Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 72 The Real Feast

After all the checks were completed, it was getting dark. Yuanqiao touched his stomach; he was so hungry.

No one ate lunch, and the housekeeper disappeared without a trace.

Just as the last ray of light faded on the horizon, they finally came to their senses. After regaining their composure, Xingguang observed the sea of ​​flowers.

After seeing that all the vines had been cleared away, he came over to thank Yu Yuyao and the others.

Since the butler hadn't appeared and they had completed their task, the group headed towards the castle together.

It's getting dark; time for dinner.

Returning to the living room, which combines the ballroom, living room, and dining room, there is no large dining table or dilapidated piano, only flickering candlelight and the projection of a crystal chandelier.

Yuanqiao's stomach rumbled, and he smiled awkwardly at everyone.

Just then, many silver threads appeared beneath their feet and began to wrap around them.

"Again!" Du Wenfei dodged.

"I haven't eaten yet, and I have to jump again, waaaaah."

Yuanqiao looked at Yinsi with a sense of helplessness; she wanted to eat, not dance.

More and more silver threads emerged, and in a dark corner, someone's beloved pet slowly crawled over, unleashing a skill to tease the people in the hall.

Yu Yuyao once again mobilized her spiritual power, forcing out a certain large gecko that had been causing trouble in the shadows.

It was pulled in front of the group, and somewhat enraged, it waved its claws.

I rushed toward the starlight, wanting to give him a good whack.

"!"

Why not target others? Starlight quickly used his talent skill to summon his wings for defense.

Yuan Qiao had just finished putting on his lucky aura for the day and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the giant gecko, which was only focused on attacking the starlight.

Why are you only hitting me?

Starlight was somewhat indignant, but this giant gecko was the castle owner's pet. If she hurt it, it might hold a grudge and stay at Miller Manor forever, which would be troublesome.

"Hey, where's Bai Chen? Didn't he come to the castle with us?"

Liu Qiqi asked Yuan Qiao.

"I don't know, I didn't notice." Yuan Qiao looked left and right but couldn't see Bai Chen. It seemed that he disappeared after they finished clearing the vines.

"They are all so mysterious."

Seeing that Xingguang was hiding in a sorry state, Yuanqiao had no choice but to take the psionic gun that was tied to his thigh.

I fired a shot around the large gecko, startling it.

Attracted by the attention, the gecko reluctantly crawled towards Yuanqiao.

Starlight breathed a sigh of relief. His skill to maintain a defensive state only had a limited duration and couldn't be maintained for long. Now he could take a break.

Yuanqiao ran back and fired another shot at it, but the gecko dodged her shot.

With practice, Yuanqiao's shooting skills have improved to the point that, while he may not hit the target every time, he can certainly hit the target at close range.

The starlight that didn't hit the giant gecko was a warning not to harm it.

The others watched the show until Yuanqiao's gun grazed its claw, causing it to let out a strange cry of pain.

The silver threads quickly wrapped around Yuanqiao, no longer teasing them with their slow encirclement, but instead wrapped around her and dragged her toward the garden.

It wants to use Yuanqiao as fertilizer!

The speed was too fast; Yu Yuyao didn't have time to react.

Yuanqiao was led to the garden by a silver ribbon. The pale moonlight shone on this sea of ​​flowers, creating a scene of serene beauty.

She didn't find these flowers pretty at all; she'd already tripped and fallen during the day. The pollen from these flowers could create illusions, and remembering Yu Yuyao's words, there were other things involved.

Could it be this giant gecko?
The silver threads are mostly a skill of the giant gecko, but it seems to have more than just the effect of entangling people.

Yuanqiao was thrown into the sea of ​​flowers, but she is still relatively calm.

Because when Xingguang was being teased by the giant gecko with its wicked humor, she heard Bai Chen's voice, which seemed to be a telepathic device.

Only she heard that Bai Chen had Yuan Qiao lure the giant gecko outside.

A soft white light appeared, and a transparent light shield resembling an eggshell appeared on Yuan Qiao's body.

This is the protective item that Xingguang gave her in the afternoon. Yuanqiao promised her a permanent 8% discount when she shopped at the general store.

Clutching the white feather in her hand, the eggshell shield protecting her as she stepped out of the sea of ​​flowers and into a flat, plant-free area. White dust appeared, and a small object was tossed towards the giant gecko, transforming into a trap in mid-air.

When a large gecko is trapped, the more it struggles, the smaller the cage shrinks.

The others heard the commotion and came out to check. They saw Bai Chen had trapped the gecko in a cage and were puzzled.

Bai Chen: "Yuan Qiao, lend me your psionic gun for a moment."

Yuanqiao: "?"

I glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then lent it to him. But I stood behind him, clutching the feather in my hand, watching him intently.

Bai Chen took the gun and fired several shots at the cage.

The gecko that had been shot howled in pain and struggled violently.

"Woo-hoo—"

Yu Yuyao smiled, "Aren't you coming out yet?"
She also channeled her spiritual power, unleashing a wind blade that slashed open the gecko's abdomen.

A lot of blood flowed out, and the surrounding scenery suddenly flashed brightly before returning to the dark castle.

"Rogers... young master? Aren't you coming out? Your pet seems to be in a lot of pain."

Yuanqiao seemed to understand, but not quite, recalling the clues from before.

So the reason for catching this giant gecko was to force the castle owner out. And what about the clue "real... fake..."? Is it just a pollen illusion?
After a while, no one answered.

Yuan Qiao suddenly felt a little dizzy and wanted to say something, but then he saw Bai Chen pointing a psionic gun at him.

"!"

My heart skipped a beat. What's going on? Are they going to betray me?!
Bai Chen calmly fired his gun, but his marksmanship seemed poor; he missed himself and the shot went astray.

Yuanqiao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly ran away, and glared angrily.

She retrieved the psionic gun through a contract, and because it was her bound item, she could easily summon it back.

"you……"

"Watch out!" Starlight ripped Yuanqiao away, and someone jumped out from behind, trying to attack Yuanqiao.

"Zhang Ruizhe?"

Yu Yuyao unleashed her skills to trap Zhang Ruizhe, who was dressed in a tuxedo and was even more elaborately dressed than when he first appeared.

Bai Chen then took out another cage-like prop and threw it over.

Zhang Ruizhe dodged the two's skills and fell awkwardly into the blue flower sea.

Yuan Qiao was saved by Xing Guang, and she also pointed her psionic gun at Zhang Ruizhe, who attacked her inexplicably.

Seeing that they were all attacking, Yuanqiao followed suit and fired several shots.

"Okay, okay, stop hitting me, stop hitting me."

Zhang Ruizhe shouted.

Yuan Qiao initially ignored him and intended to continue firing, but Yu Yuyao stopped him.

"Ok?"

Yu Yuyao: "Hahaha, Young Master Rogers, is it fun?"

Zhang Ruizhe patted the dust off his clothes and asked curiously:
How did you know it was me?

The four of them listened to their conversation with blank expressions.

It turns out that Zhang Ruizhe was actually the host of the banquet, Rogers Miller, and the castle was not like this at all.

After his identity was revealed, Bai Chen released the giant gecko from the animal trap.

As soon as it appeared, it scurried over to Rogers, howling and complaining. The two, master and pet, unleashed their skills together, drastically changing the entire environment of Miller Manor.

I was invited to the banquet hall again. The decorations were magnificent, and there were many delicious foods on the table next to me.

This is what a real banquet scene looks like.

Yuan Qiao's eyes lit up, and while asking Yu Yuyao, he took a dessert to eat.

"So he prepared a lot of tricks to trap us, but you and Bai Chen ruined them all?! Wow~"
