It was early morning, in Room 302 of the Tao Hua Family Inn.
The wind, carrying humid air, beat against the window. Lu Yibei, still in bed, heard the noisy chirping of sumr cicadas outside, faintly mixed with the light clinking of tal and bricks.
She crawled out of bed, rubbed her ssy hair, and looked expressionlessly out the window, rolling her eyes.
She wondered if the Maitian God's heavy fog had ssed them up; even the cicada's chirping had a smoky quality.
Even like this, they still want to mate and reproduce, truly tenacious... Lu Yibei muttered to herself, stretching.
As she stretched, her Coat quickly writhed. The mont her hand dropped, her black camisole nightgown transford into a white T-shirt and denim shorts. Then, tentacles extended from the back collar, ticulously combing her ssy long hair.
The thoughtful and obedient little Coat always ensured that its favorite Demoness would go out looking her best.

After getting up, putting on her shoes, and a quick wash, Lu Yibei went to the nightstand. She picked up her phone, which had been charging all night, and flipped through it repeatedly, her willow-like brows gradually knitting together.
“What’s going on? Sothing doesn’t seem right?”
Three days had passed since the heavy fog enveloped Mountain City.
Three days ago, after she successfully signed a vassal contract with Zhang Yu, she fell into a state of Spiritual Energy depletion.
Although Lu Yibei’s Spiritual Energy fluctuation level had reached A-Level, Zhang Yu’s Spiritual Energy fluctuation level was not low. Healing him from a near-death state through the vassal mark consud so much Spiritual Energy that it almost drained Lu Yibei dry.
So, after signing the vassal contract and forcing out her last bit of energy to send a ssage to Jiang Li, she fainted and was then brought back here by Ju ng.
During these three days, she spent most of her ti sleeping, in a state of sleeping eight hours and swearing for two minutes.
Even those precious two minutes for swearing were used to send ssages to Jiang Li, but...
June 30, 3:56 AM, Wang Bu Liu Xing: “The incident is finally perfectly resolved. Now we can have fun.”
July 1, 2:21 PM, Wang Bu Liu Xing: “Why haven’t you replied? Are you still busy with things over there?”
July 2, 10:03 PM, Wang Bu Liu Xing: “Okay, you go ahead and be busy. Rember to reply to when you’re done! Then, we’ll continue investigating matters concerning your aunt.”
Lu Yibei had sent ssages to Jiang Li for three consecutive days but received no reply, which gave her a faint sense of unease and a strange feeling of anxiety.
Although Jiang Li often couldn't reply to her ssages promptly when undergoing Spirit Mark advancent at Si Ye Hui Headquarters, this was a different ti.
Now, Jiang Li had entered the final assessnt stage of Spirit Mark advancent, with fewer strict rules and restrictions. Even if the incident caused by the Maitian God Offspring had caused significant damage to Mountain City, leaving the Shancheng Si Ye Hui overwheld, three days should have been °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° enough ti to spare to reply to a ssage.
Could Miao Miao Jiang... Just as this thought arose in Lu Yibei’s mind, she shook her head vigorously, stopping her thoughts from spiraling in a negative direction.
————
When Lu Yibei went downstairs, she wandered around, checking the guest rooms, hallways, and activity rooms but didn't see Ju ng. Following the sounds of knocking and banging from the backyard, she found the landlady tending to the green plants in the garden.
Thanks to the fog created by the Maitian God, all the vegetation in the Tao Hua Family Inn withered overnight. Landlady Tan had been busy planting new greenery for the past two or three days.
“Good morning, Landlady Tan. Have you seen Ju ng?”
Hearing Lu Yibei’s voice, Landlady Tan put down her small trowel, turned around, and smiled, “Oh, it’s Calamity Miss. Lord Ju ng went out early this morning, saying she needed to buy so snacks for the road.”
“For the road?” Lu Yibei tilted her head, confused, “Where is she going? She didn’t tell .”
“Back to Taoyuan!” Landlady Tan was also surprised, then quickly realized, “Oh, I guess Lord Ju ng was probably worried about disturbing your rest, so she hasn’t told you yet?”
Hearing this, Lu Yibei beca even more puzzled, “So urgent? Did sothing happen in Taoyuan?”
Isn't it because of what you caused? Landlady Tan showed a strange expression, scrutinizing Lu Yibei for a mont before patiently saying, “It’s nothing major. It’s just that when we fought against the urban legend that appeared at Jiaochangkou, we used Power and consud a lot of money.”
“Now that Taoyuan is running low on funds, Lord Ju ng naturally has to go back and take charge!”
Used Power... consud a lot of money? Lu Yibei frowned, recalling Ju ng's Power description, and then her eyes twitched slightly as if she realized sothing.
No way? Can Slly Girl’s Power be used like that?
No wonder she insisted on giving her the core of the Maitian God Offspring’s urban legend body...
Why didn't she just tell ?
Upon learning that Ju ng had only fought the giant black shadow to a draw by spending money, and as the first person to recite Ju ng's new Power description, Lu Yibei's mood suddenly beca complicated.
It felt like playing a building ga, haphazardly creating a bizarre creature, only for it to turn out invincible.
Besides, she also felt a strong warmth rising in her heart.
Having spent funds that almost drained Taoyuan dry, Ju ng only asked her for one core of the Maitian God Offspring’s urban legend body...
What kind of super-unbeatable friendship price is this?
If you ask , she should at least compensate Slly Girl with a few hundred kilograms of gold plus a portion of Human Fireworks!
However, a urban legend as generous as Slly Girl definitely wouldn't care about gold, so only a portion of Human Fireworks is needed.
The remaining Human Fireworks seems to be only Shui Ge’s share... I don’t know if he needs it, I’ll have to ask him first.
Lu Yibei thought, quickly pulled out her phone, and dialed Bai Kai. Imdiately, she heard the “phone turned off” prompt.
“Strange, what’s going on lately? Is the whole world playing hide-and-seek?”
Lu Yibei mumbled, hung up the phone, and then took out her bao sang cang xiao badge. She infused it with Spiritual Energy, attempting to contact Bai Kai.
Although Jiang Li might be with the Shancheng Si Ye Hui agents, handling the aftermath of the Maitian God Offspring incident, making it inconvenient to contact her with the bao sang cang xiao badge, Shui Ge never had any serious business, so there were no such concerns.
After waiting for a mont, Lu Yibei found that the bao sang cang xiao badge also received no response. It lay silently in her palm, showing no signs of vibration, as if it were just an ordinary craft.
Frowning deeply, she stood still and pondered for a mont. Lu Yibei took out her phone again and logged into the Night Watch intranet.
Check Shui Ge’s travel information!
How many days has it been?
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revamped, which may result in the loss of reading progress. Please save your “book shelf” and “reading record” (screenshots recomnded) in ti. We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
I want to see what that guy Shui Ge is up to! Lu Yibei thought.
However, before she could find Bai Kai’s travel information, an email from Jin Guan City appeared in her sight first.
【Night Watch Southwest Regional Headquarters: Invitation to investigate the disappearance of Hua City Si Ye Hui agent Jiang Li...】
Seeing the incomplete title of the email, Lu Yibei’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
“Hoo—!”
She took a deep breath, cald herself, and clicked to open the email. Upon seeing the words “Eclipse Society” in the email, her face darkened, and her hands instinctively tightened until her knuckles turned slightly white.
Those bastards, after all this ti, why won't they let her go?
And the Shancheng Si Ye Hui...
Are they all just freeloaders? They couldn't even keep an eye on such a big person! Lu Yibei thought.
Her emotions, which had been indifferent for a long ti due to devouring Human Fireworks, seed to be reawakened at this mont, surging fiercely in her chest with a strong, pungent taste.
After pondering for a few seconds, she activated her vassal mark and sent a ssage to Zhang Yu.
“Zhang Yu, co see in half an hour!”
If Jiang Li’s disappearance involved the Eclipse Society, within Mountain City, Zhang Yu was probably the most likely person alive to know useful information.
Of course, Lin Kele might also know sothing, but with her current urban legend-like appearance, she would have to wait until nightfall to find an opportunity to see Lin Kele.
After sending the ssage to Zhang Yu, she scrolled to the bottom of the email and typed her reply: “Y, requesting independent investigation, hope for approval.”
————
On Zhang Yu’s first day of waking up, as his physical condition recovered, he successfully recalled, without anyone reminding him, where he had heard the na “Disaster.”
On the Night Watch red wanted list, in the Eclipse Society’s special individual watch list, during black market transactions, and in the most expensive intelligence entries of various intelligence dealers... she had a long list of misdeeds.
For a mont, Zhang Yu even felt that his terrifying third uncle beca as cute and obedient as an elentary school student in front of Disaster.
To this day, Disaster had not been besieged by the Night Watch, nor had she been captured by the Eclipse Society to be a test subject; it was truly a miracle.
However, as an important leader of the Eclipse Society in Mountain City, he was relatively well-inford and vaguely knew that Disaster had so unclear relationship with the Night Watch. And those relationships were probably the important reason why Disaster could avoid being besieged by the Night Watch.
And now, she not only adopted the guise of a trusted subordinate of the Eclipse Society Elder Council but also kidnapped a large number of Sunrise Biotechnology Company employees, which ant she was finally planning to extend her reach into the Eclipse Society...
Wasn't this just asking for trouble?!
She probably had no idea what kind of inhumane retaliation the Eclipse Society would inflict on people or urban legend who touched their interests.
After realizing this, Zhang Yu kept this secret to himself and wholeheartedly helped Disaster train those Sunrise Biotechnology Company employees.
Although he used to be a lackey of the Eclipse Society, he was now a vassal of Disaster. If Disaster really got herself killed, he wouldn't have a good outco either.
So, Zhang Yu worked intensely for 28 hours, constantly on edge, before finally eting Disaster herself.
And upon eting her, he discovered sothing even more shocking...
————
Lu Yibei arranged to et Zhang Yu in the office on the second floor of CHARMCLUB.
That's right, Zhang Yu's office.
However, Zhang Yu was not surprised by this act of usurpation. He had already signed a vassal contract with Disaster, and theoretically, Disaster had dominion over everything related to him. Simply occupying his private space was already considered very gentle.
In fact, in his imagination, Disaster might do sothing even more cruel and rude.
What truly shocked him was that when he passed through the dazzling golden light and arrived at the familiar office, he saw Disaster sitting behind the desk, accompanied by a familiar face.
“You seem surprised?” Noticing Zhang Yu’s slightly trembling eyes, Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, “Do I need to reintroduce her?”
“This Miss is Dorees Hatuoer, my most favored student.”
Zhang Yu, “...”
Of course, he knew that was Dorees.
But wasn't Dorees Mr. Feinikesi (Phoenix)’s most valued newcor recently?
Such a promising figure in the Eclipse Society’s future was actually Disaster’s star student, secretly planted within the Eclipse Society, and Mr. Feinikesi (Phoenix) hadn't even noticed...
Didn't this an that Mr. Feinikesi (Phoenix) was being manipulated by Disaster?
If Disaster could already plant spies around Mr. Feinikesi (Phoenix), it was hard to imagine how many people she had planted throughout the entire Eclipse Society. The thought was terrifying!
Zhang Yu felt the scent of a conspiracy, as if in a trance, he saw a vast web of intrigue quietly enveloping the Eclipse Society, waiting for the right mont to ensnare the big fish that was the Eclipse Society.
At that mont, he felt a pressure from that small, delicate body that was no less, and perhaps even stronger, than that of Adelaide Phoenix.
For such a terrifying woman, taking him as a vassal was indeed more likely to be an incidental act than a calculated move.
However...
If she really forces to do sothing that goes against my principles and beliefs, five years from now, I still won't let her go! Zhang Yu thought fiercely, clenching his sweat-soaked hands.
In the face of a huge disparity, so people might beco timid and lose their fighting spirit, but he was the type whose fighting spirit grew stronger the stronger the enemy.
“What happens in the future is for the future...” As if sensing Zhang Yu’s thoughts, Lu Yibei spoke, “I called you here today because I have so questions for you.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yu composed himself and respectfully said, “Please speak.”
Staring intently at Zhang Yu, Lu Yibei sat up straight, took several newly printed photos from Dorees, and pushed them across the desk to Zhang Yu.
“Take a look, do you recognize the person in the photos?”
Zhang Yu leaned forward, picked up the photos, and saw a man with sallow skin, sowhat exotic features, thick eyebrows divided into several sections, and a strange, flower-petal-like black mole on his brow.
He had seen this man months ago when he led his subordinates to seize the source spirits Zhang Shuisheng was preparing to transport into the city under the cover of night...
