After leaving the abandoned woodshed, Lu Yibei stood in the open space outside the woodshed, toying with the red apple that had a deep ring of teeth marks, her gaze gradually moved upwards, looking at the clear blue sky, and she murmured, “As expected, it’s not that simple!”
Could the punishnt Shen Baiwei ntioned be those ssy black lines?
Then why would Chatterbox Girl be punished?
Could it be that Chatterbox Girl also “transmigrated”? From what ti and what place?
After a slight thought, Lu Yibei shook her head, shaking off the thoughts that had appeared in her mind.
Previously, Chatterbox Girl was covered in countless ssy, dark lines, yet she acted as if nothing was wrong, and even instigated her to create a Calamity in the forr Yun Pass, which ans Chatterbox Girl wasn't afraid of the so-called “punishnt” at all, and even had a way to resolve it.
Since Chatterbox Girl wasn't afraid, what did she have to fear?
Although she hadn't asked Chatterbox Girl to level up for her in a long ti, and was sowhat resistant to Chatterbox Girl taking over her body, what kind of urban legend was Disaster? It was a urban legend that, when it got serious, even tricked itself!
In a situation where there was no other choice, letting Chatterbox Girl take over her body and accept the punishnt on her behalf wasn't out of the question!
Perhaps, when the punishnt descended, letting Chatterbox Girl take over her body could even exploit a “no such person” bug, just like when the world's malice descended in Dream Co True Entertainnt City, allowing everyone to have a bright future!
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei retracted her thoughts and looked at the four Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers guarding not far from the woodshed. She cupped her hands and said, “I'll leave that fellow inside to you four military sirs. Please keep a close eye on her; she's of great use to , and you absolutely must not let her escape.”
She had helped Dragon Tang and Xia Lianqing deal with the enemies who had infiltrated the city, earning considerable goodwill and respect in the hearts of these Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers. Upon hearing her words, the four Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers all showed friendly smiles.
The burly armored soldier leading them said, “Don't worry, Miss Shen, with us here, not even a mosquito will be able to escape from inside.”
Imdiately after, another armored soldier noticed the red apple in Lu Yibei's hand and asked in confusion, “Miss Shen, you... don't need to gag her [N O V E L I G H T] anymore?”
Lu Yibei looked down at the red apple in her hand, shrugged, and said, “No need, her mouth is very stubborn; she won't talk to anyone.”
She deliberately took the red apple with her.
By giving Shen Baiwei the freedom to speak, if she were to communicate with these Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers, she might be able to glean so useful information. If she remained silent, full of things to say but saying nothing, as she had been just now, it would be her own discomfort.
Lu Yibei knew all too well how uncomfortable it would be to have words in one's heart but no one to confide in.
“If she says anything, gentlen, ignore her. Just write down what she says and tell .”
“Rest assured, Miss Shen!” The leading Longxiang Army Armored Soldier cupped his hands and said, “Every word she says, us brothers will record exactly as it is.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei nodded to him, then rotated the red apple in her hand half a turn and took a bite from the side without teeth marks.
In an instant, sweet juice spread in her mouth.
After a brief mont of thought, Lu Yibei seed to suddenly rember sothing and said to the four Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers, “Oh, and if she wants to leave this woodshed, don’t stop her. Just follow her and make sure she doesn’t leave Daimu Courtyard.”
Didn't Shen Baiwei understand why she was willing to risk punishnt to do these things?
Actually, if she were to explain it, even a clear explanation would seem sowhat pale and powerless. Rather than that, it would be better to let Shen Baiwei see it for herself.
Anyway, all her abilities had been sealed, making her no different from a weak woman. She might not even be able to beat Aunt Zhang, who cooked in the kitchen... Lu Yibei thought.

After leaving the abandoned woodshed in the backyard of Daimu Courtyard and arriving on the third floor of Daimu Courtyard, where the courtesans and dancers resided, Lu Yibei quickly found Xia Lianqing.
Seeing her safe return, Xia Lianqing was both surprised and delighted, and her questions ca pouring out like a rapid-fire cannon.
“Miss Shen, you're finally back. I was just worrying if sothing had happened to you.”
“How are you? Are you injured? I heard all about last night from Dragon Tang...”
“......”
Facing the barrage of questions from Xia Lianqing, Lu Yibei felt a headache coming on.
She was here to ask Xia Lianqing questions, not to be questioned by Xia Lianqing. How could she let Xia Lianqing take the initiative?
She had to take action herself!
“Don’t rush, Miss Xia, let tell you in detail...” Lu Yibei waved her hand to interrupt Xia Lianqing, then she repeated what she had just told Dragon Tang not long ago, adding many “exciting” details and embellishnts to Xia Lianqing.
She was very good at telling stories. If anyone else wanted to ask, she could even add more details and tell it again.
“...That’s pretty much what happened.” Lu Yibei finished, not giving Xia Lianqing a chance to ask further questions, and changed the subject, “Speaking of which, I haven’t had a chance to ask you, what happened after I left last night? Is it convenient to tell now?”
“Convenient, of course, it’s convenient!” Xia Lianqing nodded.
----
On the other side, on the dilapidated and crumbling rooftop.
The red-haired girl, whose hair was like fire, gazed at the grayish-blue sky, and gradually her brows furrowed.
“That’s not right! What exactly does this guy want to do? Didn’t I tell her to create a Calamity? Why did she go to a brothel to chat with the young ladies?”
In her opinion, if she wanted to successfully create a Calamity, Lu Yibei should not be chatting idly with Xia Lianqing in Daimu Courtyard at this mont. Instead, she should be seizing the ti to observe and record the terrain around Yun Pass, find the most suitable place to trigger a Disaster, and then, after the Disaster occurs, find a way to make the people in Yun Pass connect the Disaster to herself.
But what Lu Yibei was doing now was like, on the way to the college entrance exam, seeing that there was still plenty of ti, she turned around and ducked into an internet cafe to start a ga.
“Tell , what is she thinking? Why isn’t she in a hurry?” Chatterbox Girl lowered her head and asked the unique little darling in her arms, “Could it be that she wants to understand the situation around Yun Pass through that woman, what’s-her-na Xia? But from the content of their conversation, it doesn’t seem like it!”
The little darling couldn't answer Chatterbox Girl's confusion, so she could only widen her dozen or so watery eyes and look at her innocently.
“Forget it, you fool, asking you is useless!” Chatterbox Girl rolled her eyes and looked up at the sky again.
Lu Yibei's actions gave her a faint bad premonition.
She felt that Lu Yibei had no intention of following her advice to create a Calamity...
Damn it! Why won't she listen to advice? Is she doubting ?
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revamped, which may cause loss of reading progress. Please save your “book shelf” and “reading record” in ti (screenshots are recomnded). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Doing this makes it very difficult for us, who are Chatterbox Girl, you know?
However, if she listened to everything I said, she wouldn’t be Lu Yibei, and she wouldn’t be able to change the outco of the Disaster, right? Chatterbox Girl thought, narrowing her eyes, a aningful smile appearing on her lips.

After Lu Yibei left the woodshed, Shen Baiwei lay on the straw-covered ground for a while before moving.
“When she left, she didn’t re-gag my mouth, nor did she re-reinforce the seal on the Spell rope? I didn’t expect you, Disaster, to be so careless sotis...”
After muttering a few words, she seed to think of sothing and suddenly closed her small mouth, her gaze drifting towards the small window of the woodshed.
She was a little worried about eavesdroppers.
Although she didn't care if Disaster knew she was speaking ill of her, she didn't want to be heard by those “people from the past” outside the woodshed.
Even a single word could potentially affect the “past.”
After sitting in place for a mont, Shen Baiwei carefully examined the Spell rope tied around her body.
From a certain perspective, Spell ropes are a form of solidified Spell, usually used for sealing. So higher-quality Spells can even trigger different solidified Spells through different binding thods.
The Spell rope Disaster left on her was of extrely high quality, but unfortunately, Disaster's binding technique was not even a little bit as good as those perverts in Tethys Laboratory, unable to fully utilize the effects of this Spell rope.
Shen Baiwei, relying on her countless escape experiences at Tethys Laboratory, quickly found a way to untie the Spell rope.
However, after untying the Spell rope, she suddenly realized that her situation seed a bit awkward—even if all the restraints on her body were undone, she still couldn't leave this dilapidated room filled with miscellaneous items.
Was this also within Disaster’s calculations? Shen Baiwei frowned, pacing back and forth in the woodshed for a while, making the dry grass rustle underfoot. Finally, she let out a long sigh of murky air and plopped back down on the ground, pulling out her small notebook from her embrace.
If I don’t go out, I don’t go out, I don’t even care!
I'll just stay here quietly and organize my materials.
But, before that...
Shen Baiwei thought, quickly flipping her small notebook to the page where “Disaster” was located.
She wanted to record all the cris Disaster had just committed against her.
----
Daimu Courtyard, third floor.
The tea that had just been brewed on the table no longer emitted fragrant white steam; it seed to have cooled down.
It took about half an hour for Lu Yibei to listen to Xia Lianqing recount the various events that had transpired after she left last night. She frowned, falling into thought.
Xia Lianqing told her that as the enemies who had infiltrated the city were rooted out, and the vanguard of the Shaman King's army encountered so conflicts, slowing down their advance, the situation quickly underwent a series of chain reactions favorable to Yun Pass and the Long Xiang Army.
First, apart from Yu the blacksmith, who had already been killed, the other righteous individuals had successfully left the city and made contact with Nangling Commander, sending sufficient supplies to the Long Xiang Army ambushed outside the city.
Secondly, by leveraging the enemies captured last night, Xia Lianqing followed the clues and uncovered more enemy informants, which, to a certain extent, disrupted the enemy's intelligence network. Now, transmitting information out of the city would be several tis more difficult than before.
Finally, because the Shaman King's vanguard, which was supposed to arrive near Yun Pass between 3 PM and 7 PM today, was delayed, the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers' deploynt, the evacuation of civilians, and the construction of temporary fortifications in the city were all successfully completed. They only awaited the opportune mont to be put into operation.
Everything seed fine. Coupled with the successful sealing of the Shaman King by the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, Lu Yibei even had a fleeting thought that she had successfully spared Yun Pass and the Half-Guitan within it from a thousand-year sealing fate.
It was as if she had experienced a ga where she did nothing, just casually ssed around, and then effortlessly won.
Absolutely no ga experience!
However, having no ga experience wasn't important. If it were truly that simple, she would be very happy to just lie flat.
The problem was, these changes had already occurred the last ti she ca here and offered advice to Xia Lianqing. Logically, if they were truly effective and could change the outco, she shouldn't have seen a city full of unford urban legend when the First Generation Miracle Saint awakened.
In other words, these changes had no effect on the outco of Yun Pass...
What went wrong? Was sothing crucial overlooked? Lu Yibei thought.
She felt as if she had completed a ga, achieved an ending, but having read a guide beforehand, she clearly knew that this was just a bad ending, a false ending achieved through incorrect procedures. There was still a true good ending and a wealth of plotlines that couldn't be unlocked without fulfilling certain conditions.
“Get out! You demon monk's lackeys, you're not welco here!”
Just as Lu Yibei was deep in thought, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the window. She got up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of the sound. She saw two Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers, disguised as brothel servants, blocking a young man in a moon-white robe at the door.
On that moon-white robe, the intricate golden embroidered flowers were particularly striking under the sunlight.
Wait! Isn't that the robe of the Miracle Order? How could this person... Lu Yibei was still wondering when a flash of inspiration, like an electric current, shot through her mind. She suddenly realized that she had overlooked the existence of Hong Bian Monk, who was also the First Generation Miracle Saint.
A living Miracle Saint was currently in Yun Pass; it was impossible for him not to cause trouble.
As Lu Yibei was thinking, Xia Lianqing ca to her side. Seeing the scene at the gate downstairs through the window, she frowned slightly and asked loudly, “What's going on? Why the commotion?”
“Miss Xia, this demon monk's lackey wants to enter!” a Longxiang Army Armored Soldier said.
“Enter?” Xia Lianqing tilted her head and asked, “What does he want to co in for?”
As soon as her voice fell, before the Longxiang Army Armored Soldier could explain, the young man in the moon-white robe clasped his hands together, bowed to Xia Lianqing, took out a folded docunt from his embrace, and explained, “The Holy Child heard that there is a Miss nad Shen Baiwei in Daimu Courtyard and wishes to invite her to the temple for a discussion. He specifically sent to deliver this invitation.”
After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yibei and smiled, nodding in greeting.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei clearly felt Xia Lianqing cast a strange look at her, like two electric currents, falling upon her, as if questioning why she would have contact with Hong Bian Monk.
Lu Yibei, “???”
What the heck? What's going on? Why is the First Generation Miracle Saint looking for Shen Baiwei?
Damn it, don't look at like I'm a traitor. Although I often am a traitor, this ti, I really am not!
Moreover, I'm not Shen Baiwei; the one locked in the woodshed is!
