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

Chapter 681, Section 2.5, Chapter 21: The House of Silk and the Dollhouse

Just as Tang Xiuna was preparing to calmly accept his fate of death, a slightly proud and cheerful voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Hey, you over there, how about we make a deal?"

Xin Bai walked gracefully and arrogantly to them with cat-like steps. Her beautiful sandy gold cat eyes were slightly raised. Although she had an air of superiority, she was not annoying at all. Instead, she was like a little kitten pretending to be fierce but acting cute.

Dionysus raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of amusement appearing in his long, narrow, golden phoenix eyes. He then glanced at the calm and expressionless Jafar beside him.

Lanlos's eyes darkened slightly. He put down his teacup, turned to Xin Bai, and said slowly, "She sent you as an intermediary?"

“No, it’s Ming Jin,” Xin Bai corrected.

In fact, just before coming to this instance, Ming Jin specifically instructed him that he must save someone.

This "someone" is not Fernana, but Don Shuna.

According to Ming Jin, Fernana was already a useless pawn, and saving her would be a waste of resources. Tang Xiuna, on the other hand, was different. Given his personality, Tang Xiuna would never sit idly by after his girlfriend's murder. In terms of both mental fortitude and ability, Tang Xiuna's value far exceeded that of Fernana.

In this plan, Fernana's death deserves 80% of the credit. Of course, he did ask why they couldn't save both of them at the same time, but Mingjin's answer to him was that it was impossible.

Because Lanlos also had his own objectives, rescuing someone without the other party's consent was an impossible task. Therefore, he opted to save the person he considered most useful. This deal was beneficial to both parties, so Lanlos had no reason to refuse.

As expected, after hearing Xin Bai say it was Ming Jin, Lan Luo chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll listen. I should always give my own crown prince some face."

Xin Bai snorted and rolled her eyes at Lanlos. "Hmph, hypocrite."

Despite saying that, he still walked over, took out an envelope, and slammed it on the table in front of Lanlos.

"See for yourself. If you agree, I'll take her away," Xin Bai said slowly, recalling what Ming Jin had told him.

Lanlos picked up the envelope and looked at it from both sides. Then he glanced at Tang Xiuna, who was covered in blood and on the verge of death. He didn't open the envelope but simply put it away.

"Take him away," Lanlos said cryptically.

Xin Bai picked up Tang Xiuna and left, but as he passed Lan Luosi, he muttered, "Although his character is questionable, he's straightforward in his actions, so he's not too bad for me."

Lanlos naturally heard Xin Bai's mutterings in their entirety, but he just chuckled softly and said nothing.

Ultimately, in Lanlos's eyes, Xin Bai was nothing more than a cunning little kitten raised by Mu Yegui, posing no threat whatsoever. He had no reason to bother with a little kitten.

"Are we just going to let this cat take the person away like this?" Dionysus suddenly asked.

“There’s nothing wrong with giving Mingjin face. At least he has no reason to refuse my invitation to talk now. This letter he gave me is also his answer to me. He is ready and available at any time.” Lanlos slowly stood up and said as he walked.

"The Seer knows the Seer best. He wanted to test me, so I used the Three-Colored Mirror Palace to warn him, but he had prepared a reply in advance because he chose to reshuffle the cards. He's frighteningly cold-blooded, but he's definitely the most suitable collaborator for me."

Dionysus paused slightly, falling behind the two. He raised his narrow, golden phoenix eyes and gazed at Lanlos's back with a complex expression, finally letting out a sneer to dispel any other emotions.

He said lazily, "I'm going to have a drink." "Wait." Lanlos called out to Dionysus, his long silver hair swaying gently as he walked. He touched the white lisianthus olive branch crown on his head with one hand, and suddenly his fingers paused slightly.

Her silver eyes were cold and ruthless, and her exquisitely beautiful face was like that of a god descended to earth, indifferent to the world.

"You should still remember your duties, shouldn't you?" Lanlos said slowly.

Dionysus narrowed his eyes, then lowered them and said softly, "How could I forget? After all, it was me..."

Before Dionysus could finish speaking, Lanlos interrupted, "That's enough, go."

the other side.

After taking Tang Xiuna out, Xin Bai casually threw him on the ground, as if he were throwing away trash.

Tang Xiuna fell to the ground, his eyes still filled with confusion and pain, his chapped lips murmuring, "Nana..."

“She’s dead,” Xin Bai said, looking down at Tang Xiuna.

"I don't believe it." Tang Xiuna stumbled to his feet and said to Xin Bai with certainty, "Nana can't just die like this."

"Stop deceiving yourself. You saw her die with your own eyes." Xin Bai curled his lip, his face full of disgust.

“Indeed, I saw her die with my own eyes, but knowing Lazy as I do, he must have had a backup plan. He wouldn’t have killed Nana so easily.” Tang Xiuna murmured, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in his beautiful dark purple eyes after a moment of emptiness.

"Help me!" He turned to Xin Bai and said firmly, "I want to see Ming Jin. I can accept being used by him or whatever, as long as I can see Lazy again."

Those beautiful, dark purple eyes were fixed on Xin Bai, as if looking through him at something, their depths filled with darkness and devoid of any color.

"Nana is definitely still alive. I want to bring her back myself," Tang Xiu said coldly, lowering his eyes.

Xin Bai frowned, looking at Tang Xiuna with incomprehension. He couldn't understand why Tang Xiuna was so insistent on the fact that Fernana was still alive, even though it was clearly unnecessary.

"What if we can't save him?" Xin Bai asked.

He thought Tang Xiuna's idea was too naive. How could the enemy possibly show mercy? If they really would, his race wouldn't have been slaughtered to the point where only he was left. He only survived because his family buried him so the enemy couldn't sense him.

“Then I will kill her with my own hands, and die with her. This time, I will not leave her alone.” Tang Xiuna said slowly, then turned and stumbled toward the exit.

Xin Bai watched Tang Xiuna's disheveled yet determined back, remaining silent. He didn't know how to evaluate Tang Xiuna. Humans are truly complex creatures, and even now he couldn't understand them.

He paused for a few seconds, then took out his phone and said, "Mingjin, you all heard that, right? Well then, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll continue with the dungeon."

Xin Bai: The big cat gave up thinking.

Xin Bai was referring to "you all," implying that Ming Jin, Dao Lin, Shui Qi, and others had listened to the entire meeting via public phone call.
