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

Chapter 352, 1.23, 15 Paper Cutting (Inside)

[Rong Yi (Gluttony): The restaurant next to Secretary Jin.]
Mu Yegui looked down at his phone, occasionally glancing at the surrounding buildings. The buildings here were not densely packed; instead, the spaciousness was somewhat unsettling.

Come to think of it, she seemed to have never dined with Rong Yi, though she had met with Ji Qi once before in the Fairy Tale Kingdom. Although they chatted occasionally, she and Rong Yi weren't very close, at least not compared to Jealousy and Xie Er. She and Gluttonous Rong Yi were practically strangers.

When she was locked in the room, she messaged Rong Yi to confirm if this place was the real world. After hearing Rong Yi's words in the back garden, she became even more certain that this was the real world.

In other words, the moment they stepped through the city gate, they were transported to a fake, pre-programmed instance—this was the real instance. The one Ling Tong and her group were in was likely a model city created using paper-cutting art to resemble this world.

This is just a guess; she'll only know for sure once she finds that so-called model city.

However, model cities have their advantages, and this place has its advantages as well. There might even be things that can only be done in model cities.

The woman Rong Yi referred to as Fu Zixiao might be the owner of this instance; we need to test her out.

But if that's the case, then this instance must be the Crown Prince instance, and the Crown Prince's props will also be related to paper cutting.

"I have no interest in paper..." Mu Yegui muttered to himself. Paper is something you can't eat, and it has a fatal weakness—it's afraid of fire.

I have a feeling that this kind of crown prince prop doesn't look like a good thing. I should give it to Lan Xiao or Bertias.

Since the goal for the second playthrough is to find the real gems, it's naturally better to have as many crown princes as possible. Let those who are already crown princes give this opportunity to the younger generation.

Mu Yegui didn't have much of a competitive spirit. To her, nothing really mattered except for not invading her territory. As long as she didn't consider it her personal property, she wouldn't react much even if it were taken from her.

Rather than saying she listens to others, it's more accurate to say she doesn't care who says it. Anyone will do, as long as their words aren't stupid or insulting to her intelligence; she'll heed their advice.

Of course, this depends on when she doesn't have her own ideas.

She is an absolute egoist. As long as she has her own ideas, she will act according to her own thinking, regardless of what others say. However, she can be quite casual at other times.

She seems approachable and friendly, but in reality, she doesn't care at all; she doesn't care at all.

Mu Yegui is not human, and his way of thinking is not as complicated as that of humans. He likes to go around in circles, but is actually very simple and straightforward.

For example, if she thinks a method won't work, then she will absolutely not take action.

Because she was taught by Nalan Xu from the time she became conscious, her way of thinking largely resembled Nalan Xu's. However, Nalan Xu himself could only be considered half-human, not to mention that the genius's thought process was only a hair's breadth away from being insane.

Overall, Mu Yegui was raised in the wrong way.

"Xiao Yin hasn't made a sound since entering the instance. I guess it's to prevent a situation like the one in 'Wandering Journey,' so her consciousness has been completely blocked." Mu Yegui slowly stopped, looking at the luxurious restaurant in front of him, and murmured to himself.

The restaurant next to Secretary Jin, the one right in front of her. Just as she was about to step into the restaurant, she heard something fall to the ground beside her. The sound was very faint; an ordinary person would probably not have heard it at all, because the street was so lively that such a sound would be completely masked.

However, Mu Yegui was not an ordinary person, or rather, not human. His hearing was many times better than that of a human, and he heard the voice very easily.

Without hesitation, she turned and ran toward the source of the sound. From afar, she saw a golden bird-shaped ornament on the ground in the crowd, which seemed to be an accessory from Ling Tong's clothes.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback. Just then, a little beggar picked up the golden ornament.

"Hehe, I can have a good meal today." The little beggar said as he ran towards the pawnshop.

Mu Yegui chose to follow; no matter what, he had to get that thing back. Ling Tong wouldn't have thrown it in for no reason; there must be some purpose behind it.

"Your Majesty, she's gone." Fu Zixiao stood at the window, gazing at the scenery below, watching as Mu Yegui turned and left without the slightest hesitation just before entering the restaurant.

With her keen eyesight, Fu Zixiao watched and pondered, "Huh? Chasing a little beggar? How strange, the thing that little beggar is holding seems familiar..."

Sitting silently at the square table, Rong Yi gazed at the delicious food on it. His handsome, flawless face showed no extra expression, giving off an aura of authority that made it impossible to look him in the eye.

He lightly twirled a long pipe between his fingers but made no attempt to light it or smoke. He simply tapped the square table casually. His wide-sleeved black robe, embroidered with ink chrysanthemums, exuded an air of nobility and elegance.

He exudes a mature, unapproachable, dignified, aloof, and superior aura, making him difficult to approach. Especially when he has no expression, he becomes so serious that it's frightening, even though he is undeniably handsome.

Her long, narrow, dark purple phoenix eyes were incredibly alluring, yet their depths were exceptionally clear and pure, devoid of any negative emotions.

"Ah! She caught up with him! She caught the little beggar! She took that thing!" Fu Zixiao shouted as she watched.

"Shut up, little girl. Don't be so dramatic." Rong Yi said casually, resting her chin on her hand.

His deep, husky, and magnetic voice carried a hint of languor and casualness, and his tone was remarkably mature. Compared to the youthful energy of others, he always gave off the feeling of an older person when he spoke, appearing old-fashioned yet possessing a unique charm.

"Your Majesty, there's something I need to defend myself about. I'm not a little girl. Even if you call me by my name, please don't use the word 'little' to refer to me," Fu Zixiao said angrily, puffing out her cheeks and thrusting out her large chest.

However, all of this was left to the blind man to see, and the person didn't even bother to glance at it.

"A little girl is a little girl. It has nothing to do with the size of your breasts," Rong Yi said casually. In his opinion, all women look the same, and there is no difference between them.

Fu Zixiao: "..." Is this underestimating her E-cup size? This is simply unacceptable!
