I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends

Chapter 222: Do You Like Humans More or Urban Legends?

Okay! Ill wear it!

Lu Yibei picked up the dress with great speed before slamming it back down on the bed.

No! Wait! Isnt the skirt a little too short? I cant cover myself!

Im sure you can cover yourself! Change quickly I wont look at you, promise! Bai Kai said, turning around and covering his eyes.

Seeing Bai Kai turn around, Lu Yibei picked up the skirt again and swallowed.

Although she has lived on this Earth for a short amount of time, she knows that life actually consists of constant compromise, trade-offs, and giving up in order to achieve utility.

So, it was time to compromise.

Two minutes later, she changed into the dress and coat. She then quietly watched as Bai Kai worked, inspecting the items that he had bought from Fu Er.

Leaning against the wall, she couldnt help but feel that if she had a cigarette in her mouth right now, she would seem like a woman who would get herself into a lot of trouble.

During the short time that Bai Kai left the Night Division, he bought clothes for her as well as three psychic items.

One is a clay pot used to collect misfortunes, and its opening was shaped like a giant mouth; the pot itself seemed bottomless and pitch black.

The second is a figurine made of human skin that was pale in colour and as thin as the wings of a cicada.

The last was a metal pendant used to conceal psychic fluctuations.

Placing the clay pot on the ground, he pressed his hands on the pots body and muttered a few spells.

Immediately afterwards, the pot seemed to come alive, squirming and shaking a few times. With a buzzing sound, tonnes of numb eyes opened on the pots surface, greedily swallowing up the remaining water vapour, Disaster Liquid, and smoke in the room.

Then, he took the figurine, touched its chest with his fingertips, and injected psychic energy into it.

The figurine seemingly expanded, squirmed, and deformed, evolving into a shapeless body.

Meanwhile, Yibei toyed around with the cosmetics that she had never touched before, peeking at Bai Kai from time to time, feeling warm in her heart.

She suddenly realised that Shui was actually a reliable person. No matter what, he would never do anything to hurt her.

Shui? Thank you for doing all this for me.

Hearing her words, Bai Kai was slightly startled, and when he turned his head, his face turned pale.

Fuck! You

He saw a face with thick eyebrows, a face like a monkeys butt, and lips like sausages wrapped in chilli.

Seems like she has a lot to learn as a girl.

He silently sighed, grabbed a cotton pad, squeezed out makeup remover, and helped her wipe the makeup off.

He used seven or eight pads and half a bottle of makeup remover to clean her face. He then picked up a beauty blender, soaked it in water, and squeezed it before applying liquid foundation and buffing it into her face.

Bei, your skin is pale, so you should pick a foundation with pink undertones. As for your lips, a thin layer of red should suffice.

Shui How are you so good at this?

Bai Kai gently nudged her head and said, I learned it from the women in the club. Bei, you will be a big girl from now on, so you should learn these things. I can ask them to teach you if you want.

No, thank you I probably dont need them.

Probably.

Ah? Bai Kai was stunned for a moment and curled his lips, saying, What a pity.

?

In the courtyard of the Night Division, Jiangli sat on an old wooden chair, and beside her squatted the gloomy mushroom girl who held a big umbrella.

Do you think Lu Yibei will be fine?

Ever since she talked with Bai Kai, she felt uneasy.

It wasnt that she suspected Bai Kai; she was worried for her subordinate.

And she felt that his situation was much worse than Bai Kai had let on.

After all, drawing runes is a very dangerous thing. The more powerful the urban legend cores used, the higher the risk.

She fully understands this.

After listening to Jianglis question, Gu Niang slowly rolled her eyes as if she suddenly came to life and responded slowly, I dont know; Im just a little old mushroom.

Jiangli looked at Gu Niang beside her, her lips slightly open, but she hesitated to speak.

A little old mushroom, but I do think that Lu Yibei will be fine.

Hell be fine. She breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

Gu Niang, like the fungi that grow on the ancient building of the Night Division, is the oldest and most special member among the Operators.

Her runes are special, and she, as she says it, is one with the mushrooms. She can see things that others cannot.

Some say she sees the fate of life and death, and some say she can see the good and evil in ones heart.

Therefore, if she says that Lu Yibei will be fine, then he will be fine.

Fine, in every single sense of the word.

Jiangli stood up with her cane and was about to leave, but she heard Gu Niang whispering, Somebody is coming.

As soon as she spoke, high heels collided with the ground not far away, and the person who came out was Bai Kai.

Beside him was a tall girl wearing a sexy, short skirt and a coat.

The girls hair was like a waterfall, and her dark blue eyes were like lapiz lazuli. Her eyebrows were feminine, her nose was straight, and her lips plump.

Her cheekbones were slightly contoured to subtly reveal their shape, and highlights were dusted onto her nose, exuding amazing charm.

Why does she look so familiar? Jiangli thought, stepping forward to meet her.

Shui, will I really be okay? Lu Yibei asked as they walked out of the Night Division.

She felt that Bai Kais plan to sneak her out was a little insane.

Putting on the high heels and the hip-hugging skirt, she couldnt even walk steadily. Could she really get away with it?

Bai Kai simply squeezed her hand and responded, Dont worry about it. Try not to talk too much. Ill handle whatever happens. We have to leave quickly; your pendant is going to explode from your psychic fluctuations.

Yibei nodded.

Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to trust him.

After passing through the dimly lit corridor and entering the small courtyard, light flooded her eyes, and she shielded them.

Looking up, Lu Yibei saw Jiangli standing by the garden, and her heart dropped.

As if noticing her panic, Bai Kai patted her back gently and stood in front of her.

Whats up, Jiangli?

Jiangli glanced at Yibei with a smile as if wanting to study her more carefully. Then, she looked back at Bai Kai and asked, Who is this girl?

Oh, her! he laughed. Shes from the club I frequent. Itll take a long time for Beis runes to stabilise, and Im not busy, so I just invited her to play a little, you know?

Hearing him dwell on the word play, Jiangli immediately showed disdain in her heart, drifting her eyes towards Yibei.

Her delicate face was in light makeup, and she seemed cold and expressionless. Her eyes moved downward, and when she saw that the girls slender legs could not stop trembling, she tilted her head in confusion.

Excuse me, your legs. Are you uncomfortable?

Bai Kai followed her line of sight and glanced at Yibei, and he immediately responded for her.

Ah, well, we did have some fun, and I might have worn her out a bit. Ooh, this feels embarrassing to say, haha!

As he spoke, he humped the air in front of him as if to show what he had done.

What the? You say it is enough, but do you really have to show her?

Jianglis cold face immediately turned red, understanding what Bai Kai wanted to express.

She understood that knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

Bai Kai, youre crazy!

Bai Kai curled his lips and said, Well, if you excuse us, well be leaving. Ill send her back, and Ill come back to take care of Bei!

Jiangli waved her hands, shooing them away.

Seeing this, Bai Kai held Yibeis hand and was about to leave, but when he saw Gu Niang appearing behind him, holding her umbrella, his expression changed as his heart fell.

Gu Niang, who always enjoyed lazing around in the garden, appeared in the middle of the path. This made Bai Kai panic a bit, and beads of sweat tainted Yibeis palms.

Jiangli stood aside and watched quietly as Gu Niang approached them, and she couldnt help but feel that something was off.

Did she find something weird about them?

Yibei, who was completely unaware, stared blankly at the gloomy girl before her and watched as the girl approached her.

She approached them closer and closer until the tips of their noses touched.

Those deep, black eyes stared into Yibei, and she felt as if a pair of invisible hands were slowly reaching out towards her, peeling away her disguise inch by inch.

A suffocating oppression came over her, and she felt her heartbeat stop for a moment. At this moment, the girls slightly hoarse voice sounded faintly in her ears.

Do you like humans more, or urban legends?

In an instant, countless voices, like a roaring tsunami, exploded in her ears, and they directed the harshest interrogations at her, probing at her soul.

The voices gradually faded away, and Yibei was stunned for a while before coming to her senses. She struggled to squeeze out a smile, not realising that tears were coming out of her eyes.

H-humans. I like humans more.

The girl stared at Lu Yibei without saying anything more. She turned back to the garden and walked towards the flower bed, transforming back into a lifeless mushroom.
