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

Chapter 707, Section 2.6: A Storm is Brewing
Mu Yegui gently knocked on the door, and after receiving a response from the person inside, he turned the handle and went in.

What came into view were cold experimental instruments. Mu Yegui had been to many princes' rooms, but he had never seen one like Daolin's, which had been transformed into a scientific laboratory.

Daolin did not turn around to look at Mu Yegui; he was completely absorbed in the experiment of observing cell growth in a culture dish under a microscope.

Mu Yegui found a chair and sat down, saying nothing, just quietly waiting for Dao Lin to finish.

"If you're alright, take a test tube over there and drip some blood into it," Dao Lin said, pointing to a few clean test tubes on another table.

"How much do you want?" Mu Yegui asked.

"Ten drops will do. My test tube can only hold ten drops of your blood. If it holds more, the tube will explode. Be careful." Dao Lin didn't say anything about whether using a syringe would cause bacterial infection of the blood. After all, he knew very well that a syringe couldn't pierce Mu Yegui's skin. She would have to cut herself. Of course, more importantly, Mu Yegui's blood was phagocytic and there was basically no possibility of it being parasitized by bacteria.

Mu Yegui walked to the table, picked up a test tube, looked at it for a while, and then slowly pricked her finger with her fingernail, dripping ten drops of blood into it. She looked down at the transparent blood in the test tube, which shimmered with silver light under the light, and remained silent.

Dao Lin walked over to her, took the test tube, carefully capped it, and placed it in the safe next to her.

He casually poured Mu Yegui a glass of water and then sat down opposite her.

"Ming Jin sent you to see me personally, so it must be something important," Dao Lin said with a light laugh to Mu Yegui.

"It's not a small matter, but it's not a big deal either. Xiao Jin is just asking how much longer Shui Qi's body can hold on?" Mu Yegui said softly.

"It's unpredictable, but it's just around the corner, probably in the next day or two. The surgery can't be performed now; the gene collapse can only be treated after it erupts, otherwise the erroneous gene chain won't be found." Dao Lin rubbed his white hair, his icy blue eyes showing a hint of irritation.

"Is there any possibility of an extension?" Mu Yegui asked again.

Dao Lin frowned and asked, "Does Shui Qi want to enter the dungeon?"

"Yes, Horus's order." Mu Yegui nodded. The conclusion reached at the meeting was that Shui Qi had to make a trip, regardless of whether it was a copy or not, and he wouldn't be back for a day or two.

Dao Lin reached into the pocket of his white coat, took out a vial of reagent, and tossed it to Mu Yegui, saying, "This was originally a gene stabilizer made as a precaution. It's injected during an outbreak and can delay the spread for 5 days, but it won't work for more than that. It can only be used once. Let Shui Qi decide what to do. I will be ready to perform surgery at any time, but he has to come back alive."

Seeing that Mu Yegui was staring at the vial of reagent, Dao Lin added, "Turning both ends at the same time will turn it into a syringe."

"Then I'll head back now; the meeting isn't over yet." Mu Yegui stood up, nodded to Dao Lin, and prepared to leave.

Dao Lin hesitated for a moment, then called out to Mu Yegui, "Wait a minute."

Mu Yegui turned her head slightly to look at him, her cool silver eyes remaining calm and devoid of any extra emotion.

"How long has it been since you last rested?" Daolin asked.

Mu Yegui paused slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why Dao Lin would ask such a question. After all, regardless of whether she rested or not, as long as she had enough energy, she wouldn't experience any fatigue. Dao Lin clearly knew this as well, so his question obviously implied something else. "I've always said that Shui Qi is just a workaholic, but I didn't expect you to be just as bad. Although continuous high-intensity dungeon runs don't seem to affect you much, you should occasionally think about that guy who only knows how to live off women. It's not good to let him do too much. Sometimes it's good to give him a good rest and push other things onto him. Although he's unwilling to use his brain, perhaps he'll come up with some surprising ways to clear the dungeon?"

Those icy blue eyes gazed silently at Mu Yegui, his handsome face adorned with a confident smile, more dazzling than ice crystals gleaming in the sunlight.

Mu Yegui didn't speak, but simply nodded to Dao Lin, then opened the door and went out.

She knew what Dao Lin meant; he was talking about Mu Yin.

but……

When Ming Jin opened the door, she saw Mu Yegui standing at the conference room door, deep in thought. She immediately raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why don't you come in?"

"Sorry, I was thinking about something." Mu Yegui apologized, then walked into the conference room, placing the vial of 'gene stabilizer' on Shui Qi's desk as he passed by.

Ming Jin looked at the reagents on Shui Qi's table and exclaimed in surprise, "He actually figured it out!" After all, gene stabilizers are not something that can be made casually, which shows that Dao Lin had recalled his memories of being Gu Shurong quite a bit.

"Let's continue." Shui Qi casually stuffed the vial of 'gene stabilizer' into his pocket and said indifferently.

Ming Jin turned a page of the document in her hand and asked, "So... it's the same old question again, has Beltias been found?"

"No, it's hidden by some unknown force, unpredictable," Isaiah shook his head and said softly in a low voice.

"So it really is like this? Although I didn't expect to get an answer anyway, I was actually relieved to hear it. After all, I can't guarantee that the Belthias who reappears after disappearing is still the Belthias we know." Shui Qi said thoughtfully, resting her chin on her hand. "I don't want to repeat those actions again."

Horus coughed and reminded her, "Shui Qi, don't say things like that, which would be so blatant as to attack the Crown Prince. It will only provoke public outrage."

"Stop saying such disgusting things. Everyone here clearly has thought the same thing." Shui Qi glanced at everyone present, sneered, and said.

"Next up are Ling Tong and Xin Bai. Xin Bai is showing signs of corruption, so everyone should keep an eye on him. At the very least, I don't want to engage in internal strife outside of dungeons; it's too damaging. Besides, Xin Bai is one of our top-tier combatants right now, and it would be a shame to lose him. Let's find someone to give him a good talking-to. As for Ling Tong... a mature adult knows what he should do. Let him choose for himself; don't bother him. He understands on his own."

Ji Rong glanced at Mu Yegui, a hint of malice in her eyes, and softly reminded him, "By the way, how's the new investigation into lust coming along?"

Mu Yegui paused slightly as she flipped through the documents, then turned the page as if nothing had happened, as if what was being discussed at the meeting had nothing to do with her.

Shui Qi tapped the document in her hand with her pen, her narrow blue eyes slightly narrowed, and said with a forced smile, "Isn't it in the document I sent you? If you don't need your eyes, I suggest donating them to someone who does."

Dao Lin's words were foreshadowing; they actually foreshadowed that the next arc would be Mu Yin's domain, and Ye Gui would not appear.

It'll be soon; we'll be entering a new dungeon in just a few chapters.
