Chapter 66: Private Tutor Lu Yi Bei [4K]
It wasn’t until Haze God took the bowl and chopsticks from Lu Yi Bei’s hand and sat down beside the copper hot pot that it suddenly came to its senses, realizing that something was amiss.
d*mn, why does it feel like it’s still being dominated by Calamity?
Looking down at the porcelain bowl in its hand, it inexplicably felt an urge to smash the bowl.
About thirty seconds ago, when Lu Yi Bei invited it to eat hot pot, its patience had reached its limit.
Although the ritual that posed a significant threat to it had been temporarily interrupted due to some unknown factors, as long as that ritual wasn’t completely destroyed, it couldn’t feel at ease.
However, at the moment it angrily turned around, a voice drifting from behind was like a b*llet, tearing through its body and hitting its heart directly—
“Are you really going to leave? To face your offspring alone? If I’m correct, you should have no chance against that guy right now, right?”
“This kind of action reminds me of a soft sci-fi short story I read as a child. It spoke of the future when food grew feet, and as long as you ordered takeout, the food would walk to your doorstep by itself.”
The statement about a father possibly being a mother, unable to manage the children, might carry a hint of sarcasm, but Lu Yi Bei spoke it without hesitation.
What was wrong with Haze God?
Controlling spirit energy items that absolutely suppress the powers of others, speaking so boldly!
Besides, her saying such things, aside from a little bit of daring, was also very thoughtful.
After receiving information from Lin Nian and the online old pervert, she had realized that relying solely on Haze God probably wouldn’t be enough to stop the birth of its offspring.
That wretched son of hers, ever since awakening self-awareness secretly over twenty years ago, had been accumulating strength in preparation to “rebel against the elegant father king.” Though it might have initially needed a long time to act, it was beaten in sequence by Qing Ji and Proxy Player Sister.
Then, Haze God’s offspring completely broke free from her control, accumulating enough power in just eight months.
Simply put, the old fellow had become useless and couldn’t contend against her child any longer.
The best evidence was Haze God secretly collaborating with its followers and the Solar Eclipse Society, and after descending to Shancheng, it hadn’t taken action.
To say Haze God couldn’t find the ritual site, Lu Yi Bei completely didn’t believe that.
With the nature of haze, even if the ritual site was hidden away in some unknown nook, as long as there was a breathable particle, a wisp of mist could drift there, and Haze God would instantly know.
The fact that it could find them but only poisoned those fanatics indirectly indicated it lacked the ability to win outright!
Lu Yi Bei even thought that Haze God surrounded Shancheng with toxic smog, realizing it couldn’t compete, simply decided to bind countless lives to itself and force the Siye Society to send high-level spiritual ability users to help it through the crisis.
After all, if she encountered a similar situation, it was highly likely she’d do the same.
“Amid the silence, Haze God slowly turned around, its gaze drifting towards the bubbling red soup before quietly sitting back down.
As it turned out, Calamity was just that magical; not only was its bottom line incredibly flexible, but it also always found ways to make others endure, breaking through their original limits.
Her assumption wasn’t entirely correct, but at least the general direction was right.
Seeing Haze God sit down, Lu Yi Bei focused her gaze on its lower body, which seemed to be wrapped in a sleeping bag, lingering for two seconds before suddenly asking, “Little Haze, don’t you think it’s a bit strange for you to be like this? If it were you, wouldn’t it be easy to condense a humanoid form or something else for your lower half?”
“Does it concern you? I like it! Are you going to talk or not?” Haze God growled, completely losing the gentlemanly demeanor it had when it first appeared.
“Uh, sorry, I lost control for a moment. You don’t know, my mouth and brain, and body are managed by three separate systems,” Lu Yi Bei explained while placing a piece of freshly cooked tripe into her bowl.
To express her apology, delivering the true king of Sichuan hot pot, tripe, personally into someone’s bowl was undeniably a sincere gesture for a person from Sichuan.
After expressing her apology, Lu Yi Bei almost instantly entered negotiation mode, her tone becoming serious, “Since we’re going to cooperate, I think it’s necessary to discuss my conditions first. No objections, right?”
Haze God shot a sidelong glance at Lu Yi Bei and nodded, “Reasonable.”
It was indeed very reasonable.
You can make any demands; whether I fulfill them after the matter is another story, Haze God thought.
“Then let’s begin.”
Before Lu Yi Bei finished her sentence, a sharp shout came from not far away, abruptly cutting off her words.
“Dog thing! What are you doing?!”
Following the sound, she saw a “strange woman” in a bright red dress robe, who had somehow appeared outside the barrier supported by the hand ring, her beautiful eyes mixed with anger and confusion, resembling a dramatic familial relationship.
She of course recognized that it was Jumeng, but the image of the shameless, lazy beautiful girl in her mind contrasted sharply with the dressed-up, imposing emperor-like girl before her, making it difficult for her to accept.
Haze God glanced at the expressionless Lu Yi Bei and then looked at Jumeng, who had her hands on her hips and her chest slightly heaving, silently put down the bowl and pulled out a white handkerchief from its pocket to cover its mouth.
Laughing to d*ath! Weren’t you just very arrogant?
Are you still in the mood to laugh? Lu Yi Bei rolled her eyes at Haze God and stepped between it and Jumeng.
“This is Jumeng, the master of the eight hundred miles of Peach Spring,” she pointed to Jumeng and introduced, immediately following up by gesturing to Haze God, “And this is Haze God, who’s about to be beaten up by its own offspring.”
Destroying smiles is what Calamity does best.
Haze God’s smile instantly froze on its face.
We’re all calamity-grade urban legends, wielding divine titles; how can the differences be so vast?
Jumeng narrowed her eyes to examine Haze God, then turned her gaze to Lu Yi Bei and said irritably, “So, what’s going on now?”
“Isn’t it obvious? The current situation is that I’m preparing to tutor its child, and it’s paying me in return. After we finish this hot pot, classes will start!” Lu Yi Bei said, sitting up straight with a bit of pride.
Teacher Calamity, JPG.
“Have you all come to an agreement?” Jumeng tilted her head slightly.
Lu Yi Bei believed in her statement; setting aside the barrier perfectly isolating the haze at this moment, just from Lu Yi Bei’s mouth, which resembled a high-speed rail network, she could convince Haze God.
“Not yet!” Lu Yi Bei explained, “It’s only been about ten minutes; it’s not that easy to come to an agreement. Just as I was about to start negotiating, good sister, you showed up, right?”
“You mean I showed up at the wrong time?” Jumeng questioned, glancing sideways.
“How could that be?” Lu Yi Bei said seriously, “Good sister, you came at just the right moment. The situation is urgent; I was planning to continue negotiating the cooperation details with little Haze on the way, and as someone with rich experience, your appearance now is perfectly timely to help me secure the deal.”
Ah, the subtle differences in treatment for good sisters appeared again.
Haze God,
The bottom line of an urban legend is slowly being devoured away bit by bit.
It swore today would absolutely be the most patient day since its creation.
“Moreover, the outfit you’re wearing is simply delightful; just looking at it has already calmed my emotions down. You must wear this outfit during your wedding in the future!” Lu Yi Bei continued.
Wedding? Why did she suddenly bring this up? Jumeng’s heart raced inexplicably, her already thin anger instantly dissipating, a hint of crimson rising on her cheeks. She then turned to look at Haze God, snorted threateningly, “Hmph! Given this, shouldn’t we get moving?”
Haze God, “?”
What does this have to do with me?
Moments later.
After sending the unconscious Dorethea back into the car and clearing the haze surrounding the vehicle, Lu Yi Bei and Jumeng set off again, heading toward the main urban area of Shancheng.
Haze God then rejoined the dense fog, tailing closely behind them.
Team member +1
As the two took to the skies again, the haze around them stirred, and Haze God conscientiously controlled the fog, creating a clean area for them.
The fog blanketing the main urban area couldn’t completely disperse; poisoning those fanatics and preventing their pilgrimage was crucial to destroying that ritual.
Of course, Lu Yi Bei didn’t put away her copper hot pot and hand ring due to Haze God’s gesture of goodwill.
What if that guy suddenly went berserk and harmed someone?
It was better to be cautious!
With everything ready, the next step was the important negotiation phase, but before the negotiation,
“Stinky sister, can we change positions?” Lu Yi Bei, who was being princess-caught by Jumeng, looked up at her and said, “This position feels so awkward.”
Jumeng carried her while she was holding the hot pot, which was simply too strange.
Lu Yi Bei mentally added that it felt like eating hot pot only to suddenly be captured by bandits to become an oppressed wife.
“Dog thing, so many problems!” Jumeng rolled her eyes, then grasped Lu Yi Bei’s ankle with one hand and forcefully tossed her onto her shoulder, like carrying a sack of rice.
Lu Yi Bei,
Now it felt more like being taken away to be an oppressed wife, and it was worse than before.
Earlier, she was a mountain bandit who wanted to talk about emotions; now, she was a pure mountain bandit drooling over her body.
Forget it, this way it would also be convenient for me to talk business with little Haze.
With that in mind, Lu Yi Bei softly called out to Haze God.
“Little Haze, little Haze? Come out and talk!”
As her words fell, a face with a mournful expression quietly manifested just half a meter away, amidst swirling fog.
“Then shall we continue from where we left off?”
Haze God,
Seeing it remained silent, Lu Yi Bei naturally assumed it was tacitly agreeing.
“First, after the event concludes, I will spread the word that the primary credit for this incident should go to Zhang Li of Huacheng Siye Society and Lu Yi Bei. Ah!”
As she spoke halfway, she felt a wicked little hand firmly squeeze her thigh root, causing both pain and itchiness. Lu Yi Bei couldn’t help but gasped coldly.
Glancing at Jumeng, she hurriedly added, “Of course, such a serious situation can’t be resolved solely by an A-grade agent and a B-grade agent. Their success is also inseparable from the kind assistance of the compassionate Jumeng deity behind the scenes.”
“At that time, you need to subtly coordinate with me, giving your followers a hint to make this news credible and reliable.”
Gaining fame from the Siye Society and profit from Haze God; who wouldn’t want both fame and fortune?
“Sure.” Haze God replied.
It was merely doing a favor; it wouldn’t incur any substantial loss.
“Second, regarding your offspring’s core of the urban legend, Stinky Sister, will that thing drop the core? It won’t only drop a placenta just because it hasn’t fully descended yet, right?” Lu Yi Bei asked.
A calamity-grade urban legend, even if still a reserve that hadn’t fully descended, its core of the urban legend possessed unimaginable spiritual energy.
Although Mrs. Wang Meili was exceptionally skilled in constructing the God Realm Prototype, making it unnecessary to siphon too much external spiritual energy, Lu Yi Bei was still very concerned about when the God Realm Prototype she controlled would advance to a complete God Realm.
However, if given a chance, it was always good to accumulate more spiritual energy; it’s better to be prepared!
Jumeng glanced at Lu Yi Bei with rolled eyes, “Does your family only give birth to one placenta?”
Just as Lu Yi Bei and Jumeng were exchanging banter, the previously quiet Haze God suddenly spoke, “Sure!”
Lu Yi Bei hadn’t finished stating its terms, but it had already discerned that Lu Yi Bei wanted the core of its wretched son’s urban legend.
To be honest, it didn’t care.
From a certain perspective, that thing was just a pathological tissue that needed to be surgically removed; while some people would preserve removed tissue, it had no such thoughts.
The core of that urban legend contained powers it wanted to avoid at all costs and to split away.
Seeing Haze God take the initiative, Lu Yi Bei nodded in satisfaction, temporarily abandoning some previously calculated, “disgraceful treaties.”
“Finally, I would like to ask you to clarify some of my doubts.”
Upon hearing this, Haze God suddenly became alert, solemnly stating, “I cannot tell you their names.”
“I didn’t even ask!” Lu Yi Bei pouted, “I just want to know why, many years ago, when you had the opportunity to give birth to offspring and easily erase it, you didn’t take action.”
In fact, from the beginning of investigating the incident of Haze God’s offspring with Jiang Li to the process of Haze God’s body descending into Shancheng, Lu Yi Bei discovered many incomprehensible aspects.
The most puzzling to her was that if Tan Qiuming was related to Haze God, it should have begun plotting to give birth to its offspring over twenty years ago, yet strangely, it had delayed for so long before acting.
It was as if someone had forbidden it to “give birth”!
Clearly, during the early part of the century, with more severe air pollution and its powers being stronger, and having not experienced being killed by Huo Qianli, nor beaten in sequence by Qing Ji and Proxy Player Sister, its powers were at a weak point, the last wave of brilliance.
To exaggerate a bit, it was like wanting to hit its child but instead of acting during its prime, it chose to wait until it was already confined to a sickbed when the child said to the doctor, “Pull it out!” before wakefully sitting up in panic.
Just now, as Haze God mentioned “them,” those who participated in the encirclement and annihilation of Mrs. Wang Meili, Lu Yi Bei had a faint feeling that there might be some connection between the two.
After all, while there are calamity-grade urban legends that could defeat Haze God, there were few who could influence its will, and all Lu Yi Bei could think of was “them.”
And those three entities that even calamity-grade urban legends feared, who were related to Mrs. Wang Meili’s d*ath, if she could learn some information in advance, that would be the best.
Mengdan Pigeon
Also known as “Mengzhen Pigeon.” A type of edible pigeon that is also a beautiful ornamental pigeon. Bred by the French from wild pigeon species in France and Italy, it has various different strains. Not good at flying, preferring to walk on the ground. They have a long shape and a broad back, with crow-tailed, flat-headed, feather-footed, and clean-footed variations. The male pigeon weighs about 850 grams, while the female weighs about 830 grams, and the young pigeons often weigh over 450 grams. However, their reproductive capabilities are lower than other edible pigeons.
This type of meat pigeon is not good at flying and enjoys walking instead, also known as the ground pigeon. In the last century or two, it has spread widely in Southern Europe and has interbred with local native pigeon species, forming noticeable geographic differences. In terms of appearance, there are crow-tailed, flat-headed, feather-footed, and clean-footed types; by origin, there are French Mengdan pigeons, Swiss Mengdan pigeons, Italian Mengdan pigeons, Indian Mengdan pigeons, American feather-crowned Mengdan pigeons, etc.
