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

Chapter 566 2.1 The Crown Prince (Thirteen)
An orange, evil pumpkin head popped out. He was wearing an orange jumpsuit and carrying a small bag. He swaggered in, and a step behind him was a very richly dressed 'little devil'. As he walked, his devil tail kept swaying.

Shui Qi looked up and saw two 'demons and monsters' walk in, and her lips twitched slightly.

Before he could finish speaking, a bag was thrown at his face.

The pumpkin man reached out and removed his head, revealing slightly damp white hair and a delicate, beautiful face. His icy blue eyes swept over the crowd, and he raised an eyebrow slightly as he explained, "I just came back from the Halloween party at the Perfect Food Kingdom."

Bertias removed the devil horn hair clips from his hands, and when he slightly raised his eyes, he saw Lan Xiao staring motionlessly at the tail behind him, her face even flushed, and the butterflies around her were flying especially happily.

Bertias: "..."

He reached out and hooked his belt buckle, then casually tugged, and the tail fell to the ground.

Then he saw a hint of disappointment flash across those emerald eyes, as if they were very sorry that they could no longer see his 'tail'.

His expression remained unchanged, still maintaining a faint smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking that after not seeing him for many days, he felt that Lan Xiao had changed a lot, and that look in his eyes gave him a strange feeling that he wanted to devour him.

"What's this?" Shui Qi asked, rummaging through his pockets. He smelled food.

"Chocolate-flavored taiyaki," Dao Lin said slowly.

Shui Qi took it out of the food bag, observed it carefully for a few seconds, then poked its head out and tried to bite it, but just as it opened its mouth, it heard Bertias's eerie voice.

"I took a laxative."

Shui Qi closed his mouth again, his face blank as he looked up at Bertias.

Bertias calmly returned Shui Qi's gaze; the two were evenly matched, neither willing to yield.

Shui Qi narrowed her long, blue eyes and continued to look at Bertias. Bertias returned the gaze without hesitation. The two remained silent, each trying to kill the other with their eyes.

After a few minutes, Bertias slowly uttered the next sentence, "...No."

Shui Qi still looked at Bertias, indicating disbelief.

Dao Lin gave the two of them a 'childish' look and said, "I bought this from the taiyaki stand at the Halloween celebration party in the Food Kingdom. It's been in my hand ever since it was made. At what step do you think Bell could have put the drug in it? It's not like he made it."

Shui Qi gave Dao Lin a deep look, then took a bite of the taiyaki fish head, as if she were really biting Beltias's head.

Bertias: "..." How childish! He's not a real fish, so the seafood reference just won't go away, right?

“I don’t think you should have bought him taiyaki, especially chocolate ones. He’ll get old-fashioned diabetes sooner or later.” Beltias turned around, took a room key, and walked out without giving Lan Xiao a second glance, as if he had never existed.

"Daolin~ What about mine~" Mingjin nodded at Daolin, signaling him to hand it over voluntarily.

Dao Lin took out another bag and handed it to the twins, saying, "Creamy Lemon."

"Huh? I hate lemons the most." Mingxi said with a pained expression.

Dao Lin was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Isn't lemon flavor your favorite? It was even mentioned in the Crown Prince's Express not long ago."

Mingxi angrily chewed on the tail of the taiyaki and said, "I used to like it, but ever since I turned into a lemon spirit, lemons are what I hate the most!" "Ignore him, he's acting crazy." Mingjin glanced at Mingxi and said disdainfully.

Mingxi: "..." Heh, what a fake brotherhood.

At this moment, the little chubby bird on Ling Tong's shoulder was observing them curiously. It seemed to have been a little tired earlier, and now it stood obediently without making a sound.

"Who else hasn't arrived yet?" Mizuki asked casually, glancing around with a chocolate taiyaki in her mouth.

“Mu Yegui and Fernana, the former likes to scout out locations, and the latter is probably arriving soon,” Ming Jin said while eating. According to what he saw, Fernana would appear soon.

Bertias walked in, wiping her face with a handkerchief. The scales around her eyes were still visible because they hadn't dried properly. She had changed her clothes and was now wearing her original gray cloak.

"Isn't Daolin going to change his clothes?" Bertias asked, glancing at the orange jumpsuit Daolin was still wearing.

Dao Lin glanced down at the zipper on his chest, and without hesitation unzipped it, revealing the clothes he was originally wearing.

"Just take it off. I chose this outfit because I thought it would be easy to take off and I wouldn't have to change clothes." Dao Lin carried the bodysuit in one hand and the evil pumpkin head in the other, turning around to go back to his room to put them back.

Bertiasmer, I see. No wonder he chose this outfit. He really has the mindset of a straight man. He doesn't care about aesthetics at all, only practicality. However, he doesn't think this outfit and hood are convenient to move around in. At most, they are convenient to take off.

With a 'thud,' Dao Lin bumped into someone walking towards him as soon as he stepped out. He took a few steps back before looking at her.

His pale, bloodless face was calm and indifferent, yet lifeless, like a walking corpse. His thin lips were painted with red lipstick, but they looked haggard because of his pale complexion.

A black veil partially concealed her exquisite and beautiful face, adding a touch of mystery. She slightly raised her eyes to look at Dao Lin, whom she had bumped into. Her eyes contained a hint of self-loathing and vicissitude. It seemed that her heart had long been dead, and she was just a shell living on.

Although she was wearing a long black gauze dress, she exuded a strong smell of blood, and the sound of cold chains scraping could be heard as she walked.

"This strong smell of blood... I don't believe there aren't at least a hundred dead." Ji Rong narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes, the smile on his face gradually disappearing. He stared coldly at Felna and suddenly spoke.

"What right do you have to criticize me?" Fernna looked up at Ji Rong and said coldly.

Ji Rong shrugged and didn't answer Fernna. After all, they were the same kind of people. However, compared to Fernna's immature methods, he preferred to play dirty tricks.

“Ferna, I remember telling you not to act so extremely. Don’t you think you have too many enemies now?” Moya frowned and disagreed. “Even Shui Qi doesn’t have as many enemies as you.”

At least Shui Qi knew that he should only offend the higher-ups; he wouldn't even bother looking at those second-rate players.

Shui Qi raised an eyebrow and looked at Mo Ya. Is it really appropriate to use the vice president of one's own association as a comparison?

Moya received a look from Shui Qi and subconsciously touched her nose, thinking that she didn't seem to have said anything wrong.

Nightingale-Ferna

The next chapter will be the last one to feature the Crown Prince, and then we'll get straight to the main topic of the meeting.
