Chapter 203
Yuxun Ge glanced at the time: 35:47. Goodness! The male lead, a son-in-law, not only became a bath attendant for Heifei but was also working the night shift.
Since she was a bit far away, Yuxun Ge had to fly closer to clearly see the information she was investigating. She wasn’t worried about being discovered by Heifei; if he did spot her, she could always give him a taste of her Pikachu and teach him a lesson.
**Chapter 253: Unknown Curse Level II**
At the moment when Heifei, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them, Yuxun Ge caught a glimpse of Yuxun Huan’s current attributes and his trust level in her.
**[Yuxun Huan] Level 3 (53.49%) (Lowest Rank Snake Servant) (Trust Level: 91) (Unknown Curse Level II: All healing effects reduced by 10%; health decreases by 5 points per minute; contagious)**
**[Health]:** 350/350
**[Mana]:** 200/200
**[Strength]:** 15
**[Constitution]:** 21
**[Intelligence]:** 15
**[Agility]:** 15
Before she could be surprised by Yuxun Huan’s attributes, she noticed that his right hand, which was applying essential oil to Heifei, was missing two fingers. His arm was pockmarked, clearly clawed out by a dragon.
Moreover, under the moonlight, snake scales were faintly visible on Yuxun Huan’s face and body, making his already haggard appearance look even more terrifying.
In that moment, Yuxun Ge felt an indescribable thrill, even more satisfying than the moment she had successfully stolen Yuxun Huan’s talent!
This was how it should be! Yuxun Huan deserved to suffer more than her, more than Su Yitong and Liang Yuchuan, and even more than the Han siblings!
She quietly enjoyed the scene for a few minutes, but soon a sense of boredom crept in.
It was like waking up the day after a wild party, left with nothing but emptiness and tedium.
When she had just been reborn, her heart was filled with hatred and regret, wanting to bite anyone she encountered. But as she calmed down and assessed her strength compared to the Su, Liang, and Han families, she chose to take her time. Whether it was through injections, sowing discord, or sneaking into their vaults to steal gold, those were the most intense yet safest forms of revenge she could muster at that time, as her soul was still that of a struggling weakling.
But with her growing power, she was no longer that powerless victim, nor was she the coward who had to fight for every single day of existence.
She saw the vastness of the world, encountered matters of increasing significance that could even change the course of history, and met or clashed with powerful figures like Hechipa, Wuren, and Lucia. She had glimpsed parts of their lives and experienced their allure up close. Now, looking back at the past, those grudges and hatreds she thought she could never let go of seemed like nothing more than a heavy rain on the long road of life…
Now, when she looked at Yuxun Huan and the others, it felt as if she were observing ants and clowns, just as she once viewed Liu Zhengliu. Because she had never taken Liu Zhengliu to heart, revenge felt as easy as brushing dirt off her clothes—quick and casual.
Yuxun Ge closed her eyes, silently calming her thoughts. She reminded herself that great power often breeds arrogance.
The invisible Yuxun Ge flew half a meter to the left, avoiding a gust of wind that Heifei had sent her way after discovering her presence. She took one last look at Yuxun Huan and continued flying forward, as if she were merely passing through—today wasn’t suitable; she would return when she had a solid alibi to take Yuxun Huan’s attributes.
After shaking off the agents from the Special Affairs Bureau who were pursuing her, Yuxun Ge transformed into a small cat and found Baozi.
Baozi had clearly grown accustomed to cats coming to her for business. She naturally invited the cat into McDonald's, pulled out a chair for her, and even served her a Spicy McChicken meal.
Yuxun Ge presented her pre-written note: “I want information on Yuxun Ge, Yuxun Huan, the Su family, and the Liang family. You decide what to say, and I’ll pay based on the importance of the information. I’ll give you one coin for each piece of information you provide. If you think the payment isn’t enough, we can halt the transaction.”
Knowing this was the wealthy old lady, Baozi didn’t hesitate. Doing business with her was more profitable than dragging out three deals with others.
However, it seemed that this cat was not someone to offend lightly…
Without hesitation, Baozi began to spill the beans.
“Yuxun Ge’s whereabouts are hard to pin down; her information is the most valuable in the circle. The hottest news right now is that her Legion Order was obtained on the grasslands. On her way back, she was caught by the Special Affairs Bureau while trying to sneak a flight, but judging by the Bureau’s attitude, she must have initiated a trade with them. Recently, many forces have sent people to the grasslands looking for news about the Legion Order.”
“Hey? Are you feeling unwell? Is it because you can’t eat spicy food after turning into a cat?”
The white cat sitting on the chair silently set down the Spicy McChicken—it suddenly lost its appetite. The cat shook its head, signaling her to continue.
“Many people want to buy news about her Legion Order, but she seems to be living in isolation, rarely seen outside. She used to take Tulan out for shopping occasionally, but recently no one knows where she is. It seems she’s not even at her villa; she probably went… well, that’s another piece of information, and it’s quite expensive. You’ll need to pay upfront for that.”
Yuxun Ge pulled out 2 gold coins and handed them to Baozi. She understood Baozi’s meaning; the news about players still being able to go to Zelan wouldn’t be sold easily, and they needed to agree on a price first.
Waving her hand to indicate she wasn’t buying that expensive piece of information, she pulled out a second note: “Is there any other news?”
Baozi replied, “Do you want to hear about her parents?”
The white cat nodded.
“They’ve joined a force called ‘Wildfire’ in B City, and there’s a huge conflict between that force and the Yuxu family in B City. But I’m not clear on the specifics; I don’t really understand the situation in B City. Consider this information a gift.”
“Yuxun Huan’s news is just as hard to come by. The place he’s with Heifei is currently under 24-hour surveillance by the Special Affairs Bureau, so I don’t have any information to sell you.”
“As for the Su family, Su Yitong has somewhat separated from them, but it’s not exactly a split; she’s become semi-independent. She’s formed her own team and gained partial ownership of the Su family’s dungeon screen, but she still lives with the Su family. Many people in the Su family are complaining that Su Yitong is unapproachable, but those comments have been suppressed by Su Langfeng.”
If it had truly been suppressed, Baozi wouldn’t have known about it, let alone shared it with her. Su Langfeng was likely just putting on a show. From an outsider’s perspective, Yuxun Ge felt that Su Yitong was simply unable to let go. The more she couldn’t let go, the more she wanted to prove herself to those people. It was truly pitiful. She wondered how those on the outside viewed her—was she also unwilling to accept her fate?
A few seconds later, Yuxun Ge snapped back to reality and pushed 3 gold coins forward, feeling pleased. This information was something she wouldn’t have been able to uncover even if she went to the Su family herself in the short term.
“Su Baibo was disfigured when he was sprayed in the face with poison from a BOSS during a raid, and the Su family is currently looking for top-tier treatment, willing to pay any price.”
“Liang family has been in contact with Su Yitong privately, but I haven’t been able to find out the specifics.”
“Recently, several players from the Liang family have developed snake scales all over their bodies, significantly boosting their attributes, and they’ve also gained some powerful skills. The Special Affairs Bureau is investigating this matter.”
**Chapter 254: Never Heard of Bathing Enhancing Racial Abilities!**
Back home, Yuxun Ge was still pondering the Liang family’s situation. She hadn’t expected them to collaborate with Yuxun Huan and Heifei. The snake scales were such an obvious trait that the Special Affairs Bureau couldn’t possibly overlook it. With Yuxun Huan giving the dragon baths every day, the Bureau would certainly have the capability to investigate the snake servant issue.
Combining that with the fact that Heifei was under constant surveillance by the Bureau, the “investigation” here was likely focused on how Heifei was turning Liang family members into snake servants.
And what about Yuxu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo? How did they end up joining Wildfire… What abilities did they possess that caught the Han family’s attention?
Lost in thought, she suddenly felt a series of bright red chains wrapping around her, attempting to tighten their grip! Almost simultaneously, delicate pink flowers began to bloom rapidly along the chains, and before they could completely ensnare her, the flowers quickly engulfed the chains until they were entirely consumed.
In an instant, both the chains and the flowers transformed into mist, gradually dissipating into the air.
She would never forget the appearance of those flowers; they were the very blossoms from the Spring Unfading Gem.
Bloodline shackles? Someone was trying to use a skill on her through her relatives?
It was a pity that it was blocked; she couldn’t discern what skill it was or gain any clues from it.
There were too many possibilities—Yuxu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, who had joined Wildfire, Yuxun Huan collaborating with Heifei and the Liang family, and even the possibility of something happening with Shen Yushi.
Yuxun Ge opened the chat group on her phone. The family group was filled with ordinary conversations. Yuxu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo were concerned about how she and Yuxun Huan were doing, and Yuxun Huan’s replies were also quite normal.
She chimed in with a few words, asking about Yuxu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, casually mentioning to Yuxun Huan that she could help him deal with Heifei anytime, and other sweet nothings.
Everyone seemed to be playing a role in a scripted game, holding onto their personas, saying what they were supposed to say, and pretending to be intimately close.
In that moment, she truly felt the weight of the word “shackles.”
