Chapter 207: The Teleportation Plaza

She had planned to get up early the next morning, but Bai Yue Ling ended up lazing around until noon.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to get up—she simply couldn’t.

“Ever since I changed class, I feel like I’m getting more and more tired…”

Bai Yue Ling lay on the bed. The sunlight streaming in from the window made her squint slightly as she stared blankly at the ceiling.

“My head hurts, I’m dizzy, my body’s so sore…” Bai Yue Ling murmured. “Feels like I’ve got a hangover debuff…”

Jelly lay sprawled on top of her and said lazily, “But you were clearly very happy before.”

“It’s different.” Bai Yue Ling’s face was expressionless. “I’m in sage time now.”

“Sage time? Is that useful?” Jelly wriggled and said disdainfully, “A consort should devote her body and mind entirely to the queen. A consort who isn’t honest before her queen will be punished.”

Bai Yue Ling trembled slightly and stubbornly gritted her teeth. “Trash queen! I never agreed to be your royal consort… mm—wait! I was wrong…”

“You will agree.” Jelly said meaningfully, “That’s not up to you.”

In the last Fate World update, pets were allowed to exceed their master’s level by up to ten, which pushed Jelly’s level directly to thirty-one.

Jelly could vaguely feel that the day she would break through the contract was getting closer and closer. When that time came, she would cast off the restraints of her pet status and do as she pleased to this white-haired, big-breasted girl like an older sister.

However, the naive Little Bai still knew nothing about it.

“Alright, alright, let’s log in.”

Dragging her limp body, Bai Yue Ling brushed her teeth and washed her face, then climbed back into the game pod with Jelly in her arms.

“Fate World, start!”

[Respected Priest Hero Miss, welcome to Fate World.]

With a flash of white light, Bai Yue Ling spawned once again in the plaza of Songyuan City.

Today, there were far more players in Songyuan City than before. The plaza was packed shoulder to shoulder, and Bai Yue Ling almost thought she had spawned in the royal capital’s plaza.

Because of the sudden attack by the Theocracy, the royal capital had begun to value this border town again and directly established a two-way teleportation array between the two locations. Players only needed to pay some gold coins to cross the vast territory and arrive at the kingdom’s frontier.

Although Songyuan City was not as prosperous and lively as the royal capital, the monster levels here were much higher than those near the capital. For players who had reached level twenty or above, it was a good grinding spot.

Bai Yue Ling had just yawned when Anlisa’s voice sounded in her mind. “Didn’t you go back to your world to sleep? Why are you still so listless?”

Bai Yue Ling complained, “Because Jelly kept clinging to me the whole time—how could I sleep…”

“What? That slime can actually go to your world?” Anlisa’s voice suddenly rose a lot. Besides shock and confusion, there was also a hint of jealousy. “Why can she go but I can’t?”

“No idea… I’m confused too.”

“When will you let me visit your home too?”

“That’s not up to me…” Bai Yue Ling was covered in black lines.

'Every single one of them wants to go to the real world… If they really got there, everything would be chaos.'

“Oh right, there’s a skill I forgot to give you,” Anlisa said. “It’s the reward for corrupting Viki.”

[You have learned the skill “Fallen Halo.”]

[Skill Name: Fallen Halo (Passive)]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Cost: None]

[Learning Requirement: None]

[Attribute Bonus: None]

[Description: Centered on yourself, continuously releases a faint fallen aura within a radius of five meters. Those not fallen are unaffected, but those already fallen will have their corruption value continuously increase, gaining one percent every ten minutes.]

[Note: With it, you are a walking Fallen Princess!]

After seeing this skill, Bai Yue Ling immediately complained, “Can I not learn this skill?”

Anlisa was puzzled. “Why?”

“Because your ‘Fallen Halo’ combined with ‘Fragrance of Enchantment’ is basically screwing me over.”

“How so?”

“Because ever since I changed class, I’ve been getting more and more unlucky.” She counted on her fingers. “First Xisitana, then Jelly, then Zijing Yue… It’s only been a few days, and I already have three big sisters. Your corruption is really harmful.”

“Is it? But I think you seem quite happy yourself. How can you blame that on me?”

“Don’t act innocent and dump the blame, hey!”

Bai Yue Ling still didn’t know that after her class change, her journey of suffering had only just begun.

Following the crowd, Bai Yue Ling successfully found the location of the teleportation array.

It was an open courtyard. A pale-blue magic circle ten meters in diameter lay spread across the ground, with figures constantly emerging from it. Outside the courtyard, a line had formed, and two guards stood at the entrance, responsible for checking arrivals and collecting gold coins.

Outside the queue, Bai Yue Ling spotted a familiar figure—Lielie.

She was wrapped head to toe in a tattered black cloth, standing by the teleportation array looking at a loss.

Bai Yue Ling walked over and patted her shoulder. “Why are you just standing here like an idiot?”

“Little Bai?” Lielie happily hugged her. “Great, I was just worrying about not having gold to take the teleportation array!”

“No gold?” Bai Yue Ling complained. “You’re at least the sixth-ranked top player on the combat power leaderboard now. How can you not even take out a few hundred?”

“Because I usually live in the wild, so I rarely go into main cities to trade.”

“Then you must have saved up lots of monster materials. Why not sell them?”

“Hehe…” Lielie scratched her head embarrassedly. “I ate those materials.”

“You…” Bai Yue Ling was speechless. “Fine, I’ll transfer you ten thousand gold. Accept it.”

“Ten thousand?” Lielie’s eyes widened instantly. She grabbed Bai Yue Ling’s thigh and wagged her dragon tail wildly. “That’s great, Little Bai! I’ll follow you from now on!”

“You’re hugging too hard…”

“Mm, right, I need to hide my tail…”

Lielie lowered her head and smoothed out the wrinkled black cloth. Suddenly thinking of something, she looked up and asked, “Oh right, Little Bai, what about the other black cloth you stripped off me before?”

“That one? I put it in my backpack.” Bai Yue Ling took the black cloth out of her backpack and handed it to Lielie. “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve almost forgotten. Here.”

Lielie took the black cloth that had been kneaded into a ball and held it to her nose to sniff. “Sniff, why does the smell feel a bit different from before?”

“Really?” Bai Yue Ling froze slightly. “I-it should be fine…”

'Oh no, I should’ve washed it first.'

Because the night before last, she had used this black cloth like a bedsheet, laying it under herself and Xisitana.

Meanwhile, the completely unaware Lielie had already covered her face with the black cloth.

[Player “Lielie” corruption value increased by four percent. Current corruption value: five percent.]
