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

She couldn't bring herself to do it, and given that her injuries hadn't fully healed, she was uncertain she could beat Bai Fu.

Gagging Bai Fu into cooperating wasn't working, and she couldn't force herself to do it, so what other methods were left to make Bai Fu spit it out?

Fei Ye was sweating bullets in her desperation. There was no time left to think it over. As she pondered, her gaze fell to her feet. Using her hands hadn't worked, but what about her feet?

After all, her feet were equipped with a magical attack effect.

With that thought in mind, she steeled herself, lifted her foot, and shoved it towards Bai Fu's mouth.

"Spit it out now!"

"???"

Bai Fu was utterly dumbfounded.

Julia, who was watching from the doorway, scratched her head. Do Void Battle Maidens have such peculiar tastes?

At the critical moment, Bai Fu quickly came to her senses, grabbed Fei Ye's foot, and with a gentle flick, Fei Ye tumbled down from atop her.

The tables had turned once again!

"Keep messing around, and I'll use my foot to shut your mouth for good," Bai Fu said fiercely.

Fei Ye, undeterred, retorted, "Me, messing around? I'm just trying to help you induce vomiting. It's you who's really causing chaos. Do you even realize what you're doing? That's Void Life you're dealing with. A slight mistake, and you'll turn into a Void Monster, never able to return!"

"Hurry up, lie down, and let me put my foot in. If you're repulsed by mine, then we can use your own or even Julia's."

"..."

Bai Fu was at a loss for words.

It was clear that Fei Ye was really a blockhead. She was fine under normal circumstances, but the moment she panicked, her foolishness simply couldn't be hidden.

No wonder she couldn't keep anyone around her. With her dim-witted nature, refusing to fight or compete, and her undue concern for her followers due to past experiences, anyone normal who followed her for any length of time would sense they were on a hopeless path.

Coincidentally, Bai Fu was that abnormal person!

As an NPC with a player's panel, what were considered faults in others were seen as pure advantages to her.

If Fei Ye had been fond of competing, how could Bai Fu then wave Fei Ye's banner to boost her own Reputation?

If Fei Ye had been a bit smarter and less naive, how could Bai Fu, the crafty "Traitor," easily manipulate her?

Bai Fu released Fei Ye's foot, "Enough, no matter how you struggle now, it's useless. I've already digested the Void Blood I absorbed from you."

Fei Ye stared blankly at Bai Fu, "Really?"

"Would I lie to you?" Bai Fu quipped with a curl of her lip.

Fei Ye was spacey for a moment, then focused on her own foot. "Could it be your illusion? Why don't you try my method?"

Bai Fu rolled her eyes. "It's no use trying. Can't you smell it yourself? There's absolutely no odor."

Fei Ye bowed her head to sniff, and indeed there was none!

But, but...

She couldn't admit it. Facing this situation, she had no idea what to do next. She could only sit there dumbly, feeling as though Bai Fu had heartlessly abandoned her.

It was Julia who broke the silence. "Are you two finished? If you're not, you can continue. I'll wait for you to finish before coming over. If you need my help standing by, that's fine too."

Bai Fu's eyelid twitched, worried Julia would continue spouting jargon, she quickly said, "Let's talk business."

Julia relayed, "When Night Mother Cecilia appeared, Herbert sent out a distress signal to the Star Contract. Just now, Le Mans, the Combat Department Director of the Initial Gate Star System Group, arrived. He saw that Fei Ye and you weren't there, so he sent me to find you."

So it was the boss's boss who had come.

Just as Bai Fu was about to speak, she heard a knock at the door. Checking the monitor, she saw that standing outside was Xia Shi.

"Come in."

She had given Julia, Xia Shi, and An Ya access permissions, but Xia Shi was still Xia Shi, not bursting in directly like Julia.

Upon Bai Fu's affirmative, Xia Shi entered the room, and her gaze fell upon the bed.

Bai Fu and Fei Ye were disheveled, Fei Ye's stocking was torn, and there were bite marks on Fei Ye's shoulder...

"Is this... a bad time?"

The corner of Bai Fu's mouth twitched.

She felt that if she procrastinated any further, An Ya would soon arrive too. With An Ya's personality, she would probably jump right into the fray.

"Let's start with the urgent matters first; I'll explain this situation to you later."

Xia Shi nodded uneasily, expressing her purpose.

It turned out that since Julia hadn't returned for a while, Le Mans was worried something had happened to Fei Ye, so he asked Xia Shi to check on the situation.

Bai Fu turned to Fei Ye, "Do you want to meet with him?"

Fei Ye nodded helplessly. With things being as they were, she had to accept the reality that Bai Fu had been infected with Void Blood.

She was angry, self-reproaching, yet felt a faint sense of relief.

Starting today, she was no longer alone; she had Bai Fu.

Fei Ye grabbed Bai Fu's hand and said solemnly, "I won't let you die before me."

Huh?

Xia Shi's pupils dilated sharply.

She glanced between Bai Fu and Fei Ye, then turned to look at Julia.

Wait, Julia, you're seeing this and not reacting at all?

Julia was very composed.

It didn't matter, she might not be the irreplaceable one in Bai Fu's life, but she was certainly the one Bai Fu needed the most right now.

After Fei Ye changed into fresh clothes, Bai Fu led everyone out of the room to find Le Mans waiting in the hall.

From a distance, Bai Fu could feel a massive Life Force, as if she were seeing a walking flame. She quickly tossed Spiritual Vision towards Le Mans, looking like a long-necked kobold, but the data that came back was all question marks.
