A Psychiatrist's Bizarre Game Journey / Dream of the Mist

Just then, a young man's voice suddenly came from a corner of the dark room, his tone always carrying an indelible layer of mockery.

"Who is it?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulu was greatly alarmed and instinctively stepped in front of Zhou Ke'er, looking in that direction, but he saw no one.

"..."

Zhou Ke'er didn't speak, but kept her head down and secretly wiped away her tears, pretending that she didn't care about the situation outside and what would happen next. In fact, she was thinking silently: "I didn't feel any spatial fluctuations just now, which means that it wasn't teleported here later... This guy was probably here from the beginning, but he saw us come in, so he hid himself and kept spying in the dark!"

Soon, a young man dressed in a black robe with gold trim appeared in the corner. He had a sinister and effeminate appearance, with the corners of his mouth always slightly upturned. He held a broken iron fan in his hand, and at first glance, he did not look like a good person.

Sure enough, he then said with a smile, "You can come and join our Demonic Sect. This kind of thing is nothing in the Demonic Sect. As for those who are chasing you... they're just insects. As long as you join our Demonic Sect, I'll take care of them all for you! How about it?"

"hiss..."

Zhou Ke'er narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, then once again controlled his spiritual power to seep out from his body, swirling around him, making it look as if endless black mist was eagerly gushing out from his body.

At the same time, his facial expression changed instantly. His eyes, which had softened slightly, became sharp again, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. Outwardly, he had completely reverted to his initial appearance as a sassy, ​​vile female supporting character.

"Ha, I wasn't paying attention, and she actually escaped..."

In a voice just loud enough for both of them to hear, Zhou Ke'er muttered a complaint. She waved her hand, pretending to withdraw her spiritual power, and looked at the man who had suddenly spoken, revealing a wicked and charming smile: "Speaking of which... you said the Demonic Sect would protect me? Hmm... you don't know me, do you? Even if you don't, you must have heard of me, right?"

"Lan Yanran, the notorious demon who abandoned the Canglan Sect, is known to everyone. I, Bai Feng, would naturally not know you."

Bai Feng crossed his arms and looked Zhou Ke'er up and down. "You're more like a member of the Demonic Sect than anyone else in our sect. However, judging from your current condition, you don't seem to be doing very well."

Chen Yulu couldn't get a word in edgewise, but when he saw the familiar scene, he realized that the monster that had forcibly possessed Lan Yanran had revived and was eagerly putting Lan Yanran into a deep sleep, taking over her body...

Thinking of this, Chen Yulu couldn't help but show a worried look in his eyes, but he knew very well that there was nothing he could do.

Zhou Ke'er glanced at Chen Yulu without leaving a trace, noticing his undisguised expression. Confirming that he was completely fooled and believed her fabricated lies, she decided to ignore him for the time being. Looking at Bai Feng before her, she gave a mocking smile: "Since you know me, why would you say such foolish things? Have you forgotten that many of those who have a deep-seated hatred for me were forced to join the Demonic Sect? You want to protect me? How? Do you think you're the Demonic Sect's leader? Or the young leader?"

"Heh, you recognize me! I am indeed the young sect leader of the Demonic Sect. How about it? As long as you agree to join our Demonic Sect, those people are no match for you. I can easily take care of them for you."

Bai Feng seemed completely unconcerned about why Zhou Ke'er's personality had suddenly changed so drastically. He even raised his chin at Zhou Ke'er with an air of confidence and continued to recruit her.

"That's really interesting..."

Zhou Ke'er looked Bai Feng up and down a few times, then secretly sent him a message saying, "Let me see!" She said casually, "This is really strange. There's no such thing as love without a reason. Unsolicited kindness is either for ulterior motives or theft... So, what's your purpose in doing this? And if I do as you say, what will be the price?"

At the same time, Bai Feng's basic information also appeared before Zhou Ke'er.

[Skill activated, consuming 5% of player "Zhou Ke'er's" sanity]

[Target to be investigated: NPC "Bai Feng"]

Name: Bai Feng

Type: NPC

[Strength: Eastern Cultivation System - Nascent Soul Great Perfection]

[Stamina: 70%]

[Abnormal Status: Poisoned by Gu]

Oh open?

Zhou Ke'er subconsciously raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly... The guy Bai Feng in front of her doesn't seem to be in good condition either... Is he being chased here because he's been poisoned by Gu?

"Why do you do this?"

Bai Feng was completely unaware that Zhou Ke'er had discovered his state, and even gave a smug smirk, "Of course it's because you're good-looking."

"That doesn't make sense either. Among those who were framed by me and then joined the Demonic Sect, there were some very beautiful female cultivators."

Zhou Ke'er tapped her lower lip with her right index finger, giving an innocent look that said, "Really? I don't believe it."

"you..."

Bai Feng frowned, not expecting this answer. Just as he was about to say something more, Zhou Ke'er suddenly seemed to have discovered something. While looking at him casually, she added slowly, "Besides... aren't you also suffering from Gu poison and barely able to protect yourself? Under these circumstances, you're still trying to recruit me. I definitely don't believe you if you say there's no conspiracy involved."

"Ha... As expected of Lan Yanran, her observation skills are truly amazing."

Bai Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression shifting for a few seconds, but he ultimately sighed with relief. The carefree, greasy smirk on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression: "It seems that although your cultivation has greatly declined, your condition is still quite good... That's good. Then I'll tell you the truth. Like you, I was also chased all the way here and fled into this inheritance land to hide."

"Those bastards, while my father was in seclusion, tried to seize power and even attempted to kill me. Luckily, I had a backup plan, which allowed me to escape here..."

Bai Feng's eyes flashed with resentment. "But even so, once the time limit in this secret realm expires and I'm forcibly teleported out, I'll still be unable to escape their siege. The consequences are unpredictable... Unless, I can obtain the inheritance of this secret realm, or some benefit sufficient to escape this trouble..."

"Oh, so you want to team up with me?"

Zhou Ke'er pursed her lips, crossed her arms, and looked Bai Feng up and down. "But... I can't think of any benefit for us in doing this. First of all, my cultivation has dropped significantly, and you're afflicted with Gu poison. Either of us would just be a burden to the other. Secondly... we're both being hunted by enemies. In other words... if we join forces, we'll not only be a burden to each other, but we might also bring additional danger. After a rational analysis, I know that doing this is pointless."

"Ha, you don't need to test me. I'm not that stupid."

Bai Feng smiled helplessly, "Although I've been poisoned by the Gu, my cultivation level is still a solid Nascent Soul Grand Perfection stage. And while your cultivation has greatly decreased, your keen observation, reasoning ability, and cunning haven't diminished, have they? Not to mention that black mist that suddenly appeared on you just now—that's something that even makes my heart tremble. It's definitely not that simple..."

Zhou Ke'er curled the corners of her lips and stretched lazily, seemingly unconcerned. "Alright, since you've put it that way, I naturally have no problem with it... However, if we encounter any danger..."

"If we encounter a danger that we can't handle even if we join forces, if it's someone coming to seek revenge, then I'll run away. If it's someone coming to kill me, you can also slip away, how about that?"

Bai Feng shrugged and immediately understood what Zhou Ke'er meant.

"That would be perfect!"

Zhou Ke'er smiled and nodded, indicating her complete agreement.

Chen Yulu was left standing there dumbfounded, completely unaware of the loud conspiracy that had just taken place.

## Chapter 391, Section 386: The Villainous Female Supporting Character's Superb Acting Skills (Part 3)

"No...no! This won't do! Even Senior Lan herself would never want to do this!"

Just then, Chen Yulu suddenly couldn't help but speak up to stop him. He looked at Zhou Ke'er with a serious expression, then turned to Bai Feng and said angrily, "You! Didn't you just hear everything? The one occupying Senior Lan's body right now isn't her, but some weird monster that came from who-knows-where!"

Zhou Ke'er narrowed her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yulu is quite convinced. He originally thought that Bai Feng's interruption might cause his image to change so quickly, which might arouse Chen Yulu's suspicion. But now it seems there's no need to worry.

"So what? All I need is to join forces with 'Lan Yanran'. As for whether Lan Yanran is actually Lan Yanran... what does that have to do with me? Fellow Daoist, what do you think? Would you care about such a thing?"

Bai Feng smiled broadly, and at the end, he turned to look at Zhou Ke'er as if seeking her opinion.

"Of course I have no objection. It doesn't matter how things turn out, right? As long as I am Lan Yanran now, isn't that enough?"

Zhou Ke'er also smiled with narrowed eyes, but her smile was chilling.

In an instant, the entire dark room was filled with Zhou Ke'er and Bai Feng's cheerful laughter.

But Chen Yulu felt a chill run down his spine, and in an instant, his hair stood on end. An uncontrollable feeling of falling into an abyss surged into his heart.

"And... how dare a mere kid who just reached the Golden Core stage question me in such a tone? He's got some nerve!"

Bai Feng looked at Chen Yulu, whose forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat, his smile undiminished, but his tone became even colder, "Although I don't know why you've been following Lan Yanran, it doesn't seem to be of your own volition, does it? Since that's the case... this young master will take pity on you and give you this chance. You can get lost now! How about it?"

Under the oppressive aura of Bai Feng, who was at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, Chen Yulu's hands and feet felt uncontrollably cold and numb. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, and when he heard Bai Feng tell him to get lost, he almost turned around and ran without thinking.

But at that moment, Zhou Ke'er's helpless appearance flashed through his mind.

No... If he leaves too, who will be able to help the real Lan Yanran?! Even though they were just strangers, and she was even threatened and coerced by another being who had taken over her body, Chen Yulu... for some reason, simply cannot give up on Lan Yanran!

"No...no! I can't..."

Chen Yulu mustered his courage, looked directly into Bai Feng's cold eyes, and stammered.

However, he had only said a few words when Zhou Ke'er interrupted him.

Zhou Ke'er took a few steps toward Bai Feng, seemingly casually brushing off a non-existent speck of dust from his shoulder. A dangerous smile played on her lips, her voice alluring yet chillingly cold. "Hey, I'm telling you... this guy is my prisoner. Who gave you the right to boss him around? Or... do you want to be above me? You've got some nerve."

Chen Yulu was startled upon hearing this, never expecting that Lan Yanran, whose body was now possessed by a strange entity, would speak up for him. He was completely confused about what was going on.

Bai Feng narrowed his eyes, showing no extra emotion, but still maintaining his smile, "Oh dear, Miss Lan, why are you in such a hurry? I was just teasing that fellow Daoist because he looked kind. There was no malice in it. After all, we're in the same boat now, and we should help each other."

"My people are not people you can joke about so easily. You don't... actually think you're something special, do you?"

Zhou Ke'er's smile vanished instantly, leaving only an icy expression. Her sharp gaze pierced Bai Feng like a sword. "Get your facts straight! You're the only one who's a grasshopper."

"Even if your cultivation level has dropped significantly, I am still at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?"

Bai Feng squinted, and his smile gradually faded.

"Even though my cultivation level has dropped significantly now, you are still at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

Zhou Ke'er, with a cold face, repeated Bai Feng's words, word by word.

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point. Even Chen Yulu, who was just standing to the side and was affected by the commotion, was now so overwhelmed that he could hardly breathe.

However, this didn't last long. Suddenly, Zhou Ke'er and Bai Feng burst into laughter in unison, filling the dark room with a joyful atmosphere.

"Miss Lan, you are truly fascinating!"

"Likewise, you're quite the fun guy."

The tense atmosphere instantly turned into a harmonious one. Chen Yulu, standing to the side, had no idea what Zhou Ke'er and Bai Feng were doing. They seemed to be angry one moment and happy the next, and then they were both angry on the surface but still arguing with each other. It was as if they were possessed by demons and had gone mad, their emotions were unpredictable and crazy.

This sent chills down his spine, and he began to doubt whether his decision to stay was the right one.

"You've rested enough, haven't you? There's no point in staying here any longer. Let's go, let's go out now."

Finally, Zhou Ke'er stopped laughing and said, "After all, there's no way I can recover from my injuries here, and your poison can't be cured either."

"That's quite true. However, if you were to drag your body into competing with those so-called geniuses of the righteous path for the inheritance, not only would you have no chance of winning, but you might even lose your life there..."

Bai Feng shook a storage bag he'd pulled out from who-knows-where. "Unfortunately, I'm completely out of supplies right now, and even all my personal magical artifacts are ruined. Only my last natal magic weapon is still being nurtured in my spiritual palace, so I can't use it for now. Therefore..."

"So we can only explore this place of inheritance while 'borrowing' some elixirs and magical artifacts from the fellow Daoists who happen to meet us."

Zhou Ke'er's lips curled up slightly as she walked towards the narrow exit of the dark room, asking without turning her head, "What do you think?"

"Borrow? I remember, don't you righteous cultivators always borrow and return?"

Bai Feng followed in Zhou Ke'er's footsteps and even had the mood to make a few teasing remarks.

"That's natural, but... you don't have to return things borrowed from the dead, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke'er turned her head and looked at Bai Feng, her eyes and brows filled with a gentle smile, and the corners of her mouth curved into a captivating and alluring arc.

Chen Yulu, still stunned at the back, looked at the bizarre scene and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

But he had no choice but to rub his arms, grit his teeth, and follow Zhou Ke'er and Bai Feng, who were loudly plotting.
