Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 372 - Recycling Side Story
"Well, although I did follow your instructions, boss, and sent the girls who were taken away back to their homes, some unexpected things still happened..."

Behind Nekay was a slender figure draped in a cloak, and it wasn't until Wu Chen and she arrived at a relatively secluded corner that she began to explain the current situation.

"This child seems to have suffered severe psychological trauma. Her family has abandoned her. So she came to me, wanting to find a job where she is only good at serving people. And coincidentally, I noticed that you seem to be short of a servant, and she is willing to stay by your side to repay your kindness. It just depends on whether you are willing to take her in."

The girl unfastened her cloak.

She was a young woman with long, light pink hair, who looked somewhat timid. Her eyes were downcast, and her limbs were slender. When she saw Wu Chen, she showed a mixture of anticipation and timidity as she bent down.

"Please...please let me stay by your side, Lord Dust. I can do laundry, cook, and clean. I can also...serve you during your bath and bedtime...I'll do anything you want me to do!"

"The child's name is Kuel. If you don't think it's a good idea, I'll think of another way."

Kuair.

Quill.

Soul Manager, Quelpland.

Wu Chen was willing to bet his dinner tonight that this pink-haired girl was definitely not among the kidnapped girls he and Nekai rescued from the Fei Yuan mansion. However, the noble family Nekai went to, the one that abandoned their daughter, certainly existed, and the logic was perfectly sound. And so, the exclusive-level god he had hoped for had successfully arrived.

Sylvie, the professional head-patter...

Wu Chen sized up the girl who called herself Kuel, and didn't see any obvious scars on her face or hands. But in terms of her demeanor alone, she wasn't much different from the famous anime character he remembered.

"Alright." Wu Chen didn't press the matter further, nodded, and accepted the gift delivered to his door. "Then keep it. Is there anything else?"

“No, no.” Nekai waved her hand, seemingly lost in some strange fantasy. She stepped back into the shadows. She appeared to be about to say something, but ultimately left without a word, leaving Kuel beside Wuchen.

Perhaps she vaguely sensed something was amiss?
It's possible, but it won't have any impact.

Wu Chen's gaze fell on the new maid in front of him, and the pretty young girl gently lifted her skirt and gave him a reserved yet subtly elegant smile.

The acting method is not yet up to par.

The sky gradually took on a dark tinge.

almost.

"Come with me." He glanced at Kuel, who had unfastened his cloak. His clothes were fairly clean, but it would be better if he changed into something that better suited his aesthetic sense.

"Go change your clothes first, and then come back to the hotel with me to rest."

The conversation was direct, and the girl before them had seamlessly assumed her new position and role. She bowed deeply to Wu Chen, and then followed closely behind him.

“Yes, Mr. Duster,” she replied softly.

When Wu Chen brought Kuel back to the Francis Inn, the colors of dusk had already been gradually replaced by nightfall. The tavern waitress looked somewhat distraught when she saw Kuel, but she quickly recovered and left with a determined look in her eyes.

It seems she's about to make a name for herself.

Wu Chen has never been fond of guarding against night attacks.

Wu Chen nodded slightly to her and then walked past her. Soon, the two arrived at the second-floor corridor, where the bloody scent was concealed by a magical seal.

The vengeful spirits had almost all vanished, returning to the ocean of souls. But one dark shadow lingered in the corridor, waiting, and when Wu Chen returned, it revealed a look of delight.

She was a young girl dressed in a school uniform with a beautiful blue side ponytail. Wu Chen recognized her; in the original timeline, she was the girl with the deepest obsession and resentment. The entire Fei Yuan mansion had to temporarily suspend Lia's evil plans because of the resentment she harbored after her death.

"My benefactor, thank you, my benefactor. You saved the lives of the other victims, and you saved our souls. Please allow me to thank you on behalf of the other dead. If it weren't for you, we don't know how many more years it would have taken for us to be liberated!"

She bowed gracefully to Wu Chen, the radiance forming her body releasing as her obsession was fulfilled. However, just as she was about to return to the Sea of ​​Souls, she seemed to receive a reminder, and looked at Kuel behind Wu Chen with surprise.

"Miss Kuel? What's wrong...?"

"Is that Senior Labenda? You...you were here too?"

A temporary patch was applied, and the two girls, one human and one ghost, embraced each other, weeping. After this brief social interaction, Wu Chen cast his gaze back at the ghost girl.

"Are you satisfied with this?" he asked, knowing that there were still three living hearts beating in his room.

“Hmm…” He saw the ghost girl nod, but there was no hint of reluctance in her expression. “That’s enough… She tortured us, she killed us. But we are ultimately different from her. We don’t want to become the new Leah, we just… want her to taste the pain we felt, to repay her for everything we endured.”

“And…” Labenda hesitated for a moment. “Perhaps it’s because the dead are more sensitive, but we always feel that something terrible is about to happen in Lysas. For the sake of our living family and friends, Lysas needs a princess who can rule this land. And even if she is not as capable as she appears… the death of the last young member of the royal family of this generation will have a very serious impact on Lysas.”

"So... this is fine."

Blood seeped from her fingertips, but her resentment had indeed vanished. She bowed to Wu Chen once more, casting one last, complex glance at Kuel, who was now at least her junior.

"Thank you, my benefactor. And... if you can, please also look after Junior Kuel."

she says.

Her soul disintegrated in the wind, departing for the Ocean of Souls without a trace of regret. Kuel, watching her leave, forced out a few tears. Wu Chen, after offering her some comfort, returned to his luxurious room.

Three things that could hardly be called 'human' lay scattered on the ground, broken into pieces. Perhaps hearing the sound of the door opening, Leah, whose eyes and mouth were filled with only half-congealed blood, slightly raised her chin in the direction of the door.

The only movement she can make right now is to lift her chin.
