Free Web NovelThe sky was dim and gloomy, with low-hanging clouds.
Faint, ethereal light filtered through the empty window frames, outlining the Vague silhouettes of the furnishings in the dilapidated back room.
In a corner of the room, on a stone bed resembling a northern kang, Nanling Yaohua slept soundly, her graceful curves accentuated by the bandage-like wrapping. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Most high-level Psychic’s self-healing abilities, though far inferior to urban legend of the same level, were still monstrous compared to ordinary people. After her wounds were bandaged, her condition improved at a visible rate.
A hint of color returned to her pale face. At this rate, perhaps due to excessive blood loss earlier, her delicate pink lips were still veiled with a faint white hue, like a peach-flavored pudding dusted with sugar.
If not for the lingering influence of Renjian Yanhuo, like Lu Yibei, almost anyone seeing such a scene would be moved, wanting to kiss her and taste if her lips held the imagined sweetness.
But now, the person guarding the bed happened to be Lu Yibei...
“...”
At this rate of recovery, Xiao Hua should wake up soon, right?
Once she wakes up, if I ask her for details about the attack, I might be able to guess the approximate reason why Shaman King showed mercy...
“It’s useless to keep guessing here now,” Lu Yibei thought.
She sat quietly by the bed, waiting for Nanling Yaohua to wake up, pondering for a long time but still unable to figure out why Shaman King had shown mercy to Nanling Yaohua.
The only connection she could think of was that Nanling Yaohua might be a descendant of Nanling Commander.
However, such an identity would not only fail to make Shaman King show mercy, but would instead make him intensify his efforts.
One must know that Shaman King was personally suppressed in Yumen Pass by Nanling Commander. Now that he is free, he probably wishes he could dig up Nanling Commander’s ancestral grave, let alone encounter a descendant of Nanling Commander.
It's like, when you were in school, a classmate always bullied you, stole your snacks, told you not to leave after school, and even got you locked in the teacher's office to reflect. Many years later, as an adult in your prime, you coincidentally meet that classmate's child. Wouldn't you beat them to death?
If you can't beat the father, can't you beat the son?
Or... did Shaman King intentionally show mercy precisely because he detected that Xiao Hua was a descendant of Nanling Commander, so that he could torment Xiao Hua again and again?
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei shook her head and muttered mockingly, “What am I thinking? He’s Shaman King, not Torture King. Besides... merely injuring someone, does that even count as torture?”
As she spoke, she reined in her thoughts, stood up, and softly chanted a Spell.
“Jade tower and golden palace, iron-cast walls, dragon’s roar, lion’s roar, tiger’s roar, hundred-zhang railings, a sealed God Kingdom...”
“Play the python flute, strike the softshell turtle drum, moonlight shoots coral, pine produces amber...” freёwebnoѵel.com
“Carved gold, glazed and jade, setting sun formation...”
“...”
After slightly reinforcing and strengthening the defensive Spell already set up around the room, Lu Yibei returned to the bedside, sat down, slowly closed her eyes, and loudly called out in her mind.
“Chatterbox Girl? Chatterbox Girl, where are you? Come out for a bit!”
She wanted to ask Chatterbox Girl why she could touch Xia Lianqing and thus affect past events.
After all, for people living in the present to be able to change the past, no matter how one thinks about it, it’s too bizarre... Lu Yibei really wanted to know what caused such a strange temporal phenomenon.
By the way, she also wanted to ask if Chatterbox Girl had a way to open the God Kingdom Prototype channel.
Although Chatterbox Girl had long said that she might not be effective within Yumen Pass, that was under normal circumstances; however, now it was a special situation.
Yumen Pass is an ownerless God Kingdom, so the restrictions should be much fewer than in an owned God Kingdom.
Therefore, the difficulty of opening the God Kingdom Prototype within Yumen Pass might decrease from trying to play Super Mario in a real-time strategy game to playing Super Mario in a sandbox game.
Although it is still somewhat difficult, as long as there is a great master, it is not impossible to succeed.
And Chatterbox Girl is the ready-made great master...
Of course, all of this was just Lu Yibei’s guess; whether it could work or not, she would only know after asking Chatterbox Girl.
She wasn't greedy; even if she could only open it once or twice, it would be good enough. At least she could take out the Xuan-ying Luofu, and some Paper Cicada Immortal, as well as Alchemy potions and talismans... Oh, and when necessary, the fake Disaster that could be used as a human shield to block attacks.
“Good heavens, you call this not greedy? Why don’t you just let me help you take out everything in the entire God Kingdom Prototype?”
Just as Lu Yibei was secretly thinking, Chatterbox Girl’s sarcastic voice suddenly rang in her ear. The next moment, she felt the familiar sensation of weightlessness Attack.
Along with the strong sense of weightlessness, her consciousness seemed to be stripped from her body, and under the influence of an unknown force, she was thrown into the clouds, then rapidly plummeted, falling into a bottomless, cold abyss.
————
Like a falling leaf, drifting with the currents, she floated in the darkness for a long time. When a solid and cold touch came from her back, Lu Yibei opened her eyes and saw the familiar dilapidated rooftop.
Standing up, she looked around and quickly found Chatterbox Girl’s figure.
She saw her leaning °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° against the new railing at the edge of the rooftop, her long white gauze dress with golden patterns fluttering in the wind. She held the “Q-version Ancient God” in her arms, shedding her usual subtly oppressive demeanor, and exuding an ethereal aura, like a goddess bringing auspiciousness to the earth.
Although the appearance of that “auspiciousness” was still a bit too early for modern people.
“...”
What kind of mischief was she up to now?
Why was she dressed like a bride about to go to a wedding?
“She won’t open her mouth and say something like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m getting married, I’ll be your Chatterbox Girl in the next life!’ will she?” Lu Yibei thought secretly.
Seeing Lu Yibei staring at her in a daze, Chatterbox Girl tidied the strands of hair blown out of place by the wind at her temples, a slight smile playing on her lips, and immediately said, “How is it? Did you manage to gain any benefits during the chaos in Yumen Pass? Or have you already found Shui Ge and are preparing to leave?”
“How could it be that fast?” Lu Yibei rolled her eyes. “Still looking for Shui Ge! You have no idea what I went through last night... I called you out because I wanted to ask you if you had a way to open the God Kingdom Prototype channel.”
“Oh, right, you seemed to have overheard just now?”
“What do you mean ‘overheard’? Don’t make it sound so bad, alright? I was openly understanding customer needs!” Chatterbox Girl said, shaking her head. “However, if you’re asking about this matter, I’m sorry...”
“Holy cow! Did I really guess correctly?” Lu Yibei’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed slightly.
She wasn't unable to accept Chatterbox Girl getting married; she just couldn't accept that someone who was most likely another “Lu Yibei” would go and marry someone else.
Noticing Lu Yibei’s reaction, Chatterbox Girl laughed even harder, as if her prank had succeeded, and continued, “I’m sorry, but opening the God Kingdom Prototype channel is very difficult for me alone, even if Yumen Pass is an ownerless God Kingdom, it’s still very difficult, unless...”
Mid-sentence, her eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze resting on Lu Yibei.
“You mean you need my power?” Lu Yibei frowned, pressing, “Just tell me directly, what do I need to do to open the God Kingdom Prototype channel?”
“Who said you need to do anything?” Chatterbox Girl shook her head. “What I mean is, to open the God Kingdom Prototype channel, someone inside the God Kingdom Prototype needs to help... How to put it? It’s like the door is locked and can’t be opened from the outside, but someone inside can help open it.”
“Only then can I help you open the God Kingdom Prototype channel.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei frowned, “The person in the God Kingdom Prototype, but how do I contact...”
Mid-sentence, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and her eyes lit up.
Lu Yibei suddenly thought of a way to contact the person in the God Kingdom Prototype.
Noticing the change in Lu Yibei’s eyes, Chatterbox Girl tilted her head and asked, “It seems you’ve thought of a way?”
“Yes, I have, but...” Lu Yibei’s eyes dimmed, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.
The only method she could think of at the moment to easily contact someone within the God Kingdom Prototype, ignoring most external factors, was through the vassal mark, and there was indeed a vassal of hers within the God Kingdom Prototype, but the problem was that vassal was Wang Yingying...
“Will asking a little one with a child’s mind for help really not cause trouble?” Lu Yibei thought.
She didn’t think Wang Yingying would be able to complete this arduous task.
This kind of thing is like telling a kindergarten child that the Eclipse Society is about to launch a terrorist attack and asking her to find a way to stop it; it’s not only difficult for the child but also tormenting for the adults the child seeks help from.
After all, only their peers can fully understand a child’s thoughts.
“However, that method isn’t very feasible,” Lu Yibei told Chatterbox Girl. “I’ll think about it first and try a few times. If it works, I’ll tell you.”
“Alright! I’m not in a hurry anyway.” Chatterbox Girl pouted, stretched, and then pointed a finger at the “Q-version Ancient God” in her arms, saying, “If there’s nothing else, then see you? It’s about time, I need to go walk the baby.”
Lu Yibei glanced at the creepy thing in Chatterbox Girl’s arms, hesitating to speak, until Chatterbox Girl was about to turn and leave, then she came back to her senses and softly called out, “Wait a moment, there’s one more thing, a very important thing.”
Hearing this, Chatterbox Girl stopped, turned sideways, and tilted her head indifferently, “What is it? Can’t you just say it all at once?”
“...” Lu Yibei pondered for a moment, then said in a serious and solemn tone, “I might have changed the past.”
“Changed the past? How did you do it?” Chatterbox Girl was stunned for a moment, disbelief flashing in her eyes. Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly pressed, “How did you change it? Tell me in detail.”
“Hmm...” Lu Yibei briefly organized her thoughts and recounted the story.
“It happened like this...”
