Free Web NovelChapter 23: Chapter 23: Yue Yue Jumps Into Another Disaster
The moment Yue Yue stepped out of the baththub, the robotic maid was already waiting with a neatly folded dress on her arms.
Yue Yue sighed heavily because now she had two missions breathing down her neck and only two days of life dangling like a fragile thread.
The maid approached her politely. "Young Miss, your dress is ready."
"Yeah,..thanks," Yue Yue muttered, letting the maid help her change.
As the maid tied the back of the simple white gown, Yue Yue bit her lip and finally asked the question burning in her mind. "Umm... when will Han Soi come back?"
The robotic maid paused for a second, then replied in her emotionless voice, "Servants don’t know when the master will return."
Yue Yue’s expression instantly turned stiff. What was she supposed to do now? She needed to leave. She needed to find this mysterious Fourth Villain and complete the bath mission as soon as possible.
Every passing second was one step closer to her funeral. And she was joking earlier...she didn’t mean anything at all she was just boasting...she truly didn’t want to die and become some wandering ghost drifting in a beast world. That was her worst nightmare. freewebnσvel.cøm
She looked at the maid again, determined to get at least some information. "Okay... then do you have an idea? I mean, when does he usually come back? Like, how long does he stay out?"
The robotic maid blinked once before replying, "Master usually returns after two to three days."
Yue Yue’s eyes widened. "Two to three days?!"
That was perfect. More than perfect. She had enough time to sneak out, complete the side mission, and come back before he even stepped foot inside. Her mood immediately brightened.
"Okay, okay, that’s great. Perfect!" she said quickly, waving her hands like she was afraid this window of good luck would vanish. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
The maid finished adjusting the dress and stepped out. The gown Yue Yue chose was simple, plain white, but still beautiful. Soft and flowing. Not flashy enough to attract attention, but elegant enough to not look suspicious.
Her entire room was filled with gorgeous, glittering clothes, but wearing anything too fancy would make her look like she was running for a beauty pageant instead of running for her life.
The moment the robotic maid left the room, Yue Yue took a deep breath and whispered urgently, "System, how am I even supposed to meet the Fourth Villain? I don’t know where he lives. I don’t know where he is. I don’t even know which part of this orc continent he’s in!"
The system responded immediately, as if this part was the only thing it was competent at.
[Host, this is the system’s responsibility. Helping you meet the villain targets is part of mission support. You only need to focus on completing the task.]
"Wow, now you act responsible," Yue Yue muttered, but she didn’t complain further. If the system was willing to do the hard work of sending her to the target, she wouldn’t argue.
She straightened her dress, tied her hair quickly and nodded firmly. "Fine...do it. Bring me to him."
[DING. Mission location locked. Preparing transfer.]
Before she could even blink, Yue Yue felt the air around her twist. A warm wave spread from her feet to her head. Her vision blurred, her limbs loosened, and suddenly she felt weightless. Her eyes closed on their own like someone had shut off her body.
For a moment, all she heard was a soft hum...like distant wind.
Then everything went silent.
When Yue Yue opened her eyes, she found herself standing in a place unlike anything she had ever seen.
The entire area around her was silent and dim, as if someone had locked all the light away on purpose.
The walls, floor, and pillars were white...so white that the floor reflected her face clearly like polished glass.
But instead of feeling bright, the whole place carried a cold darkness, a strange shadow that hid inside the white color itself. It reminded her of snow at night...which was white, clean, untouched, yet covered in a layer of chill and loneliness.
As she walked a few steps, she realized the structure resembled a beautiful palace.
Everything was carved with delicate designs, every corner shaped with care, and if this place was lit by sunlight, it would definitely be breathtaking. Even in the dimness, she could see its beauty shining quietly beneath the shadows.
She took a cautious step forward, trying to understand where she was, when suddenly she heard fast footsteps approaching.
She panicked on instinct and tried to step back to hide behind a column, but before she could move far, a girl grabbed her wrist firmly.
The girl’s eyes looked annoyed as she asked sharply, "Where are you going? Come to the bathing chamber. We have to prepare it for the Priest. And you...since you are new...don’t act stupid. Keep your eyes on the ground and do only what the other maids do. Try to make your presence as small as possible." Without waiting for Yue Yue to respond, the girl pulled her along as if she had known her for years.
Yue Yue’s head spun. Who was this girl? Why was she grabbing her like this? And more importantly...why was she being treated like she already knew her? Before she could question the girl, the system spoke calmly in her mind.
[Host, I have created an identity for you as one of the temple maids. Do not worry. Everyone will see you as part of them. Follow their rules and meet the Fourth Villain. This identity will support your mission.]
Yue Yue blinked and looked down at herself. Her clothes had changed again. She was no longer wearing her white gown.
Instead, she wore a simple white temple maid outfit, matching the girl who dragged her and the others walking ahead. Suddenly everything made sense. This was a temple. A celestial one. No wonder the place looked like a holy palace made of snow and moonlight.
She wanted to look around more, but the maid beside her hissed, "Do not raise your head! Eyes down! If others see you looking around like this, you will lose your head."
Yue Yue quickly nodded. She didn’t want to get punished before even seeing the villain she had to calm down.
