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

Chapter 553, Section 2.1: Schemes
Opening my eyes, I saw familiar yet utterly unfamiliar ruins. Candles were burning, their flames flickering but showing no sign of going out.

“I’m back.” Bertias turned to look at the huge mural in front of him and let out a long sigh.

"What happened to the big battle we were promised?" Shui Qi asked, his lips twitching slightly.

Daolin yawned lazily, slightly lifting his eyelids, and said sleepily, "Haa~ It would be easier to deal with if I kidnapped you, since the goal is to save Pounez anyway."

“Indeed, as the commander, if I disappear, all those skeletons will fall apart, but how do you know about this?” Shui Qi sneered.

"Because there's no core. The skeletons I encountered before clearly had cores that provided them with energy, and back then, as long as the core was broken, they would turn into dust and dissipate. But this time, they didn't, so I speculate that they are controlled by a medium group. This makes them easy to control but also easy to destroy. There's no need to break each core one by one; you just need to destroy the medium."

Shui Qi's lips twitched slightly. He was too lazy to ask how he knew. Anyway, he had it in his hand and Mu Yegui had seen it. It was an easy thing for Mu Yegui's eyesight to do.

"Then I'll head back first. The Crown Prince's meeting is in a day or two. Remember to attend on time. We'll discuss things together at the meeting." Shui Qi took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number as she walked forward.

Upon their return, they were forced to revert to their original attire before entering the instance. Of course, all items that disappeared within the instance would also return upon exiting, effectively separating the inside from the outside.

"Xiaoxiao? I'm out. Send someone to pick me up. Also, take care of the tail so it doesn't get discovered..." Shui Qi walked out while listening to the phone.

Bertias frowned slightly upon hearing a certain address, but quickly regained his composure.

"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap now. Goodnight everyone." Dao Lin said lazily as he slowly walked forward, yawning.

"Wait, I'll go with you, so you don't oversleep and can't wake up," Bertias said, catching up with him and walking alongside him.

"Whatever, as long as it's not because you're trying to avoid someone you find troublesome." Daolin glanced at Bertias with his icy blue eyes and exposed him.

“There’s no one I care about. You’re overthinking it,” Bertias urged.

The remaining Noyce and Muye returned to where they were.

Noyce frowned and asked, "Do you have somewhere to go?"

“Yes, the apostle is waiting for me outside.” Mu Yegui nodded.

For some reason, Noyce felt a little disappointed. He sighed softly and said, "Then I'll head back now. See you at the meeting."

"Hmm." Mu Yegui nodded, his cool silver eyes fixed on Noyce's departing figure until he turned the corner and disappeared from sight before he looked away.

She turned her head to look at the huge mural, her expression calm, but with a hint of darkness in her eyes.

"I've been tricked..." she murmured, her tone, which should have been devoid of emotion, now carrying a hint of cold killing intent, giving off a strangely bloodthirsty terror.

Light footsteps came from outside, growing closer and closer.

A deep, pleasant, and alluring voice reached his ears, carrying a hint of seduction, "Does Master want to cooperate?" Mu Yegui raised his eyes to look at Jealousy, who had returned to his original form and was no longer Jafar, and slowly said, "Now we can only continue to cooperate, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to beat up Lanlos."

"Go ahead and fight, I want to fight too. He tricked me out of the dungeon." Jealousy snorted coldly.

"A repulsion phenomenon caused by spatial oscillation?" Mu Yegui asked.

"Well, I accidentally got serious with that dragon, and then for some reason Lanlos appeared nearby and used something, and then everything went black before my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I was already outside. Did that guy already grasp a trace of the rules back then?" Jealousy frowned as he spoke, his expression serious.

"Can we still go in?" Mu Yegui raised an eyebrow and asked.

Jealousy shook his head. He tried to go back in after coming out, but found that the instance directly refused his entry.

"Go back first. We need to attend the Crown Prince's meeting tomorrow and the day after, so we need to prepare a bit." Mu Yegui lifted her foot to walk forward, but was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by jealousy.

"I want to go too." Her dark orange eyes were fixed on Mu Yegui, as if she wouldn't let go until she agreed.

"As one of the seven giants and the biggest boss of the entertainment kingdom, how can you be worthy of your status as a big shot by pestering an ordinary crown prince to attend the crown prince meeting as a spy?" Mu Yegui bluntly asked, his cold silver eyes looking back at the jealous man.

"Can't we bring apostles? I'm also the master's apostle, the closest apostle, aren't I?" Jealousy's lips curled slightly as she spoke those three words in a very ambiguous way, her fingertips caressing the bone ring on Mu Yegui's left index finger as she chuckled.

Mu Yegui lifted his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Do you have some misunderstanding about the meaning of the three words 'closest'?"

"I've given you my ribs, aren't we intimate enough?" Jealousy bent down slightly, getting closer to Mu Yegui. His dark hair and misty gray hair intertwined. He gently touched Mu Yegui's forehead and said in a very ambiguous way.

His deep, melodious voice carried a seductive quality, as alluring as a demon from hell.

Mu Yegui, without changing his expression, stretched out a finger to push away the jealous man's forehead, seemingly already used to his physical advances and forming a coherent set of reactions.

"Take this to Sher and say it. If you don't get your leg broken tomorrow, I'll consider it," Mu Yegui said coldly, glancing at Jealousy.

She sighed with envy and regret, saying, "Mommy Xie won't break my legs, but she will cut off my source of income. It feels like I'm going to have to live a frugal life of eating and drinking wherever I can find food again. I'd better prepare to go to the Food Kingdom to freeload."

As an all-around perfect idol, can't you have even a little ambition?
"Who did Master originally plan to take? Jafar? He came later, so why did Master abandon me as soon as he arrived? I'm clearly prettier than him, and I'm better than him in every way." Jealousy followed behind Mu Yegui and said aggrievedly.

Mu Yegui paused slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Perhaps it's because he's quieter."

Jealousy fell silent, and Mu Yegui felt a sense of peace.

When I first encountered jealousy, it was a very aloof presence. Why has it become like a leech now?

"What a pity. If Master says he is better than me, then I'd better kill him..." A hint of killing intent flashed in his dark orange eyes as he said coldly in a low voice.
