At midnight, thin clouds veiled the moon, and Hua City beneath the sky was as quiet as if it had fallen asleep.
Suddenly, a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation surged up, soaring straight into the sky, rippling through the clouds, even tinting the moonlight with a hint of erald green.
All at once, countless dark corners throughout the city echoed with fearful whispers, and countless eyes, both overt and hidden, turned their attention towards Jingyi Apartnt.
...
Huacheng Institute of Technology, won's dormitory.
Lin Yiqi hid in the last stall of the restroom at the end of the corridor, holding the wailing Ghost Infant. Helpless, she could only cut her finger and use her own blood to appease it.
The unford purplish-red little mouth greedily sucked on her finger. Her slender fingertip imdiately withered at a visible speed, and the wrinkles spread upwards, covering her arm.
A piercing pain ca from her finger, but Lin Yiqi seed completely unconcerned. She gazed out the window for a long ti, murmuring softly.
"It's that Adult. Didn't she go to find the person who made the First Light Spring Wind Curse? How could she release such a strong Spiritual Energy fluctuation?"
Lin Yiqi was concerned about the girl's safety, but she didn't dare to investigate. An enemy that could make the girl feel tricky was not soone she could interfere with at all.
...
Under the Hua City Kua Jiang Bridge, in the third bridge hole.
The bonfire in front of the shack had gone out. Gu Qianqian wrapped herself in a blanket and was still choosing a small dress to wear to the school anniversary dance.
"System, what do you think of the quality of this dress? Can you help take a look?"
"..." The system glanced at the long dress Gu Qianqian had chosen and fell silent. That long dress, which looked cheap just from the photo, was priced at nineteen yuan ninety. It clearly wasn't a good thing.
"Gu Qianqian, I said, can you stop being so stingy? If you want to hook a rich guy, you have to spend so money, understand?"
"I know, I know!" Gu Qianqian nodded, "But, I was thinking, Cinderella's dress beca beautiful because magic was applied to it. I can't buy a good dress with this little money anyway, so I might as well buy the cheapest one and bring it back for you to enchant it for !"
System, "..."
I... I'll back you up, you big-chested monster!
Why should I help you do sothing that looks so stupid? Am I your slave? At the very least, we're in an equal relationship, right?
As the system thought, just as it was about to complain about Gu Qianqian, it suddenly sensed a Spiritual Energy fluctuation that made it feel dangerous. It couldn't help but let out a cold laugh in its heart.
It seed that the trajectory of fate was not so easy to change. Even if there was a small deviation, it would correct it in its own way.
Although it was a bit earlier than expected, that should be the Disaster and Jumang clashing.
Next, she should be chased for a long ti, right?
This period is the best ti for to develop! hehehe--!
"System? System?" Gu Qianqian's voice interrupted the system's thoughts.
"Hmm? Ah? What did you just say?"
"Really! What are you fantasizing about again? I'm asking you how this dress is. If it's okay, I'll place the order?" Gu Qianqian complained.
The system glanced at Gu Qianqian's hands and feet, was silent for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice, "Gu Qianqian, do you not have a brain, or do you not have eyes? This is a dress for a doll."
"I know! Am I not even as cute as a doll?"
System, "..."
This isn't about whether you're cute or not, the problem is whether you can fit into it.
Even if your head fits, your chest will make that dress burst on the spot, okay?
"Fine, as long as you're happy!"
At worst, when she buys it back, I'll reluctantly enchant it for her! the system thought. Who told I got stuck with such a poor host?
...
Peony Street, Lu Family Old House.
A girl in a white dress with long black hair draped over her shoulders leaned against the window sill of the attic. A long sword rested on her knees. While drinking the sheep milk wine she had brought with her before leaving, she gazed at the sky in the direction of University City, a playful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"The Spiritual Energy fluctuation intensity of this urban legend is pretty good. It's barely enough to give to Lu Yibei as a Spirit Mark, as a eting Gift, it's just a pity..."
"It's a pity it's wood attribute." The girl recalled the several Populus euphratica trees at the entrance of her cave dwelling that almost gave her a childhood trauma, and pouted, "I don't like wood attribute."
"Forget it, let's wait and see."
Being together is a lifelong matter. If you don't even like the type of Spirit Mark, problems will definitely arise over ti. the girl thought.
...
On the other side, in the office marked "Two" at the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration.
The room behind the door was decorated like an ancient hermit's thatched cottage. Bamboo mats were laid on the kang, and the display shelves against the walls were filled with various exquisite ceramic crafts.
In the center of the room, a gentle-looking man, wearing a waterproof apron, sat in front of a pottery wheel, carefully sculpting his work.
A mont later, there was a rapid knock on the door.
He frowned, turned off the wheel, and got up. While wiping his hands with a clean towel, he walked over and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, a panting Special Operations Team mber stumbled in, accidentally scattering the docunts in his arms all over the floor.
"Ah! Agent Two, I'm sorry, I thought you..."
Li Xuan glanced at the docunts on the floor, smiled at the flustered Special Operations Team mber, and said softly, "It's okay, we can clean it up later! Tell , what's the matter that made you so anxious?"
"Urgent, urgent alert, gulp, the reconnaissance team {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} just detected a suspected Calamity level Spiritual Energy fluctuation near University City, duration 2.31s, night erosion degree 12.6, Spiritual Energy fluctuation valley value B Level, peak value S Level, source individual quantity 1, Calamity reaction 23.33%..."
"Okay, I know, I'll send soone, no, I'll personally take people to take a look." Li Xuan said, taking off his waterproof apron and picking up the Coat hanging by the door.
"I'll go scout ahead first. You go notify Group One and Group Four, tell them to gather urgently. We'll et in University City later."
"Yes!"
The Special Operations Team mber responded and hurried towards the end of the corridor. Li Xuan walked towards the courtyard.
His steps were slow, leisurely like a post-dinner stroll.
"Calamity level, how troubleso! University City? Lu Yibei seems to live there. Could this matter be related to her? Why don't I go to her place and take a look first?"
Li Xuan muttered to himself, walking all the way to the courtyard. When he passed by that Gu Niang, he felt the gaze of a strange eye in the darkness, then he slightly frowned, quickened his pace, and disappeared into the courtyard with a few flashes of his figure.
Just as Jiang Li disliked Gu Xiliu's casualness, Li Xuan also disliked being secretly watched by Tang Tang.
