Chapter 667: Chapter 665: Seeing Through Without Pointing It Out
…
Entering Jiuyou required passing through a rift in the earth.
Observing the aura of the Dark Rule emanating from Jiuyou, Sally asked Little Fengning to return to the System Space first.
The System Map was not much use here either.
Sally took out an oil lamp from her Space Ring, wiped it off, and lit it to brighten the dark space, revealing the sharp, bizarre rocks scattered all around.
Then she heard the voice of her mentor Qing, “What does my disciple need from her mentor?”
Sally, “I wasn’t looking for my mentor, just wanted to use this Chaos Light to illuminate Jiuyou a bit, I’m doing a task.”
“Jiuyou? You’re going to clean up that mess, huh.” Qing replied.
Sally, surprised, “Mentor knows about this place?”
“I set up a Restriction inside Jiuyou, those things cannot come out.”
“Then why didn’t you just destroy them? Now they’re almost becoming a disaster.”
“Back then, I wasn’t strong enough, and later when I was, I forgot. Let Qing Linghuan and You Hao handle it, make sure both go together, one alone might struggle.”
“Thanks for the reminder, mentor, this is a mess! Not talking now, I’m doing my task.”
“Alright, call me if you need anything.”
…
Xiaomei activated the system’s light screen and, after a few operations, took out a storage chip and handed it to Sally, “Let Xiaomei go.”
“Huh? Isn’t it you?” Sally was astonished. She called him over precisely because she wanted him to take action.
“Points.”
“I’m on it!” Sally immediately took the storage chip.
[Ah! If I knew he wouldn’t take action, I wouldn’t have looked for him. We could have just handled it ourselves.] Sally said to Xiaomei.
Xiaomei was quite enthusiastic, [It’s great that you found him, how else would we see Host tease 000?]
[… Tease your head! I can’t do data battles, you control the body.]
[Yes, Host.] Xiaomei took control of Sally’s body.
In private, Xiaomei and Sally were all smiles, like children fooling around.
But when facing 000, that extremely charming face instantly turned icy, devoid of any expression, with pitch-black eyes staring at him.
“You’re seducing the Host? Why?”
“Leaving aside the Supervision System, I am also a male, my breeding season has come.” 000 took out a contract from the System Space, “Go on.”
“Aren’t you a human male? Human males don’t have a breeding season. They can feel desire anytime they are mutually interested, but they can also control their desires; they don’t lose control.”
“… Some things are better left unsaid.”
“So, you have feelings for the Host.”
“It seems you oppose me being with your Host.”
“Yes, mixing business with pleasure is not good.”
“Right… then erase her memory.”
“If the Host finds out, I’m as good as dead. But, I’m a bit curious too, if you and the Host had a child, what would it be? A cute data baby girl like Xiaomei?” By the end of her words, Xiaomei’s voice became very cute, like a little girl throwing a tantrum.
000 got goosebumps, “5.5 billion!”
“It could also be a baby boy.”
“6.5 billion points! No more!!”
“Alrighty~” Xiaomei was satisfied, carrying the Chaos Light-emanating oil lamp, she teleported into the rift in the earth.
000 leaned against a large rock and started smoking.
In his mind, however, he couldn’t help recalling the extremely sweet, seductive allure of Sally lying beneath him…
About half an hour later, Xiaomei came out.
She had some injuries on her body, inflicted by threads, crisscrossing and looking quite miserable.
000 frowned and extinguished the cigarette.
Xiaomei glanced at the cigarette butts on the ground, counting twelve in total, “If you’re worried about the Host’s safety, why didn’t you go in and help out?”
“With those 6.5 billion points, you might only be able to split half.”
“…” Fine, they were all greedy for money!
000 opened up the System Space and took out a bottle of potion, “Injuries caused by the Rule aren’t so easy to heal, apply this.”
“Oh.” Xiaomei took it and quickly spread it over the wounds, “Honestly, are you really planning on having a baby with the Host?”
“You’re the one who said mixing personal matters with business isn’t good.”
“It isn’t good, but there’s also no rule that says employees can’t fall in love. You said”
Suddenly, 000 patted her on the head, and Xiaomei returned to the System, leaving Sally back in control of her body.
The first thing she did was check the points and found that another 6.5 billion had been added. Sally’s eyes lit up with a smile, “Xiaomei is awesome!”
Even noticing the new wounds on her body didn’t bother her at all.
“Overtime is done, I’m leaving now,” 000 said to Sally, snapping his fingers to tear open the space, creating a spatial rift.
Sally quickly said, “Alright, alright, send my regards to the big boss.”
“Heal up good.” 000 hooked a briefcase with one finger, slinging it over his shoulder, and stepped into the spatial rift.
Welly and Qing Linghuan came over together.
Discovering Sally standing at the entrance to Jiuyou with injuries still on her, their expressions drastically changed.
“Yanyan, you went in?” Qing Linghuan hurriedly approached, seeing that her wounds were caused by cuts from Rule threads, he feared they wouldn’t heal so easily.
“It’s nothing.” Having earned points, Sally felt clear-headed and invigorated, and as for the thread cuts, she thought they would heal in a few days.
Welly didn’t utter a word, but his expression was extremely grim as he rushed into Jiuyou.
Sally called out in a hurry, “Welly—everything’s been cleaned up already.”
After entering, Welly found nothing but darkness inside and no other presence, so he came back out, “Did you clear out all those evil spirits?”
“Xiaomei told me those evil spirits were actually viruses. Clearing viruses earns points rewards, so I contacted the Main System in the Outer World and they really gave quite a lot. Hehe~”
“Money-grubber.” Qing Linghuan pinched her only unscarred cheek, “Go back to the Divine Realm and recover properly.”
“Where’s Little Fengning?” asked Welly.
Sally teleported Little Fengning out of the System Space, “Welly, did Jian destroy the Divine Body that Linai sculpted with the Hongmeng Pure Qi?”
Welly pulled Little Fengning to his side, replying, “Linai had two strands of Hongmeng Pure Qi. Actually, one strand would have been enough to shape a Divine Body. But Linai wanted to shape another Demon Body as well, so he stored all those evil spirits.
Linai was discovered while constructing the Demon Body, Jian took the Hongmeng Pure Qi and severely injured Linai. Linai escaped, whereabouts unknown.
The strand of Hongmeng Pure Qi, Jian used to create my Divine Root. As for those evil spirits, they were intended to deter the Western Demon Realm. If the Western Demon Realm wants to invade the Eastern Demon Realm, they must first get past Jiuyou, this natural barrier.”
Sally nodded in understanding, “But having these things around is like a timed bomb, it’s fine now since it hasn’t exploded, but if it does, whatever’s inside… the recently stabilized Six Realms might go through another catastrophe.”
“I failed to consider everything, I won’t leave such hidden dangers in the future,” Welly said to Sally.
Seeing him lower his head, Sally walked over and hugged him, “I know you wouldn’t do anything uncertain.”
Qing Linghuan gestured to Little Fengning, “There’s a kind of Youlan Flower around Jiuyou, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure comparable to Divine-grade, effective for wounds caused by the Dark Rule. Would you like to go with uncle to find the Youlan Flower to treat your mother’s injuries?”
“Okay.” Little Fengning immediately went over, taking Qing Linghuan’s hand.
Qing Linghuan walked away with Little Fengning.
Welly was also aware of this flower, “I’ll go pick some Youlan for you.”
“I’ll come with you.” Sally tiptoed, and suddenly kissed his cheek.
Welly’s face began to heat up and turn red, but luckily it was dark around them, hiding his embarrassment, “… There are two of them over there.”
