Chapter 6.6 Lanhua and Tricks
Many days have passed since the deal with Qiye. Since there are things I can do, I naturally can’t be as carefree as before. For a better tomorrow, I must start working hard from now on! Of course, I’m not referring to that Opera, Dance, or Music, don’t get me wrong, I’m very serious!
Although it feels a bit of a pity to not enjoy this wonderful time fully, good things are meant to be savored slowly to be more enjoyable. Eating when you can’t hold back anymore will bring you to heaven.
Moreover, after a long time, when the chance to be in contact with Lingli comes, it will be like eating when you’re very hungry, which makes it incredibly delicious. Usually, just a ‘lick’ is enough to suppress your saliva. It’s just a shame it can’t be the other way around.
Speaking of which, Juncheng’s Destiny Mark seems to be on his tongue, I’m really envious! Being able to be licked legitimately, isn’t that an extremely exciting development? If it were me, I wouldn’t stop even if I found the mark. You women who still retain your modesty don’t understand happiness, you only waste good things. It’s here, where the calamity witch is. If that’s the case, the position of the mark should also be different.
I understand. But I’m not a Witch of Calamity, I’m a Disaster Witch. In that case, the situation wouldn’t be so complicated. They designed such a friendly system for the Master of Fate and the F, giving it ten thousand likes.
So, now let’s go and check the ‘results’. Overall, the harvest has been great these past few days. Although the ‘quantity’ of information has decreased by 99% compared to before, the ‘quality’ of the information has risen to the top. The information I collect is basically true, saving me the trouble of sifting and verifying. After all, it’s something I ‘personally’ experienced. My current state is the best for exploring secrets. I’ve even replaced a skill. Before, I had to use all sorts of methods, but now I just need to follow and wait patiently. It’s incredibly easy.
I’ll skip the process of collecting information, as it’s not an interesting topic anyway. What’s worth mentioning is that Juncheng finally noticed I was gone. Hmph! Really! It’s too late! You should have noticed from the beginning! But seeing how anxious you are, I’ll forgive you~
Also, I sent a message to Juncheng through Qiye: Collecting all nine Destiny Marks will grant a wish. This is true, it’s a memory ‘inherited’ from Zihua.
And then there are the fragments of the world, I now understand what they are. Now, I need to first have Qiye snatch a portion of them, and then have Juncheng contact them. I must first secure this important strategic objective. All the preparations are ready, and all that’s left is to start ‘playing’.
Of course, the one playing isn’t me, but… the one guiding him from behind will be me, just like Sai was behind Lixian Guang. Although Qiye has agreed to give someone the ability to see me, I haven’t mentioned Juncheng’s name yet. If his Destiny Power is too strong, Qiye will perceive him as a threat. I must ensure that Qiye doesn’t develop a sense of apprehension towards Juncheng, otherwise, I won’t be able to stop him if he tries to harm Juncheng. He needs to feel that he’s on par with Juncheng in terms of strength.
So, I started giving Qiye information about some of the Masters of Fate who have come to this city. It’s just right for him to deal with these Masters of Fate, as this guy’s Ability is to win everything he wants, including Destiny Power, through ‘betting’. Of course, these Masters of Fate were also attracted by the ‘information’ I scattered, gradually gathering in this city.
Hmm? You ask me what information I scattered? It’s just ‘diluted’ information, and in fact, the one who truly leaked it was Qiye. It’s only ‘diluted’ information. I just told him what I knew, and of course, I didn’t reveal Juncheng’s information here. I only changed the original narrative of the world to make it sound more appealing to him.
If it were an ordinary situation, I would probably mix three parts truth with seven parts falsehood, using a narrative of this sort to deceive him. But this time I didn’t. I ‘honestly’ told him the ‘truth’. This is necessary information leakage. Perhaps later, he believed it and selectively released some of the content, attracting more Masters of Fate. Maybe a Holy War can be held in this city now?
There are many who have their eyes on Juncheng. They are strong people, but these people will not truly encounter Juncheng. Before that, Qiye will deal with these miscellaneous flies. Hmmm~ The feeling of killing with a borrowed knife is quite good~. It’s like scattering bait to lure a bunch of small shrimp, then letting Qiye, a small fish, eat these shrimp.
When this little fish grows to a certain extent, it will become arrogant and look down on Juncheng. This guy also seems to want this kind of ‘prey’ information. Every man wants to be the strongest. By properly utilizing this childish ambition, difficulties can be overcome. Of course, doing so also carries risks. If he confronts Juncheng later, it won’t be worth it.
Of course, doing so also carries risks. It might backfire. If I tell Qiye these things, his sight will expand, his perspective will change, and then he will swell up, and then he will “carry the blame”. All accusations will be directed at him. Why? Because he ‘knows too much’. If this person continues like this, the world will definitely not let it go. And he might very well be targeted by the ‘world’. I think this is why I was erased. I can’t think of any other reason for being excluded by the world. It’s probably because I knew too much that they chose to make me disappear. They definitely didn’t want me to spread these things, so they chose to reveal me like that, perhaps to let me disappear.
But for some reason, this guy (Qiye) has loopholes. It’s likely that… Oh my, I suddenly feel like I’m raising gu worms. Huhu~ I just don’t know whose poison this gu will eventually turn into.
“You seem to be smiling very happily? Did you think of something good?”
I immediately put away my smile, and looked at the newcomer indifferently.
“Oh, was I smiling? You must have seen wrong.”
“Unfortunately, you never smile at me.”
“Isn’t that obvious? I already have my dear darling.”
“I didn’t expect your views to be so conservative. Judging by your personality and way of speaking, I thought you were the ‘playful’ type.”
“Another experience of the male god Qiye with women?”
“No, I want you more.”
“Eh—”
“So disgusting. I can’t accept this. It feels like a cockroach crawling on me… utterly disgusting.”
Qiye noticed my look of disgust and smiled gentlemanly, saying, “Then… forget it. Let’s talk about business. A big fish has come this time. His name is Yang Shifan.”
“Heh, it seems you don’t know much about the Masters of Fate in this world. Those like us, the holders of Destiny Marks, are all his targets. That person seems to consider himself a guardian, carrying out what he believes to be justice.”
“A ‘partner of justice’? Ho, sounds impressive. Could he be the dual-digit Destiny Mark you’ve been looking for?”
Qiye is a Master of Fate of the Seven Deadly Sins. He still needs two more to complete the set, and dual-digit Destiny Marks are precisely the rarest. None of the Masters of Fate he hunted these days were dual-digit.
“He knows… but he just won’t tell you, huhuhu~”
“Well, my Destiny Mark is of the highest order. I usually act alone, so no one knows how many I have. If someone like a Calamity Witch… so I want to ask you to investigate what Destiny Mark he holds.”
“Is that all the information you have?”
“His Ability is somewhat heard of.”
“Listen.”
“It’s said to ‘amplify latent emotions’.”
“Exactly. Human emotions are very complex. Besides the emotions on the surface, there are deeper ones in the heart, which even the person themselves may not be aware of. It is said that once activated, it cannot be undone and will continue to amplify. It will continue to amplify, and it is contagious.”
“Amplify… latent emotions…”
“It seems like a negligible Ability, but its effect is quite significant. It can intensify conflicts, disintegrate enemies from within, and then reap the rewards amidst the chaos. And you don’t know when you’ll be affected. It’s a tricky Ability.”
“I see…”
I understand this all too well, because I’ve tried it. When it comes to latent emotions, most of them are negative, such as jealousy. And dependence. These emotions being amplified…
“Hahahaha~ Oh my, I’m such a genius. How could I have such a wonderful idea~ First, I’ll feed this information to Yang Shifan, then sell off a certain Young Miss, and let her latent emotions be amplified. I guess it’ll mostly be jealousy, but it doesn’t matter if it’s something else, this is just the beginning. A Young Miss wouldn’t allow her emotions to be manipulated, and she’ll then go to Juncheng, who will undoubtedly help her. Then Juncheng will also be infected–.”
SF Light Novel
“All the girls around Juncheng will be infected. Everyone’s inner emotions will be… Hahahaha, isn’t this interesting! The girls can’t suppress their emotions, what will happen to them? Hahahaha, they’ll become ‘like me’!”
“I’ve already ‘adapted’ to such drastic emotional changes after experiencing countless such things. But these girls who haven’t experienced much won’t know how to enjoy it. They’ll be confused, cause trouble, erupt, and then I can reap the benefits~ Because it will become a situation where ‘only I am on Juncheng’s side’.”
“At that time, I can monopolize Juncheng. Juncheng will be mine alone, Hahahaha!”
“I will unconsciously become the number one priority in his heart. When he thinks of something, he will immediately think of ‘only Lan is my partner’—a perfect opportunity to usurp the throne.”
“He sometimes tells me he wants to monopolize Juncheng. That will only trouble Juncheng and lower his favorability. It’s a loss-making business. But through this, I can become the ‘main wife’, receive the most love, and enjoy the longest time. And I can also observe Juncheng training the other girls.”
“Just thinking about it is exciting and fun, Hahahaha~”
I couldn’t help but suppress my joyful laughter and said to Qiye, “…Hey, last time you said you’d let someone be able to see me.”
“Ah, are you finally going to use it?”
“Hmph, I won’t do free work for you. Then this time, you need to go and give that Yang Shifan some information first.”
I told him the specific plan and then added, “Then, I want you to give An Juncheng the ability to ‘see the ‘outside world’.”
“…It’s him. I’ve heard you mention him a few times. Could it be that he’s the person most important to you?”
“That’s right.”
Thinking of Juncheng, I couldn’t help but smile. “He is my everything.”
“For him, I can do anything. I can do anything.”
“This is the power of love!”
