Chapter 710: Residual Influence (Thanks to Hui Chen for the Silver Alliance reward)

This is the normal Mirror World? Lu Mi looked at the gloomy, illusory, and unreal roads around him, like a mosquito trapped on a complex spider web, feeling a sense of fear for no reason, as if a huge, twisted, pitch-black spider would crawl out from the depths of this strange place at any time, dragging him and Fu Lan Ka into the dark bottom representing destruction.

"Does every illusory path connect to a mirror?" Fu Lan Ka's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Mi's ear, very close, her breathing audible.

At the same time, Lu Mi smelled a sweet scent with a hint of warmth, his blood vessels inexplicably swelled, and his body and mind relaxed a little.

Fu Lan Ka didn't know when she had already leaned against him, her eyes flickering as she looked around.

Lu Mi nodded slightly:

"Theoretically, that's the case."

"Wrong!" Fu Lan Ka denied herself, "It might also connect to some mysterious different-dimensional spaces."

"Yeah..." Lu Mi remembered the common sense about the Mirror World he had learned before.

He exhaled and took a step forward:

"I think that in that situation, what it connects to should also be mirrors, mirrors belonging to those mysterious different-dimensional spaces."

Before Fu Lan Ka could respond, he pointed to the gloomy and dark illusory road ahead:

"Without mastering the coordinate laws and positioning methods of the Mirror World, walking here rashly should be a very dangerous thing. If you're lucky, you might just go to the wrong mirror and have to return to the real world. If you're unlucky, you'll arrive at a mirror representing a dangerous place, and you'll have to face a terrifying enemy as soon as you go out. If you're the unluckiest..."

Having said this, Lu Mi paused.

Fu Lan Ka squeezed to his side again and asked in a soft voice:

"If you're the unluckiest, what will happen?"

"You will, you will disappear in this Mirror World forever. You won't see anyone alive, and you won't find a corpse if you die." Lu Mi steadied his mind and tried to take another step forward.

Suddenly, he felt the gloomy, illusory, and unreal road seem to turn into a huge whirlpool, pulling him to fall into it.

Fu Lan Ka had a similar feeling, and her spirituality warned her strongly.

The two retreated a step at the same time, breaking away from the suction of the terrifying whirlpool.

"It's really dangerous." Fu Lan Ka sighed, "Even if you just approach these illusory paths without thinking of going deep, you will be forced to fall toward an unknown mirror. At such times, perhaps you can only rely on the luck of 'Winners,' hoping the destination isn't too bad. Uh, your ability to amplify fate or push fate should also be useful."

Lu Mi nodded:

"I originally thought there was a close connection between the Mirror World and the Spirit Realm, and 'Teleportation' could also be used here. But now it seems that there is a connection, but it's not enough to support me in 'Teleportation.' It's not that I can't shuttle, but it's too dangerous, almost 100% lost."

"Without mastering the abilities related to the Mirror World, unless there is help from a high-level 'Witch' or a high-level 'Apprentice,' I don't recommend using this place to ambush Moran Avigny."

Seeing Fu Lan Ka nod thoughtfully, Lu Mi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and deliberately laughed in a teasing tone:

"Has your state recovered?"

"Ah?" Fu Lan Ka was stunned for a moment, then became angry from embarrassment, "What can I do? When using a ritual to pray to the Primordial for help, it's inevitable to be affected to a certain extent. Sometimes you'll be tempted, sometimes you'll feel pain, sometimes you'll feel depressed, like having a temporary mental illness, sometimes you'll be stiff for a while, as if you've turned into a stone statue..."

After becoming an official member of the Witch sect, the "Black Witch" taught Fu Lan Ka a lot of arcane knowledge, especially related to praying and begging to the "Primordial Witch."

Regarding similar things, the "Black Witch's" saying was:

As the host of the ritual, the ritual itself provides a certain amount of protection, and the degree of influence from the Primordial's overflow is very low. After the ritual ends, just endure it for ten or twenty seconds. The only thing to note is that desire is a normal reaction after being charmed by the Primordial, and it will fade slowly. However, which Witch doesn't have a few lovers? No need to worry too much about this.

Fu Lan Ka spoke more and more eloquently, even feeling a little aggrieved:

"That's a true god! A little influence from a true god's overflow, how could I possibly resist it?"

"If I weren't the host of the ritual, I would have long ago been unable to control myself and gone wild with animalistic desire."

Speaking of going wild with animalistic desire, Fu Lan Ka amused herself.

—In the Mirror World, she had always used "Primordial" to refer to the "Primordial Witch" to avoid blasphemy.

Lu Mi thought for a moment and said:

"Praying to other true gods won't have similar things, unless someone is blaspheming on the spot."

"Who told you the Primordial's state isn't quite right?" Fu Lan Ka had long thought of the reason, "Don't think that you can endure it because you're a 'Monk.' If you were on the scene at the time and weren't the host of the ritual, hehe, I could see you going wild with animalistic desire."

Having said this, she looked Lu Mi up and down, curled her lips, and laughed softly:

"You're not without reaction, are you? Are you afraid that you won't be able to endure it, so you deliberately exposed my state to make things awkward?"

Unknowingly, Fu Lan Ka's breathing became heavy again.

Lu Mi let out a "Heh":

"When I arrived, the residual influence on the scene hadn't completely dissipated, and there was still a strange fragrance permeating. That's a true god! A little influence from a true god's overflow, how could I possibly resist it?"

He repeated Fu Lan Ka's words.

"Is that so? Just because of the influence of the residual scent?" Fu Lan Ka's lake-blue eyes narrowed dangerously, as if she had been provoked.

The water light in her eyes reappeared, shimmering as if fragments of sunlight had been sprinkled in.

Lu Mi exhaled, walked to the side, and grabbed Fu Lan Ka's upper arm:

"I'll send you back first. Jianna is waiting for you."

"Going back just like this?" Fu Lan Ka asked in surprise, "Not exploring the Mirror World anymore, thinking about ways to use this place?"

"I have a way." Lu Mi pulled Fu Lan Ka, who was leaning over, and detached from the gloomy world where the illusory tunnels were like spider webs.

After returning to the quarry cavity, Fu Lan Ka, whose attention had been diverted, asked:

"What way?"

While trying to activate the black mark on his right shoulder, Lu Mi answered expressionlessly:

"Contract ability."

He planned to find a supernatural creature with the ability to shuttle through the Mirror World to sign a contract and obtain the corresponding trait!

Anyway, he hadn't decided which three abilities he wanted to contract this time, so this could be one of them.

"Right, contract ability..." Fu Lan Ka was happy in her heart.

She then discovered that Lu Mi was still staying in place, and with a sudden realization, she leaned into the other party's ear and laughed lowly:

"Aren't you going to 'Teleport'? Why haven't you left yet? Is your 'Spirit Realm Shuttle' activation always this slow, or are you enduring something?"

Just as Fu Lan Ka finished speaking, the two figures disappeared into the dark quarry cavity.

…………

In the evening, in the apartment Lu Mi rented.

That nearly one-meter-long Felt fire fish was placed on the dining table. Ludwig held a child's dinner knife, broke the scorched yellow and hard fish skin from the weak point, and cut the tender white fish meat inside into slices.

Lu Mi glanced at Fu Lan Ka, who had changed into a light-colored hunting outfit, and found that this "Pleasure Witch" had evasive eyes, full of embarrassment.

She seemed to be wailing:

"Kill me!

"It's too shameful, I don't want to live anymore!"

Lu Mi, who was also a little embarrassed, showed a smile because of this.

He mouthed to Fu Lan Ka:

"The sage time is truly great."

Although Fu Lan Ka didn't know how to read lips very well, she still felt Lu Mi's mockery.

Pleasure harms people!

Pleasure harms people!

Regardless of whether it's a man, a woman, or someone who is neither, when pleasure thoughts fill the brain, one will always do all kinds of things that make oneself socially dead!

Too shameful!

I don't want to live anymore!

At this moment, Fu Lan Ka wished the ground would crack open so she could hide in it.

Anthony, who was sitting quietly by the dining table, glanced at Lu Mi, then at Fu Lan Ka, and withdrew his gaze.

Finally, Ludwig removed the parts inconvenient for human consumption and sliced enough fish for three soup pots.

Fu Lan Ka froze one of the pots directly with ice and put it into her "Traveler's Bag" for future use, while Ludwig pushed the other one to Lu Jianuo and said in a child's tone:

"Can we have fish fillet and clam cream soup tonight?"

"Okay." Lu Jianuo agreed quickly.

He tried hard to control his gaze from wandering over the two Witches, Fu Lan Ka and Jianna, feeling that this was disrespectful to the boss.

In his view, these two Witches should both be the boss's lovers.

He secretly praised:

As expected of the boss, he actually has Witches as lovers, and there are two of them!

Back then, Emperor Roselle only had one.

After pouring a large amount of lemon juice into the pot of fish fillets, Ludwig pushed them to Lu Mi.

His intention was very clear: now he needed the fresh blood of a "Hunter" pathway Beyonder of a middle sequence.

"How much do you need?" Lu Mi asked.

"Just enough to stir them up." Ludwig looked like this was the minimum requirement.

Jianna saw this and frowned, asking:

"How much does each person need to eat to get that permanent effect?"

Ludwig answered "innocently":

"Different constitutions, different sequences, different amounts needed. You'll only know when you actually eat it."

Lu Mi raised an eyebrow and put all the remaining blood of Gardner Ma Ding into the soup pot.

Seeing that it was still a little short, he used the ritual silver dagger to cut a wound on his hand and dripped 20 or 30 milliliters of blood into it.

Ludwig looked on with anticipation.

"Aren't you worried about pollution anymore?" Lu Mi asked with a sneer.

Ludwig shook his head:

"The current amount is small enough."

Fu Lan Ka tried hard to make herself look normal and said with a laugh:

"Talking about toxicity while ignoring dosage is just being a hooligan."

"Yes." Ludwig agreed with Fu Lan Ka's words and stirred the pot of fish fillets with a spoon.

Those drops of blood that seemed to still be burning were gradually absorbed by the tender white fish meat, and the fish meat slowly began to scorch.

"Put in ice cubes." Ludwig looked at Fu Lan Ka and Jianna.

The two Witches stood up at the same time and reached their hands over the soup pot.

Drops of white frost condensed and fell like rain, significantly alleviating the scorching trend of the fish meat until it stopped.

Ludwig jumped off the chair, ran into the kitchen, hugged several silver dinner plates, and then distributed seven or eight "Iced Lemon Fish Fillets" to everyone.

"Is this enough?" Jianna asked with a stunned smile.

"If it's not enough, you can add two or three more slices." Ludwig answered sincerely.

Jianna instinctively wanted to say a habitual phrase, but after seeing Ludwig's child-like appearance, she held it back.

She pointed to the dinner plates of herself and the others and said:

"We only need to eat this little bit of fish, and you asked Lu Mi for so much fresh blood?"

"Why not make less and leave the rest of the pot for tomorrow?"

Ludwig hugged the soup pot in front of him and shouted loudly:

"Mine!"

"..." Jianna suddenly felt like a witch snatching candy from a child.

Sure enough, he was using public office for private gain... Lu Mi looked at Ludwig and shook his head with a smile:

"Only when it comes to eating do you still have a brain."

After saying that, Lu Mi swept all the "Iced Lemon Fish Fillets" on his dinner plate into his mouth.
