CH 81.2

Lian froze, but shame forced him to be truthful. “I’d like to go find my son.”

“I’m sorry, I wanted to take advantage of you, but you saved me, so I can’t lie to you.” Lian stood at the door, his broad back blocking the opening in the wall. His gaze was fixed on Bai Lixin, and he said, “Our three-person family was raised in the far north’s snowy mountains. The number of snow wolves was initially low, with only three people in our pack.”

“One day, we were attacked by a giant. It assassinated my wife and kidnapped my son. I got away because I was hunting. When I returned, my son had already been taken away and my wife’s dying wish was for me to find our son.”

“I came to know that the person who took my son was Count Aer. I tried to infiltrate the castle but the place only had feline beastmen so it was impossible. I once disguised myself as a beastman pulling a cart and although I got in, I was immediately discovered and got thrown out.”

“I accidentally injured a warrior that belonged to another dignitary and was taken to fight in the arena. I lost to Count Aer and finally entered the castle.”

“I was locked up until you came and saved me. But I was taking advantage of you by bringing you down to save my son. I sincerely apologize for deceiving you.”

Lian’s tail swayed twice in a dispirited manner as he begged Bai Lixin’s forgiveness. “However, everything else I said is correct; please forgive me.”

His tail swayed nervously as he gazed at Bai Lixin.

He lowered his head in bitterness when he noticed Bai Lixin’s eyes suddenly contract. He had lied to the other party; how could he expect to be forgiven?

“Lian!” Bai Lixin called out to Lian loudly.

Lian looked up suspiciously and noticed Bai Lixin’s tense expression.

Lian: “???”

Bai Lixin: “Don’t turn around and slowly walk over.”

Lian paused for a few seconds before tensing his shoulders.

Don’t turn around?

Was there something on his face?

Liam gulped and moved his stiff body forward slowly.

Bai Lixin summoned a vine and slowly moved it towards Lian.

Lian lowered his head. The flashlight beam shone over from afar, and under the light, he saw two shadows instead of one.

The other shadow was long and it completely overwhelmed his shadow.

Something cold came up to his ear and rubbed itself against his neck.

Lian gulped and slowly turned his head back.

The next moment, his eyes met a skull devoid of flesh and blood.

It was a very bizarre creature. It appeared to be an undead, but he couldn’t tell. Its upper body was boney and thin, with a long mass of flesh compressed to form the torso. The torso was as flexible as a snake’s.

The upper torso was a human skeleton with burning red flames in the eye sockets.

The monster’s body was still hidden within the labyrinth, with only a long neck and head visible.

On meeting Lian’s eyes, the monster instantly let out a shrill cry.

“Heehee.”

“Heehee.”

“Look at me.”

“Look at me again and I’ll eat you!”

The body inside the labyrinth jerked, and the octopus-like head twisted frantically in the air.

The monster’s upper body climbed the wall, and its long bony neck stretched out, opening its fangs and charging at Lian.

Lian’s legs were stiff, his feet felt like they weighed a thousand tons, and he just stared blankly at the terrifying monster attacking, completely forgetting to react.

The head of the monster attacked him, and just when it was about to bite Lian and tear him apart, a long, thin vine curled around Lian’s waist, quickly pulling him away from the monster’s attack in the nick of time.

Lian slumped to the ground, his hands gripping the ground in fear as he stared at the creature.

The monster became even more crazy on seeing that it’s prey had run away.

It clattered against the wall, its limbs sticking out impatiently, as if it wanted to rush over and reclaim its prey.

The monster had a flexible head, neck, and body, as well as strong limbs and a tail.

The limbs and tail were flesh and blood, as opposed to the skeletonized neck and head.

The forelimbs stepped out of the labyrinth entrance and onto the corridor in order to capture Lian.

The forelimbs appeared to be smoking the next second, and the monster wailed. It couldn’t help but shake its forelimbs as it retracted them quickly.

It was obvious that it couldn’t leave the labyrinth, and the length of its neck was limited. When it realized it couldn’t bite anyone, the monster had no choice but to retreat.

Lian almost ‘pissed’ himself from fear, he pointed to the hole where the monster disappeared as he stammered, “This this, this…what kind of monster is this?”

Bai Lixin pursed his lips and looked at the hole coldly.

In this copy, the Mermaid’s Heart was the core to his operation.

When the monster rushed out earlier, he activated the Mermaid’s Heart but it ruled that the other party had died.

In other words, the other party could be considered “undead,” but he was of the undead race.

Bai Lixin: “This should be the ‘pet’ you mentioned. It’s quite cute.”

Lian: “……”

What part of that was cute?

Bai Lixin directed the flashlight to the labyrinth entrance where the monster had previously stepped. A fine powder lay on the ground.

The white powder was embedded on top of the bricks and even in between the bricks and extended all the way down the corridor before the labyrinth entrance.

The monster stepped on this powder and the soles of its feet emitted white smoke.

What was this thing?

Lian was slumped on the ground, his hands touching the powder, but nothing happened.

This powder appeared to be specifically designed to deal with the undead.

Bai Lixin frowned.

The Undead?

What about Dijia?

Bai Lixin then noticed that Dijia had become much quieter since they went underground. He turned around to see Dijia leaning against the wall, and his flames had also faded significantly.

Bai Lixin quickly walked over and asked, “How are you?”

“Are you finding it difficult?”

Dijia felt as if there was a fire in his body as he leaned against the wall.

Bai Lixin held Dijia’s arm and found that it was frighteningly hot.

“That powder is infused with magic, designed to restrain the magic of the undead race,” Dijia said, pointing to the powder on the ground. “I’ve seen it before, it’s a masterpiece of human magicians.”

Bai Lixin endured the heat and assisted Dijia up the steps.

Because the top of the steps lacked this powder, Dijia’s temperature gradually dropped to that of an undead.

He sat on the stairwell to regain his strength. Bai Lixin placed his brow against Dijia’s and confirmed that the other party’s temperature had dropped before exhaling a sigh of relief.

The soft touch came over without warning, and Dijia suddenly froze at seeing the concerned expression close at hand.

As he gazed at Bai Lixin’s attractive features, he felt as if the burning sensation had returned to his body. Dijia suddenly felt a fire in his heart, as if something was trying to spread.

He is so delicate and handsome, like a rose dripping with ‘dew’ in the garden.

With a gentle squeeze, one can make the rose burst with a juicy pulp.

He is right in front of you.

He is yours, and can only be yours.

A voice kept echoing in his head, constantly provoking Dijia’s sanity.

His voice was there, but it didn’t sound like his voice.

How could he do such a thing with his disciple in front of him?

But……

“Is everything okay, Dijia?” The soft voice of the young man was like a cat scratching at the bottom of his heart.

He is so good.

More delicate than a spring breeze, but more ferocious than the sun.

Soft and gentle like a mountain stream.

Who else but you is deserving of him?

So what if you are his master? It’s just a name.

Dijia’s sanity was impacted by the stimulation of the voice, and he opened his mouth, trying to breathe in the little air in the tunnel while suppressing the desire to lose his morality.

Everything started with the young man and would end with the young man.

When Bai Lixin pressed his cheek against Dijia’s, the last thread of sanity was severed. Dijia suddenly circled Bai Lixin’s waist and captured the lips he had been fantasizing.

The sound of tangled water was particularly load in the quiet secret passage.

Lian stared at the scene before him blankly.

This, what was this situation?

These two turned out to be a couple?

Weren’t we just in a life-threatening situation?How did it come to a kissing scene?

I’m not a dog, why should I be fed dog food?

——————-

In the live broadcast room.

[Hiss.]

[Fragrant, it’s really fragrant!]

[Ahhhh, this is an official announcement! Kiss on! We shall celebrate!]

[If God Xin were a little weaker, I would have shouted “wife,” but he is too strong, so I won’t. I can only kneel and stare up at them.]

[The big boss has finally made a move, but is this something I should be watching?]

[After all, God Xin is God Xin. Others fall in love with the players, but God Xin falls in love with the copy boss. To top it off, the boss is not human! I’m screaming in excitement. wuuuuu]

[Damn, why is there no signal again? ! 】

[It’s just a kiss, ah! What’s up with this system? ! 】

[We’re are all high-end players, what is it that we can not see?]

On the 999th level in the tower

The man crossed his hands and placed them under his nose.

A heavy breath came out of his throat as he locked his lips hidden beneath his hands.

He was desperate to go in and play in person.

System: [ Lord, you are so hot. Do you have a fever?]

The man took a deep breath and let it out: “No.”

System: [Really not? Your voice doesn’t sound fine either. Don’t hold back if you feel uncomfortable. 】

The man: “……”

Don’t hold back?

The man stared at the live broadcast screen, his mind replaying scenes from the [Red Apple House] copy.

The young man lay on the bed, his body curled up like a water snake and frantically teasing him, his entire body blooming with rose petals he created.

It was then that he realized the young man, who appeared as cold as the flower of the high mountain, had this unknown side.

If the young man was this way with him, what about his “late husband”?

The thought that the young man had embraced others with more passionate gestures expanded the man’s chest.

He was angry, he was so angry that he felt like blowing up.

Even his soul fragments could get along with the young yet he could only watch!

This thought made him even more angry!

In an instant, all the glassware in the bedroom on the 999th floor exploded into pieces.

Only the pink- purple pearl necklace remained intact.

The system was scared: [ Lord, are you really okay? Why don’t you just say it? ]

The man gritted his teeth: “Shut up and roll.”

System: [ ……]

Why so fierce!

Who pissed you off and why vent it on the system?
