Chapter 218: Looking for a Female Madman to k*ll Lu Liangting?
The Gatekeeper’s reaction was a bit quicker than Bai Yu expected. Within a few days, they had locked onto her, Zhao Mingyue, and Lu Liangting, launching a direct operation, only to clearly underestimate the strength they had on their side.
In a small tea house, second-floor private room.
“So the situation is that An Que most likely found another Evil God and is working closely with it?” Chen Yunshi actively poured a cup of hot tea for Bai Yu, who sat across the table.
At this point, she had entirely given up on occupying Zhao Mingyue’s body or attempting to woo Lu Liangting, even with them sitting on either side of her.
Instead, she wanted nothing more than to take down An Que.
Why was she thinking this?
She could only say that Qian Mu was a chatterbox, not too bright, looking like a total fool. So isn’t An Que just bullying an idiot?
And as for Chen Yunshi, isn’t it her duty as a teacher to stand up for the foolish?
These sentiments were precisely what she had expressed to Qian Mu; otherwise, that guy would endlessly mock her, saying something about being mouthy yet virtuous.
“Yeah, I can sense the Evil God’s aura,” Bai Yu stated with a calm voice. “Strength is currently unknown.”
“Is this guy capable of controlling the Evil God?” Chen Yunshi stared into her still tea, though her heart was anything but calm; she wished she could rush over and finish that guy off right now.
“Uncertain. Whether it’s through control techniques or deceptive lies, they essentially boil down to the same thing,” Zhao Mingyue whispered. “Think about it, Teacher Chen. An Que has the Evil God at his disposal, and now he knows Qian Mu is out for vengeance, so he’s definitely going to unleash that Evil God to deal with us.”
“I know that.” Chen Yunshi’s face turned serious; she felt a pent-up frustration in her chest with no outlet.
To abandon Qian Mu, this fool, after just a little over a century and then find a new love? That dead monk really needed a reality check.
“Leave that Evil God to me and Qian Mu. If we can’t k*ll it, I…”
“You might as well hang yourself,” Qian Mu’s face peered out from behind Chen Yunshi.
“Hey, Bai Yu, don’t listen to her nonsense. I can handle this Evil God! But as for Yunshi, just leave her out of it. She’s been a bit off lately.”
Qian Mu’s appearance had sharpened considerably since returning from Eternal Life Village. The Godmother’s aura was becoming stronger and more solid each day; the only time it weakened was when they destroyed the embryos that day.
However, her half-dead, lethargic speech and tone remained unchanged.
Honestly, her method of speaking was oddly cute and quite brainwashing at the same time.
“You have no idea! This girl at home criticizes me every day, calling me a useless Godmother and a stupid pig Evil God. She even says that, despite being the second-ranked Evil God of Eternal Life Village, I act like a cowardly rabbit and tells me to get lost.”
“It’s all mockery directed at me! The worst part is that yesterday, she pointed at my nose and said that if it weren’t for being unable to separate from me, she would’ve tossed me in a trash bin ages ago.”
“She has such a vile attitude, yet the moment she hears you want to deal with An Que, she drops everything to come help me get revenge. Doesn’t that girl have a screw loose?”
“I suspect she used to have her head squeezed by a door.”
“Who criticizes someone and then turns around to help them get revenge?”
“Humph.” Chen Yunshi scoffed, her face nearly touching the ceiling. “Am I helping you get revenge? Why is your face so swollen with pride? Who even wants to bother with you? And you say I’m scolding you? Come on, say it yourself—shouldn’t you be labeled as a little useless one?”
“I’m just here to cause trouble for An Que! What’s wrong with wanting to k*ll that bald-headed idiot? I despise evil!”
“Meanwhile, you’re just being self-absorbed. Killing An Que is getting revenge for you, and Bai Yu wants to k*ll him too. Why don’t you say she’s out for your sake?”
“Look at you, losing your mind again. Bai Yu is after An Que for herself, and it has nothing to do with me. They just conveniently have the same target.” The black mist of Qian Mu formed a hand that yanked Chen Yunshi’s face harshly. “You’re all soft everywhere except that stubborn mouth.”
“Qian Mu!” Chen Yunshi stood up, fully ready to explode.
“What, you want to hit me? Let me tell you, domestic violence is against the law!”
“Does human law even apply to you? What are you acting all righteous for?”
“Bai Yu, look at her. She’s impossible.” Qian Mu dragged her long black mist face closer to Bai Yu. “But I forgive her; she’s just a tragedy. I mean, there’s a saying: ‘Better to deceive oneself than confront the truth.’ One of the cores of tragedy—doesn’t she look exactly like that right now?”
“I think I’ll just stick with you from now on. I don’t want this j*rk anymore, always causing scenes and driving me nuts.”
“Just a lowly seventh-ranker acting like a big shot. Last night she told me to wash her feet. Pfft, no way! She wears those black stockings and high heels every day; the smell could knock out a ghost! Doesn’t she know how to be a bit shy?”
“QIAN MU!” Chen Yunshi was about to blow a fuse. If it weren’t for Bai Yu, she would have already lunged at Qian Mu to teach her a lesson.
“You dare hit me? Come on, come on!”
The two were buzzing in each other’s ears, and Bai Yu was feeling a bit overwhelmed. She had no idea how these two had such energy to get along so well.
One was an Evil God who treated human lives like weeds, fitting the description of a cold, heartless villain, especially considering she was the second sister of Eternal Life Village.
The other was the seventh on the k*ll list, a former necromancer, and a person of few words but fierce action.
How could these two tough characters strike up this kind of vibe? No one would believe it if they told them.
But the reality was right in front of them; it wasn’t an act. They had always been like this.
“Alright, let’s get back to business.” Bai Yu sighed.
“Okay, Bai Yu said it herself! If you talk any more, Bai Yu will come over and skin you alive—believe it!” Qian Mu cheerfully returned to Chen Yunshi’s side, resting her black mist head directly on Chen Yunshi’s forehead.
Letting out a long breath, Chen Yunshi suppressed her anger and sat back down.
She never thought Qian Mu would bring up that drunken incident from last night.
“An Que must be gathering people right now. The Gatekeeper’s actions show that An Que has decent leadership skills; the speed at which this group of Gatekeepers gathers is impressive. Qian Mu, you and Chen Yunshi shouldn’t leave Pinghai City for now and don’t make an appearance. I’ll find a location for us and let you know once it’s all set.”
“The Evil God under An Que will be handled by me; everyone else will be on you.”
“And I have a job for you, Lu Liangting.”
Sitting at the table, drinking tea, when Bai Yu called his name, Lu Liangting quickly responded, “You say.”
“Your task is simple. Do you still have contact with those female madmen pursuing you?”
Hearing this, Lu Liangting nearly spat out his tea. “Cough, cough, cough! N-Not anymore! They send me all sorts of weird pictures, so I deleted them.”
“No worries, doesn’t affect anything.” Bai Yu squinted slightly. “You still have Shen Shuyun’s contact, right?”
“Her? Uhm… yes, I do.”
“Message her and say you’ve run into some trouble lately and can’t return to Tianchang City for now. The opponent’s strength is very strong. If you d*e, have her tell your family not to worry.”
“This…” Lu Liangting scratched his head. He didn’t want to have anything to do with those female madmen, nor did he want to owe them favors.
But this excuse seemed reasonable.
It was indeed dangerous, and the enemy was indeed strong.
“Alright then.” After a long internal struggle, realizing this message might lead Shen Shuyun to come, he thoughtfully added at the end of Bai Yu’s request, “Don’t come looking for me; it’s really dangerous here.”
Shen Shuyun wasn’t a fool; she wouldn’t go to these lengths for him, right? Who’d willingly walk into a tiger’s den?
What Lu Liangting didn’t realize was that Bai Yu wasn’t just focused on Shen Shuyun; she was interested in all the female madmen pursuing Lu Liangting.
This was a perfect opportunity—not only could they tap into the powers of this world, but it also was a great way to boost Lu Liangting’s likability.
She wasn’t worried about those women not coming; if Lu Liangting died, their mission would go straight down the drain.
In the tea house, Bai Yu had generally laid out all the tasks needed to be done, and by the end of their meeting, it was already evening.
As she was about to leave, Bai Yu asked Lu Liangting for Rose’s phone number.
The Gatekeeper, the Ghost Domain, and the game’s participants.
What she was up to was far more complicated than what Lu Liangting had to deal with.
She wanted to drag the Nightmare out and see if she could take her down directly.
Nightmare was a bona fide old trickster; unlike other tricksters, she was incredibly patient, waiting in hiding without showing herself or making a sound. Her enemies wouldn’t even suspect her presence.
Once she made a move, it would be a guaranteed k*ll, with at least a 90% success rate.
And that was what made her so troublesome.
You knew she existed, lurking in the shadows, always ready to strike, but you could never tell when she would actually make a move.
When it came to cunning, Bai Yu admits she wasn’t a match for her.
So she needed someone’s help, another old trickster for backup.
Mingyue’s phone had Rose’s contact, but that wasn’t reliable; it would be better to get the details through Lu Liangting.
Rose was nicknamed “The Smiling Face.”
In all honesty, her strength lay not just in cunning but in her stability.
A combination of cunning and steadiness, she was quite similar to Nightmare.
At this moment, An Que was also trying to win over this group of female madmen.
