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

Chapter 296, 1.21-12: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
A fluffy white hamster appeared out of nowhere and leaped down to hug Mu Yegui's delicate and beautiful face.

Instinctively, he grabbed the scruff of its neck and lifted it in front of his eyes. His cool, silver eyes met those small, golden eyes, and Mu Yegui suddenly fell silent. Lately, Jin Yin had been particularly fond of rubbing its face against his, even though there didn't seem to be anything on its face that it needed to wipe.

"Stop fooling around, I'm doing serious business," Mu Yegui said in a low voice, then tossed it into the hood of his red cloak.

"Squeak~" Jin Yin let out a wronged cry, rolled over in the hood and turned its furry bottom towards Mu Ye Gui, then curled itself into a ball and fell asleep.

After dealing with the gold and silver, Mu Yegui turned his gaze back to the white wolf king and took a step forward. The wolf king cautiously took a few steps back, and the two gray wolves beside him blocked its path, baring their teeth and howling fiercely at Mu Yegui.

Mu Yegui tilted his head and looked at them in confusion. His bare, smooth feet were on the tail of a dead wolf, without being stained by any dirt.

The red cloak she wore was as vivid as blood, standing out starkly against the white backdrop.

Olycia crouched on the ground, her hands covering her head, staring blankly as Mu Yegui continued to approach the wolf pack, momentarily forgetting her own actions.

A pack of ferocious gray wolves pounced on the girl, reflected in her deep brown eyes. She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound. The next second, she dodged the direct attack by turning to the side, then cut off the gray wolf's head. Blood sprayed all over the ground but didn't splatter on her at all.

It was only a minute, but for Olycia it felt like half a century.

But from the moment the gray wolves charged in to the moment the pack retreated, only a minute had passed.

The girl casually flicked the blood off her short sword and sheathed it at her waist, the movement exuding a cool and carefree air as if she had repeated it thousands of times before.
He slowly turned around, presenting her with a face so beautiful it seemed unreal, like a doll, and said softly and emotionlessly in a sweet, childlike voice, "They've already left."

Olycia, her eyes red and swollen, remained motionless, like a statue.

Mu Yegui walked up to her, bent down slightly, placed his hands on his bent knees, tilted his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Hmm? There doesn't seem to be any reaction?"

"Master is too kind, even saving a piece of trash." A deep, alluring voice came from behind, tinged with disdain and disgust.

Her cool, silver eyes gazed silently at Olycia as she extended her small hand towards her. "Give me your hand."

The words were still devoid of emotion, nothing but statements. Although there was no tone of command, Olycia sensed an unquestionable air about them.

Her deep brown eyes fell on the small hand, which was even smaller than her own. Although the palm was facing up, one could still see the antique black ring with a sword and shield pattern engraved on her middle finger.

Trembling, she reached out and placed her hand in that small hand. The slightly cold hand grasped hers, and with a gentle pull, she felt a force pull her forward, only to bump into a fragrant embrace.

Jealousy frowned, watching Mu Yegui hug Olycia. His dark orange eyes flashed with dissatisfaction and murderous intent. He chuckled, casually adjusted his top hat, and said coldly, "How long are you going to hug her?" Mu Yegui took a step back, pondering, and said, "Girls are indeed soft and gentle, completely different."

As she spoke, she touched her flat chest, her gaze lingering on the bulge in Olycia's chest. The next second, everything went black as a large hand covered her vision.

"Women aren't anything to look at," Jealousy said, covering Mu Yegui's eyes with one hand, her voice filled with hostility.

"I'm sorry, thank you so much for saving me despite our past grievances. I feel deeply ashamed. My previous behavior towards you was utterly reprehensible. Someone as worthless as me doesn't deserve your help. I'm so sorry for taking up your time," Olycia said to Mu Yegui, bowing her head humbly and respectfully.

"Huh?" Grabbing away the hand that jealousy was using to block her eyes, Mu Yegui blinked, unsure how to answer Olycia for the first time.

So she mimicked Olycia's gesture, placing her hands on her abdomen and bowing slightly towards Olycia, saying, "You're welcome, it was just a small favor. You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jealousy grabbed her and pulled her up. Jealousy narrowed her eyes and looked at Olycia dangerously, warning, "No matter what's wrong with you now or what you want to do, if she learns your moves again, I'll kill you immediately."

A terrifying killing intent surged towards Olycia, who trembled and whispered, "Yes, I am very sorry for causing you trouble. Even death cannot atone for my sins. Please allow me to prostrate myself on the ground to beg for forgiveness."

Jealousy grabbed Mu Yegui by the back of her collar to prevent her from continuing to imitate the action, while coldly watching Olycia bend her knees and prepare to kneel.

"No need to kneel. Um... it was just a coincidence, I was passing by. And then... I saved you... that's it." Mu Yegui's ability to express himself had suddenly regressed to its pre-liberation state, and even the word order was incoherent.

The mist had dissipated at some point, leaving only a continuous flurry of snowflakes falling from the sky, clinging to Mu Yegui's blood-red cloak.

"Young Miss!" Qiao Lin's terrified shouts almost echoed as he ran back, dragging the trembling man with him.

"Miss, are you alright?!" Qiao Lin casually dropped the man and rushed over anxiously, scanning Olivia up and down. After seeing her actions and humble expression, he slapped his forehead.

Oh no, we've let the young lady expose herself like this to her greatest enemy.

Qiao Lin looked conflicted, then stood beside Olivia and bowed to Mu Yegui and Jealousy, apologizing, "I'm so sorry! Miss has caused you trouble! Please forgive me if I've done anything rude! She should recover in about three hours, please don't remind her of what happened during this time! I beg you!!"

Olycia becomes incredibly humiliated and self-loathing whenever she is provoked, and it takes three hours for her to slowly recover. She will not recall any memories from those three hours unless reminded by someone.

Although he didn't know when the young lady had become like this, no matter what, the young lady was still the young lady, and she was someone he wanted to protect.
