Everyone's Given Up! / I'm Really Scared Right Now

"Not only that, I also know magic~" Ling Mengxue thought for a moment, then smiled and said, instantly stunning the latter again.

Chapter 127 Everyone's Giving Up!

After Ling Mengxue's explanation, Zhao Lei finally understood and stared in astonishment, his eyes widening. "So... Brother Feng, you not only became Star Engraving and Magical Girls, but you've also become a girl from now on?"

"..."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhao Lei didn't know what to say next. Feeling rather embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head and said with concern, "But Feng-ge, you're a girl now. You shouldn't get too close to us guys in the future; it's not a good influence."

Ling Mengxue: "..."

"Oh no, I meant those other guys. If they were eyeing Brother Feng's good looks, that would be even worse... uh... that doesn't seem right either..."

Seeing Zhao Lei rambling incoherently, Ling Mengxue simply sighed softly, pushed him into the dormitory, and said, "If you can't explain it, then don't. It's so late, save what you have to say for tomorrow, it's not like we're in a hurry..."

Everything that happened tonight seemed somewhat surreal, and even Ling Mengxue herself, as one of the parties involved, couldn't comprehend it.

The night remained oppressive, with fear and confusion groaning in my ears, making the silence even more somber. The wind howled coldly outside, and the rustling of leaves could be heard intermittently.

Just like the previous nights, she lay on the edge of the bed in one corner, but Zhao Lei was exceptionally gentlemanly, even making room for her...

Ling Mengxue sighed and pulled the person back, saying, "Lie down yourself."

It just doesn't seem right to put such a fat... uh... burly young man in a bed, especially with a girl next to him.

Nothing more was said that night.

Soon, it was the next morning, and the players opened their eyes from their slumber.

Outside the window, the fog remained thick, carrying an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, with visibility limited to about ten meters.

The sun can be seen here, but only a dim, yellowish white dot can be roughly identified, obscured by heavy fog. The whole world presents a desolate and barren scene: a gray sky, bare tree branches, dense orchards, and numerous buildings of varying sizes.

Early in the morning, players received the latest mission information.

With trepidation and unease, they opened the app, only to be stunned by the task details.

Actually, I'm more confused than anything else. All the tasks are almost identical. You don't have to do anything. You can just lie in your dorm all day and someone will come to your door to deliver the outstanding employee reward!

This is the haunted world, a realm of terror and death, and a high-level one at that! How can it receive this kind of treatment?

Are you sure it's not a problem with the instance mechanic?

In fact, the rules of the secret realm cannot be changed; at most, they can only be slightly adjusted. However, Bai Yun's cultivation level is relatively high, so modifying the rules is not a difficult task for her.

After all, rules are made by the strong!

Just like the world we live in, do you think it's truly fair?

Many people know this in their hearts; we just try to make the world seem fair.

There are too many factors involved, and there is no absolutely correct answer.

But it doesn't matter anymore, just cherish the present moment, like today when I don't have to work~

As for the reasons behind this phenomenon, apart from a few individuals, no one knows the truth behind it.

The special mission panel for Ling Mengxue and her group was also deleted, meaning that the erotic game no longer needed to be played. They could probably continue this leisurely lifestyle for the rest of the time until the mission was completed and the rewards were distributed.

As for the humans, Bai Yun released the girls early on. Their memories were all stuck before they were controlled, so they had no idea what had happened and continued playing the game in a daze.

I bet those people will be terrified when they leave the secret realm.

Bai Yun could have ended the event in the secret realm directly, but since Ling Mengxue was still there, she didn't want to let her leave so soon. Otherwise, wouldn't she be alone again?

How can we play like this?

After a quick wash in her dorm room early in the morning, Ling Mengxue went to the villa empty-handed, preparing to check in without any particular worries.

Since Bai Yun has already agreed, there shouldn't be any problems. She can't very well launch another sneak attack, can she?

Ling Mengxue wasn't sure either, after all, this woman was too fickle.

Before leaving, two more people wanted to follow.

Besides Zhao Lei and Meng Xi, who else is there?

Finally having some peace and quiet, Yue Xinrou didn't want to suffer outside again. The emotional trauma she suffered last night hadn't healed yet, and being stared at by so many monsters would only worsen her mental state; she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Why would she want to go out and run around aimlessly?

Finally, with no other choice, Ling Mengxue left with Meng Xi.

The feelings have faded...

Zhao Lei: So love can disappear, right?

Ling Mengxue glanced back at him, her gaze leisurely, and for some reason, she felt a strange urge to laugh.

Of course, she didn't mean to mock him. It was just that her brother had always been a bit off, but it felt pretty good to be cared for.

Thinking back to her time with Luo Xiyan, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

When the two were together, she was always very passive, mostly the one being cared for, and rarely took the initiative.

How could you let the girl speak first?

Ling Mengxue thought to herself, but a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Miss Luo is too domineering... Every time she tries to pull a trick, she gets pushed back the next second...

What's worse, she couldn't even push him away!

I'd like to ask the netizens: is there any way to seduce a girlfriend who is many times better than me?

On the contrary, it seems that every time Xi Yan is teasing... uh... flirting... no, communicating with her, she always seems to enjoy it, yet she herself is as delicate and fragile as a little wife.

Is this even possible?

Accepting one's own weakness is tantamount to giving up.

Upon entering the villa's main hall, everything seemed to be the same as yesterday, with maids and the original manor guards standing on both sides.

All the players' quests will be canceled today, but the girls in their special quests are still working. It's unclear what Bai Yun is up to; is she just hoping to enjoy their services again?

Meng Xi followed behind Ling Mengxue with some trepidation, her steps very light, afraid that something might happen.

Looking at the maids she had once worked with, her expression was equally complex, tinged with heartache, helplessness, and pity.

If they had successfully completed the Survival Challenge, they should have already reunited with their families and parents...

At that familiar, luxurious dining table, Bai Yun was elegantly eating breakfast, seemingly no different from when she was seen yesterday morning. Beneath her pure appearance, there was a hint of alluring charm.

When she met Ling Mengxue's gaze, she naturally smiled, like a woman seeing her husband, warm and sweet.

[img=500,500]htt Chapter 128 I'm Very Scared Now

However, Ling Mengxue felt a chill run down her spine and quickly looked away from her.

Fairy!

She instinctively wanted to greet the two young ladies next to her, but then she suddenly realized they didn't recognize her anymore. What was the point of chatting then?

"I didn't expect Meng Xi to be here too! You probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? I asked someone to make a little extra. Here, don't be shy."

Faced with Bai Yun's warm invitation, Meng Xi was reserved, but had no reason to refuse.

Her attention was mainly focused on Ling Mengxue, as if only Ling Mengxue could give her a sense of security.

Ling Mengxue is rather shy, but she appears more casual when dealing with strangers.

She felt a little uncomfortable with the surprised and curious looks around her; after all, they had all "played" together before, and this feeling was just... uncomfortable.

Silently burying her head in her bread, she entered a state of complete absorption.

To be able to enter a meditative state under such circumstances is quite remarkable.

"Ling-meimei, now that we know, why don't you turn back into a girl? Soft and fragrant, isn't that cute? Don't you think so, Miss Meng Xi?" Bai Yun played with the tableware in her hand, a charming smile on her face, and looked at Meng Xi meaningfully, making the latter somewhat at a loss.

Meng Xi stole a glance at Ling Mengxue, blushed slightly, and murmured softly, "I feel that no matter what Brother Ling looks like, he's very handsome."

"Huh? So, you're still her big fan? Why are you speaking up for her like this?" Bai Yun asked, somewhat puzzled.

Meng Xi lowered her head timidly and didn't say anything more.

Just from being teased like that, the girl's fair cheeks immediately flushed red, her face turning bright red all the way to her ears.

Ling Mengxue glanced at her, feeling a little strange, but it was alright. On the contrary, she was speechless at Bai Yun.

Are they even this picky about gender?

He's definitely the school heartthrob of Dragon Soaring No. 2 High School, right?

It's really upsetting to be disliked like that.

However, upon seeing her female version of herself for the first time, Ling Mengxue was quite captivated, but since she couldn't see her own face, was there a difference between boys and girls?

Just admiring your own body?

Immersed in that emotion, aside from the occasional blush, my feelings were actually quite similar to how they are now.

"Hey~ I've already made a bet, so just play with me for the next few days, that shouldn't be too much to ask, right?" Seeing that Ling Mengxue remained silent, Bai Yun couldn't help but show a wronged and sad expression, looking exactly like a little white lotus.

She wore a light-colored long dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. She bit her lip, extended her right index finger, revealing her delicate collarbone, exuding a captivating and alluring charm that even made some young girls feel sorry for her.

Looking around, some of the spirits and guards loyal to her now stared at Ling Mengxue with fierce expressions as if they wanted to devour her whole, leaving the latter speechless once again.

Why is the tea flavor so strong?

Which tea master is brewing tea again?!

"Just this once, but you have to keep it a secret for me." Ling Mengxue gestured with her hand to indicate a number.

She needs to maintain the magic constantly, which is very tiring for her. If she weren't worried about Bai Yun, she wouldn't be in so much pain.

She herself is truly skilled at brewing tea; she's a genuine Tea Grandmaster, unlike this Miss Ghost who's also a "true" tea master, but might get tricked at any moment—she's practically inhuman!... Another pointless remark.

"Hmph~ It's no big deal. Let's go back to the room first, and I'll show you something good." Upon hearing this, Bai Yun immediately cheered and pushed all the delicious food in front of the two of them with a smile.

Upon witnessing this scene, the supernatural beings gritted their teeth, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, while Meng Xi was flattered and overwhelmed.

Miss Bai's thoughts are really hard to guess...

At the same time.

On a street in Ping'an District, the whole world was shrouded in a gray haze, exuding an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

On the street, many shops emitted faint lights, dispelling much of the hazy fog and seemingly highlighting their signs.

In the darkness, countless eyes watched this area, but even in such an environment, a human girl carrying a lantern strolled leisurely.

The girl was pretty and charming, wearing a blue and white high school uniform, with medium-length brown hair and a pair of clear and beautiful heterochromatic eyes.

What's particularly eye-catching is the three-foot-long straight sword she carries on her back, its sharp edge gleaming in the mist. Within a twenty-meter radius around her, almost no ghosts or monsters dare to approach.

Meng Yi chewed gum and blew bubbles every now and then. She took out her phone and glanced at it. Subconsciously, she raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Which district is this? It seems we're almost there. It's on this street."

Her meticulousness and attention to detail, coupled with her tendency to be carefree, almost caused her to get lost.

Recently, due to the princess of our camp, everyone has been given a temporary "vacation," or they are still searching in Linzhuo, leaving only a small number of people still in Mengli.

Having just overheard the reports from two new members who had recently participated in the assessment, she immediately abandoned the leader and went out to carry out the Decapitation Plan herself.

After wandering around the city for a day and a night, the signal finally returned.

"There's only one manor instance in the Ping'an District that belongs to a large-scale secret realm. It's probably that sixth-tier Nightmare Miss. If I remember correctly, she also inherited the will of the Dark Girl."

"If we can take this opportunity to kill her, it will save the United Alliance a lot of trouble. Hopefully, she won't discover us beforehand and escape."

With her hands in her pockets, Meng Yi followed the signal lights as she walked through the streets and alleys. After turning past a large camphor tree, a magnificent manor gradually came into view.

She looked up, swallowed her gum, and immediately became a drama queen. The serious and calm expression on her face turned into one of panic in the next second.

"I'm terrified. I'm like a lost lamb, stumbling along a rugged path, looking around anxiously. I need to be taken in. I need to sneak in..."

Next to it, in the guardhouse.

The security guard was leisurely reclining in his wicker chair, swaying back and forth. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced through the window and saw someone at the door. They weren't there at first, so he got up to ask what was going on.
