Chapter 136: The Cunning Yulia, Bai Fu Becomes the Center of the World
The moment Yulia leaned in, Bai Fu knew she was about to be siphoned.
That sudden sensation of pressure made a phrase uncontrollably pop into her mind——
What the hell!
She had known for a long time that Yulia was rather well-endowed, but she hadn't expected that Yulia had actually been holding back.
What did this woman eat to grow up like this, is she cheating?
Bai Fu had no time to ponder this question.
Just seconds after the contact, she realized her psionic value began rising along with the refreshing energy transmitted from Yulia.
“+10”, “+10”……
It had to be said, the speed of this mana recharge was far slower than the last time outside the Truth Society's main base.
Whether it was because Yulia herself was weak, nearly drained after helping her recharge once already, or because Yulia was deliberately controlling the rate of psionic transfer—
Bai Fu didn’t know, nor could she ask. She could only calm her mind and feel the process of this special mana recharge.
It was a process of tugging and entangling. Only after two full minutes did the increase in her psionic value finally stop.
Yulia tilted her head back slightly. Compared to earlier, her complexion was even paler, with only a faint shimmer of moisture in her cheeks and eyes.
“Fully recharged?”
“It even exceeded a little.”
“How come it’s so fast?” Yulia’s eyes couldn’t hide the surprise.
Bai Fu rolled her eyes. “I told you I was basically fine already, but you insisted. Alright, let go now. If you keep tugging, you're going to bruise me.”
“I can't let go. My whole body feels weak, even my legs are sore. If I don’t hold onto you, I won’t be able to stand. Let me rest a bit, doing this kind of thing is exhausting.”
As if to prove she wasn’t lying, Yulia simply leaned against Bai Fu.
Bai Fu: “……”
Is it possible that there are plenty of places on me to hold onto—why are you grabbing my butt?
“And one more thing, was it really necessary to involve tongue action when transferring psionic energy?”
“You were the one who started it.”
“?”
Bai Fu doubted her memory was correct.
No, how did it end up being me who made the first move? Wasn’t it you?
What the hell? She just bit back!
Yulia said weakly, “Stop overthinking. I’m the doctor, you’re the patient. This is rehabilitation therapy. That’s all it is.”
Bai Fu looked seriously at Yulia. “This was my first time.”
“Mine too,” Yulia replied coldly.
Bai Fu said, “Isn’t it also possible to transfer psionic energy through blood?”
“I’m afraid of pain. I don’t want to prick my finger again. The pain reminds me of being trapped in the lab, having my psionic energy extracted. Earlier, it was an emergency, so I let you drink my blood. Now that it’s not so urgent, we can use a simpler method.” Yulia’s voice suddenly turned low.
Bai Fu was stunned for a moment.
Why did it feel like bloodsucking would be the simpler method? But Yulia’s reasoning did make some sense, so she silently gave Yulia an evaluation—
Cunning woman!
Fortunately, she had the upper hand. At her young age, she had already studied countless romance anime and novels. Otherwise, she would’ve been completely manipulated by this crafty Yulia.
“If you want to sleep, wait until we get in the car. I’ll help you put on your shoes first.”
Bai Fu gently placed Yulia back on the chair, then picked up the shoe that had been kicked away.
She gently held Yulia’s heel, slipping the shoe on while lost in thought.
If possible, she hoped Yulia could eventually join the Garden of Silence like Old Nissen and become her assistant.
Yulia had top-tier strength even across all of Origin Star, thanks to the dormant Child of True Spirit template on her head. Her talent was surely first-rate, and her importance in the game’s original plotline was extremely high. If she were willing to join the Garden of Silence...
“Then my Custom Main Storyline Plan will go much more smoothly.”
If Yulia didn’t want to join the Garden of Silence, then she just didn’t. It’s not like she could lock her up.
Bai Fu wasn’t some brute. She didn’t like to use force unless absolutely necessary.
“I’ll ask her again when we get back to Bai Fu Town. Whether or not she joins the Garden of Silence, her value definitely needs to keep being squeezed dry.”
The regional main storyline of Goli Desert, 【Elegy of the Watchers】, had six branches in total. Bai Fu had already completed three of them. The remaining three were 【Guardian of Order】, 【Ideal State】, and 【Yulia’s Secret】.
The first two could be settled anytime, while 【Yulia’s Secret】 required her to uncover the source of Yulia’s power. She had been craving this quest for a long time, especially after completing the branch that rescued Yulia—now she looked forward to the reward even more.
Would the game give her another chance to squeeze Yulia?
Now she had no choice but to look forward to it!
Just then, Yulia’s voice suddenly rang by Bai Fu’s ear.
“Why do you keep staring at my feet? Is there something wrong with them?”
Nonsense. Who’s staring at your feet? I was clearly looking at the quest panel!
Bai Fu quickly finished putting Yulia’s shoes on and carried her out of the room. She needed to find a vehicle to transport all the data Hei Fu had collected.
When she got back to the surface, she suddenly saw a familiar face.
“Fu-fu!”
From the driver’s seat of a military truck, Tai’er Zhenren stuck his head out, waving enthusiastically.
Bai Fu walked over and saw that it wasn’t just Tai’er Zhenren in the vehicle—there were other players from the Truth Society as well.
“What are you all doing here?”
Tai’er Zhenren quickly explained the entire story, including how he and Silverwing Assassin had teamed up to blow up the main power distribution room in Zone A of the base.
Bai Fu had a sudden realization. “So that blackout that plunged the base into darkness was your doing. Thank you so much!”
Amazing!
Tai’er Zhenren and the others’ actions had thrown the already panicking Truth Society base into even greater chaos, buying her valuable time. If she’d had to blow up the power room herself, there was a good chance something might’ve gone wrong on the way.
All that favorability grinding really paid off!
Bai Fu’s eyes lit up.
She realized—these were all perfect promotional examples!
In fact, during the last raid on the Gene Primordials’ Marine Biology Research Institute, over a hundred players had already pledged allegiance. But not wanting to draw the Gene Primordials’ attention, she and those players had kept quiet about it.
Now that she no longer needed to worry, it was the perfect chance to take advantage of this opportunity—to promote her charm as the Succubus Queen, and to show other players how much benefit they could gain by sincerely working for her, giving the Garden of Silence another wave of advertisement.
Next, Bai Fu planned to attack the Gene Primordials. The Gene Primordials didn’t have a good attitude toward players, yet there was still a group of players who joined them for various reasons.
She hoped to use Tai’er Zhenren and the others as promotional examples to captivate players from the Gene Primordials.
What are you all hesitating for?
I’ve already charged in, hurry up and surrender like Tai’er Zhenren and the others!
"Can’t say for sure if I can get them all to surrender, but this move is definitely going to be super effective."
Players didn’t come to suffer in a game—if they saw others making a fortune by becoming insiders, even if they didn’t imitate it, they would certainly be envious.
“It’s great that you’re all okay. I’m heading back to Goli Desert now. If you’re interested, you can come with me.”
“Interested, of course we’re interested.”
Tai’er Zhenren nodded enthusiastically, and the other players eagerly followed suit. This was exactly the line they had been waiting for.
They were so touched. Starting today, they were also part of Fu Sect. They could enjoy the perks like other Fu Sect players, feast like kings, and when they were down, they could watch Bai Fu to cheer up.
Bai Fu said, “You should be able to see, I don’t have much on me right now. The rewards will have to wait until we get back to Goli Desert.”
“No worries, Fu-fu, there’s no rush.”
Though they said that, Tai’er Zhenren and the others had long been looking forward to what rewards they might receive.
Bai Fu had prepared a grand gift for the players who made major contributions in the operation against the Truth Society.
Money?
Such a vulgar thing—how could it sully the players’ sincere hearts for contributing to the Garden of Silence? What she had prepared were status and honor, a new step toward self-realization, and a boost toward chasing legends!
In plain terms, she was going to customize a batch of exclusive·limited·commemorative Eye of Heaven Medals and Garden of Silence exclusive uniforms for them, and also assign a few easy-to-complete exclusive quests to help them level up.
Don’t underestimate the limited medals. Bai Fu planned to grant special privileges with them—such as allowing holders to go on missions with her, and even leave Origin Star early to enter space.
As for the exclusive uniforms for the Garden of Silence, that had long been in her plans.
Since she wanted to properly manage the Garden of Silence, uniforms were a must.
Fake uniform temptation: Bai Fu in a catgirl costume!
Real uniform temptation: status-symbol uniforms in the Garden of Silence!
……
After parting ways with Tai’er Zhenren and the others for now, Bai Fu found a nearby undamaged vehicle and began loading the items Hei Fu had collected onto it.
While she was busy, Coleman and the others, under orders from the Human Alliance, had already come in to seal the base.
Bai Fu wasn’t interested in what remained in the base. After loading everything onto the vehicle, she went to say goodbye to Coleman and his people.
Coleman said, “I’m under orders, so I won’t be seeing you off.”
His mission from above was to seal off the Truth Society main base. As for Bai Fu, she was free to go.
The Human Alliance feared Bai Fu. Precisely because of that fear, they didn’t dare to make a move against her. Even though Bai Fu might currently be severely injured, if they failed to take her down, none of them would sleep well afterward.
Bai Fu gave her thanks and set off for Goli Desert with Yulia and the players.
On the road back, she contacted Old Nissen and Gao Yuan in advance, told them what had happened, and had them start preparing the medals and uniforms.
Four hours later, near the northern Pollution Zone of the Old Republic, a convoy blocked Bai Fu’s way.
From a distance, she could already see the flag hanging from the vehicles—it was the national flag of the Gene Primordials.
“Doesn’t look like they come in peace.”
After successfully eliminating the Truth Society President, Bai Fu was concerned that someone might try to backstab her out of fear of her strength. For this reason, she had specifically stayed at the Truth Society’s main base to reinforce herself.
With her current strength, she had nothing to fear from the army in front of her. However, beside her was a burden so weak her legs would tremble just from standing. If a fight could be avoided, it was better not to start one.
“What do you want?”
Bai Fu stopped the car and poked her head out the window.
The convoy’s commander froze. His gaze was drawn to Bai Fu’s right hand resting on the window edge.
From the fingertips of her fair hand, translucent white psionic airflow danced—like the flame of a candle, small, but within him, it struck like a hammer, sending shockwaves through his heart.
This wasn’t something an ordinary Psionic Prayer-user could achieve. Sure enough, Bai Fu, just as the intel from the Human Alliance indicated, had broken through a certain limit and gained power even more terrifying than the Truth Society President.
He had orders from above to kill Bai Fu, supposedly in a weakened state after the battle with the Truth Society President. But however he looked at her, she didn’t seem weakened in the slightest.
Since when did “weakened” look this radiant and healthy?
Anyone who didn’t know better would think Bai Fu had just taken some powerful tonic.
The commander quickly said, “Nothing really, I’m here to thank you. If not for you, dealing with the Truth Society wouldn’t have been so easy.”
“I see,” Bai Fu smiled. “I thought you were here to ambush me. I was all set to go on a killing spree.”
The commander broke out in a cold sweat under Bai Fu’s gaze. “How could that be? You’re a hero of Origin Star. Once word of what happened here spreads, you’ll become a national idol. Then...”
As he spoke, he began to ramble, mentally cursing those old fogies in the council.
Damn it, a bunch of senile fools, sitting in their offices, flapping their gums about killing Bai Fu. Did they think Bai Fu was easy to kill? They should meet her face to face and experience her gaze firsthand.
“You’re in a hurry to return, right? Then I won’t keep you. Everyone, back away. Make way for our hero.”
At his command, the convoy vehicles rolled to the sides.
Bai Fu said no more. She gently pressed the gas pedal, leading the players’ vehicle through the middle of the convoy. Only after she and the players disappeared into the Pollution Zone did the Gene Primordials' agents and soldiers dare to breathe freely again.
“Mom, I survived!”
“Let me text my girlfriend that I’m safe. I told her before this mission that I’d marry her when I got back.”
“Do you think some people up top are brain-dead? Everything was going fine with Bai Fu, and they suddenly decided to backstab her. Now look—she’s so strong even the Truth Society President couldn’t beat her.”
“Shh, you can’t say something that truthful out loud.”
As the Gene Primordials whispered among themselves, Bai Fu was also speaking to Yulia in the passenger seat.
“They were clearly after you. There was no need for you to let them off the hook for my sake.”
Bai Fu turned the steering wheel. “It’s not entirely for your sake. My next target is the Gene Primordials, but I still have a few preparations to make before acting. So if I can delay tearing things apart, I will.”
Not entirely—so it was still partly for her?
Yulia said, “Thank you for saving me. I’ll repay you.”
Bai Fu waved her hand. “We can talk about that later. Just get some sleep for now. When you wake up, we should already be back at Goli Desert. Old Nissen and your friends are all waiting for you.”
Yulia nodded and closed her eyes.
She couldn’t quite figure out what Bai Fu really thought of her. It seemed like Bai Fu had deep designs on her, but on closer look, it didn’t seem that way at all. She couldn’t tell if she was overthinking or if Bai Fu simply liked to keep things ambiguous.
She’d just have to test it out slowly once they returned to Goli Desert.
In the meantime, she could gradually get closer to Bai Fu and study her.
Even though she had successfully escaped from the Truth Society, Yulia was still intensely curious about Bai Fu.
How did Bai Fu break free from her control? How did she grow so rapidly?
Though she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she was certain Bai Fu’s body must be extraordinary. Otherwise, such rapid development would be impossible. Just the thought that she might get to study Bai Fu in depth excited her.
Life was unpredictable.
Back then, she had wanted to capture Bai Fu and study her to aid in her own escape. Who would’ve thought Bai Fu would end up becoming her savior?
Yulia silently shook her head.
What a shame. She should’ve taken the chance to pluck a few strands of Bai Fu’s hair, or maybe some jio skin or hand skin while recharging her mana earlier—to use as research material.
Would that be considered perverted?
It shouldn’t be. That’s just a small hobby of a doctor. After all, medical research requires collecting hair and cells.
Inhaling the faint fragrance drifting from her left, for the first time in years, Yulia slipped into deep sleep.
……
The news of the Truth Society President’s death spread across the land in just a few short hours.
Civilians in major settlements, scavengers and wanderers in smaller camps, bandits darting through the wilderness, assassins and mercenaries skulking in the shadows—all of them received the news.
Everyone speculated on how the Truth Society had collapsed so suddenly. Then, some authoritative news outlets revealed key intel on the downfall of the Truth Society. All of it pointed to one name—
Bai Fu!
【Who is Bai Fu? Come explore her past with us】
【Nemesis of the Truth Society, the Pure White Hero】
【Master of the Situation·Protagonist of the Era: Bai Fu】
【Beauty, intellect, and strength—she is Bai Fu!】
A slew of exaggerated titles was pinned on Bai Fu by the news outlets. Under their promotion, Bai Fu suddenly became the center of the storm. While she herself was still casually driving, the discussions about her among others were growing more and more intense.
This was legend!
This was how much discussion a legend deserved!
The wave of discussion among Origin Star’s citizens soon swept into the player base. Many Garden of Silence players were still following Su Li to hunt down fleeing members of the Truth Society when they suddenly heard that Bai Fu had already stormed the Truth Society Main Base and even killed the Truth Society President.
【Whoa, Fu-fu is that fierce?】
【How dare you doubt Fu-fu’s strength—you’re disloyal!】
【Did you see the news? A living legend, the protagonist of the era! Rejoice, leap with joy! These NPCs themselves recognize Fu-fu as the protagonist of Origin Star!】
【Damn, Digging‑Treasure really is the best. She saw from the start that Fu-fu wasn’t ordinary】
【A triple like for Digging‑Treasure. If she hadn’t kept making videos about Fu-fu, I wouldn’t have gone to Goli Desert early and joined the Garden of Silence】
The Garden of Silence players were overjoyed.
What does it feel like to cling to the thigh of the planetary protagonist?
Five stars. Must give five stars to these juicy thighs that look good even with stocking marks!
Players from other factions and planets were green with envy. Please, stop showing off. Keep flexing and we’re reporting Bai Fu for cheating!
【Where’s the protagonist of our planet?】
【Damn it, why wasn’t it me fighting Fu-fu at that Truth Society base? I could’ve surrendered immediately】
However, some players noticed a problem.
While Bai Fu’s performance in this main quest was absolutely dazzling—so bright it practically blinded everyone—if she shined this much, wouldn’t the main quest be ending soon? And if the main quest ended, what would players do next?
Do side quests? But side quest rewards probably wouldn’t compare to main quests.
【See, you just don’t understand. This proves that wiping out the Truth Society wasn’t the final main storyline of Origin Star. Trust in Fu-fu, okay? With the Pure White Hero Bai Fu here, we can’t go wrong!】
Digging‑Treasure jumped in at the right moment, debating fiercely, and declared that if she was wrong, she’d do a headstand hair wash performance.
Her statement reassured many players, though a portion still felt uneasy.
What if there really weren’t any more main quests?
While their current level was obviously higher than regular players on other planets, if they had no new main quests, they might eventually fall behind.
So young, truly too young!
Bored, Bai Fu scrolled through the community and couldn’t help but laugh at these posts.
The Truth Society? Just a warm-up. Next, she was going to attack the Gene Primordials. The Gene Primordials had extraterrestrial lifeforms! Wouldn’t those quest rewards be higher than raiding the Truth Society?
The attack on the Truth Society had basically been a solo show. But the attack on the Gene Primordials would be different.
Bai Fu planned to lead with the players, sweeping through the enemy with overwhelming force, leaving the Gene Primordials no room to fight back. The players would have ample opportunities to shine then.
And if, during the next enhancement, she was officially acknowledged as the true protagonist of Origin Star, and her Origin Star Reconstruction Project became the new main storyline—then everything would become even smoother.
Just how many branches would a grand main storyline like rebuilding Origin Star have?
“Don’t complain later that the main quests are too much work and make you want to puke.”
Bai Fu Town.
Bai Fu jumped out of the car with Yulia in her arms. Breathing in the familiar dry air, she felt a deep sense of calm and comfort.
“Though I’ve seen this scene before through the doll’s perspective, seeing it with my own eyes still feels like a dream.”
Yulia’s lips parted slightly, emotions surging through her.
She was even a bit afraid to step on the ground, wanting Bai Fu to hold her just a little longer—lest the solid feel beneath her feet snap her out of the dream.
“This is only the beginning. I’ll continue to expand this town and use it as the center to gradually push my reconstruction plan outward!” Bai Fu didn’t hesitate to share her thoughts with Yulia.
Yulia neither agreed nor disagreed. She simply let Bai Fu hold her hand as they walked toward Bai Fu Town.
At that moment, a group of people suddenly burst out from the town. Leading them were Old Nissen, Sean, and others.
They cheered loudly—cheering Bai Fu’s name, cheering Yulia’s name.
“Bai Fu is back!”
“Fu! Fu! Fu!”
“Welcome home!”
The welcome ceremony for the Pure White Hero was grander than anything Bai Fu Town had ever seen.
