Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 837 - 84 The Homework Assigned Personally by the Principal

The principal personally called to assign homework, leaving Li Mumu somewhat flattered and overwhelmed.

Of course, a major reason for this was that her abilities had been too weak in the past. Even if something did come up, it was never her turn to handle it.

She had gotten used to losing a fight and then calling for reinforcements, but now she finally had a day when others were calling on her.

And her first assignment turned out to be cleaning the sewers... no, cleaning the Net Path.

Yes, the same Net Path that the Tang siblings had been trying to construct for so long.

Building a Net Path at Qinghe Middle School lacked the necessary materials.

But in some unknown corners, real Net Paths had long since been paved.

A portal opened at the mountaintop of West Spring Mountain, and Li Mumu followed its guidance through to arrive in an unfamiliar world.

What lay before her eyes was an endless expanse of white earth.

The entire world seemed to be covered in ice and snow, with no visible traces of life on the surface.

It was clear this was not the Real World. In Li Mumu’s vision, two brilliantly colored aurora bands spanned the entire sky, occasionally intertwining but mostly stretching parallel toward the horizon.

These were two worlds—or, more precisely, two worldlines.

Due to the influence of Temporal Tide turbulence, the two worldlines, which should have been parallel and never intersecting, were now interweaving and overlapping here.

Beneath the ice, an invisible giant web spanned deep underground, connecting countless caverns and tunnels. In Li Mumu’s eyes, it glimmered with faint silver-white light.

She now finally understood what materials the Tang siblings had been searching for all along. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The foundational material for constructing this Net Path was Ether Substance. In theory, Ether Substance could extend infinitely, making it an excellent material for weaving networks.

But this material could only be obtained from Angels; it couldn’t be sourced from anywhere else.

The brightest Torchfire currently atop West Spring Mountain had been created by Wendy using one test tube of Ether Substance. It had been burning ever since with no significant depletion. The development of Sun Family Town into its current state was intrinsically linked to this initial flame.

Shen Qingxi also had plenty of Ether Substance stored away because she had actually captured an Angel. Back then, Li Mumu hadn’t fully grasped the potential uses of Ether Substance, so she never asked Shen Qingxi for any.

Now, seeing this silver web, Li Mumu realized another application of Ether Substance: constructing the Net Path to form a stable transportation network between the two worldlines.

Whether it counted as a rare and precious natural resource was still open for debate.

In fantasy novels, rare treasures always came with autonomous AI functions—eating them would automatically grant you benefits like Bone Marrow Washing or extending your lifespan.

As for Ether Substance... well, it was like being handed a pound of uranium-235. You knew it was incredibly valuable, but beyond using it for self-destruction or harming others, there wasn’t much else you could do with it.

At the moment, countless civilians were traveling back and forth within the Net Path, shuttling between the two worlds.

Was this what she was supposed to clean?

The principal hadn’t been clear on the phone, but it probably wasn’t about these civilians, especially since Li Mumu noticed that the civilians were escorted by fully armed Garrison Soldiers for protection.

The Net Path environment could be described as stable but far from safe.

Within the deep fissures underground, many grotesque and terrifying giant spiders were emerging from the abyss, launching attacks on the traveling convoys. However, these attacks were swiftly suppressed.

Behind these giant spiders, deep within the earth, an ancient and powerful being was letting out an enraged roar on a soul-deep level.

Although Li Mumu couldn’t understand the language it used, she could more or less guess its meaning.

"Give me back my web—!"

Fair enough; theoretically, the words "spider" and "web" did fit together better.

But from a human perspective, let’s not split hairs. Set aside disputes and work together to develop resources.

The powerful underground creature seemed to already be subdued and posed no real threat. Its spiders, too, were dealt with promptly by experts sent by the Special Service Bureau, causing no serious issues.

So, what exactly was she supposed to clean up? Snow?

Sure, her tail might be red, but she wasn’t some Fire-type Pokémon!

What era was this anyway? Still using colors to categorize attributes?

As Li Mumu puzzled over her assignment, an unexpected event occurred.

A powerful presence entered the Net Path.

And it was someone familiar.

Uesugi Risa, now donning her Witch costume once again, appeared at the Net Path entrance connected to this worldline, seemingly summoned via phone as well.

She appeared to have clear mission directives. The moment she entered the Net Path, she rushed swiftly toward the other end without pause. In her shadow loomed indescribable, chaotic entities wrought of darkness and disorder.

The Divine Witch, as the name suggested, served as an attendant to a god, borrowing power from the deity she served.

Li Mumu had once entered a similar state herself, invoking the Guiding Bodhisattva’s Divine Name and borrowing the Bodhisattva’s power to manifest the True Body of her Dharma Image with three heads and six arms.

At this moment, Uesugi Risa was also in such a state of divine descent. While she barely maintained a human-like exterior, her shell was essentially filled with the Divine Power of the Master of Ten Thousand Transformations.

And the Master of Ten Thousand Transformations... to be honest, didn’t look that great.

It resembled an Evil God—and, practically speaking, wasn’t much different from one. Even typical Evil Gods would retreat in fear at its presence.

There was no helping it—Fusang People had peculiar tastes. Give them a more legitimate deity, and they might not even accept it.

Fried bread and stinky tofu—those are their flavors of choice.

But as everyone knows, strong flavors aren’t just loved by humans. Sometimes they work wonders as bait for fishing or luring prey.

The moment Uesugi Risa entered the Net Path, her presence quickly alarmed certain ancient beings slumbering beneath this icy expanse.

In the distance, the ground began to tremble and rumble, as if something enormous was awakening. A powerful divine consciousness scanned sharply in their direction.

Finally, some action!

Li Mumu immediately realized this was her true mission for the journey—to escort Uesugi Risa safely through the Net Path while dealing with the ancient Mythical Creatures drawn by the aura of the Master of Ten Thousand Transformations.

What appeared first before her eyes was a massive glacier rising from the ground, which turned out to be nothing more than the ice sheet being pushed up by a gigantic creature.

As the glacier shattered, a colossal snow-white worm emerged slowly from beneath, wriggling its mountainous body as it crawled toward the Net Path.
