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

Chapter 704 2.5 [Lust Chapter] The Abyss

As Mu Yegui stepped out the door, she seemed to sense something and whispered, "Take Qiong and leave here immediately, it's going to collapse." She didn't say why, and Xin assumed it was because of Qiong, but Ling Tong knew from the moment she heard that Qiong was being taken away that the collapse was not caused by Qiong, but by someone else.

"Get away!" Qiong shook off Ling Tong's hand, her eyes filled with rejection and wariness, unwilling to let him get any closer.

Fei hesitated for a second, then walked up to Qiong and said, "I'd like to talk to you again about that deal from back then, is that alright?"

Qiong looked at Fei coldly, and finally nodded in agreement.

The moment the four left the Silk House, they heard a loud 'boom' as the entire building collapsed into ruins.

A very displeased voice came from beside them, "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that even though Lanlos isn't here, he can still swindle people out of money."

Ling Tong turned his head and saw an administrator from a certain gourmet kingdom looking at the emerald ring in his hand with a resentful expression. He was slightly taken aback and bowed to Ji Qi.

"May Lord Ji be well."

Upon hearing Ling Tong's voice, Ji Qi finally took pity and turned to look at Ling Tong, casually exchanging pleasantries, "Oh, it's you. The dungeon is over?"

“Yes,” Ling Tong said softly.

"Then leave immediately." Ji Qi said coldly, "Everyone except Mu Yegui, leave Tongou Town if you don't want to die."

"Why?" Xin Bai asked, unconvinced.

Ji Qi glanced at Xin Bai and said indifferently, "Lust is a battle, what do you say? If you can be as emotionless as her, you can stay, but if you can't... then never get close to lust, not anyone." Because lust is inherently good at manipulating other people's emotions. Even just standing there doing nothing is enough to arouse and deepen other people's desires, destined to lead to their self-destruction.

He paused, then added, "Of course, there's another kind, like me, who is loyal and faithful to one's original aspirations. As long as my will is strong enough, no desire can affect me. Your crown prince, that Dao Lin, is quite talented. You can tell at a glance that he has a strong will in every aspect."

Xin Bai: "..." This person is very spiritual in every aspect.

Mu Yegui nodded to them and said, "The Lust Battle is a battle between lust and the challenger. Others are not qualified to participate. I will notify you of the results in the group."

"Is it because of Adele or Urias?" Ling Tong asked.

“Tong probably hasn’t met Urias before,” Mu Yegui said slowly, glancing at Ling Tong.

Ling Tong was taken aback for a moment, then realized what that sentence meant. Logically, they had actually met Urias at the Crown Prince's meeting, but Mu Yegui claimed he hadn't. Given Mu Yegui's memory, he couldn't be wrong; the only possibility was that the person standing there at the Crown Prince's meeting wasn't the real Urias, but someone impersonating him.

He roughly guessed who the imposter was.

So Mu Yegui's words were a warning to him not to delve any deeper, as it was not something he should know.

Urias is Mu Yegui's apostle, so it's only natural for her to stay, while their staying is a provocation against Mu Yegui. "I understand, I'll take care of getting them out of here." Ling Tong nodded to Mu Yegui, then left with Xin Bai, Fei, and Qiong.

Ji Qi watched the four figures leave before turning his gaze to Mu Yegui, saying meaningfully, "You really don't care about anything."

"Aren't you worried, Qiqi?" Mu Yegui asked in return.

"Ah, I'm worried." Ji Qi lowered his eyes and said frankly, "I guess I'm just too heartbroken, so much so that I couldn't help but think of him when I was taking care of Rong Yi. It's a pity that no matter how good I am to Rong Yi, Urias is still Urias. They are different. No matter how much I feel sorry for him, I can't make up for the lost time." Because the past is just the past, unlike the future which can be changed, and the past can only become a piece of history in the end.

"Did you already know when you named him both times?" Ji Qi asked. Otherwise, why would you have chosen the same name both times?
"I don't know." Mu Yegui looked up at Ji Qi and said softly, "I just have a vague feeling that this is the right name for him, nothing else will do."

Dionysus appeared out of nowhere and, upon seeing the two, couldn't help but remark, "You two look exactly like parents waiting for a pregnant woman to give birth in a delivery room!"

Mu Yegui and Ji Qi: "..."

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute,” Ji Qi said coldly.

Dionysus took a few steps forward and heard a 'crack' sound under his feet, as if he had stepped on something. He bent down slightly to pick it up and saw in his palm that it was a diamond-like object. He glanced at Ji Qi and Mu Yegui, then stuffed the diamond into his pocket.

“I say… Urias is back, so the Abyss will have to come back too, right?” Dionysus frowned as he recalled something.

The Abyss Hell, a sub-map of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, is on par with the Ghost Realm of the Gourmet Kingdom and the Garden of Eden of the Mysterious Kingdom. These three sub-maps are generally not open to players, as they carry special rules, and players who enter will almost certainly die.

The Abyss is the territory of the demons, and Dionysus, being a god, knows his old nemesis very well. The gods and demons are like a cruel joke played by the laws of nature, two completely opposite races deliberately separated. Like light and darkness, the gods are light, and the demons are darkness; all dark creatures are branches of the demons.

That was true at first, but it changed after a certain race appeared.

Lin Ya is a hybrid of human and a branch of the demon race, but due to Mu Yegui's interference, she became a vampire. Blood-wise, Lin Ya could be considered part of the demon race. However, as bloodline distinctions became stricter, vampires were separated into a distinct race; they are not demons, but simply a race of dark creatures. From then on, the notion arose that while demons are dark creatures, not all dark creatures are demons.

The term "demon" refers specifically to the race that lives in the abyss and hell; anything else is not considered a demon.

There's another secret: Urias was the core of the Abyss. After Urias died, the Abyss completely disappeared from the map, as if it had never existed.

From that time on, Dionysus knew that the abyss was Urias himself.

Although Dionysus didn't know why it turned out this way, as far as he knew, Urias was originally just an ordinary demon in the abyss, only his bloodline was special and his abilities were a bit stronger.

The chemistry between Ji Qi and Urias is getting stronger and stronger.
