The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 229: Half-dead Enchantress

“I’m not bluffing you, right? Sister Xue!” Jiu Er called out loudly and leaped forward.

She plunged straight into Wen Xue’s arms, who was still confused just after waking up, and burrowed into her chest vigorously.

“En, it’s amazing.” Wen Xue nodded, speaking in a hoarse voice, “Thanks, Little Jiu Er.”

Although she said this, she dug out Jiu Er out of her lap and threw her aside.

She was Jiu Er’s cousin — the recently created character, Citalopram, who had accepted Jiu Er’s invitation code.

Wen Xue got up from the bed with one hand, put on her glasses, and untied the long ponytail behind her. She then walked to the vanity mirror, picked up the comb, and combed her hair slowly… taking this time to calm herself down.

What kind of illegal technology is this?

She shared the same train of thoughts with Longjing Tea.

When she had the option to quit, she chose to do it immediately. She wasn’t in a rush and felt it was better for her to consult Jiu Er first for more information.

If you’re of sound mind, how can you trust this contract entirely.jpg

She didn’t expect that she would pass out directly when she pressed her fingertip on the contract. Luckily, she was at Jiu Er’s house.

“Did that girl put me to bed?” Citalopram asked Jiu Er casually, “You don’t seem to have the strength to move me.”

She referred to Lin Yiyi, who stayed at Jiu Er’s house.

Jiu Er sat on the table with a smile and nodded with satisfaction, “Yup. No need to be polite with her, if you need any physical labour help then just talk to Sister Hyphen!” “

“She’s called Yiyi, not Hyphen…” Citalopram couldn’t help but retort, “Call her by her name correctly. You’re being rude. Speaking of her, Hyp… Where is Yiyi now?”

“She’s likely gone to the swimming pool downstairs.” Jiu Er tilted her head and replied with some uncertainty, “She has been learning how to swim for the past two days. She is still asking if I know any kickboxing coaches…”

“En, that’s great for her.” Citalopram nodded slowly and added, “You should exercise regularly as well, it would be even better for you to learn archery along with Yiyi.

“I know a pretty lady who is great with a bow. She is also a streamer who is currently residing in Australia. I can introduce her to you next time.”

“…Well, is hers big?” Jiu Er made an innocent voice and gestured slightly in the air.

“Okay.” Citalopram habitually flicked on Jiu Er’s forehead. She imitated a particular handsome male idol that she saw when she was a child but inadvertently developed a habit out of it.

Jiu Er kept playing around at her house every day. Citalopram needed to knock some sense into Jiu Er, but she was just too cute to be taught a lesson.

I should only flick my finger on her forehead 80 times a day. Hmm, I can beat some sense into her by sheer volume.

“Right,” Citalopram asked, “How should I invest my status points as the Pale Princess’s priest?

“I tend to put all my points into the main attribute, so I guess you should put everything on the Will attribute. That should have no problem, right? As for the future…?”

“Wait, what?”

Jiu Er held her forehead and froze for a moment.

So, it’s not just the swordsman, but you can even choose the [Priest] profession.

Also, what’s the Pale Princess?

“How many professions were available for you to choose?” Jiu Er asked curiously, “We only had [Swordsman] available at the time.”

“[Swordsman], [Lurker], [Hunter], [Wizard Apprentice], and [Priest]. Five professions in total.”

Citalopram replied, “For me, there isn’t much difference. I seldom play games, and all professions appear the same to me. I thought the last option was random, but I didn’t expect it to be the [Priest] profession.”

“…Wow.” Jiu Er sighed enviously, “That’s great for you. You have the greatest profession with both wizardry and priesthood overlapped. I want this too.”

Fortunately, Jiu Er wasn’t petty-minded and quickly calmed down.

Then, she asked, “What are the starting skills for your [Priest] profession? What kind of deity is the Pale Princess?”

“I’ll write it down for you. I have memorized the panel already anyway.” Citalopram sighed and put her comb down.

She picked up the pen and casually chatted with Jiu Er while writing down her attribute panel. “The Pale Princess seems to be the Deity of Death. I have also written down some of the rules and taboos of the Pale Church.”

Jiu Er was behind Citalopram, looking at her panel curiously.

[ID: Citalopram]

Half-dead Enchantress. Female. Level 5.

Health: 100%

Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 5, Constitution – , Perception 8, Will 10

Shared Experience: 0

Profession Overview:

Ghost (Ex): Pale Body LV1

Priest (Pale Lady, engravings 0): Ghost Touch

[Pale Body LV1: The Half-dead Enchantress resurrected by the Pale Princess looks the same as an ordinary person in appearance. They also need food, water, and sleep. However, regular exercise will not increase their physical attributes. They cannot recover after injury but it won’t worsen over time either. They are immune to disease and instant death effects, but they bear double the damage from divine arts. You must receive treatment to recover from injuries.]

[You may activate this ability at night to exit your soul from the body and change into a ghost form. However, you must return to your body within 1 hour. Otherwise, you will die immediately.]

[Ghost Touch: While you’re in physical form, you will passively absorb the target’s vitality and heal yourself when you’re in contact with any living being. When you’re in ghost form, direct contact allows you to absorb a large amount of vitality and make the opponent shudder or inflict them with fear. The skill duration of “Pale Body” can be refreshed when you gain experience in the period of this skill effect.]

“…Eh?!” Jiu Er was a little surprised at once.

Not only did she not encounter this powerful profession before, even the race was different!

In addition to this, she keenly noticed another thing.

Regular exercise will not increase their physical attributes..

That is to say… As humans, we can exercise to increase our attributes.

Jiu Er felt that the door to a new world had opened before her eyes.

“The Half-dead Enchantress?” Annan repeated.

In fact, he only attempted to summon the Venerated Skeleton.

After all, he wasn’t afraid of the gallery anymore. In the worst-case scenario, he could challenge and complete the Gallery dungeon once again before heading off to the Death Howl dungeon.

Unexpectedly, when Annan called out, the Venerated Skeleton came out directly.

Annan knew he didn’t have to be polite.

If I can’t get some information out of him right now, I won’t give up until I do.

“The people the Pale Princess resurrected are the Half-dead Enchantresses, and her priestesses are all Half-dead Enchantresses.”

The Venerated Skeleton echoed an old and low voice in Annan’s mind, “The Pale Princess is the Deity of Ghosts and Spirits. The ghost refers to the soul of the dead, and the spirit refers to the soul of the living.

“Being half-alive and undead defines a Half-dead Enchantress. She is neither the living nor the dead. Among the living, she is dead; among the dead, she is the living. Therefore, they don’t fall under the rules of any order and won’t fall in love with anyone, including themselves.

“The Pale Princess, therefore, is also called the Bondless Princess,” said the Venerated Skeleton slowly.

An evil thought entered Annan’s head.

In other words, they are leftover women [1].
