“Ahhhhh!”

After leaving the countryside and reaching the highway, Zhao Mingyue was somewhat frantic, grabbing Bai Yu’s shoulders and shaking them vigorously.

“Why did I say such embarrassing things!”

On the way back, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was inappropriate. Carefully recalling those words like “but I have you” and “I’ve always been an excellent thief, able to steal time”, really super embarrassing!

Her emotions had been quite turbulent when she spoke those words.

Thinking back to her childhood and those unhappy memories, coupled with the sadness of visiting the graves, all these emotions had piled up and made her blurt out those things. She had originally planned to play dumb, pretending she didn’t know anything, although she really didn’t know much.

Then, as she spoke, hearing Bai Yu’s intention to go looking for trouble, she felt a bit anxious and also wanted to give up, so she blurted it all out.

Exposing the information wasn’t a big deal, but the things she said were just too embarrassing, so embarrassing that she didn’t know what to say.

“Little Sister Yu, let’s forget this not-so-beautiful memory, shall we? I can pay you.”

Zhao Mingyue looked completely serious.

But Bai Yu’s response was very simple.

“No, I can’t forget it.”

“Ahhhh, you must forget!”

“Mingyue, listen to me. Sometimes, expressing emotions like this is very normal.” Bai Yu put her sunglasses back on and said indifferently.

“Instead of that, let’s talk about that thing you’re afraid of.”

“That thing.” Zhao Mingyue stopped going crazy. She found the bike she had ridden all the way here and got on it again.

“I really don’t know what it is, so that’s why I said it’s unknown. But I do know that it’s very terrifying, and it’s always been looking for me.”

“That’s why I said that my life before it finds me is stolen.”

“Knowing this much is enough.” Bai Yu sat in the back seat very skillfully. “Since that thing hasn’t been able to find you for so long after you ran away, it means its abilities are also limited. In other words, it’s nothing special.”

“This thing is different from ghosts. Their power is extremely strong under specific circumstances, but as long as you avoid their rules, you’ll find that they’re actually quite fragile.”

“I think your dream is just foreshadowing something and doesn’t necessarily mean it has found you.”

“If there’s a chance, we can go to your village and take a look, to eliminate this hidden danger.”

Bai Yu had long had the intention to kill. It was the first time she had seen Zhao Mingyue in such a state and attitude. In her impression, Zhao Mingyue should always be sunny and cheerful. That fear needed to be eliminated.

For now, she didn’t know the enemy’s strength, so she needed to investigate while also enhancing her own strength.

Talking about how strong she used to be is all well and good, but the reality is what matters now.

No matter how much she talked, she couldn’t bring her past self over, can she?

Understand the enemy, improve herself, it’s that simple.

“Really have to?”

“We must go.”

“Alright. I don’t really want to go back. That place is a bit scary.” Zhao Mingyue said she was afraid, but her heart wasn’t as excessively fearful anymore. She had a huge psychological shadow of that thing since she was young, but it had gotten much better now that she was grown up.

Most importantly, she wasn’t alone anymore.

“That’s why you need to face it.”

“I know, I know. Anyway, we’re not going now. Let’s go buy you some pretty outfits first!”

Riding the electric bike, they wobbled all the way into the city. When they reached the bus stop, they parked the bike and waited for the bus to come. The way there wasn’t so smooth, but at least they wouldn’t encounter trash on every bus.

After getting on the bus, Zhao Mingyue and Bai Yu continued to sit in the back row. This time, they reached the commercial street without any issues.

“Little Sister Yu, do you think Lu Liangting and the others are out now?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did we cause trouble? But we didn’t do or say anything.” Zhao Mingyue felt a bit guilty, but then she didn’t know why she should feel guilty.

She was just sitting there without moving. It was the other party who came to cause trouble first. After Lu Liangting came over, she only glanced at him without any hints or words. Lu Liangting directly started fighting with them. What could she do?

Naturally, she wouldn’t blame Lu Liangting. If anyone was to blame, it was those few pieces of trash.

“Lu Liangting has a strong sense of justice, but often suffers because of it.”

“Having too strong a sense of justice isn’t always a good thing, but it’s admirable.” Bai Yu rarely praised Lu Liangting.

She didn’t want to kill the kid as much now. This guy being alive had advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that he could attract the attention of most game participants. The disadvantage was that he might conquer Zhao Mingyue. That wasn’t a concern for now, but his presence could also bring danger to Zhao Mingyue.

“Wait, that dress looks pretty good.”

As they were talking, Zhao Mingyue suddenly pulled Bai Yu into a store. She had taken a liking to a black dress for Bai Yu, which looked very nice.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t try it on, so she just held it up in front of Bai Yu to compare.

In Zhao Mingyue’s words, “Luckily, I know your body. Otherwise, it would be hard to buy clothes.” The dress was 288 yuan, but Zhao Mingyue haggled it down to 111 yuan.

Her bargaining was so fierce that Bai Yu thought, if she could face the evil god like this, then it would be a sure win.

After buying this dress, they ran to several more stores. They bought a total of eight pieces of clothing for Bai Yu, big and small, spending over a thousand yuan, about a third of her salary.

And she didn’t seem to feel distressed at all, completely different from her usual stingy self. After buying clothes, she also bought shoes, slippers, hair clips, and other small items. In the end, adding up all the big and small things, she spent a total of 1,500 yuan.

It wasn’t that Bai Yu didn’t remind her. She did, but it was completely useless.

“Mingyue, you don’t need to buy me so many things, really.” On the way to the snack street, Bai Yu spoke softly.

“It’s fine.” Zhao Mingyue patted Bai Yu’s hand.

She was really distressed, but thinking of her true purpose, she felt it was worth it.

The clothes she bought weren’t just for summer but also included two sets for autumn.

That’s right. She wanted Bai Yu to live like a living person when at home.

She had already asked about the difference between staying in her shadow and being outside for Bai Yu, and the answer was that there was no difference at all.

Then, instead of always staying in her shadow, why not live outside like a living person?

After shopping, they were on their way to the snack street when Zhao Mingyue suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.

“Eh, Lu Liangting?”

Bai Yu also looked over and indeed saw Shen Shuyun dragging Lu Liangting around.

“Let’s go say hi.”

Just as Zhao Mingyue finished speaking, Bai Yu tugged at her clothes. Puzzled, she turned to see Bai Yu slightly shaking her head. “Don’t go over.”

“Hm?”

Zhao Mingyue turned her head and indeed saw the problem.

Lu Liangting had stopped, standing together with Shen Shuyun.

And opposite them, two sisters with almost identical appearances, but vastly different dressing styles, stood silently.

Zhao Mingyue recognized them at a glance. Wasn’t this the maid who had told Lu Liangting at the classroom door that she had specially worn black stockings? So, the maid was actually a twin sister. Lu Liangting really knew how to play. Not to mention, these sisters were quite attractive.

And today, both of these maid sisters were wearing black stockings.

One in a dress and was probably the older sister, while the other was still in a maid outfit, like cosplay.

“No, wait, there are more.”

At this time, other people on the street also noticed that something was off with the atmosphere and took the initiative to keep their distance, leaving the area centered around Lu Liangting and the others empty.

In this area, a girl in a long coat and a duckbill hat stood on the left, and a girl in a V-neck casual outfit stood on the right.

Well, they were all girls, anyway.

“Yikes, this is kind of scary.”

She didn’t know if it was her intuition, but she felt the gazes of these five girls were really scary.

“That girl in the hat seems to be from our school. Wait, that blonde girl too. I think she’s the one who gave Lu Liangting a love letter.”

Zhao Mingyue pulled Bai Yu aside, explaining the battlefield situation to her.

“You saw those two maid sisters too, right? They could say such things in front of the whole class before.”

Zhao Mingyue’s voice was very low, deliberately lowering her tone. “Ahem, Young Master, I’m wearing the black stockings you like today.”

After saying that, she looked Bai Yu up and down, stroking her chin thoughtfully. “Today, while shopping, Little Sister Yu’s head-turning rate was so high. How come Lu Liangting didn’t pay much attention at that time? I think I know the reason now.”

Looking down, Bai Yu was wearing white stockings.

“Mingyue!” Bai Yu frowned and pulled Zhao Mingyue to leave.

“Don’t want to watch anymore?”

“No more watching. Let’s go.”

No need to guess. These five girls, including Shen Shuyun, were definitely game participants. If Zhao Mingyue continued to stay here, there would be trouble.

At the same time, the conflict on the scene finally began to erupt.

First, the younger sister stepped forward. “Young Master, if I remember correctly, the Master had clearly told you not to have contact with women of unknown origin. If the Master knew you were shopping with a strange woman, he would be angry.”

“So, please come home with me, Young Master. If Young Master hasn’t had enough fun, I can accompany Young Master.”

Saying that, she took a step forward. Those long legs in black stockings made many male onlookers swallow their saliva, exclaiming that Lu Liangting didn’t know how to appreciate.

Shen Shuyun beside him only seemed to have purity, right?

But purity is no match for sexiness. Real men would choose black stockings without thought!

“I thought it was someone else. It turns out to be a dog raised by the Liangting family. As a **, you should have the awareness of a **. How can you talk to your master like that?” Shen Shuyun also didn’t back down, stepping forward with her long legs.

She inwardly mocked Bai Yu for wearing makeup, dressing up, and wearing a Western-style dress, but in fact, she wasn’t much better than Bai Yu.

Even the makeup on her face was thicker than Bai Yu’s. The clothes on her body were not even second-rate, let alone first-rate. The short skirt was just past her knees, and she even had bare legs with ribbon high heels.

“Liangting, that thing beside you is a mad dog. I think you know that without me saying it. Listen to me, stay away from her.” The tall girl in the coat and hat also spoke up, stepping forward as well. She too wore black stockings, and her legs were even better shaped than the maid sisters’, slender yet not too skinny.

Crucially, her stockings were even more transparent than the maid sisters’.

The most normal one on the scene was probably the girl in casual clothes, but the problem was that her “assets” were the most ample among those present. Even Zhao Mingyue could only admit defeat. Moreover, she was wearing a low-cut top, and that expanse of white was dazzling.

Not to mention Lu Liangting, the male bystanders were starting to suffer from choice paralysis.

Goodness, this was a real tough choice.

The cute and pure Shen Shuyun, the graceful and mature maid sisters, the cold and aloof black-stockinged beauty, and a “ball queen.”

In addition to choice paralysis, there were envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Was that kid in the middle a savior of the universe or something? These girls were literally throwing themselves at him!

And as the center of attention on the scene, Lu Liangting now only wanted to escape from here at the fastest speed possible.

The girl in casual clothes on his right was called Yang Lan. She had once written him a love letter in blood, filling the entire paper with one sentence.

“Be my lover.”

And the aloof girl on the left had once kidnapped him. Although she eventually let him go, she also left behind a classic quote.

“If you can’t fall for me, then I’ll kill every woman around you.”

As for Shen Shuyun, there was no need to say more. Have you ever seen a love letter with a knife hidden inside, with half the knife exposed?

The relatively normal ones were probably his maids.

But the problem was that these maid sisters were also quite strange. They would often drug his water and sneak into his bed in clothes that made him blush, waiting for him to come to sleep. In the end, he could only go to a hotel.

The girls argued more and more fiercely, with a sense that they were about to take action.

What was outrageous was that just for a stroll, these girls were not lacking in “equipment.” There were switchblades, large scissors, brass knuckles, butcher knives, and even a wrench.

Lu Liangting really couldn’t understand where did that wrench come from under that maid outfit!?

“Ahem, how about I say something?” Lu Liangting spoke up softly. As soon as the words left his mouth, the girls’ gazes all turned towards him.

Almost in unison, “Shut up!”

“Little Sister Yu, why are we walking so fast?” Zhao Mingyue, pulled out of the snack street, was puzzled.

“Because they’ll start fighting soon, even with weapons. If you’re nearby, they’ll team up and attack you first.”

“Why?”

“Because of Lu Liangting.”

“Ah?”

Bai Yu shrugged, not wanting to say more. She couldn’t possibly say that these seemingly sweet and lovely girls were all murderers and lunatics before, could she?

With such a group of women gathered together, it was enough to just wish Lu Liangting luck. There was no need to join in the excitement.

Especially since Zhao Mingyue is the heroine.
