I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1251: Hello, On-the-way Express

The voice of the shadow was also a woman, but slightly deeper in tone: "How is the preparation going?"

"Everything is under control."

"We absolutely cannot let anyone hinder the implementation of the plan, so there are two people who must be eliminated!"

The woman inside the room chuckled softly: "That won’t work, you know. I don’t have that kind of power."

The shadow replied: "The Empress has already fallen into the trap I set; soon she’ll take the bait. As for Li Muyun, when will your plan be executed? His Seal of Truesky has a vast scope. Among the three brothers, he is the hardest to deal with. My request is simple—trap him for a year. Only by doing this can our plan unfold completely."

The woman inside sighed lightly: "What can I do? Li Zichen, that useless pawn, has failed to get the job done, leaving us in a passive position."

The shadow said: "Li Muyun has yet to fully master the Path of Heavenly Power from the Seal of Truesky. Set up a scheme, and I’ll send him into the Reincarnation World again!"

"No, no, no." The woman inside said, "That move won’t work. Your Power of Reincarnation is borrowed, diminishing with each use. Moreover, even bacteria develop resistance to medicine, let alone Li Muyun, who wields the Seal of Truesky."

The shadow asked, "So what do you suggest?"

"Have you ever heard a saying called ’Misfortune East Bows’?"

"Hmm? What do you mean? I don’t like beating around the bush; speak directly!"

"Oh my, you truly are not adorable at all. After following that scoundrel for over two thousand years, haven’t you picked up any of his good qualities?"

The shadow snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

"I’ve heard that in the West Demon Realm, a prince has refused to marry or have children for centuries, persistently longing for the one by the Nine Heavens Yao Pool."

"Zhu Wu, Chiyou’s grandson, and also one of the strongest men in the Demon Realm."

"Strong man? He’s just a young man. I bet he hasn’t even indulged in worldly pleasures yet. That boy is pure and stubborn to the extreme."

The shadow asked coldly, "So what’s your plan?"

"A few days ago, I spread word through a Demon World Merchant to the Demon Realm, particularly the West Demon Realm, suggesting that Zhao’er might be the Outer Tao Spirit Body of the one by the Nine Heavens Yao Pool..."

"You... what a malicious scheme! If Zhu Wu and Li Muyun clash head-on, the Human World will be doomed!"

"Relax, relax. Didn’t I spend a fortune collaborating with the Demon Realm to develop a game?"

"Hmm, in terms of cultivation, the Empress is an exceptional genius, far surpassing even the four disciples under Bodhi Ancient Master. It’s precisely because of this game’s system that we were able to bind her, drive her to madness and insanity, and ultimately lead her to destruction. Are you planning to drag Li Muyun into it as well?"

"Illusion and reality intertwine; truth and falsehood overlap. To trap Li Muyun without his women by his side is impossible. That’s why I prepared a grand... feast for them specifically!"

"Ah-Choo! Ah-Choo! Ah-Choo!"

Riding an electric scooter shaped like a big sheep, you sneezed twice in succession.

"Yun, what’s wrong?"

Zhao’er, who had just gotten out of the vehicle to buy dumplings from the shop, turned around to glance at you.

"Nothing, you go ahead and buy the dumplings."

"Alright."

Zhao’er nodded slightly and turned to head into the dumpling shop.

"Boss, I’ll have two bowls of dumplings, to-go."

"Got it! Whoa—this young lady is stunning! Hey, young lady, do you have a boyfriend? If not, Auntie can introduce you to someone."

"Auntie, I’m already married."

"Married? Where’s your husband then?"

"He’s waiting for me over there."

"Hmm, he looks decent enough. Is he good to you?"

Walking along the street, you and Zhao’er headed into the wind.

"Yun."

"Hmm?"

"Someone’s been staring at us, following us for quite a few blocks now."

"Yeah, I’ve also felt his intense gaze on you. Though we haven’t run into him head-on, you can feel he’s formidable."

Holding onto your arms more tightly, Zhao’er spoke for the first time in a slightly complaining tone: "Why can’t we just enjoy a peaceful life?"

You chuckled and said, "Life grows through hardships. Only when our strength reaches its peak, like Yun Chu and Suyi back then, will no one dare to trouble us anymore."

Zhao’er fell silent for a brief moment before completely leaning her soft, delicate body against your back and murmuring gently, "It’s so hard..."

"Hmm, the world’s various forces have reached a balance where no one wants or dares to break this peace. But we’ve also reached a bottleneck; finding a breakthrough is indeed difficult. Still, I believe there will eventually be an opportunity."

Back home, you shut the door precisely as knocking sounded outside.

"Who is it?"

Turning around, you asked.

"Hello, it’s Swift Delivery Service!"

"Delivery?" You opened the door with a puzzled expression, only to see a courier standing outside holding a rectangular box in his arms.

"Are you Mr. Li Muyun?"

"Yes."

"Please sign for your package. This is your delivery."

"Alright."

After signing, you closed the door, carrying the box into the living room.

"What’s this?"

"No idea. It doesn’t seem heavy."

While speaking, you casually opened the box. Inside, you found a layer of bubble wrap and two finely packaged square boxes that appeared high-end from their exterior.

You took out one box and noticed that it was covered in English.

"This is... a game... headset?" You frowned. "Games have advanced to the point where you can play them with headsets now?"

"Sure have." Zhao’er approached, picking up the other headset. "Today at the office, some of the teachers were chatting about this thing. They said it’s a revolutionary product, a full-dive game is about to be launched."

"There’s also a piece of paper here."

You pulled out a black sheet of paper from the box, its blood-red text looking ominously eerie.

"Li Muyun, I challenge you!"

You read the first line aloud, chuckling lightly: "Interesting, looks like trouble always finds me."

Just as you were about to read further, your phone vibrated in your pocket. Pulling it out, you saw it was a call from the Crazy Woman.
