My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

I stopped in my tracks, my eyes filled with confusion, surprise, and anger as I looked at Yiwei, hoping he would stop what he was doing...

"Snuggling...why..." In the end, all the emotions were reduced to this one question: "why?"

For some reason, the scene before me suddenly became blurry. I wiped my eyes and found they were tears.

I...cried?

“Answer my question... Adeline.”

Ignoring me, Yiwei pressed the dagger closer to Adrie's throat, and blood began to flow, staining Adrie's neck red.

"No!" I gritted my teeth, my reason seemingly vanishing in an instant. It was absolutely impossible to watch my childhood friend die in front of me.

I know I can't beat Yiwei, but how can I know if I really can't beat him if I don't even try!

I stomped my left foot hard and charged at him in an instant. I saw the dagger in his other hand slashing towards him. I quickly tried to block it with my sword and then counterattack, but what I didn't expect was...

The sword broke, and the dagger stopped at my throat, just a hair's breadth away from taking my life.

Is everything... over...?

I closed my eyes in despair, awaiting the final judgment.

No wonder I felt the snuggling wasn't right... because it wasn't at all...

The familiar embrace...

"Ugh... What happened..." Leng Yihan slowly woke up from the ground and struggled to her feet.

"Huh?" Leng Yihan stood up and clapped her hands, only to see Bai Lin and Adelie lying in a pool of blood.

And his own blood-stained hands.

"W-What's going on?!"

Leng Yihan rushed to the two in a panic, her health already down to 5%, and she also had a bleeding and blood deficiency debuff.

"What to do, what to do, what to do!"

Kill them! Of course, kill them!

A voice roared in Leng Yihan's mind, and her hands reached uncontrollably for the blood-stained dagger at her waist.

"What am I doing!" Leng Yihan slapped herself awake and quickly took out a prop to buy some time.

[Sands of Time: Pauses time within a certain range; if not replenished, it only lasts for one hour.]

Suppressing her murderous urges, Leng Yihan placed Adeline and Bailin together, scattered the Sands of Time around them, and then quickly switched accounts.

I don't know if it will work... but I'll give it a try anyway!

Extreme Cold returned to the guild hall, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground. The scene that had happened in the cave kept replaying in Leng Yihan's mind.

"We need to hurry..."

Wiping away her cold sweat, Leng Yihan stood up and rushed out of the guild hall, only to bump into the three people returning.

"Hey? Extreme Cold, what are you doing...?"

"Sorry, we'll talk later!" Leng Yihan dodged Lin Yin and the other two, swapped her equipment for speed-enhancing gear, and immediately headed towards Fengmo Valley after teleporting to the level 20 main city.

On the way, Leng Yihan looked at his hands, which were still the same hands that had been criticized many times for being like a woman's hands, but these hands were just covered in blood. However, the blood on his hands was none of his business.

The pure, murderous urge that had been stirring within him was gone. He shook his head, trying to forget the nightmarish scene in his mind. With his divine gear accelerating him, he quickly arrived at the Sealed Demon Valley. However, the purple mist had already dissipated, revealing the bottomless depths of the valley.

As Leng Yihan unleashed her sword intent and charged down the stairs, she received a message from Lin Yin.

Voice: What's wrong...? I just saw you sitting on the ground in the guild lobby and wiping your forehead... It seems like something terrible happened. What's wrong?

Was it terrifying? Well, I guess so. After all, it was the first time I'd ever seen so much blood. It would be a miracle if I didn't break down.

Me: Fengmo Valley is now open, but one of the eight forbidden areas is missing. Come if you need anything.

After giving a brief reply, and seeing the bottom, he didn't take the stairs anymore. Instead, he jumped down to the bottom of the valley, timed his triple slash perfectly to be immune to fall damage, and immediately rushed towards the cave he remembered.

They soon arrived at the Inheritance Chamber. Sure enough, Bai Lin and Adelie collapsed not far from the chamber. Bai Lin took out a bottle of blood potion from her bag, walked over to the two of them, broke through the encirclement of the Sands of Time, and immediately fed them two pills. Then she poured a bottle of red liquid down their throats.

SCP-500: Eliminates all negative status effects and repairs physical damage.

Dragon Blood (Diluted): Restores 100% of HP; usable only by players level 30 and above.

Watching the wounds on their necks gradually heal, their health return to 100%, and the two debuffs disappear, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned wearily against the stone wall next to them.

There's no pool of blood... what's going on... but could it be that I'm hallucinating because of the character I'm leaning on...?

After confirming that the two were alright and putting her mind at ease, Leng Yihan began to observe her surroundings and noticed something was amiss.

The pool of blood is gone...

Walk up to the blade embedded in the stone wall and examine it; only this and the two injured men can prove what really happened here before.

Kill...them? Who's encouraging me to...?

Recalling the scenes of them snuggling together, Leng Yihan couldn't help but frown.

After switching to the Netherworld Dancer class... I'm definitely different now. My killing intent is stronger, and I've lost that composure.

The sound of the blade slicing through the air was casually blocked by Leng Yihan's drawn katana. Turning around, she saw Bai Lin with fear in her eyes, holding a sword that had been mostly cut off.

"No...you're not Yiwei, Bailin! He's Jihan! Jihan, the Elven royal family!" Adrie shouted excitedly from behind Bailin.

"...Really...?" Bai Lin hesitated and put down the sword in her hand, looking at Ji Han, who looked just like Yi Wei.

“Yiwei is dead, so you are all safe now.” Leng Yihan was silent for a while before saying that she decided to keep them away from Yiwei so that she wouldn’t hurt them again when she logged on.

"Huh?! How could this be..." Bai Lin stared at Leng Yihan in surprise.

"And those four guys who guarded the Demon Sealing Valley... they're dead too, killed by Yiwei's blade," Leng Yihan said again, sighing inwardly.

I'm sorry, Bai Lin. Please don't have anything to do with Yi Wei anymore. Just hate him and become stronger. Consider it a goal for you.

“Lord Arctic… thank you for saving us…” Adeline walked up to him and knelt down before him.

"Um... cough cough, I want to know why Yiwei attacked you." Leng Yihan saw Adrie kneeling down, paused for a moment, then coughed lightly and asked, also trying to find out indirectly why Adrie said Yiwei was an elven royal.

"This is what happened..." Adrie went on and on, though I didn't pay much attention to most of it. But the gist was that Adrie did sense the aura of elven royalty on Yiwei, though it was faint, she could still recognize it. As a result, when Bailin's inheritance ended, Yiwei suddenly attacked them, saying that Jihan was elven royalty but he wasn't. Then Bailin came to stop her and had her throat slit as well. After that, she didn't know what happened.

"Why..." Leng Yihan lowered her head in thought, but suddenly remembered something.

Lin Yin was another one who obtained the status of the Elf Royal Family that time, and Lin Yin and Yi Wei had spent a long time together.

So... the reason he exudes the aura of elven royalty when he's close to someone is because of Lin Yin?

“I could have told you, but because I haven’t been in contact with the elven royal family for so long, I didn’t realize that Yiwei had been tainted by their aura…” Adrie said with distress, looking apologetically at Bailin.

"...Your name is Bai Lin, right? Don't be too upset. The changes in Yi Wei are probably related to the Netherworld Dancer. I will investigate this matter later. Please calm down..."

“Lord Extreme Cold…and Adelie…let me calm down…” Bai Lin sat down, buried her face in her knees to hide her expression, and said.

Leng Yihan and Adeline exchanged a glance and left the cave. After exiting the cave, Adeline looked up and exclaimed in surprise.

"The purple mist... is gone?! Then what about the Sealed Demon Valley...?"

"Yes, the Sealed Demon Valley, one of the eight forbidden areas, is no longer considered one after the deaths of its four guardians."

Leng Yihan looked up and guessed that many people would soon arrive at Fengmo Valley, but no one should have noticed it yet.

"Huh?! Someone's here!" Adrie suddenly pointed to a black dot falling from the sky.

"...My companions have arrived. Take this. After you go up, return to Baijia Village. I will come to find you. Go back and call Bai Lin."

"Huh? This isn't..."

Adelie took the Poké Ball from Leng Yihan and remembered the one she had nestled in.

"As long as you think about the terrain of Baijia Village after it is summoned, it will automatically take you there. Go."

"Hmm..." Adeline put the Poké Ball away and walked back to the cave.

As the black dot grew larger, the silhouette of a unicorn appeared, along with the three people on it.

As the unicorn approached the ground, it flapped its wings repeatedly to slow its descent.

"You guys are having a really exciting time..." Leng Yihan said speechlessly, looking at the three people on the unicorn's back.

"Extreme cold... What happened?" Lin Yin jumped off her horse and asked nervously.

"Wait... you might have to prepare to die and return to the city."

"Hey?!"

"What? You want to hit me?!"

Yu Xiao immediately raised the spear in her hand to guard against Leng Yihan.

"Wait, let the people behind go first."

Leng Yihan turned around and pointed to the cave behind her. Bai Lin and Adelie walked out side by side.

"You two should hurry up and leave. Yiwei isn't quite dead yet. I'll call my companions to finish him off. The residual effects of the battle might kill you both. Hurry up and leave," Leng Yihan said calmly.

"Yiwei isn't dead yet?!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lin, who had been silent, suddenly became excited.

What's going on?

"Please don't kill him! I still have something I want to say to him! If you can!"

Bai Lin grabbed his hand, looking pleadingly into his eyes, while the three players behind her were completely bewildered.

"Are these two NPCs?" Leng Binglan asked.

"Extreme Cold flirted with an NPC..." Lin Yin rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Wonderful!" Yu Xiao exclaimed, now holding a bucket of popcorn.

I heard you three whispering, hey!

"...I will do my best. After all, he is my own brother. You should leave quickly, it won't be safe here soon." Leng Yihan forced herself to remain calm and continued to make up a story.

This NPC... could he have fallen for me...?

No, no, no, it can't be an illusion! She's an NPC! Just game data! Game data! Game data! And the kind of illusion that someone likes me is absolutely impossible! We've only known each other for a few days!

He silently screamed repeatedly in his mind, reminding himself that the pitiful and adorable person in front of him was game data, and that it was impossible, absolutely impossible, for her to like him.

"Okay... Xiaoli and I will go back first." Bai Lin let go of Leng Yihan's hand and walked towards the stairs with Adeline.
