This time I chose Paladin

In the corner, the woman who had walked out from behind He Li had a face as pale as paper.

This was a woman who looked very intellectual. She was beautiful and tall, with a hint of purple light in the depths of her pupils. She stared blankly at the river, at the waves that no longer moved, and then slowly turned to Nie Weiyang in the distance.

The clear light of the silver moon illuminated the sky and earth, and fell on the tall figure.

An emotion gradually emerged from the woman's eyes, a sharp - piercing -

——hatred.

A bright purple light flashed in her eyes, and the hearts of everyone around her moved. A voice sounded in their minds, like a soft ballad.

Nie Weiyang felt something in his heart. He raised his eyes and looked at the strange woman in the crowd.

In that murderous intent, there was a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling that surprised him a little.

"Spiritual cultivation? Is this... Worshiping the Moon...?"

Although he had met this person in a previous life, he was so well-protected back then that he only knew her as a spiritual practitioner. However, since he wasn't involved in the events surrounding Hebo, he had no idea that Hebo's military advisor, Bai Yuesheng, was actually a woman.

Now, facing the power displayed by the other party, Nie Weiyang showed a hint of interest.

"Mind interference, similar to Chen Hu's..."

Nie Weiyang started laughing again.

27 No.

Chapter 116 Bang!

Bai Yue was born with the surname Bai.

This surname is not very common.

Originally named Baiyue, she later changed her name. She entered the New World while traveling by the Great River, landing together with people from the same hotel. Survival in the primitive new world was difficult, but her profession gave her mind manipulation and telekinesis—powers she had always dreamed of.

The New World is a wonderful place.

However, the rivers here were untamed, violent and cruel. On the fifth day of the rainy season, a sudden flood killed many. Bai Yuesheng watched from afar as the police attempting to rescue people disappeared into the torrent along with the people they had saved. He reaffirmed his resolve to protect himself and prepared to flee.

But just as the crowd was about to fall into chaos, one man stood up.

The man's name is He Li.

He Li was a very charming man, at least in Bai Yuesheng's eyes. He possessed a desire for control, pretense, adventure, plunder, and the ability to weigh the pros and cons. In her eyes, he was the embodiment of wisdom and strength.

But he is not wise enough...

He needed her help.

He Li was very wary of her at first, but after one night, his attitude obviously changed.

This is of course true. It is difficult for a man who thinks he has great talent and ambition to have no good feelings towards a beautiful woman who has capital, ability, usefulness and obeys him in everything.

Bai Yuesheng knows the rules of the game of sex and love better than anyone else. After all, she is very beautiful, truly beautiful. She has become accustomed to the days when someone would give her everything as long as she smiles, just like some men are accustomed to the days when there are always women thinking about them.

He Li is the latter type of person. He really thinks that Bai Yuesheng is in love with him, even though the emotions expressed by Bai Yuesheng are due to the suspension bridge effect and the need to survive - it doesn't matter, it just makes him more confident.

The two of them are a perfect match.

Bai Yuesheng was so convinced, especially when He Li discussed future developments and conspiracy theories with her, gifted her with goodies as if they were rewards, and even offered her a drop of luminous, glass-like water from that necklace that had appeared out of nowhere. She felt as if this world were a novel, and she was the heroine beside the male protagonist. They were the future Water God and his partner, and she would be irreplaceable...

But she would occasionally think of the day she first arrived and the shock she felt when she saw the system announcement.

Nie Weiyang, this name cannot be erased from her heart. After all, if a person does something that the whole world cannot understand, he will definitely be remembered by everyone.

That's how she wanted to be remembered, no matter how.

Things took a turn one day before the blood moon rose, when a group of guests arrived at the camp in the cave.

This group of people called themselves the Apostles of Return and dressed like some kind of cultists... oh, they really were.

When Bai Yuesheng realized this, alarm bells started ringing in his heart.

The new world has arrived here, and in less than three months, these people have been so well prepared... This can only prove that they are related to the arrival of the new world!

These people were clearly at odds with the authorities, which disproved some of her previous conspiracy theories. But Bai Yuesheng didn't care. She and He Li both believed that with the help of the great rivers of this world, they could deal with these people.

In fact, they really did it. For a month or two, they had been cooperating with the Return Sect without any problems, and they even received many gifts from the Return Sect.

During this period of dealings, Bai Yuesheng gradually understood the philosophy of the Return Sect, and also realized that there was indeed a powerful existence behind the Return Sect.

She had no interest in returning to her hometown, but she was very interested in returning to her true self and those beings known as the 'Sky-crossing Demons'.

She considered herself a sober and rational person. She joined the Return Sect and accepted the blessing of the Dukong Demon, but this did not affect her love for He Li. However, He Li had a big fight with her and was not as obedient to her as before.

However, during the rising blood moon, she played a huge role and they returned to the way they were before.

Bai Yuesheng originally planned to go to the territory of the Return Sect to take a look, but more than half a month after the blood moon rose, her charm panel reached 50 points - her charm was originally high, and although the main point was spirit, her charm was the first to reach this level.

The 'Charisma Advanced Mission' required her to create an indelible and strong impact on a powerful person in the top 5% of combat power, and then perform mental manipulation at the end.

Bai Yuesheng didn't consider herself a dodder who relied on the powerful. She couldn't understand why the mission required her to do this, but at this point, she had to do what she had to do. Fortunately, He Li's strength was fully qualified, which meant she didn't have to look for other mission targets.

As the days passed, her mission progress reached 50%...

Seeing that she could obtain powerful passive skills as long as she followed the procedures, Bai Yuesheng smiled with joy.

She and He Li had been through thick and thin together, so naturally, the other party trusted and loved her... They even led a group to kill a BOSS together, and her name appeared in front of the whole world as the second contributor!

What a wonderful feeling!

Six hours later, they rested and went to greet a messenger from the Return Sect. This person had been near their camp once before, when the Return Sect team used their spirits to call them out to pick him up. Bai Yuesheng had originally thought that if these people would not be a nuisance when they returned, she would leave with them and make a pilgrimage to the Return Sect headquarters.

But when she saw the other person in person, her haggardness, panic and pain made her realize that something was wrong.

…Where are her teammates?

Could this person be being hunted?

Bai Yuesheng silently suppressed her thoughts, pretending that she hadn't thought about anything, and cooperated with He Li to send the woman across the river.

It’s not the right time yet... She will wait until she becomes strong enough, and then return to the sect with He Li who is under mental control!

Then, a man walked up to them.

Bai Yuesheng: “?”

He Li: “?”

The man introduced himself as Nie Weiyang.

Bai Yuesheng: “!”

He Li: “?!”

——Shit, the one chasing that woman was Nie Weiyang?

Bai Yuesheng realized this the first time. She wanted to persuade He Li not to have a conflict with Nie Weiyang, but He Li obviously didn't think so.

Then, He Li died, and the mission progress regressed to 0%...

……Oh shit!

Bai Yuesheng's mind was about to collapse. She stared at Nie Weiyang intently, and Nie Weiyang looked back. Although his gaze was obscured by his sunglasses, she knew clearly that he was looking at her as if she were a blade of grass, a leaf, or an ordinary person. His gaze was gentle and calm, completely different from the terrifying atmosphere he had created. She realized that she had hit a hard point, because she could not feel any outward emotions, nor could she feel the thoughts that many men have about beautiful women. She felt as if she was seeing a mountain, a sky, a star, a clear white sun...

But not alone.

……

Fuck!

What the hell is this!

Bai Yuesheng thrust her hands forward, a purple light flashing in her eyes, and everyone around her rushed towards Nie Weiyang. Among these people were men, women, young and old, even children led by their parents. They were all combat professionals, and two of the imaginative children were magicians. They pulled magic wands from their backpacks and swung star-like streams of light at Nie Weiyang!

There was a purple glow in the eyes of these people, and they all relied on their abilities, looking as if they were going to kill Nie Weiyang.

But Bai Yuesheng turned around and jumped up, cleanly and efficiently!

‘Bang! ’

She jumped into the river.

This act of seemingly committing suicide for love was actually just an escape. The drop of water she drank allowed her to survive in the river, and she would not be attacked by Habaek in any non-combat situation.

As Bai Yuesheng was swept away by the current, her control over the crowd naturally weakened. Nie Weiyang dodged an attack, gently pushed away the child who was rushing towards him, and threw her to her parents.

"Disperse, and stop getting involved with the Return Sect." He sighed, "That's just how they are, you've seen it too.

"Don't worship any water gods anymore. There are no gods in water."

The purple color in the eyes of the group of people faded away, they came back to their senses in confusion and looked at each other.

Chapter 117 I Think You Are Here

Human beings are very complicated. Sometimes they will do amazing things for their beliefs, and sometimes even if an important person dies, the desire to survive can make them bow their heads, endure, and go their separate ways.

Nie Weiyang had also experienced this pain and confusion. He was even aware that he would be hated, but he remained calm, as long as these people did not retaliate against society. Hatred was acceptable, but what was unacceptable was harmful behavior. If everyone who hated him was to be killed, it would be no different from indiscriminate killing.

But in his opinion, apart from Bai Yuesheng, there is no one in this group who wants to take revenge on society.

Otherwise, they would not be ruled by someone like He Li.

As for worshipping the moon...

This person's state is very interesting. In his previous life, he heard that this person was disfigured and not so charming. Now, suddenly seeing Bai Yuesheng like this, Nie Weiyang was very curious about what the other party was like.

Moreover, that woman was obviously connected to the Regression sect and was too aware of the current situation.

Can be cowardly, dare to be cowardly, and know how to be cowardly.

Such an enemy...

The young man glanced at Da He and swung the necklace in his hand.
