“Boss Lady, the usual three: tomato scrambled eggs, cold mixed houttuynia cordata, minced pork eggplant.”
“Alright!”
After ordering, “Elf Goddess Xu Yinsheng” pulled Xu Yinsheng to find an empty table and sat down. The tavern’s interior was very spacious; from the outside it looked like only about 30 square meters, but the inside was no less than 200 square meters.
It was also extremely lively and noisy. All kinds of creatures gathered here, all sorts.
There were golden-haired beauties in gorgeous princess dresses, seductive women in gaudy attire, Fallen Saints with torn clothes and exposed skin… and some strange creatures, like spider girls, bunny girls, half-mechanical dog girls, and so on, too numerous to mention.
Xu Yinsheng looked at them, and that inexplicable familiarity in her heart grew stronger, but she couldn’t pinpoint it. It was as if she was only separated from the truth by a thin layer of mist, yet she could never touch it.
“Are you confused?” came a familiar voice from beside her, with a hint of mischief. “Xiao Xuxu, just looking won’t tell you anything~ This is my current masterpiece.”
“Why don’t you try a Life Sacrifice? It’s not like we’re short on lifespan.”
“You talk too much,” Xu Yinsheng muttered.
Indeed, just as she said.
From the moment she entered the city, she had felt something off. Not to mention the surreal scene of “fairies and witches sharing the same path, machinery and magic in one color,” just the faint illusory essence within every living being present was enough to indicate a big problem.
Like truth and falsehood, like dream and illusion.
It was as if everything was a mirage that would shatter at a touch, yet it truly existed, vividly before Xu Yinsheng’s eyes.
Xu Yinsheng’s current Ever-changing Form, the Female Priestess ability, aside from burning tortoise shells, also had another skill: Peek into Heaven’s Secrets, abbreviated as Life Sacrifice!
Starting from ten years, no upper limit!
For an ordinary person, even if they had this ability, they wouldn’t use it lightly. After all, how many decades does one have in life?
But Xu Yinsheng was different. Now, under the effect of “Ever-changing Form,” she had long transcended mortality and become a saint. She herself wasn’t sure how long she could live.
And now…
‘Life Sacrifice, activate!’
She muttered in her heart, and the next moment, in Xu Yinsheng’s own perception, her lifespan plummeted by a large chunk at a visible rate, about two thousand years’ worth.
With such a massive amount of lifespan, the value gained from the Life Sacrifice was naturally extremely obvious.
The world before Xu Yinsheng’s eyes became incredibly clear in an instant, as if a layer of haze had been swept away, revealing its true face, allowing her to see existences she had never seen before.
Pink, or rather pink mist. Between heaven and earth, there was an enormous amount of pink mist, an energy so vast it could terrify Xu Yinsheng, as if even a wisp of it could melt her.
At this moment, the tavern was still bustling. Several beautiful girls, for some reason, had gathered to drink and play finger-guessing games, shouting numbers. The loser had to remove an article of clothing until they were completely naked and paraded through the streets, drawing cheers from the onlookers.
But in Xu Yinsheng’s beautiful eyes, which shimmered with a strange light, everything—all of it, every single thing—the huge tavern, and even this towering giant city, was made of pink mist.
Except for three shining dots of light, or more accurately, two.
She curiously reached out her hand. The incomprehensible pink mist passed through her palm, not affecting her body in the slightest, like grasping quicksand. It simply passed straight through, disappearing into the desert and vanishing.
But Xu Yinsheng saw not only this, but also, also, also a huge net! A net even more indescribable and incomprehensible. It was not a fishing net, nor a net for catching insects.
It stretched across the sky above and stood beneath the earth below, suppressing the mountains and rivers, locking the changes of the heavens.
And this giant net also connected to every living being within the giant city, or rather, every living being was a part of this giant net.
Xu Yinsheng’s gaze shifted slightly downward.
That was the source of the “net,” the place where everything converged.
That was… the person in front of her.
“They… are all you!”
“Bingo!” Elf Goddess Xu Yinsheng snapped her fingers, and at the same time, she gave Xu Yinsheng an appreciative look.
At that moment, a pink octopus girl with eight tentacles brought the dishes they ordered to the table and respectfully withdrew.
Normally, if Xu Yinsheng saw such a furry creature, she would definitely have her eyes shining and shamelessly go up for a photo.
But now all of Xu Yinsheng’s attention was on the “Elf Goddess Xu Yinsheng” sitting across from her.
“How did you do it?” she asked curiously.
Xu Yinsheng herself could also turn one into many, but that was limited to the extent of thirty or forty people for a party. However, “Elf Goddess Xu Yinsheng” was different.
The entire city’s living beings—thousands? Tens of thousands? A hundred thousand?
No, in that fleeting glance just now, the city’s population… a full 800,000! That’s right, 800,000!! And all of them were beautiful women!! Every type imaginable!! And this number was still increasing at a tiny rate!!
Faced with her past self’s question, “Elf Goddess Xu Yinsheng” picked up a chopstickful of tomato scrambled eggs, put it in her mouth, and chewed with relish. “Didn’t I say before? I’m now half a Celestial Demon. Turning my body into myriad forms is a normal operation~”
“And this place, you can consider it an alternative Divine Kingdom I created. The specific method? Combining the 108 character abilities like Nightmare Empress, Puppet Master, Incarnate Goddess…”
After saying this, seeing that Xu Yinsheng still looked like she half-understood and was confused, “Elf Goddess Xu Yinsheng” pouted. She waved her hand to set up a soundproof barrier.
“They are all my subconscious thoughts, combined with the Ever-changing Form to shape these characters. In essence, they are all me.”
“And this city is a semi-finished Divine Kingdom I carved out within my dream. It is both illusory and real, a mirage and yet not false.”
“Does that make sense to you?”
“I kind of understand.” Xu Yinsheng slapped her forehead, but then she leaned in closer and asked again:
“Then why did you make so many of them? To have a party?”
Xu Yinsheng loved parties. She had loved parties since she was a spoiled rich kid. But after becoming Zhao Yicheng’s girlfriend, parties and such became fleeting clouds.
A man who acted as both a father and a boyfriend, with an extremely strong possessiveness, would not allow his own girl and girlfriend to play with other men and women, even if it was just a normal party activity.
However, Zhao Yicheng didn’t completely forbid it. After all, he knew Xu Yinsheng’s personality; blocking is worse than diverting.
He made a three-point agreement with Xu Yinsheng:
First: If you want to throw a party, that’s fine, but it can only be at home, and you can only party with yourself!
Second: No inviting any men or women, no matter who!
Third: The right of final interpretation belongs to Zhao Yicheng.
That’s right, so domineering! Treating Xu Yinsheng as his own possession!!
“Well…”
Regarding Xu Yinsheng’s question, Elf Goddess Xu Yinsheng’s eyes rolled around, and then she winked playfully at the other, with a hint of mischievous malice in her eyes:
“I’ll tell you later~~”
