Chapter 316: Impatience

She covered her mouth, forced down the urge to vomit, her gaze like the sharpest Ice Cone, fiercely stabbing at the seemingly innocent (?) A Xing beside her, then glanced at the Jin Shanshan still dry‑heaving in the air, its image completely gone, and finally looked at Chang Ye Yue beside her, pinching his nose with a subtle expression.

The genius mind instantly sorted out the current situation:

She had been urgently pulled here by the Master with a Command Spell, arriving at a battlefield filled with an indescribable foul stench, the opponent being that hated Jin Shanshan, and the source of the stench…

It was very likely related to her own eccentric‑tasting Master!

New grievances (being forcibly summoned, placed in a foul environment) and old grudges (the doll being stolen, being framed, rumors spread, exile, and now having to smell this!) surged together, and Black Tower's anger meter instantly surpassed the critical point!

She was too lazy even to ask what had happened, and too lazy to say any nonsense.

She acted directly!

She raised her hand, her slender fingers elegantly slicing through the air!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Countless magic mirrors, their edges swirling with intricate purple runes and centers rotating like a deep starry sky, materialized above the forest, layered upon layered like a blooming inverted flower, all surfaces aimed at the Archer in the air who had just taken a breath, his face a ghastly green!

Each magic mirror began to gather a heart‑pounding Magic Wave, a violet energy beam condensing at the center of the surface!

Archer was completely enraged as well!

Twice humiliated in the same way (physically, mentally, olfactorily), and now this Caster points such a "grand display" at his nose (though there is no nose to point at)!

All that regal bearing, all that elegant combat—go to hell!

"Caster—!!! And you damned Miscellaneous Cultivation—!! All of you, die for The King!!!"

Behind him, golden ripples more dazzling than ever before erupted wildly!

More, stronger, older Noble Phantasm projections sprang out their edges as if they were free!

Vowing to utterly erase everything below, including this forest, together!

The next second—

In another secluded district of Dongmu City, the streetlights were dim, all sounds silent, only the night wind wailing through the empty street.

The Chong Kai Assassin stood like a silent black statue at the center of the crossroads, its dark‑red visual slit gazing toward the shadows on the other side of the street.

Tap, tap, tap.

Elegant, lazy footsteps approached, a swaying fox tail and seductive figure emerging from the shadows.

Huan Long swayed the folding fan in her hand, a smile that seemed to see through everything yet find it amusing hanging on her face, stopping twenty meters in front of the Chong Kai Assassin.

"Oh dear, we meet again, mysterious black knight, sir?"

Huan Long's voice carried a teasing lilt, her fox eyes slightly narrowed as she sized up the inhuman creation before her, "No, perhaps I should ask... I'm curious, who exactly are you? Or rather, who is the one behind you?"

She took a light step forward, the fan half‑covering her vermilion lips: "Let me guess... you probably aren't a native of this world, are you? That familiar aura about you... Heh, just like me, tossed here by some Fun God as an accidental guest?"

The Chong Kai Assassin remained silent, its blade appendages behind subtly adjusting their angles.

Whoosh—!

Answering Huan Long was a jet‑black bone spear suddenly launched from its back, tearing the air, heading straight for Huan Long's face!

Huan Long's smile remained unchanged, her figure flickering like a reflection on water, the spear pierced through her lingering afterimage and drove deep into the wall behind.

Her true form was already three steps away.

"How impatient."

Huan Long swayed the fan, her interest deepening, thoughts racing at high speed (Indeed, not merely acting on this body's power. Higher‑level commands are at work. To locate me so precisely and still interfere with my catalysis of Lancer...)

She closed the folding fan, lightly tapped it against her palm, her tone still gentle yet undeniably certain: "But you guessed, didn't you? This borrowed shell's strength truly isn't that great."

She spread her arms as if embracing the whole district, "But I have never relied on brute force to win."

Snap.

She snapped her fingers lightly.

As if receiving an invisible signal, the windows of the once‑quiet residential buildings along the street lit up one by one.

Immediately after, doors opened, one after another, figures with staggered steps and hollow, vacant eyes walked onto the street.

There were middle‑aged men in pajamas, little girls clutching dolls, grandmothers carrying vegetable baskets...

They gathered on the street as if sleepwalking, slowly surrounding the Chong Kai Assassin in the center, their numbers swelling.

Huan Long's voice, like a demon's whisper, echoed through the silent district: "I've already persuaded most of the locals here to let the little guests inside them sleep more peacefully, and... be more obedient. Of course, that includes those little guests themselves."

She smiled sweetly at the Chong Kai Assassin, "So, how about a deal? It's simple: tell me who you really are, who commands you. After all, though hidden deep, that lingering aftertaste of Destruction, and this exquisite method of control... I'm becoming increasingly interested in your master."

The Chong Kai Assassin remained silent, but as more and more citizens closed in, its blade appendages behind slowly lifted; the tip of one appendage revealed a deep‑purple light sphere it had extracted from its sakura body, its glow gently swirling.

Huan Long's gaze fell on the violet sphere, a flash of understanding in her fox eyes: "Oh? The core of Breeding? So it's in your hands. Is this your crutch? Trying to use it to affect the hatcheries I control?"

She shook her head lightly, as if lamenting his naivety, "Unfortunately, with only that, in my view, it's still insufficient to contend with me."

She flicked her wrist, the fan gently sweeping toward the surrounding controlled citizens.

An invisible wave spread.

The next second, every controlled citizen on the street had the hollow on their faces instantly replaced by a twisted expression of pain!

They all covered their abdomens, letting out painful moans as their bodies convulsed and they bent over!

Under the skin, writhing bulges began to roam wildly, as if whatever was inside was about to burst out!

Huan Long's voice carried a cold delight: "Look, whenever I wish, they can be born at any moment. Using these fresh lives as fireworks, as stakes... you, or rather the one behind you, what will you do? Watch half the district's people bloom before you, eyes wide open?"

Yet, the violet sphere atop the Chong Kai Assassin's blade tip suddenly flared brilliantly at that moment!

A strange wave, centered on the sphere, spread outward, gently yet firmly brushing each convulsing, painful citizen!

The effect was immediate!

Those Breeding Bugs that surged wildly inside them, trying to burst out from the chest or abdomen, seemed to be forcibly held by an invisible hand, and their direction reversed!

Their struggling motions abruptly halted, then... reluctantly shifted toward a more proper, conventional exit beneath their bodies—

The painful distortion on the citizens' faces eased slightly, but then turned into another extremely odd physiological discomfort!

They felt the deadly thing in their stomachs no longer pushing upward, but... exiting.

Stopped at a certain subtle position……

The smile on Huan Long's face froze for the first time.

She clearly felt that her forced body‑burst command on those insects was being interfered with by a higher‑priority disturbance!

Those insects are now in an extremely heaven‑defying state—caught between the "burst‑out‑of‑the‑chest" command and the "leave from the correct place" correction, being—!

At the sole exit passage inside the host's body, a sit‑up is being staged!

The result of this is……

「……」！

Oh my god!

What is … what is … there … huh?!
