Chapter 119 A Promise Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold (Part 7) "Then my final request is..."
You Shi!
Du Yu didn't expect to meet her here, but upon reflection, it wasn't surprising. After all, when he obtained the amber snail, You Shi had emphasized that it was a two-way game between the fisherman and the fish.
To her surprise, this was clearly a spacetime rift, so how did the other side get in so quickly?
Remembering that the strange occurrence happened when he touched the moth, Du Yu's expression changed: "You've been monitoring the Du family's Orchid Garden all along?"
According to the novel's plot, the original owner's traits should have already been transferred to the female protagonist, Gu Tu. After the original owner somehow hid the elemental seed, the writer of the plot naturally had to try to bring the plot "back on track".
The clues provided by the original owner were very subtle, and even Du Yu herself had to guess for a long time. Naturally, they couldn't find this spacetime rift so quickly, but waiting for the rabbit to come to the tree stump was sometimes a smart idea.
"Actually, it's the whole Du family... As expected of you, you immediately grasped the key point—don't get so angry!"
An energy blast emanating explosive energy grazed past his ear. Yu Shi tilted his head, and after making a few jokes with a smile, his expression suddenly changed, and his body was blasted to pieces by a purple fireball that suddenly appeared.
Feint to the east while attacking in the west! A classic but effective tactic.
This avatar was synthesized using divine power and special materials, so it's not surprising that You Shi could tell. Du Yu completely ignored her trash talk and went straight for the vital points.
However, given how annoying You Shi is, the fact that she can still roam freely in the martial arts-rich City of Chasing the Sun suggests that while her combat prowess is questionable, few can match her survival skills.
The shattered figure vanished in mid-air like a bubble, while You Shi's figure reappeared on the other side, accompanied by her incessant voice:
"Hey, we're old friends, why are you so irritable? Anyway, the boss isn't here, how about we play a game..."
"puff."
The figure that had just materialized vanished again, and You Shi's face appeared in another location. But this time, when she was not attacked, the fake smile on her face disappeared. She stared at Du Yu for a few seconds, and her voice suddenly became rigid:
"Tsk, we've been found out."
Blood slowly seeped from his earlobe, which Du Yu wiped away unconcerned, and sneered: "Do you mean I discovered you were stalling for time? Or that I discovered the effects of your superpower?"
Unlike Cat Whiskers and Cai Chunyu, Du Yuxin's newly awakened trait, [The Listener], doesn't have a specific way of being used. This ability is more of an amplification of Du Yuxin's spiritual hearing.
For example, when Du Yu used to activate his spiritual vision, he could only see the colors of spirits belonging to different elements. Now, when Du Yu activates his spiritual vision again, he can "hear" the flow and increase or decrease of different elements within the spirits.
This new trait does not directly enhance Du Yu's combat abilities, but in combat, its performance is no worse than combat-type traits.
For example, just now, Du Yu made a series of attacks to force You Shi to dodge. By listening to the changes in the elements within the spirit body during this process, he deduced You Shi's special ability, which can be described as a perfect auxiliary trait.
Moreover, Du Yu had a premonition that she had only developed less than one-tenth of this trait so far. As her understanding of this trait deepened, the [Listener] ability would bring her even more surprises.
Yu Shi didn't answer her. She flashed and reappeared, heading straight for the largest patch of Comet Wind Orchids. She wanted to destroy the flower field!
Du Yu's brow twitched; You Shi's reaction confirmed her suspicions.
Spacetime rifts are tributaries of normal time, like bubbles on a cliff, extremely fragile. If important nodes within the rift are destroyed, the entire spacetime rift might collapse!
"Smack!"
The purple flames transformed into a long whip, encircling the patch of pure white flowers and lashing You Shi away.
Silver light flashed in You Shi's eyes, but because the purple fire had somehow attached itself to her body, she was whipped three times before she finally found a chance to extinguish the purple fire on her body. She then appeared in a disheveled state not far away.
After the altar was upgraded to [Candle], the purple fire became even more domineering. The whip that struck You Shi not only caused damage, but also locked the purple fire's energy onto You Shi. As long as the purple fire did not go out, it could lock You Shi to the ends of the earth.
"You're the first person to discover this so early in all these years."
You Shi coughed, exhaling a cloud of silvery-white light, and the flush on his face subsided considerably.
"If I'm not mistaken, your ability is to move freely within space by disrupting the surrounding space... Heh, there must be a crowd of people outside right now, just waiting for you to break through this spacetime rift."
Normal spaces are stable, and the ability to move long distances is extremely rare and very limited. There was once a superhuman in the Catwhisker Gang who could teleport long distances, but the cost was that he would randomly lose one of his body organs each time.
Even for systems of unknown origin, synthesizing an "arbitrary space portal" requires an expensive core element and the aura of another space as a landmark.
But You Shi's teleportation is practically limitless. It's high-frequency, long-distance, and she seems to be able to move freely through various mysterious spaces.
In the past, Du Yu couldn't do anything about her, but now with the "Listener," Du Yu finally "heard" how You Shi's qualities were effective.
Simply put, she disrupts the stability of space, tearing several holes in the solid space, and then uses these holes to move frequently and over long distances.
A strange light flickered in Yu Shi's eyes. She nodded and then shook her head: "You're right about most of what you said. I do want to destroy this spacetime rift, but I'm the only one who came here for this mission. There's no one else outside."
Why should I believe you?
Du Yu frowned slightly. The power of this avatar was limited, especially within the spacetime rift, where the rate at which she could replenish herself from her main body was greatly reduced. Although she had guessed how You Shi's special ability was working, she had to admit that she had no idea how to stop him.
Why would I lie to you?
Yu Shi chuckled, and this time her smile was much more genuine. Under Du Yu's look of disbelief, she explained slowly, "It's true that the person sent me to retrieve the lost seeds, but I didn't mean to go against you, so don't be so fierce."
Du Yu was too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense anymore, but she saw You Shi extend his index finger and draw a five-pointed star shape in the air. She didn't know what the other party was doing, but the fluctuation of the other party's elements was completely different from when You Shi teleported before.
In terms of spatial awareness, You Shi was indeed stronger than Du Yu. She tried several times but couldn't stop You Shi. She only heard him chuckle, a laugh that inexplicably carried a hint of relief, and he spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Let's settle this with a game."
Just as You Shi had finished outlining the last point of the five-pointed star, silvery-white light appeared in the air, connecting one after another to form a five-pointed star before rapidly transforming into a large silvery-white comet, Fenglan.
The orchid made of silver light flickered a few times in the air, then suddenly enlarged, and a blinding white light suddenly enveloped the world. A subtle sense of disorientation swept into his mind, and when Du Yu came to his senses, the Orchid Garden beneath his feet had changed its appearance.
The layout of the Orchid Garden still vaguely resembles its former appearance, but most of the orchids have been cut down, and the mud piles and pits have destroyed the natural and harmonious beauty that the garden was carefully arranged.
Beside the last few large comet-shaped orchids stood two figures, none other than the original owner of the body, Tian Yinuo.
Unlike the two little girls seen in the Cross Prison, the two standing under the wind and orchid were already adults.
Recalling the elemental fluctuations on You Shi's body just now, Du Yu finally realized what she had done.
She finally saw through You Shi; her special ability could not only disrupt space, but also the continuity of time!
In the spacetime rift just now, the original owner was still a child. You Shi forcibly jumped the entire spacetime by several years, crossing over to when the original owner was an adult.
Even knowing that You Shi's incredible ability to manipulate time could only be used within spacetime rifts, Du Yu couldn't help but gasp in amazement. At the same time, a strange thought flashed through his mind.
Of the nine known superior elements, she couldn't find one that corresponded to You Shi's abilities. The information she "heard" using the [Listener] was also very mixed and useless.
Moreover, You Shi's abilities are so powerful that even she, with a system at her disposal, feels they are too much. Why would she want to work under the Lord of the Pure Sea? Couldn't she find a seed herself?
Du Yu couldn't see You Shi anywhere, but their conversation drew her attention back.
“Miss, these orchids are so beautiful, it would be such a waste to pull them out. Shao Yan over there doesn’t even pay attention to them… Uh, Young Master Bian is very busy and may not come to visit the garden. There’s no need to turn the garden into a lotus lake.”
"What do you, a servant, know? These orchids are few in number and not very pretty. How can they compare to Brother Shaoyan's favorite lotus? If you keep getting in my way, I'll turn you into fertilizer!"
The pollinating moths are about to arrive; the orchid has fulfilled its mission, so it doesn't matter anymore.
Du Yu stood not far from the two people talking, but it seemed that no one saw her. She blinked. It has to be said that Du Yu's words at this moment were completely in line with her identity as the villainous female supporting character in the novel.
But what was that other voice, like a narrator, that she "heard" along with "Du Yu's" voice?
Du Yu's eyes were a little strange. The two continued their argument. Interestingly, no matter how vicious Du Yu said, Tian Yinuo stood aside and talked back without turning into fertilizer or anything else.
"Enough! If you utter another word, I'll sew your mouth shut!"
My heart is weary, awaiting the arrival of an eternal scene.
During the argument, "Du Yu" had said countless more vicious things, but this time Tian Yinuo suddenly froze, her eyes reddening. She rushed forward and hugged "Du Yu" without hesitation, her voice choked with sobs: "Miss..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Just as Tian Yinuo hugged her, "Du Yu" looked disgusted and tried to push her away. But when Tian Yinuo wiped her tears on her neck, "Du Yu" froze, then grabbed her neck with one hand and covered her chest with the other, coughing violently.
"Miss!"
Tian Yinuo disregarded the inexplicable sadness and hurriedly let go of the young lady. Just as she was about to go find a doctor, her hand was tightly gripped by "Du Yu".
"Don't bother looking for a doctor, no one can save me."
"Oh, miss, you're all better now?"
Du Yu shook her head, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. Her cough subsided, and she stared at the water stains on the back of her hand for a while before suddenly speaking out, "Yi Nuo, can you do me a favor?"
"Of course! Miss's business is my business!"
Even if it means death?
"Then I will die for you, Miss!"
Du Yu stared blankly at Tian Yinuo. As an observer, Du Yu couldn't understand the complexity in her eyes. She only saw the pale-faced girl suddenly laugh. The smile made the pure white orchid next to her pale in comparison. A round tear slid down her face and landed on the petal. The tear shimmered for a moment and then condensed into a silver pearl.
"My final request is that you eat this seed."
