Chapter 30: The Proper Way to Worship Jumeng [4K]
“Stinky sister, welcome to my God Realm!”
Jumeng squinted her eyes and examined Luxianbei.
She noticed his raised eyebrows and slightly lifted chin; even without any expression on his face, she could feel his pride. “Look at your smug face!” Jumeng rolled her eyes and complained, “It’s not something impressive; it doesn’t show off anything to me!”
In fact, if Jumeng wanted to construct a God Realm, it wouldn’t be difficult.
Even the Great Serpent God, when on the brink of d*ath, could use the endless mountains as material to create a God Realm to imprison the ancestors of those villagers.
Jumeng’s era wasn’t much later than the Great Serpent God’s, and after undergoing a “rebirth,” she could be considered a complete, first-generation urban legend and the king of urban legends ruling over an 800-mile Peach Source with a massive following.
If she were willing to pay a price, she could even transform the entire 800-mile Peach Source into her God Realm.
Luxianbei’s display of the God Realm in front of Jumeng was like showing off a barely passing gear set in front of a fully equipped high-level player.
Moreover, Jumeng’s spiritual perception easily discerned that this was merely a God Realm prototype, needing the essence of Huacheng’s ground veins to stabilize.
The equipment wasn’t even upgraded to +0; it was completely unimpressive!
Seeing Jumeng’s unconcerned demeanor, Luxianbei, who was all set to impress, frowned and said, “No, an A Grade urban legend controlling a God Realm! Don’t you think that’s impressive?”
“Not at all!” Jumeng shrugged.
Compared to controlling a God Realm, she actually thought it was even more ridiculous that Luxianbei could take Wang Ying as a dependent. An A Grade urban legend controlling a God Realm was only extraordinary; some urban legends and spiritual ability users could accomplish that. For example, Gu Hanqian, who possessed the Bamboo Slips Illusion.
However, an A Grade urban legend taking a Cataclysm Grade urban legend as a dependent was quite abnormal.
“Brother!” Jumeng took a step forward and patted Luxianbei on the shoulder, speaking seriously, “I’m not saying you shouldn’t show off in front of other Cataclysm Grade beings next time; you’ll get laughed at.”
“Come on, where did you get this God Realm prototype from?”
“What do you mean where?” Luxianbei replied, “This is my—”
His sentence was interrupted as he noticed Jumeng’s sideways glance and the smile in her eyes, the corners of her mouth curving upwards. He swallowed the latter part, “My mom left it for me!” back into his stomach.
“Tell me, how did you get it?”
“I’m not telling.”
With the setup for mockery already in motion, only a fool would spill!
Luxianbei muttered to himself, suddenly recalling something, his eyes flickering with mischief. “By the way, Stinky Sister…”
“Hmm?”
“Since you know so much about God Realms, you must also know what happens when someone falls into an enemy’s God Realm, right?” Luxianbei said with a hint of gloom.
“Of course I know!” Jumeng raised her chin slightly, “It’s just that powers are suppressed, cognition… wait!”
She suddenly looked at Luxianbei, noticing his eyes which were clearly struggling to contain laughter, and her shoulders dropped a bit, her expression slightly pale.
“I warn you, don’t mess around! If you get me angry, just see if I won’t punch your God Realm to pieces! When that time comes, don’t come crying for compensation!”
It was true that she could break through Luxianbei’s God Realm, but she genuinely worried that he might cause trouble. After all, she was very clear about Luxianbei’s torturous quirks.
For example, he might use the characteristics of the God Realm to create the game she always wanted to play but never got to, letting her indulge only to be mindlessly killed by a boss repeatedly, after which, despite her efforts, she wouldn’t get the equipment she desired.
“Am I that kind of person?” Luxianbei scoffed, “Okay, shall we talk about serious matters?”
It had been a while since Lumeng saw Jumeng, and after joking and bantering with her, Luxianbei became serious and prepared to consult her about the fusion of the God Realm prototype and Ling Tai Purification.
Jumeng looked sideways at Luxianbei, “You have serious matters?”
Occasionally, yes.” Luxianbei shrugged, “Do you remember our engagement kn*fe?”
Jumeng’s expression darkened, “The engagement kn*fe! How can you still bring that up?”
“If it weren’t for your broken kn*fe stabbing me, I wouldn’t need to rush to change powers; I could have lasted another three to five years!”
“What’s the point of lasting three to five more years?” Luxianbei replied, “That kind of thing is like a pimple; the sooner you squeeze it, the better.”
Jumeng rolled her eyes, not in disagreement.
Luxianbei made a fair point; if powers began to decay, it was better to change them sooner. If dragged out too long, it might become “terminal,” and changing would be too late.
The best outcome might only be akin to Bayang, giving up his powers and dramatically losing strength.
But Jumeng was not Bayang, unlike him, she couldn’t abandon the citizens of the Peach Source and frolic in the human realm, sleeping with crocodiles. Therefore, she only had the path of changing powers left.
In fact, sometimes when she looked back, she was somewhat grateful for that kn*fe from Luxianbei; it helped her make a decision when she was hesitant.
While Jumeng was silent, Luxianbei continued, “I wanted to say, that kn*fe has been reforged and restored to its original wonders.”
“I’m planning to attach the God Realm prototype to it and fuse them. I want your advice and help in monitoring it; that’s okay, right?”
“Sounds nice!” Jumeng turned her head away, crossing her arms, looking at Luxianbei from the corner of her eye, “You want me to be a tool, right? Come on, beg me!”
“Please, Daddy!” Luxianbei blurted out.
This kind of thing is like how, in boys’ dorms over time, pairs would develop complex relationships of mutual fatherhood. His calling her “Daddy” was just a term; he didn’t mind.
“You’re really something; your bottom line is consistently low.”
“I can help you without problem, but I also don’t have experience attaching God Realms to spirit energy items. My advice could potentially lead you astray, you know?” Jumeng said earnestly to Luxianbei.
Constructing a God Realm was easy for her, but attaching a God Realm to spirit energy items and completing the fusion was an area that fell into her knowledge blind spot.
She had only heard that if one attempted the fusion themselves, it could work; even if the method was improper and went awry, they could rely on their robust strength to forcefully manage it, but Luxianbei clearly couldn’t.
“That’s not a problem; though you lack experience, I have! It’s not my experience, though,” Luxianbei responded. Jumeng paused for a moment, realizing, “You mean the snake’s experience?”
She was aware of the existence of the Bamboo Slips Illusion and almost got “poisoned” by Luxianbei using the Great Serpent God’s decayed divine bl**d. “That’s right!” Luxianbei gave Jumeng a thumbs up, saying, “Just as I thought, my good sister knows what I am thinking!”
“In the next few days, I plan to study the knowledge of the Great Serpent God attaching a God Realm to the Bamboo Slips; I want you to help me check if there’s any problem.”
With the knowledge of two Cataclysm grade urban legends who had lived for thousands of years as assurance, the success rate was not ten out of ten, but around nine out of ten. It was worth a try!
“Tsk!” Jumeng clicked her tongue, not agreeing to Luxianbei, “When nothing is going on, you call me Stinky Sister, but when you want something, I’m your good sister, right? I won’t accept it!”
“I’ll help you level up,” Luxianbei said.
After all, he had exceptional gaming talent, and had even received invitations for tryouts from professional teams. Helping Jumeng with fishing parties was as easy as breathing.
“No need, fishing parties are just fun!”
“I’ll treat you to Haidilao…”
You j*rk! After teasing, you still dare to bring it up? Jumeng shot Luxianbei a look, “I already got tired of it last time, don’t even mention amusement parks! I’m not interested in that anymore.”
“Help you redeem money…”
Jumeng opened her mouth, wanting to refuse again, but hearing Luxianbei’s next words, she forced back the words at the tip of her tongue.
“Once it’s done, I’ll invite the Miracle Saint to help you draw cards!” Luxianbei said. “Deal!”
As if scared that Luxianbei would back out, Jumeng readily agreed.
Having the Miracle Saint personally assist in drawing cards was a deadly temptation for a deity who “uses money to defy misfortune.” Who knows, maybe certain rare hidden characters that even the wealthy can’t draw might just show up!
In fact, Jumeng still underestimated how formidable the Miracle Saint was.
If it was Fang Ji personally intervening, it could even lead to problems with game data, and characters past their UP time could still be drawn.
After a moment, Jumeng added, “However, aside from having me draw cards with money, leveling up, Haidilao, and the amusement park—all must be included! Plus, three game cartridges on top of that!”
Luxianbei said, “Do you see this? This is the proper way to worship the Jumeng deity!
Those who go to the Peach Source to seek destiny, if they placed game cartridges, electronics, amusement park tickets, and point exchange codes on the offering table every time, Jumeng would probably be far more effective than now.
“It’s possible, but,” he shrewdly glanced around, “since you’ve added so many conditions, can I add a little condition as well? Not too much, right?”
“Go ahead, let me hear it?” Jumeng asked, eyes wide open in alert. She knew Luxianbei well.
Although Luxianbei’s intended conditions wouldn’t go overboard, if she didn’t ask ahead and just agreed outright, the terms Luxianbei might later propose would be exceedingly outrageous.
Even a Cataclysm grade urban legend would feel tortured by it.
“How could I impose an unreasonable condition on my good sister?” Luxianbei flattered her, “As the deity of fate, can’t you see the threads of fate? I just want you to help me see who I have a fate with.”
“What?” Jumeng interrupted, “Planning to embark on an enormous harem after knowing you have entangling fates, huh? Have you asked that spitting-legged girl’s opinion? Be careful or you might lose your head!”
While speaking, she made a slashing motion with her hand, mimicking a kn*fe cutting off a head.
“How is that possible? I’m wholeheartedly devoted to the leader!” Luxianbei exclaimed, “I just want to know who has fate with me to avoid trouble.”
Heartfelt, huh? Jumeng’s gaze dimmed slightly.
Noticing the subtle change in Jumeng’s expression, Luxianbei inexplicably felt a tightness in his chest, realizing he might have misspoken. He hurriedly added, “Of course, I’m also wholeheartedly devoted to you, my good sister!”
“…” Jumeng looked at Luxianbei, momentarily stunned before fidgeting her nose, “I’ll reluctantly help you check then!”
Jumeng knew Luxianbei was lying.
But sometimes, a woman not exposing a man’s lie doesn’t mean his skills are impressive and remain unfound; sometimes, it’s because she enjoys it. Jumeng loved Luxianbei’s lie.
“Shall we go? Want to take a tour of the school with me first?”
“Yeah, let’s go!”
“By the way, do you know what the smoke and fire of the human world is?”
“Hmm? I haven’t heard of it.”
“Oh…”
Luxianbei had intended to ask Jumeng about the smoke and fire of the human world and the Liao Zhai Tavern, but after hearing her response, he temporarily set those thoughts aside.
Huacheng University, Science and Liberal Arts Building, Classroom 402.
Huaxie Yu sat in the back corner of the classroom, staring intently at the blackboard, listening with great interest.
Isn’t this quite interesting?
She really didn’t understand why some young people didn’t cherish it! How could they even develop an aversion to studying? It was quite strange. If she had known, she would have chosen a front-row seat. Huaxie Yu thought.
“The things that can’t be obtained are always restless, while those who are favored act recklessly.” This is how many things in this world work.
People like Huaxie Yu, who understand the importance of knowledge but have no way to learn, really cherish every opportunity to learn. However, in the Fragrant Lady Cave area, learning opportunities don’t necessarily guarantee what they can learn is valuable.
How about checking out jade stone fakes and addictive drug production?
Lost in thought, Huaxie Yu suddenly thought of that man again, her pupils slightly trembling. The more she interacted with him, the more she discovered how frightening he was.
In fact, when she first entered this classroom, she didn’t dare to sit at the front at all; part of it was due to a sense of inferiority, but more so because she was worried that her impersonation of Yu Jianqiu would be discovered by the teacher and classmates.
Previously, she had also engaged in similar impersonation in the Fragrant Lady Cave, and the result was that she was found out. Someone almost chopped off her hand. However,
After completing one class, she realized her worries were unfounded.
The teacher and classmates in the class didn’t notice anything unusual at all.
Some girls who seemed to have a good relationship with Yu Jianqiu even came to ask her why she didn’t hang out longer after picking up her grandmother from the airport in the morning.
As if, in their minds, she was originally Yu Jianqiu.
She didn’t even know how that man managed to pull off the “impersonation” to this extent.
It felt as if the existence of a girl named Yu Jianqiu had been erased, and Huaxie Yu filled in the blank left after Yu Jianqiu was erased.
She even began to doubt that if this deal took too long to complete, she might genuinely think of herself as Yu Jianqiu, especially without those occasional guiding messages directing her for the next step.
Ding Ling Ling――!”
The class bell rang, pulling Huaxie Yu out of the dream of being “Yu Jianqiu.”
After declining several female classmates’ invitations to dinner, she pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and took a look at the daily schedule sent by her contact, frowning slightly.
It was time to launch the next round of fierce attacks! Huaxie Yu thought.
