Xiaobai's Love in Another World

Chapter 458 The Legend of the Moon Goddess
"But she used wood-based abilities back then, and there's also the Jingkongliu News Agency... When did they start releasing fake news?"

Wang Zinong glared at him, his anger barely contained when he spoke of the Jingkongliu incident.

"Haven't you spread enough fake news? Take that incident last time, for example, they said one man could take on an army of ten thousand, and the whole army was wiped out. Are we that bad? What's even more infuriating is that they only sell for one star coin, even a beggar on the street could afford that!"

Tui Riyao's face darkened instantly, as if it had stirred up some unpleasant memories. "Wasn't the whole army wiped out? I wonder who was kneeling down begging for mercy."

“You!” Wang Zinong fell silent.

The man sitting on the sofa, sipping his tea, took another sip and sighed deeply at the greatest sorrow of his life.

"Don't worry, although her ring is dispensable and she has the most powerful artifact, the Spirit Extinction Talisman, our Brother Hao is back."

"Moreover, the spies all said that her spirit-annihilating ability is just a mark ability, and the mark ability can only be exerted at 30%, while our Brother Hao has a demon core, but he can use the slashing attack in the form of a talisman!"

"A dual-form artifact talisman is no less powerful than a mark of spirit destruction! Plus Zirui, with two elite gray team members on our side, how can we not defeat her?"

"You can handle it in no time!"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, except for Wang Zinong, whose right eyelid kept twitching.

"That's true, but I always feel like she deliberately left the ring there for some kind of scheme."

"Wake me up when you get there, I'll close my eyes for a bit." Sun Hao, lying on the recliner, had a calm expression on his face, and then closed his eyes.

"Okay, I'll call you later."

The time difference between the human realm and the ghost realm of Willow Flower Plain is huge; only one hour has passed here, but a whole day has passed there.

Lou Xiaojing left Liuhuayuan and took a Star Coin car to his house, which took at least an hour and a half. Another hour passed before they all arrived and settled the prize money. In total, Bai Lingshan, who was staying at the Liuhuayuan Dark Zone Inn, had been waiting for them for three or four days.

"Good morning!"

The moment Bai Lingshan stepped out of the room, she came face to face with the skeletal figure swaying and greeting her.

"…it is good."

Witnessing a person's growth from bones to a complete person over ten days is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.

Its entire body is covered with a network of light blue or red blood vessels, which are also wrapped in some white things and pink granulation tissue. Staring at it for more than five seconds can cause physical discomfort.

"What are you doing today? Is there anything I can help you with?"

But for the Bone Man, eating raw flesh and bones is just a regular occurrence, and his daily life is completely unaffected.

That's why she sees it every day when she goes out, standing there greeting her, and if she turns away, it only makes her seem extremely impolite.

"I'm just going out for a walk, you should go back to your room."

“Oh, well, I have something else to tell you today,” the skeleton suddenly said.

During the few days spent with the skeleton, if it encountered something it felt happy about, it would proactively share it with her.

Bai Lingshan stopped and looked back at it.

It tilted its head slightly, pinched its chin, and easily misplaced the veins and flesh on its chin.

"You speak, I'm listening."

The skeletal man released his grip on his chin. "That's right. If you hadn't recommended a body, I would have found one myself. I just happened to meet one I really like these past few days."

"..." So that's what it was about. It said casually, "Hmm."

However, in the past few days, its activities have been limited to this inn, which is deserted and not yet the time for Zixue to welcome guests. He said that he saw a suitable appearance here.

"Could it be..." she thought, and her gaze fell on the door of an ordinary guest room.

The standard guest room doors had only a small sign with characters on one side, and no bell. There were at least five such rooms on the entire second floor, but in the months she had stayed there, she had never seen a second person besides herself.

How did he meet him?
"You met him here?"

The skeletal man nodded, "That's right!"

Just then, the door to one of the rooms suddenly opened with a bang, and a man with long black hair and wearing a magnificent robe walked out.

He had a human appearance, but his jet-black hair had no white hair.

"I just thought he was handsome and fair-skinned, which fits the criteria of women in your human world for choosing a partner. I plan to settle down in your human world, since your human world is the safest place in this world."

The skeleton spoke very softly; it didn't want any third party to know its little secret.

At that moment, the man brushed past them and went straight down the stairs.

Bai Lingshan didn't dare to delay, and casually replied before following suit.

Although it didn't quite match the description of Black-faced A-Ci, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to thank him.

But as soon as they stepped outside, the person vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

Helpless, she could only walk back to the counter of the stern-faced boss.

"Was that person someone who had been living here for several months?" She was somewhat disappointed; it was the first time she had ever met him.

After reintroducing himself last time, Black-faced Ah Ci also told White-faced Ah Tao about the incident involving Cabbage and the ordinary hotel staff.

Now, even the pale-faced Ah Tao has learned to answer quickly, "No, he just checked in yesterday and left today. Yours is still staying here."

"……Oh."

All thoughts vanished at that moment, and the pent-up emotions were relieved.

“And another thing,” the pale-faced Ah Tao continued, “after the third snowfall today, remember to go out and look at the moon, don’t forget.”

"moon?"

“That’s right!” Black-faced Aci chimed in, “Today is a supermoon that only appears once every thousand years, and Miss Aruo, you are very lucky. Today is also the darkest time in Willow Flower Plain. We have a legend in Willow Flower Plain that if you sit with your loved one to watch the moon on this day, the moon goddess will bless them, allowing them to overcome obstacles and stay together for life.”

Pale-faced Ah Tao picked up his abacus and slapped it on the head of dark-faced Ah Tao, scolding, "Go ahead and say it! Talk about the moon! That's love! Do you think our girl Ah Ruo has any romantic prospects here?"

Both heads turned to look at her in that instant.

Bai Lingshan: "..."

Bai Lingshan lowered her head slightly. "Yes, I didn't."

She didn't dare say that she didn't have a boyfriend at all.

"Waaah, we promised we wouldn't fight or argue, and it's only been a few days and you're already...waaah."

"You deserve a beating."

The two heads were showing off their brotherly affection, making her feel like she was being fed a mouthful of "brotherly food" (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a couple's close bond).

She didn't say anything more, but quietly moved away from where the two people were.

After taking a stroll outside the inn and returning, it had only been half the snowfall. The rest of the time was uneventful; I practiced fanning myself, ate meals, and before I knew it, it was time for them to admire the moon.

In the human world, news reports often mentioned unusual celestial phenomena on certain days, or that wishes made during meteor showers would definitely come true, but she had never seen any of these reports because she didn't believe in them.

But this time, she was really looking forward to it.

Even while waiting for the moon to shine, the image of someone else might appear.
