Chapter 454: Chapter 453: Are You Angry?

Chapter 453: Are You Angry?

Luo Wusheng’s consciousness felt a little fuzzy.

The moment Yao Ji tapped her fingertip onto his forehead, his mind seemed to connect with something, plunging him instantly into chaos.

Until a voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

"Huh? That dumb fox finished flirting with you that quickly?"

Luo Wusheng finally regained his clarity.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Yue Xuanji, a smile on her face and her eyes narrowed as she looked at him.

But besides her, the surrounding space was bizarre and dreamlike, impossible to see clearly.

’An illusion?’

Luo Wusheng thought for a moment. He should’ve still been discussing the Netherkin chaos in the Immortal Nation with the little fox, and was slightly shocked by her explanation. He had just begun to think seriously about the feasibility of this so-called "Immortal Soul Summoning ritual"... and then he was dragged into this place.

’According to the little fox’s explanation, the arrangements for this plan... well, actually they should all be this white-haired loli’s arrangements. She’s the real expert at this sort of thing, so...’

Luo Wusheng looked toward the girl in front of him.

Yue Xuanji appeared exactly as she did when they first met—hair as white as snow, starry eyes sparkling.

Her petite figure sat atop a strange, enormous divination disc, her white, bare little feet gently swinging—the girl still refused to wear shoes.

"Tower Master Yue?"

Luo Wusheng tried calling out.

If he guessed right, what came next should be her explaining the details of this "Immortal Soul snatching" plan.

Also, he noticed only now that he still appeared in the golden, glittering form of Slime-Model Luo Wusheng—only a bit translucent.

The Yue Xuanji before him nodded in response to his tentative call.

"Mm... you should be trying to call me right now, right? Although I don’t know how you’re addressing me in your heart, at this moment you should be calling me ’Tower Master Yue,’ correct?"

Her words stunned Luo Wusheng.

"Don’t be surprised—what’s here is just an image I left behind in the past. Your appearance here means that dumb fox thinks the time has come."

A recording?

Luo Wusheng’s expression turned thoughtful, but he was also puzzled.

That can’t be right. If it’s just a recording, how could it say something like "finished flirting with you that quickly"?

"Of course, it’s because I gave that dumb fox three memory-image imprints... After she successfully completes spirit-calling, if she finishes talking with you within one incense hour, she’s supposed to open this one for you."

Sitting atop the divination disc, Yue Xuanji looked completely matter-of-fact.

"If it were anything else, she’d probably rebel just to spite me. But since this concerns you, based on my understanding of her, she will definitely obediently bring out this imprint."

Poor little fox—her temperament had been completely read by her most terrible nemesis.

"Hehe~ and it’s not just her. I understand you very well too, you know? For example, if I don’t bring it up now, in a moment you’d definitely say a few things you’d never dare say in front of me before... then make some inappropriate attempts on this recorded body of mine, just to confirm whether it’s really a recording, right?"

"..."

Damn, she got him.

Luo Wusheng, who had already prepared a few vague lines to probe the loli’s state and had even planned what to do after confirming she was just an image, fell into deep reflection.

’Thinking about it carefully... even if it is just a recording, being exposed like this... isn’t really that big a deal?’

He could still—

"Right, even though this place is only a recorded-projection space, I still left a few protective measures behind. For example, after this ends, it’ll extract several segments of what happened here and return them to my memory. So if I happen to see anything... strange... later—eh? Didn’t someone still owe me something?"

The little girl showed a slightly troubled expression.

"If I can’t collect the debt myself... should I consider explaining a certain someone Star-Moon Jade Stone debt and have that dumb fox help me chase them down?"

"...You win."

Luo Wusheng quietly sat back down.

Yep, he can’t afford to provoke her.

Was this really just a projection? It felt exactly like a real-time conversation with mind-reading included!

"Good boy~"

The self-proclaimed recording of Yue Xuanji smiled, lifting a tiny hand to rub the air—as if she were vigorously scrubbing someone’s head like a dog.

Luo Wusheng rolled his eyes. "Let’s talk about the current situation first."

Whether this white-haired loli was a projection or not, Luo Wusheng was certain she already knew what he wanted to ask.

Yue Xuanji didn’t disappoint.

"No rush. I still have something to say before that."

The little girl swung her cute legs.

"Mm, it’s a bit of a shame—I can’t see your current appearance yet. With that dumb fox’s personality, she probably won’t let you meet me with your real face, right? Tsk tsk— That moment hasn’t happened yet, and yet she has become like this."

Real face?

Luo Wusheng touched his currently golden-glowing Buddhist Golden Body face... Even if it was coated in a layer of gold, it should still count as his real face, right?

Come to think of it, if the modified Golden Body technique hadn’t worked well enough, would he have been sent here in his previous appearance... delivered by the little fox... to meet the white-haired loli’s projection?

And according to this girl, part of what happened here would return to her memory later...

Close call!

With the Heavenly Divination Tower Master’s malicious personality, who knew what would happen if things had gone down like that.

But from the looks of it, she really is just a projection left behind in the past?

And apparently one of the three memory-image imprints she left for Yao Ji...

Meaning she recorded at least three videos.

Just how bored was she?

"No no no, that wasn’t boredom."

Yue Xuanji once again accurately followed his inner thoughts.

"After this imprint finishes playing, the seals on the other two will lift, and that dumb fox will be able to watch recordings similar to this one. Hehehe~~ I can’t wait to see her twisted expression in the footage those two imprints will return to me."

This mesugaki is so punchable!

The fact that this white-haired loli hadn’t been completely beaten up by the little fox yet must mean she was simply too merciful.

"Mm... but just leaving those earlier bits might not be enough."

At this moment, the recorded Yue Xuanji fell into deep thought.

Then her eyes brightened.

"Right! How about you become my Dao Companion in the future?"

...Huh?

"Think about it—the dumb fox is insanely possessive, and she’s already at the peak of Divine Transformation. If you became her Dao Companion, would you still be able to flirt around like you do now? But I’m different! I’m much more open-minded than that jealous fox— Besides, considering when we are, I can’t really do anything with you yet. So even if you fuck around with someone like the Immortal Nation’s Empress, the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden, or more—I wouldn’t mind at all~"

"Ah, but if a body like mine is also within your acceptable range... then that’s not impossible either? I do have the physique of a Divine Transformation cultivator, after all, so it can take quite a beating..."

Yue Xuanji very appropriately revealed a hint of shy charm.

Luo Wusheng’s mouth twitched.

The other two memory imprints probably contained this part as well, right? Meaning little fox would hear all of this?

As expected... this white-haired loli has completely let herself go.

Also—what did she mean by him "would you still be able to flirt around like you do now"?

Don’t say such misleading nonsense!

Besides, he already had a Dao companion...

His wife was literally flying over on her sword right now.

But Yue Xuanji showed no intention of stopping.

"Besides what I just said, if you choose to be with that dumb fox, something very scary will happen, you know?"

?

He had to admit, those words somehow piqued Luo Wusheng’s curiosity.

Scary... did this white-haired loli actually see something dangerous in the future?

"Think carefully— that dumb fox is a Netherkin, okay? Even though she’s taken human form, she’s still a Netherkin, you know?"

’And so?’

Luo Wusheng didn’t understand where this was going.

Was she talking about the issue of Human–Netherkin romance?

That didn’t bother him at all, he’d grown up in the modern world, liking monster girls is normal in his eyes.

Hell, there’s a certain group that doesn’t mind that the ’girls’ parts are not included.

"So, when that dumb fox transformed, she might not have developed certain... anatomical structures common to human women."

Luo Wusheng froze stiff.

Surely... surely that wouldn’t happen, right?

He’d never heard of Netherkin transforming with that kind of defect!

’And while Human–Netherkin ’communication’ cases are a bit rare, inter-Netherkin crossbreeding cases are pretty common, aren’t they? They can’t possibly be using their original beast forms for that, right?’

What if... the "caliber" didn’t match?

Luo Wusheng reasoned with himself convincingly—yet for some reason he suddenly recalled something.

Previously... when the little fox shaped a female body for his slime form, she did seem to leave certain... things unmade.

"Also, according to some tales," Yue Xuanji added just in time, "Netherkin tend to revert to their original form when they’re overly stimulated~"

Another finishing blow.

"But you know... as long as there’s love, that isn’t really a problem~"

Luo Wusheng’s thoughts spiraled into darkness.

No no no! Why am I seriously thinking about this?!

The topic had completely derailed.

Luo Wusheng looked at the white-haired loli opposite him.

She happened to nod contentedly.

"Mm. This level of teasing should be about enough."

Enough for the little fox to decide to drag you off and sell you to a brothel?!

This girl was beyond saving—she was absolutely going to get herself killed one day!

Luo Wusheng could already feel his little fox’s teeth cracking due to how hard she gritted it...

How many billions of innocent people that the little fox has killed in her past life to end up with karmic ties to this white-haired menace?

"Then, now that we’re done talking about that dumb fox, let’s talk about you."

Yue Xuanji met Luo Wusheng’s gaze head-on.

Ah... she was finally getting to the main point.

"Where should I start? Oh, right, I should tell you this first."

Yue Xuanji tilted her small head in thought, then spoke with a smile:

"Your real body is still inside the space controlled by the Netherkin’s Demon Moon, yes?"

Luo Wusheng nodded. As expected, all of this was within the white-haired loli’s calculations.

"You must have wondered... what exactly determines the scenes that the Demon Moon lets you watch from the outside world?"

"Hm?" Luo Wusheng raised a brow, not expecting her to bring that up.

For some reason, even though he was indeed curious, he also suddenly felt a strong sense of foreboding.

"As long as nothing unexpected happened... that was all controlled by me, after I left behind this recording."

???

The sudden twist caught Luo Wusheng completely off guard.

"That dumb fox transferred the control rights of the Demon Moon’s lower-layer restrictions to me... When you used the Demon Moon, didn’t you think that Artifact was strangely cooperative? Bringing you into its controlled space, still providing useful power despite being sealed, and selecting exactly the scenes you wanted to watch most of the time?"

"Actually—all of that was my doing!"

The little girl proudly lifted her chin.

"And assuming I didn’t change my mind later, although I could act remotely through those restrictions, I should have stayed in the shadows the entire time and never helped block the Netherkin’s pursuit of you inside that space."

"So? Are you angry?"

"If not, then let me tell you another thing... That dumb fox also left a backdoor in the lower restrictions, a direct passage that could open into the outside world."

"But I never opened it for you either."

"Mm, so the current me— I mean the real me outside— must have just finished watching quite the show, no?"

Luo Wusheng: "..."

Suddenly his heart hurt.

Was this what they called a myocardial infarction?

Why did the white-haired loli feel especially unhinged when recording memory imprints?

Was this also the difference between "online me" and "real-life me"?

But surprisingly, Luo Wusheng felt relieved.

Yue Xuanji’s meaning was clear: she’d been observing everything from start to finish.

She didn’t intervene because she didn’t need to.

Though he still didn’t know why all the behind-the-scenes people connected to him were doing their best to avoid being dragged into any fight involving him...

At least both friend and foe seemed to behave the same in that regard.

’But still...’

He really wanted to grab this white-haired loli and give her butt a good spanking.

For the little fox to tolerate her for so many years—she must truly be a saint!

"Wait—doesn’t this mean she saw the entire process of my lovely Empress suffering backlash too?"

Poor Empress.

Her social-death radius had just expanded to one more person.

Across from him, Yue Xuanji wore a delighted expression, her dainty little legs stretching out and overlapping—an image that made one want to take a bite.

"All right, time’s almost up. I’ve finished the important matters, so now it’s time to talk about the unimportant ones."

The white-haired girl lightly hopped down from the strange divination disk.

"Your biggest trump card right now is that drop of Tribulation Blood between your brows, right?"

"You plan to unseal your Diabolic Saint Physique yourself, attract the Five-Colored Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation, then use that drop of Tribulation Blood to elevate the tribulation to the level of an Immortal Tribulation, and finally perish together with your enemy... It’s a good idea, and it indeed poses a threat to a Divine Transformation realm cultivator."

"But... it’s not enough. And far too reckless."
