A short while later, he came up again and, unwilling to give up, searched the upstairs again.

Yuan Keyi, inside the space, covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

The next morning, on the first floor, the shop owner was scolding his employees: "Get to work faster, or I'll tear your arms and legs off."

"Shopkeeper, are you trying to back out again? What about breakfast?" Yuan Keyi asked casually as she came down the stairs.

"What are you doing upstairs?" The shop owner's eyes started to bulge again.

Yuan Keyi: "Put your eyes back in."

The shop owner patted his eyes twice and took a small step back as she passed by.

"Shopkeeper, a new day has begun. Please settle yesterday's wages. Also, I've been upstairs the whole time, haven't I?"

The shop owner's forehead began to turn faintly red.

"Where is the Bow of Light?" Yuan Keyi suddenly turned around, activated the original owner's ability, and asked.

"In the sky."

"Are you the town mayor?"

"no."

Yuan Keyi withdrew her power, and a bottle appeared in her hand. When the cap was opened, the shopkeeper's furious expression turned to horror, because he could no longer control his body. First, his hands turned into vines, and then a flower bloomed on his forehead.

Yuan Keyi raised her hand, closed the lid, and stored it in her spatial storage: "I told you, I don't want to kill you. Is it so hard to be obedient?"

Sigh, in a world without spiritual roots, using these things is so difficult.

Yuan Keyi used spiritual energy in one hand and spiritual stones in the other, connecting her body to the energy source. In this non-cultivation world, using this method caused her meridians to ache terribly.

It's useful, but unfortunately it can only be used as a last resort.

This bottle is a high-end version of the spirit beast bottle; it can hold humans, demons, and monsters. I didn't expect it to be effective against the supernatural as well.

Yuan Keyi had no choice but to use these things from the cultivation world. The original owner was very poor and didn't have a single item. Her timing was too coincidental; she didn't even have time to adapt to this body before entering the dungeon. Her martial arts skills were completely useless, so she could only try to use these more intimidating items.

"What exactly do you want?" The shop owner asked, backing up against the wall, still shaken.

"Will you try to stop me?" Yuan Keyi asked with a smile.

"Not kill me?"

"As long as you're good."

"Okay." The shopkeeper quickly gave in. He was a special kind of weirdo, just like that little thing, who could travel between multiple fragments. He wasn't greedy and didn't stand out much in any fragment, taking a little benefit before moving on to another place.

Few can achieve such bizarre behavior. Human flesh and blood are delicious and nutritious for them; the more they eat, the faster they grow. Each fragment's holder is a Ghost King, or what humans call the Big Boss. Every human who enters a fragment wants to kill the Big Boss, and the Ghost King also wants more humans to enter so that he will become stronger, because every human who dies in a fragment can provide energy to the Ghost King.

The shop owner is a rare little demon king who can control his desire for flesh and blood. His current ability is not enough to control a fragment on his own, so he can only gather some energy from each fragment and develop it stealthily.

After agreeing, the shop owner glanced at Yuan Keyi with some reluctance, then turned and went upstairs. The shop was in a very remote location; only two humans came in that morning, looked around, and then left.

When the two entered, Yuan Keyi hid behind the shelves, and stood there blankly in the shop, not greeting any customers.

"Can you take me with you?"

Yuan Keyi, who had just come out from behind the shelf, paused for a moment and looked at the little thing standing there. He didn't look at her, but looked towards the door.

"Are you talking to me? No." The refusal was very straightforward. It is said that someone has taken in a strange creature, provided that the person has obtained an item that can control the not-so-strong strange creature.

"I'm easy to take care of. I can find food on my own and absorb evil energy, as long as you don't hit me."

"First, I didn't accept your items. I can't stay here forever; the outside world won't tolerate you. Second, you're of no use to me."

"You obtained a spatial artifact that allows people to enter, right?"

"Yes." Yuan Keyi did not conceal the existence of the space in this store.

"What if I had a Ghost Token? I usually live inside, and when you go hunting in the fragments, I'll scout the way for you." The little creature turned and looked at her eagerly. For some reason, he just wanted to go with this human.

"You come with your own tools to capture me? What are you after?"

"From the moment I became conscious, I was taken in by the thing upstairs. We creatures, oh, you call us weirdos, are weak and often bullied. He doesn't even allow me to inhale much weird energy. If this continues, I'll die."

"Aren't you afraid I'm that kind of person too? And I'll beat you up all the time?"

The little creature tilted its head, looking adorable: "We always have to take a gamble; what if we run into a good person?"

"You can bewitch?"

His tilted head got stuck. After a few seconds, he raised his hand and straightened his head: "No, it's because our race can mimic the appearance of human cubs, and you always have a softer heart towards cubs."

This approach is useless against the creatures of their world; on the contrary, it makes them think they are easy to bully because they are weak.

"But you're still useless to me." Yuan Keyi still refused. Once she left the dungeon, there would be no more ghostly energy. What would she feed him? She couldn't keep going into dungeons; she couldn't afford to raise him.

"Don't you humans like supernatural powers? I can steal the shopkeeper's supernatural powers." The little thing was getting anxious.

"How could he steal something if he didn't willingly give it up?"

The power of the supernatural is used in the same way by both supernatural beings and humans: energy and currency. Humans can only obtain it from supernatural beings. For example, after killing a supernatural being, they can obtain the remaining supernatural power from it. Supernatural beings obtain it in a much simpler way: they can convert their breath or the flesh and blood of humans into supernatural power.

"I can absorb supernatural power, but it's a bit dangerous for me because I can't handle too much."

"What's your name?"

"It has no name."

"How about you call yourself Dian Dian?"

"You've agreed to take me in?"

"No, I'll help you control him. You can go hide in another instance."

Dian Dian hung his head, still not enough? He was brought into the fragments when he was very young and has never been full. He can travel through the fragments, but he can't return to the main camp. In the fragments, such a weak monster is either killed by humans or bullied and enslaved by other monsters.

"I, I, I can help you get the Bow of Light and the Life-Generating Grass."

"You're that capable?"

"Just take me with you."

"Where is the Source Life Grass?" Yuan Keyi asked. It was a life-saving plant. No matter how serious the injury, as long as there was a single leaf of Source Life Grass, one could stay alive until leaving the instance. As for whether one could be cured after leaving, that depended on luck.

Some injuries caused by strange occurrences are incurable, even for those with light-based abilities.

But at least there's a chance to leave the instance, so you won't die a horrible death.
