Chapter 94
Yun Youyou became even more confused.
Why was everyone being so strange?
She reached out and took the compact mirror.
Before she even opened it, she heard Wang Yuanyou start singing softly beside her.
“On the other side of the sea, on the other side of the mountains, there’s a group of Red Elves. They are lively and smart…”
Yun Youyou: ???
Tao Jinran: “…Stop singing.”
She punched Wang Yuanyou, cutting off his ‘beautiful and melodic’ singing.
Under the gaze of the three, Yun Youyou finally opened the compact mirror in her hand.
She blinked, and the little red person reflected in the mirror blinked back.
Yun Youyou fiddled with it for a long while before asking in confusion, “Is your mirror broken?”
Tao Jinran didn’t have the heart to reveal the truth directly.
She thought for a moment and chose a more tactful approach.
“Youyou, you really like strawberry-flavored things, don’t you?”
Yun Youyou nodded.
“Yes, I like them quite a bit.”
Tao Jinran: “Then congratulations! You’ve turned into your favorite strawberry flavor! Aren’t you happy?”
Yun Youyou felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
I… turned strawberry-flavored?
Yun Youyou raised the mirror again in disbelief.
It was over. She really had become a Red Wolf.
Wang Yuanyou leaned in curiously. “Does that mean everything you see now is red?”
Coming closer, he saw that even Yun Youyou’s pupils had turned red.
“It seems so.”
Yun Youyou blinked, feeling as if everything was covered in a thin red veil.
Wang Yuanyou sighed repeatedly.
“This is bad! This is a big deal. From now on, you won’t even be able to tell the difference between black tea and green tea.”
Yun Youyou: “…”
Tao Jinran slapped Wang Yuanyou on the back again.
“She’s colorblind, not illiterate!”
Yun Youyou: …I’m not colorblind either.
Even after being slapped, Wang Yuanyou couldn’t behave.
He asked again, “Then when you laugh from now on, will you make ‘red-hot-and-blazing’ sounds?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he started laughing like a honking duck.
Yun Youyou: …
Ji Lin gave Wang Yuanyou a cold glance, his eyes as piercing as a winter wind.
Wang Yuanyou felt a chill down his spine and suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore. He let out two stiff, awkward sounds: “Quack, quack.”
Ji Lin looked at the group.
“Let’s head out first.”
If he let these people keep talking, they probably wouldn’t finish until dawn.
They had only walked a few steps after stepping outside when they ran into Shen Mingzhen, who was rushing over.
“Pfft!”
“Hahahahahaha… Where did this Red Boy come from?”
Yun Youyou puffed out her cheeks in anger upon hearing that.
Tao Jinran might secretly hold back her own laughter, but she absolutely would not allow anyone else to mock Yun Youyou.
She stood angrily in front of Yun Youyou, hands on her hips.
“Where did this monkey come from? Someone kick it out, quickly.”
Shen Mingzhen laughed even more wildly, looking at Tao Jinran with disdain.
“I’m not a monkey. I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.”
Tao Jinran was speechless for a moment.
She thought for a bit, then suddenly ran to Wang Yuanyou’s side and hoisted him up.
“Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!”
Wang Yuanyou asked, completely bewildered at being suddenly lifted.
Tao Jinran didn’t answer.
Maintaining her pose, she tilted her chin up proudly and said to Shen Mingzhen, “I am the Pig-Lifting Heavenly King Li.”
Wang Yuanyou: ???
I’m the pig?
Who are you calling a pig, girl!
Yun Youyou marveled silently from the side.
Tao Jinran’s insults were getting more and more sophisticated.
One Red Boy, one Pig-Lifting Heavenly King Li, and one Great Sage Equal to Heaven-these three unidentified organisms were practically ready to put on a performance of Journey to the West.
Lan Changqi was nearby and walked over after hearing the commotion.
“Doctor Lan, please, take a look at me. Is there any hope left?”
Yun Youyou’s watery, almond-shaped eyes were filled with immense expectation.
For a moment, she had forgotten exactly how Doctor Lan used to treat psychiatric patients.
Doctor Lan also found the situation quite peculiar.
He pondered for a moment before saying, “If we use a chainsaw to slice off the entire layer of skin on your body and replace it with new skin, you might return to a normal color.”
Yun Youyou immediately took a step back with a forced smile.
“On second thought, never mind.”
She had almost forgotten that Doctor Lan didn’t hold a scalpel in his hand, but a chainsaw.
“This is the blood of a certain insect.”
Yun Youyou was startled by the sudden voice behind her.
When did the Vampire appear behind her?
“Insect blood?”
Yun Youyou touched her own face.
The texture of her skin felt exactly the same as before. If she hadn’t looked in the mirror, she wouldn’t have noticed a thing.
The Vampire happened to be an expert in this field.
“This is blood made from a specific type of insect in the Game; it can briefly resurrect the dead.”
“Then what happens if a ghost drinks it?” Tao Jinran asked curiously, still holding up Wang Yuanyou.
Wang Yuanyou also forgot to struggle.
The Vampire glanced at Yun Youyou. “As of now, I haven’t heard of any ghost drinking it.”
The implication was that Yun Youyou was the first Female Ghost to ever drink this stuff.
In ancient times, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs; today, Youyou drinks insect blood.
“Am I going to be stuck as this Little Red Person forever?”
Yun Youyou covered her face in horror.
Tao Jinran tossed Wang Yuanyou onto the ground and pulled Yun Youyou into her arms.
“It’s okay, Youyou. Just think of it as a Collector’s Edition Epic Skin.”
“Think about it. In the entire Game, you’re the only ghost with red skin. Isn’t that cool? Doesn’t it have a certain prestige?”
Yun Youyou lifted her head from Tao Jinran’s embrace, her bright, watery eyes looking as if they could speak.
She looked earnestly into Tao Jinran’s eyes. “Will the other ghosts really not laugh at me?”
Tao Jinran stroked Yun Youyou’s cheek with pity.
“Silly child, why would the other ghosts-pfft! Hahahaha… how could they-hahahahaha… laugh at you?”
Yun Youyou: …
Say no more. I get it.
Yun Youyou puffed out her cheeks in anger and squirmed out of Tao Jinran’s arms.
This woman was truly wicked.
The Vampire stared at Yun Youyou.
“I won’t laugh.”
As soon as he spoke, the string in Wang Yuanyou’s brain snapped taut.
What was this kid doing, trying to get into Yun Youyou’s good graces?
Wang Yuanyou immediately squeezed in front of Yun Youyou and shouted, “If it’s a contest of who’s more expressionless, Ji Lin the Poker Face won’t lose!”
Ji Lin the Poker Face: …
Vampire the Poker Face: …
Two cold gazes simultaneously landed on Wang Yuanyou.
Tao Jinran quickly covered her pig’s mouth.
“If it’s a contest of who’s more of an idiot, nobody can beat you!”
With his mouth covered, Wang Zhuzhu blinked innocently.
Suddenly, all the players received a notification.
They all tapped on their Light Brains at the same time.
[Game Task: Restore the NPC’s skin to its original color.]
Facing the newly issued task from the Game, the players were all a bit confused.
Everyone’s eyes simultaneously shifted toward Yun Youyou.
Yun Youyou: ???
Tao Jinran glanced at the bright red Yun Youyou. “I’ll go over there and grab some Pearl Powder.”
