Free Web Novel“Left Envoy Fang, do you know? Just now, just now, a miracle flower of that scale bloomed! I’ve only seen it on Holy Child! Uh, that was last time on Zhenwu... But I only saw it from afar, but this time... My goodness! First time this close!”
“Is that the power of the holy relic? A miracle, a rare miracle in the world!”
“Praise the miracle!”
“......”
Watching Shem’s incoherent excitement, Fang Ji sighed silently and said impatiently, “Elder Shem, you’ve repeated the same words thirty-two times, like a marketing account. Can’t you come up with something new?”
“Left Envoy Fang, wasn’t I too excited?” Shem’s expression was awkward, but soon the flame of excitement gradually reignited. “Just now, a miracle flower of that scale...”
Seeing Shem about to repeat his old sayings, Fang Ji rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, stood up, and walked out of the tent.
“Hey, Left Envoy Fang, where are you going?”
Hearing Shem’s call, Fang Ji paused slightly, turned his head, and replied, “I’m going for a walk. I have a vague feeling that I might miraculously find Calamity Miss there.”
Hearing this, Shem was slightly startled and quickly got up to follow. “Why [N O V E L I G H T] didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll go with you!”
“No need!” Fang Ji raised a hand to stop Shem and said, “In your current state, it’s better to stay here and calm down a bit, right? Holy Child will arrive in the next two days. If you offend Holy Child, be careful not to be blamed. Also...”
He paused, then changed the subject, saying seriously, “Since Holy Child is about to arrive, the ceremony can also be prepared to start. Elder Shem, you can arrange this, right?”
Hearing this, Shem composed himself and said respectfully, “Yes, I will follow Left Envoy’s arrangements.”
Fang Ji nodded, turned around, and left the tent, walking towards the adjacent area shrouded in night. He soon disappeared.
After leaving the tent, he walked alone in the night, aimlessly like a tumbleweed blown by the wind, among the undulating grey-white sand dunes, until he saw the girl whose body was half-buried in the sand, with a faint aura...
“Oh? Here? I finally found you, the fake Calamity Miss...”
Fang Ji murmured, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

After enjoying the “ancient god” sheep brought by Lu Yibei, the Night Watch agents gathered in the open space outside the Kulun Ridge outpost quickly dispersed.
Only three people remained, responsible for night security.
Psychic are also human. Although they won’t have major problems if they stay awake for several days, if they can rest more, their overall condition will be much better.
Seeing the Night Watch agents returning to their cave dwellings one after another, and the open space gradually becoming quiet, Lu Yibei also stood up, preparing to return to the cave dwelling assigned to her.
However, when she asked Nanling Yaohua where her cave dwelling was, she received bad news.
“What?” Lu Yibei turned her head to look at the ruins of the cave dwelling that had been collapsed by a large truck and hadn’t yet been cleaned or repaired, her eyes wide. “That’s the cave dwelling assigned to me?”
She had already observed earlier that there were at least a dozen cave dwellings for Night Watch agents to rest in the Kulun Ridge outpost. It just so happened that the one that collapsed was assigned to her... Wasn’t that a bit too coincidental?
“Of course it’s not a coincidence.” Nanling Yaohua shrugged. “It’s precisely because that cave dwelling was collapsed by you that everyone decided to assign that cave dwelling to you after discussion.”
“Huh?” Lu Yibei frowned. “How can they be like this? Making decisions without authorization...”
“I told them to do it.” Nanling Yaohua said indifferently.
“......” Lu Yibei was speechless for a moment.
Hearing Nanling Yaohua say this, she suddenly realized that these cave dwellings in the Kulun Ridge outpost were all properties of the Yumen Sand Sea lineage, and Nanling Yaohua was also the person in charge of the Kulun Ridge outpost.
Without Nanling Yaohua’s instruction, even if the Night Watch agents wanted to assign the collapsed cave dwelling to her without authorization, they wouldn’t have that authority.
Alright, whatever you say it is, it is!
Who told me I collapsed that cave dwelling, and I’m afraid of being disemboweled by you?
One takes responsibility for one’s actions. At worst, I won’t rest tonight... Lu Yibei thought.
Just then, Nanling Yaohua suddenly took her hand and smiled, “Don’t worry, I arranged it this way to reduce everyone’s dissatisfaction with you. Until that cave dwelling is repaired, you can stay with me, right? My cave dwelling is quite large.”
Lu Yibei, “......” *Hiss!* Why does that sound a little off?
Seeing that Lu Yibei didn’t agree immediately, Nanling Yaohua walked directly in front of her, tilted her head, and said, “Qingyi, you don’t mind, do you?”
“I thought, the situation is special, and we’re both girls, and we get along so well, so it should be fine to make do, right?”
“If you really aren’t used to sleeping with others, you can also move a bed over. I just checked, although that cave dwelling has mostly collapsed, the bed inside is still intact.”
“Uh...” Lu Yibei hesitated for two seconds, then nodded. “Yes, it’s fine.” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Since Nanling Yaohua said so, what else could she do?
Tell her she wasn’t a girl? Of course not! The identity of Lu Qingyi was fake!
Anyway, it’s just making do for one night in a cave dwelling, and there are two beds, so it’s all innocent. What’s the problem? Lu Yibei thought.
However, some things sound great in theory, but in practice, they are a completely different concept.
Especially when someone is secretly causing trouble...
Nanling Yaohua’s cave dwelling was not far from the collapsed one. Lu Yibei easily moved the single bed from the collapsed cave dwelling into hers, and then, under Nanling Yaohua’s guidance, left the cave dwelling to wash up.
When she finished washing and returned to the cave dwelling about ten minutes later, she was dumbfounded.
Her pillow and sheets were soaked, with some milky white substance vaguely visible, and they emitted a strong muttony smell.
Nanling Yaohua, holding a water cup, stood beside her with an awkward expression.
“Uh, I’ve had a habit of drinking a cup of hot goat milk before bed since I was little. When I was drinking just now, I sat on your bed for a bit, and accidentally... Sorry!”
“Look, there are no extra pillows or sheets here now, so I can only wash them clean tomorrow and change them for you. Tonight... just make do with me.”
“How about this, I’ll put my sword in the middle of the bed, and we’ll each have half!”
Saying that, she gracefully walked to her large bed, lifted her skirt hem, revealing her fair calves, slowly sat down, and then reached out to gently pat the edge of the bed.
The corners of her mouth slightly lifted, smiling very warmly.
Looking at Nanling Yaohua’s appearance, which was exactly like a scumbag taking a girl out and trying every possible way to only get one large bed room, Lu Yibei’s eyelids twitched slightly.
Accidentally spilled?
An A+ rank Psychic, proficient in Body Technique, can’t even hold a cup of goat milk steady? You’re kidding me!
It’s all a setup, and a layered one at that.
Smelly Girl, look at her. If you had gently guided her like this, instead of making the room look like a prison, wouldn’t it have succeeded long ago?
However, if Ju Meng told Lu Yibei that only one room was left in the huge Tao Hua Family Inn, Lu Yibei probably wouldn’t believe it either.
Lu Yibei looked at Nanling Yaohua’s exquisite face, which exuded sincerity and warmth, and clearly sensed a hint of conspiracy.
She suddenly recalled the extra decade of memories spent in Dream City. In those memories, Nanling Yaohua, though mostly gentle and virtuous, was actually quite mischievous.
If the Nanling Yaohua in Dream City was not a projection but herself, did that mean her real self also had a similar personality?
“......”
So... could she have already seen through my identity and is deliberately teasing me?
Or has she been so heartbroken that even her XP system has been reinstalled?
Damn it, no matter which one it is, if I climb into this bed today, even if I can get off tomorrow, I definitely won’t be able to get off the day after tomorrow or the day after that. Lu Yibei thought.
This kind of thing is exactly as stated in “On the Six States”: “Today, five cities are ceded, tomorrow ten cities are ceded, and then one night of peace is obtained. When one looks around the four borders, Qin soldiers have arrived again... Serving Qin with land is like using firewood to put out a fire; if the firewood is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished.”
Today, Nanling Yaohua invited her to sleep in the same bed; tomorrow, the sword in the middle would have to be removed. She didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen the day after tomorrow or the day after that!
“I appreciate Miss Nanling’s kindness, but ever since I studied with Sect Leader for a period and mastered the method of breathing in lunar yin, I haven’t slept at night for a long time.”
Lu Yibei expressionlessly refused Nanling Yaohua’s invitation, went to the single bed she had moved, sat down, and said indifferently, “I’ll cultivate here tonight, Miss Nanling, please make yourself at home.”
After speaking, she sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.
To be honest, facing a Miss of Nanling Yaohua’s peerless beauty making such an invitation, Lu Yibei was physiologically very much inclined to accept, but her psychology wouldn’t allow it.
Firstly, there might be a conspiracy hidden in Nanling Yaohua’s actions.
Secondly, if anything really happened, it wouldn’t be fair to Miao Miao Jiang and... a certain two-character great deity.
“Oh, I see. Then good luck.” Nanling Yaohua said, no longer trying to persuade Lu Yibei. She blew out the lamp, lay back on the bed, and pulled up the covers.
Soon, silence returned to the darkness, with only the faint sound of wind passing through the window cracks and subtle breathing.
Nanling Yaohua seemed to have gone to sleep peacefully and dutifully...
But Lu Yibei didn’t believe it!
Although her eyes were tightly closed, her spiritual perception quietly expanded to its maximum, keeping a vigilant watch on Nanling Yaohua until a hint of fish-belly white appeared in the sky outside the window...
Throughout the night, Nanling Yaohua made no abnormal movements. Looking at her sweetly sleeping profile, Lu Yibei frowned.
Did I overthink it?
There was no conspiracy here at all; she just genuinely felt a connection with “Lu Qingyi,” so she was exceptionally enthusiastic? Lu Yibei thought.
She had originally thought that Nanling Yaohua would cause some trouble last night.
Just as Lu Yibei was gradually beginning to doubt life, a faint commotion came from outside the window.
“Something big, something big has happened! Where’s Miss Nanling?”
