Chapter 134: I Request You, Don’t k*ll Jiang Li
“Do you know Jiang Li?”
“No…”
Several unfamiliar names popped up in succession. When the girl mentioned Jiang Li, Luxianbei instinctively wanted to deny it but quickly came to her senses and, with a blank expression, looked at the girl and said, “Not very familiar.”
“That’s good, that’s good…” The girl nodded repeatedly upon hearing that Luxianbei wasn’t very familiar with Jiang Li, let out a long sigh of relief, appearing as if a great weight had been lifted from her heart.
Seeing this, Luxianbei furrowed her brow slightly and asked, “What’s wrong? Is she also a suitable candidate to become a spouse?”
“No!” The girl shook her head with a serious expression. “To be precise, she is the least suitable to become a spouse. I mentioned her just to warn you, be careful of Jiang Li!”
“However, fortunately, you don’t have much interaction with her yet, just find ways to avoid her in the future.”
Luxianbei, “……” Saying this now might be a bit late; I’m already hers in terms of working for the Siye Society.
“Uh, can I ask what the problem with her is?” Luxianbei asked weakly.
“I can’t really say much.” The girl pondered thoughtfully, “It’s a bit too early to tell you some things now, but if you ever get the chance to see Jiang Li without clothes, make sure to pay attention to her chest, lower abdomen, and back to see if she has any special marks or symbols.”
“Chest, lower abdomen, and back? Without clothes?” Luxianbei looked at the girl with a strange expression. “Friend, are you joking with me?”
How can I possibly see her without clothes!?
Should I sneak into the women’s bath? If Jiang Li saw me after I turned into an urban legend, wouldn’t she bleed all over the bathhouse?
Luxianbei was lost in thought when the girl suddenly showed a somewhat lewd smile. “That’s easy; you could think of some way to sleep with her!”
Luxianbei, “？？？”
How would that work? Storm into her office and shout, “Boss, I want to sleep with you”?
My method would at most lead me to d*ath; if I did what she said, I would probably be worse off than dead.
“Ha—!” The girl waved her hand and chuckled lightly, “Don’t mind it; I was just joking this time, don’t take it to heart.”
Luxianbei, “……” This joke isn’t funny at all!
“Also…”
“Wait a minute!”
The girl was just about to continue explaining to Luxianbei when Luxianbei suddenly remembered something and raised her hand to interrupt.
“You’ve asked me so many questions; I have a question to ask you.”
“Uh, go ahead.” The girl nodded slightly.
“Do you know of a strange bamboo slip filled with the unique writing of the ethnic minorities in the Southeast? Some urban legends would come out from inside, and… they could even s*ck people in!”
If the mysterious girl knew about the bamboo slips, perhaps I could ask her if Gu Qiqi still had a chance for rescue.
Since I have a chance to try, I can’t just ignore it, Luxianbei thought.
The girl frowned upon hearing this, “Bamboo slip… weird, a bamboo slip that can s*ck people in? I feel like I’ve heard something like that somewhere, let me think for a moment!”
The girl propped her chin in thought for a while before looking at Luxianbei. “I can’t recall right now; do you have more detailed information?”
“……” Luxianbei hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “Sure!”
Then she briefly described to the girl the content of the bamboo slip she learned from Jumeng and the illusion she saw when first encountering the bamboo slip.
After the girl listened, she pondered silently for a moment before her eyes brightened slightly. “I remember now! I know where I’ve heard of that bamboo slip!”
That kid Su Yiqian mentioned it to me once; the knowledge he possesses about those deities comes from an illusion produced by a bamboo slip.
She still hasn’t been able to control the power inside her. If she has that knowledge, she can speed up her mastery process and it would be easier to avoid making mistakes when she tries to fix her flaws.
Since she didn’t know Su Yiqian, it would be better for her to go get it herself. This way, it might be more reliable than sporadically exchanging information with Su Yiqian.
The girl thought, gripping Luxianbei’s shoulder and looking directly into her eyes, and earnestly said, “That’s a great place! You have to find a way to get in; there’s some very useful knowledge in there for you!”
“What is it?” Luxianbei asked in confusion.
“Aren’t you worried about misusing the power inside you and accidentally getting killed?” The girl smirked. “That knowledge can help you not get killed so easily! It will also let you know how to master your own power.”
At least for a long time, it should be the case. As for later… well, there will be other opportunities! The girl added in her mind.
Luxianbei nodded, “Sounds quite reliable. Do you know how to get in?”
Regardless of the miraculous knowledge the girl talked about or rescuing Gu Qiqi, she had to find a way to enter the Bamboo Slips Illusion, Luxianbei thought.
“Ah…” The girl was momentarily at a loss for words, secretly cursing that kid Su Yiqian who has so many secrets and is unwilling to share easily, always demanding compensation in return. He’s such a miser.
Why would I be willing to pay a high price for information like how to get into the bamboo slips, which is very important to him but irrelevant to me?!
The girl was secretly pondering how to come up with an excuse to mislead Luxianbei.
Luxianbei watched her frown and pursed her lips as if she were plotting something. She was about to expose her.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
A storm without a source descended.
In the sky, a layer of gloomy white mist spread out from who knows when. Under the veil of the mist, dark clouds churned violently due to the storm.
This was a phenomenon formed by the massive, chaotic spirit energy gathering, with countless chaotic spirit energies converging madly. Eventually, right above the rooftop of the tall building, a gap suddenly opened in the dome.
Beyond that gap, in an ungraspable distant place, faint light descended, enveloping the mysterious girl by her side.
In the next moment, it felt like something was awakened, and a grand whale song resonated from the ocean of gathered chaotic spirit energy.
In an instant, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, like an evil dragon, thrashing through the dark clouds, spreading destruction in all directions.
Along with the appearance of this anomaly, Luxianbei’s mind was suddenly filled with countless terrifying roars and maddening murmurs. Although she didn’t understand what those roars and murmurs were saying, she could clearly feel the emotions they wanted to convey.
They were furious, nothing but rage, a piercing, intense anger!
That fury, which struck deep into the soul, brought Luxianbei immense discomfort and a feeling of oppression, causing her legs to feel somewhat weak.
Upon exploration, she realized that the source of the rage was actually coming from beyond the sky.
What the heck is going on? What’s happening? What should I do?
Luxianbei looked at the mysterious girl, who was shrouded in a faint light and had a grave expression, and, suppressing her discomfort from the roars and murmurs in her mind, quietly asked her.
“Friend, looking at the situation, have you done something that has angered the heavens? Is the Almighty looking to strike you down with lightning?”
“Did you dig up someone’s ancestral grave? Lured underage girls? Or beat up centenarians?”
The girl glanced at Luxianbei and forced a smile. “I’ve done all of those things, and even more extreme ones. I’ve done things far worse than you can imagine.”
Let alone centenarians; I’ve even beaten an old man over five thousand three hundred years old, but I feel no guilt about it. The girl added in her heart.
Worse than I can imagine? Ugh—! That’s a bit much, isn’t it? Truly perverted! Luxianbei’s lips parted slightly, wanting to say something but holding back, finally unable to help but speak.
“People shouldn’t… at least they shouldn’t… never mind, you’re really a bad person!” Luxianbei said disdainfully, “Since that’s the case, please keep your distance; don’t involve me!”
After speaking, she took a step aside and quickly brought her hands together in the shape of a trumpet, shouting skyward, “Hey! Aim carefully; I’m really not that familiar with her!”
“Boom——!”
As soon as Luxianbei finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, as if a plow was turning the earth, the lightning swept across the tall building’s rooftop, leaving a scorching mark over ten meters long and two to three meters wide.
The end of that scorched mark was less than a hand’s breadth away from Luxianbei’s toes.
In an instant, a terrible stench filled the air, and small electric snakes darted around as she broke into a cold sweat.
Luxianbei, “……”
I didn’t do anything seriously wrong! Why is it striking me?! Is it trying to say, “First of all, my name is not Hey!”?
While Luxianbei was in a daze, she heard the girl’s voice.
“Luxianbei, it seems there isn’t enough time to explain more to you. In short, remember two things: the first, find a way to enter the Bamboo Slips Illusion to obtain those miraculous pieces of knowledge.”
“The second, keep your distance from Jiang Li. Even if you have to interact, at least don’t trust her too much!”
“Finally…”
The girl paused for a few seconds at this point, her eyes heavy with deep sadness, and her aura seemed to momentarily deflate.
“If Jiang Li really does something harmful to you, you must not… I request you, don’t k*ll Jiang Li.”
After speaking, she bent down to pick up the black cane that had lost its silver adornment at the tip, then, with a slight push of her toes on the ground, she shot up into the sky with a loud bang, heading toward the torn gap in the clouds.
In the next moment, it was as if a deep night had fallen before Luxianbei, plunging her into inescapable darkness.
……
Luxianbei woke up in a jolt, her eyes opened to find herself sitting in a taxi, astonished that everything that just happened felt like a bizarre dream during a brief nap in the car.
Then, she heard a familiar voice from the driver’s seat.
“Awake? So, where do you want to go?”
“Uncle Zhang Shan, when did I… uh, how am I in your car?” Luxianbei asked in surprise.
Zhang Shan, “……”
Here we go, here we go, starting to play innocent!
It’s been over an hour since she got in the car, and the meter nearly reached a hundred bucks. She wouldn’t be trying to skip out on the fare again, would she?
