Thats right! I am back; Gu Qianqian is back in business! she announced as she landed slowly.
System? she uttered. System? What do I do next?
System?
A chanical voice filled her ear: Im sorry, but sothing is interrupting our signal.
[Your friend (The Gorgeous and Pretty Demon Slayers System) has disconnected.]
Just as this was going on, Yibei was taken aback by Gu Qianqians way of returning to the scene. She wasnt sure if that was a Guardian Spirit, a monster, or a familiar
She hurriedly backed away, but not before flashing a look towards the monster.
A witch and a powerful psychic user, all in one night, the monster thought as it trembled.
anwhile, Yibei confird Gu Qianqians approximate location before turning around and running in the opposite direction.
eting Gu Qianqian twice in a row in places known for urban legend activity made Yibei second-guess her true identity.
Is she an urban legend like ? Or is she a vigilante?
She was sure of one thingit was dangerous to be around her. Comparing the both of them, Gu Qianqian had terrifying combat power, while all she could do was beco hot.
She quickly walked down the street and turned around. Amidst the pouring rain, she could see Gu Qianqian executing the monster.
Gu Qianqian held the tal club tightly in her hand and raised it high. In the next mont, a huge, black iron arm towered behind her, supporting her arm. As it fell, the tremors beca stronger, like a surging ocean wave that sliced open the earth.
A school of bony fish flew towards the club, condensing the fog into a barrier.
Even then, the barrier was torn apart easily, and the fog gradually dissipated.
The monster began to distort and deform, and its bones started to fade into ash. The mont the club hit it, it completely shattered into powder.
The phantom arm behind Gu Qianqian disappeared; her face was visibly pale, and sweat beaded on her forehead.
System? she called out as she retrieved the sole remaining eyeball of the monster. Is this it?
Yes. Congratulations! You have received 200 points as well as a copy of its essence.
A copy? What about the body here?
No need.
Then, how do we deal with the body?
Give it to her!
Who? She tilted her head, looking around defensively.
anwhile, Yibei crouched in the bushes, secretly looking at Gu Qianqian through the gaps in the bushes.
At this mont, she subconsciously stroked the statue, and imdiately, she could feel her powers being sucked into the statue.
And in the next mont, the statue shone with dazzling golden light as it chanted the Sanskrit loudly.
No, no, no She slapped the statue, but it only made the chanting grow louder.
Found you! Gu Qianqian cheered as she peeked over the bushes.
Why are we giving her this again? she asked her system.
Just think of it as throwing a piece of at to a hungry wolf. Im buying us ti to escape!
Do you know her?
Rember the witch I ntioned to you? The one who is destined to destroy this world?
Yes! Lu Yibei, the fabled boy who is a witch!
Well, she is Lu Yibei.
Hah! You are not a good liar. How could that cute little girl be Lu Yibei?
The system couldnt help but sigh. Judging a book by its cover is never a good thing.
Co on, little girl! Ive got sothing for you! Gu Qianqian beckoned.
Yibei gulped as she got up. It seed like she couldnt distinguish her true identity, but what was she trying to accomplish by calling her over?
I have sothing for you! Gu Qianqian repeated as she opened her hand.
It was an eyeball. Yibei should be disgusted by this, but it seed that every single fibre of her body was yearning for it.
Yibei stopped; this seed too convenient like a strange man giving a young girl candy.
System, shes not coming. Ill go over there myself, Gu Qianqian pouted.
Gu Qianqian, what the hell are you doing? the system yelled. Run! Throw the eyeball at her and run!
No! What if it gets dirty? I cant give her sothing dirty!
[New Task: Throw the eyeball at her and evacuate the area within a minute. Reward: 500 points]
Gu Qianqians eyes widened at the new task she received. Looking at the eyeball in her hand, she looked at the girl apologetically before throwing the eyeball towards her with all her might.
Yibei imdiately dove downward, thinking she had just thrown a bomb. Hearing the eyeball plop on the ground, she got up hesitantly but found that Gu Qianqian had already disappeared from the scene.
She gulped as she crept towards the eyeball; it was scaly and drenched in a viscous liquid. It was cloudy and lifeless, and beyond the eyeball, she could see countless tiny fish swimming in its iris.
She couldnt help but retch when she imagined eating this.
Although it was difficult to eat, her body twisted with hunger.
Swallowing hard, she was just about to devour the eyeball when a gust of wind blew down the street.
A masked man in black appeared in the shadows and passed by her, and she realised that the eyeball in her hand had disappeared.
Hey! Excuse ! She shouted, chasing after the masked man. She stretched out her hand and grabbed his shirt from behind.
The man rely glanced at Yibei before turning back around.
Yibei pulled on the shirt firmly, and it was torn. Through the slits of the clothes, one could vaguely see a black sun totem tattoo on the wheat-coloured back.
After staring at the tattoo for a second or two, Yibei could feel his eyes burning intensely, and his vision was instantly blurred.
