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

Chapter 482, page 2.1-11: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
A ray of light gradually rose from the dark sky, illuminating the dim earth little by little and awakening the sleeping creatures.

Mu Yegui stood on the high platform, quietly watching the sun rise. A gentle breeze swept by, lifting the black veil draped over her head with a soft touch, and the gold ornaments rubbed together, making a crisp sound.

Sitting beside her was a boy who looked to be only about fifteen years old. He reeked of alcohol and seemed to be intoxicated. He slightly lifted his long, narrow, golden eyes, which held a hint of drunken confusion.

"Ha~" he yawned and said lazily, "Good morning."

His aura was languid yet carried a hint of cold detachment, perfectly embodying the lofty and superior nature of a deity.

"Are you sober now?" Mu Yegui turned his head slightly to look at Dionysus and asked.

"No, I'm a little dizzy, and I probably won't wake up for a while," Dionysus said, frowning and rubbing his forehead.

"Will it hinder our operation?" Mu Yegui asked again.

“No, that won’t happen, after all, my divine nature is that of the god of wine.” Dionysus shook his head, yawned lazily, and said slowly.

This appearance is very similar to the Dionysus that Mu Yegui is familiar with, the only difference being that he is still very young at this moment.

In the distance, a griffin procession led the prisoners along the road, slowly making its way toward the execution ground.

"Just cover for me, you don't need to act together." Mu Yegui said casually before jumping off the platform.

He landed easily from the platform, which was tens of meters high. The ground only cracked and sank a little, but Mu Yegui was completely unharmed.

She stood in front of the griffin team's inevitable path, quietly watching them approach her.

The lead griffin was larger and more imposing than any of the others in the group. Lin Ya, sitting atop it, could see the petite Mu Yegui not far away. Her long, dark hair swayed gently in the breeze, and her handsome, flawless face appeared even more mysterious and unpredictable due to the black blindfold covering her eyes.

In the middle of the group were four people, including Laki, who were bound by chains. Each of them held an iron chain and rode on a griffin, pulling them forward. Their clothes were extremely tattered, and their bare feet were covered in blood, leaving a long trail of blood as they walked.

Mu Yegui placed her hands behind her back, her long black dress shimmering in the sunlight, adorned with gold decorations. The black veil on her head swayed slightly, adding a touch of dreamlike beauty.

She gave off an extremely delicate feeling; her exquisite and beautiful face was covered by a black veil, revealing a pair of clear, cold silver eyes that gazed quietly ahead.

Suddenly she moved and gave the griffin team a very elegant bow.

Lin Ya frowned slightly, suddenly sensing something was wrong. Before he could speak, he felt a gust of wind blow by, followed by his companion's scream.

Mu Yegui stood in the ranks, surrounded by fallen soldiers, their crimson blood gradually staining the ground red, yet she remained untouched by any stains.

"Can you give them to me?" Mu Yegui tilted his head and asked softly.

Her thin, frail, and seemingly harmless body belied a terrifying power that no one could have imagined. Even though she had killed eight people in an instant, it was still impossible to connect her with what had just happened. Her soft, childlike voice was devoid of any emotion; she spoke like an innocent child asking an adult a question, yet it sent chills down one's spine.

The short sword at his waist remained securely sheathed throughout, showing no sign of being drawn.

"Monster!!" Someone suddenly shouted, and a sense of panic instantly filled the surrounding area.

A gentle breeze swept by, and Mu Yegui slightly shifted his body, casually catching the attack from behind, then kicked the attacker away. His movements were effortless and controlled, clearly showing he didn't take anyone seriously.

Soldiers charged at her with guns. She slightly raised her eyes, her cool silver eyes casually glancing at the four people in the distance, pondering how to seize them in the fastest and most convenient way, and then leave with them.

Because they move slowly, they need to find a suitable route.

While she was thinking and calculating how to escape with her four children, she fought with the soldiers. However, due to the vast difference in strength, the soldiers could not even withstand a single blow from her and all fell to the ground.

Lin Ya frowned slightly as she observed Mu Yegui's fighting style, but did not immediately rush forward to attack.

"Aren't you going to join the fight?" Lin Ya asked, looking at Beltias who was standing to the side, seemingly unwilling to fight forward.

Bertias shrugged and said helplessly, "Should I go up there and die now? Of course, I'd rather wait until she takes those four burdens away before trying to take them. After all, the king only said she was taking prisoners; I don't need to fight her head-on. I know my own strength; I can't beat her anyway."

Lin Ya: "..." Although he had the same idea, he felt it was a bit shameless for Bertias to say it.

After witnessing Mu Yegui's strength, Lin Ya did not intend to make a move against her immediately. After all, the sun had just risen, and the game would only truly begin after she had abducted Mu Yegui.

That was exactly what Wang was planning; otherwise, he wouldn't have said it wouldn't end until the next sunrise.

Bertias remained hidden in the crowd, but his blue-gray eyes caught a glimpse of a white figure. He frowned slightly; it must be Dao Lin.

"Aren't you going to stop me?" Mu Yegui paused slightly as she led the four of them past Lin Ya, looked up at him, and asked.

“There’s still a long time before it ends, so hide them while you can. Wang Ke never said we can’t kill prisoners, and today is their execution day anyway. When we meet later, I will kill them without hesitation,” Lin Ya said coldly.

Mu Yegui nodded thoughtfully, without answering Lin Ya's question. This person was very strong, and if he made a move, she wasn't sure she could leave with her people immediately.

The main reason was that she was also considering that she would be in contact with Wang later, so she couldn't act rashly now. Just as Wang said, this was just a game, and who would take a game seriously?
"Are you really just going to let them go like that?" Bertias raised an eyebrow, surprised.

Lin Ya was clearly a confidant of the king, so why did he let him go so easily?
"The King said this is just a game. All I did was make it easier for him to have fun. Since he's still interested, I can't let this game end so quickly," Lin Ya said slowly, watching their departing figures.

So it wasn't that Lin Ya chose to go easy on the game; rather, he did it so that the king could enjoy the game more.
