Chapter 16.61 Yu Hui and the Three-Way Split
“That woman played us all. It turns out her goal from the start wasn’t to cooperate with you, nor was it to seize body parts. She only wanted Lord Juncheng’s left hand.
Moreover, as long as she has that hand, she can continuously create large-scale incidents and do as she pleases.
If we were to make a ranking, the Head Maid should be first, but since she doesn’t participate in the game, Ji Lian takes the first place… It’s not strange for the creator of this world to have any authority.
Second place should be Senior Lanhua. The Water Calamity’s inherent abilities plus Lord Juncheng’s ‘Calamity from the Sky’…”
“Tsk, although ‘being robbed was expected,’ I didn’t anticipate things would become so troublesome.
Indeed, Senior Lanhua cannot be treated as an ordinary person. Her thoughts and actions are completely unpredictable. She should be classified as an uncertain factor.”
“Hm? You mean this was all part of your plan, Xiao Bai?”
“No, things didn’t go exactly as I predicted. But the decision I made after approaching you two was indeed to ‘temporarily keep Lord Juncheng’s left hand for you.'”
“You’re surprisingly rational? I thought you’d already become abnormal like me.”
“This is a conclusion reached after necessary contemplation.
Always maintain your thoughts, this is something important that Lord Juncheng taught me, and I must never forget it.
Although there are many things I want to do, and seeing Little Master Juncheng makes my head feel like it’s going to combust, I cannot let my thinking interrupt.
Recognize your objective and execute it strictly.
At times like this, one must remain emotionless to maintain maximum efficiency.”
“After all, it’s two against one. I had no intention of defeating you. Since An Xinran was mocking me, I simply played along with her words.
We alone cannot defeat Ji Lianbing. That person is in an ‘invincible’ state right now. So, just like in traditional RPGs, to defeat an invincible boss, you must first dispel their buffs.
What is Ji Lianbing’s buff? It’s absolute control over this world, which means the fragments of the world.
And even though they are just fragments, this world still possesses universal characteristics.
That is, people with strong Destiny Power can grasp more authority.
Right now, Ji Lianbing’s Destiny Power is overwhelmingly superior, but if we gather the Destiny Power of several people, we might be able to defeat Ji Lianbing.
But considering that we would also be mutually destroyed with her, I thought I’d find a ‘scapegoat’… However, it seems Senior Lanhua is not a competent puppet.
“But your anger seems real?”
“Of course, the anger is real.
The result is a situation of warlords contending.
But this also makes it more opportune than before, and the possibilities have become much higher…
Perhaps Senior Lanhua is thinking the same as me, wanting to create a monster that can contend with Ji Lianbing.
This is like raising ‘gu’ worms.”
“Ji Lianbing raised a ‘gu’ worm called ‘Qiye,’ which she eventually devoured and strengthened her power.
And now we are doing the same thing, raising a sufficiently powerful ‘gu’ to defeat Ji Lianbing. This requires more ‘nutrition.'”
Thinking of this point, just like me, it seems Senior Lanhua isn’t truly mad. Or rather, even if she is mad, she’s still thinking.
They say only foolish girls are cute, so we have already severed ties with the word ‘cute.’
“But Senior Lanhua’s actions still displease me. It’s really not enough to just defeat her once to vent my anger.”
“Heh, it’s perfect, I feel the same way. Killing her just like that is too easy for her. I want to tie her up and throw her into a pile of * seals.”
I shook my head, picked up Little Master Juncheng, and stood up.
“Brother, that playboy… Never mind. Throwing her into a pile of * seals is a bit excessive. Then let’s remove her limbs, block all the holes on her body except her eyes and nose, and let her suffocate while watching our sibling performance.”
“That’s quite a vicious taste.”
It’s so visual, perhaps you’ve wanted to do this for a long time.
“Hmph! She deserves it… An Xinran stood up indignantly, with her arms crossed, and walked towards me, sticking out her face rebelliously and extending her hand.
“You can join us too… Aren’t you coming?”
I smiled and took her hand.
“Please do bring me along.”
An Xinran… Xinran’s help is also unexpected, but it doesn’t seem bad now.
“In any case, let’s put on some clothes first. If other anomalies gather in this city, we can’t continue wearing such revealing outfits, and Little Master Juncheng seems hungry.
“Really, Brother’s shirt is all tattered…”
Since this building has a clothing store and a supermarket, clothes were found quickly.
But for some reason, in the end, we ended up wearing maid outfits.
Xinran said that Lord Juncheng likes maid outfits the most, so she thinks I should get used to wearing them from now on… In that case, it’s indeed necessary to wear them as daily attire.
There are also points to emphasize: suspender stockings are a must, various patterns and colors are necessary, as well as underwear. The first choice is lace, with considerations for transparency, as various transparencies are needed. There are also other patterns and how they match with suspender stockings, and even the smell of the stockings seems to need consideration. It’s a profound subject… Well, these are all Lord Juncheng’s preferences. Previously, I only focused on Lord Juncheng’s safety and didn’t consider these aspects. What a dereliction of duty.
Willing to tell me this information, is Xinran trying to bribe me? Or… No, I cannot mix personal feelings now, until the game.
She and I are just allies for now, nothing more.
Afterward, it’s time to cook for Little Master Juncheng. I’ll take care of this. Although Xinran also offered her help, considering Little Master Juncheng’s age, it’s better for me to do it.
When the children’s meal was served, Little Master Juncheng’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, rushing towards me and climbing onto my lap—Oh, then let me serve you your meal.
“Come, open your mouth, ah~”
“Ah~ Um!”
“Is it delicious?”
“Munch… Delicious!”
Looking at his happy smile, my heart felt like it was melting.
Ah, I was surely born for this moment…
My duty is to protect this smile!
Until the real Lord Juncheng appears and pats my head, praising me, ‘You did well, Yu Hui, I’ll love you dearly tonight’…. Ah, no, why am I smiling like Senior Lanhua.
I’m not a pervert like her.
“…Alright… Forget it. Then shall we go confront the blue fox immediately?”
“No, Senior Lanhua now has Lord Juncheng’s left hand, which can be considered ‘graduation equipment.’ We have already broken ties with her, so we cannot confront her now.”
“I know that without you telling me. I mean, we still have to get revenge on that fox, right? What’s the method, just say it.”
“It’s very simple. Rely on a third-party force.”
Xinran said as she cut a hamburger into three pieces with a fork.
“The host, Young Miss Ji’s faction, the faction that expanded the game’s scale with an unknown number of members and who knows what schemes…
Speaking of which, Xinran inserted the remaining piece of hamburger into her mouth.
“…The first one… which side are you referring to?”
“I haven’t decided yet, or rather, the third-party forces have not yet coalesced. The situation is still one of many rulers contending.”
For now, I only have a general idea, but if my guess is correct, they should have also entered this world.
“Then why do you say rely on…”
“Therefore, we need to make them coalesce and divide the world into three parts.”
“Who are you referring to?”
“Can’t you guess? Then let’s think about what ability is most important in this world.”
“Why are you suddenly saying this… You were caught at the first encounter because your mind was blank and you hadn’t thought of anything… You’ve thought about it since, and your performance now is completely different from before.”
Heh, acting all high and mighty.
Although I was displeased, Xinran still closed her eyes, rested her chin on her hand, and thought. As I fed Little Master Juncheng the last piece of hamburger, she opened her eyes and replied.
“The most important thing in this world is… healing ability, I think.”
Yes, it’s healing ability.
When Senior Lanhua publicly announced the rule ‘there is no death in this world’ earlier, it was largely to mislead everyone.
No death ≠ the body will recover.
Yes, even if you don’t die, the wounds won’t heal.
Then what about being dismembered? Vaporized? Smashed into a pulp?
It’s equivalent to being eliminated.
Those who acted recklessly because they thought they wouldn’t die have surely paid the price.
And those who are slightly smarter would have discovered this and started preparing the most important ‘recovery items.’
Just healing wounds is the lowest grade. Regenerating limbs and reconstructing the body is considered top-tier.
As long as you have recovery items or regeneration abilities, you can retry as many times as you fail. But without them, failing once means immediate elimination.
“Although I also know healing spells, they can only heal wounds. If a part of the body is missing, I cannot regenerate limbs.”
“Actually, I can do it, but it takes too long. And my healing spell consumes spiritual energy. If I consume too much, my combat power will be greatly reduced.”
“So, we still need recovery items?”
“That’s right. The most effective recovery item that comes to mind is… ‘Ghoul’s saliva.'”
“Kaoru Tsukiyose?”
“You know?”
“Yeah, I heard from Brother… Then I understood something. Brother is indeed a pervert…”
Seeing her gloomy expression, I nodded.
“That’s right. Lord Juncheng has a soft spot for small, petite girls.
I thought Xinran wouldn’t know her, but I didn’t expect her to know more than I anticipated.
“But we’re in no position to talk about Brother now.”
Looking at Little Master Juncheng, who had finished eating and curled up in my arms, sleeping sweetly, I truly felt from the bottom of my heart that it was good to be by Lord Juncheng’s side in this life.
Otherwise, how could I have the chance to witness such a desperate situation—record this scene in my mind, and remember it forever! I absolutely cannot…
Afterward, I’ll find a way to extract the memories from my head and make them into a savable video. At this point, I have to admire Senior Lanhua’s foresight… She always carries recording equipment, and it’s without blind spots.
That woman said not… she’s not a pervert, but a great pioneer?
Well, perhaps I had a prejudice against Senior Lanhua before. Stalking might also be for mutual benefit…
“No,” I said righteously, changing the subject. “Kaoru Tsukiyose is also the Witch of Famine. If we can win Kaoru Tsukiyose over, our combat attrition will be greatly alleviated.
Furthermore, Kaoru Tsukiyose is an extremely special ghoul who has lived for five hundred years. She is also the Witch of Famine, so the healing effect of her saliva has been enhanced by more than just a little.
Although applying saliva feels a bit disgusting… from another perspective, Lord Juncheng once had Kaoru Tsukiyose’s saliva in his mouth, and drank it. Lord Juncheng’s taste is also left in her mouth. This means that applying Kaoru Tsukiyose’s saliva is equivalent to applying Lord Juncheng’s saliva.
This is equivalent to Lord Juncheng licking our wounds…
Thinking of this… my body is getting hot.
Well, I must make her a companion. To experience the indirect… No, to ensure the necessary…
“I see. Although I can guess what you’re thinking from your expression… Heh, isn’t that good?”
Xinran said with a knowing smile.
“I haven’t experienced ‘that kind of thing’ yet, so I want to try it too… Although I’ve already tried the ‘reverse situation’ many times.”
The reverse situation?
Does she mean she actively licked Lord Juncheng… Tsk, being a sister like this is truly ‘competent.’
I haven’t even… If I were to restore Lord Juncheng, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for a few small, willful requests.
“Alright, stop daydreaming. If we fail, everything about Brother will be possessed by other women. And? You shouldn’t have only mentioned Kaoru Tsukiyose, right? From your expression, you haven’t finished speaking.
“Besides her, there is one other.”
Actually, only one person truly needs to be persuaded.
“Which one?”
“Even if she turns to ash, she can be resurrected… possessing immortal fire, the flame of regeneration, a god worshipped by people as the sun…”
As soon as the words fell, an incredibly dazzling light burst out in the sky, tearing apart the darkness and illuminating the entire land, warm and bright, like a sun.
Also, one of the Three Great Calamities, the Witch of the Fire Calamity, and a god represented as the sun.
Once called Amaterasu, now called Xiao An by Lord Juncheng, and doted on like a daughter…
An Yanling.
She is the core of the third-party force we need to build.
