Free Web NovelIn the dark room, Lu Yibei stared at the kitchen knives on the coffee table for a long time, thinking back and forth that the possibility of her family's heirloom kitchen knives being divine weapons was not high.
“Sigh——!”
Thinking of her Old Dad again, Lu Yibei couldn't help but sigh with melancholy.
Although Old Dad was a very kind person, he was never reliable when he spoke, Lu Yibei thought.
Just like when I was young, he kept telling me that he had arranged a childhood engagement for me, and the other party was a very beautiful Miss, so I shouldn't worry about not being able to find a wife in the future. But now I've become like this, and where is the wife?
I haven't even held a girl's hand!
Thinking carefully, Lu Yibei felt that it was probably a well-intentioned lie Old Dad fabricated to prevent her, when she was young, from realizing too early that she was someone no one wanted.
Therefore, these kitchen knives might truly be extraordinary if they can easily cut through the core body of urban legend, but she shouldn't have too much hope.
If she really took them to hack urban legend, and they weren't as powerful as she imagined, and she was counter-killed by the urban legend in two or three moves, wouldn't she be an idiot?
After a moment of silence, Lu Yibei sorted out her thoughts.
When facing urban legend, the heirloom kitchen knives could be used as a trump card, but she couldn't rely on them excessively, just like...
The power within her body.
...
Pulling back her thoughts, Lu Yibei began to chop the filling, urban legend core body flavored.
She was very skilled at chopping filling.
Her family's former restaurant had a signature dish—Spicy Lion's Head.
Lion's Head was originally a Huaiyang dish. Lu Yibei's Old Dad combined it with local tastes and improved it into a spicy flavor, which unexpectedly worked well and received much praise.
When Lu Yibei helped out in the kitchen during her holidays, Old Dad was too busy, so the meat filling used to make Lion's Head would be left for her to prepare.
“Dong——dong——dong——!”
Lu Yibei held a Sang Dagger in her left hand and a Wenwu Knife in her right, using both hands, striking the cutting board quickly yet rhythmically, producing muffled thuds.
The urban legend in the apartment really couldn't stand such a “bloody” scene. Lifting their wilted Eyeballs, they scurried away in a flash, not knowing which corner they had hidden in to shiver.
Half a piece of the urban legend core body gradually turned into meat paste amidst flashes of cold light. The work of chopping the filling was only halfway done when Lu Yibei's upstairs neighbor became annoyed.
“Damn it! Chopping meat filling in the middle of the night, are you sick!?”
Hearing the sound, Lu Yibei shrank her neck, secretly stuck out her tongue, and stopped.
She could understand the neighbor's complaint.
Neighbors, these magical creatures, can always do things like singing, drilling walls, or chopping meat filling when you want to sleep. Lu Yibei had encountered it several times, and it was very frustrating.
After wiping the kitchen knives clean, Lu Yibei picked up a small clump of black muddy substance chopped on the cutting board with one hand and walked towards the coffee table.
The chopped urban legend core body was only a pinch the size of a fingernail. Although it was a bit small, this was just an initial attempt, and too much might be wasted.
Lu Yibei thought, spreading her hand, she scooped a little of the urban legend core body from her palm into the melted cinnabar, stirred it twice with chopsticks, and then something she hadn't expected happened.
The reddish-purple liquid mixed with urban legend core body and cinnabar first rolled twice, then immediately began to boil as if it were heated, bubbling and gurgling.
In an instant, the boiling liquid ignited, sending up a crimson flame over three meters high. Silver light points suddenly appeared, exploding in mid-air, turning into a dazzling and magnificent stream of color, crackling like firecrackers «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» being set off during the New Year.
The sudden dazzling light and explosion sound startled Lu Yibei. Like a frightened kitten, she frantically dodged, knocking over the unused cinnabar on the table. She leaped high, her head hitting the ceiling with a “Dong!”
In less than a minute, the entire living room became a mess.
Lu Yibei lay on the floor, looking at the slightly cracked wall on the ceiling. The first thought that popped into her mind was actually, thank goodness the construction team's product quality was excellent!
Damn it, this was a real miscalculation. I should have been more cautious.
When I swallowed the urban legend core body, it didn't feel that powerful. How could such a small pinch have such great power?
Lu Yibei thought, just as she was about to get up and check the results of her self-destructive experiment, the apartment door was violently knocked on with a loud shout.
“Dong dong dong——dong dong dong——!”
“CNM! Are you never going to stop? You stopped chopping filling and started setting off firecrackers?”
“And you're knocking on my ceiling? I just yelled at you twice! Why are you so vengeful?”
“Open the door, come out! Aren't you pretty awesome? Come out!”
Lu Yibei, “...”
...
The person knocking on the door was a man with a body like a ** and two tattooed arms thicker than Lu Yibei's thighs, looking like a Z Country version of Dwayne Johnson. Accompanying him was a fierce German Shepherd. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
This man and dog arrived aggressively. Before Lu Yibei opened the door, the large dog, not much smaller than her, had already bared its teeth and prepared to bark ferociously at its Master's command.
However...
As soon as Lu Yibei opened the door, the large dog seemed to be extremely startled, let out a sharp “Ow!”, shrank behind its Master, trembling all over and whimpering.
They say dogs can see things humans can't, and it's true. In the dog's eyes, behind that door was simply a demon's den.
There was everything, shadowy figures, floating around, it was too ♦ scary for a dog!
“You, you, you...” The strong man was also stunned when he saw Lu Yibei. He vaguely remembered that the person living downstairs was a pretty decent-looking person, the kind of Xiao Bai face who would lie on the ground for half a day after being punched by him. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
But what was going on with this beautiful girl in front of him? An internet celebrity? A star? She couldn't be a monster, could she?
She was also wearing a men's Coat. Could it be that the noise just now was them doing something intimate?
Damn it! I'm not jealous of the Xiao Bai face at all!
“Excuse me...”
Lu Yibei opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, the strong man apologized with a pleasant expression while backing away.
“It's nothing, I'm fine, just came to visit!” The strong man chuckled awkwardly.
Although he was bursting with anger, even if he was angry, he couldn't lay a hand on such a delicate and beautiful girl, could he?
If I punched her, I'd probably have to beg her not to die, the strong man thought, and couldn't help but secretly scold the Xiao Bai face living downstairs in his heart. Letting a girl come out to take the bullet was truly a Scumbag (scumbag)!
“Visiting in the middle of the night?” Lu Yibei tilted her head. Her long, pale pink hair flowed like water from her expressionless face, and her eyes held boundless indifference.
For some reason, looking at Lu Yibei's beautiful and cold face, the strong man felt a sudden panic and stammered, “I... I... I'm fine! I'll come back during the day tomorrow!”
He fled as if escaping, and his dog ran faster than him.
“Bang——!”
Lu Yibei closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a long sigh of relief, secretly pondering in her heart.
Fortunately, she met someone who was quite gentlemanly towards women and didn't force his way in to argue.
Otherwise, if he had seen the ground covered in bright red cinnabar, the shiny kitchen knives on the table, and smelled the faint stench like a rotten corpse lingering in the air, he would probably have imagined all sorts of scenarios.
It's time to consider getting some kind of secret base. Things like making talismans will probably be necessary in the future, and it's really inconvenient in densely populated areas.
While thinking, Lu Yibei saw the blurry outline reflected in the living room window and subconsciously pinched her face.
Speaking of which, I didn't expect this face to have this effect. Maybe I can use this advantage when I encounter danger in the future. Although it's very embarrassing, it's better than dying!
...
The sudden flame had blackened a patch on the ceiling, and the substance produced by the explosion of the silver light points had scattered all over the floor like a heavy rain.
Lu Yibei walked over, squatted down to examine it carefully, and couldn't help but frown.
On the floor, reddish-purple liquid beads reflected a weak light, their form somewhere between metal and liquid.
“How could this happen? Did the urban legend core body reduce the cinnabar back into mercury?”
Lu Yibei muttered to herself, and the scene of ancient alchemists refining cinnabar into mercury, gleefully swallowing it, and then dying on the spot, flashed in her mind.
After pondering for a moment, she decided to try making a talisman with the reddish-purple liquid beads.
She fetched a brush and a semi-finished talisman, dipped the tip of the brush lightly into a liquid bead, and slowly traced along the notes of the incantation.
The entire process continued peacefully for about half an hour. Lu Yibei stopped writing and quietly watched the talisman glow with a green light like flowing water, followed by a needle-like pain in her palm.
“Plop——!” With a sharp pain in her palm, Lu Yibei let go, and the peach wood talisman dropped to the ground with a light sound.
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to her senses.
It's effective against urban legend! It worked?! I successfully created the First Light Spring Wind Curse.
Lu Yibei thought happily, looking at the dozens of remaining peach wood raw materials on the table. Her gaze deepened, and she quickly immersed herself in the process of making talismans again until the night was ending.
That night, without knowing it, she made a total of sixty-eight enhanced collector's edition First Light Spring Wind Curses.
After tidying up the remaining materials, she stood up and stretched her limbs. Her eyes inadvertently swept over the kitchen knives on the table, then slightly lit up as if she remembered something. She picked up the kitchen knives and walked towards the mingwang statue in the corner of the living room.
Flipping the mingwang statue over to expose the flat base, she hesitated for a few seconds, then lightly scraped it with the knife. Accompanied by a metallic sound that made her teeth ache, bronze-colored powder rustled down.
There is no comparison, no harm.
The hardness is much higher than the mingwang statue. The heirloom kitchen knives are this terrifying?! Lu Yibei thought. It seems that from now on, I don't have to carry that large lump of iron, the mingwang statue, everywhere every time. Carrying two kitchen knives is much more convenient.
