Yi Youyou was dumbfounded. She even felt that Qin Huanyu was trying to trick her, using special training as an excuse to flirt with her and take advantage of her.

Just as Yi Youyou hesitated and was about to refuse, Qin Huanyu suddenly grasped her hand and looked expectantly into her eyes:

"Please, Youyou, I really need your help... Youyou, you're the person I know who most resembles that female thief and has the best acting skills. If you don't help me, I'll have to ask someone else, like Ling'er..."

"No need to look for anyone else, I'll help you!"

By the time Yi Youyou realized what was happening, she had already finished speaking and was tightly gripping Qin Huanyu's hand behind her back, as if she were catching a girlfriend who was about to go out and cheat on her boyfriend.

"Uh-huh."

Qin Huanyu feigned cooperation as she was captured, her eyes filled with seductive allure:

"Okay, then I'll only ask Youyou to do this kind of special training from now on."

"……snort."

Yi Youyou blushed, finding Qin Huanyu's direct teasing somewhat overwhelming.

"Silly Ayu, you're flirting with me again... Let me tell you, I won't..."

"Huh? What are you saying, Youyou?"

Qin Huanyu suddenly stopped the car and made a puzzled expression:

"Youyou, have you misunderstood something? I am indeed a girl, but aren't we good friends and besties? You don't think I'm flirting with you, do you? Haha, how could that be? You know my criteria for a partner is that looks can't be lower than 95 points... Ouch!"

"Ayu, go to hell!"

Completely enraged, Yi Youyou pinched Qin Huanyu hard a few times, kicked her a few times, and then ran out of the master bedroom and back to her children's room.

Back in her own bed, she rolled around in her pillow for a couple of minutes. After calming down, Yi Youyou finally realized something was wrong.

'Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! I was so careless this time, I fell for Ayu's whole trap... Did I really become an idiot this time? Damn it!'

'Ayu is definitely more suspicious of my identity, maybe even certain... Hmph, that idiot is full of wicked schemes. If she really no longer suspects me, she'll probably pretend to still be suspicious and tease me, maybe even trick me into playing some kind of interrogation game! Ayu would absolutely do something so shameless!'

'But Ayu didn't do that... This can only mean that Ayu is even more convinced of my identity, but she doesn't have any other evidence yet, so she wants to keep me calm first and then look for an opportunity.'

'Once Ayu is certain of my identity, she'll quickly figure out my alibi through deduction and guesswork... She might even already be suspicious of Xiaoye and preparing to test her.'

'And the jealousy and hostility that Sayo showed towards Ayu... Oh no, I have to find a way to solve this, otherwise Ayu will really catch me and interrogate me! I'll be the one handcuffed and spanked! I don't want to end up like that stupid Ayu... Ugh, although Ayu seemed to be enjoying it, maybe I should try it myself?'

'Pah, pah, pah, what am I thinking... That wretched Ayu, she's even learned to use her charms on me... Sigh, karma comes so fast, I really miscalculated this time.'

'But Ah Yu like that... ugh, she's so tempting! I doubt anyone could resist in that situation, right? Even straight girls can be turned gay on the spot, let alone me...'

'Well……'

'I wonder if that idiot Ayu will treat Xiaoye the way she treated me when she tests her?'

'Can Xiaoye resist Ayu's charm? Don't be fooled by Xiaoye's current hostility towards Ayu; once she truly experiences Ayu's beauty, she'll probably fall for her instantly... After all, birds of a feather flock together. I'm a sucker for good looks, so my maid must be one too.'

'Besides, according to the rules, Xiaoye is supposed to be part of my dowry, so this seems... sob!'

'That wretched Ayu, what have you made me think of?! You've disturbed my Daoist mind! Ayu, you're practically a vixen! A succubus!'

"And knowing full well that I was likely someone else in disguise at that time, you still went to flirt with me... Humph... You scumbag, Ayu, you scumbag!"

Yi Youyou was filled with mixed emotions. She rolled around on the bed with a strip of blanket between her legs, knowing she would probably be asleep very late tonight.

...

Nineteen days after Qin Huanyu bought her new villa, news came from the Lingsu Research Institute that Qin Huanyu's external prosthetic body had been completed and she was to pick it up.

It was an alloy tail or alloy tentacle, in the form of a multi-segmented whip. It could connect to the alloy spine inside Qin Huanyu's body through a universal interface on Qin Huanyu's lower back, and was directly controlled by Qin Huanyu's brain, as flexibly as a human using their right hand.

This alloy tentacle is 2.2 meters long and has two forms.

The first form is the usual alloy tentacle form, with a cylindrical body. In battle, it can whip enemies like an iron whip or strangle them like a snake.

In addition, the tip of the alloy tentacle has a universal connector that can connect to various electronic devices, allowing Qin Huanyu to infiltrate via direct human-machine connection. This intrusion method makes Qin Huanyu almost like a high-level AI from science fiction, unstoppable by any firewall. However, the drawback is also obvious: it requires a direct physical connection.

Of course, that universal connector can not only be used to hack into enemy systems, but also allows Qin Huanyu to connect other technological devices as weapons... In daily life, it can also be used to connect some small toys for personal use.

The second form of the alloy tentacle is its true weapon form. Its cylindrical body can unfold into a multi-section chain-like alloy blade, just like a snake-belly sword.

The alloy blade is extremely sharp. It might not be very effective at penetrating armor, but it can easily cut through the flesh and blood of any carbon-based creature as if it were tofu, and even cuts through bones smoothly and evenly.

This is a new weapon that Qin Huanyu developed after careful consideration in order to make up for some of the shortcomings of the Kanglong Mace.

The Dragon-Slaying Mace and the Resonance Strike are indeed powerful, and when combined with Qin Huanyu's Mathematical Magic Eye, they can achieve physical indestructibility, capable of shattering most enemies with physical form in a single strike.

However, the activation speed of the Dragon-Slaying Mace is a bit slow, requiring the resonance frequency to be adjusted first. It is also easy to cause damage overflow when dealing with weaker enemies, wasting time. The Dragon-Slaying Mace is not so useful when facing a large number of enemy mobs in melee combat.

Thus, this alloy tentacle, shaped like a multi-sectioned chain alloy blade, was created, specifically designed to quickly eliminate unarmored and lightly armored mobs in close combat. Only heavily armored, high-defense elite enemies and enemy leaders require the use of the Dragon-Slaying Mace.

This alloy tentacle was designed by Qin Huanyu herself, and she drew all the design drawings herself. However, she did not make it herself, but entrusted the production to others in the Lingsu Research Institute.

The powerful prosthetics on Lü Meng's body demonstrate that these technologies are already quite mature in cutting-edge fields. Qin Huanyu only needs to provide the design blueprints; the actual manufacturing will be handled by the mechanical engineering experts at the research institute.

Ordinary people without the Mathematical Eyes are certainly not as efficient as Qin Huanyu in this regard, but human technology has been developing rapidly over the years, and those mechanical engineering experts are still very capable.

Indeed, Qin Huanyu conducted various tests after receiving the goods and was very satisfied. All the data of the alloy tentacle prosthesis fully met her design requirements.

The only pity is that Qin Huanyu has not accumulated enough Absolute Spirit Iron. Not to mention forging a pure Absolute Spirit Iron prosthetic like Lü Meng, she doesn't even have enough to coat the alloy tentacles with a layer of Absolute Spirit Iron.

Aside from the spirit-repelling iron used to plate the steel cable bracers, Qin Huanyu only had enough spirit-repelling iron left to forge a long needle, which she could attach to the tail of the alloy tentacle. This needle could be used to attack enemies in battle like a scorpion's stinger, which was better than nothing.

In this regard, Qin Huanyu even had a fight with Bai Ling as a test.

The effect is very good. The alloy tentacles with the Spirit-Slaying Iron Tail Needles installed can easily pierce through the White Spirit's magical water curtain defense. It should be able to break through the spirit element shields of other monsters or superhumans without any problem. This is enough for now.

In short, after the inspection, Qin Huanyu was very satisfied with the finished alloy tentacle. So she had Linglan use the tattoo sealing technique as agreed to seal the alloy tentacle next to the universal interface on her lower back, turning it into a tattoo in the shape of an ouroboros.

These tattoos don't interfere with daily life, but in battle, Qin Huanyu can easily retrieve her weapon from them with a mere thought. She already has two similar tattoos, one on her left arm and the other on her right, depicting an arc rifle and a dragon-slaying mace respectively.

With that, Linglan's house call and her deal with Qin Huanyu were completed. After the agreed-upon one-month period, Linglan left Baibo Huafu's villa and returned to the mountains.

"By the way, Dr. Lily of the Valley."

As they parted, Qin Huanyu winked at Linglan with a grin:

"The combined attack prosthetic body inside my body is still not completely stable. I may need you to come to my house for regular check-ups in the future. Please don't refuse."

"Well, don't worry."

Lily of the Valley's expression remained calm, revealing nothing unusual.

"This is my responsibility as a doctor."

After putting on this show for the people who came to pick up Linglan, thus laying the groundwork for inviting Linglan out of the mountains to play many times in the future, Qin Huanyu watched as the people from the Investigation Bureau took Linglan away.

Two days later, Yi Youyou was also scolded by Yi Qiushui over the phone. Reluctantly, she gave up her month-long life of slacking off and went back to work and cultivation.

It seemed that Hattori Sayo had finally reached her breaking point with Yi Youyou, and went to Yi Qiushui to complain about her. This time, Yi Qiushui completely sided with Hattori Sayo, saying that if Yi Youyou didn't go back, she would personally come and arrest her, and Yi Youyou dared not disobey.

"Bye-bye, Ayu."

In the terminal of Baiguang City Airport, Yi Youyou bid farewell to Qin Huanyu:

"Your new house is indeed quite big and very nice... If you have the chance, you're welcome to come to Shen Du for a visit. I can show you around the Yi family's old residence and Shen Du University. I heard you've never been to school before?"

"The school's pace is too slow; going to school is a complete waste of my time."

Upon hearing the word "school," a complex expression flashed in Qin Huanyu's eyes, but she ultimately curled her lip in disdain:

“I can master a year’s worth of courses in school in a week by self-studying.”

"Yes, yes, yes... I know you're amazing, Ayu, with your Math and Physics Magic Eye~~"

Yi Youyou chuckled:

"But the meaning of school is not just about learning knowledge, but also about interpersonal relationships. With your looks and personality, if you had gone to university, you would definitely have been the campus belle without a doubt, and who knows how many romantic stories and legendary tales you would have left behind."

"That's for sure! I refuse to believe there's anyone prettier than me in a mere school!"

Qin Huanyu was anything but modest about this, proudly shaking her head with her hands on her hips before asking with some curiosity:

"What about you, Youyou? Although your looks are a little less than mine, your figure and temperament are top-notch. Did you win the title of school beauty back in school?"

"You actually think I'm not good-looking?"

Yi Youyou immediately pinched Qin Huanyu in annoyance, then quickly regained her composure when she saw curious onlookers nearby. Then, seemingly remembering something, she gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, saying:

"No... I didn't get the title of school beauty. In my year, there was a girl who was also very beautiful and knew how to flirt. The boys were all dazed when they saw her, and the girls were often captivated by her too... She was the school beauty of my year, from childhood to adulthood."

"Oh? Someone actually managed to steal the title of school beauty from you, Youyou?"

Qin Huanyu was very surprised.

Although Yi Youyou's current disguise only scores around 80 points in terms of facial beauty, her figure and temperament are top-notch. Overall, she's a beauty with a score of over 90. How beautiful must the woman who can consistently outshine her be? How does she compare to the real Yi Youyou in her white-haired, blue-eyed form?

Qin Huanyu's surprise turned into curiosity:

"Who is she? Judging from your tone, you seem to know her quite well, right? When I go to the capital, could you invite her to dinner and introduce me to her?"

"...What? Ah Yu, you want to pursue her too?"

Yi Youyou's gaze immediately became wary.

"No, no, I just want to make another friend~~"

Qin Huanyu chuckled:

"Youyou, didn't you say it was a pity that I never went to school? Well, to make up for that, I should try to appreciate the school beauty, right?"

"There are so many things you can do at school! It's not just about going to see the school beauty!"

Yi Youyou glared at Qin Huanyu, then glanced at the time on her phone:

"Alright, I need to board the plane now, I don't have time to chat with you anymore... Anyway, if you have the chance, I really recommend you come and visit Shen Du University. Your father was a genius and a prominent figure there back in the day, one of the most outstanding students my grandmother had ever had during her decades as principal... There are no more than five people who could be considered the most outstanding."

"It's certain that my dad is amazing. Otherwise, how could someone from an ordinary family become the director of the Ling Su Research Institute? And how could he raise such an outstanding daughter as me?"

Qin Huanyu smugly blew on her father's sleeve and waved goodbye to Yi Youyou:

"Bye-bye, Youyou! I'll definitely visit the capital city sometime, and I'll be so grateful if you could be my tour guide then!"

. . . . .

"Your teacher has been back for several days now. When are you planning to go back to Nanhu City?"

After sending Yi Youyou away, only three people remained in the villa of Bai Bohua Mansion. Duanmu Ling was a homebody with no fixed routine, so only Qin Huanyu and Bai Ling were eating at the table. At this moment, Qin Huanyu was asking Bai Ling a question.

"I... things are pretty peaceful in Nanhu City lately, so it's fine if I don't rush back."

Bai Ling hesitated for a moment before answering, looking somewhat hesitant, as if she wanted to ask Qin Huanyu for help but was too embarrassed to say anything.

"What's wrong, Ling'er?"

Qin Huanyu saw this and said with a smile:

"Just let me know if there's anything I can help with. I'll definitely do my best to help, we're teammates after all."

"Yes, I know... The reason I hesitated is that I haven't figured out what specific request I should make to you, Sister Yu."

Bai Ling gave a wry smile, shoveled a couple more mouthfuls of rice into her bowl, ate a few pieces of chicken breast, and then took a deep breath and said:

“The Flower Monk made great progress in his cultivation in the Ghost Realm last time, and Sister Yu, your strength has increased significantly after the body modification... As your partner, I don’t want to hold you back, and I also want to strengthen myself, but I haven’t figured out exactly how to do it yet.”

Chapter 115 Forging the Jade Spirit Sword and Modifying the Female Ghost

"I understand. In short, Ling'er, you want to become stronger, but you haven't figured out a way to do so yet, so you need my help, right?"

Qin Huanyu nodded, took a bite of the braised beef on the table, and then gulped down several mouthfuls of the mushroom and wild vegetable soup, smacking her lips.

"Dr. Linglan's medical skills are unparalleled. Ling'er, you are her outstanding student and also the support healer in our team. Haven't your medical skills improved in the past month?"

"Hey, don't mention it, Sister Yu. This only makes me more upset."

Unexpectedly, Bai Ling became even more dejected, and the chicken breast in her mouth no longer tasted good.

“When my master sent me down the mountain to work in your human society, she said there was nothing more she could teach me. I didn’t believe it and I was not convinced, so this time I took the opportunity to pester my master to teach me more things.”

"I didn't expect my master to be right. I do have some talent in classical medicine, but that talent has its limits. My current medical skills are basically my limit. No matter how patiently my master teaches me, I just can't understand more advanced medical techniques... So I can only try to improve my combat power through magic."

"Combat power... But Ling'er, your combat power isn't weak either, is it?"

Qin Huanyu was still somewhat puzzled:

"Leaving aside your human form, if you were to transform into that giant serpent and be in the water, even if I and the Flower Monk joined forces, we might not be able to defeat you."

"It's incredibly shameful to be able to fight in your original form!"

Bai Ling blushed slightly and puffed out her cheeks:

“I don’t know much about other demon races, but for us White Snake female demons, transforming into our original form to fight is probably equivalent to you humans taking off your clothes and running wildly in the street. It’s something we absolutely can’t use unless it’s a last resort… That’s why I want to enhance my combat power in human form! But cultivating magic isn’t something you can become stronger overnight, so I can only ask you, Sister Yu, for help.”
