My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Wait...wait?! The Demon King...is in the Stairway to Godhood...what's going on? Wasn't he supposed to be unable to come to the Forest of Vanishing Demons?!" Leng Yihan wiped away non-existent cold sweat.

“The Divine Ladder is not within the Forest of the Fallen Demons, so he can come here…” Leng Binglan’s tone was a bit off, “…He did it with the help of a divine artifact. As long as he sits on it, he is infinitely close to the 18th level.”

"Wait... the eighteenth level?!" Leng Yihan exclaimed in shock. What did the eighteenth level mean? A god... if one was infinitely close to the eighteenth level...

“If I’m not mistaken, something must have happened to him recently that caused him to be at level 5 of the 17th rank. But with such a divine artifact in hand, he’s experiencing the power of the 18th rank. With his talent, he should be able to break through to the 18th rank soon…” Leng Binglan said. “After I met him, he didn’t attack immediately, just like when we met him in the Oracle last time. But we still fought fiercely. It seems that coming to the Ascension Ladder had exhausted a lot of his power, so he withdrew not long after… At that time, I didn’t have much energy either. I just fought for a while before I couldn’t hold on anymore.”

"Is that so..." Leng Yihan nodded. "Then you should rest well first. I'll talk to them and tell them to try not to climb the Divine Ladder."

"Mm." Leng Binglan nodded in agreement, then closed her eyes.

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she just felt like all her strength had been drained from her body, and... and she even missed the feeling of being bound by tentacles...

No, that's not right! Am I a masochist?! How can I think about these things?! Time to sleep!

She quickly interrupted her strange thoughts, and after watching Leng Yihan leave, Leng Binglan lay down, closed her eyes again, and soon drifted off to sleep...

-

After leaving Leng Binglan's room, Leng Yihan gathered everyone in her room and explained what Leng Binglan had said.

"In that case... wouldn't he also be able to attack us in the other three spaces?" Fei Xue asked after listening to Leng Yihan's explanation.

“No, that’s not true.” Kang Meng shook her head. “The other three spaces are still within the Forest of the Fallen Demons in every sense… In fact, they are spaces created within the Forest of the Fallen Demons. These three spaces are still within the Forest of the Fallen Demons, so the Demon King cannot come.”

“But the Ascension to Godhood is different… I estimate that thing might be some kind of ruin. Anyway, the main body isn’t in the Forest of the Fallen Demons. The World Tree is just a passage that can directly teleport you to the World Tree. After the Demon King sat on that throne, he basically had a certain degree of control over the entire world. Moreover, we had contact with him before. Maybe he left some kind of mark on us to make it easier for him to find us. That’s why he was able to pinpoint our location and capture Binglan… But it seems that breaking into the Ascension to Godhood took a lot of his power. Otherwise, Leng Binglan shouldn’t have been able to force the Demon King to back down…” Kang Meng said a lot in one breath. Leng Yihan glanced at Feixue. Although she still looked a little confused, she seemed to have understood quite a bit.

By the way, I know you're probably wondering why Leng Binglan was fully dressed when she came out. Actually, only willpower can enter the God-Ascending Ladder. That is to say, Leng Binglan inside the God-Ascending Ladder was actually a projection of her will. At that time, she was completely unaware of this. She only realized it when she left the palace temporarily created by the Demon King. However, by then it was too late to regret it, as the contract had already been signed.

"So, Yihan, what are you planning to do next?" Xiao Yulin asked, looking at Leng Yihan.

"What else can we do but wait?" Leng Yihan shrugged helplessly. "Our strength is undoubtedly no match for the Demon King. We can only wait for Luo Qi to break through."

"Looks like this is the only way..." Yi Tianzhai sighed. "I never expected to encounter someone so powerful... By the way, will he invade our world?"

“…” Leng Yihan glanced at Yi Tianzhai, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, “Yes.”

"..." Yi Tianzhai didn't speak, but if Leng Yihan wasn't mistaken, he was devastated.

"By the way, Yihan, what are you going to do with those people?" Feixue suddenly remembered the NPCs that Leng Yihan had brought back and asked Leng Yihan.

“Oh… this…” Leng Yihan frowned and sighed, “They’re a bit of a problem… I can only see if Luo Qi is willing to help me take care of them.”

As it turned out, the move I made was utterly insignificant... a complete joke in the face of the Demon King's power...

"Okay, let's settle on that then. Let's go out and explore as planned," Xiao Yulin said after looking at the others. The original plan he was referring to was the original plan for one of the two groups to explore the city.

"You all go ahead, I'll go check on the people I brought back," Leng Yihan said.

"no problem."

After deciding on their next move, the four left the villa. Leng Yihan went to the first floor of the villa, where there was one last room for them. Originally, Leng Yihan wanted them not to stay in such a cramped space, but Mu Yi and the others were already used to being together and didn't feel the need to refuse.

Leng Yihan arrived at the door where Mu and the others were, but did not knock; instead, she pushed the door open and went inside.

"..."

"..." In an instant, Leng Yihan's gaze fell on Mu, who was being pinned against the wall by Gu Miaojuan, while Mu was holding Xiao Ling, who refused to let go of him no matter what.

“…Sorry to bother you.” Leng Yihan said, then closed the door behind her.

Ah... a harem, huh? So the harem is made up of men who are all deeply sinful.

Rapid footsteps sounded, and the door was flung open. It wasn't anyone else who opened it, but Gu Miaojuan…

"Um, sir, you've misunderstood! I, I have nothing to do with Mu..." Gu Miaojuan said hurriedly as soon as she saw Leng Yihan still standing at the door.

"Pfft, it's nothing, it's nothing, I won't be in any danger..." Leng Yihan chuckled softly.

"Huh?" Gu Miaojuan was taken aback after hearing Leng Yihan's answer. "But, but, sir, don't you like Mu...?"

“…” Leng Yihan raised an eyebrow. “Ah! No… please pretend I didn’t say anything…” Gu Miaojuan quickly said, seemingly sensing Leng Yihan’s displeasure.

"I said... do you think I'm a boy or a girl?" Leng Yihan said expressionlessly.

"Huh? It's a girl, right..." Gu Miaojuan hesitated for a moment before saying.

"No, no, no! You're completely wrong! I'm a boy! Is it really that hard to recognize me? Is it really that difficult?!" Leng Yihan complained.

Damn it, this face of mine... Why can't I just have a handsome face instead of a pretty one?! Does it have to be this cute?!

"Huh?! Is that so?!" Gu Miaojuan seemed to be greatly shocked after hearing the truth, and took several steps back.

"..." Leng Yihan's eyebrows twitched. She took a deep breath and went inside, closing the door behind her.

Calm down, I absolutely cannot get angry about this anymore... absolutely not...

After Leng Yihan went inside, she glanced at where Mu was and realized that he was being held down by Xiao Ling and couldn't get up at all.

"Ah... my benefactor..." Mu smiled awkwardly when he saw Leng Yihan come in.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Come here, I have something to ask you..."

252 Waiting (18)

"What's wrong, benefactor?" After hearing Leng Yihan's words, Mu gestured for Xiaoling to get off him. Although she was a little reluctant, Xiaoling knew that she couldn't be so willful with a certain important person present.

Reluctantly getting off Mu, Mu got up and walked to Leng Yihan's side.

"How is he?" Leng Yihan sat down on a stool and pointed to Xiao Niu lying on the bed.

“The calf is recovering quickly, but I don’t know why it still hasn’t woken up…” Mu said, a little worried on his face.

"I see..." Upon hearing this, Leng Yihan stood up and walked to Xiao Niu's bedside, trying to check the data, but ultimately failed.

"...He probably won't die, but I guess he's been too tense lately, and now that he's suddenly relaxed, he naturally wants to get a good night's sleep." Leng Yihan thought for a moment and said, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go prepare some for you."

"Oh? No, no need, benefactor! We can prepare it ourselves!" Gu Miaojuan immediately said when she heard that Leng Yihan was going to help them prepare the food.

“…Alright then, Gu Miaojuan, you can cook, right?” Leng Yihan said, looking at Gu Miaojuan.

“Ah…yes…” Gu Miaojuan nodded.

"Alright, you'll be in charge of our meals while we're here," Leng Yihan said, "as rent."

"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing Leng Yihan's words, Gu Miaojuan immediately nodded vigorously.

“Okay then~” Leng Yihan said, glancing out the window. It was probably already noon… and she was starting to feel a little hungry herself…

Never mind, if possible, let's wait until this calf wakes up before eating it.

With this in mind, Leng Yihan started looking for topics to talk about. All she had to do now was wait. She just hoped Luo Qi would act quickly, since the longer she waited, the greater the chance of failure…

"By the way, how did you escape the demons' pursuit back then?" Leng Yihan suddenly thought of this question and became curious.

"Back then, we younger generation all ran separately, and... all the elders sacrificed themselves to hold back the main force of the demons." Mu gave a bitter smile.

Oops... I accidentally touched on someone's sore spot...

Seeing the dejected expressions on their faces, Leng Yihan opened her mouth, unsure of what to say. In the end, she realized she had no idea how to comfort anyone…

"...Besides, I was very nervous at the time, and Xiaoling almost got caught...but in the end, I sacrificed my left hand to save her life. Looking back now, it was definitely a worthwhile deal." Mu said, taking Xiaoling's hand with a look of doting affection.

...It's not really dog ​​food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), after all, the emotions in Mu's eyes...are just the kind of doting affection a brother has for his sister.

"Hey hey hey..."

I don't know if Leng Yihan saw it wrong... Xiaoling actually had a slightly infatuated smile on her face, and her laughter was a little happy.

"I see..." Leng Yihan said, then fell silent, suddenly realizing she didn't know what to ask.

"Ugh..." A groan came from the bed. The group immediately turned to look and saw that the calf struggled for a moment and slowly got up.

"Little Niu!" Mu quickly stepped forward. Little Niu heard Mu's voice, looked up at Mu with a little confusion, and blinked.

"Huh? Mu? I...I'm not dead?!" Xiao Niu suddenly opened his eyes wide and quickly looked around. Xiao Ling and Gu Miaojuan were both there. Moreover, he was now in a rather luxurious room, and at the table in the room, a cute-looking person whose appearance was difficult to distinguish between male and female was looking at him.

"Mu... what's wrong?" Little Niu touched his head, still feeling a bit of a headache.

"You should get some more sleep, you're too tired," Leng Yihan said. "Or are you hungry now? Do you need something to eat?" Gu Miaojuan asked.

"Ah... I, I'm a little hungry..." the calf blinked and said.

"Gu Miaojuan, go prepare lunch. I'm going upstairs to call the other person. Don't prepare too much. Everyone else has gone out. When it's ready, come to the room at the very end of the second floor and call me." Leng Yihan said, then stood up and left the room. She should leave some space for the four of them.

Leng Yihan went up to the second floor and headed straight for Leng Binglan's room. She was about to push open the door when she suddenly stopped twisting the handle.

“…Hello, Binglan?” Leng Yihan reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. Then Leng Yihan pushed the door open and came in.

"Hmm... Yi Han?" Leng Binglan didn't seem to be sleeping very deeply. When she heard someone open the door, she opened her eyes groggily.

"Yes, it's me." Leng Yihan walked over and sat down next to Leng Binglan. He had closed the door behind him when he came in.

"What's wrong, brother..." Leng Binglan replied groggily, her eyes tightly closed, seemingly very sleepy.

"I'm here to call you for lunch, although you can wait a little longer," Leng Yihan said.

"Oh, I see... Then please call me when it's ready..." Leng Binglan said, then shrank back into the blankets.

Leng Yihan looked around for a while, then casually changed her clothes into the pajamas she had in her backpack and crawled into bed.

"Hmm... Brother? What are you doing..." Leng Yihan casually hugged Leng Binglan. Feeling that she was being hugged by Leng Yihan, Leng Binglan did not make any further movements.

“It’s nothing, I just suddenly wanted to hug you and spend some time with you, is that not allowed…” Leng Yihan said softly.

“…Hmm.” Cold blue.

"Brother... what if we don't get back the secret method to turn Lin Yin back into a normal person this time... what should we do?" Leng Binglan said, burying her head in Leng Yihan's arms.

“…I don’t know,” Leng Yihan said. “I don’t know what to do, so I have to find a solution…”

"...Yes, Binglan will always be with you. As long as you still want Binglan, Binglan will never leave you in this lifetime..." Leng Binglan reached out and hugged Leng Yihan, saying.

"...Thank you," Leng Yihan said softly, gradually becoming sleepy herself.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but suddenly I feel like my chest is getting a little damp.

Never mind... I'll just take a nap...

Fortunately, Leng Yihan stopped resisting sleepiness and let it take over her mind.

"Another perfect arrow..." the Ice Demon exclaimed, stepping forward to collect the monster's corpse.

"..." Lin Yin did not reply to the Ice Demon's words. If it weren't for the leader's request, she probably wouldn't have teamed up with the Ice Demon.
