Chapter 253: You Are Unique

~13 min read 2,538 words

"Do you have any other questions?" Lady of the Night did not know what Yun Mu had been imagining, so she looked at her and said, "If there are no other questions, I will send you back."

"Um." Hearing Lady of the Night's words, Yun Mu immediately came back to her senses. She lowered her head to ponder for a moment, then shook her head: "None for now."

It seemed she had asked everything that needed to be asked, and she couldn't think of any other questions for the time being.

Wait, "There is one more question!" She suddenly thought of something, and looked at the other party with a look of anticipation: "Do you know that Shadow Guard under Princess Brenna, named Elena?"

"No need to introduce her in such detail, of course I know." Lady of the Night waved her hand, signaling her to stop talking for a moment: "I know what you want to ask."

"Go ahead and do it with confidence; that child's soul has not yet dissipated."

After a slight pause, she added: "She was taken away by a somewhat mysterious fellow."

"A somewhat mysterious fellow?" Yun Mu appeared somewhat puzzled, not quite understanding what Lady of the Night was talking about.

"Mm." Lady of the Night nodded: "Don't ask too much; you will know in the future."

"This... alright."

Although she really wanted to condemn the other party's riddle-like attitude, considering the gap in strength and status between the two sides... forget it, as long as you are happy.

"How do I go back?" she asked Lady of the Night.

"Don't worry, it will be quick." Lady of the Night chuckled, signaling her to close her eyes.

Yun Mu did as she was told, and soon, a drowsy feeling surged into her heart.

Can one even feel sleepy in a dream?

Just as Yun Mu was thinking this, a warm palm gently stroked her cheek, and Lady of the Night's voice from before the farewell echoed in her ears.

"This is a reward from your sister, accept it with gratitude... hehe." At the end of the voice, there seemed to be bursts of pleasant laughter, yet Yun Mu had no mind to pay attention to this matter.

Her consciousness sank into sleep, and when she woke up again, she found that she had returned to the room on the second floor of Frost Bank.

"Ugh!"

Subconsciously covering her lips with her hand, Yun Mu's face turned bright red.

Why do these goddesses all like to do this?

【You have received the blessing of 【Lady of the Night Dailianna lv??? (Myth)】, you have obtained the special status 【Blessing of the Night】】 【You will gain the ability to see in lightless environments.】

【Note: This effect can be stacked with other effects.】

【At night, the damage you deal increases by 20%, the damage you receive decreases by 10%, and your speed increases by 5%】

【When conversing with people or forces that believe in Lady of the Night, the other party's favorability increases】

【Your disease resistance increases by 150%】

"What is this? Calling it a reward, but it's just a blessing to fool me..." Yun Mu curled her lips and thought in her heart.

It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with the effects of the blessing; on the contrary, she was very satisfied.

It was just, how to put it, she felt that things like blessings didn't seem to require Lady of the Night to pay anything... just like spells, they could be activated as long as some spirituality was consumed.

Of course, this kind of permanent blessing might not be as simple as she thought, but she didn't know about these things, so naturally, she could only grumble in her heart.

Of course, the most important reason for this was that she felt she had been taken advantage of; just earning a blessing seemed a bit of a loss... Come to think of it, what time is it now? The cat ears on top of Yun Mu's head twitched slightly, and she got up from the bed and walked to the window that was letting in some light.

Swish.

Warm sunlight shone from outside the window onto her face, making her squint her eyes involuntarily.

Afterwards, seemingly feeling the ears on top of her head that were somewhat warm under the sun's rays, Yun Mu reached out to touch the top of her head.

"My cat ears are back?"

Just by looking at the sun outside, one could tell it was daytime.

In other words, Sacred Night had already ended.

It could be October 21st, or it could be October 22nd, or any day after that... Considering that Lady of the Night probably wouldn't let her sleep for that long, it was highly likely the morning of October 21st.

In other words, the dungeon has refreshed!? Yun Mu's spirits lifted, and she immediately clicked on the Game Panel.

Dungeon Exploration had indeed refreshed, and besides that, the progress of the Favorite of the Gods title had inexplicably increased by two points.

One of them was probably Lady of the Night, but who was the other one? It couldn't be Scarlet.

Yun Mu clicked on the detailed information of the title—

【God of War and Thunder Helington】

【God of Pleasure and Chaos Vikala】

【God of Swords Reindot】

【God of Knights Olipod】

【God of Civilization and History Heral】

【Goddess of Radiance Linfulei】

【Mother of All Cats Eve】

【Bug God Maseerius】

【Lady of the Night Dailianna】

【Scarlet Pumelas】

It really was those two. Yun Mu looked at the 10/15 indicator after the title, feeling that it shouldn't take long before it could be fully activated.

After all, she had only transmigrated here for twenty-one days, and resolving the Scarlet Incident had taken a total of twenty days.

Yet in this short span of twenty days, she had encountered several deities, made many companions, and even raised her Supernatural level to the limit of a Second-tier Elite.

Thinking about it this way, she really had accomplished quite a lot.

"I'll stop grinding Dungeons for now."

She wanted to confirm the situation in Frostfall City and the status of her acquaintances; Dungeons could be ground at any time, but these matters could not be neglected.

Heading to the bathroom to wash up and then dressing neatly, Yun Mu stood before the mirror and looked at the young girl in the reflection.

"The cat ears and heterochromatic eyes have both returned."

Controlling her cat ears to twitch twice, feeling the strange sensation of having an extra organ, Yun Mu walked toward Brenna's room.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"." "Strange, is no one here?"

Yun Mu was a bit puzzled; she had checked the clock when she just woke up, and it should be around 5:30 in the morning. Logically speaking, Brenna should still be sleeping in her room at this time.

Ah, although the current situation was not the usual one.

"Miss Yun?"

"What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, Brenna's voice came from behind Yun Mu. She turned her head to look and saw Brenna wrapped only in a pink towel, revealing two long, straight legs and, for some reason, wet, shoeless feet.

"What happened to you?"

Yun Mu stepped aside to clear the path into the room, watching as Brenna walked inside, leaving a footprint with every step, and asked with some confusion while following behind her.

"Uh, well." Only then did Brenna realize that her appearance was a bit strange.

She subconsciously curled her toes, but then felt that Yun Mu might see, so she was forced to stretch them out again.

"I was just doing an experiment, researching an engine that could maximize the output of the DX-II steam energy rod, but while testing it, I accidentally tripped over an air rod on the floor..."

"Sigh." Brenna sighed, looking very helpless: "It triggered a chain reaction; I can't even explain the specific details, but in the end, the water tank burst, and I got soaked all over."

"Uh..."

Although Yun Mu didn't know how her Laboratory was structured, since she could be tripped by an air rod on the floor, it probably wasn't very tidy.

"The place where you do experiments is important, right? You should set aside more time to tidy it up."

"You're right, I'm already reflecting on it." Brenna's face turned red, and she looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"You should go change your clothes quickly." Seeing this, Yun Mu decisively changed the subject.

After a pause, she added: "I have some things I want to ask you."

"Mm." Brenna could probably guess what she wanted to ask, so she immediately straightened her expression and said seriously: "Miss Yun, please wait here for a moment; I'll be changed soon."

After she finished speaking, she walked to the bedroom wardrobe and, in front of Yun Mu, took off the towel and began to change into her undergarments.

"Mm-un..."

Yun Mu subconsciously widened her eyes, her gaze as if locked, drifting uncontrollably toward that side.

Although they were both girls, most people would still feel shy changing clothes in front of others! At least before she transmigrated, when she watched characters in anime changing in locker rooms, she would often be glad that she hadn't experienced that feeling when she was in school.

As for university?

Sorry, she was a day student in high school, and she was already taking commissions for Painting to earn money back then.

When she went to university, she didn't live in the dorms but chose to rent a place outside, so she hadn't experienced campus dormitory life either.

After all, it was a matter of luck how one's roommates were... even if just one person among them didn't pay attention to hygiene, it would make it hard to keep the air in the dorm fresh, and if one encountered someone with a bad temper or who liked to take advantage of others, that would truly be a disaster.

It wasn't a joke to say that there were five or six private group chats in a four-person dorm; she had already experienced the prototype of that when she was in high school.

For example, a group chat without XXX.

Of course, the most important reason was actually that she had to draw, and it was really hard to perform in a dorm; if people she knew saw it, her life would probably be over.

That was why she gritted her teeth and rented a place outside... *cough*, I've digressed.

Returning to reality, Brenna had now changed into a loose, beige sweater, and from the waist down, she wore nothing but a pair of slippers.

She was like a stay-at-home girlfriend in a movie, stepping with her long, fair legs to the side of the fixed coffee machine, gently taking down two mugs emitting wafts of fragrance, and sitting opposite Yun Mu.

"Sorry, there's only coffee for now; I don't know if it suits your taste." She said.

"." "Oh, it's fine." Coming back to her senses, Yun Mu picked up the mug and took a light sip.

Before transmigrating, she often stayed up late to draw; she thought she should have long been used to the sour and bitter taste of coffee.

Ptooey, so bitter!

Her slender eyebrows furrowed tightly, and Yun Mu's expression was very distorted.

"Frostfall City just went through that kind of thing, so the people from the milk company didn't come over... I have sugar here, would you like some, Miss Yun?"

Seeing this, Brenna immediately took a bag of sugar cubes from under the cabinet and placed it in front of Yun Mu.

"Mm, thank you."

Yun Mu thanked her, immediately took out three sugar cubes, dropped them into the mug, and then stirred them with a wooden coffee stirrer.

"Was anyone hurt last night?" She asked Brenna while stirring the coffee.

"No."

Brenna shook her head, her expression somewhat reverent: "Except for the Transcendental, for ordinary people, what happened last night was just like having a dream; they can't even remember the specific details."

"Without a doubt, this is the power of the Lady of the Dark Night, a miracle that only a deity could bestow."

"However, the damaged streets and buildings haven't recovered, and many people woke up to find themselves lying on the street..."

After a pause, she chuckled: "Overall, no one was hurt, and no one sacrificed their lives; even the high-ranking officials within the Church who were under Parasitism had the Parasite inside them magically disappear into thin air."

"This is our total victory, Miss Yun."

"Total victory, huh..." Yun Mu was silent for a moment, then also smiled: "Yes, it's all over."

It was just that the people who died on the night of the Sacred Night had all 'resurrected'; before that, there were the people who died in experiments due to Bishop Land's selfish desires, and the victims of the Dried Corpse Murder Case.

Compared to the outcome of an Outer God descending into the human world, the sacrifices of her predecessor before she transmigrated, as well as Elena, were merely insignificant costs; she would absolutely never think this way in her heart.

"In two hours, Bishop Muse will be giving a speech and summary regarding this incident inside the Church. Would you like to come with me?"

Seeming to have seen through her thoughts, Brenna suggested.

"The public and the media are all very eager to meet the great hero who resolved this incident," she teased with a soft laugh.

"A great hero?"

"Me?"

Yun Mu appeared somewhat confused, and only after Brenna nodded did she become certain that the other party was talking about her.

"Don't," she shook her head self-deprecatingly: "I was only doing it to protect myself. In fact, even without me, this incident would have been resolved."

"No," Brenna shook her head firmly upon hearing her words.

She reached out both hands to gently lift Yun Mu's palms and slowly clasped them.

"If it were not for Miss Yun, this incident involving the Scarlet would never have gone so smoothly."

"No matter how others view it, in my eyes..."

Pausing, she looked Yun Mu in the eyes very solemnly.

"You are unique and irreplaceable."

Mine, Miss Yun.

The Young Girl silently uttered the second half of the sentence in her heart.
