Chapter 90 Lin Qingyan's Experience

"These three extraordinary items all seem to be somewhat useful."

Ye Qian temporarily put them away, planning to use them as rewards for any Dusk member who showed promise and performed well in the future. However, for now, aside from the Corpse-Raising Talisman, the other two items seemed quite suitable for her.

If the enemy uses this against her, it will be quite difficult to deal with her once the surveillance of the Mystic Thread is gone.

"I need to find a way to get some items that can be mass-produced."

It would be quite funny if the exchange area remained empty even after a large number of members joined the Dusk faction in the future.

During the day, Ye Qian No. 2 arrived at the school and began trying to find out more information about this world.

After learning some historical details, she became convinced that magic existed in the real world during the Second Era, long ago, but it disappeared for some unknown reason.

Ye Qian then attempted to teleport a small number of magical items from the Kalu World into reality, which seemed to prove this point.

These otherworldly magical items have been weakened to varying degrees here.

Fortunately, in actual use, the degree of weakening is not too exaggerated.

"I've heard that scrolls in the magical world are mass-produced items. Maybe I can take some time to study them."

Ye Qian kept an eye on these things while attending class.

Before I knew it, school was over.

When she got home, she took out her phone and found that someone had called.

"Hello."

Just as he raised his hand to speak, a girl's voice came from the other end.

"Would you like to come to dinner with me tonight? Don't worry, I won't tell you that you are Ye Qian herself."

"Ah..." Ye Qian took a few seconds to realize that the voice belonged to Lin Qingyan.

So far, she's probably the only one among my old classmates who knows who I am.

"Okay, where is it?"

"I'll send you the location."

The location has been sent.

Ye Qian glanced at the location; it was only 3 kilometers away from her home.

Did she call her classmates?

I wonder who they'll be eating with. Could it be that they invited some of their former roommates?

That's unlikely, because her roommate thought Ye Xin was Ye Qian's younger sister, but when she first met Lin Qingyan, she told her that Ye Xin was the older sister.

She later explained to Lin Qingyan that they had agreed to keep it a secret.

"So, in the future, no matter who you meet, you'll say Ye Xin is Ye Qian's sister, right? And what about you? After all, your original form has become a girl."

"Ye Qian, the second younger sister." She added a word after her name on the spot.

"Understood."

Lin Qingyan agreed at the time.

"Forget it, there's no point in worrying about this. Let's go check out the place to eat first."

After changing into a simple black dress and tidying her long hair, Ye Qian stepped out the door.

After hailing a taxi, Ye Qian arrived at her destination in about ten minutes.

Of course, this time there will be a clone protecting you in the dark, just in case.

"This is it."

Looking at the sign, she realized it was a hot pot restaurant. Without thinking too much, she went in as Lin Qingyan had instructed and soon saw three girls sitting by the window in the lobby.

Lin Qingyan sat in the empty seat in the middle.

When Ye Qian came in front of her, she immediately stood up and said, "Come, come, sit down with me. This is Ye Qian's sister."

"Hello." The girl opposite him opened her eyes wide, looking at this beautiful and innocent girl with great surprise.

"See? Am I right? Isn't she super beautiful?" Lin Qingyan said boastfully.

"I believe you, this is so beautiful! Your name is Ye Qian, right? Your brother is usually very low-key in class."

Being low-key means not talking to girls, so without much interaction, girls won't get to know him very well.

Ye Qian could only give an awkward smile.

What was the girl's name again?

Oh, right, Luo Yan, Yin Yu'an.

If it weren't for Lin Qingyan, she and the other person would never have had any contact in their entire lives.

"Everyone's here, let's order some food. Lin Qingyan, it's your turn to treat this time." The girl across from her handed over the menu.

"Let's just get the set meal, for four people, it'll be more convenient. I'll ask the waiter to add more vegetables."

So I called over a passing shop assistant, ordered, and the ingredients were served shortly afterward.

Hot pot with two broths.

Ye Qian said she prefers spicy food.

She carefully took a bite of the soft tofu, turned to look at Lin Qingyan next to her, only to find that the other woman immediately looked away and lowered her head.

Ye Qian was slightly taken aback.

"Why does this guy seem a little embarrassed, or rather... awkward?"

When she was a boy, she had a crush on her.

Surely you won't change your mind even if I become a girl, right?

Unlike her previous encounter with Lin Qingyan, this time Ye Qian had Mystic Thread, so she subconsciously sensed the other's inner thoughts, and then her expression became strange.

The girl was experiencing a frantic internal struggle.

She had a crush on Ye Qian for a long time; you could say she fell in love with her the moment she saw her upon entering the university.

However, she didn't dare to talk to this boy, and just secretly liked him.

It was precisely because of this that she realized she was finding it hard to move on.

So much so that upon seeing Ye Qian, this stunningly beautiful girl, he couldn't help but recall the boy he once liked, and the two gradually Fusion.

She asked herself again and again whether she truly loved the soul or the physical form.

"Do I have to be so conflicted?" Ye Qian thought to herself, speechless.

Perhaps this is the helplessness of reality.

Suffering in a certain sense.

Compared to the current situation, Lin Qingyan harbors a deeper fear: that Ye Qian has fallen for someone else and is with that person.

Regardless of whether the other person is a boy or a girl.

In a sense, it's even more painful for boys.

Sitting in the chair eating, while listening to the two talkative girls across from her chat about all sorts of things, and sensing the struggle beneath Lin Qingyan's smile, Ye Qian found herself unable to say a word.

I always feel a bit awkward being in this middle position.

Lin Qingyan's orientation is undoubtedly normal, at least it has always been so in the past, otherwise she would not have liked men.

But now, she's starting to doubt herself because of herself.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Qingyan suddenly remembered something, stood up and said, "I need to go to the restroom and pay the bill while I'm there. You can continue."

"Good."

Ye Qian stepped aside and watched her pass by, then smile at her, the words stuck in her throat.

At that moment, the Mystic Thread captured some information from her mind, and Ye Qian was slightly taken aback.

"This guy..."

She's studying the occult.

Of course, the initial purpose of the research was not simply a hobby, nor was it to become stronger, but to figure out under what circumstances a person might suddenly turn into a girl.

Sitting back down, watching the other person walk away, Ye Qian silently put the food into her own bowl.

"Ye Qian... when did you and Lin Qingyan meet? I didn't expect her to be familiar with your brother." Yin Yu'an suddenly asked with a smile.

"I don't know either. I haven't known her for very long, but isn't my brother in the same class as you guys?"

"Yes, but they hardly ever talk."

While Ye Qian was dealing with the two, at the other end of the Mystic Thread, Ye Qingyan turned from the back door to the alleyway on the other side of the shop.

Suddenly, her vision blurred, and she realized that there was no one around her.

Standing before them was a strangely dressed man in a gray robe with a black cloth covering his face.

"The goods have arrived." The other party handed over a thick book. "Heh... you should know what payment is required when trading with us, right?"

"I've already given you the money." Lin Qingyan was clearly shocked by this situation.

She contacted a special person she met online and managed to buy a book that supposedly recorded mysterious powers related to "change." It contained content about witches and gender transformation.

Besides knowledge about turning men into women, it also seems to record methods for turning women into men.

Of course, all of this is just hearsay; I haven't actually seen her and don't know what she's like.

According to her original idea, if she could turn Ye Qian back into a man, that would be the most perfect thing, or even if she turned into a man herself and went to pursue Ye Qian, that wouldn't be impossible.

At least at the moment she bought the book, she was willing to believe in some miracles.

According to the seller, this item could only be traded offline because it was introduced by "someone she knew." Ye Qingyan had already communicated with this person for some time and had met them before in a mysterious research group, so she placed a certain amount of trust in them.

However, at this moment... faced with the strange phenomenon she witnessed, she realized that she seemed to have been drawn into something extraordinary.

From the moment Ye Qian transformed, the incredible aspects of this world were revealed to her.

But she never expected to meet someone like that... someone who seems to exist only in fictional stories.

"To gain something, you must lose something. This is an important element of our Personality Cult; if you want it, you must give up your freedom."

The other person opened the book in front of her.

The image shown was not text, but a bloody and terrifying mouth.

"Come, look at the truth in this Book of Truth, and you will feel its charm." With a seductive voice, Lin Qingyan inexplicably felt that the book had an unparalleled attraction. Although it was terrifying, she wanted to lean her head closer and receive the mysterious grace.

"Puff--"

Ye Qian, who was eating, suddenly spat out the mutton in her mouth.

"What's wrong? Is it too spicy? Be careful not to have a burning sensation in your anus tonight if you eat such a strong food," Yin Yu'an said jokingly.

"Thank goodness." Ye Qian swallowed back her words, patted her stomach, and said, "Looks like I need to go to the restroom too. You guys continue, I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay, take care of yourself." Luo Yan smiled and waved.

Without saying a word, Ye Qian left her seat and ran straight to the rescue.

Lin Qingyan is currently in great danger.
