Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 42

In the dream world, the ruins of Songjiang.

In the center of the road was a massive metal funnel. Countless puppets fell into the metal funnel from all directions, where a high-speed rotating blade at the bottom shredded them all.

Chu Qingqing stood on the rooftop, maintaining the operation of the blades below through a thin metal wire. Yang Wangshu monitored the electromagnetic waves in the environment, while Wang Wanrou sat on the edge of the rooftop, calmly bathing in the blood mist.

Cheng Jinyang flew back from the end of the road, observing the countless puppets being manipulated by gravity into the metal funnel and the ever-increasing concentration of blood mist, and couldn’t help but marvel.

What was supposed to be a monster-fighting nightmare game had been turned into an automated slaughter line by Miss Wang.

Truly bizarre…

Landing on the rooftop, Miss Qingqing turned to look at him and asked, “Where are Yuanzhi and Jinqi?”

“They perished together again,” Cheng Jinyang replied helplessly.

In a one-on-one fight, Cui Xiaoniang was certainly no match for Ah Zhi. Even without using her mass effect abilities, Xing Yuanzhi could suppress more than ten of Cui Jinqi.

However, the “antimatter annihilation” ability allowed her to convert all matter within a certain range into corresponding antiparticles. Without the isolation of a vacuum environment, these antiparticles would quickly annihilate, causing a terrifying explosion.

So every time, Cui Xiaoniang would rush in and fail to win, she would use the big self-destruction…

The two fought from Puxi to Pudong, blowing up dozens of battlefields without a decisive outcome.

“Wanrou, can you revive them?” Cheng Jinyang pleaded to Wang Wanrou with clasped hands.

Under the terrifying explosions caused by antimatter annihilation, nothing would remain of the two girls. However, with the whole team “working hard” to level up, collective suicide to revive them was out of the question.

So only Miss Wang could come in with her cheats, “rewrite the code” backstage, and forcibly start their revival process… Cheng Jinyang didn’t understand the specifics, but he could only praise Miss Wang as a god.

However, this time, the god seemed a bit annoyed.

“Revive them, only to have them continue killing each other?” Wang Wanrou asked irritably, “Do you have nothing better to do than meddle in their business?”

“Ahem.” Cheng Jinyang coughed and reasoned, “After all, everyone is leveling up. It’s not good for them to fall behind.”

Wang Wanrou rolled her eyes beautifully, clearly indicating, “You’re kidding me, right?”

The excuse was too far-fetched. Even if they were revived, they would just start killing each other again and wouldn’t quietly absorb the blood mist. So Cheng Jinyang quickly corrected himself:

“This time, this time I’ll definitely stop them from killing each other.”

Wang Wanrou said nothing and just pointed backward.

After a moment, Cui Jinqi and Xing Yuanzhi slowly respawned.

“Okay, okay.” Cheng Jinyang quickly went over to mediate, “No more fighting. Can’t we all get along?”

Then he got beaten up.

Cui Jinqi held his arms from behind, while Xing Yuanzhi violently punched his abdomen over ten times, causing Cheng Jinyang to spit out fluid from his abdomen.

“So, so vicious!” He fell to the ground, a look of disbelief on his face. “Why kill me…”

“If I really went all out, I’d have aimed a few inches lower!” Xing Yuanzhi said coldly.

A few inches lower… Cheng Jinyang hurriedly stood up, feeling a chill down there, a sense of survival from a great disaster welling up in his heart.

No way, Ah Zhi would never treat her fiancé like that, right? She must have been bluffing.

Yes, it must be because the two were angry from fighting and couldn’t help but take it out on me for not intervening.

Understanding the situation, Cheng Jinyang no longer held a grudge against the two girls, as he hadn’t really been hurt.

Coming to Miss Qingqing’s side, he whispered, “How much have we absorbed?”

“Almost 600 Ma,” Miss Qingqing said joyfully.

With Miss Wang’s improved slaughter line design, they could absorb at least a thousand Ma of blood mist tonight!

Equivalent to creating an eighth-grade powerhouse daily, this cheat was terrifyingly effective.

Calculating carefully, the threshold for sixth-grade concentration was 100,000 Ma, meaning it would take just three months to advance from seventh-grade to sixth-grade?

Great!

From tonight on, we’ll grind to the max!

Just as Cheng Jinyang was thinking this, he slowly opened his eyes and realized someone was gently shaking him.

Sister Xinnan?

“Shh.” Princess Nankang put a finger to her lips, indicating not to wake the girls around them.

Cheng Jinyang’s face turned red.

Without explaining why there were five girls in his bedroom, he hastily put on some clothes and walked out the door, where he saw the blonde-haired princess standing by the porch, gazing sadly at the full moon in the night sky.

“Sorry, Jinyang,” she said with a sorrowful smile, “for coming so late and disturbing your sleep.”

“It’s okay,” Cheng Jinyang responded considerately. “Sister Xinnan, is something wrong?”

Princess Nankang remained silent for a moment.

“I mainly came to see you,” she began, “and also, as per our agreement, to tell you about your mother.”

“Oh.” Cheng Jinyang was a bit puzzled.

Perhaps the shocking news he received from Wang Chuzhong had made him forget to ask his princess sister for more specific details after he was promoted to the seventh grade.

But why did Sister Xinnan choose to come so late at night, at three in the morning?

Something must have happened…

He had his suspicions but didn’t ask rashly, waiting quietly for her to speak.

“Your mother was a powerful demon,” Princess Nankang said softly.

Seeing that Cheng Jinyang showed no expression, she realized someone had already informed him. She sighed inwardly and continued:

“Even in the world of demons, there are distinct levels of power. Your mother originally had mid-level strength among the demons and was known as ‘Nandou Xingjun,’ leading six other demons.”

“But she did not like being a demon.”

“Didn’t like it?” Cheng Jinyang asked, confused.

“Yes, she didn’t like it,” Princess Nankang said sadly. “After all, many people in this world… cannot decide what they become.”

“There are two types of demons: innate and acquired. Neither is superior to the other. Acquired demons are those originally without intelligence, who gained consciousness after devouring many humans; innate demons are those who transformed from human to demon.”

“Your mother was an innate demon, transformed from a human during the Sima Zhengdu era. Since then, she longed to become human again. Although demon bodies are powerful, they also have many flaws. For example… if she remained a demon, you wouldn’t exist.”

“Did she succeed in the end?” Hearing the princess speak so clearly, Cheng Jinyang understood.

“Yes,” Princess Nankang sighed. “No one knows how she did it, but she sacrificed all her demon power to successfully become human again.”
