interesting!
Yan Qing carefully examined the crumpled and dirty parchment in her hand, confirming again and again that there was indeed not a single word on it.
"I'm speechless. Has this world of strange rules turned into a post-apocalyptic fantasy world?" she couldn't help but complain. "It's like they're treating us like idiots!"
There's definitely something fishy about this piece of paper. Yan Qing couldn't find any clues for the time being, so she could only keep it in her hands and leave it for now.
Then she walked to the bedside, looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, and hesitated for the first time in her life.
The girl before her slept peacefully, as if she were having a sweet dream. To be honest, she simply couldn't bring herself to do it.
What's more, this person has a face exactly like his own.
“Master—” Lingxi stepped forward. “Master, if you can’t do it, let me do it. I am your contracted monster, so it’s the same if I do it.”
Yan Qing didn't know how to answer her, so she could only turn her body away.
I'm sorry, she wants to live!
Behind her, Lingxi raised the dagger high and stabbed it into "Zhang Nana's" neck without hesitation.
"ah--!!"
The exclamation came from Lingxi. Just as she was about to strike her opponent, Zhang Nana suddenly opened her eyes and gave her a strange smile.
Then her body began to rot and decay rapidly, and in just a few minutes, only a bare skeleton remained.
Yan Qing had turned her head immediately upon hearing Lingxi's scream. She saw Zhang Nana's eerie, twisted smile without missing a single detail.
"What the hell is this?" Yan Qing was shocked to see a living person turn into a skeleton in an instant.
"Master, I haven't even managed to stab her yet!" Lingxi's voice seemed even more terrified than hers. Although she herself was a monster, this Zhang Nana was far more frightening than any monster.
"Don't worry, I saw it." Yan Qing quickly reassured Lingxi. Although she had guessed that there would be something fishy in the dungeon, this was the first time she had ever encountered a living person turning into a demon.
Just then, a cold wind blew in from somewhere, and the white skeleton was blown away by the wind, turning into a pile of ashes that rushed towards Yan Qing's hand.
That's parchment!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. After Yan Qing reacted, she immediately went to check the parchment in her hand.
Sure enough, this time there were words on the parchment.
At the same time, she suddenly felt a burning pain on her neck, and then her natal magic weapon, the Heaven and Earth Dice, started to operate automatically.
The Heaven and Earth Dice instantly shrank to a square meter in size, hanging neatly above her head. Dazzling golden light emanated from the dice, enveloping Yan Qing's body.
"Huff—huff—it hurts so much, she can't breathe anymore—"
Yan Qing tried to reach for the necklace around her neck, but for some reason, her hand wouldn't move.
The necklace tightened around her neck, as if something wanted to end her life. The only reason she was still breathing was because the Heaven and Earth Dice above her head was constantly fighting against it.
Next, she watched as a wisp of blue light gradually rose from her body—it was the "Nana's Blessing" protective shield.
However, the protective shield appeared on its own initiative not to protect her, but rather, the blue shield was desperately trying to prevent the golden light from seeping in.
Yan Qing's expression hardened. So that's how it is!
The thing that wanted to kill her was none other than the blue necklace she had always been so proud of! This necklace, which had saved her many times in dungeons, had now become her death warrant.
Above her head, the light of the Heaven and Earth Dice gradually changed from gold to a seven-colored glow, a seven-colored glow she had never seen before.
Just as the colorful Danxia landform was fully formed, the blue protective shield that had been trapping her suddenly collapsed.
"Snap—"
With a crisp sound, a blue necklace fell from her neck and shattered into pieces on the ground.
Having narrowly escaped death, Yan Qing immediately took several steps back, keeping a safe distance from the blue necklace—even though it was completely shattered, who knew what other tricks it might have up its sleeve.
"This thing looks quite valuable; it's such a waste to let it go to waste!"
And the Heaven and Earth Dice truly lived up to its reputation as her natal magic weapon, perfectly reflecting her personality. The colorful clouds in the sky faded, and a ray of golden light shot out, carrying the shattered necklace fragments from the ground back into the Heaven and Earth Dice's body.
"Hiccup—"
The dice, like a child who has eaten his fill, even let out a human-like burp before spinning around, shrinking rapidly, and flying back to Yan Qing's wrist.
Yan Qing touched the dice, which had grown to about the size of a peanut, and felt very gratified.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have really gotten infected this time."
She never imagined that what was supposed to be a special reward for her would one day become a weapon to kill her.
Touching her neck, Yan Qing took off her last remaining silver necklace and put it into her ring. Although the necklace was a gift from Yue Qi, she was sorry to say that she really had a phobia of necklaces right now.
Besides, now that I possess the Heaven and Earth Dice, a natal magic weapon that combines offense and defense, I can handle most dangers. I should just put away what belongs to others.
However, the "Nana's Blessing" necklace suddenly betrayed her, and she strongly suspected that it was related to "Zhang Nana," who suddenly turned from a living person to ashes.
Now, she only has one rule left to pass the level:
Kill Zhang Nana. You will directly replace Zhang Nana's role, kill the real Luohua Cave Girl, and you will be redeemed.
"Zhang Nana" is dead, and now she doesn't need to worry about finding a replacement for Zhang Nana. From today onwards, in this "Falling Flower Cave Girl" instance, she—is Zhang Nana.
Unfolding the parchment, the white text that suddenly appeared on the black paper was the rule for this copy:
Dear adventurer, welcome to the Zhang Family Ancestral Home. Please remember, this is where you began. Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains lie your lost memories; whether you unlock them or not is in your own hands. Here, please abide by the following rules:
1. There is no Wuyun Mountain here. Please do not believe anyone who mentions this mountain.
2. The Cangyun Mountain has a history of thousands of years. The Luohua Cave Maiden is the protector bestowed upon the Zhang clan by the Ten Thousand Mountains. Please maintain your respect.
3. Your family loves you very much, especially your sister.
4. Remember, everyone wants you dead.
5. Of all the rules above, only one is correct, and this correct rule is not the first, second, third, or fourth rule.
