Chapter 92: Day Out, Night Hunt
Actually, what I’m seeing now is just my delusion. Lan doesn’t exist… well, she truly doesn’t exist, but she’s not my delusion.
Because she’s even more excessive than I imagined. With my meager imagination, I absolutely can’t conceive of what Lan might do. Her depravity surpasses my acceptable limits, yet I have no way to escape.
In ancient times, Lan would undoubtedly be a horrifying existence capable of destroying several countries consecutively, a femme fatale who could charm every man in the world, like Daji. Speaking of which, Daji was also a fox.
And now, I alone am bearing such a difficult mission, worked to death…
But the result of such effort is: I haven’t found her.
Why!
Lan, you’re toxic! Every time it’s about you, something goes wrong!
…Oh dear~ What a shame~ It seems I’m no good, Juncheng. Because I still don’t have an existence, ‘any feeling’ can’t leave a trace, you see? Of course, this includes destiny-related connections. Even though you, Juncheng, can see me and touch me, no trace will be left.
Existing without leaving a trace. Destiny is also a rule within the world, and Lan, who is not acknowledged by the world, cannot truly establish a destinylink with me.
Indeed, from the scene, there were no traces at all. Unlike when Lan was holding me captive, I had to clean up the room afterward.
It’s convenient, I suppose, as there’s no need for cleanup. But this also means I’ve accomplished nothing. Only I expended physical strength and energy. What’s the point of this, damn it? To gain experience? Or to increase proficiency? Or perhaps to raise my scum points?
None of these are valuable…
I feel like I’ve been conned.
“In other words, no matter how many times you come, I won’t get pregnant~ Hoo hoo hoo, convenient, right~”
“You knew this would happen from the start, didn’t you!”
Lan said, buttoning her shirt and swinging her tender legs.
“Hoo hoo hoo, I’m so happy~ Darling~”
Wasting my energy…
What should I do now?
San Huo still… no…
I can only try from the other side. But the other side also has big problems.
“Hm? It’s not working?”

“Yeah, it’s completely useless.”
“As expected, it’s no use. After all, the Water Calamity is no longer acknowledged by this world; she’s an ‘outside’ existence. Destiny, in the end, is still a rule within this world, so a connection still can’t be established.”
Xiao An nodded repeatedly, looking at me as if she had just verified some mathematical problem. I rolled my eyes, lacking even the energy to get excited and complain.
“If you guessed it, you should have warned me earlier…”
“Well, I wasn’t 100% sure. And even if it usually wouldn’t work, with you, it might turn out differently. So, practice is indeed the sole standard for testing truth.”
“Special cases require special treatment… So, the result is that I didn’t trigger any special situation. You must be disappointed in me.”
“Alright, stop talking with that sour tone. I admit I expected a little too much from you, but as compensation, I also witnessed a scene so disgusting it could leave psychological trauma. So, let’s call it even.”
“Wait, wait… Xiao An, weren’t you playing a game with VR just now?! How did you see me?!”
“I am a god. Gods don’t just see with their eyes. And you have defiled a god’s eyes.”
“Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
So, Xiao An saw everything just now?! It’s incredibly shameful! More twisted than a Jojo pose!
What did I show Xiao An!
“Alright, stop wailing here, it’s disgusting. Since we can’t gather the Calamities for now, we’ll have to focus on the Woes. Besides, considering familiarity with abilities, it’s better to gather the Woes first. Even if you gather the Calamities, you won’t know what your Destined Ability is, and you won’t be able to use it in the end.”
That’s true. I’ve used Calamity from the Mouth many times and am quite proficient with it.
But what ability the Calamities would grant me is completely unknown. If it’s an ability with stringent activation conditions, it still won’t be usable to ensure my safety.
So, Xiao An and I reached the same conclusion: by conquering Lianbing and Li Nai, I can use Calamity from the Mouth again.
“But with Lianbing… I promised her I would re-establish our destinylink after her Maid’s term is over.”
“What time is it now? Who has time for those things? You’re in a race against time. The effect of the Wind Calamity on you hasn’t been lifted. ‘Events are still revolving around you.’ You don’t have any self-preservation abilities right now. Even if I stayed with you, I couldn’t guarantee your safety. If you just GG in the upcoming events, you won’t be able to keep any promises. And what about the future? The future can only be considered if the present is secured.”
“Alright…”
Xiao An’s points are very valid. I know what’s more important. I’m not someone who sticks rigidly to rules.
“Then act quickly. Don’t miss the opportune moment. Otherwise, if you run into new trouble or experience ‘tribulation’ while unable to use Destiny Power right now, things will become unmanageable. ‘Bitterness'”
“I know. I definitely don’t want things to get that bad. Then I’ll go find Li tomorrow…”
I thought I was fast enough, but I didn’t expect Xiao An to still shake her head, saying no.
“No, you’re going today. I said the sooner the better.”
“Eh? So urgent?”
“I have a premonition that if you drag your feet until tomorrow, something terrible will happen.”
Hearing this, I immediately shivered, knowing that things had become quite bad.
If only I felt things were bad, it could be dismissed as an illusion. But when even Xiao An says so, it’s very possible that ‘something is already happening.’
Especially Xiao An. When she was at her peak divine power, she could see the future directly. Moreover, she’s a wo… Women’s intuition is also very accurate.
From any perspective, Xiao An saying this must be because she saw an ominous sign.
So I immediately asked.
“Although I can’t use divine power now, and I can’t foresee the complete future like I could in my prime, my foundational abilities are still there. Plus, I’ve stored some energy recently, so I saw a fleeting glimpse of the future… and from that scene alone, it was very bad.”
“What did you see?”
Xiao An was silent for a moment, not answering my question directly, but instead saying,
“Anyway, hurry up and leave. I’ll go with you this time. You should call the other Woes. Is the Water Calamity here too? Tell her not to leave your side.”
“I understand. Lan, hurry up and get dressed. We… Huh? You’re already dressed.”
“Hoo hoo hoo, I already predicted this development~ No matter how you look at it, the sooner the harem is collected, the better.”
“Stop messing around, this isn’t a happy development at all. Like Xiao An, I also feel like things are going to get very bad. Hmm, the last time I felt this way was when I met Shab’s parents… that time, my SAN value dropped drastically, and I was just one step away from madness. Fortunately, I managed to hold onto the thread of reason and didn’t fall into madness.”
Xiao An quickly changed into more convenient overalls and then hopped behind me, wrapping her legs around my waist and hugging my neck. She clung to my back without me needing to support her little butt, just like that certain god of war and his old father.
“Alright, let’s go.”
“Okay, I’ll go call Lianbing first. Lianbing!”
I called out, but Lianbing didn’t come in saying, “Are you calling me?” After a while, there was still no response.
Strange… She’s usually here as soon as I call. Did Lianbing go to sleep?
But at this time, it’s not that late according to our schedule, so she shouldn’t be asleep.
I walked out of the room, puzzled, calling out a few more times as I went downstairs.
“Lianbing~ Lianbing? Where are you?”
No response after calling several times at home. Did Lianbing go out?
To go out at this specific time, I absolutely wouldn’t believe it was a coincidence.
“Ho~ It seems Little Bingbing has betrayed me… Hoo hoo hoo… Things are getting interesting.”
“What?! Betrayed you?!”
I was startled at first, then after a moment of thought, I became confused.
“Uh, even if you say, Lan… where could Lianbing betray me to? I don’t have any enemy forces now… Are you talking about Yang Shifan?”
No, impossible. Lianbing would absolutely not go to Yang Shifan. Given Lianbing’s personality, let alone siding with someone who betrayed her, I think she’s more likely to take down Yang Shifan’s forces herself.
“Hmm~ Logically, it’s impossible, but I have a feeling that if it were Little Bingbing, she would definitely betray me to achieve her goals?”
“Is it women’s intuition again…?”
“No, it’s also a half-resistance, half-acknowledgment prediction based on ‘if it were her, she would definitely do this, and if it were me, I would do the same.'”
“You truly are good friends… Forget it, I want to see where she can betray me to.”
It’s still her Maid’s term. How dare my maid go on strike privately! I’ll catch you and discipline you privately until you only remember my body.
Suddenly, I had a very perverse villainous thought… I guess I’m turning into a villain.
“Since Lianbing isn’t here, I’ll have to find Li Nai first. Before that, I’ll go call Xinran.”
I went to Xinran’s room, knocked, but got no response. I opened it directly… she wasn’t in the room.
Huh? Why isn’t Xinran in her room either?
What is this all about, are they conspiring to disappear?
Perhaps she went to Kelin’s room. It’s late at night, so it’s unlikely Xinran would go out. Moreover, we… well, that is, she should be in too much pain to walk around aimlessly.
“The more you say that, the more I’m curious…”
“Anyway, since you can’t gather the Three Calamities now, there’s no need to call the Wind Calamity. Moreover, the Wind Calamity has only just awakened and can’t properly control her abilities. It might even have a more adverse effect on you.”
“Then, alright…”
But I’m still very curious. What are Xinran and Kelin quietly doing in the room?
“Hoo hoo hoo, if you’re curious, I’ll show you the surveillance footage later. I guarantee it’s high-definition~ No blind spots, super clear, you can see wherever you want~”
“You even installed cameras in Kelin’s room…?”
“Of course~ Wherever you, Juncheng, might go, it’s all within my surveillance range.”
“Why do you think my sister’s room is a place you might go?”
“Hoo hoo hoo, why? Don’t you have a clue what’s in your heart?”
…Enough with the nonsense, let’s go. You be quiet too.
It’s already very late…
Li Nai might have already fallen asleep.
Before sunrise tomorrow, many things will happen.
And as I step out of the house, it signifies that everything has begun.
Tonight, in this city, what will happen?
What kind of future did Xiao An see… It gave me a peculiar premonition. At the place I’m about to go, there lies a new danger.
It seems that tonight, I have once again been targeted by danger…
However, no matter what, I will not simply surrender.
