When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

Bai Fu laughed.

"Call me 'sister' instead of 'master'; 'master' is too formal."

Though her body was exhausted, Bai Fu still mustered the spirit to walk over to Shadow Fu.

She circled around Shadow Fu, who appeared very restrained and somewhat embarrassed during the process.

From time to time, Bai Fu would reach out to touch or pinch Shadow Fu here and there, making exclamations.

"Quite a sturdy body."

"The talent is also very high, the note says you can advance to Catastrophe Level, wonder if your potential can be upgraded in the future."

"Great! I have also practiced the second profession of the Body Cultivation Sect, so from now on, you should follow that profession."

Bai Fu gave Shadow Fu the complete set of Advanced Knowledge from [Moon Dancer] to [Shadow Controller]. With her innate S+ level power, it was expected that Shadow Fu would quickly assimilate this knowledge and make it her own. Next, while on tasks, she should seek help from Andras, Nellis, and their ilk to gather Advanced Knowledge from the S+ level and Catastrophe Level Body Cultivation Sect.

Compared to the Spiritual Ability Sect, the Body Cultivation Sect's Advanced Knowledge was relatively easier to obtain.

For this reason, the majority of superpower users who roamed the Star Sea were martial artists or those with mutated superpowers.

Having received the materials, Shadow Fu hurriedly nodded, "Thank you, Sister, I will study hard."

"Good, you've just awakened, whether you watch the news to understand this world or study is up to you, I'm going to take a bath."

With a smile, Bai Fu walked to the en-suite bathroom of the guest room.

Enlightening Shadow Fu had drained her of 50% of her spiritual power, and she had also expended a good deal of energy studying the Apostle's Path. It was time for a hot bath to relax.

After Bai Fu left, Shadow Fu immediately found a chair to sit on and started to earnestly review the materials Bai Fu had given her.

Sister had placed great hopes in her; she certainly couldn't let Sister down.

Learn.

Learn to satisfaction!

...

While Bai Fu was enjoying her bath in high spirits, the Oath Lord, furious, sought out Yuan Yi.

"You're really shameless, old man, to poach Bai Fu right in front of so many people!"

Yuan Yi, who was rebuked, remained very calm, but that was always his attitude, polite to everyone, showing a berserker's demeanor only on very rare occasions when he truly got angry.

"Appreciating a junior's talent and helping them along when in good spirits, how can that be called poaching?"

The Oath Lord was not buying Yuan Yi's explanation, "Fine words, why didn't you help me like that back then?"

"Do you want me to be honest?"

"What honest truth?"

"In my view, your talent is not as good as Bai Fu's."

"..."

The Oath Lord took a deep breath, his flattened chest puffing up as a result.

"You're trying to drive a wedge between me and Bai Fu, I won't fall for that."

Yuan Yi was indifferent to the Oath Lord's reaction, "Think whatever you like."

The Oath Lord huffed sharply, her eyes gradually cooling, "Yuan Yi, the so-called peace summit you're holding isn't really about peace, is it? It doesn't seem to be about making deals with people from the Three Major Cosmic Civilizations in private either, what's your real purpose?"

Yuan Yi turned his head and looked out the window, "At first, I considered telling you the truth, but then I abandoned that idea."

What?

The Oath Lord was puzzled.

"Why?"

"You're someone who can't keep a secret. If I told you, it wouldn't be long before everyone else knew."

Damn it!

So you just look down on me, huh?

The Oath Lord's eyes widened.

She really wanted to retort, but she couldn't muster the energy to do so in this respect.

"So, did you tell Lupus?"

To the Oath Lord's surprise, Yuan Yi shook his head.

"Do you think Lupus can't keep a secret either?"

"His problem might be much worse than that."

After giving that ambiguous comment, Yuan Yi closed his mouth, not intending to discuss this further with the Oath Lord.

But would the Oath Lord let him off so easily? She came looking to pick a fight with Yuan Yi.

"You still haven't learned your lesson."

"Joking, I am no longer who I was," the Oath Lord sneered coldly.

Since the meeting had not yet started, Yuan Yi accepted the Oath Lord's challenge.

The two temporarily left Arcane Star and went to a remote place for a duel.

To be honest, Yuan Yi didn't take this duel to heart because the fight before had already shown that the Oath Lord was far inferior to him.

But as the fight truly began, he suddenly realized something was amiss.

"Your Qi Energy hasn't increased much, but your power..."

Yuan Yi's pupils constricted.

The Oath Lord burst into laughter, "I've said it before, I'm not who I was before!"

The explosive fists alternately struck in the midst of the Star Sea. Even the calm Yuan Yi now had to get serious. He felt threatened and at the same time, was baffled.

Several years had passed, and how had the Oath Lord suddenly become so "fine-tuned"? Every punch and kick of hers was crisp and precise, no superfluous movements, pleasing to the eye as if following a template.

In the end, Yuan Yi still won the duel, but it was not an easy victory.

The Oath Lord, who had lost, was in a great mood.

She had taken the right path!

All this she owed to those Undying People and Bai Fu, who had sent them to her.

This Old Man in front of her had undermined Bai Fu, and she couldn't let it slide. Once she got back, she would take good care of Bai Fu to avoid Silver Zhu complaining again that she had let a promising seedling slip away.

...

Bai Fu rested in the guest room for a day and a half.

During this time, apart from occasionally chatting with Will, a confidant of Nellis, to get to know people from various factions, she did nothing superfluous.

The more one does, the more mistakes one makes. She had already attracted enough trouble and didn't need to add more.

Two days later, the peace summit officially convened.

Just as Bai Fu had predicted, there wasn't a hint of peace at the summit; instead, it was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Yuan Yi proposed several so-called peace suggestions and around these proposals, people from various factions argued incessantly.

They were all reputable figures, unwilling to be outdone on the battlefield, and of course, the same applied to the negotiation table. Would they let their momentum weaken?

Even the envoys from the Three Major Cosmic Civilizations, with high status and power, occasionally chimed in to provoke their old adversaries.

Bai Fu, sitting in the corner, felt somewhat speechless.

A peace summit?

More like a fire-fanning convention!

These people wouldn't be able to reach a conclusion here and probably would fight even harder once they got back.

She needed to get busy.

This was fine, after all, without being busy, she'd feel awkward asking Nellis for Advanced Knowledge.

After arguing for two hours, everyone dispersed unhappily. The conference reconvened that evening, but the situation did not improve.

In the end, Yuan Yi had to step forward and declare the peace summit a failure.

Bai Fu stretched lazily.

"It wasn't a wasted trip."

During this peace summit, not only did she acquire Dominator Level Advanced Knowledge, but she also got to know the factions of the Tem Civilization thoroughly, and incidentally enjoyed a lot of juicy stories—a much more valuable experience than just staying in Lockheed.

Soon after the meeting ended, Ranie sought out Yuan Yi.

"Teacher, did you notice anything?"

Yuan Yi smiled, his eyes narrowing, "Lupus really does have an issue. Besides him, Lister, and that advisor beside Gustav seem somewhat problematic, but I can't be sure yet. They have a hint of an aura, but it's faint. All in all, this peace summit has achieved a very satisfactory result."

Ranie nodded, half understanding.

Teacher said it would take a few years to see the situation clearly. He just wondered how many years that would be.

"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back first."

"Go ahead."

Ranie took his leave, and before leaving Arcane Star, he made a point to greet Bai Fu.

Since Teacher valued Bai Fu so highly, he couldn't leave without any acknowledgment.

Bai Fu had arrived with the Oath Lord and, when returning, she also hitched a ride on a convenient spaceship.

After the spaceship reached the vicinity of the Tem Civilization, Bai Fu, accompanied by Shadow Fu, disembarked. She then borrowed a spaceship from Nellis, heading straight for Lockheed.

Up until this point, everything was normal.

However, upon entering the star system where Lockheed was located, an accident occurred.

"Lady Sister, the radar has detected an unknown signal, it seems to be heading straight for us."

Bai Fu's expression immediately darkened.

An ambush?

Was it because the likes of Calvin were harboring a grudge, or was it someone else?
