Chapter 95

Wang Yuanyou rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, “If we drain all the blood out, she should turn white, right?”

Yun Youyou: !!!

She huddled in the corner, looking pitiful, weak, and helpless, trembling with fear.

These Players were way too brutal!

Shen Mingzhen circled around Yun Youyou a few times.

“I wonder if just painting her white with oil paint would count as a success?”

Yun Youyou was surrounded by the Players like a pack of hungry wolves.

“I brought the Pearl Powder! Quick, try it out!”

Tao Jinran rushed over holding a small box filled with snowy white Pearl Powder.

She took a small bowl, added a bit of water, and stirred it together, quickly producing a paste-like substance.

Yun Youyou lay flat on the couch.

As the Pearl Powder paste was applied to her face, it felt icy cold.

The strange sensation made Yun Youyou frown involuntarily.

“Will this actually work?”

Tao Jinran dutifully smeared the Pearl Powder into every single pore. “Let’s just try it and see.”

Twenty minutes later, Yun Youyou washed the Pearl Powder off her face.

The clean water in the basin immediately turned into a milky white liquid.

“Did I get any whiter?”

Yun Youyou lifted her face and turned toward the group.

Tao Jinran was momentarily speechless. “Uh…”

Wang Yuanyou stepped forward and struck a pose like a Peking Opera performer.

He took a deep breath and sang in a powerful voice: “Red-faced Guan Gong fights in Changsha! Blue-faced…”

Yun Youyou: …

Okay, I get it.

Seeing that this method was a failure, it was the next person’s turn to try.

Wang Yuanyou observed her for a moment before pulling out a sword from nearby.

“If we let all the blood inside flow out, she should turn white, right?”

!!!

Yun Youyou was struck with terror. “What kind of Living Yama are you?”

You couldn’t find a single one of those saintly, compassionate Players common in novels here, but you could find a Living Yama at every turn.

Tao Jinran also glared at Wang Yuanyou with disapproval.

“Are you trying to turn Youyou into a Loulan Mummy?”

Wang Yuanyou quickly tossed the sword aside.

“Aiya, I was just joking! How could I have the heart to let Yun Youyou become a mummy? We’re good brothers!”

Wang Yuanyou laughed sheepishly.

However, not a single person paid him any attention.

Wang Yuanyou’s laughter eventually turned into a sob.

*Waaaah…* Not a single person understood his sense of humor.

Shen Mingzhen ran over from a distance, lugging a bucket of Putty Powder.

“Here, here! If we coat her body in this bucket of stuff, it should do the trick.”

Yun Youyou stared blankly at the bucket of Putty Powder.

Good grief, here comes another Living Yama.

Seriously, what was wrong with these Players?

Yun Youyou flatly refused.

“I suddenly feel like my Collector’s Edition Red Skin is actually pretty good. Red is great! It’s festive! You guys don’t need to worry about me. After all, I don’t even know what a ghost turns into after they die again.”

“Open your mouth.”

Ji Lin suddenly appeared in front of Yun Youyou.

Yun Youyou looked up in confusion. “Why do you want me to open my-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Lin tossed something into her mouth.

Yun Youyou reflexively swallowed, and the object slid down her throat.

“What did you feed me!”

Yun Youyou’s eyes widened as she took a moment to savor the taste of whatever that was.

It was sweet and actually quite delicious.

Yun Youyou immediately softened her tone. “Is there any more? Give me another one.”

Ji Lin hadn’t expected such a reaction from her and was momentarily stunned.
Once he regained his composure, he said with a faint smile, “It’s gone.”

Tao Jinran was even more anxious than Yun Youyou.

“You just ate it like that? Spit it out, quick! What if he gave you poison!”

Yun Youyou had already drunk blood of unknown origin; why would she be afraid of a tiny pill?

Besides, she felt that Ji Lin wouldn’t harm her.

Tao Jinran gripped Yun Youyou’s shoulders, wanting to say more, but when she looked down, she suddenly noticed the red on Yun Youyou’s arm was gradually fading.

“Youyou, look!”

Tao Jinran shouted in pleasant surprise.

Being naturally contrary, Yun Youyou immediately squeezed her eyes shut and said cheekily, “I won’t look! I’m not looking!”

Tao Jinran: …

She said gloomily, “Your skin has turned into a rainbow Mary Sue color, and it’s reflecting all sorts of lights like a prism.”

That sounds so cool!

Possessing a hundred pounds of contrarian spirit, Yun Youyou immediately snapped her eyes open.

Everyone present watched as the red on Yun Youyou’s arm receded bit by bit, gradually revealing her original snow-white skin.

“Holy crap! Where did you get that treasure? The effect is amazing!”

Wang Yuanyou exclaimed, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the magical scene before him.

Ji Lin had quietly obtained such a powerful item without saying a word.

The others didn’t ask directly, but they all waited curiously for an answer.

Ji Lin had no intention of keeping it from them.

“I bought it in the Game Shop. There was a discount if you bought two bottles.”

The others all wore expressions of amazement that said, “You can actually do that?”

Wang Yuanyou even slapped his thigh in regret.

“Agh! Why didn’t I think of such a good idea!”

Having regained her natural skin tone, a happy Yun Youyou ran to the mirror to admire herself over and over again.

Before Yun Youyou could get her fill of the mirror, the Players received a notification that the Instance was ending.

[Please rate the NPCs of this round.]

Wang Yuanyou and the others naturally gave Yun Youyou the highest score without hesitation.

While Shen Mingzhen was still hesitating over how many stars to give, Wang Yuanyou, who had quietly slipped behind him, suddenly lunged forward and helped him give Yun Youyou a five-star rating.

Shen Mingzhen turned around in a rage.

“You!”

Wang Yuanyou had already hidden behind Ji Lin.

Shen Mingzhen didn’t truly intend to pick a fight with Wang Yuanyou. After a cold snort, he turned his head away.

“Forget it, I can’t be bothered to deal with you.”

Tao Jinran pointed curiously at Doctor Lan and the Vampire.

“These two handsome guys are actually NPCs too? I feel like they didn’t do anything at all?”

It wasn’t surprising that Tao Jinran was confused.

The NPCs associated with Yun Youyou were simply too chill; they had no intention of making things difficult for the Players at all.

It wasn’t that they were afraid of the Players; they just couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

One wondered if the Game was secretly coughing up blood in frustration.

Regardless, Tao Jinran felt anxious on behalf of the Game just watching from the sidelines. With such a group of chill NPCs, the Game was probably losing its hair from stress.

It was time to say goodbye again.

“I had a great time this time. See you next time!”

Tao Jinran waved frantically at Yun Youyou.

Wang Yuanyou turned his head and saw the Vampire, who had somehow sidled up to Yun Youyou again.

He hurriedly shouted, “Hey, stay away from Yun Youyou!”

Whether the Vampire truly didn’t hear him or was just pretending, he didn’t even spare Wang Yuanyou a glance.

Doctor Lan also waved with a smile.

“See you next time.”

Finally, only Yun Youyou and the Vampire were left.
