Yelan stepped forward and greeted Gaming:
"Gaming, what a coincidence. We actually have something to discuss with you. Didn't expect to run into you here…"
"Oh, it's Sister Yelan and Su Yuan!"
Gaming smiled and greeted back:
"At the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency, there's a respected elder whose medicine is running out, so he entrusted me to come to Bubu Pharmacy to get more medicine from Doctor Baizhu…"
"If you need me for something, you'll have to wait until I deliver the medicine first, since I already promised that elder…"
Yelan nodded, while Su Yuan observed the surroundings carefully, noticing nothing unusual…
According to the hint from the palm, and calculating the time, Yelan should be about to fall into the eerie state soon—so why is there no sign of it at all?
Su Yuan stared again at the jade bracelet on Yelan's right wrist.
Under the sunlight, it looked crystal clear and dazzling, clearly a precious gem...
But in the next moment, something happened that Su Yuan never expected...
He heard several "crack" sounds — the ancestral jade bracelet on Yelan's right wrist suddenly developed several cracks in an instant...
The cracks kept spreading across the surface of the bracelet, growing bigger and longer...
Then, the bracelet shattered completely, breaking into many fragments that scattered on the ground...
Su Yuan: ???
What on earth is going on?
He had been on guard all along, protecting the bracelet, watching out for any accidents to Yelan, and keeping an eye on the surroundings for enemies...
But now it turns out the truth is like this?
Yes, it destroyed itself...
Without any external interference, the bracelet actually shattered on its own???
Don't tell me it's because the sun is shining high today, the weather's too hot, and that's why the jade bracelet cracked???
"This jade bracelet has been passed down in my family for so many years, after all, it's quite an antique..."
Yelan said as she bent down, picking up the broken pieces of the bracelet from the ground one by one...
Then, an eerie power slowly emanated from Yelan's body, crushing the jade fragments in her hand into powder, which she then scattered into the air, letting the powder drift away with the wind...
"If it's broken, then let it be broken. Let all those things from the past just drift away with the wind..."
Taking advantage of this moment, Su Yuan quickly grabbed Gaming and ran back inside the Bubu Pharmacy without looking back!
Gaming was startled by Su Yuan's sudden action and felt confused, so he asked:
"Su Yuan, you look so anxious—what exactly happened?"
"Sister Yelan's ancestral jade bracelet broke for some unknown reason. Judging by her expression, she seems a bit upset. Shouldn't we comfort her?"
"Gaming, did you sense a bad omen coming from Yelan?"
Su Yuan grabbed Gaming and dashed wildly into the Bubu Pharmacy, explaining briefly as they ran:
"This is a sign of her turning 'eerie'..."
"I'll explain the details later. For now, you just need to know that the Yelan you see now is no longer Yelan! She has become a merciless demon who kills without blinking!!!"
"We must get inside the Bubu Pharmacy immediately and tell Zhongli and Baizhu about this!"
Seeing Su Yuan's serious and determined expression, Gaming said nothing more and just nodded, showing he understood.
Unexpectedly, "Yelan" didn't stop Su Yuan and Gaming from fleeing.
They managed to enter the Bubu Pharmacy without issue.
"Hm? Su Yuan? And Gaming?"
Baizhu looked at the out-of-breath Su Yuan and Gaming with a puzzled expression and said:
"Su Yuan, you found Gaming so quickly? It's only been a few minutes…"
"By the way, why are there only the two of you? Isn't Yelan with you?"
"Zhongli! Baizhu! Qiqi!" Su Yuan shouted urgently, "Yelan's ancestral bracelet mysteriously shattered, and she's already been corrupted by the eerie force! Get ready to fight!!!"
"Yes, the conditions for eerie transformation are more than one!!!"
Seeing Su Yuan's urgency, Baizhu immediately realized the severity of the situation and ordered Qiqi:
"Qiqi, prepare to set your command and fight Yelan!"
"Qiqi, don't rush!" Su Yuan reminded, "Do a set of gentle stretches first, then set your command!"
"I understand…" Qiqi nodded and performed a simple set of gentle stretches.
Then, the talisman on Qiqi's forehead began to glow and flutter…
Watching Qiqi's movements, Su Yuan felt that a single eerie Qiqi might not be enough to fight against the eerie Yelan.
So, Su Yuan turned to Gaming and asked:
"Gaming, does your Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency usually transport living people among the cargo?"
Gaming was taken aback by the question: "Transport people? No, no, no. Our escort agency rarely even transports live animals, let alone people…"
"Usually, we transport things like tea leaves, jewelry, ceramics, that kind of cargo…"
"Gaming, listen carefully. Your condition for eerie transformation is very likely triggered when the cargo you're escorting is damaged or threatened…"
"To use your eerie state rule to fight Yelan, you have to imagine us as your cargo and protect us…"
"Think about it, Gaming— back in ancient times, escort agencies didn't just transport goods, right? Bodyguards were also responsible for protecting people's safety, right?"
"So that's how it is… Using the clash of rules to make the eerie fight the eerie. I understand now…"
After listening to Su Yuan's explanation, Gaming nodded and said:
"Normally, escorting anything would require signing a formal written contract, but given the urgency of the situation, let's make a verbal contract between us for now!"
"Alright." Su Yuan nodded in agreement.
Just as Su Yuan and Gaming finished speaking, the front door of Bubu Pharmacy swung open from the outside...
The figure of "Yelan" appeared at the doorway.
With a curious and playful look, she glanced at everyone and said:
"Got all your preparations done? Then I'm coming over now, okay?"
Looking at "Yelan" and her teasing expression, Su Yuan felt like she was a confident hunter toying with her prey in the palm of her hand...
The first to act was "Qiqi"!
Qiqi, holding her one-handed sword, turned into a blur as she charged straight toward "Yelan"!
Su Yuan felt that his warning had worked!
After doing the warm-up stretches, Qiqi's joints were no longer stiff, and her speed had clearly increased a lot!
The battle had begun.
With Qiqi and Gaming working together two-on-one, could they defeat Yelan?
