Peony Street.
Du Sixian didn’t dream tonight. During this period of time, she has become accustomed to entering that dreamscape every night to practise mantras. However, now that she wasn’t dreaming, she couldn’t sleep and would get up every two or three hours.
However, now that her body was imbued with spiritual energy, a little rest was needed to sate her.
Upon waking up, her first thought was to practise. She figured she couldn’t rely on the dreamscape too much, fearing that it might disappear.
An Qing told her earlier today that once she has fully mastered the first mantra, she can continue with her physical training.
Combining her physical skills with her magic would supposedly form a deadly combo.
‘So, you have to push yourself!’ Du Sixian yelled inwardly. ‘You got this, Du Sixian!’
Holding the scroll, she took advantage of the night to push open the window and lean against it, hoping to refresh herself with the cool breeze.
Outside the window, a thin mist floated down the pale Peony Street.
Du Sixian was fascinated by the scenery for a while, and at this moment, a crisp bell rang in her ears, and a girl appeared at the end of the street.
She was wearing a white skirt with strange patterns printed on the corners, and she walked barefoot on the bluestone slab like a peony quietly blooming at night.
‘Who is this?’
Taking a closer look, she recognised this as the girl who was drawing runes at the Night Division, and she was very beautiful.
While she was staring at the young girl, the young girl also noticed her and cast her gaze from afar.
Sensing the girl’s gaze, Du Sixian was taken aback for a moment before dropping her scroll onto the street.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then leaned over to pick up the scroll. She floated gently towards Du Sixian’s side.
“Your scroll,” the girl said.
While speaking, her body leaned forward slightly, an inexplicable fragrance of flowers wafted through her nose, and she smiled sweetly. That smile seemed to illuminate the moon with a pink hue.
Du Sixian took the scroll from the girl’s hand without saying a word and put the scroll away. When she turned back around, she found that the girl had already disappeared.
Looking at the empty streets under the night, Du Sixian felt that her cheeks were hot as if she had fallen deeply in love.
‘What the…’
In the early morning, the rising sun lifts the veil of night and illuminates the Earth.
When Lu Yibei returned to his apartment, the security guard considered calling the police on him.
He was almost naked; his shorts were torn. He had covered his family jewels while he carried a weird wooden box with him.
The clothes he got from Professor Ma were made of ordinary fabric after all, and they couldn’t bear his body growing the moment he transformed back into a boy.
He felt like the Incredible Hulk, bursting out of his clothes.
Fortunately, the real estate aunt, who was fascinated by Shui, appeared and confirmed Yibei’s identity, and the security guard reluctantly let him in.
Without staying too long, Lu Yibei walked through the community all the way, returned to his apartment, and knocked on the door impatiently.
Knock! Knock!
After Lu Yibei knocked on the door twice, he vaguely heard footsteps coming from behind the door, and the door was pushed open slightly, revealing a pair of lazy, emerald eyes beyond the gaps.
“Where were you?” Jumeng moaned. “I’ll have you know I’m scared of the dark! You had me worried sick!”
At that time, the morning sunlight filled the whole room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Jumeng’s porcelain-like face seemed to be coated with a thin layer of gold; her soft, long hair was loosely scattered, and she rubbed her sleepy eyes with one hand.
She was wearing a large white T-shirt with “I don’t want to work” written in big red characters on it.
As the breeze blew, the large T-shirt worn as a nightgown rose and fell, exposing her smooth and slender legs, and her pink feet were juicy under the golden sunlight.
“Why are you wearing my clothes?”
“What else do you want me to wear? I’ll remind you that you injured me, and…”
“Okay, okay, I get it,” Yibei sighed. He couldn’t believe that this girl was an ancient goddess.
However, he couldn’t complain. A goddess with gorgeous breasts and beautiful thighs…
He stretched out his finger and poked Jumeng’s face.
“What are you doing?” she pouted, but she didn’t resist.
Cute.
After entering the house, Lu Yibei went upstairs and changed into a new pair of clothes.
As soon as he went downstairs and came to the living room, Lu Yibei was about to look for Jumeng, but a gust of wind blew, caressing him with its strange hands as Jumeng manifested right beside him.
“Look, I promised to help nurse you back to health, but I didn’t say anything about satisfying your strange interests.”
Jumeng wrapped her arms around his chest and asked seductively in his ears, “The cores. Did you bring back cores for me?”
“How did you…”
Did she secretly follow me yesterday?
It can’t be! If she were following her, she would’ve killed her long ago.
“You’re being stupid on purpose, right? I can sense the charms you use, you know. An average of three charms can kill an average urban legend, and you used thirty-seven. So, on average, you must have collected ten cores, right?”
Lu Yibei frowned.
‘Is she… blackmailing me?’
Age truly comes with the stinky disease of having no shame.
“Well, I did get a core… emphasis on ‘a’.”
While speaking, he took out half of Lu Xu’s core and handed it to Jumeng.
“This is half a core. Not even ‘a’ core.”
Jumeng suspects that he’s lying to her.
Lu Yibei shrugged and patiently told Ju Meng what happened last night, omitting many unnecessary details.
“Lu Yibei! Am I not enough for you? Leaving me alone at home to hook up with other women….. you… you!”
Jumeng feigned being hurt, and Yibei couldn’t help but want to laugh.
‘You could at least pretend to be hurt.’
“Well, take it or leave it. If you don’t want it, I’ll use it to make cores.”
“I never said no!”
Jumeng immediately snatched the core away and ran a good distance away from Yibei, afraid that he might snatch it away from her.
Suddenly, Yibei remembered something and yelled out, “Wait!”
Jumeng was visibly startled, and the core slipped down her throat, causing it to be stuck.
“Ack! Ack! What are you?”
A cold bead of sweat dripped down Yibei’s forehead. Now that she has swallowed Lu Xu’s core in full, wouldn’t she be able to see everything that Lu Xu has seen?
Like the scenes of Yibei hunting him down?
Lu Yibei looked at Jumeng from the corner of his eye and found that she was staring at him with a gloomy expression, and her body trembled.
“Yibei… Why are you lying to me?”
‘It’s over for me! It’s over,’ Lu Yibei cried out inwardly.
