Chapter 155 Funny Word
Fang Yu fought the urge to use her space and leave Mo Li in this dimension. She paced inside her room. Just the thought of Mo Li personally killing the queen and summoning that divine creature is enough to give her anxiety. It was a good thing that she chose to accompany him in killing the queen.
She bit her lips, arms crossed across her chest as she continued pacing. She couldn’t help but feel nervous about this situation. What if Mo Li would discover that she wasn’t the real soul inside this body? Would he... Would he kill her and capture her soul? Just the thought of it made her shiver.
She waved her hand. Almost instantly, a portal appeared in front of her. Should she leave him behind? Then she waved her hand again, and the portal disappeared. For some reason, she can’t do it. That would make her look more suspicious, she convinced herself and started pacing again.
Moreover, she wasn’t really sure if Mo Li had a way to travel in between dimensions. What if he would just follow her and capture her? That is just— that sounded too mess up, she decided to calm herself. She had confidence that the robot would be able to hide her.
After a couple more minutes, Fang Yu sat on the bed as she tried to calm her own breathing. She needed to act like nothing was happening and pretend that this was not affecting her in any way. Fang Yu laid on the bed and rested her forearm on her forehead. She needed to act calmly. Then hope that the divine entity won’t be able to answer Mo Li’s question.
"I’m surprised your still here..."
Fang Yu jolted up and stared at Mo Li who suddenly appeared next to the bed. "How was it? Did you kill the queen?"
"She’s dead."
"And the person who— "
"Let’s talk later. For now... we needed to go and kill the Devils then we needed to go home."
"What? Why? Did something happened?"
"I sensed that the artifact that I left to the Sect Master was activated. Meaning... a war has erupted. Let’s go. We needed to hurry."
Fang Yu felt her heart skipped a beat. A war? Then Dong Hu..." The demon prince..." He stared at her, wondering why she was so worried about Dong Hu before he answered.
"He is safe, and I don’t appreciate you worrying for someone else."
"..."
He pulled her out of the bed and held her close against his chest. "Do you understand me?"
Nodding, Fang Yu gulped, calming her racing heart. Mo Li wasn’t showing any signs that he knew something about the robot. She should just relax and protect Dong Hu then... she can move on from this world. Clearly, this Mo Li was too dangerous. She couldn’t stay here any longer.
"Alright... hold my hand. I will share the location of the devil’s lair. Then we can go there and kill everyone."
Fang Yu could only nod at his words. With the current predicament that they were facing, Fang Yu had no time to think about Mo Li’s issue with her soul. Biting her lower lip, Fang Yu closed her eyes and summoned her portal.
Then she and Mo Li disappeared as they went inside.
...
When the two appeared again, they were already inside a cave. The walls were black that immediately reminded her of obsidians. She looked at her surroundings before Mo Li pulled her slowly towards the depths of the cave.
’They have been staying here for the past fifty years, cultivating diligently and growing their strength. The queen said that devils were sent here just right after they turned twenty in devil’s age and they are going to stay here for fifty years before going out and fighting.’
’That’s about five months in the human world.’
’Hmmm.’ He nodded and narrowed his eyes at the candles that littered the walls, illuminating each step that they take. ’You just hide. I can kill them on my own. But you have to prepare your space. After killing them, we will immediately go back to the world of humans.’
’Alright. I understand.’ Fang Yu nodded and stayed silent. Compared to Mo Li, she was indeed very weak.
’Robot. For the quest. Did the King informed the devil about the demon prince and the reincarnator?’ she suddenly asked her system. Now that she was about to leave, she couldn’t let herself miss the chance of earning some coins.
[Quest: Discover King Oscar’s connection to the Devils and the reincarnator. Rewards: Twenty coins. Completed]
She sighed inwardly. At least she already gained a lot of coins in this world. Fang Yu examined the screen that contained the items from the vending machine. Until now, only the first rows. The four items glinted as if silently urging her to buy them.
Well... she would. But she doesn’t have enough coins to do so.
The moment she arrived in this world, she immediately lost some coins when she wasn’t able to provoke Mo Li. Of course, she was able to earn a couple of new coins from the lasts couple of quests. But this wasn’t enough to buy more space.
Fang Yu actually discovered that her space was very important as it will help her transport items from this world to the next world. For instance, this world contains magical potions and pills that could heal any wounds and poisons. Some potions and pills enhanced strength and vitality. Even a potion that would change one’s appearance! Fang Yu had to throw all the crackers in her twelve inches space and store all the potions that she made.
However, her space is currently too small to store important items. Thus, she was only able to store medicines that she could use in another world. There wasn’t even enough space for weapons! How sad. She eyed the flashing name on the vending machine.
’Space- six inches.’ Another six inches increase however, the price was already two hundred coins!
’Hey robot,’ she called out, she felt a little aggrieved when she notice that the prices would actually double once she bought one item! While Fang Yu had enough coins to increase her space, she doesn’t want to risk it as she doesn’t really know if the plot would change its price too.
Previously the plot was only sixty coins. Then in this world, she was able to purchase it for three hundred coins. Seeing the pattern of this cheating system, Fang Yu couldn’t help but feel that the price of the plot would change in the next world too.
She eyed the ’Plot’ and sighed when she saw its current blank price. Apparently, once she purchased the item like the plot, the price would be grayed out and disappear, a sign that she couldn’t purchase it again. Because of this, Fang Yu thought that there should be some conspiracy somewhere.
This system might want her to stay poor forever. Or it wanted her to mess up and fail her mission— something that she couldn’t afford, especially that she already failed four times. One more failure and she’s done for good.
"Alright. Stay here. I will come back once I’m done," Mo Li uttered and disappeared. Seeing this, Fang Yu sighed and continued looking at the screen. Currently, her luck is still negative, but she could already feel its effects on her. She couldn’t wait to make her luck zero.
’Robot, can you show me the rewards for the current mission?’ she asked.
[Quest: Save Dong Hu from the clutches of the reincarnator. World Level: D. Reward: Eight hundred coins.]
Fang Yu’s eyes widened. Eight hundred is big! ’Robot, was it because of the level of the world?’
[No.]
"Then... is it because of the difficulty?"
[Yes.]
She turned silent and bit her lower lip. ’Robot, what would happen if I save Dong Hu? Can I leave immediately?’
[Yes.]
A sigh escaped her lips. Right now, Mo Li is an unexpected variable. He seemed too mysterious, and he wouldn’t stop until he discovers her identity.
’Robot, do you think Mo Li would see through me?’ It was a silly question and she wasn’t expecting the robot to answer her.
To her surprised, the robot uttered. [Yes]
"..." That was really a very honest answer. It made her shiver. ’Then... is there a way to avoid him?’ she asked.
[Yes.]
’How?’
[Leave and forget]
"..." That wasn’t her concern at all. She wanted to know if Mo Li would be able to follow her around! While she had been enjoying herself with him, she couldn’t risk it. She wouldn’t want him to ruin her quests and make her fail her mission. Sex was good, but her survival is more important than something that she would forget very soon.
She sighed and stayed silent. She needed to leave.
For some reason, the thoughts of leaving made her chest hurt. ’That’s weird.’ She uttered inwardly.
"Hey."
Fang Yu turned towards Mo Li. "Is it done?" She forced a smile from her face.
"Yes. Let’s go home." He said.
Fang Yu nodded as she turned her head away. Home. What a funny word.
