and muttered to herself. Then she took out the essential ingredients for hot pot from the God Kingdom Prototype—a charcoal-burning copper hot pot, a few pieces of smokeless hollow charcoal, hot pot base and dipping sauce, sliced fatty beef, fresh duck intestines, and large slices of tripe.
She put on the bracelet, set up the copper hot pot, rubbed a Red Flame Flash to light the charcoal. Once the water in the pot boiled, she added the hot pot base, and soon a rich aroma wafted out.
Picking up the chopsticks she had already prepared, she picked up a slice of tripe, swished it "seven up, eight down" in the crimson broth, dipped it in a little sauce, and put the whole thing into her mouth. As she chewed, the rich aroma of the hot pot broth and the perfectly blanched, crisp texture of the tripe instantly burst forth between her lips.
"Mmm~!"
Lu Yibei couldn't help but let out a satisfied hum.
The next second, a strong light burst from her wrist, and the surrounding winds surged.
Gale winds howled, weaving an invisible barrier that spread in all directions.
As if a powerful explosive had suddenly detonated, shattering the haze, in the blink of an eye, a circle with a radius of about two meters around Lu Yibei was cleared, and the thick haze was completely isolated outside.
Just as she had seen when falling from high altitude, Dorees was two meters away from her, lying on the ground, unconscious.
What surprised Lu Yibei even more was that the moment the bracelet took effect, she vaguely saw wisps of yellowish-brown smoke quietly drifting out of her nose and mouth from the corner of her eye.
Immediately after, she felt an unprecedented sense of comfort in her lungs, as if every alveolus was cheering, as if reborn. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Shocked! It could even force out the "smoke" that had already been inhaled into the body?
Lu Yibei's eyes widened slightly, and her hands, holding the chopsticks, stiffened in mid-air.
A moment later, she collected her thoughts, looked up at the sky, and muttered to herself, "As long as it works. Now, I just need to find Xiao Mai and talk to it. As for how to make it come out..."
"Hey, Xiao Mai, come out and talk? Although your beating your son is a family matter, and it's inconvenient for an outsider like me to interfere, it's affecting others now, which is a bit bad, isn't it?"
After speaking, Lu Yibei waited a few seconds. Seeing no response, she pondered for two seconds, her eyes darting around, and then she spoke again.
"Tsk tsk, I never thought, I never thought that in this world, there would be a Calamity urban legend who couldn't control its own offspring. Isn't that too funny? Oh, right, it might even be violently beaten by its own offspring, and after being violently beaten, it might even be devoured. It's simply the funniest joke I've heard this year."
"But then again, it's true. A urban legend who can't even interfere with others eating hot pot, getting violently beaten by its own offspring isn't impossible. Don't talk about being injured or having Power damaged. Weak is weak. As long as you lose, anything you say is an excuse."
"I think such an interesting thing shouldn't be known only by me. Happiness should be shared by everyone. Anyway, I'm almost done eating this hot pot. Maybe I can go directly to a certain urban legend' beating scene to watch and record it with my phone, then post it in the Void Monster Story Chat Group."
After speaking, Lu Yibei waited for a while longer, looking around. She saw that outside the barrier created by the bracelet, although the fog was much thicker, Maitian God did not appear. She couldn't help but frown.
Good heavens, can it endure that much?
Then I can only...
"Strengthen confidence, do good greening, discharge reasonably, breathe together, fight together, haze gone, starlight brilliant!"
"Bang—!"
As soon as Lu Yibei finished speaking, terrifying Spiritual Energy suddenly erupted around her, violently impacting the barrier opened by the bracelet, letting out a loud bang, followed closely by an angry roar.
"Enough, shut up!"
Following the sound, Lu Yibei shrugged expressionlessly, seeing the blurred human figure outlined by the thick fog outside the rapidly mending barrier.
Didn't it come anyway? What were you doing earlier? If you didn't want to listen, you should have come out sooner!
