Chapter 322: Chapter 152 Little Mad King’s Invitation_2

"The curse of ’You Must Meet Strong Enemies’ greatly increases the danger in the wilderness.

In the past, Ye Boshou would enter the Forbidden Zone to find their target prey and commence the hunt.

For Li Yelai, it’s fine as long as he doesn’t use the Face.

After all, even without the Face, Li Yelai still has access to the Abyss Dragon Scale and the Red Thunder Dragon Claw.

But if he is forced to use the Face and utilize his full power...

Then... it’s likely that after finding his prey, a large group of prey will appear, and he will become the prey...

Therefore, teammates must be prepared to face the risk of sudden powerful enemies.

Yang Chen currently plans to have him join the Champion Guard Group, the Beiwei Group.

This is one of the strongest Ye Boshou teams, and all are Five Senses Spiritual Ability Users. They should be able to withstand it.

However, the Beiwei Group is currently on a secret mission and has not returned.

This gives Li Yelai quite a long period of free time.

"Given that, before your team returns, I would like to invite you to join an operation," said the Little Mad King, rarely showing a hint of a smile, "You can ignore my curse, and my strength is fearsome, so you don’t have to fear your ’You Must Meet Strong Enemies.’ We can perfectly work together to kill a damned person."

In theory, there should be no problems.

Li Yelai, with his extremely high curse resistance, is the only one who could be the teammate of the Little Mad King.

And the Little Mad King herself is a Captain Level powerhouse, among the captains, she is one of the strongest.

With her around, Li Yelai’s ’You Must Meet Strong Enemies’ becomes much safer.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yelai responded, "Where are we going? Who are we going to kill?"

"The location is within a city in the range of the Forbidden Heaven Realm. As for the target..." the Little Mad King said coldly, "it is Mei Wu, the traitor who betrayed the Giant City!"

"A human? Processor?" Li Yelai frowned and asked.

"Yes, she’s also a Ye Boshou, Mei Wu is her codename," the Little Mad King replied, "And in the Heavenly Kingdom, she is known as Angel Mei Wu."

Mei Wu.

Once a singer in the second Border City, she became a Spiritual Ability User and joined the officials.

Later, she became a Ye Boshou of the second Border City with Four Awakenings abilities and was given high hopes.

Her curse is to be loved; all beings who see her appearance or hear her voice will helplessly fall in love with her, and in the beginning, they subconsciously don’t want to hurt her, even those who are heartless are affected.

This also made her very popular in the second Border City.

"Being loved counts as a curse?" Li Yelai frowned deeply upon hearing this.

No wonder he was skeptical; after all, including the Little Mad King, Doll, his little sister, and many colleagues he knew, their curses more or less troubled them.

Starfire’s curse is an increased body temperature, sometimes reaching forty-three degrees during combat.

Shadow Stream’s curse is being easily overlooked; even buying tickets on a bus can be missed.

Captain Yang Chen’s curse is hearing the voices of the dead... It is said that he once suffered mental exhaustion.

But... how is being loved a curse? Isn’t being loved a good thing?"

"Every person tormented by a curse, fights tooth and nail to trade curses with another," said Little Mad King. "As an outsider, one cannot comprehend the pain of a curse... like your Calamity, which has tormented you for so long. But I truly wish my curse were the same as yours..."

"I understand," Li Yelai nodded. "Continue."

"Relying on this curse, she has won the favor of many people, even extraordinary creatures. Even enemies, because of the curse, subconsciously refrain from harming her, leading to slip-ups in their actions. This has made her actions incredibly successful. Of course, being loved to the extreme doesn’t end well. Many affected to the extreme end up fighting over her, wanting to monopolize her. Border City Number Two’s officials went through a lot of trouble for her."

"As long as the influence time is calculated correctly, it shouldn’t be a big issue. More harm than good?" mused Li Yelai.

If the curse didn’t have such severe negative effects, it could be quite beneficial.

She could even influence many extraordinary creatures through the curse and assemble a legion to fight for her.

"Two years ago, Mei Wu’s team entered the Heavenly Kingdom to hunt extraordinary creatures. They accidentally encountered a patrol within the Heavenly Kingdom. After a bloody battle, Mei Wu successfully influenced the patrol team. She couldn’t control them, but at least she made them give up the chase. In the end, Mei Wu betrayed humanity, joining the patrol to attack her own teammates. Two Ye Boshou died on the spot, one was captured, and one barely escaped."

"Sudden betrayal? Twisted?" asked Li Yelai.

"Not sure, it’s possible. Afterwards, she became a member of the Heavenly Kingdom and publicly executed that Ye Boshou. She was her closest sister, yet she executed her personally. Later, she led the Heavenly Kingdom’s army to attack and ambush Ye Boshou’s hidden strongholds, causing Border City Number Two’s Ye Boshou to suffer heavy losses."

"Twisted or not, this kind of person must die!"

Little Mad King continued, "Yes, and the officials, to kill this traitor, have sent out many teams. But due to the curse, none have succeeded. At that time, she had reached Four Awakenings and could project shadows in the Void Realm, directly influencing Spiritual Ability Users who came close to her in the Void Realm. Plus, being a Ye Boshou, she could anticipate and counter our actions, so assassination attempts repeatedly failed. The last news was that she achieved Fifth Sense and was given wings by the Heavenly Kingdom, becoming an ’Angel.’"

Li Yelai nodded; he understood the difficulty.

Fighting in the Forbidden Zone is dangerous enough, and the coerced love would create significant impediments to action.

Even with hatred gnashing behind your teeth, slip-ups could occur due to the curse.

If it were within Giant City, you could simply cleanse the area with Plasma Cannons and Hot Melt Cannons. Avoid getting close and kill her before being influenced.

But inside the Forbidden Zone’s cities, with many guards and Forbidden Zone Creatures around, the difficulty is extreme!

"Because of my curse resistance, I can ignore her love curse—I won’t fall in love with her. So, I can kill her!"

"Excellent. You are the best candidate. With my ability, I can take you into the city and create the best environment for striking," said Little Mad King. "But no need to hurry your answer, you can go back and think about it. After all, we’ll be entering the radiation range of the Forbidden Zone. The risk is greater... especially with me."

"Killing a traitor, what’s there to consider?" Li Yelai adjusted his trench coat collar. "When do we set out?"

"In one month," Little Mad King answered. "As for the specifics, the officials will equip us with a detailed plan and additional support."

"One month? That’s plenty of time!" Li Yelai nodded. "Within a month, I’ll have mastered Spiritual Ability Hardening and Elite Transformation."

In a month’s time, the mount reserved by Chu He should arrive.

By then, Li Yelai would have reached his peak battling capabilities.

Little Mad King also gave a slight nod and then his figure vanished in the next second.

...

Several hours later, news of Li Yelai becoming a Ye Boshou spread on the official forum. Familiar Processors left messages of congratulations.

But as the person concerned, Li Yelai did not go to the forum to brag with his colleagues; instead, he informed Captain Yang Chen about the plan.

After much thought, Yang Chen, looking at Li Yelai across from him in a black trench coat, said, "Actually, I can’t give you a proper suggestion. Because of the curse, I’m also doubting Little Mad King right now. So any response I give isn’t objective. But she’s not wrong—Mei Wu is indeed a human traitor and has caused significant losses to humanity. And you, unaffected by external curses, are indeed the best choice to kill her."

"But the danger still exists, and I doubt Little Mad King can keep you safe," Yang Chen sighed. "Although you won’t be going to the core area, with your peculiar curse, I’m worried the King of the Restricted Zone might just happen to stroll by you."

’That... could actually be a good thing,’ thought Li Yelai, exchanging one transaction for a King of Restricted Zone, should be worth it!
