Free Web NovelIt wasn't until the Maitian God took the bowls and chopsticks from Lu Yibei and sat down by the copper hotpot that it suddenly came to its senses.
It realized something was amiss.
Damn it, why did it still feel like it was being dominated by a Disaster?
It looked down at the porcelain bowl in its hand; it inexplicably felt like smashing the bowl.
About thirty seconds ago, when Lu Yibei invited it to eat hotpot, its patience had already reached its limit.
Although the ritual, which posed a great threat to it, had temporarily been interrupted due to some unknown factor, it couldn't rest easy as long as the ritual wasn't completely destroyed.
However, the moment it angrily turned around, the words that drifted faintly from behind it were like a bullet, tearing through its body and striking its heart—
"Are you really leaving? To face your Offspring alone? If I'm not mistaken, you probably don't stand a chance against that fellow right now, do you?"
"This action reminds me of a soft sci-fi short story I read when I was a child. It talked about how, in the future, food would grow legs, and if you ordered takeout, the food would walk to your doorstep by itself."
Although there was a hint of mockery in saying that a father, or possibly a mother, couldn't handle their child, Lu Yibei spoke it without reservation.
What happened to the Maitian God?
Controlling Spiritual Energy items that could absolutely suppress the other party's Power, she spoke with such confidence!
Moreover, her saying such a thing, apart from a small risk, was also well thought out.
After receiving information from Lin Nian and Netizen Laosepi, she had already realized that the Maitian God alone probably couldn't stop its Offspring from being born.
Its wicked son had been accumulating power ever since he secretly awakened his self-awareness more than twenty years ago, preparing to "rebel against his beautiful King." However, he might have originally needed a long time to act, until he was repeatedly beaten by Qingji and Chatterbox Girl.
Then, the Maitian God's Offspring completely broke free from its control, accumulating enough power in just eight months.
Simply put, the old fellow was no longer useful; it couldn't defeat its child.
The best proof was that the Maitian God instructed its followers to secretly cooperate with the Eclipse Society, and that after its arrival in Mountain City, it had been slow to act.
Lu Yibei completely disbelieved that the Maitian God couldn't find the location of the ritual.
Given the characteristics of the haze, even if the ritual site was hidden in some unknown corner, as long as there was one inhalable particle or a wisp of mist drifting there, the Maitian God would immediately know.
Being able to find it but only poisoning the fanatical believers indirectly showed that it lacked the ability to win head-on!
Lu Yibei even thought that the Maitian God's decision to shroud Mountain City in poisonous haze was because it realized it couldn't win, so it simply gave up, tying countless lives to itself, forcing the Night Watch to send high-level Psychic to help it overcome the crisis.
Anyway, if she herself encountered a similar situation, it was highly likely she would do the same.
In silence, the Maitian God slowly turned around, its gaze drifting towards the rolling red soup, and silently sat back down.
Facts proved that Disaster was truly amazing; not only was its own bottom line very flexible, but it always found ways to make others endure and break through their original limits.
Her guess wasn't entirely correct, but at least the general direction was right.
Seeing the Maitian God sit down, Lu Yibei's gaze lingered on its lower body, which looked as if it had put on a sleeping bag before sitting down, for two seconds, then she abruptly asked, "Xiao Mai, don't you think you're strange like this? If it were you, it shouldn't be difficult to condense a human-like or other form of lower body, right?"
"Does it concern you? I like it! Are you going to talk or not?!" the Maitian God growled, completely devoid of the British gentlemanly demeanor it had when it first appeared.
"Uh, sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment. You don't know, my mouth, my brain, and my body are managed by three separate systems..." Lu Yibei explained, while picking up a freshly blanched piece of tripe and putting it in the bowl.
To express apology, personally serving tripe, the king of hotpot ingredients in the Shu region, into someone's bowl, was absolutely considered sincere for a person from Shu.
After expressing her apology, Lu Yibei almost instantly entered negotiation mode, her tone also becoming serious and earnest, "Since we're cooperating, I think it's necessary to first state my conditions. No objections, right?"
The Maitian God slanted a glance at Lu Yibei and nodded, "Reasonable."
Indeed, very reasonable.
You can set any conditions you want; whether I fulfill them after the matter is over is another story. The Maitian God thought.
"Then let's begin..."
Before Lu Yibei could finish speaking, she heard a sweet shout from nearby, and her words abruptly stopped.
"You dog! What are you doing?!"
Following the sound, she saw a "stranger woman" in a crimson dress, who had appeared outside the barrier opened by the bracelet at some unknown time.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with a mix of anger and confusion, like a melodramatic family drama.
She knew, of course, that it was Ju Meng, but the image of the shameless, lazy beautiful girl in her mind was too much of a contrast with the Miss before her, dressed in formal attire, exuding an imposing aura like an empress going to sacrifice to Mount Tai, making it a bit difficult for her to accept.
The Maitian God looked at the expressionless Lu Yibei, then at Ju Meng, who had her hands on her hips and her chest slightly heaving. It silently put down its bowl, pulled out a white handkerchief from its shirt pocket, and covered its mouth.
Hilarious! Wasn't she very arrogant just now?
You still have the mood to laugh? Lu Yibei glanced at the Maitian God, rolled her eyes, and walked between it and Ju Meng.
"This is Ju Meng the Great God, the Master of the Eight Hundred Li Peach Garden," she said, pointing to Ju Meng. Then she turned sideways and pointed to the Maitian God, "This is the Maitian God, who is about to be beaten up by its own Offspring."
Destroying smiles, Disaster is professional.
The smile on the Maitian God's face instantly stiffened.
They were both Calamity urban legend, both bearing the title of a God, so why was there such a huge difference?
Ju Meng narrowed her eyes and sized up the Maitian God, then turned her gaze to Lu Yibei and said irritably, "So, what's the situation now?"
"Isn't it obvious? The situation now is that I'm going to be a tutor for ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) its child, and it's paying me. We'll start class after this hotpot meal!" Lu Yibei said, straightening her back with a hint of pride.

"You've both agreed?" Ju Meng tilted her head.
Lu Yibei believed her words; putting aside the barrier that perfectly isolated the mist at this moment, Lu Yibei's mouth, like a high-speed rail network, could already convince the Maitian God.
"Not yet!" Lu Yibei explained, "It's only been ten minutes or so, it's not that easy to settle. I was just about to start negotiating, and didn't you, my good Sister, appear?"
"Meaning, Sister, I came at the wrong time?" Ju Meng said, looking sideways.
"How could that be?" Lu Yibei said earnestly, "Good Sister, you came at just the right time. The situation is urgent right now. I was originally planning to continue discussing cooperation details with Xiao Mai on the way. Good Sister, you are knowledgeable, and your appearance at this moment is perfect to help me oversee things."
The preferential treatment for 'Good Sister' appeared again.

Maitian God,
The bottom line of a urban legend, that's how it's gradually eroded.
It swore that today was absolutely the most patient day it had experienced since its birth.
"Besides, Sister, your attire is simply delightful to the eye. Just looking at it calms my emotions. You must wear this outfit at the wedding in the future too!" Lu Yibei continued.
Wedding? Why did she suddenly mention that? Ju Meng's heart inexplicably sped up, and her already scarce anger instantly dissipated. A blush quietly rose on her cheeks, and then she looked at the Maitian God, letting out a fierce, cold snort, "Hmph! If that's the case, then why aren't we leaving yet?"
Maitian God, "?"
What does this have to do with me?
A moment later.
After returning the unconscious Dorees to the car and clearing the mist surrounding the vehicle, Lu Yibei and Ju Meng resumed their journey, heading towards the main urban area of Mountain City.
The Maitian God re-merged into the dense fog, following closely beside them.
Team member +1
As the two ascended again, the surrounding mist surged, and the Maitian God consciously controlled the mist, creating a clear area for them.
The mist covering the main urban area could not be completely dispersed; poisoning the fanatical believers and preventing their pilgrimage was also a crucial part of destroying that ritual.
Of course, Lu Yibei did not put away her copper hotpot and bracelet because of the Maitian God's benevolent actions.
What if that guy suddenly went crazy and attacked someone?
It's better to be cautious!
Everything was ready, and now came the important negotiation phase, but before the negotiation...
"Smelly Girl, can we change positions?" Lu Yibei, who was being carried in a princess carry by Ju Meng while flying, looked up at Ju Meng and said, "This position is a bit awkward."
Ju Meng was holding her, and she was holding the hotpot; it couldn't be stranger.
It felt like she was eating hotpot and suddenly got captured by bandits to be their chieftain's wife, Lu Yibei added in her mind.
"You dog, so many demands!" Ju Meng rolled her eyes, grabbed Lu Yibei's ankle with a backhand, and with a forceful swing, carried her over her shoulder like a sack of rice.
Lu Yibei,
Now it was even more like being taken as a chieftain's wife, and worse than before.
Before, it was the kind of bandit who wanted to talk about feelings, now it had become a bandit purely coveting her body.
Forget it, this is good too, it's convenient for me to talk to Xiao Mai.
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei softly called out to the Maitian God.
"Xiao Mai, Xiao Mai? Come out and talk!"
As her words fell, half a meter away from her, clouds swirled, and a resentful face quietly emerged.
"Then let's continue from where we left off?"
Maitian God,
Seeing it remain silent, Lu Yibei naturally assumed it had given its tacit consent.
"First, after the incident is over, I will spread the news that the main credit for this incident should go to Agent Jiang Li of the Hua City Night Watch and Agent Lu Yibei. Hiss!"
Mid-sentence, she felt a sinful little hand fiercely pinch her inner thigh. It was both painful and itchy, and Lu Yibei couldn't help but gasp for several breaths of cool air. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
After glancing at Ju Meng out of the corner of her eye, she hastily added, "Of course, such a serious situation definitely cannot be resolved by just an A-Level Agent and a B Level Agent. Their success was also inseparable from the benevolent assistance of Ju Meng the Great God in secret."
"At that time, you'll have to secretly cooperate with me and give your believers a hint to make this news real and credible."
What she got from the Night Watch was fame, and what she got from the Maitian God was profit. Who wouldn't like to gain both fame and fortune?
"Alright," the Maitian God said.
It was just doing a favor; it wouldn't suffer any substantial loss.
"Second, your Offspring's urban legend Core... wait, Smelly Girl, does that thing drop a urban legend Core? It won't just drop a placenta because it hasn't fully manifested yet, right?" Lu Yibei asked.
A Calamity urban legend, even a provisional one that hadn't fully manifested, possessed unimaginable Spiritual Energy in its urban legend Core.
Although Ms. Wang Meili's method of constructing the God Kingdom Prototype was very ingenious, making the God Kingdom Prototype not require too much external Spiritual Energy supply, Lu Yibei was not very concerned about when the God Kingdom Prototype she controlled would advance to a complete God Kingdom.
But if there was an opportunity, accumulating more Spiritual Energy was always a good idea, just in case!
Ju Meng glanced at Lu Yibei and rolled her eyes, "Does your family only give birth to a placenta when having a child?"
Just as Lu Yibei and Ju Meng were bickering, the briefly silent Maitian God suddenly spoke, "Alright!"
Lu Yibei hadn't finished stating her conditions, but it had already heard that Lu Yibei wanted that wicked son's urban legend Core.
Honestly, it didn't care.
From a certain perspective, that thing was like a diseased tissue that needed to be surgically removed. Although some people would carefully preserve the excised tissue, it had no such thoughts.
The urban legend Core contained the Power it had been trying to avoid and wanted to separate.
Seeing the Maitian God take the initiative, Lu Yibei nodded in satisfaction, temporarily abandoning some of the "humiliating and power-ceding" unequal treaties she had originally planned.
"Finally, I would like you to answer some of my questions."
Hearing this, the Maitian God suddenly became vigilant and said seriously, "I cannot tell you their names."
"I didn't ask that!" Lu Yibei pouted, "I just want to know why you didn't act many years ago when you had the chance to give birth to an Offspring and then easily eradicate it."
In fact, from the very beginning of investigating the Maitian God's Offspring birth incident with Jiang Li, to the Maitian God's main body descending upon Mountain City, Lu Yibei discovered many incomprehensible aspects.
What puzzled her most was that if Tan Qiuming was related to the Maitian God, then it should have started planning to give birth to an Offspring twenty years ago, but strangely, it delayed for such a long time before taking action.
It was as if someone wouldn't allow it to "give birth"!
Clearly, in the early 21st century, air pollution was more severe, its power was stronger, and it hadn't experienced Hua Qianli killing its clone, nor the repeated beatings by Qingji and Chatterbox Girl. Its Power was at its last glorious moment before its decline.
To exaggerate a bit, it was like it wanted to beat its child, but instead of doing so when it was in its prime and strong, it waited until it was already lying in a hospital bed, and the child told the Doctor, "Pull the plug!" only then did it startle awake from its deathbed illness.
Just now, when the Maitian God mentioned "them" who participated in the siege of Ms. Wang Meili, Lu Yibei vaguely felt that there might be some connection between the two.
After all, a Calamity-level being that could defeat the Maitian God was still somewhat conceivable, but one that could influence its will, the only ones Lu Yibei could think of were "them."
And three existences that even Calamity-level urban legend feared, also linked to Ms. Wang Meili's death—if she could get some information in advance, it would be for the best.
