Whether or not a boy’s urine would be of any use against this clearly unscientific existence of the Western world, it wasn’t as if the intense battle situation right now gave a person time to prepare, unless you were ready to wet your pants.
With Otey delaying things, the wounds on Madam Bella’s body had completely healed, but the blood-coloured mist which enveloped her body didn’t dissipate and attacked the players again.
This time, Madam Bella was clearly much faster, and her attacks were also stronger.
Wang Ke rushed forward and the blood-coloured sword slashed fiercely at her arm, but it was stopped by the blood-coloured mist which covered her body. It only left a shallow scratch on her skin, and disappeared without a trace in one breath.
After that, regardless of whether it was the blood-coloured sword, Luo’s claws, or Xiao Lan’s dagger, they barely left any traces on her body.
How were they supposed to beat her?
It seemed that physical attacks were no longer effective in this situation, and there clearly wasn’t anyone among them who had magical attributes.
At that moment, Wang Taidi poked his head out from his hiding place and swiftly hurled something at Madam Bella, before speedily retreating to continue laying low.
Xiao Lan stared. It was actually — a glass coke bottle.
Did this thing really contain a boy’s urine?
But the colour wasn’t right ba?
The glass coke bottle flew at Madam Bella’s head, and she raised a hand to smash the bottle to pieces. When the liquid in the bottle splattered onto the blood-coloured mist over Madam Bella’s body, it unexpectedly let out a sharp and corrosive sizzle.
A moment later, a patch of the blood mist on Madam Bella’s body corroded and collapsed. Some bits even fell on her, burning her shoulder a charred black.
The thing in the bottle was unexpectedly this formidable!
Luo seized that moment to leap forward and claw fiercely at the area unprotected by the blood mist, tearing out a large piece of flesh. This time, the injury was clearly healing at a slower rate.
Xiao Lan shouted at Wang Taidi, “Another bottle!”
Wang Taidi’s short curls cautiously stuck out. “There’s nothing else… Do you think this is a farmer’s mountain spring?! This is Holy Grail water. I only have one bottle, and it was something my ge got a hold of in an advanced game.”
After that, he went back to hiding with practised ease, well-versed in the principle ‘be careful if you can be careful’.
Taking advantage of her weakness, the players attacked the area on Madam Bella which wasn’t protected by the blood mist, and in a short while, left several wounds on her.
Madam Bella immediately started to slow down.
The players exchanged meaningful looks, then rushed toward the basement.
A pitch-black shadow that wasn’t visible to the rest appeared in Luo’s hand. He snapped his fingers lightly and it melded with Madam Bella’s shadow, stopping her movements for a split second.
“Thanks.” Seeing Luo’s action, Wang Ke gave him a nod.
He seized the moment to run to Wang Taidi’s hiding place and throw his silly little brother over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes before making a mad dash for it.
Wang Taidi immediately felt nauseated. “Ugh… Ge, I think last night’s dinner is going to come out.”
Wang Ke didn’t slow down at all even as he raised his voice. “You dare?!”
In his awkward position, Wang Taidi flung out a card.
【Title: King of the chicken farm】
【Ability: Summon a flock of chickens to attack the opponent】
【Description: Although it’s king, that’s only limited to the chicken farm. What else do you want?】
When the card flew through the air, it turned into a flock of rowdy chickens which frantically hopped up and down, their fluttering feathers and cries blocking Madam Bella’s line of sight.
According to eastern folklore, a chicken’s cry, especially a rooster’s, had a restraining effect on monsters.
Perhaps there really was some truth to it, as Madam Bella slowed down once again.
The players hurried to disappear from Madam Bella’s sight.

“Gjwc la! Tbe ibkis tewjcr!
“Jjc’a sbe pera byfvlfcais yf boofglcur?!”
The players rolled their eyes in their hearts: Who wants to be your offering ah.

The transportation array which had been unused for many years finally appeared in front of them.
The players then placed Edmund’s necklace in a recess and gently turned it.
With a soft clunk, the transportation array glowed with a faint light as it slowly started up like an old computer, lighting up bit by bit.
“This…” Wang Taidi scratched his head.
Xiao Lan became aware of a serious issue. “It seems that Edmund didn’t say how long it would take for the transportation array to start up?”
This sudden misfortune stupefied the players. “…”
Could it be that something like a teleportation array wasn’t something you could stand on and leave, just like that?
Why wasn’t this following the script ah?!!
Could this be the reason why Edmund couldn’t escape? Xiao Lan couldn’t help but wonder.
Under the players’ fervent gazes, the old transportation array continued to boot up at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. It didn’t seem like there was any hope that it would be completed soon.
It would even pause from time to time, making them worry that this elder would suddenly quit and stop working.
What sort of annoying game was this?!
“Ka —” Xiao Lan caught the soft sound of something breaking.
He turned and looked around the basement, but didn’t find anything suspicious; he almost wondered if he was thinking too much.
At that moment, Luo raised his head to look at the ceiling and said quietly, “The ceiling is moving.”
As soon as he said that, the sound of cracking became even more distinct and dust began to fall from the ceiling. The situation then became even more intense as the bricks in the ceiling seemed to fly upwards as if they were being pulled by some inexorable force.
Unexpectedly, the whole thing was lifted off!
Only when the ceiling was lifted off did they realise that the entire manor was practically being torn apart at this moment. When they raised their heads, they could faintly see the sky outside.
To find them, she actually tore down the entire manor!
She was simply being too much of a wastrel like this!
Madam Bella’s massive body instantly appeared above the basement as she looked down at them.
Perhaps this scene evoked a deeply hidden memory in that body at that moment. The redness in her eyes unexpectedly started to recede slowly, and Madam Bella said to the players in a young, girlish tone, “You guys also want to leave big sister like Edmund gege?”
“Annie?” Xiao Lan guessed.
“It’s Annie.” Madam Bella nodded.
Wang Taidi tried to con this little friend. “Annie, why don’t we play a game? You hide, and we’ll come find you.”
Annie shook her head. “No. Annie is already very happy to be able to be with big sister. Annie doesn’t need you.”
Truly a firm sis-con.
Madam Bella opened her mouth again, and this time, it was her original tone. “Apologies, everyone. The sacrificial offering can begin immediately.”
Wang Taidi didn’t give up. “Bella, you don’t want to be like this either, right? We know that you didn’t want to do this in the first place, and that it was Otey who led you astray.”
Madam Bella laughed. “Hehe, no, this is my choice. There are only two roads in front of me: Die as a monster, or live as a monster. As a monster, at least I still have Annie.”
With that, Bella’s consciousness disappeared before the players could speak again, and the scarlet eyes appeared once more.
Otey reoccupied this body. “No more nonsense. Now, it’s time to enjoy your end.”
The injuries which the players had left on her body had mostly recovered. Madam Bella leapt into the basement and attacked the players once more.
The swords condensed from the blood mist danced in the air as they attacked the players’ fatal points nonstop.
As Xiao Lan dodged Madam Bella’s attack, he observed the transportation array. It had turned to the last segment and should be done if they could hold on for another five minutes.
He recalled the Holy Grail water; since it was the Holy Grail, that meant it was divine, right? Whether Otey was a demon or an evil god, in any case, it should be fine as long as it was something divine.
As he dodged, Xiao Lan activated his skill:
【Name: Poverty is unable to restrict my imagination】
【Ability: Divine attack】
【Remaining time: 00:04:59】
An almost invisible, light gold halo instantly appeared around Xiao Lan’s body.
He tried covering the【This is a dagger covered in highly toxic poison】with divine force, and the surface of the dagger was gradually covered with a faint gold colour. Unexpectedly, he succeeded!
Xiao Lan tried slashing at one of the blood-coloured swords attacking him.
Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the blood-coloured sword was unexpectedly cut off so easily. The severed part fell in the air and reverted back to the blood-coloured mist which instantly disappeared.
The time to counterattack had come!
Xiao Lan stopped dodging and rushed straight at Madam Bella.
Madam Bella also focused her attention on this strange fellow.
The numerous blades condensed by the blood mist shot towards him head-on. Xiao Lan didn’t panic at all, and the dagger’s light gold colour streaked through the air. The blood-coloured swords were defeated one after another under the blade and no longer possessed their previous might.
Xiao Lan had already reached Madam Bella by then, and with a twist of his blade, he stabbed her arm which she wasn’t able to pull back in time, leaving a burnt black wound so deep that the bone was visible. The burn around the injury continued to spread as it contended with her original healing factor.
Everyone was delighted by this turn of events.
They started to restrict Madam Bella’s movements, creating more chances for Xiao Lan to attack.
Perhaps it was because the dagger was wrapped in the skill’s power so that its blade wasn’t actually touching the other party, but no poison was triggered this time. At the moment, however, the force of the divine attack was clearly more useful than any poison.
Xiao Lan simply put away his dagger and directly threw a ruthless punch at Madam Bella’s face.
This fist scattered the blood mist and a charred black imprint appeared on her face. Madam Bella spat out a mouthful of pitch-black blood.
Xiao Lan pushed forward on the offence. Making full use of the duration of his skill, he threw consecutive punches at Madam Bella and beat up Otey’s phantom which enshrouded her until it was on the verge of collapse, revealing a massive cavity.
Half her body was already covered in charred marks, like a puppet that had been set on fire.
With one last attack, Madam Bella’s humongous figure fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Xiao Lan raised a foot and stepped on her head.
“You lowly humans! You’re all just stupid and weak ants, yet you dare provoke Otey like this!!” The blood-red eyes on that half-burnt face glared as Otey raged at that moment.
Xiao Lan stepped down harder, and there was a corrosive sound under his foot. “The one stepping on you now is a lowly human.”
Xiao Lan then took out his dagger, and the sharp tip pierced Madam Bella’s heart.
While he didn’t know how to kill this thing which wasn’t human, damaging her heart first should prevent her from healing for a while, right? They would deal with it later if it didn’t work.
Madam Bella stopped moving, her scarlet eyes also gradually turning dark; she looked like she was dead.
But Xiao Lan didn’t dare underestimate a boss with no death conditions. Who knew when she would recover? Xiao Lan seized the moment when she couldn’t move for the time being to rapidly put some distance between them.
“The transportation array is ready!” Wang Taidi called out.
Xiao Lan, Luo, and Wang Ke swiftly ran towards the transportation array.
The one furthest away from the transportation array was Xiao Lan.
Suddenly, the entire manor shook hard, and Madam Bella, who had been still, also underwent a strange change. A blood-coloured mist even denser than before covered her body and even spread over the ground in Xiao Lan’s direction.
The ground let out a sizzling sound of corrosion in its wake; this power wasn’t just a little stronger than the previous blood mist.
And the duration of Xiao Lan’s skill had already reached zero.
At that moment, the thick blood mist reached Xiao Lan at lightning speed, but Xiao Lan was still roughly three steps away from the transportation array.
One step was like a chasm between life and death.
In that crucial moment, Luo picked up Edmund’s necklace, which had been used to activate the transportation array, and ruthlessly flung it with all his might in the direction of the blood mist.
Given how strong this blood mist was, it would only take an instant for this fragile necklace to melt down.
“Edmund —” A cry of alarm rang out in the blood mist.
It was Bella’s voice.
The blood mist which had been charging towards Xiao Lan suddenly swerved to the side and melted a large hole in the basement wall.
“Ah —”
As Otey roared angrily, Luo opened his arms and caught Xiao Lan who rushed over, then stepped steadily into the transportation array.
In the glow of the transportation array, the system notification for clearing the game rang out:
“Ding dong —”
“Congratulations to player Xiao Lan for clearing the game ‘Madam Bella’s Manor’.”
“Reward item for clearing the instance:【You’re so broke you make me laugh】 ”
“【Name: You’re so broke you make me laugh (rare item, already bound)】 ”
“【Ability: Because of your poverty, the boss decides to let you off for the time being. Number of uses (1/1)】 ”
“【Description: As long as you’re broke enough, there’s hope】 ”
Xiao Lan in the darkness: “…”
The author has something to say:
The most gorgeous instance so far has been completed. A small theatre is included:
Taidi: My ge dares to go outstation alone
Annie: My jie dares to eat poop!
Taidi: So does my ge!
Bella & Wang Ke: I don’t dare!!!
Baobao Notes
Extra Kofi chapter!
Also, I wanna task if you guys would like me to put in arcs at the content page? The author doesn’t have arcs, but I can roughly set up the arcs so those who read by arcs can know when to read.
thanks for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️♥️ dividing it into arcs would help but, if it’s too much trouble there’s no need, we can figure it out from the chapter titles.
Thank you for the chapter ❤ There are already titles for each chapter so i don’t think putting it in arcs would be necessary ❤
That Mini theatre though …..**wheeze**… Annie sure is a firm sis-con ah, even when Bella become like this she still stays with her….how touching ah😭Thanks for the chapter~
BTW Baobaomei-san, i don’t think we may need arcs, because as some of us might have said, the chapter title makes it easy for us to guess when an arc ends, so its fine~
I don’t think the division in arcs is needed because I usually read the chapter as soon as it’s out, but maybe some people prefer to read all the arc at onceThank you for the chapter!!! ❤️❤️
yess please do arcs!!thanks for the chapter!
Please do Arcs! It makes it so much easier when you wanna re-read a certain part again 😄
HAHA Xiao Lan, being broke is the best thing! Thanks for the chapter <3

I think dividing by arcs will make it much easier for us to read but I’m fine without as well since I’m actively following this right now at every chapter >___< would probably have more difficulty if I took a long break from reading though…
