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

Chapter 166 1.11 11 The Hall of Amnesia
While Jealousy was still on the phone with someone else, Mu Yegui opened the door and went out.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Ji Qi walking out from the opposite side. The latter glanced behind Mu Yegui, then raised an eyebrow, "Tsk tsk tsk... I didn't expect this..." Then he saw Ji Qi open his fan with a 'snap' and walk away swaying.

Mu Yegui tilted her head and watched his departing figure, feeling as if this person had misunderstood something.

Despite this outward appearance, Ji Qi displayed a completely different expression after turning around. His dark eyes held a deep and complex look, and his solemn expression contained a hint of emotion.

"It's been a long time..." he sighed softly, finally turning everything into a sigh.

At the corner, out of sight of others, he lost his strength and slumped against the wall.

With a 'thud,' the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground.

He clutched his clothes tightly with both hands, trying to hold back his tears but unable to. His dark eyes, filled with sorrow and longing, were strained to hold back the tears.

"What is this now...it's already..."

A dark shadow loomed over Ji Qi, his beautiful, dark purple phoenix eyes filled with worry, and a low, magnetic voice whispered, "What are you doing?"

Ji Qi was slightly taken aback. He raised his eyes, a few tears still glistening at the corners. "Rong?"

Gluttony handed the handkerchief to Ji Qi, turned his head to look into the distance, his beautiful dark purple phoenix eyes fixed on the exquisite vase, and slowly said, "Teacher, I didn't see anything."

"Hmph, your eyesight wasn't very good to begin with." Ji Qi wiped his face haphazardly, picked up the folding fan from the ground, and carefully patted off the dust, as if it were the most precious treasure to him.

"Did you ever regret leaving with me, sir?" Gluttony looked at the black gemstone ring on his finger and asked in a low voice, "After all... I was the only one who was abandoned..."

“If he really was going to abandon you, he wouldn’t have specifically sent me to take care of you.” Ji Qi’s smile returned. “My fat pig master does have the advantage of being able to eat a lot.”

Gluttony: "..." I really shouldn't have comforted this person.

"From being high and mighty to being ignored, wouldn't the teacher feel that psychological gap?" Gluttony smoothed his loose black hair behind his head and asked again.

"How could there not be? But..." Who told him to be a protector of his father? Only the person in front of him was someone he couldn't bear to abandon. Even if he was scolded harshly every day, he would never have the thought of leaving him alone.

"Hmm?" Gluttony frowned, looking slightly puzzled.

"A pig that only knows how to eat won't understand," Ji Qi said slowly, waving his fan.

"That's all the teacher ever does to make fun of me..." Binge eating sighed helplessly.

The black lilies in the vase not far away swayed gently in the breeze.

the other side.

"A ball invitation?" Shui Qi sat in a chair in her hotel room, her brows furrowed as she looked at the letter in her hand.

"The location is... the Duke's Castle..." Looking at the back of the envelope, the bright red sealing wax gave him a very bad feeling.

[Congratulations, player, you have triggered the Crown Prince's Special Journey! Please agree to participate!]

"Feilu, does that mean all the crown princes will appear?" Shui Qi raised an eyebrow and asked.

Apart from His Highness Satan, who was at the top, all the other princes did indeed receive invitations.

Shui Qi opened the envelope and glanced at the contents casually. "Tonight? I'm the only one in the royal city." Shui Qi frowned. Dao Lin was currently investigating in the Fairy Tale Kingdom. If it was received today, there was no way he could arrive in time.

Please do not worry about this. When 6 PM arrives, any Crown Prince who has received an invitation will be immediately transported to the ball venue, regardless of their location, simply by opening the door.

Shui Qi: "..." So it's basically a clause that doesn't allow refusal, a tyrannical one.

"A formal dress? I didn't prepare anything like that." I didn't want to wear casual clothes to the ball at all, but since there was this unreasonable clause, I figured I must have prepared everything.

Everything is prepared for you; your dress will be delivered soon.

Just as Fei Lu finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door.

Shui Qi opened the door and saw Mu Yegui with a blank expression, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"..." Mu Yegui shoved the bag in his hand into Shui Qi's arms, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Shui Qi glanced down at the dress in the bag, then called out.

Mu Yegui turned to look at him, her cool silver eyes filled with a hint of confusion. This person seemed to know her, and quite well at that. The diary mentioned needing to find an ally to prevent jealousy and betrayal, so she could actually ask him.

However, she doesn't know this person well enough to draw any conclusions, especially since she can't speak right now. She should observe and wait before making any decisions.

"Weren't you locked up? Why can you come and go as you please?" Shui Qi asked hesitantly.

Mu Yegui pointed to his neck.

Shui Qi suddenly realized, "So we can't speak anymore, is that part of the punishment?"

He probably guessed that Mu Yegui would be punished or something, after all, the tavern had spread the news, and Mu Yegui was the only player who was notified to everyone for violating the rules.

I don't know whether to say she's unlucky or what to say about her...

“Based on my deduction, the punishment should have a time limit. From this, it means that some kind of action is required to end the punishment, and it must be done before the punishment time expires. So… you are in a special punishment instance, am I right?” Shui Qi turned around, put the bag in her hand on the table, chuckled, looked back at Mu Yegui, and said slowly.

Mu Yegui stared at Shui Qi without giving any response.

After a long while, she nodded.

“I can help you, but… in exchange, you have to work for me for free once.” Shui Qi said to himself after seeing Mu Yegui nod.

'Working?' Mu Yegui's mouth moved, but no sound came out.

"It means you'll enter a dungeon with me and help me conquer it, but in the end, I'll be the one conquering it, not you," Shui Qi said slowly, stroking her smooth chin.

'Then what can you do to help me?' Mu Yegui asked using lip reading.

Shui Qi did not answer Mu Yegui directly, but instead asked in return, "What do you want me to do for you?"

It must be said that Shui Qi was very cautious. He only spoke of his certain guesses, but did not mention anything about things he was not sure about. His purpose was to get clues out of Mu Yegui.

So he countered with a question, since he didn't know what Mu Yegui was planning to do, and he used the question to ascertain her next move.
