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

Chapter 298, 1.21-14: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
"He's still alive." Mu Yegui looked at Ferna, who seemed to want to tear her apart, with a puzzled expression, and said slowly.

The hand around her neck tightened little by little, and you could faintly hear the sound of bones cracking, except that it was Fernna's wrist that was broken.

Jealousy crushed Fernana's wrist without hesitation, and Fernana seemed to have lost all feeling of pain, not giving up even as the bones in her wrist were broken.

“You said you watched him die with your own eyes, but I also watched him live with my own eyes.” Mu Yegui casually grabbed the hand off his neck and said, “After a player dies, there is a chance to become a member of this world, that is, an NPC.”

The cold, silver eyes glanced at Jealousy beside him, who snorted and reluctantly explained, "Sloth has subordinates capable of resurrecting the dead, second only to the First Death." Judging by the timeline, the new Lanlos has already appeared, but Sloth hasn't yet announced it.

Fernana grasped the wrist of her severed hand, moved it slightly, and in the next second it was restored to its original state. She lowered her head, seemingly pondering the truth of the statement, but didn't foolishly utter the rhetorical question, "How do you know?"

Just from the fact that this person casually uttered the word 'lazy,' you can tell this person is no ordinary individual; they might even be on the dungeon owner rankings. The tone carried a hint of familiarity, unlike that of a typical dungeon owner.

Therefore, only those that are among the seven deadly sins will have equal status.

Thinking of this, Fernana took a few steps back.

She didn't know why Mu Yegui was so familiar with this person, but she didn't want to know either.

"Regarding whether Tang Shuna is still alive, I will personally investigate after this instance. Is there anything else you want to say?" Fernana said slowly.

Perhaps she was initially in pain, desperate, and even resentful that Tang Xiuna had died in front of her.

If only Tang Xiuna were still alive...

But when she actually heard the news that he was still alive, she was very calm, without any of the regret or relief she had imagined. It was as if it were a matter of course, and all she felt was calmness.

She thought she would be very happy, but she didn't realize that she couldn't feel that emotion at all.

She may have lost all positive perception, and her heart is filled with only anger, resentment and despair. Even the news that Tang Xiuna is still alive cannot stir the slightest ripple in her heart.

She thought, there really is no going back.

It's too late for her to know now; there's no going back.

She didn't even know if she still loved Tang Xiuna, and she couldn't feel any emotions other than negative ones.

Mu Yegui stared at Ferna in silence for a while before finally asking, "Have I added to your burden?"

Fernana shook her head. Beneath the black veil, her pale skin and bloodied lips conveyed a despairing, yet breathtaking beauty. Her black tulle dress, like a black wedding gown, swayed gently in the cold wind.

Mu Yegui had once heard a legend about the Black Bride. The black wedding dress represented unwavering loyalty to her lover, even unto death, while the black veil signified that she would only be widowed and never divorced. The Black Bride possessed unwavering courage, never doubting her love even in death, remaining faithful to her partner for life.

Black represents solemnity and nobility.

"This color is a bit too somber for you. Why don't you consider changing your clothes?" Mu Yegui said slowly.

Fernana's body trembled slightly.

“Look, sometimes you should dress a little brightly like me,” Mu Yegui said, turning around and gesturing to Fernna with his red cloak.

Fernana glanced at the blood-red cloak Mu Yegui was wearing, a slight smile playing on her lips. The color was a bit too vibrant, but it did suit her very well.

Otherwise, she might have forgotten that Mu Yegui actually still looks like a child. It's just that she usually appears too calm and composed, making it easy to forget that she is actually very young, perhaps even a minor.

"I'm sorry," Felna said softly. She had acted too impulsively just now, and she was still a little scared when she thought about it.

"Ferna, treat me to dinner in the Fairy Tale Kingdom next time, and I'll forgive you then," Mu Yegui said softly, brushing the snowflakes off his clothes.

Fernana nodded, about to say something, but froze on the spot after being met with a jealous glare.

“We’ve been standing at the door long enough, it’s time for us to go in.” Jealousy didn’t look at Fernana anymore, but just said to Mu Yegui.

The two entered the valley, and the first thing they saw was a desolate and barren mountain path, with nothing but cliffs and withered trees on both sides.

A black crow perched on a withered branch, cawing mournfully, as if foreshadowing the player's impending death.

The sky was overcast, with only snowflakes falling, clinging to the black soil as if trying to cover up the sins, but in the end they melted into the soil and became one with it.

Jealousy paused slightly, then suddenly grabbed Mu Yegui's shoulder and pressed her against a nearby rock.

His dark orange eyes flashed with a cold light, filled with jealousy and madness, almost capable of devouring a person.

"Why do you always have to care about those clueless people?" Jealous eyes were fixed on Mu Yegui's calm silver eyes, and her deep, alluring voice carried a dangerous undercurrent.

Mu Yegui's expression remained calm, and it didn't change at all from beginning to end.

"That same expression again..." Jealousy gripped Mu Yegui's shoulder tighter and tighter, his handsome face beneath his silver hair showing a hint of resentment and anger.

"Is it because only Xie Er is special?! Why do you always have such a cold and indifferent expression towards me, as if you don't exist at all?! Tell me!" Jealousy grabbed Mu Yegui's shoulders with both hands, her expression slightly painful, struggling and complicated.

Those dark orange eyes were filled with ugly, unbearable jealousy and anger.

He was jealous, jealous of Sher, whom he considered his mortal enemy.

Because back then, he became one of the original sins precisely because he was jealous of Sher.

No one knows how ugly and despicable his heart is. He desperately wants that person to look at him, and for this he does not hesitate to use someone else to drive away Gluttony, and even orchestrates the Lust incident.

But did he really become the winner?
In the end, Shel remained special.

And he was nothing but a joke.

“It has nothing to do with Xie Er.” Mu Yegui raised her eyes and looked quietly into those dark orange eyes. She said softly.

"Can't I?" Jealousy's voice suddenly softened, and a single, crystal-clear tear slid down her cheek.

He had endured it for a thousand years, but in the end he couldn't hold back and even cried in front of her, which was truly shameful.

Those cool, silver eyes narrowed sharply when they saw that single, glistening tear.

A smile suddenly crept onto her lips, her silver vertical pupils fixed on jealousy. She said with a half-smile, "Little Qi, what kind of feelings are you harboring?"

At the beginning, I was almost overcome with jealousy.

There are a few things that Jealousy and Sher have to talk about. The grudge between these two is indelible. Jealousy really hates Sher so much that he wishes he were dead, while Sher is annoyed by Jealousy, who is always provoking him.
