A burst of noise ca from upstairs.
That was Wu Xiaode and his servants starting another live stream.
Shen Xiujun was cutting cucumbers in the kitchen, with the previous scenes constantly flashing through her mind.
——Wu Xiaode could actually use his own body!
No matter how you look at it, it just didn’t make sense.
What exactly went wrong?
The Parasite of the Ti Corpse was also nowhere to be seen.
Where had it gone?
Shen Xiujun only felt shrouded in a heavy fog, even harboring an ominous premonition.
If the Parasite wasn’t there...
If Wu Xiaode changed identities again and let that emotionless existence replace him, how was she supposed to win?
Impossible.
Shen Xiujun’s eyes suddenly blazed red, and she murmured:
"If the opponent has used soone else’s hand, then according to the principle of fairness, please manifest the help I can employ."
In mid-air, a number "2" quietly erged.
Just as expected.
Shen Xiujun sneered, placed the cut cucumbers aside, and lightly tugged at the Void—
A chair completely carved out of Ice Frost appeared before her.
"Cold Ice Throne."
"A unique, mysterious item."
"With the ultimate power of Ice Frost, any existence on this throne will be utterly disregarded."
"——This is the true definition of a cold shoulder."
Upon revealing the Cold Ice Throne, the number "2" in mid-air suddenly changed to "1".
She could still call in one more external aid!
Shen Xiujun murmured softly:
"Since fairness has been breached, it’s as if you’re seeking death—let’s end this battle now."
She reached into the Void once again.
A palm-sized box instantly appeared in her hand.
Upon opening the box, a jack-in-the-box sprang out.
Underneath the jack-in-the-box was a spinner, the pointer resting on the only blank space on the dial, while the other eleven divisions were engraved with emotions like "Anger," "Happiness," "Sadness," "Disgust," "Despair," and so on.
"Jack-in-the-box!"
"A mysterious object."
"The being gazed upon by the jack-in-the-box will imdiately be infected with a specific emotion to face its master."
"——Life’s but a play."
Shen Xiujun’s finger moved slightly.
All the emotions on the spinner turned into "Admiration."
She carefully closed the box, then placed it on the Cold Ice Throne and carried the throne to the bar, where she set it down properly.
——When Wu Xiaode cos down later, he will definitely be unable to see the Cold Ice Throne.
All she needed to do was to activate the Jack-in-the-box on the throne at the right ti, and she could make him fall in love with her!
She couldn’t be blad for this.
It was him who called for aid first, thus breaking the balance of the entire mission.
Now, the mont to pluck the fruit of victory was imminent!
Shen Xiujun snapped her fingers.
Several dishes already prepared deliciously suddenly appeared in the kitchen.
"Xiujun must not co down... Better to avoid letting her hear any sound from my side for now."
Thinking silently, Shen Xiujun prepared to personally go upstairs to call Wu Xiaode to eat.
Knock knock knock—
A series of knocks sounded.
Damn it, who dares to cause trouble at such a critical mont?
Shen Xiujun looked towards the bar entrance with a murderous expression on her face.
Boom—
The door was kicked open with a bang.
A humanoid figure comprised entirely of blurry points of light walked into the bar.
"Ah... the first calamity’s master, the vulgar one who loves to collect all kinds of treasures, Breeder, I’ve finally found you."
Shen Xiujun burst into pale flas all over her body and said in a cold voice,
"White Bone Demon Worm Daville, I am in the midst of a task of Causality Law. If you dare to interfere with my task, I will definitely kill you."
"Kill ?"
The figure of light gradually beca clearer, taking the shape of a curly-haired blonde youth with a sword scar on his forehead.
He sneered with ill-intent,
"Look at you, dragged into an inescapable task by a re human—such a clumsy way to fight, I guess—"
"If I kill that human for you, surely sothing good will happen next."
Shen Xiujun sneered, "True, while I take human form, I am indeed full of weaknesses, but rest assured my task is not so clumsy. If you have the guts, try it."
The curly-haired youth known as White Bone Demon Worm Daville listened silently, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.
This guy.
Despite having taken the weakest form, he still dared to speak so proudly.
Was he bluffing or did he genuinely have the confidence to face himself?
Shen Xiujun, however, spoke no further, just standing there quietly, motionless, as if she had so substantial confidence.
The air almost solidified.
"Hahaha," White Bone Demon Worm Daville suddenly laughed, "I’ve co to deliver a ssage. The Parasite of the Ti Corpse has vanished, no one can find it."
"Now you know, if there’s nothing else, get lost," Shen Xiujun said coldly.
"Hmph, Breeder, you always have such a nasty temper, yet you drew a love-related task? Hahaha, I must say, that human has quite an imagination," Daville mocked.
"Do you want to die?" Shen Xiujun said softly.
Behind her, the Void opened, revealing a sea brimming with a myriad of odd and strange objects.
Countless bizarre artifacts churned, each seemingly ready to fall into Shen Xiujun’s hands at any mont to help her fight.
A flicker of greed and fear passed through Daville’s eyes.
"Forget it, if we fight and others reap the benefits, wouldn’t that be a laughingstock?"
He said, put on a black hat, and turned towards the bar’s entrance.
Shen Xiujun remained motionless.
She just stared at him coldly, her body full of magical fluctuations, like a bow fully drawn and ready to release at any mont.
Step, step, step.
In the quiet atmosphere, Daville finally reached the bar entrance.
He adjusted his hat, grinding his back teeth fiercely.
Damn it.
Not a single flaw was revealed by Breeder.
It was entirely believable that the mont he turned his back, or any power fluctuation appeared on him, Breeder would imdiately launch a full-force attack.
Though she was in a human form, she had collected a great number of odd and peculiar treasures—
More bizarre treasures than any other calamity demon!
With the boost of those treasures, she might indeed be able to fight him.
Besides, he did not yet know what kind of punishnt would ensue from disrupting her task.
Could it be—
This wasn’t the best ti to kill her after all?
Damn it, it was so hard to find her...
Daville steadied his hand on the doorknob, a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind.
Fight?
Or not to fight?
"Get lost."
That cold female voice again ca from behind.
A surge of anger flared up in Daville’s heart, instantly quelled.
The nurtured murderous intent was already encroaching.
She was really going to make a move!
——Could she, even in human form, confidently detain ?
"Heh, what a cold-hearted creature,"
Daville said slowly, still not turning around.
Once again, silence fell all around.
The mont of decision had arrived!
Suddenly.
A loud voice ca from the second floor of the bar:
"Congratulations to this boss, the boss is really generous!"
"This session’s treasure has been sold."
"So, goodbye."
"Please, everyone, stay calm. We will release the third item later on."
Daville’s eyes lit up.
Mortals!
His own probing of the nurtured had failed, but there were mortals upstairs!
Killing a mortal wouldn’t break any rules, and it probably wouldn’t violate the Causality Law of her mission either.
——At least, he wouldn’t have to bear the interference and punishnt of her Causality Law!
In a real fight, his own pressure would be much less.
More importantly, this was a new way to probe her attitude!
"Hiding your paramour in a golden house, eh, Xiujun?"
Daville said with a chuckle.
Without waiting for Shen Xiujun to react, he reached out with an ethereal grab.
In a flash.
A girl was clutched by the neck in his hand.
Blood Youth!
The Blood Youth’s face was pale, and she scread pitifully:
"Master save !"
Daville’s mouth curled into a sneer, and he said maliciously, "Your master will et the sa fate."
He reached out with his other hand to make another void grasp.
——And caught nothing.
Daville was stunned.
A mortal... had actually dodged his capture?
He suddenly had a thought and said, changing color, "Xiujun, have you gone mad? Why would you impart Infinite Tribulation Power to a mortal?"
Shen Xiujun was dumbfounded for a mont.
Right.
If I had given Infinite Tribulation Power to a mortal, everything would make sense.
For Infinite Tribulation Power overcos all beings and things.
Wu Xiaode, having obtained Infinite Tribulation Power, could use the body of my Causality Law.
Wrong!!!
Shen Xiujun ticulously recalled each second, each fra, of her ti spent with Wu Xiaode.
I ca to this bar.
He ca back.
Then he started to replace and call for backup.
——During this process, he didn’t even have any contact with , let alone a handshake or the like.
So.
There was no chance for him to have obtained Infinite Tribulation Power from !
And besides.
There had been tribulation masters who tried in the past.
The mortal body simply cannot contain Infinite Tribulation Power!
Almost fooled.
"Hmph, don’t you find what you said laughable?" Shen Xiujun started to scoff.
"Then how do you explain his ability to dodge my magic—though it was the most basic kind?" Daville challenged.
Shen Xiujun was about to speak but then closed her mouth again.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Soone was coming down the stairs.
It was a young boy.
Daville, full of malice, said to the boy opposite him, "Not bad, but... your servant is about to be killed by ."
The boy suddenly raised his hand, saying, "Hold on, don’t kill her just yet."
"But why not?" Daville asked playfully.
Shen Xiujun also looked towards the boy.
"Little Wu..."
She looked conflicted.
Should I help or not?
Can I gain any reputation by helping?
This depends on how much Little Wu values his servant.
Let’s just see how it goes first.
Shen Xiujun gripped the power in her hand tightly, waiting with bated breath.
Daville was also focusing on Little Wu.
Both tribulation devils wanted to see how the human boy would react.
Under their gaze, the boy finally made his move.
He turned to look behind him—
As if there were caras there—
His face was full of excitent as he spoke rapidly:
"Attention all viewers."
"Attention all viewers!"
"——The mont of excitent has arrived."
"Before you stand two great tribulation devils, one of whom is about to kill my live broadcast assistant."
"We are starting the live broadcast now."
"Viewing guide: 8 million willpower per second."
"VIPs get a 20% discount."
"This is a live broadcast, there are no previews!"
"Start purchasing!"
