49. Phantom Spirit Yaoyao
Phantom Spirit?
An actual Phantom Spirit!
Meng Lian stared at the palm-sized girl before her, her eyes filled with shock.
Phantom Spirits and Spirit Creatures were completely different. Phantom Spirits were far rarer than Spirit Creatures. According to ancient Alliance records, Phantom Spirits only lived within illusions and were invisible to ordinary people. The Alliance had long believed that Phantom Spirits were already extinct.
"I'm Yaoyao, this book's Phantom Spirit. Hehe, you've found yourself a treasure."
Yaoyao saw Meng Lian's golden vertical pupils and a trace of understanding flashed through her eyes.
Sure enough...
"You mean you're the Phantom Spirit of the Sky Mirage True Demon Technique?"
Meng Lian glanced at the Sky Mirage True Demon Technique in her hand, feeling puzzled. A book's Phantom Spirit? She had never heard of such a thing.
"You're making a fuss over nothing. The universe is vast. There are plenty of things you've never heard of."
Yaoyao flew onto the cover and spoke with the air of someone much older.
"This book is a unique copy. Throughout history, only those who possess heterochromatic eyes can see me."
"And your Sky Mirage True Demon Pupils... well, I have to say, your luck is truly remarkable. My first master also had the Sky Mirage True Demon Pupils. This book is practically tailor-made for you."
That much of a coincidence?
Hearing this, Meng Lian's heart stirred.
"Hello, I'm Meng Lian. Please take care of me from now on."
Since this was the book's Phantom Spirit, she must know the Sky Mirage True Demon Technique very well. Plus, with so many previous masters, some of them were bound to be big shots. This Phantom Spirit would definitely be the best teacher for learning illusion arts in the future. Building a good relationship couldn't hurt.
"At least you know what's what. In the entire universe, besides that person, I'm the most familiar with this book. Take good care of me, and I certainly won't treat you badly."
Meng Lian's thoughts were easy to read, and Yaoyao seemed to eat up this attitude, looking thoroughly tsundere.
"Here's the deal. Every month, you just need to let me consume a little of your magic power, and then you can ask me ten questions. How about that? Quite a bargain, right?"
Magic power? How exactly was she supposed to eat that?
"Oh my, you really are stupid. Just stick out your finger."
Meng Lian extended her slender index finger. Her crystal-clear nail shimmered with a pink glow under the sunlight. Yaoyao stuck out her tongue and licked the fingertip.
It felt a bit cold, but actually, quite pleasant.
Watching this scene, Meng Lian's mind wandered to some rather explicit imagery.
Just then, she also felt a portion of her magic power flowing out through her fingertip, but the amount was very small. Meng Lian didn't feel any discomfort at all. Instead, it felt rather pleasurable.
"Strange, the taste is clear and pure, but why does the texture feel so much like zombie magic power?"
Now Yaoyao became puzzled instead.
She had once had a zombie master, so she wasn't unfamiliar with this taste.
"Zombie?"
Meng Lian thought of Jiang Jiang. She didn't understand how zombies were involved.
"How peculiar."
Yaoyao was completely baffled. She flew before Meng Lian's eyes and examined her from all angles, then landed on her slender neck. Her tiny feet stepped on Meng Lian's soft skin, creating quite an alluring picture.
"Are you a succubus?"
Yaoyao suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent and exclaimed in surprise.
"Succubus? Please, I'm human. Well, I was human before becoming a witch. How could I possibly be a succubus?"
Meng Lian didn't understand how she had gotten tangled up with succubi now. She complained weakly.
If she had to say her Nordlin self was a succubus, she might believe it. But in reality, she had only held Gabriel's hand once. She hadn't even said more than a few words to other girls. How could she be a succubus?
"Then you must definitely be related to succubi somehow."
Yaoyao felt the magic power within her threatening to rush into Meng Lian's body. She hurriedly flew away and stood on the cover of the Sky Mirage True Demon Technique, her small face serious.
"Your constitution has mana-absorbing properties. Isn't that a succubus's natural talent? And you've definitely absorbed a zombie recently. There's magic power from one inside you."
"Ah?"
Meng Lian was dumbfounded.
Heaven and earth bear witness, she had been very well-behaved these past few days. The only zombie she had encountered was Jiang Jiang. How could she possibly have absorbed a zombie?
Could it be that last night while sleeping, she sleepwalked and did something to Jiang Jiang?
Meng Lian's face gradually turned pale. If that were really true, she honestly wouldn't know what to do.
"Hmph, you scum woman."
Yaoyao had already labeled Meng Lian as the type who used others and then denied everything afterward, looking at her with disdain.
"Wait, I'm not, I really don't know what's going on!"
Meng Lian hurriedly tried to defend herself, but her tone lacked conviction.
Because last night she really had slept together with Jiang Jiang, and her consciousness had been in Nordlin doing things with the Silver Dragon sisters. It was entirely possible she had actually done something to Jiang Jiang.
"Making excuses. I just tested it. Your mana-absorbing constitution only activates during intimate skin contact. You definitely slept with a zombie last night, and in intimate positions too."
It couldn't be...
All the blood had drained from Meng Lian's face. She had already imagined Jiang Jiang pinned beneath her last night, her pitiful little face filled with grievance, and afterward having to pretend nothing had happened.
No wonder Meng Lian had felt that Jiang Jiang's clothes this morning seemed different from last night. She hadn't thought much of it at the time, but now that she considered it, she increasingly felt like she had behaved like a beast last night.
"Alright, since it's already happened, you need to take responsibility. Treat her well and don't let her suffer any more grievances."
Seeing Meng Lian's expression, Yaoyao's mind had already conjured up a dramatic tale of love and hatred between a zombie big sister and a golden-haired big sister, and she felt quite pleased with herself.
Hmph, call me Detective Yaoyao. Nothing escapes my keen eyes.
"I'm also someone who keeps her promises. Even though you're a scum woman, I've already consumed your magic power. For the next month, you can ask me anything you don't understand. Of course, only ten questions."
Yaoyao yawned, then her figure faded into the book and disappeared.
Responsibility...
Meng Lian seemed to have made a decision. She put away the book and headed back toward the dormitory.
She wasn't someone who would toy with others and then abandon them. She would definitely take responsibility for the mess she had made.
Right now, she just hoped the two of them hadn't created any life-altering consequences.
Knock knock.
She knocked on the door of Dormitory 403. Phoeby opened it, and Meng Lian saw the chaotic scene inside.
Boohoo, Class Monitor, you're finally here.
Inside, Jiang Jiang saw Meng Lian's figure and felt like crying but had no tears.
Did she have any idea how she had spent the afternoon?
Unbearable to recall, simply unbearable to recall.
"Class Monitor? Oh, Jiang Jiang is doing fine... Sure, see you tomorrow..."
Meng Lian chatted with Phoeby and Gabriel for a while, then took Jiang Jiang back to the dormitory.
"Whew, thanks to the Class Monitor, I'm finally saved."
Back in Room 404, Jiang Jiang sighed with relief.
But just then, Meng Lian suddenly gripped Jiang Jiang's shoulders. Her small face was flushed red, but her eyes were very determined.
"Jiang Jiang, don't worry. I'll take responsibility for you!"
"Eh?"
Jiang Jiang blinked blankly in confusion.
