My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

If Leng Yihan's guess is correct, the next war should begin tomorrow. If he still hasn't figured out how they got here, the [World Wall] might not be effective tomorrow, and the Apocalypse could easily overwhelm them with sheer numbers. Humans have an advantage in numbers, but not many are capable of fighting. The Apocalypse's army is the largest they've ever seen.

No one could sleep at night. Lights were turned on wherever people were in the houses, and many people stood on the balconies, looking around to see what was going on.

The giants appeared briefly and existed for a short time; by the time the city's guards discovered them, their bodies had already been cold for more than ten minutes.

Leng Yihan pulled Lin Yin along, and although the speed wasn't very fast, it was impossible to spot them unless one kept their attention focused on them.

Leng Yihan and Lin Yin went to chase after the fleeing Mu Lin, while Leng Binglan and Po Jinglei resumed their search for any other apocalyptic monsters in the city. Jun Qingshui and Xiaoyaojin went to find Bei Hui to maintain stable communication and protect her safety.

Although Leng Yihan and Lin Yin couldn't be said to be running aimlessly, they certainly didn't have a clear direction, so they had to rely entirely on their intuition to find the book. They would take a closer look when they passed through alleys, but the city was so big that it was quite a hassle for the group to search.

“Hey… Xiao Han.” Lin Yin, who had been being pulled along by Leng Yihan, suddenly said. However, although she said she was being pulled along, Leng Yihan had actually carried her halfway there, saying that she needed to conserve her energy.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Leng Yihan replied casually.

"...We, we're like this, don't we look like we're eloping..." Lin Yin's voice trailed off. Although Leng Yihan couldn't see Lin Yin's expression, she could imagine that her face was probably already bright red.

Leng Yihan wasn't going to budge much. Thinking about how she really did seem like she wanted to elope with Lin Yin, her face flushed. "Xiao Yin, stop joking! Let's be serious about finding her!"

"Hmm... How could I possibly like a complete idiot like you with zero emotional intelligence? You have absolutely no sense of romance." Lin Yin pouted and poked Leng Yihan's cute little face.

"Who said I have zero emotional intelligence! What nonsense are you talking about! My emotional intelligence is very high!" Leng Yihan said with dissatisfaction.

"Then why did you say to hurry up and find someone? Aren't you going to talk to me?" Lin Yin said, and the poke on her cheek turned into a pinch.

"This, isn't this to complete the game's mission first..." Because Lin Yin was pinching his face, Leng Yihan's words were a little unclear, but Lin Yin still understood.

"Huh? I've never seen a boyfriend like this before, ignoring his girlfriend for the sake of a game!" Lin Yin's tone was a bit unfriendly. "I..." Leng Yihan had no rebuttal.

"Then tell me, if one day the Oracle or I are destined to disappear, who would you choose to save?" Lin Yin suddenly asked.

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's to save Xiaoyin." Leng Yihan gave him a look that seemed to say, "Are you an idiot?" "Xiaoyin, you're someone important to me."

"Hmm, I like it this way~" Lin Yin chuckled, "Then you have to promise me, no matter what happens in the future, you have to come and save me!"

"Pfft, let's talk about it when I need to save you~" Leng Yihan chuckled. Lin Yin didn't say anything more and leaned on Leng Yihan's shoulder to rest for a while.

"Ugh, so annoying... Why does Brother Yihan have to take Lin Yin with him? Why not me? But... But Lin Yin is a hunter who needs protection, while I, a swordsman, am so agile and don't lack protection. That makes so much sense... Damn it, damn it!" Leng Binglan pouted the whole way, kicking pebbles on the street in annoyance.

"Hehehe, look what I found? A jealous little girl?" A sharp, androgynous voice rang out, and a dark figure floated out from the alley in front of Leng Binglan.

“…Huh?” Leng Binglan stared blankly at the black shadow that flew out.

"Hehehe, you're not afraid of me? Well then, I can grant you a wish. Just now you mentioned... are you very jealous of someone?" The dark figure flew in front of Leng Binglan and said with a wicked smile.

"Well...I guess so." Leng Binglan's gaze shifted. She had to admit, she was indeed a little jealous of Lin Yin, who was being pampered by Leng Yihan so much...

"So what?" Leng Binglan turned her head away, her pouting lips betraying her dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, I can help you. I can help you destroy the person you're jealous of and help you win back the heart of the person you like..."

"Really?" Leng Binglan asked curiously upon hearing about the creature in front of her, whose identity she couldn't quite place.

"That's right, after all, I am the Demon of Jealousy. Your jealousy is surprisingly sweet... How about this deal? I'll savor your jealous emotions, and I'll help you eliminate the person you're jealous of..." the Demon of Jealousy said, tempting Leng Binglan.

"Then why did you help me eliminate the people I'm jealous of? Wouldn't you have been able to absorb more energy if you had just let things continue like this?" Leng Binglan said.

"No, no, no, each of us Envy Demons has a limit to the amount of energy we can absorb, and our lifespan is also limited. To live longer, we must absorb a large amount of emotions related to envy in a short period of time," said the Envy Demon. "Based on my years of testing and observation, I have found that when a person's target of envy is destroyed, the emotions they generate for me at that moment can reach their limit within just a few minutes. In other words, I can obtain a large amount of energy in a very short time, thus living longer. At the same time, the people I help can watch the person they envy being destroyed. Isn't that a kind of pleasure?"

"Hmm...Is that so..." Leng Binglan looked thoughtful. Although she didn't usually show it, to be honest, no matter how much Leng Binglan clung to Leng Yihan or how she got along with him, she could feel that her position in Leng Yihan's heart was far less than that of Lin Yin.

To say she wasn't jealous... that's impossible. It's just that Leng Binglan never said it out loud, but kept it in her heart as her own little secret. She would respect all of Yihan's choices, and that was her love for him.

But this time... the opportunity is right in front of her; it's just a matter of whether she's willing to seize it.

"Come on, you must hate the person you're jealous of, right? Come on, come on, let's make this deal work..." The Demon of Jealousy, seeing an opportunity, quickly began to persuade him.

"...Alright, it's settled then. You go kill her for me, and you can enjoy that energy too~" Leng Binglan was silent for a moment, then revealed a strange smile as she spoke to the Demon of Jealousy. But the Demon of Jealousy, having heard the other party agree, had no interest in agreeing. He hadn't tasted such delicious emotions in a long time. It was unimaginable how delicious Leng Binglan's emotions would be if he killed the person Leng Binglan was jealous of...

“Fine, take me to find her, and I’ll kill her…” The Demon of Jealousy said, then let out a sinister laugh.

"Then please follow me~" Leng Binglan said, turning around and asking for Leng Yihan's location before heading over with the Demon of Jealousy. Anyway, she was just an ordinary NPC, so it didn't matter...

Leng Yihan was a little confused after seeing Leng Binglan's message, but she still told the truth and then chose to wait where she was. Seeing this, Lin Yin couldn't help but feel jealous and pinched Leng Yihan's fair cheek.

"Ugh... Lin Yin... stop it..." Leng Yihan was very unwilling, but with both his hands behind Lin Yin's back, he couldn't resist...

"Hmph, you idiot! Why did you bring that vixen over when I was alone with you? Are you stupid?!" Lin Yin pouted, showing no intention of stopping.

Leng Yihan was helpless. Only then did he realize that Leng Binglan had sent him another message.

Blue Moon: Brother Yihan... I've brought you a big gift, please accept it properly~?

"Huh?" Upon seeing Leng Binglan's message, Leng Yihan couldn't help but feel puzzled. However, this puzzlement didn't last long. In just two minutes, he knew what this great gift was.

"Hiss hiss hiss... It must be you two, right? That girl is the target this time, right..." A wisp of black mist, the Demon of Jealousy, appeared in mid-air with its upper body, its two sharp claws so eye-catching.

"What the heck... This is really a big gift for me..." Leng Yihan complained. Although she couldn't see the guy's data, she could still sense that the guy in front of her was not simple.

"Xiao Han, put me down." Lin Yin.

"Okay." Leng Yihan immediately put Lin Yin down, but the Demon of Jealousy wouldn't wait that long. In an instant, it rushed up and swung its claws down.

"Be careful!" Lin Yin warned, but Leng Yihan knew even without her reminder. She drew her katana to meet the attack. As the claws clashed with the katana, a tremendous force, mediated by the katana, made Leng Yihan's arm go numb.

The Demon of Jealousy was similar, but unlike Leng Yihan's katana which acted as a mediator to weaken its immense power, it directly caused the entire arm to disappear into mid-air.

However, it simply vanished. Before long, a brand new arm reappeared, and the Demon of Jealousy made no sound, seemingly having entered a serious battle state.

"What an unexpectedly admirable opponent..." Leng Yihan thought. It had been so long since he had encountered an opponent like this, who fought so seriously without any banter. Even when playing against strangers, they would chat for a bit, let alone when playing against acquaintances, sometimes they would even forget about the PvP match...

The Demon of Jealousy was fast, but Leng Yihan was no less skilled and could barely keep up. In an instant, the Demon of Jealousy appeared in front of Leng Yihan and struck down with three consecutive blows. Leng Yihan raised her sword to block, but the impact made her arm go numb, and she couldn't even hold the sword.

He decisively activated his sword intent, and sure enough, the sword intent could even dispel this state. The freezing effect of his katana seemed to have no effect on the Demon of Jealousy, and all the damage he caused was magical damage.

So what's next? I don't even know how many health points this guy has, how am I supposed to kill him...?

Leng Yihan's feelings were complicated, but Lin Yin behind her didn't think so much. When she heard the sentence, "That girl is the target this time, right?", she had no intention of showing any mercy.

Seven arrows were fired in quick succession, but the Demon of Jealousy remained calm and showed no intention of dodging. All seven arrows passed through its body without causing any change.

"Pure physical attacks are useless; they need to have some elemental properties." Leng Yihan immediately understood why. The reason her katana could swim was because it inherently possessed ice properties, allowing it to make physical contact with the Demon of Jealousy.

Thankfully, if I hadn't known this at the beginning, and since the katana is purely physical attack without any elemental effects, I probably would have been seriously injured by the first hit.

"So what if you've seen through me? I can tell you that the attack you've inflicted on me right now is completely painless," the Demon of Jealousy said, sounding very confident.

"Is that so..." Upon hearing its words, Leng Yihan gave up fighting with her katana and instead prepared to draw her greatsword, Chaos.

One of the special effects of Chaos is that, no matter what, 100% of the damage dealt will be applied to the enemy...

Damage immunity is useless, shields are useless, invincibility is useless—that's pretty much it.

So you can also see that this sword is an OP (open beta) character.

"An enemy immune to physical attacks, not particularly difficult to deal with..." Leng Yihan thought, her hand on the greatsword hilt gripping it, and she drew it out.

"It's just an ordinary demon or monster, waiting to be reincarnated—"

167 Infernal Prison (10)

With Chaos in hand, Leng Yihan felt confident—even though she was a little worried about the side effects of Chaos, she thought that exchanging it for Xue Yi would help her calm down.

The heavy sword slashed down normally, testing the Demon of Jealousy once again. The Demon of Jealousy saw that Leng Yihan's posture had become much bolder, obviously with more confidence. It became more cautious and did not take the attack head-on, but instead tried to deflect the attack by dissipating the force.

However, when she came into contact with the greatsword, although she couldn't see it, Leng Yihan could still feel the fluctuations in the emotions of the Demon of Jealousy. The Demon of Jealousy tried to withdraw his hand in time, but he had already forgotten that his right hand was once again horribly damaged and could not be restored immediately.

At the same time, Lin Yin, who was not far away, switched the bow and arrow she was holding to the Extreme Cold Bow, which was usually used in PVP. She drew the bow again and fired three arrows in quick succession, all of which were imbued with ice attributes, and shot them toward the Demon of Jealousy.

The Demon of Jealousy sensed the icy properties contained within the arrow this time and dared not take any more risks. If its power were to be like the greatsword in the boy's hand... then he would be in great danger.

"Hey, I'm going to take care of that girl, you hold this guy back!" the Demon of Jealousy shouted, and Leng Yihan and Lin Yin instantly became alert.

Not long after, a blue-haired girl with double buns came up from downstairs. Lin Yin was surprised when she saw her, "Wild, wild woman?!"

"Not necessarily, be careful." Having learned from the previous experience with the succubus Aoi, Leng Yihan dared not be careless, worried that someone else might be impersonating her to deceive her.

"Well, don't worry, brother, I am Binglan." Leng Binglan walked up with her hands behind her back and a half-smile on her face.

"Ice Blue? Why would you do this?" Leng Yihan asked, puzzled but also more wary.

"Well..." Leng Binglan pouted, "I get jealous too. You treat Lin Yin so well and care about her so much. It's like you only have her in your heart and there's no room for me at all. It makes me very sad. I'm not a saint. I can be jealous."

"Yes, yes! That's it!" Sensing Leng Binglan's jealousy, the Demon of Jealousy was overjoyed, as he could feel his power recovery speed accelerating.

“Ice Blue…” Leng Yihan wanted to say something, but she was speechless.

He wouldn't lie; indeed, Lin Yin held a higher place in his heart than Leng Binglan.

"Well... that's why this guy came. He said he could help me kill Lin Yin, so I brought him here~" Leng Binglan's smile was strange, and Leng Yihan also noticed something was off.

“However… although I don’t hold a very large place in Yihan’s heart, I still really like Yihan very much~” Leng Binglan said, “So, I brought this big gift for you, Yihan.”

Leng Binglan moved her hand away from behind her back, revealing a skill scroll in her left hand. Leng Yihan instinctively tensed up upon seeing this, thinking that Leng Binglan was really going to get serious.

However, things often take unexpected turns. How could Leng Binglan, who was behind the Demon of Jealousy, possibly have seen her take out a skill scroll?

"Soul Control!" Leng Binglan suddenly opened the scroll, and a beam of blue light shot towards the Demon of Jealousy, ultimately hitting it successfully.

"Brother, catch!" With that, Leng Binglan tossed the skill scroll in her hand toward Leng Yihan. Leng Yihan was stunned for a moment, then immediately caught the skill scroll and began to examine it.

[Skill Scroll: Soul Control]

[Effect: Controls an NPC. Upon hitting the target, the skill will initiate a three-second possession process. If the scroll is not destroyed after three seconds, the NPC will become the servant of the scroll holder, lasting indefinitely until the scroll is broken.]

[Note: This is a great skill, but also a rare one. Choose your target carefully when using it.]

Leng Yihan glanced at the skill scroll and a strange feeling arose in her heart. She also realized that this person was just someone Leng Binglan had tricked her into coming to deliver information.

But... were all of Binglan's words just lies?

"Hmph, how about it, brother? Isn't Binglan amazing?" Leng Binglan said smugly.

"Hmm, I admire you." Leng Yihan nodded. After hearing Leng Binglan's words, he didn't know how to face Leng Binglan and Lin Yin. He could only stare at the Demon of Jealousy, hoping that it would be controlled soon.

The skill description wasn't lying; exactly three seconds later, the black aura churning around the Demon of Jealousy gradually subsided.

Suddenly, the Demon of Jealousy, in his intangible form, made a gesture resembling kneeling: "Master, I will follow you for life, please stay..."

Well... he should indeed become my follower now. IceBlue has already spent such a precious scroll, if I can't get out some core questions this time, then I'll really be letting down the scroll I spent before.
