A vast desert, a scorching sun, flying sand, two people riding one horse...
These elents combined made Lu Yibei inexplicably think of the famous scene where Fu Erkang and Xia Ziwei rode a horse together.
The crucial thing was, if that famous scene were to replay, her position should be Ziwei's.
To be honest, Lu Yibei was a little afraid that Nanling Yaohua would suddenly lean close to her ear and whisper, "I want to hold you like this and chase you to the ends of the earth," or "You can't be more full than , because I'm already full!"
At that point, how should she respond?
Should she say, "Miss Nanling, please have so self-respect!" or "If you're full, then I'll overflow!"?
Fortunately, Miss Nanling Yaohua seed to be well-versed in the art of feigned aloofness. After those sowhat ambiguous actions, she restrained herself and made no further moves.
"..."
However, she would inevitably cause trouble sooner or later.
Her sches were like an onion, layer after layer; how could she give up easily?
It's a good thing the horse we're riding is a stallion, otherwise, I'd definitely be hanging from its belly... Lu Yibei thought.
If she still couldn't detect Nanling Yaohua's abnormal behavior by now, she would be too slow-witted.
Nanling Yaohua must have known sothing, at least to the point of severe suspicion, which was why she kept setting up traps to test her.
However, what she couldn't understand was how Nanling Yaohua knew her identity.
Did her godmother tell her sothing?
If that were the case, then there wouldn't be anything to fear, right? Lu Yibei thought.
Girls who constantly threaten to gouge out the "heartless man's" heart to see its color, but then perform a series of bizarre actions when they have the chance to strike, are usually sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, with no intention to kill.
Strictly speaking, it's the sa as a coquettish (jiao chen) "You scoundrel!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei tilted her head slightly, stole a glance at Nanling Yaohua from the corner of her eye, and then silently sighed.
Although it's good news that she doesn't want my life, I'm afraid she's just like Slly Girl, coveting my body!
It seems I need to find an opportunity to act alone and stay far away from her! Lu Yibei thought.
To be honest, a Miss with cheeks like fresh lychees and a nose like goose fat, peerless through the ages, if she were to let loose and throw herself into soone's arms, let alone an inexperienced youth like her, any person would find it hard to resist.
If the allure of a Demoness Seed was blood, wine, an addictive poison that made one dizzy, then Nanling Yaohua's natural allure was like wind, rain, and crystal-clear morning dew. It seed harmless but was extrely easy to engrave deep into one's mory.

It was already noon when the two arrived near the blockade.
Under the scorching sun, hot air created layers of distorted heat waves on the Gobi Desert.
Standing atop a towering mound, one could see in the distance a stretch of undulating wall, resembling a ramd earth city wall, extending for several kiloters, forming an irregular arc.
The exterior of the "city wall" was the color of yellow earth, while the interior was sunken and empty, its color resembling recent burn marks, with large areas of scorched black.
It seed to be a city abandoned due to a Disaster.
Lu Yibei inexplicably felt a strange yet familiar sensation from the faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations lingering among the scorched earth, as if it wasn't just her imagination.
And then...
After staring at the "ruined city" for more than ten seconds, her vision suddenly blurred, followed by a familiar discomfort in her eyes.
Like an inflammation, they felt dry and itchy, hot tears welled up in her eye sockets, and a burning pain spread from deep within her Eyeball, from the inside out, as if they were about to catch fire at any mont.
Her head felt as if it had been struck by a stick, with intermittent throbbing pain and intense dizziness.
Her ears seed to be hallucinating, with buzzing static sounds like electric currents.
She was about to see sothing! What could it be? Was it the scene of that fake Disaster fighting four quasi-Calamity Strange Tales? Such a thought flashed through Lu Yibei's mind.
Although her eyes hadn't shown any abnormalities for a long ti as her strength continuously grew, no matter how much ti passed, she would never forget what an abnormality in her eyes ant.
There were usually only two situations: either a major boss was about to appear, or she was about to witness a special sight.
Given the current situation of this blockade, the latter was more likely.
"Miss Qingyi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Noticing Lu Yibei's abnormality, Nanling Yaohua asked softly.
Lu Yibei pressed a hand to her forehead, turned to look at Nanling Yaohua, and said expressionlessly, "I, I'm fine, just a little... dizzy..."
Her voice grew softer and softer, and as she finished the last word, she suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness wash over her. The Spiritual Energy in her body seed to be instantly drained, falling into stagnation. Her body softened, and she fell backward into Nanling Yaohua's arms.
Amidst the world spinning, the light in her vision gradually dimd. Ti seed to abruptly shift from noon to midnight. In large patches of shadow, sothing seed to surge. The vast sky above the Gobi Desert and the boundless yellow earth seed to be pulled and distorted by so force.
Although she felt no vibration, the ground in her vision was churning and rolling, raising waves of earth and clouds of dust, as if a colossal beast was twisting its body beneath the surface.
With each breath, like a shattered mirror, the earth fractured, revealing a pitch-black abyss. A faint, ethereal whale song emanated from the abyss, growing closer and clearer until it beca a deafening thunder.
And then.
A colossal black shadow suddenly leaped out of the abyss, soaring into the sky, and unfurled its body beneath a round moon glowing with an eerie blue light.

It seed to be a fish, a large fish shaped like an anglerfish, but unlike an anglerfish, its body was exceptionally slender, every curve exuding a demonic beauty. A tumor-like twisted luminous organ on its head pulsed with a strong crimson light, and its large, elongated fins spread out like wings.
In a daze, Lu Yibei raised her hand, pointing to the sky, and murmured, "Did you see it? What is that?"
Hearing this, Nanling Yaohua was startled. She looked in the direction Lu Yibei pointed but only saw the high-hanging scorching sun.
"Miss Qingyi, there's nothing there, are you..."
Nanling Yaohua said, then looked down at Lu Yibei. Her voice abruptly stopped when she saw that Lu Yibei had already lost consciousness.
————
The mont she lost consciousness, the image of that giant fish-shaped black shadow leaping into the sky and unfurling its body under the eerie moonlight froze before Lu Yibei's eyes.
Staring at that black shadow, an inexplicable and intense sense of guilt arose in her heart.
It was as if she had done sothing wrong, but she couldn't rember.
But she must have done sothing wrong.
Her chest felt like it was weighed down by a heavy stone, making it hard to breathe. From the cracks in the stone, tiny insects with sharp teeth continuously crawled out, gnawing at her heart, causing stinging pain and itching.
In a trance, sothing, like a thread, seed to pull her consciousness forward, drifting. The scene in her vision gradually blurred, then dissipated.
Then, just as the scene before her was about to completely vanish and her vision was about to plunge into darkness, she saw a back.
It was a girl, thin and small, as if a strong gust of wind could blow her away. A pair of thick, black pigtails hung down her back.
She stood on the edge of an abrupt cliff, below which dark blue seawater churned violently, raising monstrous muddy waves.
"Disaster, are we almost there? From now on, there will be no more Disasters in this world, right? Everyone can live peacefully as before!"
Vaguely, Lu Yibei heard the girl say this, her voice filled with intense ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) excitent.
"..."
Who are you, Miss? Do we know each other?
Why do you know my na?
What Disaster? I've never even heard of it. Everyone's lives are going great right now!
Lu Yibei opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing to the girl, but when she opened it, she uncontrollably spoke words completely different from what she was thinking.
"Yes, everything is over."
As she spoke to the girl, she slowly approached her, then silently drew the long blade from her waist.
The long blade had an ancient, unadorned design, with a slender blade resembling the *modao* used by Tang Dynasty infantry. Complex patterns were engraved on the equally slender bronze-colored hilt.
Although Lu Yibei had never seen this long blade before, the mont she saw it appear in her hand, she felt a familiar aura.
That aura was very similar to Lingtai Pure Karma, but subtly different in its details.
And the mont she saw that long blade appear in her hand, she suddenly realized that she was about to kill the girl in front of her.
But... why?
She had never seen that girl before.
She wasn't so perverted serial killer; why would she kill soone with no grudge?
It was utterly inexplicable!
With a muffled "thud!" a splash of warm blood splattered on her face. Lu Yibei froze for a mont, then looked down, her eyes gradually widening.
She was stunned to find that the long blade in her hand had, at so unknown point, pierced through the girl's body.
On the blade, brilliant and dazzling halos pulsed, causing the light and shadow around the blade to twist, and strands of chaotic black lines danced within the distorted light and shadow.
Lu Yibei seed to have seen this scene sowhere before; it felt very familiar, yet she couldn't recall it for a mont.
Then, she placed one hand on the girl's shoulder and gently pushed her continuously spasming body forward, leaving a crimson trail on the bright silver blade.
"Wh-why?" The girl's voice was filled with disbelief.
Even though she didn't turn around, Lu Yibei felt the intense confusion and resentnt in her words, like a surging tide, suffocating her.
"Sorry, didn't I just say? Everything is over." Lu Yibei uncontrollably said to the girl, then her hand on the girl's shoulder suddenly exerted force, pushing her off the cliff the mont the girl was about to turn to look at her.
Instantly, blood spurted along the direction the long blade was drawn, forming an arc.
The waves below, as if in coordination with the spurting blood, surged abruptly, and with a thunderous roar, swallowed the girl's figure, leaving Lu Yibei alone, holding the blood-stained long blade, staring blankly at the sea.
She killed a stranger...
What the hell is this ♦?
Why did Lingtai Pure Karma turn into a long blade?
Who was the girl who fell into the sea?
Why did this kind of thing cause her eyes to burn?
Thinking about those seemingly illogical and unrelated scenes, Lu Yibei began to doubt her life.
