Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 168 Don’t Dream of the Cold Tonight (Additional chapter for Picking Girl’s Mushrooms!)
"Huh? Just classmates." Shen Ye said quickly.

"Classmate? Humph."

"That's right. You look so strange today. What's wrong?"

"Look at this - to be honest, among the three major universities, Song Qingyun's incident has not caused as much of a sensation as yours."

Several photos appeared on the cards.

Astonishingly, it was Shen Ye who held up a bouquet of roses and gave it to Nangong Sirui.

In the second photo, Nangong Sirui received the flowers with both hands, and both of them looked delighted.

In the third photo, Nangong Sirui lowered his head and sniffed the rose, while Shen Ye looked at him expectantly.

In the fourth photo, the two smiled at each other.

Shen Ye put his hand on his forehead and groaned:

"You guys are too gossipy...it's not the case at all."

"What's going on?" Xiao Mengyu's voice was stiff, and she seemed to not believe it at all.

After all, the evidence is solid!
Shen Ye tried his best to tell the whole story, and then Xiao Mengyu's voice gradually regained its vitality.

She also put away her sword on the card and turned her face away with some embarrassment.

"Gather at the playground at 8 o'clock today. Remember not to be late."

Xiao Mengyu warned.

"I saw the notice. Is it going to be another time of hugging the pillar?" Shen Ye asked.

"No, it's the instructor who's selecting the candidates!"

"tutor?"

Shen Ye suddenly remembered that in addition to gaining fame last night, the more important thing was to be selected by the instructor.

"Yes, those who perform well will be selected from the playground by the instructors. I am a little nervous and wonder if any instructor will like me." Xiao Mengyu said.

"...Did you gain fame last night?" Shen Ye asked cautiously.

"No." Xiao Mengyu felt a little disappointed.

"No way." Shen Ye said.

——She has actually long been recognized by the legal world.

Maybe it’s because it’s already there, so there wasn’t any new news last night?
"I didn't feel it," Xiao Mengyu said dejectedly, "but after the gathering at 8 o'clock today, an officer with the Dharma Eye will come over to help everyone see it together."

I'll check it out for you in a moment.

Shen Ye said silently in his heart.

The two chatted for a few more words and then ended the call.

Shen Ye thought for a while and then sent a call request to Nangong Sirui.

"Hey?"

On the cards, Nangong Sirui let several maids massage his shoulders and arms, and lazily uttered a word.

"Do you know that people outside are talking about us?" Shen Ye asked.

"A bunch of trash, I don't want to bother with them." Nangong Sirui said.

"But we have to explain it clearly to them." Shen Ye said.

"We didn't do anything wrong. Why should we explain to them? No need!"

Communication hang up.

Tsk.

This kid.

Shen Ye was speechless.

He got up from the hot spring, wiped the water on his body, washed up, and began to seize the time to rest.

——Didn’t sleep much all night.

There will be classes soon.

Take the time to catch up on some sleep.

Unexpectedly, the voice of the big skeleton rang again:
"Hey, I'm free right now, and we have the materials. Can I help you upgrade 'Dark Whisper' to the next level?"

"...Here? Will we be discovered?" Shen Ye asked.

"That's fine. In fact, the noise is quite loud, so we'd better do it in a remote place instead of here." said the Big Skeleton.

"How long will it take?"

"Not short, it takes quite some time."

"That's too late - I have to go to class soon, so I'll go to the nightmare world tonight."

Shen Ye stretched out and prepared to go to bed.

suddenly.

The four scarlet vertical lines on his hand released turbulent light and condensed into runes out of thin air.

These runes gathered together and turned into a rotating disk.

——Teleportation array!
Before Shen Ye had time to react, he was sucked into the magic circle.

Zhongzhou City.

underground.

somewhere.

He flashed and emerged from the wall.

There was a person standing in the dim passage.

Yunni.

"I thought our bet would last a few more days." Shen Ye said.

For some reason, he had an intuition that it was best for him to open the door and escape immediately.

"The cost of changing the bet is very high..." Yun Ni said quietly, "I am reluctant to pay such a price, but someone has paid enough chips, so, I'm sorry, I have to start a new bet."

"Who?" Shen Ye asked.

In the darkness, a figure came from afar.

——Song Qingyun.

Shen Ye was stunned.

"Each of the nine evil gods has a portion of her lifespan, eight of them fight alongside her, and I am her backup." Yun Ni said.

"It's a very normal battle strategy - leave yourself a way out." Shen Ye continued.

"Brother Shen Ye, I'm glad you understand." Song Qingyun smiled brightly.

Her eyes fell on Shen Ye's arm, looking at the longevity lock, and her whole body became energetic.

A murderous intention continued to rise from her body.

"Longevity lock - one must obtain some kind of consent before entrusting her life to another person."

There was an uncontrollable excitement in Song Qingyun's voice:

"I tried it on my father once before, but it didn't work—"

"Only if you successfully activate this longevity lock, your life will be connected to hers!"

Shen Ye calmed down and asked softly:
"So even if you have lost eight-ninths of your life and the eight evil gods are dead, as long as you kill me here, Song Yinchen will still die, and the artifact will still be yours?"

"That's right." Song Qingyun said.

Shen Ye looked at Yun Ni.

Yun Ni shrugged and said, "I didn't intend to lower my standards, but she is determined to pay me with her soul - once she loses, her soul will be mine."

"So you changed the bet?" Shen Ye asked.

"I'm sorry, but the world is never fair. Besides, unexpected challengers can appear in various competitions and gambling games."

Yun Ni said.

"I don't believe you." Shen Ye said.

Yun Ni laughed.

An invisible wave emanated from Shen Ye and Song Qingyun.

The battle is about to begin!

Song Qingyun unhurriedly drew out a sword, smiled sweetly, and there was a wave of emotion in his eyes that he had never seen before:

"Brother Shen Ye, if I had known you were so outstanding, I would have helped you at all costs and made you the most outstanding rising star."

"I shouldn't have been so arbitrary and decided to let you die without even meeting you in person."

"What do you want to say?" Shen Ye asked.

Song Qingyun stroked his chest and whispered, "You are the only person in this world who has saved me."

"Brother Shen Ye, I actually have a place for you in my heart."

"I thought you were mediocre. What a pity."

Her voice spread in the silence and darkness, carrying a hint of reluctance and regret.

Shen Ye sighed.

"Well," he said gently, "the boy you remember is dead."

Song Qingyun smiled and continued:
"Yes, I have given up on emotions long ago. It is the greatest weakness of human beings—"

"Look, my sister likes you, which will lead to your death here, and she will die too, and I will be the only one who gets everything in the end."

Shen Ye looked at him with disdain, shook the longevity lock on his arm, turned it to the back of his arm to protect it, and said sarcastically:
"I have gained Yinchen's trust and help, and Yinchen has gained a comrade-in-arms who can be completely trusted. We both have a bright future."

"——What about you? What did you get? Does your soul still belong to you?"

The smile on Song Qingyun's face disappeared, and he said softly, "I will win."

"You are bound to lose." Shen Ye said.

The emotions in her eyes completely disappeared, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised:
"Me? Lose to you? What a pity, Brother Shen Ye, in front of me, your brain is as stupid as an animal. I can play with it at any time, and it is very easy to kill you."

Shen Ye curled his lips, as if disdainful, but his heart was completely alert.

——The other party can change memories.

When a real fight breaks out, your brain will really be fooled by the other party.

So this is what is annoying.

——You can’t use your brain.

"Song Qingyun, you are just a source of amusement - the amusement of the Lord of the Weeping Devil Prison."

Shen Ye said.

"That's not the case. I think we should stop reminiscing about the past here." Yun Ni waved her hand gracefully and stepped back step by step.

"Well then," her voice enveloped everything in the darkness, carrying an indescribable power, "In the bet between you and me, an unexpected challenger appears. You must complete a battle first."

"let's start."

A faint light suddenly appeared in the void:

"The Lord of the Weeping Hell has added a new gamble."

"You were sent to Song Qingyun, and this gambling game was the chance Song Qingyun left for herself to turn the tables - she used her soul as a bargaining chip and offered it to the Lord of the Demon Prison."

"Please find a way to defeat her!"

Shen Ye stood still.

Song Qingyun said, "Brother Shen Ye, what kind of memory do you want? Or should I erase all the skills and knowledge you remember?"

As she spoke, some kind of invisible power emanated from her body.

But Shen Ye arrived earlier than her.

——Shen Ye glanced into the void.

"Already having fun: Bunny Dance has been activated."

"The designated target of this fun is: Song Qingyun."

"You are the organizer of the fun this time."

"You will mainly control the dark gold items this time. You will have a certain degree of control and will no longer be afraid of external attacks."

"The power of this dark gold entry ignores all defense, race, spells, talents, and strength levels of the target."

Fun state!

This is completely different!

Shen Ye's eyes were blurred for a moment, and he suddenly stretched out his hands, clapped his hands, and shouted:
"Have fun!"

it has started!

No one can resist——

Even the powerful Earl of Eternal Night City had to clap along!
What’s more, this time, Shen Ye himself didn’t get any part of the fun!
He is awake!
Shen Ye twisted his hips and walked to Song Qingyun, leaving his back to her.

"The rabbit is about to run away, come on, let's chase it together!"

He sang while clapping the beat.

Song Qingyun involuntarily threw away the sword and put his hands on his shoulders.

Fun Rabbit Dance!
Shen Ye took a step forward, stamped his feet and danced, singing quickly:
"The moonlight shines brightly before my bed—"

"How should I sing--" Song Qingyun responded, kicking his legs, dancing, and singing.

The shadow of a nine-headed, faceless giant snake with vertical pupils suddenly appeared behind her.

The power of the evil god!
Almost instantly, she broke away from her fun and shouted:

"Damn it!"

"Sing with me - I thought it was frost on the ground!" Shen Ye was still clapping, singing and dancing in the front.

Small words appeared in the void:

"The other party broke free from the fun and gained a 'negative' fun effect:"

"Falling from a high altitude."

"Description: A violent impact with the ground."

Song Qingyun seemed to be hit violently by something. He fell to the ground, trembling all over and bleeding from his nose.

"You embraced fun, gaining 'positive' fun effects:"

“High School Musical.”

"Description: You are endowed with the strongest attraction, which can deeply infect others, making them forget all their troubles and enjoy High School Musical to their heart's content!"

Shen Ye twisted his waist, looked at Song Qingyun, and hooked his finger——

She suddenly stood up uncontrollably, put her hands on Shen Ye's shoulders, and began to sing:

"I will sing - I think it is frost on the ground!"

This scene was extremely weird and ridiculous.

Yun Ni watched without blinking, as if she was watching an extremely fierce fight.

Her fingers moved slightly.

The shadow of the evil god behind Song Qingyun became more and more solid.

The shadow of the evil god shook slightly, and Song Qingyun broke free again.

Immediately, small words appeared in the void:

"Song Qingyun took the initiative to break free from the fun and gained the 'negative' fun effect:"

"the Hangover."

Song Qingyun was just about to make a move when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He felt as if his two temples were about to explode with pain. His stomach was empty, but churning at the same time. He could no longer control himself and leaned over to vomit.

What kind of magic is this?

Too... twisted...

Even crazier and weirder than tampering with one’s own memory!
She gritted her teeth, stood up, and was about to take action—

"Look up at the bright moon!"

Shen Ye sang while shaking his head.

Song Qingyun was in a trance for a while, put his hand on his shoulder again, and sang:
"So we should look up at the bright moon!"

The two people stood in front and behind, singing and dancing as they walked forward.

"Hmm, the moonlight is like frost, smoke and gauze. Guess what happened next?"

Shen Ye sings.

The shadow of the evil god behind Song Qingyun began to hesitate.

Once she is awakened, she will suffer.

How to do?
In a flash, the opportunity has passed.

"YO, this song is about homesickness, the longing that the boy has long forgotten, the lonely boat untied in the long river of memory, and the island in the west that the south wind cannot reach."

He grasped the Nightfall Dagger and hummed to himself:
"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and endless!"

"The warm wind blows the willows and the sound of the flute fades away. The setting sun shines on the mountains beyond the mountains!"

The long passages of singing were like a continuous combination of punches, which made Song Qingyun indulge more deeply. For a moment, he even forgot about the evil god behind him and just followed him while dancing and moving forward.

Yun Ni moved her fingers rapidly.

——No! Song Qingyun has no reaction!

Until then——

"Sister, guess what happened next?" Shen Ye slowed down his voice and sang softly.

"What happened next?" Song Qingyun put his hands on his shoulders and sang along.

"——Later I missed my hometown!" Shen Ye sang as he drew out the Night Sword, turned around and slashed from the upper left to the lower right.

A sharp sword light suddenly appeared in the dark passage.

The head and body are separated.

Blood splattered all over his clothes.

The head flew high and rolled far away into the darkness.

Shen Ye seemed unaware, and turned back, dancing wildly with the bloody sword in his hand, singing:
"The end of the sky, the corner of the earth,"

"Half of my friends are gone."

"A ladle of turbid wine will wipe out the remaining joy. Don't sleep in the cold tonight."

Clang!
Sheath the sword.

The gamble is over.

Everything became quiet in the darkness.

Shen Ye took out a handkerchief, wiped the warm blood on his cheek, and asked softly:

"Is he dead completely this time?"

Deep in the darkness, the head spoke:

"Dead as hell."

"That's good." Shen Ye nodded and said with relief.
