I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 133, Section 1.8: Yellow Gemstone

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback. Players who had entered the Fairy Tale Kingdom instance were all familiar with the name Mr. Adele; his romantic escapades were practically legendary. No one knew that Mr. Adele had always been there; he was always in the intelligence agency, but no one could truly know him.

“I know nothing about him except his name, not even why he is here or why he can’t leave. But I have a feeling that I will know everything once the Crown Prince arrives.” So he has been waiting, waiting for the day when the truth will come.

Mu Yegui recalled the closed Route 9 he saw when he first arrived in the Royal City and asked, "Is it related to the closed roads in the Royal City?"

"I don't recall whether it was related or not, but there is indeed a rule: all owners of dungeons are strictly prohibited from entering the Royal City, and violators will be stripped of their status and exiled for life."

Mu Yegui picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth. So how did Fei Xiu enter the royal city? Come to think of it, it seems that he doesn't trigger any rules no matter where he goes. Could it be that he is a special being?
Adele gently tapped the wooden wine glass on the table and said slowly, "Among the owners of the dungeon, there is indeed a special individual who is the only one allowed to enter."

Her cool eyes were fixed on the last piece of apple on the wooden plate. She gently picked it up with her fingertips and put it in her mouth.

Mr. Adele's face was still shrouded in darkness. He reached out as if to touch Mu Yegui's hair, but the next second it passed right through him, as if everything was an illusion, full of falsehood. He paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Come back here after you become the Crown Prince. Even a free apple needs to be chewed and savored."

"Sorry to bother you." Mu Yegui nodded to him, then jumped off the high stool and walked out.

He had just stepped out when he bumped into a child. The little boy fell to the ground, looking bewildered, clearly not expecting this. The next second, he got up in a panic, picked up the letter that had fallen to the ground, and ran eastward as fast as he could.

Before Mu Yegui could even apologize, she looked down and saw a glittering golden gem left where the little boy had fallen.

I bent down slightly and picked it up. Is this a yellow gemstone?

With her cool, silver eyes fixed on the direction the little boy was running, Mu Yegui, who had originally planned to meet Ling Tong, turned slightly and headed east. The appointed time hadn't arrived yet, so she should return the things first.

"I think it's fine not to return it," Mu Yin said belatedly.

“That’s not mine,” Mu Yegui refused.

“If you use beauty or money to lure it out, then you’ll definitely need a grand event to support it.” Mu Yin added, “You don’t need to get involved.”

"Tong gave me five incomplete pages ['104'], and I also agreed to cooperate with him, so I couldn't possibly not participate. Xiaoyin, trust is something that, once lost, can never be regained." This last sentence was taught to her by Nalan Xu, who said it was something she had to abide by.

"Tch, it's that woman Nalan Xu again!" Mu Yin snorted coldly and then fell silent.

Following the direction the little boy had run, Mu Yegui noticed a wall covered in ivy. He paused briefly, then jumped over it without hesitation.

It was a garden where an afternoon tea was being held. Young girls, dressed in their finest attire, sat around a long table, chatting and laughing, enjoying the cozy afternoon. Seated at the head of the table was a blond man dressed as a nobleman, his demeanor elegant and refined. Wearing white gloves, he held a stack of small cakes and was feeding one of the girls beside him.

Mu Yegui was in a relatively remote place with a tree blocking her view, so she was not discovered by anyone after she climbed over the wall.

The little boy hurriedly ran to the blond man dressed as a nobleman, panting as he handed him the letter. But after discovering that the yellow gemstone was missing, he frantically rummaged through his pockets, trying to find it.

Mu Yegui took a step forward, intending to return the gem, but the next second she was pulled back slightly against something hard, and a large hand covered her mouth. A deep, magnetic male voice warned in her ear, "Shh! Don't come any closer!"

The voice was completely unfamiliar; she was certain she had never heard it before.

She reached out and grabbed the man's large hand that was covering her mouth, took a step forward, and then turned to look at him.

His long, light golden hair was tied back with a yellow ribbon. His deep, angular features were like a sculpture, and his handsome face wore a slightly unruly, arrogant smile. His ears weren't the rounded curves of humans, but rather pointed, not as exaggerated as those of elves, yet still quite noticeable. A pair of golden, snake-like vertical pupils stared intently at Mu Yegui, their gaze cold yet filled with inquiry.

He was extremely tall, with bronze skin and well-defined muscles that gave him a powerful, mature, and reliable charm, as dazzling and radiant as the golden sun.

He placed one hand behind his back, bent slightly, and looked down at the petite Mu Yegui. His deep, magnetic, mature voice slowly said, "This is not a place for you. You have already trespassed on a private residence."

"You also trespassed on a private residence." Her cool, silver eyes glanced briefly at the farce of the nobleman insulting the little boy, then turned back to the man and said.

He paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting Mu Yegui to say that, then burst into laughter with delight, "Hahahaha..."

Mu Yegui reached out and covered his mouth, his face expressionless but serious as he said, "Shh, you said to be quiet."

The reason he was able to cover his mouth was because he kept bending over and looking at Mu Yegui, with the two less than ten centimeters apart.

His golden, vertical pupils narrowed slightly as he stood up, his smile arrogant yet unrestrained. "That gem is with you, isn't it?"

"So?" Mu Yegui looked up at him and asked.

He stretched out a hand towards Mu Yegui, palm up, only a silver ring visible on his index finger. "You should return it to its rightful owner."

"How do I know that's yours and not that person's?" Mu Yegui blinked, her tone slightly confused.

"You'll know once you hand it over to me, won't you?" His golden vertical pupils gleamed with undisguised pleasure as he looked down at Mu Yegui and spoke slowly.

“No, you have no proof.” Mu Yegui shook his head and refused.

“If you hold that yellow gemstone up to the sun, this pattern will appear on it.” The man tugged at his collar, revealing his muscular chest and abdomen. A golden dragon was painted on his left chest and abdomen, which contrasted beautifully with his bronze skin, giving him an indescribable and unique charm.

The height I gave for this person is 205cm, which is the tallest so far, and of course, the best figure too, hahaha.

There's an extra chapter for White Valentine's Day! Some readers told me they wanted to see Fischl's story, and only I spoil you guys like that, so here it is.

The next chapter will feature Fisch's return! Consider it a bonus chapter, unrelated to the main storyline.
