Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 310: Chapter 146 Falling Asleep

As the door opened, Li Yelai saw the Doll and the nun inside the room.

The Doll removed her doll mask, revealing her exquisite face, her eyes gleaming as if containing the stars themselves, filled with joy. Her beautiful features, combined with the silly and cute dinosaur doll costume, made her particularly adorable.

Seeing the Doll’s sparkling eyes, Li Yelai breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the Doll and the nun had a pleasant chat.

Meanwhile, the nun’s legs had healed quickly. After the officials obtained the Scarlet Tree Liquid, they allowed her to absorb the sap, which not only strengthened her body but also repaired some flesh wounds.

Now, she could walk freely without the need for crutches or external assistance.

”Are you okay?” Li Yelai asked.

The Doll’s eyes curled into a half-moon shape, responding, ”Mhm mhm, very successful.”

In her hand, the sign she was holding even displayed a smiling face emoticon [(

In reality, Li Yelai knew she was far from being as relaxed as she appeared, her rash breakthrough meant she was completely unprepared, and the risk of distortion was significant.

He had to go to the ark and see if there was any equipment or pharmaceutical that could suppress her terrifying talent... Li Yelai thought to himself.

For most Spiritual Ability Users, talent was extremely important. But for the Doll, her talent had become a disaster.

Li Yelai felt somewhat heavy-hearted, but he currently had no solution.

”Hello, Comrade Night General,” at that moment, the nun glanced at the sparkling-eyed Doll before smiling at Li Yelai, ”We meet again.”

”Hello, Comrade Nun,” Li Yelai replied, ”You’ve finally met. Thank you for keeping the Doll company.”

”It’s nothing, I also enjoy chatting with others, especially such a beautiful girl,” the nun said with a smile.

In Li Yelai’s mind, he and the nun were the only two who didn’t have to worry about curses, which meant the Doll had gained another friend for interaction.

”That’s another friend for us,” Li Yelai smiled at the Doll, ”There will be someone to have meals with you when I’m not around.”

But the Doll seemed stunned for a moment, her lips pouting. She appeared somewhat dissatisfied.

Although she cherished the friendship with the nun, she... didn’t want to lose the rare alone time they had.

”She’s very busy,” the Doll whispered softly.

Seeing this, the nun said, ”Yes, as you know, I’m usually very busy. We’ll talk when there’s a chance.”

”Almost forgot you’re a busy person,” Li Yelai nodded in agreement.

The Doll then turned to the nun and flashed a brilliant smile, showing a sign that Li Yelai couldn’t see.

[Next time I’ll treat you to a meal

The nun smiled and nodded.

Afterward, the Doll put the dinosaur head mask back on, carefully checked to make sure no hair was showing, and then said goodbye to the nun and left.

Watching the two leave, the nun slowly breathed in the cool air.

”You have the look of someone thinking ’my lifesaver is actually a blockhead’,” Moon Shadow and Yang Chen appeared at the door out of nowhere, with Moon Shadow teasingly saying to the nun.

”How can you so clearly read my thoughts?” the nun asked in astonishment, ”Is this an ability?”

Although the nun had not been exposed to the Extraordinary System for long, she was well aware of her powers as a Spirit Extinguisher.

”No secret, only skill!” Moon Shadow said proudly, ”As a famous troll, I know what others want to say without them speaking, allowing me to strike preemptively! It’s my specialty!”

The nun was at a loss for words, being new, she was not too familiar with Moon Shadow to retort directly.

”Why are you so proud?” Yang Chen challenged without hesitation, ”And don’t make up stories about my team members behind their backs.”

Moon Shadow shot a glance at Yang Chen, ”It’s the damn truth, okay? It just shows she truly has your style! Were you not known as the ’Iron Straight Man’ before becoming the Champion?”

”I just think from a different angle,” Yang Chen frowned, he was relatively tongue-tied compared to Moon Shadow, the talkative troll.

”Are you trying to say that the Doll is close to the Night General entirely because of his inconceivable curse resistance? Worried that if a second or third person with high curse resistance appears, the outcome would change?” Moon Shadow waved his hand dismissively, speaking like someone experienced, ”Let’s not discuss whether such beings will appear, I can only say you don’t understand women.”

The nun beside him nodded in agreement.

Yang Chen spread his hands; he didn’t want to argue with the two of them.

Then Moon Shadow asked, ”By the way, he will soon undergo the Four Awakenings and intends to become Ye Boshou. Have you considered this?”

”He will eventually inherit the title of Champion, so naturally, he can’t always stay in Giant City,” Yang Chen replied, ”He’ll have to venture into the wilderness, face Forbidden Zone Creatures. Currently, several teams of Ye Boshou are resting in Giant City; his choice is up to him. However... his curse...”

This was something that also concerned Yang Chen; Li Yelai’s curse was very dangerous.

In Giant City, it was manageable, given the official support was swift within the city.

Li Yelai’s You Must Meet Strong Enemies would turn into a Monster Brushing Cage because he had many powerful teammates and reinforcements behind him. Any strong enemy he faced in Giant City would be eliminated.

But... in the wilderness, this curse would be problematic.

Unless his teammates were also equally strong, if not stronger.

Otherwise, Li Yelai would end up being a burden to his teammates.

For example, if the team had just had a tough battle with a Flying Dragon and were exhausted from collecting the spoils, only for You Must Meet Strong Enemies to trigger and a steel dragon happens to pass by... And should the team manage to barely defeat or repel the steel dragon, an Ancient Dragon might just show up next.
