Chapter 131 The Black Cocoon
The little deer used its innate supernatural powers to try and find the source of the misfortune, but found nothing.
It frowned uneasily; that person couldn't have done something pointless, and the bad luck must have been hidden from view.
Damn it, why did they target the Wendao Sect!
Not long ago, it expended its luck to reveal some clues to the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable, hoping that the other party could gain something. Now it seems that it probably won't.
Misfortune is invisible and intangible, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, but its threat is undeniable.
The little deer leaped forward and plunged into the spatial vortex.
The capable are often burdened with more work. It can sense bad luck, so it can only work harder and search the entire sect alone.
It refused to believe that it couldn't find it even after all this.
A tall building far outside the Wendao Sect.
A middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue robe sat quietly on a prayer mat, his long black hair cascading down his back like a waterfall. His hair was of excellent quality, but unfortunately, the ends showed signs of burning.
Amazingly, countless stars twinkled around him, as if he were in a starry world, with mysterious patterns constantly flashing in the sky.
No one but him could decipher the meaning of the star chart.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and murmured, "It's the power of the laws. No wonder it could interfere with me. While it's hidden from me, the plan must be brought forward."
The surrounding scenery changed; the starry sky disappeared, replaced by a spacious house.
A palm-sized disc floated in front of him, engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars. It was small and exquisite, exuding a rich aura of law, making it impossible to look away.
This is a priceless treasure that does not belong to the human realm.
The middle-aged man stood up, raised his hand to retrieve the disc, and looked out the window at the western continent, the Black Barbarian Domain where the demonic cultivators resided.
If someone comes to this place, they can see the three large characters "Tianji Pavilion" engraved on the plaque of the tall building.
On the other side.
Lou Yuqing was extremely upset when she discovered that the system was still frozen after the engagement was dissolved.
To be honest, losing the system didn't affect her. Not being able to watch the drama wouldn't kill her; it just meant she'd miss out on a lot of fun.
However, Lou Yuqing had spent so much time with it that she still had feelings for it and couldn't bear to watch it perish.
Moreover, in a sense, the existence of the system is proof that she transmigrated here.
Although she kept calling it a dog system, the system had actually helped her a lot, and she hadn't even thanked it.
The system is a "gossip-eating" type, and its energy is represented by its "gossip value." Can we use gossip-eating to wake it up?
Thinking of this, Lou Yuqing made up her mind: "Yun Xiao, Senior Sister, I'm going to the Enforcement Hall."
Ling Yunxiao said eagerly, "My mission is complete, and I'm going to the Enforcement Hall anyway."
Si Nidie took a step back: "I'll pass."
No working on rest days!
Lou Yuqing understood her meaning, and a smile flashed in her eyes: "Then we'll be going now."
She also wanted to be free, but unfortunately, circumstances didn't allow it.
Watching the two figures leave, Hao Tianping cursed Ling Yunxiao inwardly for prioritizing women over friends.
He had just come out of the confinement room and was still traumatized by Captain Wei's stern face. He decided to leave the Enforcement Hall for later and wait for Ling Yunxiao to return.
Two streaks of light flew past in mid-air.
A quiet atmosphere enveloped the two of them.
Only then did Lou Yuqing have time to recall the matter of the red thread. If she wasn't mistaken, Ling Yunxiao was quite happy about her annulment of the engagement.
Although my senior sisters and the others were the same, he gave me a different feeling than others, as if he had crossed the line of friendship.
After a moment of silence, Ling Yunxiao spoke up: "Are you heartbroken? Nangan is not a good match."
Lou Yuqing was completely bewildered: "Huh?"
“You were sad after the engagement was called off.” Ling Yunxiao was naturally perceptive and had been paying close attention to her, taking in her emotional changes.
Despite her attempts to conceal it, she couldn't fool his eyes.
Lou Yuqing was both amused and exasperated. The process was correct, but the answer was wrong. She straightened her expression and said, "Don't overthink it. It has nothing to do with the annulment of the engagement, nor with Nangan."
That means she's worried about something else.
Ling Yunxiao grasped the key point and wanted to comfort her, but not knowing the reason, he didn't know where to start.
Lou Yuqing glanced at the somewhat annoyed boy, her unease lessening slightly, and asked, "You hate Nangan? You were at odds with him."
Of course he hates it.
No one likes a love rival.
Even though this rival was at a disadvantage, just hearing the words "fiancé" made him feel sour.
Ling Yunxiao didn't want her to think he was petty, so he smiled nonchalantly and prepared to find a plausible reason to explain his motives.
But when Lou Yuqing turned her head to look at him, her eyes were sincere and earnest. Almost the instant their eyes met, he understood: she didn't want to hear lies.
“How annoying,” he said truthfully.
Lou Yuqing tilted her head: "Why?"
"because……"
Ling Yunxiao swallowed his words, unsure of her reaction if he spoke them aloud.
What if she thinks I have ulterior motives and distances herself from me from now on?
There's only one chance; we can't afford to waste it now.
Lou Yuqing's voice trailed off with a slight smirk: "Hmm?"
Ling Yunxiao immediately wavered.
He smiled wryly, still unable to refuse her.
However, does she ask this question because she has feelings for herself?
Clinging to a sliver of hope, Ling Yunxiao, as if making a painful sacrifice, closed his eyes and cried out, "Because I like..."
"Girl, you're in trouble!" A spatial vortex appeared in mid-air, and Little Deer leaped out from it, her anxious voice interrupting Ling Yunxiao's words.
Ling Yunxiao was momentarily at a loss for words, perhaps feeling a mix of relief, regret, and disappointment.
Lou Yuqing deliberately tried to elicit his answer, but she didn't expect the Void Beast to suddenly jump out.
She reviewed what had happened to her. The system crashed for no reason. Was it because she was having bad luck?
Pshaw, that's impossible.
Lou Yuqing tentatively asked, "Senior Sacred Beast, what do you mean by saying I'm unlucky?"
"Literally, follow me!" The antlers on the little deer's head twitched, and a bright yellow light flew out and encircled her body, causing spatial fluctuations to spread outwards.
The man and the deer disappeared so suddenly that Ling Yunxiao had no time to react.
He panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. The sacred beast knew Yu Qing and should not be of any harm to her.
But what about the bad luck it mentioned?
Just then, Sect Leader Qingxuzi appeared and reassured them, "Don't worry, that's our sect's guardian spirit beast, the Void Fortune Sacred Beast."
Ling Yunxiao suddenly realized.
It turns out that the true form of the sacred beast is a deer.
Meanwhile, at the Spirit Summoning Tower.
Lou Yuqing was taken to the nineteenth floor by Xiao Lu. After she regained her balance, she heard Xiao Lu say, "That person has brought bad luck upon you."
Lou Yuqing repeated, "Misfortune?"
"Don't underestimate the power of bad luck. I took such an attack for the Wendao Sect before, and I haven't fully recovered yet. If it weren't for my great fortune, I probably would have perished long ago."
The deer looked at her in surprise: "To be honest, I'm really surprised that you're still alive and well. Don't you feel unwell?"
When it realized that misfortune was befalling Lou Yuqing, its eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Fortunately, it saw that there were outsiders present and restrained its emotions, otherwise the noble temperament of a sacred beast would have been completely destroyed.
Outsider Ling Yunxiao: "..."
Lou Yuqing looked inward at herself and said, "There is indeed nothing that feels uncomfortable."
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.
Did the system shield her from the disaster?
"What are you thinking about?" Little Deer noticed that her expression was strange.
Lou Yuqing pondered for a moment and said, "I have a treasure on me. Perhaps it is because of it that I am safe and sound."
“Misfortune and luck are relative. Those who are afflicted by misfortune will die sooner or later. Your treasure can fight against misfortune, which is truly extraordinary,” Little Deer pondered.
Lou Yuqing sighed, "But I can't understand why that person would attack me?"
The little deer glanced at her and guessed correctly: "It's probably not aimed at you, but at your treasure. After all, it can ward off bad luck and is the nemesis of that person's abilities."
Lou Yuqing: That makes sense.
"Senior Holy Beast, do you have any way to get rid of this misfortune?" Her eyes were filled with expectation.
Little Deer shook her head and said, "Not now, I have to wait until my injuries have healed."
It's fine as long as it can be removed.
Lou Yuqing asked, "How long?"
"ten years."
"..."
Seeing her complicated expression, Little Deer snorted, "Only luck can fight against misfortune. Do you think the power I've expended is so easy to recover? Ten years is an overestimation."
Lou Yuqing now believed in the existence of fate. Suppressing her eagerness, she asked in bewilderment, "Can that person's power of misfortune be used without limit?"
Such incredible power, if left unchecked and abused, would be a disaster.
The little deer sighed, "I want to know too, but let's not talk about it anymore. The more I talk about it, the more heartbroken I become. Although I can't remove your bad luck, I can seal you away temporarily."
seal?
Lou Yuqing complained that it made her look like an evil spirit.
She asked, "What's the use?"
The deer jumped to her side: "If the treasures you possess become useless, I can transfer my luck to you to prevent you from losing your life to bad luck."
Lou Yuqing stood in solemn respect: "My benefactor."
A moment later, spiritual energy surged within the Spirit Summoning Tower, forming a vortex as tall as a person. Accompanied by the appearance of purple lightning, bright yellow light clusters flashed continuously within it.
After an unknown amount of time, the light dissipated, and a deer-shaped pattern appeared on Lou Yuqing's forehead before disappearing beneath her skin.
The little deer yawned: "Okay."
It used its natal spirit seal on Lou Yuqing, which consumed most of its energy upon completion.
Just as it was thinking of sending her away so it could get a good night's sleep, Lou Yuqing suddenly went black and collapsed to the ground, seemingly unconscious.
Little Deer: No?
Even the sacred beast that led the sealing hasn't fallen yet.
Even so, it dared not hesitate, fearing that Lou Yuqing would be killed by bad luck, and hurriedly used its divine sense to check her heartbeat. Fortunately, her heartbeat was strong and powerful.
Xiao Lu thought for a moment and realized she needed to sleep and didn't have time to take care of her, so she sent her to Shi Hua's place to be looked after.
Shi Hua was startled, but relieved to find that Lou Yuqing was alright.
Lou Yuqing opened her eyes to a vast white space. She hesitated, wondering where she was. She thought she had just been in the Spirit Descent Tower.
Suddenly, a thin black line shot out at a tricky angle and instantly wrapped around her calf. The pain of her skin being pierced made her face change color.
Lou Yuqing activated her Myriad Thunder Body technique, and her entire body crackled with electric arcs.
As she made her move, more black lines came from all directions, moving at incredible speed and impossible to dodge.
Lou Yuqing used her lightning escape technique to appear in another place, but the black lines seemed to have sensed it in advance and all changed direction and rushed towards her.
In an instant, countless black lines covered her body, with flashes of lightning visible in the gaps, creating a protective shield for her.
The black line was exceptionally tough; even when magic was struck on it, it remained completely undamaged.
Worse still, the black lines in the space seemed endless, gushing out continuously until they wrapped her up in a cocoon.
The pure white space, with black cocoons suspended in the air, created a particularly eerie scene.
