“Seriously! One day, two days at most. How about we set off after two days?”
Shen Baiwei ignored Lu Yibei’s sudden request.
In her opinion, it was rely a cunning trick commonly used by Disaster to force others into compromise.
If she satisfied Disaster now, she would continue to find fault and make slightly more excessive demands.
If one stepped back, it would be a step-by-step retreat, gradually eroding others' bottom lines until the other party could no longer bear it and either compromised or directly transford into the shape of Disaster, allowing her to manipulate them.
Regardless of the process, the result was that Disaster achieved her sinister goal.
Since the outco was the sa, why be tornted by Disaster and make herself uncomfortable?
“Two days?” Lu Yibei secretly calculated, then nodded, “Hmm, two days it is! Though it’s a bit tight, it’s enough.”
“But I still want to see you, with pigtails... Hey, where are you going?”
Shen Baiwei, who had already stood up and walked to the door of the side room, stopped, turned around, and rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei, “I’m tired, I’m going to rest! You can’t expect soone who just experienced Spiritual Energy exhaustion to have the energy to ss around with you, can you?”
Her sche was exposed, and her perverse desire for tornt wasn’t satisfied, was it?
Sorry, Sister isn’t playing with you anymore! Shen Baiwei muttered to herself.
Is tying a pigtail really that exhausting? Lu Yibei muttered, and seeing Shen Baiwei really about to leave, she quickly chased after her.
“Wait, wait, one more thing!”
Chatterbox Girl’s ssage for Shen Baiwei hadn’t been delivered yet...`
Shen Baiwei stood at the door of the side room, impatiently rolling her eyes at Lu Yibei, “What else? Let tell you first! No matter what, I won’t help you draw any innocent succubus books!”
“It’s not about that...” Lu Yibei said indifferently, “If you don’t want to help , I won’t force you. If worst cos to worst, I’ll do it myself?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Baiwei’s mouth twitched.
You call that not forcing ?~
Thinking of Lu Yibei’s terrifying artistic “talent,” she suddenly felt a little inclined to help, otherwise, who knew what kind of ntal pollution Lu Yibei would create.
Just as Shen Baiwei was secretly complaining, she heard what Lu Yibei whispered in her ear, and she suddenly froze there, her pupils contracting sharply.\"
“Soone asked to tell you that the final Saint Plan is about to be completed, and you should return to Tethys Laboratory as soon as possible,” Lu Yibei said.
Shen Baiwei was stunned for a long while, then ca back to her senses, grabbing Lu Yibei’s shoulders tightly with both hands, and said seriously, “Who told you? Is this information reliable?”~
“It’s reliable, but...” Lu Yibei raised an eyebrow at her, “If you want to know who told and whether the information is reliable, unless you help draw...”
“An innocent succubus book, right?” Shen Baiwei gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “I’ll draw it! I’ll help you draw it! I’m going to draw it now!”
It’s just drawing a book, isn’t it? Although doing such a thing might be sowhat disrespectful to her Spirit Mark authority, it involved the Saint Plan, which was a matter of great importance, so she couldn't worry about that much.
Disaster had also heard the information ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) from others and might not know what the Saint Plan ant, but as the strongest creation of the third phase of the Saint Plan and a laboratory personnel who participated in the early work of the fourth phase, she knew very well.
From a certain perspective, the Saint Plan was creating gods, manufacturing gods that could be completely controlled by the Elder Council!
When she was still in the Eclipse Society, the fourth phase of the plan had seven experintal subjects. If the information that the final Saint Plan was about to succeed was accurate, it likely ant the fourth phase was successful.
She wondered how many of the seven would remain? Shen Baiwei thought.
“No need to rush, no need to rush.” Lu Yibei waved her hand, expressionlessly saying, “Isn’t there still two days? If you’re tired, go rest first. When you’re well-rested, I’ll co find you, and we can discuss how to draw it.”
Since it was a book to whitewash Lilim, the main content naturally had to be decided by her!
What if she completely handed it over to Shen Baiwei and Shen Baiwei ssed it up?
Instead of whitewashing, the image might be distorted in another direction, and Lilim’s consciousness within the witchs egg might go berserk again. Lu Yibei thought.
“...” Shen Baiwei pondered for a mont, then nodded, “Okay, it’s settled then.”
She paused, then added, “If the information is true, the situation might beco very grim and terrifying. You’d best use your connections to inform the Night Watch about this as soon as possible.”
“Understood.” Lu Yibei nodded.
Involving the Eclipse Society Elder Council, I would definitely report them even without your reminder!
What good plan could those old geezers have?
Speaking of which, that fellow Suo E seed to be the first creation of the Saint Plan, and Ti Princess also seed to have a close connection... What exactly is this Saint Plan for?
Lu Yibei thought, secretly taking this matter to heart.
————
After seeing Shen Baiwei off, Lu Yibei stayed in the side room for a mont, then left Daimu Courtyard and headed to the Longxiang Army Camp.
When she traversed half the city pass and entered the Longxiang Army Camp, finding Dragon Tang, Dragon Tang, who had experienced a secondary wound rupture and extre social embarrassnt, was already lying half-dead on the bed, barely breathing, looking as if he was ready for the whole city to attend his funeral.
Upon seeing Lu Yibei arrive, the originally dying Dragon Tang, sohow found strength, moved suddenly as if resurrected, grabbed the quilt to cover his face, and then stamred out an order for Lu Yibei to leave.
“Shen, Shen Guniang, why are you here? I, I’m not feeling well right now. You’d better visit another day!”
Only half a day had passed since the city's turmoil. Those young Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers who had always been on good terms with Dragon Tang had already visited him after clearing the city's corpses, comforting the citizens, and maintaining order.
And when they visited Dragon Tang, they would always do two things: first, praise his heroic deeds in the marketplace, and second, subtly mock him for almost crying in the training ground out of desperation.
This was how the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers interacted outside of battle, like close mischievous friends in a dormitory, they would sincerely congratulate you on your achievents and also unreservedly mock your embarrassing monts.
After multiple consecutive tis, Dragon Tang thought he had beco numb, but when “Shen Guniang” appeared before him, he realized he still couldn't let go.
Having personally witnessed “Shen Guniang” fighting a thousand on the battlefield, and having heard from Soldier Chen Long about the miracles “Shen Guniang” created, he had, unknowingly, developed a special feeling for “Shen Guniang.”
That feeling wasn't love, but rather similar to the yearning he had as a child for the neighbor's older Sister, who was outstanding in appearance, excellent in academics, and seed omnipotent.
Mockery from such an older Sister often had an exceptional effect.
Moreover, “Shen Guniang’s” mouth was much sharper than those Long Xiang Army comrades...
However, before he could overco the surging sha within him, after only hearing “Shen Guniang’s” first sentence, Dragon Tang froze there.
“Dragon Tang, I’m leaving. Before I go, I want to ask you for a favor.”
“Huh?” Dragon Tang suddenly dropped the quilt, staring at Lu Yibei with wide eyes, and asked in surprise, “Leaving? Going where?”
“Ho!” Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, “My Sister and I don’t belong here in the first place, and it’s impossible for us to stay here long.”
She paused, then added by way of explanation, “You can think of us as envoys sent by miracle to assist your brother and Holy Monk Hongbian in saving Yun Pass. When the ti cos, we will leave no matter what.”
“Now, the crisis at Yun Pass has been resolved, so the ti for us to leave has also arrived.”
“......”
The information revealed in Lu Yibei’s words made it difficult for Dragon Tang to digest for a while.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Lu Yibei’s words.
Since childhood, he had heard many urban legend similar to “when chaos is about to arise, divine beings descend from heaven, heroes erge, and bring order to the turmoil,” and he deeply believed them.
It was just that before this, he had never imagined that the two Shen Guniang were the “divine beings” of legend.
He stood with his mouth open, staring at Lu Yibei for a long while, before finally saying blankly, “Then, when will you leave?”
“No later than two days from now.”
The specific ti would depend on when Ti Princess’s innocent succubus book could be finished.
“Two days? Two days is fine...” Hearing her words, Dragon Tang showed a look of relief, “Two days is enough ti for everyone to prepare for your farewell.”
“No!” Lu Yibei shook her head, “Don’t tell everyone we’re leaving. I’m afraid I won’t want to leave then, and that would bring a terrible Disaster to Yun Pass, understand?”
Warm reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may result in the loss of your reading record. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" in ti (screenshots are recomnded). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
She herself didn't believe this explanation, but it was more than enough to fool a simpleton like Dragon Tang.
"..." Dragon Tang was silent for a mont, his eyebrows lowered, and he asked in a low voice, "Will you still co back?"
His original intention was to ask if Lu Yibei would still return, bringing a second salvation to Divine Kingdom Jade Gate.
Earlier, he had already read the family letter his Elder Brother had left for him.
In that family letter, Dragon Xiang spoke so words that others would consider treasonous, and from his perspective, he analyzed Great Tang's internal and external troubles. Finally, he clearly told Dragon Tang that Great Tang's reinforcents would not appear in Divine Kingdom Jade Gate for at least three to five years.
Originally, with Miss Shen, a figure comparable to his Elder Brother, Dragon Tang didn't have too many worries about the future of Divine Kingdom Jade Gate. But now that Miss Shen was also leaving, he suddenly felt uncertain.
"Yes!" Lu Yibei answered without hesitation, "I will co back... So, before that, you must protect Yun Pass well, or else when I return, watch out, I'll deal with you!"
She vaguely guessed Dragon Tang's thoughts, so she didn't deceive him on this matter.
Coming back a thousand years later is still coming back!
"No problem!" Dragon Tang endured his injuries, clenched his fists, and said with determined eyes, "Before Miss Shen returns, I will definitely protect Divine Kingdom Jade Gate and never let anyone destroy it!"
Since Miss Shen said so, she must be returning soon, Dragon Tang thought.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that," Lu Yibei said. "I'll give you a great treasure later, which might help you protect Divine Kingdom Jade Gate."
"A great treasure?" Dragon Tang was puzzled.
"It's a secret manual!" Lu Yibei raised an eyebrow slightly at Dragon Tang, lowering her voice a bit, and said, "A secret manual recording everything I've learned in my life. Perhaps it can help you in guarding Yun Pass."
Although my life has been less than twenty years, from a certain perspective, this secret manual indeed contains the wisdom of various genius Psychic over a thousand years in the future...
If it were bolstered by those improved Spells, Alchemy formulas, and Spirit Mark drawing thods from later generations, this guy's strength would definitely increase significantly.
If he added a little bit of the Disaster's "wisdom," he would be unstoppable! Lu Yibei thought.
Don't look at Dragon Tang's Spiritual Energy level as insignificant, and that he seed a bit powerless during the battle on the south wall of Yun Pass, and think he lacks talent.
Talent is sothing that depends on who you compare yourself to.
Compared to monsters like Dragon Xiang and Hong Bian, Dragon Tang is definitely not as good.
But in the Tang Dynasty, where Spiritual Energy acquisition thods were relatively crude, a C-level Psychic under the age of twenty, if placed a thousand years later, would at least be at the level of an excellent disciple of Da Chunyang Palace.
Rounding up, it's roughly 0.9 new rabbits!
It's already very good, enough to guard Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, which is no longer eroded by the Shaman King.
Coupled with Dragon Tang's performance in the market, which shows his character, Lu Yibei would be much more at ease with him maintaining the internal order of Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, which operates on its own.
A secret manual helpful for guarding Yun Pass? If soone else had said this to Dragon Tang, he would probably have scoffed, but if Big Shen said it, he naturally believed it deeply.
"Thank you, Miss Shen!" He was so emotional that he struggled to sit up, cupped his fists at Lu Yibei, and said, "Miss Shen's great kindness, Dragon Tang fears he cannot repay, only... only..."
A divine person imparting skills, this is a heaven-sent opportunity!
Perhaps he could beco a hero like his Elder Brother?
He stamred for a long ti, then turned and fumbled under his pillow for a while, pulling out a completely black token. He fiddled with it for a mont, split it in two, and then handed half of it to Lu Yibei.
"This is a token symbolizing the Long Xiang Army's military power, and also the iron certificate given to our Long family by the Saint. Now Dragon Tang gives half of it to Miss Shen, and hopes Miss Shen will accept it."
Being an ox or a horse in the next life is impractical, and Miss Shen would certainly not be interested in him offering himself. The only thing Dragon Tang could think of to repay Miss Shen's kindness in a short ti was this token.
Although Divine Kingdom Jade Gate is now closed and the Long Xiang Army is decimated, the symbolic aning of this token outweighs its practical significance, but this is already the most valuable thing he possesses.
Lu Yibei dazedly took the token Dragon Tang handed her and examined it briefly. After confirming that the token in her hand only had Chinese characters and was likely the other half of the Tuyuhun script token she found in the dilapidated small temple, her heart stirred slightly.
She had never found any information about the Yun Sand Sea lineage, not even from Chatterbox Girl, and she never expected a clue to just deliver itself to her door like this.
"..."
From the blood letter in the small temple, this token is probably related to the Spell of Divine Kingdom Jade Gate and the Ancestor's four Master's origins. It's just unknown what its use is...
Perhaps, the two tokens need to be combined to reveal their marvel? She needs to study it carefully later!
The only problem is... Lu Yibei thought, her peripheral vision quickly sweeping over the other half of the token in Dragon Tang's hand, and she frowned slightly.
Can this thing be taken back?
She wasn't entirely sure if she could bring the token back to Divine Kingdom Jade Gate a thousand years later.
She hadn't traveled here many tis due to Shen Baiwei's authority, so she hadn't had a chance to verify.
And from her limited "traveling" experience, she couldn't bring things from a thousand years later to a thousand years ago.
Only the Coat was an exception.
After all, the Coat was not an item but a urban legend, and it bore Lu Yibei's family mark, its authority closely related to her. From a certain perspective, it could already be considered her external organ.
As for why body organs would have independent consciousness...
Is that strange?
Doesn't Lu Yibei's mouth also have its own ideas?
----
Lu Yibei ultimately accepted Dragon Tang's grand gift.
It was his heartfelt intention; refusing would hurt him too much!
Regardless of whether it was useful or if she could take it back, she would accept it first.
What if there was a miracle?
Even if she really couldn't take it back, she could find a place later that ordinary people couldn't reach, find so calligraphy and paintings, Tang Sancai, etc., and package them with the token. If she couldn't take them when she traveled back, she could find the exact spot and dig them out together when she returned.
There's no loss either way!
Lu Yibei stayed in the Longxiang Army Camp for about an hour before getting up to bid farewell to Dragon Tang, preparing to return to Daimu Courtyard.
Before leaving, as if she suddenly rembered sothing, she abruptly stopped at the barracks door, turned to look at Dragon Tang, and said to him with genuine emotion, "Oh, by the way, Dragon Tang, for these last day or two, I hope you won't call Miss Shen anymore."
"We've t and beco friends, so you can just call by my na?"
"Uh? Shen, Shen Baiwei?" Dragon Tang tentatively whispered.
"No, that's my Sister's na." Lu Yibei shook her head. "My real na is Lilim... I'm sorry, I was forced by circumstances to deceive you back then."
"Ah?" Dragon Tang was stunned, and by the ti he ca to his senses, Lu Yibei's figure had already disappeared into the barracks.
At the sa ti, outside the barracks, Lu Yibei walked briskly towards Daimu Courtyard, secretly delighted as she thought of Dragon Tang's bewildered expression when she left.
"..."
That kid Dragon Tang probably won't be able to sort out his thoughts for a while.
By the ti he reacts and wants to know the details, Ti Princess and I will probably have returned.
Then, after so searching and investigation, he should be able to find the pure succubus book I prepared for him in advance, and then, in surprise and astonishnt, spread the book... Lu Yibei thought to herself.
For her, Dragon Tang was simply too easy to manipulate.
A "bad woman" with extraordinary abilities, unparalleled beauty, and a mysterious identity is like an addictive drug to a naive teenager like Dragon Tang. Even if no strange feelings arise, simply relying on strong curiosity can keep him thinking about her for a long ti.
This is much more reliable than directly giving him the book and telling him to promote it!
Perfect! Now, the preparations before leaving are just drawing the books and making the secret manual!
