Chapter 99 - Yunji

After trying again and again, he still couldn’t touch her. Ling Yi had no choice but to create a light breeze and float her into the house.

The reason why he was hesitating just now was because he was cautious and afraid that this person would suddenly regain consciousness and attack him.

At the same time, he didn’t want to bring a stranger of unknown origin inside their home.

However, he wasn’t too worried. Only the people with his permission would be allowed to use their “extraordinary” powers.

Within his home, no matter who it was, they would become ordinary people unless he said otherwise.

“Oh my! She’s seriously injured.” Lin Shurou exclaimed when she saw the bloodied stranger floating inside.

Lin Shurou saw that Ling Yi was carrying a bloodied man in and couldn’t help but frown. “Is she being hunted down? Are her pursuers on their way here?”

“Let’s… throw her out again,”

“Huh?” Ling Yi looked at Lin Shurou in surprise. Never in a million years would he imagine her to say something like that.

He thought he was only projecting on her. However, the purse of her lips quickly dashed that idea.

Lin Shurou walked to his side, “You just entered God’s Path. There’s no need to get into trouble, for a stranger no less.” She whispered to him. “I thought she might be a refugee, but now it seems like she’s on the run….”

Lin Shurou looked at the bloodied woman on the floor with a complicated expression.

“Don’t worry.” Ling Yi held and gently patted the back of her soft hand. “In this house, I have the most power. And even if the world’s number one player comes, I can kill him in seconds without a thought.”

Lin Shurou stared at him with wide eyes.

Obviously, she doubted the truth of his words, but Ling Yi didn’t elaborate too much about what he meant…

After closing the main door, he walked to the woman’s side and started to think about how to deal with her.

The woman was about 1.85 meters tall. Perhaps due to excessive estrogen, her figure was particularly well-developed.

Her long black hair covered half of her face, and her right eye was tightly closed.

From what he could glimpse from her partially covered face, he could tell that she was even more beautiful than Lin Shurou.

Many wounds on her body seemed to be from sharp weapons. The scars varied; some were big and small, wide and long. Her black tights were full of holes. Was she surrounded by a bunch of players?

On her left wrist, there was a crystal bracelet that was dyed red with blood. It should be her treasure.

“Are you going to treat her?” Lin Shurou walked over and squatted beside him, carefully examining the woman’s face.

“Yes.” Although he had no healing abilities, he could still buy a few healing talismans from the shop.

He casually bought a few and used them on her.

The next second, as the green light danced around her, the shocking wounds on her body began to heal at speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Shurou brought a basin of warm water from the bathroom and wiped the blood off the woman’s body with a face towel.

During this time, Ling Yi activated his [Eye of Truth] to check on the woman’s condition.

[Name: Han Yunji (lv80)]

[Gender: Female]

[Age: 28 (Single)]

…

[Current Status: Unconscious, Self-Healing Stop (Ineffective), Revival Stop (Ineffective), Healing Stop (Ineffective), Demonized Curse (Ineffective), Mental Poison (Ineffective), God’s Path Protection Program’s Target Restriction (Ineffective)]

[Current Mood: N/A]

“F*ck… So many debuffs.”

When he had floated the woman into the house, he had activated the house talisman’s ability to nullify all of her extraordinary powers.

But after looking at her status now, it seemed that it would be impossible to treat her if he didn’t bring her into the house.

She was even under this “Self-Healing” and “Resurrection” restriction.

“It seems like she might have been attacked by a bunch of people and was nearly killed… If we had ignored her, she would have died.”

When he saw the last status, Ling Yi suddenly remembered something.

He had heard that a woman named “Yunji” had been forced to make the same bet as the Wangs ten years ago.

In the end, the first player to break through level 10 was another female player, so from then on, only that female player could come into contact with her.

‘No wonder I couldn’t see her clearly when she was out in the yard.‘ Ling Yi thought as a look of realization crossed his face.

He wasn’t all too surprised that the mutated “House Protection Talisman” could even suppress God’s Path’s powers.

The Super Mutation system’s power was at least on the same level as God’s Path. It might even be higher than God’s Path.

The fact that it could nullify the other party’s effects did not surprise him.

But, it was probably only effective at home. If they were to go out again, he wouldn’t be able to touch her again.

“I cleaned some of the blood from her skin,” Lin Shurou said as she wrung the dirty towel onto the basin. She turned to face him, “I still need to wash her, though. Help me carry her into the bathroom.”

Ling Yi was speechless.

He wanted to suggest that he could buy a cleaning talisman or other talisman to clean the stranger.

However, when he saw Lin Shurou’s earnestness, he couldn’t spill the words from his mouth.

So, he urged the gentle wind to carry the woman into the bathroom.

Lin Shurou’s eyes widened in surprise. “Your wind control is so strong. Other players who learned [Howling Wind] would need at least a few months of practice to reach your level.”

“Oh.” Ling Yi supported his chin with one hand and leaned on the sofa, feeling a little tired.

He would’ve gone to sleep if he didn’t have to leave Lin Shurou with the stranger alone.

Lin Shurou picked up the basin and was about to leave. When she heard Ling Yi’s quiet reply, she couldn’t help but turn back to look at him.

Seeing the fatigue between his brows, she was only stunned for a moment before she smiled gently.

She put the basin in her hand and slowly walked to his side. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gently kissed him on the cheek. She said gently, “Go back and rest first. I’ll take care of this. Moreover, isn’t the Divine Beast protecting the house? I’ll be fine.”

She remembered the iron sword he had introduced, stuck in the courtyard’s ground, probably drenched with the heavy rain.

“Alright,” He said.

Lin Shurou might not be too sure about it, but Ling Yi was very clear about the effects of the sword.

And she was very confident in him.

…

A few hours later…

When it was 11:50 AM, Ling Yi woke up with the help of his alarm clock.

He pushed the door out and walked to the second floor’s railings to peer down to the first floor.

She saw Lin Shurou had arranged for Yunji to sleep on a sizeable wine-red sofa and covered her with a thick white quilt.

She sat by her side and watched TV.

Without disturbing her, he turned around and entered his bedroom. As midnight struck, he entered God’s Path once again.

[You have gained 3 hours before descend]

[The Newbie’s Tower of Trials has been opened. Players can find the Tower of Trials at the northeast corner of the camp and participate in the trial. The higher the floor, the more rewards there will be!]

[Prompt: The Newbie’s Tower of Trials will exist for 24 hours. Entering the tower will send you to the trial area. Players do not consume God’s Path time while participating in the trial area]

[Prompt: The newbie trial will officially begin in 5 minutes! Please head to the trial tower as soon as possible!]

The moment he entered, Ling Yi could feel the various emotions of the surrounding players.

[You absorbed 77 points of depression from Li Jiu.]

[You have absorbed 80 points of surprise value from Wang Luo.]

[You have absorbed 62 speechless points from Gu Yuan.]

[You…]

Looking around, he was slightly puzzled that he was met with gloomy faces.

‘I wonder what’s wrong,‘

He only understood when he overheard the nearby conversation.

“It’s so strange. We’ve already upgraded to an intermediate map, but the newbie trial has only just begun.”

“Ah, yes, I was still fighting Level 5 or 6 monsters, and there were already level 50 or 60 monsters on our map. I’m really scared that there will be a monster invasion event after the official opening of the event tomorrow.”

“Anyway, we have the Comet Boss with combat power comparable to a Beast King. It’s not a big problem.”

“I’m just afraid that the guy would be too busy doing something else.”

“…”
