Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

"Avenging you is what I should do as the Dorm Owner." Xu Lang suddenly sighed and said, "I only just found out that the Snake Lord and you have a special bloodline. Talents like yours should be nurtured into Floor Leaders. I've been neglecting to look after you all along."

The sudden show of concern left Bai Ling somewhat bewildered and shaken.

So the Dorm Owner was actually such a gentle person—this was quite different from the rumors!

"Dorm Owner, you don't need to grieve. My brother can be revived."

If it weren't for the mission rules prohibiting her from leaking its content, she would have been unable to resist telling him the truth.

Her mother had taught her since childhood that making others worry and feel guilty on her behalf was a very bad thing.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine, and my brother will find peace too." Bai Ling instead comforted Xu Lang, though her eyes flickered with slight guilt.

Xu Lang suddenly turned serious. "For the sake of nurturing quality players in Mad King Building, I want to invite you to become a tenant of Demon King Castle after this Building War. I hope you won't refuse!"

Bai Ling was taken aback. She was about to nod but hesitated. "That might not be appropriate..."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. It's decided." Xu Lang finished speaking, then stood up and left. "I'm going back first. The Building War is about to start. Here are some supplies—make good use of them. Also, I'll arrange for two female players from the Neighborhood Committee to come over and help you get through this Building War."

...

Inside the bedroom.

Bai Ling stared blankly at the large pile of supplies in front of her.

Among them were an entire dormitory gate, a turret, healing items, equipment, clothing...

Her brother had told her that the outside world was full of bad people and that she must always be on guard, but clearly, the Dorm Owner wasn't one of them.

Memory rewound. That childhood fire had burned down the tribe, killing her parents and clansmen. At the same time, it seemed to still be burning now, scorching her eyes until tears streamed uncontrollably down her face, like swirling steam.

Xu Lang gave her a feeling she could lean on, a warmth identical to her brother's.

If the Dorm Owner and her brother had known each other, the two would definitely have become good friends.

Though the "life-saving benefactor" plot was cliché, it was indeed effective. Back when that bottle of Minor Holy Spring Water went down, Bai Ling felt as if she had been brought back from the dead.

Not only that, but Xu Lang had also avenged the Snake Lord, given her a mountain of supplies, and guaranteed her safety.

All the buffs were stacked.

Suddenly, Bai Ling felt a bit shy and wanted to curl up, hugging her legs.

Then she let out a startled scream.

"AHHHH! Where did my legs go?!"

After some frantic scrambling, she finally managed to turn her legs back.

This kind of power felt very novel to her, as if she had discovered an entirely new world.

...

[Bai Ling]

[Charm: 450 points]

Her base Charm was already 450 points. With a little polish, there was no telling what her ceiling would be.

Transcendent beings all had high Charm. After Cao Yaxuan and Sherry obtained Blood Contract Skills, their Charm points had both increased.

The Spirit Clan bloodline was nothing ordinary, so having such high Charm seemed only natural.

If Charm value were low, high-level Mysterious Domains wouldn't look favorably upon you either.

He had read a tome that contained some transcendent knowledge, stating that high Charm made it easier to be favored by Wicked Gods and transcendent beings.

Before returning to Demon King Castle, Xu Lang contacted two sharp female players from the Neighborhood Committee and sent them to look after Bai Ling—and also to keep watch.

"Xu Lang, you're finally back." Cao Yaxuan had been waiting in the room. The moment she saw Xu Lang enter, she immediately ran up to him.

"I still have some urgent matters. Don't bother me for now." Xu Lang waved his hand and hurried toward the Nightmare Bed.

This time, he had seized the initiative and had to arrange Mad King Building properly.

How to formulate the plan was critical, and he couldn't reveal it to Cao Yaxuan and the others, because doing so might tip off Mad King Building.

This was Xu Lang's second formal confrontation with Mad King Building.

The game between players and dormitory buildings was extremely complex and very dangerous. One misstep, and it was easy to lose everything.

After all, the dormitory building could lose countless times, but players could only lose once.

"Fine." Cao Yaxuan pouted, then went off to do her own thing.

After all this time of training, although she still occasionally acted spoiled in front of Xu Lang, her temperament had been tempered, and she wouldn't stir up trouble for no reason.

...

Simulation Dream.

Xu Lang didn't start the simulation right away. Instead, he quickly summarized a dozen tactical plans, then combined them and chose the most reliable one.

Nightmare Essence was running low. He didn't have many chances for trial and error.

Actually, he still wanted to save a bit of Nightmare Essence. After all, in the final round, the other three buildings would go all out, and he wanted to run another simulation then.

However, to deal with Mad King Building, he decided to use all the remaining Nightmare Essence to fully compile his information.

Classic strategy: stabilize the interior before attacking externally.

...

Simulation Dream.

Seventh Round of Building War.

Under Xu Lang's orders, Wu Huihui went to weave a sweet dream for Bai Ling.

Bai Ling's relationship with him was still too distant. After weighing his options, Xu Lang decided against simulating from Bai Ling's first-person perspective; that would be too costly.

At some point, Bai Ling woke up and tried to leave the dormitory.

Wu Huihui and the other two girls followed orders, refusing to let Bai Ling go.

Amid the quarrel, a golden giant claw reached out from the void, and with one Sweeping Attack, it killed all three girls—Wu Huihui included.

Bai Ling was stunned, frozen in place.

After a long moment, she burst into tears and rushed toward the door.

Seeing this, Xu Lang stepped in personally and slashed at Bai Ling with a single blade strike.

This strike was incredibly fast. Anyone with a Constitution lower than a thousand would barely have a chance to react.

Yet, the golden giant claw appeared again, shielding Bai Ling in its grasp.

*Clang~*

Purgatory's Master collided with the golden giant claw from across the distance, sending golden shockwaves scattering everywhere!

The golden giant claw was actually an item on the same level as Purgatory's Master—perhaps even higher in grade!

After all, Xu Lang had his Blade Technique skill bonus.

Then, Xu Lang launched an attack as fierce as a storm, but instead was pushed back by the golden giant claw.

This golden giant claw wasn't entirely controlled by Bai Ling; it possessed a certain degree of independent consciousness.

Seeing that it was Xu Lang, Bai Ling tried to call for a stop, but the golden giant claw paid no attention.

Just then, Xu Lang received a mission from Mad King Building, ordering him to head to the frontline and support the other players. The reward was especially generous.

Damn it!

Even at a time like this, they were still throwing out smokescreens!

Still, this was a good thing. It meant Mad King Building didn't know he had already seen through its evil, filthy, and despicable plan!

Xu Lang ignored everything, going all out to stop Bai Ling from leaving. Eventually, he simply pulled her into the Demon Box World.

Then, something absurd happened!

A crimson door appeared in front of Bai Ling!

On the other side of that crimson door, there was no need to guess—it was the Underground Palace.

"You dare say you didn't turn this on?!"

Xu Lang couldn't hold it together anymore.

If he tried to find a silver lining, there was some good news.

At least Mad King Building hadn't teleported Bai Ling away directly.

In the end, after exhausting every means, Xu Lang still failed to keep Bai Ling.

As for Agatha's monster form, Xu Lang didn't want to see it, so he directly ended the dream.
