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

Chapter 495, page 2.1-22: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
Her long, curled, misty gray eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her cool, silver eyes.

Mu Yegui slowly sat up and looked down at his hands.

Was it a dream...?

It seems to be the scene of Mu Yin's first encounter with Nalan Xu. At that time, she was still deep in slumber and had not yet awakened, so she had no memory of this moment. But why would she suddenly dream of this scene?

What did Nalan Xu say to Mu Yin in the end?
Because it wasn't a memory she had seen, and Mu Yin seemed to think it wasn't very important, the impression was rather vague.

"What are you doing in my room?" Mu Yegui turned his head slightly and looked at Bertias sitting at the table next to him, and asked softly.

Bertias took a few steps forward, his blue-gray eyes fixed on her, and asked, "Something came up. Did I disturb your rest?"

"No." Mu Yegui got up, jumped out of bed, and walked to the window. A gentle breeze blew through her fluffy, soft, misty gray hair. She looked out at the distant street, her expression as calm as ever.

"From what I've observed, things around the capital have been a bit unsettled lately, something is stirring up trouble..." These past few days, whenever he went out, he always felt someone watching him from the shadows, but no matter how vigilant he was, he couldn't stop them.

"You mean the unknown surveillance?" Mu Yegui glanced at Bertias, who was sitting on the windowsill, enjoying the slightly warm breeze.

“If only it were that simple.” Bertias frowned and said, “The entire capital is the king’s domain, so how did this special gaze intrude? Unless it was in the capital from the beginning, but even then, would the king know about it?”

"He doesn't know that this gaze only exists outside the palace, and if that arrogant and lecherous dragon knew, it would have wiped it out long ago," Mu Yegui said, shaking his head.

No sooner had the words left their mouths than a deep, slightly arrogant male voice rang in their ears, "Who are you calling an arrogant and lecherous dragon? Do you think I can't hear you talking bad about me from your room? Get up here now!"

Bertias: "..." Can you hear that?
"A king of your stature eavesdropping? Don't you feel ashamed?" Mu Yegui glanced back at the palace above the window and said calmly.

"The one who speaks ill of me behind my back and gets caught by the person involved should be ashamed. Get up here now, I'll give you one minute to get on your way," the king said with a cold snort.

“One minute? I haven’t even changed my clothes yet, and you’re on the top floor. Even if you run up the stairs at top speed, it will take three minutes.” Mu Yegui glanced down at his pajamas and said.

"Idiot, it's not like you're a young girl in love meeting your sweetheart. What's wrong with what clothes you wear? With your flat chest, I don't even want to look at you. Hurry up and get up here. There are 50 seconds left."

Mu Yegui narrowed his cold, silver eyes and said cryptically, "You said it, don't regret it." His bare feet stepped onto the yellow brick windowsill. Mu Yegui crouched down, then jumped up with all his might, causing the windowsill to collapse from the force.

Bertias was covered in dust and smoke. He stood in front of the half-collapsed wall, his face blackened. His long, blue-gray hair fell slowly down. He remained silent, his calm expression like the prelude to an impending storm.

Wang looked at Mu Yegui, who had broken through the wall and entered from the outside, his golden vertical pupils carrying a hint of coldness, and said, "Fool, I didn't ask you to break through the wall. Don't you think my construction team is busy enough?"

"You said you'd be up in a minute, but how can you arrive on time if you don't come from outside? Please use your simple brain to think about the stupid things you've said." Mu Yegui patted his outstretched pajamas and said coldly.

"Noyce, look at this fool! He's made a mistake and he still dares to talk back to me!" The king turned to look at the person who was bending over to move a clay slab and accused him. The white-robed youth named Noyce glanced at the king with a cryptic look and said, "Weren't you quite happy?" After saying that, he picked up the clay slab that was almost as tall as himself and walked out.

Wang: "..." I didn't tell you to say that!
The king reached out and slightly covered his thin lips, saying, "Ahem, in short, I didn't bring you up here because I wanted to see you. I have an important matter to entrust to you."

Mu Yegui turned his head to the side and said, "I refuse. I am not your subject."

"You're eating and drinking for free here and don't want to work?" The king said unhappily, his golden vertical pupils narrowing slightly.

"Let me remind you, this isn't a free meal or drink; I'm paying for it. And you're staying at the palace because you lost the bet—to be precise, it's my payment." Although the money belonged to Dionysus, it wasn't the free meal and drink that this lecherous dragon claimed.

The king snorted and said shamelessly, "Since you are now living in my territory, you are my subjects. What's wrong with doing something for me?"

Mu Yegui glanced at Wang and asked softly, "So, what about the reward?"

Neuss carried the new mud tablets up and overheard this conversation as soon as he entered.

"You've destroyed so many of my buildings, and instead of admitting your guilt and repenting, you even want compensation?" The king slammed his hand on the throne guard and roared.

"Excuse my bluntness, but you struck first. I was only defending myself." And the result was a draw. In fact, the one who caused the most damage to the building was this lewd dragon, not her.

He placed the clay tablets beside the king, then swept his dark purple eyes over the two men and said, "Please spare the poor engineers; they don't want to overwork themselves to death over such trivial matters."

The king said coldly, "Fool, I have no intention of fighting with this idiot."

Noyce chuckled softly and said quietly, "Don't explain. Actually, you do want to, but please consider the consequences carefully. There are still many official matters to be completed today. You don't have time to play around."

Wang: "..." He should have replaced this assistant who only knew how to sabotage him a long time ago.

"In short, I order you to investigate the surrounding cities for any signs of the undead. If you find any, report back to me immediately. If you want to take Bertias with you, go ahead. I don't need him for the time being. Understand? If you understand, then get out of here." The king waved his hand dismissively.

"Then, after I return, I will go back to your treasure vault to retrieve the three items I desire as a reward. My apologies." Mu Yegui nodded to the king, then walked out without looking back.

I had just stepped out the door when I heard a loud crash, as if something had collapsed.

The legendary argument between elementary school students.
