It's such a contradictory feeling...
the other side.
Song Yu was completely numb.
She was confident she could compete with the others... after all, her future was promising!
But this one in front of me... what kind of divine beauty is this? What kind of divine figure is this? What kind of celestial beauty is this...?
"Xiaoyu, this is for you."
Lucia presented the gift to Fan Xiao's parents, offered her words of comfort, and then pulled Song Yu aside to hand her a small gift box.
Song Yu snorted coldly, pretending to be unmoved—even if you are a god, I, Song Yu, cannot show weakness!
Until... Lucia leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's a handsome picture of your brother inside. I took it for him."
"Sister, you are so beautiful! You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen!"
Song Yu praised him sincerely.
“Hehe,” Lucia pinched Song Yu’s slightly chubby cheek: “Xiao Yu is also very cute. Let me tell you a secret… Your brother actually likes petite and cute girls.”
"Uh...really?" Song Yu blinked.
"Of course, he keeps a bunch of lolis in his dungeon, isn't that proof enough?" Lucia chuckled softly. "Of course, being petite and cute isn't enough, you also need to have some skill..."
Song Yu was quickly captured.
Fan Xiao, who was not far away, wrote down all the slanderous words Lucia said about him, and planned to find some time in private to teach her a lesson.
……
Lucia had only been there a short time when she quickly won over Van Shaw's family.
Only Alpha's words, "Is this an attempt to bribe everyone so he can seize the position of Lord Fan Xiao's empress?", made her eyes twitch.
She didn't have any good solutions for Alpha, who had no desires or wants.
This guy has a foul mouth and a bizarre thought process, which is one thing, but the key is that he says whatever comes to mind without caring about the situation or other people's feelings... Lucia thinks it's best to keep a distance from this kind of person for now.
Alpha's words, besides making Lucia feel slightly embarrassed, also attracted the attention of Lu Xining, Lu Baizhi, and Yin.
The three of them signed a "tripartite agreement," so how could they tolerate outsiders interfering in this situation... It seems like it's already beyond their control.
If that's the case, then let's sign a "four-party agreement".
Lucia seemed to have come prepared, and she directly countered the open and covert suppression from Lu Xining and the other two, as if she really had the idea of vying for the "official wife".
However, she eventually succumbed to Lu Baizhi's threat, "Be careful, or I'll curse you," and willingly admitted defeat.
There's no way around it. After witnessing Fan Xiao's outrageous feats accomplished through sheer luck, who wouldn't be afraid of a curse based on luck?
Fortunately, Lu Baizhi is kind-hearted. She only gave her a small threat to stop her from being arrogant and did not actually intend to curse people in secret... which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Thus, Lucia was forced to abide by the rules set by Lu Xining and the other two, and signed a "four-party agreement" that was considered fair... which meant that each person would take turns for one day.
After gaining some success, she became a bit arrogant and directly mocked Lu Xining, who often criticized her, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Speaking of which, it's almost been a year since we met, Xining. So much time has passed, but time hasn't left a single mark on you... It's truly enviable. How do you maintain your appearance? How can you not change at all?"
As she said this, her gaze fell on Lu Xining's chest.
Well, the meaning is self-evident.
She even sighed and added, "Unlike me, who has been troubled by the passive changes brought about by psionic energy throughout this year. Although it is becoming more and more perfect, which is a good thing, but... there are more flies swarming around me, which is so annoying... Sigh, I wish this change could stop."
"Ha ha……"
Lu Xining refused to tolerate the trashy saintess and sneered, replying, "Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. Some people are usually unscrupulous, promiscuous, and slutty, so they are indeed very easy to attract flies."
"Oh, I misdescribed it. It should be a bee, not a fly."
Lucia smiled brightly and spoke elegantly: "The bees always buzz around the most vibrant flower, and the flower feels helpless, even though it's just blooming normally."
"Xi Ning, you said that even though they are all flowers, why do some flowers not only bloom big, but also have very rounded petals, while other flowers... even when they are fully open, look like they have withered?"
"That's...so strange."
While she was speaking, her gaze never left Lu Xining's chest.
"Tea-like and pretentious..." Lu Xining was too lazy to compete with the trashy saintess in tea ceremony, so she directly attacked her personally: "Are you comparing yourself to a flower? Well, that's true. Flowers are pretty but useless. Once you pick them, they wither. That's just like you."
"Hehe, if that's what you think, you might be disappointed." Lucia said with a victorious smile, "Not only has my flower not withered, but Fan Xiao also often helps water it. It's full of nutrients from him, so how could it wither?"
"Oh? How did Fan Xiao water it?" Lu Xining glanced at Lucia's lips, then looked down and asked, "Did he water it from above or from below? If from below... did he apply fertilizer directly? Or did he mix in his saliva beforehand?"
"..."
Lucia was taken aback.
No... does this little girl really have absolutely no sense of propriety or shame?
How dare you expect me to answer this kind of question in front of other people...!?
Does it have a cat disease?
"Some people's stamens haven't even been touched by Fan Xiao's saliva, have they?" Lu Xining said with a contemptuous look. "They're so happy after being given some ordinary fertilizer. They probably haven't even seen what high-grade fertilizer looks like... How pathetic."
Lucia: "..."
Do I need your pity, you pervert?!
What do you guys usually play? You guys are really good at having fun... Even with Lucia's composure, she felt her cheeks getting a little hot at this moment.
It's not that she has a bad mentality... well, having not been in a relationship for over twenty years, her mental resilience is indeed a bit lacking.
And there's an even more crucial point—Fan Xiao's parents are at home!
Doesn't this young girl feel any psychological pressure or burden at all when she says such things in such a loud voice?
As someone caught up in this controversy, Lucia just wanted to find a quiet place to calm down... This girl, Lu Xining, is a bit scary!
Forget it, it's best to avoid provoking this guy in the future.
"Hehe... Come to think of it, this is my first time officially visiting Darling's hometown. What kind of world is this..."
Lucia glanced around before finally settling her gaze on Sakura, and quickly said, "Sakura, come with me for a walk."
She fled from Lu Xining, who seemed ready to spew more outrageous remarks.
……
The fourth day since returning to Spirit City.
Fan Xiao's mental potential has finally officially broken through to the S-level range.
He originally thought he could break through in about a week, but counting the time he spent in the dungeon... it's been almost two weeks now.
The actual breakthrough speed was much slower than he had expected.
It seems that the higher the mental limit, the more difficult it is to break through, and it can no longer be calculated using the previous additive method.
However... Fan Xiao's pleasant mood was not affected much by the increase in the breakthrough time.
Breaking through to the S-level range means that he only needs to accumulate "world fortune" for a month or close to a month, and then combine it with "his own fortune" to awaken B-level spiritual energy.
C-level psionic energy can be awakened directly after accumulating for one day or less.
To be honest, C-level psionic energy wasn't of much help to him.
Even if multiple psionic powers are combined... because the upper limit of C-rank is too low, and because the miraculous nature of the concept behind C-rank is too weak, the combined effect is estimated to barely reach the level of A-rank talent.
But this is only the first step towards becoming "all-rounder".
It is of great significance!
On that very day, Youbai found Fan Xiao.
During this time, Youbai, who was a bit bored, had been traveling around the 010 district to learn about Fan Xiao's hometown. She was quite curious about her young lady's junior brother and the male master she might have to serve in the future.
Yes, unlike Sa Sa's jade-like appearance, as a maid, she has a more normal girl's mentality—she often fantasizes in private about what kind of person the young lady's future Daoist partner will be.
After all, according to custom, she was supposed to go with them...
After meeting Fan Xiao, Fan Xiao became her primary object of imagination.
Of course, she could never tell Fan Xiao these thoughts.
She contacted Fan Xiao because she had received a message from Yu Xuezhao.
"How was your trip? Did you have fun?"
The arrival of Youbai caused Fan Xiao to temporarily put aside his research on C-level psionic awakening.
"I'm so happy, boss. It's rare to have such a relaxing time with the lady not around."
You Bai revealed a gentle smile, giving off a perfectly appropriate sense of poise.
They must have received specialized etiquette training.
She continued, "Boss, many of the legends and stories passed down in the history of your zone match the style of node C04 very well. Node C04... the world where Miss and I grew up, to use the local terminology... is probably what is called a world of immortals and heroes."
She didn't dwell on the topic, but changed the subject and told Fan Xiao directly, "Miss recently sent me a message using a higher-level Justice Badge, asking me to pass on a message to you, Boss."
Chapter 769 Miss Chaos Stole the House
"You have a message for me?"
Fan Xiao was taken aback and subconsciously took out his Justice Badge to check... There was no message from Yu Xue Zhao.
So why not just send it to him directly...? Fan Xiao resisted the urge to ask this question and waited for Youbai's reply.
“The young lady asked you to take some time to go to node C04 and do her a favor,” Youbai said. “However, she didn’t say what the favor was or if there was a time limit. And she hasn’t contacted me since then.”
She gently shook her head and said, "My badge of justice is of ordinary level, so I can't contact you across so many nodes. Therefore... you'll have to check the specific information yourself, boss."
“I don’t even have a high-level badge of justice,” Fan Xiao shook his head.
The superior badge, one size larger than the standard badge, is possessed only by the highest-ranking members of the Living Tribunal. The reason Yu Xue Zhao possesses one... is probably because she was Tina's first student, and the Tribunal showed her respect.
Fan Xiao had previously wondered why Tina hadn't gotten him one. Putting aside the fact that he was an S-class psionic potential user, given his personality and character... wasn't he worthy of having one?
Now he understood that it wasn't that Tina was reluctant to part with him, but rather... that his proud and aloof teacher didn't want him to be exposed to the scrutiny of the higher-ups at the Court of Life too early.
"Boss, you don't have any either?"
Youbai was somewhat surprised.
In her view, since Fan Xiao was so highly regarded by Miss Tina, he should have received treatment similar to that of the young lady...
"It's not something precious, so it's fine if we don't have it."
Fan Xiao said in a slightly indifferent tone, "Besides, it's just helping out, it's nothing, no need to ask so many details."
For him now, there aren't many things that can stump him. Even if there were... such high-level matters, the possibility of Yu Xue Zhao encountering them is very small, and even if she did, she wouldn't come to him first; she'd probably go straight to Tina.
After all, Xiaoyu was unaware of his current strength.
The only thing he needs to worry about is the time... He's actually quite busy right now and can't find the time to go to node C04 for the time being.
It all depends on how anxious Yu Xue Zhao is.
At the same time, Fan Xiao finally understood why Xiao Yu had gone to the trouble of having Youbai relay his message.
Xiaoyu is... well, quite proud of her, and often treats him and Xiaoyin with the attitude of "an elder sister is like a mother".
Given this mindset, Xiaoyu felt somewhat pressured to directly ask him for help.
It has nothing to do with how well you know each other; it's purely a psychological factor at play.
Thinking of this, Fan Xiao took out the Key of Mammon, found "Young Fan's Teacher" in his friend list, and sent a message: "Teacher Tina, is there a problem with Senior Sister Yu? Can you help me contact her?"
Which cross-node communication platform is the best?
If Mammon is second to none, no one dares to claim first place.
Even the most ordinary Key of Mammon card can connect to the forum network of all nodes.
This platform is absolutely unbeatable!
However... it feels rather ironic that a member of the Living Tribunal has to rely on the information platform of another super-organization to contact his colleagues.
Fan Xiao waited for a while but did not receive a reply.
I don't know if Tina just didn't see it, or... if she found out about the previous "head-patting incident" and doesn't want to talk to him for the time being?
Fan Xiao thought about it and felt that the latter possibility was not high.
