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

Chapter 332, Section 1.22: Hunger
"I kept thinking about what 'glug glug' meant. I guessed the Dark King was hungry, but it seems like it was actually me who was hungry..."

Mu Yegui squatted on the ground, looking at the white lily swaying in the wind in front of her. Her delicate and petite face was expressionless, but it always revealed her soft and cute nature.

She reached out and touched a lily petal, muttering, "So hungry, so hungry, so hungry... Can I eat you?"

When someone passed by, what they saw was a ball—no, a very cute and adorable little girl who had curled herself into a ball and was squatting in front of a white lily, poking it with her fair fingertips and muttering something under her breath.

“Um…” Lan Xiao blinked, carefully stepped forward and asked softly.

The sound was so soft, like a mosquito's buzz, but Mu Yegui's hand, which was poking at the white lily petals, paused slightly. She had obviously heard someone talking behind her, but she was a little hungry and didn't want to talk to anyone.

"Um... is there anything I can help you with?" Her curly short hair barely reached her shoulders, yet it exquisitely outlined her beautiful face. Her face held a hint of curiosity and caution, like a curious little white rabbit tentatively testing the edge of danger.

This scene was incredibly bizarre.

Mu Yegui, who seems like a delicate and easily pushed little girl, is actually a big bad wolf, while the one standing behind her is a complete little white rabbit, a coward who trembles at the slightest word from others.

At this moment, the little white rabbit is approaching danger without realizing it.

"Then, I'm leaving, okay?" Lan Xiao said cautiously, while subtly taking a step to the side, intending to leave quietly.

However, reality was cruel. She had only moved one foot when a small hand grabbed her ankle. With a gentle pull, her whole body lurched forward, and she fell face-first into the mud.

Lan Xiao: "..." My face hurts.

Mu Yegui looked at the girl who had fallen so badly in front of him, squatted down, poked her cheek with his fingertip, and said softly, "I'm hungry."

Lan Xiao raised her head, but unfortunately her hair covered her eyes, and she could only vaguely make out that it was a very pretty girl.

The fall was quite unseemly, especially her prominent nose, which was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face.

Lan Xiao couldn't help but let out a soft "ooh," then realized she was still lying on the ground. She silently got up and patted her miniskirt, as if she hadn't actually been the one who almost cried.

He rubbed his still tearful eyes, his nose was red, clearly he had hurt himself in the fall.

"I'm hungry." Mu Yegui looked up at her and repeated the sentence.

Lan Xiao rubbed her nose, thinking to herself, "If you're hungry, go eat. Why did you have to tell her that?"

However, the next second, when she met those cold, unfocused, and even terrifying silver vertical pupils with her emerald eyes, cold sweat involuntarily broke out on her back.

Lan Xiao swallowed hard. Could this guy have mistaken her for food?

"You, you mustn't be impulsive, my meat doesn't taste very good." Lan Xiao took a step back in fear, but then immediately stopped.

Her emerald eyes swept around, thinking that this desolate wilderness should be a place where she could escape. Then she turned her gaze back to Mu Yegui.

Her skin was so fair it was almost pale that not a single vein could be seen. Her face was so exquisite that it resembled a doll, except that her eyes were too lifeless and unfocused. At first glance, she looked like an incredibly beautiful doll rather than a living person.

Her arms were so slender they looked like they could break at any moment. She perfectly embodied the phrase "delicate, soft, and easily pushed over"—so fragile that you could easily pick her up.

Compared to Mu Yegui, Lan Xiao, though blushing, shy, and hesitant when speaking to strangers, was at least 175cm tall. No matter how you looked at it, Mu Yegui was easier to bully than Lan Xiao. "Well... I'll take my leave now..." Lan Xiao turned and ran away as if a vicious wolf was chasing her.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Lan Xiao bent over in the dry forest, panting heavily, and sighed, "Luckily I ran fast enough, phew~ I'm exhausted!"

"Are you looking for me?" Mu Yegui's soft, emotionless little voice suddenly came from behind.

Lan Xiao instinctively covered her head with her hands and squatted on the ground, screaming in terror, "Ahhhhh!! A ghost! I'm a good person, I didn't do anything! You can have my money or my body, just spare my life."

Mu Yegui looked down at Lan Xiao, who was trembling all over and didn't look like a lady at all. He wondered why she was like this in private when she looked so respectable on TV.

After calling for a while without any response, Lan Xiao put her hands on her head and cautiously scanned her surroundings.

Mu Yegui was standing behind Lan Xiao, so no matter how Lan Xiao looked, she couldn't possibly see her.

Seeing that no one was around, Lan Xiao slowly stood up, intending to leave. But as she turned around, she saw Mu Yegui, who had been standing behind her and was now in front of her. Her face pale, she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, repeatedly muttering, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me..."

"I haven't said anything yet." Mu Yegui stared at Lan Xiao, wondering if this person had paranoia.

"I don't taste good at all, can I go find someone else?" Lan Xiao suddenly burst into tears.

To be honest, Mu Yegui had never heard anyone cry in a "whimpering" voice until she met Lan Xiao. She realized that such a person did exist, and was crying loudly and unceremoniously right in front of her.

They're supposed to be players in the entertainment industry, essentially celebrities, is this the kind of image they're given?
She remembered that Lan Xiao was ranked number one in the popularity rankings of newcomers in the entertainment kingdom.

That's it?

First place?
Shouldn't he be last?

"Your '30-second rapid-fire Q&A' is very good," Mu Yegui said.

"Huh?" Lan Xiao looked up at Mu Yegui in surprise, her eyes still glistening with tears, but she stopped crying the moment she heard Mu Yegui's words.

"Really?" Lan Xiao asked.

"Yes, that's very interesting," Mu Yegui nodded.

"That's great! I thought I didn't do well. My mind went blank, and I was shaking when I was speaking and making choices." Lan Xiao patted her chest and stomach, letting out a sigh of relief.

"I didn't notice you were trembling." Rather, she seemed quite at ease.

"After all, this is the entertainment kingdom. If you embarrass yourself on a show, you embarrass yourself nationwide. No matter what, you should cover that up in front of others," Lan Xiao said softly, lowering her eyes.

"I'm hungry." Mu Yegui looked down at Lan Xiao, who was still sitting on the ground, and repeated his words once again.

I'm so hungry, I can't stand it anymore.
