The Final Story of Miss Weird

Xuanyuan Muxue's heart skipped a beat. She thought her mother, who was always clean, would be angry because of the hasty contact with a resurrected corpse, but she didn't expect her mother to just giggle and show no resistance.

"You're so cute, what's your name?"

Mu Xue's mother narrowed her eyes, stretched out her finger and hooked Luo Ling's chin, as if she was enjoying the delicate touch of the down.

"Just call me Black Crow."

Luo Ling turned her head away uncomfortably. She should have been the unbridled one, but Mu Xue's mother seemed more familiar.

"But you are obviously red." A look of surprise flashed across Mu Xue's mother's face.

"Then, Red Crow is also fine." Luo Ling replied after a slight hesitation.

The reason why it is called Black Crow is because this is the name given to it by Xuanyuan Muxue... However, they are just nicknames anyway, so there is no difference.

"Mother?"

Xuanyuan Muxue didn't expect that her mother and Miss Black Crow would get along so harmoniously that she didn't know how to continue the topic for a moment.

"Just say it directly, Xue'er, don't worry. I think this child is very well-behaved and doesn't look like a bad person."

As Mu Xue's mother spoke, she continued to look at Luo Ling with a smile. Her right eye, which had been tightly closed due to the injury, opened slightly, revealing a terrifying black pupil.

At this moment, Luo Ling felt a very familiar chill, a familiarity that almost penetrated into her bones.

"...It's the end of the world!"

In the destroyed right eye of Mu Xue's mother, Luo Ling sensed the breath of "doomsday"!

Perhaps because of these injuries, Mu Xue's mother was able to slightly utilize some of the power of "Doomsday".

This is the fourth person Luo Ling has met who can wield the power of "doomsday". The others are herself, her sister, and the woman who is a doomsday believer.

It seems...

Long before Victoria, the Great Xia Imperial City had already come into contact with the path of "doomsday" and even fought against the beings who practiced it.

It is estimated that the severed limbs were also contaminated by "Doomsday". If this is true, they can only be cut off. If they are left, their existence will be completely plunged into "Doomsday". Luo Ling has experienced this firsthand.

"Yes."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Muxue's expression eased a little.

With her mother's words as a reassurance, her anxiety about deciding to keep the messenger on her own initiative was alleviated a lot.

In fact, according to the consistent practice of the Xuanyuan family, someone with a rather uncertain attitude like Miss Black Crow would definitely be strictly monitored, and if she met a more severe elder, she would be treated with more extreme means.

Perhaps it was due to the long-term severe situation in the Great Xia Imperial City, the place of origin in the past. The Xuanyuan family has always believed in the evil of human nature. They would only think that such an act of tipping off someone else had other intentions, and would not think that it was sincere help.

This may trigger a series of operations that are not very popular with outsiders. In serious cases, soul-searching may be used directly to obtain more information in the most direct and credible way.

- In other words, it is what the unrestricted old people in Victoria would do in the past. It is simple, rough and direct, but very effective.

Of course, Xuanyuan Muxue's actions might also allow people with ulterior motives, or even those who want to harm the Xuanyuan family, to escape, which is why she is worried.

But now, after hearing her mother's comment, Xuanyuan Muxue knew that her worries were unnecessary.

After the mother's right eye was polluted, she could directly sense the soul and consciousness, and easily distinguish whether a person is good or bad.

Of course, the definitions of good and bad are usually vague, but it is easy to distinguish between purely good and thoroughly bad. At least if the mother can treat you with such a gentle attitude, even if it is not purely good, it will not be very bad.

After exchanging glances with Luo Ling, Xuanyuan Muxue told him the whole story in detail, including the subsequent conversation with Luo Ling.

Mu Xue's mother listened quietly and carefully to Xuanyuan Mu Xue's story, while her right hand was restlessly stroking Luo Ling's feathers.

Although her movements were gentle, Luo Ling inexplicably felt an unmistakable sense of intimidation, vaguely obvious but definitely there.

This mother...doesn't seem to be very "gentle".

"What am I thinking about? This is from the Zhan Kuang family..."

Luo Ling wanted to leave, but now it seemed that he could not leave.

...It doesn't matter since it's just a bird body made casually.

Thinking of this, Luo Ling felt a little relieved.

But then again, did Mu Xue's mother often stroke the bird's feathers like this? Luo Ling felt that this action was quite comfortable and straightened his back slightly.

After patiently listening to her daughter's story, Mu Xue's mother paused for a moment, smiled softly, and nodded slightly.

"I understand. You did the right thing. Wu'er is always too reckless. There are many restless children in the family recently. If you act rashly, I'm afraid you will get into trouble."

"This matter involves many people. These 'little thieves' are probably from powerful backgrounds. This is why they have been hiding their identities."

Mu Xue's mother glanced at Luo Ling on her shoulder vaguely, as if she thought of something, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly again.

"My great-uncle said that we should wait for three days until they return from the Buzhou Ruins before making a decision." Xuanyuan Muxue's expression was still worried, which was why she hesitated whether to reveal the existence of Miss Black Crow.

When the uncle heard the news, he seemed very angry and said directly that he didn't want to worship his ancestors anymore and was going to come back with weapons to dig up the graves of these bastards. But he calmed down after a while and asked Xuanyuan Muxue not to make it public and to suppress the matter for the time being.

But what Xuanyuan Muxue is worried about now is that if they delay for a few days, these tomb robbers may have succeeded.

If Miss Black Crow could tell me more information, perhaps my uncle would make a different decision.

"My uncle is always like this. I know him very well." Mu Xue's mother was not surprised. "Maybe he will be impulsive when we first meet, but he will make a calm judgment soon. As the head of the family, all we have to do is trust his decision.

"As for this lovely child..."

Mu Xue's mother gently held Luo Ling in the palm of her hand. Perhaps because the fluff made her feel itchy, her pleasant and light laughter rang out again.

After a moment, Mu Xue's mother narrowed her eyes, a look of nostalgia flashed across her face, but the corners of her mouth could not hide the degree of her smile.

"Just stay here with me for now."

Xuanyuan Muxue hesitated for a moment. For some reason, she always felt that her mother had an inexplicable attention to Miss Black Crow, and it seemed that her attention was on Miss Black Crow herself rather than the information she possessed.

...Why is this?

Xuanyuan Muxue really couldn't figure it out. No matter what, this Miss Black Crow who was currently here was just a corpse that had been reassembled using some kind of necromancy.

In fact, the ability used by Luo Ling was different from what Xuanyuan Muxue imagined.

What Luo Ling did was to use the mycelium left behind to completely devour the entire body of the black crow, and then use the weak power gained from the devouring to reshape his body.

Rather than saying that this is a corpse, it is better to say that it is a new body. This is why Mu Xue's mother, who obviously loves cleanliness, does not object to the current Luo Ling... There are few people in the world who are cleaner than Miss Black Crow.

"Yes, mother."

Xuanyuan Muxue nodded slightly, and her eyes couldn't help but stay on Luo Ling, as if she wanted to see what exactly it was about Miss Black Crow that attracted her mother.

But soon, Xuanyuan Muxue left. It was not because her mother forced her to leave, but as the second elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, she had many things to do on weekdays. She could not be like her mother who had retired and had enough free time to cultivate her mind by planting flowers and plants.

Only Mu Xue's mother and Luo Ling were left in the room. They stared at each other. After a moment, Mu Xue's mother spoke,

"The daughter of the emperor of "Xihe Kingdom", the Lord of Qingqiu of "Qingqiu Kingdom", the Lord of Thunder of "Leize", the fairy of "Penglai Island"..."

She slowly said these names, then smiled at Luo Ling, her slightly opened right eye exuding a bit of scary color, and said lightly, "Who is it?"

"......"

There was no expression on Hei Ya's face, and even his eyes became dull.

When Mu Xue's mother said the first name, Luo Ling already realized what the other party wanted to do.

She wasn't asking questions, she was looking for answers.

She didn't need Luo Ling to answer, it was enough for Luo Ling to hear the question.

But Luo Ling directly cut off the connection with this body, not giving Mu Xue's mother any chance to see the real situation.

Mu Xue's mother realized this and a look of regret appeared on her face.

"it's a pity."

She raised her hand and rubbed Luo Ling's feathers, saying,

"Nice to meet you. My name is Xuanyuan Linglong. You can just call me Sister Linglong."

"It's nice to meet you, a little bird that looks a bit like Jingwei."

Chapter 5 "Legend" and "Presentation" (k)

Xuanyuan Linglong.

The mother of Xuanyuan Muwu and Xuanyuan Muxue, a senior member of the Xuanyuan family who has retired early due to disability, seems to have some ability to see through the essence of things through her right eye that was contaminated by "Doomsday".

But even putting this aside, Luo Ling was not surprised that she could recognize her current appearance.

The reason why Luo Ling chose to use this slightly modified "Jingwei" appearance was that he wanted to use the face of "Jingwei" to gain popularity with the Xuanyuan family.

Anyway, "Jingwei" belongs to the Iris family, so she shouldn't mind Luo Ling borrowing her name temporarily.

However, to Luo Ling's surprise, Xuanyuan Linglong saw through Luo Ling's true nature at first sight, and found that he "only had some resemblance to Jingwei in appearance."

Because Luo Ling used the ability of Puppet Song to reshape the black crow's corpse, it has little to do with "Wu Yuan".

However, even after noticing this, Xuanyuan Linglong's attitude towards Luo Ling did not seem to change much. She was still teasing her with her fingers, looking like she was walking a bird, as if the person who had just casually mentioned several well-known names in the Great Xia Imperial City was not herself.

Through the few words revealed by Xuanyuan Muxue, Xuanyuan Linglong had narrowed down the scope of the "tomb robbers" to a certain extent and directly listed the names.

If Luo Ling had not cut off the connection with the black crow's body in time, Xuanyuan Linglong would have been able to lock onto the target person in the first moment. Unfortunately, Luo Ling's reaction was fast enough, so Xuanyuan Linglong's little trick failed.

Unlike Xuanyuan Muxue who had just taken office, Xuanyuan Linglong was well aware of the undercurrents hidden beneath the peaceful surface of the many forces in the Great Xia Imperial City. Coupled with Victoria's destruction, some restless existences had emerged in recent days, even affecting the Xuanyuan family.

Countless eyes, openly and covertly, are staring at the Xuanyuan family at this moment. If any party is involved in the investigation, it will become a quagmire that is difficult to escape from. This is not a situation that can be dealt with by mindless recklessness and fighting mania.

The head of the Xuanyuan family was also well aware of this, which is why he asked Xuanyuan Muxue to suppress this shocking news for the time being. Before confirming who exactly came to dig up his ancestral grave, it would be best not to alarm the enemy too much.

As for the so-called bellicosity, the Xuanyuan family regards it more as a means rather than an end. This is the difference between them and the Knights Chosen, a group of real lunatics.

Therefore, under these conditions, the existence of the so-called taboo "Tiannu Ba" is relatively secondary, and we can carefully consider its truth later.

The top priority for the Xuanyuan family now is to curb these people who are digging up their ancestors' graves before causing more chaos...

Xuanyuan Linglong held her chin and stared at Miss Black Crow, who was standing on the table like a fool. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was appreciating Luo Ling's appearance at the moment.

I don't know how long it took, she suddenly sighed, a hint of nostalgia flashed across her face, and said,

"It has been many years since I last saw Jingwei. If it weren't for you, little black crow, I would have almost forgotten what he looked like."

"...Do you know Him?" Luo Ling asked after recovering a little.

She was actually very concerned about the murder of "Jingwei" in the past, and wanted to know what happened, why "Jingwei" was seriously injured and dying, and why the "Fajiu Mountain" kingdom of God ignited the endless "Samadhi True Fire"...

Of course, Luo Ling's interest was not purely in order to find out the cause of Jingwei's injury so that she could heal him and bring Iris or even Jingwei back to her own kingdom of God to be a gardener. The main reason was that she was very curious.

Well, just curious.

It’s a pity that the only eyewitness so far, Miss Iris, was as stupid then as she is now. She was confused from beginning to end, knew nothing about anything, and didn’t even know what crisis she was facing.

"I know Him, but He doesn't know me." A strange look flashed across Xuanyuan Linglong's face, and she said, "Wait, Little Black Crow, when you say this, do you think... He is a god with personality?"

Beings like Xuemei are gods with personalities, and can also be called human-like monsters.

"...Uh, isn't it?" Luo Ling asked back, but she was also not sure.

Mainly in the memory of Miss Iris, the "Jingwei" god's favorite, all the behaviors of this "Jingwei" master were quite humane, even including the fact that he was willing to sacrifice himself to save Iris' life in the end. This moved Luo Ling and made him feel empathy.

I have to say, perhaps because of Miss Iris's filter, Luo Ling has a favorable impression of "Jingwei", who should be considered a "high-risk and weird" existence.

"Two hundred miles further north is the Fajiu Mountain, on which there are many mulberry trees. There is a bird that looks like a crow, with a patterned head, a white beak, and bare feet. It is called the Jingwei, and its cry is self-deprecating. It is the daughter of Emperor Yan, named Nvwa. Nvwa swam in the East Sea and drowned, so she became the Jingwei. She often carried wood and stones from the West Mountain to bury them in the East Sea."

Xuanyuan Linglong softly recited the well-known "Jingwei" legend, then looked at Luo Ling and said quietly,

"Even in the legend, 'Jingwei' is no longer a 'Nuwa'. She is the resentful ghost of the deceased Nuwa. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the embodiment of obsession.

"Not to mention that the "Fajiu Mountain" of the past was destroyed because of Him, and the mountains collapsed and the sea sank, living up to the reputation of the "Mountain and Sea" with the power of "disaster."

From the beginning to the end, "Mountains and Seas" are the powers on the path of "Disaster"...not "elements".

"Jingwei" is a "high-risk and weird" person, and always has been.

"I am more interested in you, Little Black Crow. You are clearly using the image of Jingwei, but you don't seem to be a native of the Great Xia Imperial City."

Xuanyuan Linglong moved closer to Luo Ling, with some inexplicable emotions revealed in her intact left eye.

"You don't seem to be able to distinguish the difference between 'legend' and 'present world', so you think 'legend' is a story that once happened in the Great Xia Imperial City... This is actually confusing the concepts between the two.

"Those who would make such a mistake are probably the barbarians from Valhalla... Oh no, Victoria is a possibility too, but I don't know much about that place. However, the Xuanyuan family also has a branch dealing with Victoria, so maybe they know something.

"Your ability should be able to shape flesh and blood to a certain extent. You have the power of "death". Do you use it with the help of sacrificial vessels? It should be more than that. Or you have mastered a special technique that integrates the power of sacrificial vessels. Perhaps this can narrow the scope a little..."

Xuanyuan Linglong seemed to be muttering to herself, but when Luo Ling heard her words, he just broke out in a cold sweat.
