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

Chapter 390, 1.25, 13: The Rabbit Duke's Crazy Tea Party
"No, no... this is the only one I can get, and besides, it's not very pretty. It's not good enough for my golden radish, especially for someone as cute and clever as you," Lianqiao exclaimed.
"...But I don't think I can hold onto it for long." Lian Qiao said, as if she had thought of something.

"Sigh," she sighed, "If I were to give it to you, would you help me clear the dungeon?"

However, Mu Yin focused on the first sentence and completely ignored what followed.

He frowned and asked in confusion, "Don't all golden radishes look the same?"

"None of the golden radishes are as pretty as you," Lianqiao quickly praised.

"Then I'm not qualified to have the golden carrot?" Mu Yin raised an eyebrow, his expression showing a hint of displeasure.

"No, no." Lian Qiao shook her head, beads of cold sweat dripping from her forehead. "...Here you go."

At this moment, Shui Qi, who had been lagging behind, finally caught up and heard this sentence. He chuckled and said, "So you really were planning to rob me..."

Lian Qiao found the voice strangely familiar. She turned her head and looked closely, her expression changing slightly. She subconsciously exclaimed, "Ah...you're the one who tricked me! Ugh, am I really cursed?"

Lian Qiao sighed softly. She had encountered two formidable individuals at the same time, and she couldn't afford to offend either of them, as they both seemed to hold grudges.

"This guy?" Mu Yin looked at Shui Qi with a half-smile, then teased, "Shui Qi, have you stooped to bullying little girls? Hahaha, how embarrassing!"

Shui Qi thought to herself, 'At least it's much better than your blatant robbery. At least he just didn't want to reveal his information, while you were directly bullying him.'

However, this was just what he thought in his heart; he couldn't possibly say it out loud.

Mu Yin is the kind of guy who can easily turn his back on someone; he can't beat him.

His long, narrow blue eyes gazed quietly at Lian Qiao. A gentle smile played on his lips as he softly asked, "I'm sorry, I left in a bit of a hurry and didn't have time to tell you my name. Can you forgive me?"

Lian Qiao looked at that handsome face, her cheeks flushed, and she nodded subconsciously. Then, realizing what she had done, she was inwardly furious. Here we go again! Why was she completely unable to move when she saw this person?

Okay, she admitted that the man was very good-looking and charming, but that did not change the fact that he was a dangerous person. From the moment they met, she felt this subtle sense of unease and the smile that never reached his eyes.

Knowing something is one thing, saying it is another.

Even though she knew she should be wary of this guy, she felt unwell as soon as she saw him, like she had a fever and her head was spinning. She believed whatever he said.

“Tell me your name now, that’s fine too,” Lian Qiao said softly.

“Shui Qi,” he said with a light laugh.

“Water seems to be a very rare surname in the Empire,” Lian Qiao said subconsciously, then suddenly covered her mouth.

She accidentally revealed it. Although I really wanted to know more about her, wanting to know is one thing, asking her is another.

Shui Qi's smile remained unchanged, even deepening slightly. He looked at her with a light laugh, without answering her.

"Isn't the Shui family one of the affiliated families of the imperial family? They serve the imperial family exclusively and are responsible for intelligence gathering..." Mu Yin glanced at the two of them and gave Shui Qi a direct answer.

“These are secrets that even the media doesn’t know,” Shui Qi said slowly, looking at Mu Yin with a light smile.

Perhaps it was because he wanted to put on a serious face, but instead, he involuntarily put on a smile. His facial expressions were completely beyond his control, and sometimes his thought process would change drastically. He hadn't originally planned to say those words. "My expressionless ex-boyfriend is a member of the royal family. Of course I know that. It's not a secret." Mu Yin snorted coldly, feeling extremely annoyed just thinking about it.

Unfortunately, he was asleep at the time and couldn't stop it at all. Fortunately, it's pretty much a breakup now.

In any case, it's impossible for that Crown Prince to abandon the Empire and come here, unless he's out of his mind. But if he were out of his mind, he wouldn't be the Crown Prince of the Empire.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is that the Crown Prince sent someone instead of coming in person.

Surprisingly, Shui Qi fell silent, seemingly realizing that she had forgotten many things.

Most people have forgotten everything about the outside world after being in it for so long, but the Crown Prince's forgetting process was accelerated even further; Shui Qi couldn't even remember 90% of what he knew.

But for some reason, it didn't have much effect on Mu Yin. It had some influence, but only a little. He could remember most things clearly.

Perhaps he is the only one in the world who is so clear-headed.

He once asked Mu Yegui who Ji Qiu was, but Mu Yegui couldn't answer at all. Mu Yin, however, knew very well that Ji Qiu was the name of the Crown Prince of the Empire, and that only fewer than five people outside the empire knew it.

Mu Yegui was one of them, but she had forgotten even that.

Others rarely mentioned anything about the outside world anymore, and the conversations were reduced to what was happening in this world.

Lian Qiao listened quietly. For a moment, she felt that Shui Qi was terrifying, but that feeling quickly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Mu Yin wanted her golden carrot, and Shui Qi would never approach her without a reason.

So, both of them actually wanted her golden carrot.

She could give it to any of them, but that's the problem. There's only one golden carrot, and giving it to anyone would be extremely unfair, and it even feels like it could lead to a bloodbath.

Shui Qi already has a golden carrot, but Mu Yin doesn't. Giving it to Mu Yin is fine, but she's hesitant about giving it to Shui Qi.

As she thought about it, she rolled the dice and moved forward according to the '3' mark, completely unaware of what color the square under her feet was.

[Ding-dong! Two personalities triggered! Automatically filters for the nearest player.]

[The closest player to the current player is Shui Qi.]

Before Lian Qiao could react, Shui Qi was already standing on the same grid as her.

It's fine if one person stands in one square, but it's a bit crowded if two people share one square, and you can even touch each other's limbs with the slightest movement.

But it was only when she got this close that she realized how tall he really was, and how well-proportioned he was, without a trace of thinness.

Lian Qiao blushed and carefully moved to the side, but because she took too big a step, her body swayed slightly and her back pressed against Shui Qi's hard chest.

In that instant, a series of screams, "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" flashed through my mind.
