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

Chapter 216, Sections 1.15 and 14: Royal Wars
Moya listened quietly to the silent struggle between the two, then raised his teacup and said boldly, "Another cup!"

The struggle between the two suddenly stopped, and both pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time.

"W-what?" Moya blinked, looking completely innocent.

"Surprising, so there really are people who drink tea like water." His cool, silver eyes were fixed on the Hundred Vein Root teacup in Moya's hand, now completely empty of tea, as he spoke slowly.

Although you can't tell from the tone of voice at all.

Tang Xiuna stood up and poured her another cup of tea.

“I am from this royal family…” Fish rested his chin on his hand and casually looked at the garden. A gentle breeze blew, ruffling his bangs, and his azure eyes were filled with a hint of nostalgia.

"Brother!" The surprised voice startled everyone.

Mu Yegui turned her head slightly and saw a blonde girl in a blue aristocratic dress looking at Fish in surprise, her strange sea-blue eyes filled with excitement. Behind her was Koya, who looked somewhat haggard and weak in a maid's outfit.

Fish showed no intention of turning around, nor even the slightest interest.

"Brother!" Qin ran forward quickly, her eyes filled with tears, and called out excitedly.

Tang Xiuna put down his teacup with a knowing look and said softly, "It seems the situation is clear now."

Moya opened her mouth, realizing that this person had been testing Fish all along. No wonder he had prepared two extra tea sets; he wanted to lure Fish to the Eighth Princess and then ascertain the information he wanted.

This person is a devil.

Didn't he think about what would happen if a fight suddenly broke out?

Suddenly, his dark purple eyes met hers, a hint of a smile and an air of certainty in them, as if everything was under his control.

Moya gripped the white tablecloth tightly with both hands, trying to maintain a normal expression.

This person definitely thought about it, but he bet that the two of them wouldn't fight.

He seemed to know what was going to happen next.

Do not!
should be……

Tang Xiuna anticipated everything that would happen next, so he chose the easiest but also the most dangerous option: he was betting that Fish must have a closer relationship with the royal family.

He appears rational yet is driven by madness and recklessness. Is this person truly human?

No normal person would easily joke about their own life, especially someone with such a smart mind.

Tang Xiu lowered his eyes and remained silent, showing no intention of interrupting their reminiscing. His thoughts drifted back to that moment when he died in front of Fernana, looking at her weeping face and feeling a pang of regret for leaving her alone.

But the next second, he regained consciousness and found himself in a temple.

There were many others around him, just as bewildered as he was, unaware of his situation. He simply stared down at his own hands. Just as he was about to be overwhelmed by the joy of being reborn, a command that sounded like an order to kill each other plunged him into despair.

They only need one victor; by killing everyone except themselves, they can survive in another way.

My memory is a bit hazy; I only vaguely remember the back view of someone with very beautiful long hair, and the almost cruel command.

He wanted to live, so he tried many ways to survive, and finally, in a near-death situation, he breathed his last before his opponent.

So, he survived.

He possessed extraordinary powers and became an administrator driven by lust, but in comparison, he was no longer human. Was he, in this state, truly more tragic than actual death?

Even so, he still wanted to see her smile one more time.

I made you cry back then.

I'm sorry, Nana.

Can you forgive him?
"Nice to meet you, brother. My name is Qin, and I am your eighth sister. I admired you greatly even when I was still in our mother's womb, and I always wanted to meet you. Now my wish has finally come true." Qin gracefully curtsied to Fei Xiu and said softly.

"so what?"

“Brother! Mother and sisters are suffering from the Time-Traveling Flowers. To welcome you back, I specially planted Time-Traveling Flowers all around them. They can’t live without them for the rest of their lives.” Qin started speaking shyly with a slight blush on her face, but her voice suddenly lowered as she spoke, and her tone was full of malice.

Suddenly, Qin's expression changed instantly.

Koya braced herself against the table to keep from falling. She was shocked, never expecting that Qin was actually Fish's younger sister.

So, is it true that abnormality can be inherited?

"Can perversion be inherited?" Mu Yegui looked at the two of them and asked expressionlessly.

Moya's lips twitched slightly. This person actually had the guts to say that, but she also had the same thought.

They have almost the same hair color and similar eyes, and although their temperaments are not exactly the same, they are very harmonious.

"Is Xiao Ye Gui praising me?" Fei Xiu chuckled softly and asked gently.

"Of course," Mu Yegui admitted without changing his expression.

Moya rolled her eyes; this was clearly sarcasm.

Tang Xiuna stroked his fair and smooth chin with his gloved hand, pondering, "Time-lapse flower... I was wondering why there were so many forbidden flowers in the castle, so it turns out you planted them."

"What's wrong with your hand?" Mu Yegui looked up at Ke Ya's right arm, where the skin seemed to have an unusual feel to it.

"I don't know, it's a little strange, and then I feel a bit strained," Koya said, shaking her head with a pale face.

Qin's expression changed slightly. She grabbed Ke Ya's arm, her deep blue eyes, like the ocean, fixed on it, and her expression gradually turned cold.

"That thing just touched your arm, didn't it?" Qin looked at Ke Ya and asked.

She was referring to that thing, not her sister. In her heart, that person wasn't family at all.

Tang Xiuna glanced at it and said thoughtfully, "Has he contracted the Time Disease?" It seems that the Time Disease is contagious, but it is more likely to be transmitted through physical contact, since there have been no cases of transmission before.

"It's not too late. We just need to cut off that piece of flesh before it spreads all over the body." Qin drew a short sword from her waist, but the next second, Koya grabbed her hand.

"I'll do it myself." She feels safer when she does it herself, and she's afraid when someone else does it for her; the fear that's deep in her bones can never be eliminated.

She was actually very afraid of death.

Only those who have nearly died become cowards, while those who have died once may forget they are alive and become addicted to death.

Without hesitation, Ke Ya gripped the short sword and plunged it into her arm. Blood splattered everywhere as she slashed off a large chunk of flesh, revealing the bone beneath.
