**Chapter 276: Being Overly Clever!**
Luxianbei stood in the core of God Realm Yumen, pondering for a while, and realized that striking a deal with Lilith’s consciousness was truly difficult; it wasn’t something that could be accomplished quickly.
Just the thought of having Lilith’s consciousness encounter someone who believed she wasn’t an evil urban legend, or rather, to see the kind side of this world, was relatively easier. Perhaps an annual feature segment on the top ten figures in Z Country could resolve the issue.
However, trying to change the ingrained perceptions most people have about Lilith would be exponentially harder…
Unlike the pink fluffy rabbit that had contaminated tens of thousands, the number of people who had direct and indirect awareness of Lilith added up to at least hundreds of millions. To alter so many people’s perceptions, no urban legend could withstand that.
Altering the urban legend itself to resolve the issue at its source had a very limited scope of dissemination and could easily offend extreme spirit energy organizations.
Those extremists could handle even legends like Lilith and had undergone long-term development; they likely would not be much easier to deal with than the Solar Eclipse Society.
Creating and promoting an ACGN image based on Lilith was one method, but finding excellent creators wasn’t easy. Even with outstanding content, spreading it wider for more people to accept posed a significant operational cost challenge.
Even if all of the above were resolved, the ones who would ultimately change their perception of Lilith would mostly be young people…
To take a step back, why do certain individuals like Lilith’s image? Don’t they have any sense at all?
People like notorious internet perverts, if they discovered that in this world there were “succubi” that embodied the values of purity and naivety, they might become even more excited.
Since ancient times, searching for redemption for fallen beauties and witnessing the corruption of innocent girls have been equally entertaining.
To be honest, for a successor to Lilith’s powers, changing her from a beguiling succubus into the public’s beloved wife isn’t a good outcome at all.
Luxianbei thought of many ways but felt she didn’t have the energy to do so much.
Surely, one couldn’t rely on miracles?
Although now that she held the Miracle Flower, a miracle could indeed appear, she still couldn’t fully confirm whether Hong Bian trusted her with the Miracle Flower and God Realm Yumen without any hidden traps; thus, Luxianbei was reluctant to use that power indiscriminately.
Of course, the last and most crucial and dangerous point was that there existed a man who controlled the powers of the “majority.” That man’s authority likely wouldn’t allow him to sit idly by while the perceptions of over a hundred million people were altered on such a large scale.
With that man in existence, from a certain perspective, wanting to change most people’s perceptions of Lilith seemed like an impossible first step for Luxianbei.
“Ah—!” After contemplating for a moment and not coming up with a more feasible plan, Luxianbei sighed and stepped out toward the core of the God Realm.
Right now, she still had a pile of matters that remained unresolved!
Tasks like helping to clear Lilith’s name were ones that could be postponed indefinitely; since she couldn’t come up with a clue, it was fine to set it aside for later.
“If it really doesn’t work, when I’m strong enough, I’ll just force good deeds…”*
Before she could finish her sentence, something felt like it squeezed her heart painfully, causing Luxianbei to immediately shut her mouth and silently walk out.
A moment later…
After leaving the core of God Realm Yumen and sealing the bronze-inlaid wall again with several restrictive spell formulas, she exited the County Prince’s Mansion.
Standing at the entrance of the County Prince’s Mansion, she seemed to recall something and paused, turning back to look with a furrowed brow.
“Did I forget something? Why can’t I think of it? Hmm… Forget it, if I can’t recall it, then it must not be that important!”
Saying that, she stepped lightly and joyfully toward Dai Mu Institute.
With the matter at hand settling, it was also about time to discuss returning with Time Princess…
————
On the other side, atop the dilapidated rooftop.
The Proxy Player Sister peered through the projection in the sky and saw Luxianbei leaving the County Prince’s Mansion, heading directly back to Dai Mu Institute. She widened her eyes slightly and turned to the Pure Water King, who was nearby, asking in confusion.
“Wait! She just left like that? Doesn’t she feel like she forgot something important?”
Initially, the Proxy Player Sister thought that after all these events, Luxianbei must have many doubts that needed answers, with many challenges requiring assistance in making choices…
Of course, the one who could help Luxianbei solve problems and strategize would be none other than her!
So, after escaping, Luxianbei would most likely come looking for her right away.
To prepare for Luxianbei’s arrival, she even put in a lot of effort to clean up the “trash” that had descended on the rooftop.
Yet, Luxianbei just left like that, seemingly without any intent to call for her.
Although she felt happy seeing Luxianbei growing and gradually gaining independence, a feeling similar to that of a neglected mother quietly arose in her heart.
Ungrateful person…
Not happy, feeling a bit moody!
Next time I proxy play, I’ll just merge your account, believe it or not? The Proxy Player Sister thought wistfully.
At that moment, the sounds of Luxianbei conversing with Shen Baiwei echoed in her ears, pulling her back…
————
Inside Dai Mu Institute, in a room isolated by dozens of spell formulas.
Luxianbei and Shen Baiwei sat opposite each other at a round table.
“I don’t not want to go back right away, but I’m worried that using my powers might cause some problems…” Shen Baiwei said with a troubled expression.
“Mainly, my spirit patterns aren’t completely stabilized yet; if I’m not careful, the powers of the Snake of Time could take advantage of it, and we might end up sent to who knows what era!”
“I considered this before, but now you really don’t need to worry,” Luxianbei said with assurance, “Look at this!”
As she spoke, she activated spirit energy and formed a pulsating Miracle Flower in her hand.
“That guy Hong Bian entrusted me with the control of the Miracle Flower before completely disappearing. Once we finish this last bit of work here, I can transfer the control to you when we return!”
“This is a genuine Miracle Flower that hasn’t been contaminated at all, and you should understand its value, right? With the protection of the Miracle Flower, we’ll surely be able to safely return to the right time and place… As a former member of the Miracle Cult, you should understand this well, right?”
Shen Baiwei stared blankly at the brilliant Miracle Flower in Luxianbei’s hand, and after a moment of shock, she gradually regained her composure and stammered, “This… that guy actually…”
Not long ago, she had felt confusion due to the chaos erupting within Yumen City Gate, which, alongside intense spirit energy fluctuations, had abruptly stopped; now, looking at the Miracle Flower in Luxianbei’s hand, she began to understand everything.
Although Luxianbei had told her there was a way to seek help from Hong Bian, who had merged into God Realm Yumen, to stop Shaman Queen from corrupting the miracle, she hadn’t expected it to happen in this manner.
Running to someone else’s place, seeking help and conveniently stealing the property deed while changing it into her own name, right?
Truly a calamity!
She couldn’t help but wonder how Luxianbei had managed to persuade Hong Bian.
Shen Baiwei thought to herself, pursing her lips, “If we have the Miracle Flower to assist, going back safely is definitely no problem, but… are you really going to give me such a precious object? Will you really be that kind-hearted?”
“Uh…” Luxianbei turned her face away, avoiding Shen Baiwei’s doubtful gaze, lowering her voice slightly, “I’m just lending it to you, right? When everything is done, just remember to return it to me.”
“Aren’t you afraid I won’t return it?” Shen Baiwei tilted her head.
“Not afraid!” Luxianbei answered decisively, looking straight into Shen Baiwei’s eyes as she spoke, “We’ve gone through so much together, true life-and-d*ath friends; let alone you wanting the Miracle Flower, even if you asked me to climb a mountain of swords or cross a sea of fire, I wouldn’t refuse.”
Most of her words were genuine.
Except for the part about willingly giving the Miracle Flower to Shen Baiwei…
However, although she wasn’t entirely willing, for the sake of their successful return, even if Shen Baiwei did want to pocket the Miracle Flower, it would be unavoidable.
After all, there was only one Time Princess, and no alternatives.
So, from a certain perspective, it could be considered heartfelt.
Under the blazing gaze, listening to Luxianbei’s “heartfelt words,” Shen Baiwei felt her cheeks flush slightly. She turned her face away and stammered, “Okay, okay, I got it… We’ll try it your way.”
Seeing Shen Baiwei agree, Luxianbei quietly sighed in relief.
Plan succeeded!
Now there should be no concerns about Hong Bian sneakily setting pitfalls.
Luxianbei felt delighted and turned to Shen Baiwei, suddenly remembering something, her eyes brightening, “By the way, I remember you seemed to be good at painting? Could you help me with something?”
“I can, but…” Shen Baiwei frowned, on guard, “You have to tell me first what you want.”
Accepting the control of the Miracle Flower was a situation of necessity…
Agreeing carelessly to a calamity’s request without necessity wasn’t wise.
“Help me draw some comics themed around pure-hearted succubi, how about that?” Luxianbei said earnestly, “Before we leave, I want to prepare some gifts for everyone.”
Changing people’s perceptions of Lilith, starting from small steps, whether useful or not, just do it first!
Shen Baiwei, “???”
————
On the dilapidated rooftop.
Seeing Luxianbei successfully pass the Miracle Flower to Shen Baiwei, the Proxy Player Sister slapped her forehead with her hand.
“So that was the plan? First, let Shen Baiwei take the Miracle Flower, use it intensively, and once everything is settled, verify that there are no issues before confidently taking it back to use for herself, right?”
No way it wasn’t!
Did she not understand Luxianbei?
Luxianbei must have thought this way!
“But unfortunately…” the Proxy Player Sister said, revealing a profound smile, “The Miracle Flower’s bill accumulated over a thousand years isn’t going to arrive so quickly…”
By the time Luxianbei delightfully thought the control of God Realm Yumen and the Miracle Flower posed no issue and eagerly wanted to reclaim it from Shen Baiwei, she might not even see the feedback of historical changes crossed over thousands of years yet!
“Haha, overly clever!”
“When real problems arise, won’t she just come running for my help?”
The Proxy Player Sister said disdainfully, waving her hand, dispersing the projection in the sky and ceasing her observation of Luxianbei.
