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

Chapter 693, Sections 2.5-32: The House of Silk and the Dollhouse (Dream)

"Hmm... what's it called, Salanchi White Spider?" Xin Bai tilted his head, frowned, and looked troubled.

Lanlos, with a calm expression, corrected, "It's the Saqilan White Spider, isn't it?"

Xin Bai nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! That's it!"

“The Sachilan White Spider, the mother of all spiders, is quite a troublesome creature,” Lanlos murmured, his expression remaining calm and his true emotions unfathomable.

"Isn't there anyone guarding Eden? How come anyone can just walk in?" Xin Bai muttered to himself, pursing his lips.

Lanlos glanced at Xin Bai as if he were an idiot, and asked in return, "What do you think?"

Xin Bai shrugged and said with a grin, "That's definitely not the case."

Lanlos reached out and pulled out a strand of hair, playing with it as he said thoughtfully, "Eden can only be entered with a key; otherwise, you'll see something completely different. Ipha is my administrator; it would be abnormal if he didn't have the key."

“But…” Xin Bai frowned, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Lanlos.

Lanlos glanced at Xin Bai and warned, "I'm not jealous that guy changes administrators every week. It's a very important position, and I won't punish Ifa unless he makes a serious mistake."

"He entered the Garden of Eden without your permission and took things out of it. Isn't that a big mistake?" Xin Bai didn't understand. If this wasn't a big mistake, then what would be? He had a feeling that Lanlos would protect Ipha.

Lanlos shook his head and said softly, "This is a matter that requires the Tribunal to decide; it's not something you should worry about."

"Anyway, this is your mistake, and we can't pay for it." With her long, fluffy tail swaying gently behind her, Xin Bai crossed her arms and stared intently at Lanlos with her sandy-gold cat eyes, speaking slowly.

"What do you want?" Lanlos asked calmly.

“You deal with this spider,” Xin Bai said, taking a few steps toward Lanlos.

The latter raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure?"

Xin Bai nodded, "Of course."

Upon receiving Xin Bai's reply, Lan Luos unexpectedly fell silent.

Xin Bai frowned and urged, "Do we still need to think about this?"

After a few minutes, Lanlos slowly stood up and walked to Xin Bai. As he walked around Xin Bai, he said softly, "The Sachilan White Spider feeds on desire. Whether it is parasitizing another person or not, it will immediately turn to the person whose desire is stronger than its host. It is easy to lure it out; just make your desire stronger than its host's."

"Desire? What type do you mean?" Xin Bai turned to look at Lanlos and asked.

Lanlos nodded and smiled, "Everything, whether it's the urgent desire to kill someone, obtain someone, or anything else, falls within the realm of desire. Simply put, it's emotion, incredibly strong emotion, which is similar to the creation of the True Gem."

As Xin Bai pondered, he articulated his understanding, "So, if I had desires and emotions even stronger than the puppeteer's, I could lure out that spider, right?" He used "I" because Xin Bai was very clear about one thing. Mu Yegui had no emotions, Ling Tong was reserved and wouldn't easily reveal his feelings, and Fei was even less likely to possess any strong emotions. Excluding these three, it seemed that the only one he could think of was himself.

But how can one develop a strong desire?

His greatest anger stemmed from the annihilation of his clan; he couldn't think of anything else that could ignite his intense desires and emotions.

"Hmm." Lanlos nodded, then asked in surprise, "You want to do it yourself?" He thought Xin Bai would tell Ling Tong and let Ling Tong do it. After all, destroying the crown prince of a gourmet kingdom like this would be a good thing for him. He just didn't expect that Xin Bai, this little cat, would actually do it himself.

Xin Bai tilted his head, puzzled, and said, "Yeah, after all, it's a bit unrealistic to expect others to do this, and I'm not a cat who likes to shirk responsibility. Since I can do it, why should I ask for help from others? If I'm in a difficult position, won't they be in a difficult position too? Besides, I also know very well that such strong desires and emotions are definitely not a good thing, so I'll do this myself."

"As long as you don't regret it." Lanlos closed his eyes, looking like he didn't want to talk to him.

"How could I possibly regret it! Tell me what to do!" Xin Bai reached out and tugged at Lanlos's sleeve, asking.

Lanlos casually tugged at his sleeve, then pointed in a certain direction and said, "Go up from here, count to the 13th door, then push it open and go in."

"That's all?" Xin Bai blinked, not expecting it to be so simple.

"That's all, but..." Lanlos said calmly.

"I'm going!" Xin Bai turned and ran in the direction Lanlos had gone before Lanlos could finish speaking.

Lanlos stopped speaking when he saw Xin Bai run away, leaving the words he hadn't finished. He simply watched Xin Bai's departing figure, watching him disappear bit by bit, finally leaving behind only a profound sigh, "No matter how many detours one takes, do they all ultimately lead to the same destination...?"

But whatever, the goal has been achieved, so nothing else matters.

So Lanlos was about to leave when he turned around and saw someone who shouldn't be there. He was slightly taken aback, and then looked at him with a complicated expression.

"How much did you hear?"

"Just arrived," Ling Tong said softly, lowering her eyes.

His long, dark red hair was loosely braided into a three-strand braid that cascaded down his shoulders. The crimson at the corners of his eyes remained dazzling. Ling Tong didn't look at Lan Luosi, or rather, he rarely looked directly at strangers. It wasn't arrogance; he was simply shy and unable to look at strangers.

Lanlos observed Ling Tong, then suddenly laughed, completely disbelieving Ling Tong's words. He simply reminded her, "It's not too late to chase after them now. Do you want to leave Xin Bai, a cat, to face this alone?"

Ling Tong frowned, looked up at Lanlos for a few seconds, saw him nod to the latter, and then turned and chased after him.

Lanlos reached out and removed the laurel wreath from his head, placing it on his chest and bowing to Ling Tong's departing figure. A slight smile gradually crept onto his usually calm lips.

"Yes~ we have to catch up, otherwise how can this show continue if it's just Xin Bai alone? If we're going to fall into darkness, we should go together. The more united you are, the more dangerous it is for me. Without Ling Tong and Xin Bai, the others are nothing to fear, after all..." They will die sooner or later, so he doesn't need to scheme against them.
