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

Chapter 151, Section 1.10: The Seven Deadly Sins
"Huh? Did I come at the wrong time?" The man standing at the door squinted and chuckled as he watched the farce unfolding inside the hall, speaking slowly.

Zhu Yan stood with one foot on a stone chair, holding a sickle in one hand and hooking Jealousy's neck with it. His blood-red eyes, beneath his dark red hair, were filled with anger and violence. With just a slight movement, he could cut off Jealousy's head.

Lanlos chuckled and took a few steps back, indicating that he did not want to get involved. Agatha covered her head with one hand, clearly having a headache. On the other hand, Ji Qi across the stone table was fanning himself with a fan, looking on with amusement.

"I've heard that a new greed has taken hold, is it you?" Ji Qi blinked and asked in confusion as he watched the man slowly walk in, gently waving his fan.

“Just a lucky mortal.” He walked to the right side of the table and sat down, closest to the throne.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his handsome face held a faint smile. Although he looked completely harmless, he unexpectedly gave off the feeling of a shrewd and cunning wolf.

Zhu Yan put down his sickle, frowned slightly as he looked at him, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Shu Ming, please give me your guidance." Beneath his platinum-gold, slightly tousled hair, his narrowed eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of emerald-clear eyes. He glanced at everyone with a deep and steady gaze, then narrowed his eyes again and chuckled softly.

"I'm getting goosebumps." Zhu Yan sat back on the stone chair, rubbing his non-existent goosebumps, and muttered to himself.

"Even more incomprehensible than the previous one in terms of greed. I truly feel sorry for my miserable master." Ji Qi shook his head and sighed, which sounded like schadenfreude no matter how you looked at it.

"Does an unreliable master necessarily have a reliable subordinate?" Jealousy raised an eyebrow slightly and sighed.

"Wrong, it's because the master is a pig that he needs me, his human subordinate, to take care of him. After all, animals need their owners, but seeing the master getting fatter every day, I really want to make him into a delicious meal to reward myself for my hard work." Ji Qi rolled his eyes silently, showing none of the respect others showed to their lord.

“Jealousy is clearly the most unreliable one,” Shu Ming said with a sly smile, exposing the truth.

Jealousy scoffed, "Hmph, a bunch of vulgar people."

Lanlos chuckled gently, his silver eyes fixed on the empty seat to the left of Jealousy, and sighed, "Aside from His Majesty the Duke, Mr. Adele has made it clear that he will be absent and unable to attend. I wonder if he will send an apostle instead."

"Weren't all the apostles of lust dead back then? Are there any left?" Jealousy frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his dark orange eyes.

Ji Qi slowly said, fanning himself, "There can't be any remnants if I personally take action. After all, it's His Majesty's last order, and I'll carry it out even if it costs me my life." His dark eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, but the next second he returned to his original leisurely, spectator-like demeanor.

“The presence of such an apostle means that Mr. Adele recruited a new apostle while he was imprisoned,” Jealousy said, raising an eyebrow.

"My space can isolate everything, but if a large door is opened inside, it's not something I can stop. After all, I'm already annoyed enough about preventing my master from eating too much and being slaughtered like a pig. I don't have time to worry about Adele, who has lost all her abilities." Ji Qi said that he would never give up scolding his boss as long as he had the chance, otherwise he would be wasting his breath.

The palace, which had suddenly fallen silent, was slowly filled with a crisp sound coming from the entrance.

A boy ran in and stood next to Jealousy, frowned, then turned to look at the door and complained, "Sir! Jealousy has taken your seat again!!" "Don't talk so much, kid," Jealousy waved his hand dismissively.

The sound of the cane tapping the ground paused slightly. The Duke, standing beside Jealousy, slowly said, "Is that so? Then do I deserve it?"

Jealousy jumped to her feet, patted her chest, and said with lingering fear, "You scared me to death!"

"Go back to your seat." The stunningly beautiful face beneath her misty white hair carried a hint of coldness, her light golden eyes glancing at him with a hint of jealousy as she spoke indifferently.

Behind the Duke followed a young man with short, dark purple hair who appeared to be quite young. He smiled faintly and nodded to everyone at the stone table. He then walked to the seat to the Duke's right, indicating that he was an apostle of Mr. Lustful Adele.

"Who is he?" Zhu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion.

Zhu Yan was the youngest lord, with seniority only slightly above that of the newly appointed Shu Ming, and knew nothing about Mr. Lustful Adele.

"Let me introduce you. He is Adele's agent—Tan Shuna. He's the same as Greed before, but now he's one of ours." Sher slowly sat down, took out the file, and flipped through a page.

"Huh? Are you about to unleash your lust?" Jealousy frowned, her tone carrying not only dissatisfaction but also a hint of accusation.

"How could that be? The rules won't change. They'll be released whenever they're supposed to. It's just that since lust is gone, it's been inconvenient that no one is handling the affairs of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, so we have to arrange for someone to take care of it." Shel glanced at Jealousy and said, "I'm not as free as you."

The purple gem on her fair finger shimmered faintly. Sher looked down at the text on the document and said slowly, "Tang Xiuna's assessment score is the best among everyone, and he is also the one most compatible with lustful desires, so he is indispensable. After the seventh level is over, remember to teach him the specific procedures. You are an old hand, you should know how to do it. Don't make the mistakes that lust has made before."

"How could that be? I wouldn't trap him just because he's a lustful person. After all, my master is a fat pig who needs my care." Ji Qi said with a smile, slowly waving his fan.

Zhu Yan rested his chin on his hand, idly poking at the red tablecloth. He couldn't join in the conversation, so he decided to just stay out of the way.

He tugged at Agatha's sleeve, and she looked at him calmly. Zhu Yan whispered, "Where's the cake I asked you to bring?"

“Confiscated, Your Highness,” Agatha pushed up her glasses and replied in a low voice as well.

"Hey? But this is so boring," Zhu Yan said, dissatisfied.

Just as Zhu Yan was daydreaming, Xie Er suddenly called out to him, "Furious! Shouldn't the reports for the past three years be submitted?"

"Ah!" Zhu Yan was startled and stood up abruptly, then sat down as if nothing had happened, saying in a defiant tone, "No! I didn't write it at all, that thing is too troublesome."

Sher sneered, saying sarcastically, "I wasn't really expecting your tofu pudding anyway. Agatha, hand me the report."

“Yes.” Agatha pushed up her glasses and took out the report she had prepared for Zhu Yan from her bag.

Zhu Yan: "..." So deliberately naming names was just an excuse to be sarcastic?!
So that's it~~
