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

Chapter 711, Section 2.6: Unexpected
A gentle breeze stirred the beige curtains, and brilliant sunlight streamed through the glass, falling on the sleeping girl on the sofa and making her long, misty gray hair seem to glow.

The reception room was very quiet, with intermittent conversations coming from the corridor.

Suddenly, the conversation stopped.

Then came the sound of the door creaking open.

A black cane lightly touched the polished floor, and a deep purple gemstone ring on a slender, pale finger faintly gleamed. His long, misty white hair was simply tied back with a purple ribbon, and silver-rimmed glasses slightly obscured his beautiful, pale gold crescent-shaped eyes. His handsome, flawless face was cold and expressionless.

He buttoned his shirt all the way up, perfectly concealing his sexy Adam's apple. He was a restrained yet elegant gentleman, an arrogant and aloof nobleman.

He walked slowly and deliberately, approaching the sofa.

Those cold, pale golden crescents softened as they touched the sleeping girl on the sofa.

He unconsciously moved to her side, his slender, pale fingers gently stroking the loose strands of her misty gray hair. Gazing at that unfamiliar yet strangely familiar face, he slowly bent down and placed a devout and tender kiss on the strand of hair he was gently holding in his palm.

"elder sister……"

"Little Sher, you look like a pervert. Anyone who knows you will understand that you're looking at your sister, but anyone who doesn't will think you want to imprison her."

The speaker appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, extremely petite, with dark, tousled hair casually falling behind his head. He had a pair of slightly long dragon horns on his head, and while his features were delicate, they were also very youthful. However, his beautiful, rose-red vertical pupils were filled with indifference and arrogance, and just being looked at by them would involuntarily give one a strange sense of tension, which seemed quite out of place with his petite and delicate appearance.

“Lilia.” Sher stood up, glanced at the young boy slightly, and said calmly.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Lilia tilted her head, puzzled.

"If Lilia has some free time, could you help me investigate something?" Sher took a few steps forward, blocking Lilia's view of Mu Yegui, and asked softly.

"The collapse of the Sinful Kingdom of Batulan a few days ago?" Lilia retorted. "Shouldn't you reflect on your own actions? If I remember correctly, that's where you imprisoned 'Gnawi.' Now that it's collapsed, could it be that 'Gnawi' has escaped?"

"Yeah, they broke out of prison." Sher lowered his eyes and said casually, as if the content was insignificant to him.

Lilia sat down on the armrest of the sofa and asked, "Didn't you send Lord Cybros to guard him? I remember he only listens to you; betraying you is harder than killing him."

“Even what I have abandoned, ‘Gnawi’ is still me. Just as Lord Sebros would not reject me, Lord Sebros would not reject him either. Duke Scheer of Gnawi is still the same person. No matter how much I despise Gnawi’s nature, I cannot ignore the fact that he was once a part of me.”

Sheldon paused, then added, "However... there's one thing you're right about. While I didn't intend to imprison Ye Gui, that doesn't mean Gnarway didn't. He represents all my dark sides, and if we don't deal with him soon, some unpredictable accidents are bound to happen."

The title "Duke of Grenaway" is actually incorrect; it should be "Duke of Grenaway," with Grenaway being the title and Sher being the given name. However, because the king disappeared, Sher, who deeply resented himself, abandoned his darker side and thus officially separated himself from the title "Grenaway."

From then on, Duke Gnawy was simply Duke Sher, and Gnawy was merely a euphemism for the darker side of Sher.

No matter what, Gnawwe is still Sher, even if it's just the dark side. He still possesses all of Sher's power and abilities, or perhaps that dark Gnawwe is even more dangerous and terrifying than Sher.

“Should we notify Zhu Yan? After all, this happened in the Kingdom of Sin, which is his territory,” Lilia asked.

Sher first glanced at Lilia, then nodded. "Yes." "You were silent just now, weren't you?" Lilia raised an eyebrow and said.

“No,” Shel said, turning his head away in denial.

“Just like when we were kids, your lies are still so obvious,” Lilia chuckled.

Shel: "..."

Lilia rested her chin on her hand and muttered to herself, "How much longer do I have to wait... I want to see that old guy again... Just thinking about seeing him again makes me excited."

"It'll be soon. Once the King's Game is over and the portal opens, we'll be able to return to interstellar space." At that time, all the waiting will have been worthwhile.

The voices gradually faded away, and the reception room returned to its original tranquility.

The girl's hair twitched slightly, and then a hamster with golden eyes and white fur suddenly appeared.

It crawled up the girl's hair to her head, and then from her forehead to her nose.

A slender, fair finger moved, gently pinching the hamster's scruff and lifting it into the air.

Jin and Yin tried to struggle, but gave up when they couldn't break free.

The girl slowly opened her eyes. Her cold, silver eyes were as indifferent as ever, devoid of any emotion. She glanced at the pitiful-looking Jin Yin, then reached out her other hand and poked it on the forehead.

"Is Little Gold a facehugger?" she asked, tilting her head and lecturing in a serious tone.

Jin Yin blinked, its tiny paws twitching as if trying to cover its eyes, but because its paws were short, it only managed to touch its cheek pouches.

Mu Yegui casually placed the gold and silver on the coffee table beside him, but in his heart he was thinking about the conversation between Sher and Lilia just now.

Samuro belongs to the single-hemispheric sleep type. Whether he is asleep or not, one side of his brain is always active. Therefore, even when he is asleep, he can easily perceive his surroundings and hear all conversations clearly. Generally, single-hemispheric sleep involves one eye closed and one eye open, but Mu Yegui's closed eyes are merely imitating the way humans sleep; he is actually still in a single-hemispheric sleep state.

"Baturan...isn't that the location of the ruins instance we're going to next?" I have a feeling that this instance will be affected by external factors and will develop in a strange direction.

I can't explain why, I just had a feeling.

In that case, the plan to have Xiao Yin participate in the next instance will have to be postponed. We can't let Sher and the others know about Xiao Yin's existence yet. Even though Gnawwe is the side that Sher abandoned, he is still Sher.

Thinking this, Mu Yegui took out his handheld device and dialed a number.

"Is this Daolin? I have something to tell you..."
