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

Chapter 19, Section 1.1: The Hidden Pavilion

The fog gradually dissipated.

The moment she took her final step, a dazzling light enveloped her. Mu Yegui instinctively raised her hand to shield herself, closing her eyes tightly to block the light's assault.

As the light gradually faded, her curled, misty gray eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her clear, silver eyes. Her eyes were as calm as an ancient pool, reflecting the hidden pavilion, built entirely of glass and bathed in a beam of light poured down from the sky.

The glass refracted the faint sunlight, shimmering with ivy that climbed the glass walls with vibrant life.

The surrounding plants were lush and green, and specks of fluorescent light danced in the air.

Mu Yegui looked up slightly at the sky. The entire sky was shrouded in darkness, but a passage was opened up for the Hidden Pavilion, allowing sunlight to shine through and making the scenery even more dazzling.

The grass beside him rustled slightly, and a snow-white rabbit darted out. It first glanced at Mu Yegui with its large, moist, dark eyes. A red birthmark between its brows, resembling a flower petal, made it even more beautiful than ordinary white rabbits. Its three-lobed mouth twitched slightly before it hopped towards the Hidden Pavilion.

Mu Yegui subconsciously followed it forward, her eyes sweeping over the surrounding plants, which drooped listlessly as if asleep. She gently picked up a leaf, placed it to her lips, and rolled it in with her tongue.

Suddenly his pupils contracted sharply, clearly startled by the smell.

"Pah! What is this?!" Mu Yin narrowed his dark golden vertical pupils slightly, frowned with disgust, and muttered, "Please, can you not just eat random things? This is such a novel taste that I've never tasted anything like it before." Calling it novel was actually being very polite.

Mu Yegui was so frightened by the smell that he switched places with Mu Yin, so in the end, it was Mu Yin who truly tasted all the flavors and still savors them to this day.

Mu Yin had long known that Mu Yegui was a cunning and ruthless man, but in the past, it was always others who were being played. Now that it was his turn, he felt powerless to do anything about it...

Now that they had switched places, Mu Yin had no intention of switching back anytime soon. As he followed the rabbit, feeling the hunger in his stomach, a hint of killing intent involuntarily crept into his dark golden vertical pupils.

The rabbit trembled with fear at the increasingly terrifying presence behind it, but it dared not look back, for fear that if it did, it would lose its life.

Mu Yin savored the lingering, novel taste in his mouth, and his appetite vanished instantly.

Suddenly I don't want to eat anymore.

No appetite.

I think I have anorexia.

Pooh!
The rabbit stopped in front of the steps, indicating that it had brought the person to their destination, and then ran away in a flash, as if something was about to take its life.

Mu Yin gazed longingly in the direction the rabbit had fled, which had long since disappeared from sight. After a while, he turned his head and stepped onto the steps made of stained glass.

This is a house that is truly built with stained glass, and you can see clearly inside from the outside.

He pulled out a vintage key tied with a blue satin ribbon from his pocket; it seemed to be made of brass, a material completely different from the glass door in front of him.

Mu Yin thought for a moment, then finally inserted the key into the keychain and turned it gently. With a 'click', the door opened.

Just like the view from outside, the paper scattered all over the floor completely obscured the glass furniture inside, as if a thief had broken in. Except for the fact that no furniture was broken, the rest of the place was in complete disarray.

Mu Yin kicked the paper at his feet with a hint of disgust, then stepped on it without hesitation.

There was no sound, which means this is not actually a dungeon.

Previously, when Mu Yin received the key, he was given a task that seemed to be to "open the door to the Hidden Mansion and obtain the entrusted letter".

Letters entrusted to us...

Mu Yin stared at the room littered with papers, his lips twitching slightly. How was he supposed to find the entrusted letter hidden among them in this environment?

[Task Refresh]

[Current Task: Find the entrusted letter hidden in the room]

[30 minutes to go, starting now.]

Mu Yin: "..."

The ubiquitous countdown forced Mu Yin to set out and search. He was currently in a room that resembled a living room, but even so, it was still littered with papers scattered everywhere, leaving him nowhere to do anything.

"What kind of taste does the owner of the Hidden Mansion have?" Mu Yin picked up the paper from the ground, growing angrier the more he thought about it, and finally threw it back down. [The Hidden Mansion is currently unclaimed! According to the rules, the person with the key is the temporary owner; only by obtaining the study's seal can one gain full access to the Hidden Mansion.] The voice suddenly reappeared after Mu Yin spoke, but unlike its usual mission-issuing function, it started chatting with him.

"So you can talk!" Mu Yin exclaimed in surprise. He had always thought that this thing didn't have its own thoughts, but now he realized that it was intelligent.

[That's very rude of me. My name is Phil. Theoretically speaking, as long as it's within the King's Game, I can hear everyone speaking, no matter where they are; it's just a matter of whether I choose to respond or not.]

This was Mu Yin pushing his luck: "Fei Lu, can you tell me where the letter I was entrusted with is?"

【cannot. 】

"What a cold answer! My heart is breaking!" The dramatic Mu Yin exclaimed, clutching his heartless chest as he rummaged through drawers and cabinets.

Aren't you genderless like me?

Mu Yin: "..."

I inexplicably felt like I was being mocked by some unknown creature, and I was so angry.

You've been in this room for 10 minutes now.

"Tell me first, what should I do if I can't find it?" Mu Yin stopped what he was doing, crossed his legs on the sofa, and asked in a very condescending manner.

Theoretically, if you go outside, you'll be surrounded and attacked by all the carnivorous plants around you, and eventually devoured.

Mu Yin suddenly recalled the leaves from earlier, feeling that the novel taste still lingered on the tip of his tongue, and couldn't help but cover his mouth.

Nausea.

want to vomit.

Is she pregnant?

Depend on!
How about it! Aren't you scared?

"No, those plants taste awful. I have absolutely no will to fight." Mu Yin slumped onto the sofa, looking utterly hopeless.

Five minutes left.

"You're so annoying! Can you please stop reminding me? I can't find it!" Mu Yin said in a fit of despair.

Couldn't you have searched more carefully?

"No! I refuse." Mu Yin lay on the sofa, sighed, and slowly closed his dark golden vertical pupils. When he opened them again, he had a pair of clear, cold silver eyes.

Mu Yegui sat up, glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on the coffee table not far away. He stretched out his long, slender fingers and pulled out a striking, unopened brown letter that was completely different from the white paper.

I feel like my master, Ge Muyin, is an idiot.

[Ding! Mission complete! Received the entrusted letter!]

[Task refreshed...]

Although this isn't a real instance, it's already a prerequisite quest.

Have I ever mentioned that Mu Yegui is actually a hidden sadistic and scheming individual? If I haven't, it's not too late now. Although it's not obvious here, Mu Yin is a sadistic individual who knows he's a sadist.

In my imagination, this dungeon is very interesting. Each kingdom's dungeon has different features and even different strategies.

A four-part quality summary from Mu Yin:
If you dare to dislike me.

Then you're doomed.

"I can't kill you?!"

Tsk!
