"Trespassing?"

Fire Phoenix let out another cold laugh.

"Are you using such an absurd excuse to cover up your ulterior motives?"

"What, you're not pretending anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shu looked completely bewildered.

Could it be that his plan to sneak into the Liu family's house and steal Liu Weiwei's bed has been discovered? The problem is, he hasn't even made a move yet!

He pulled his security helmet back on and looked at Luo Chen, who was equally bewildered, asking, "Brother, can you understand what she's saying?"

"I don't know."

Luo Chen shook his head, equally bewildered.

Damn, who can understand this fragmented, riddle-like way of speaking?

Even if Miyazaki Eiji came, he wouldn't understand!

"Did you understand?"

Ye Shu looked at Xiao Bai again.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xiaobai, the Heavenly Dao, is more familiar with the female lead.

"It seems like she's going to betray you."

Xiao Bai said with a serious expression.

Based on experience from other Dragon King universes, in this situation, the female Dragon King often causes great trouble for the Dragon King, and the situation is irreversible.

"Betrayal?"

This word seemed to have touched something.

Ye Shu's expression was unusually serious.

A killing intent, more terrifying and solid than that of a fire phoenix, slowly spread from his body, stopping the wind and dust wherever it went, even the drifting pages of paper became eerily quiet.

However, when passing Luo Chen, it strangely bypassed him, as if a gentle spring breeze had fallen.

This terrifying killing intent erupted.

Fire Phoenix immediately felt immense pressure, and her back was instantly soaked with sweat, sweat pouring down like rain.

murderous look,

This murderous aura, sharp as a knife, seemed capable of truly killing with sheer force.

"Wow, why are you suddenly so scary?" Xiaobai exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise. "When I told you that Jingtu and the others had betrayed us, you didn't react much, you were even quite happy, weren't you?"

"This is different."

Ye Shu replied calmly.

"I don't owe her any money."

What kind of ridiculous reason is that?

Xiao Bai was completely stunned, fearing he might be accidentally killed by Huo Feng, and hurriedly shouted, "But she hasn't explicitly said she betrayed me yet! This is just my guess, just a guess!"

She didn't even want to think about what would happen if the female lead died!

"Loyalty that isn't absolute is absolute disloyalty!"

Ye Shu's face was cold and stern, his expression resolute as he cut off the railway tracks.

He raised his eyes and looked at the Fire Phoenix with icy eyes, as if he were looking at an ant.

The phoenix on the chandelier was already struggling to breathe, finding it difficult to withstand the pressure. She had lost the battle of killing intent, a complete and utter defeat, the red dress now soaked with sweat and clinging stickily to her delicate body being the best proof of that.

run!

Without hesitation, fear preceded the brain's command.

The fire phoenix's figure flickered, almost turning into a burning red afterimage, and shot towards the open window, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"They ran away, ran away, ran away?"

Luo Chen's mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief. Not only him, but even the leader was incredulous.

"Are you kidding me?!"

The system was making strange noises in the dark corner.

This doesn't make sense. According to the worlds we've conquered before, a beautiful female assassin ranked second should be no less formidable than the Dragon King. How could she be so frightened by his murderous aura that she runs away as soon as we meet?

They should first engage in a fierce battle, then the female dragon king should secretly investigate, eventually discover the true nature of the dragon king, defect to become a member of the host's harem, and then take on the main offensive role when the villainous host launches a counterattack.

Instead of the way it is now.

Overwhelmed by the Dragon King's murderous aura, they fled in panic.

"That's not how the villain's inner thoughts are expressed at all!"

"I won't accept it!"

The system crashed and shouted.

It couldn't tell how many Waterloo defeats it had suffered.

Why is this world completely different from the Dragon King world it experienced before?

Who the hell secretly changed the difficulty to Hell Mode?

In an instant, only Luo Chen and Ye Shu remained in the study.

Luo Chen suddenly thought of something.

The mysterious appearance of the Fire Phoenix is ​​very likely orchestrated by the Dragon King's forces.

Although I don't know why they're fighting amongst themselves.

But that doesn't mean the Dragon King is on his side!

According to the system, he was very likely to be inexplicably killed by the Dragon King while walking.

"Gulp!"

Luo Chen glanced in Ye Shu's direction, subconsciously swallowing. Surely he didn't think it was pointless for the Fire Phoenix to fight, so he wanted to intervene personally?

Would you survive if you just knelt down?

Just as Luo Chen was struggling with whether to kneel down directly, kowtow, or kneel and kowtow at the same time...

But Ye Shu slowly turned around, revealing a warm smile: "Go ahead, buddy, why are you so nervous? If you ever need anything, just ask me for help, I'll give you a hundred or two."

After saying that, he vanished in a flash.

Luo Chen was left standing there, completely bewildered.

"This...is this right? They're leaving already? They still treat me like a buddy?" Luo Chen murmured in disbelief, "But...did the Dragon King save me?"

"Hiss~"

He gasped, exclaiming in astonishment:

"This Dragon King is actually a pretty nice person."

The system was left speechless with despair.

The phoenix can only stop because of its own thoughts, but can it tell its host?

It can't!

The Dragon King stole the peaches from him, and he was filled with resentment.

Meanwhile, outside the River View Villa.

"hurry up!"

"Faster!"

Under the bright moon hanging high, a crimson figure, like a nimble elf, leaped and darted between streetlights and rooftops, moving so fast that only a blur remained.

That's...that's terrifying...

That kind of deathly murderous aura.

Fire Phoenix had never felt so close to death; all the anger from being fooled was extinguished by the coldness of death.

The golden bell on her ankle jingled softly with each leap. It was a gift from Ye Shu, who said that if she was in danger, she only needed to ring the bell, and he would drop everything to save her.

She used to think he was a busybody.

Deep down, I was happy.

No one wants to feel like they don't always have someone to rely on.

But now, this promise seems incredibly ironic. The ringing bell reminds her that all her past dangers may have been just a play he orchestrated.

All that tenderness was nothing but hypocrisy.

"fraud......."

Fire Phoenix gritted her teeth and murmured.

For some reason, tears streamed down her cheeks, shimmering with fragmented light in the moonlight.

She suddenly stopped at the edge of a tall building.

The strong wind tousled her hair, and her long dress fluttered in the wind. She gazed at the dimly lit city ahead, then looked back at the road she had come from, her eyes filled with confusion and pain.

"He didn't chase after us?"

"Is it because you disdain me... or do you feel you already have me completely under your control, so you don't need to care?"

Fire Phoenix bit her lip lightly, her eyes filled with resentment.

She didn't know why she was so angry.

She suddenly discovered that the captain she had followed for so many years had actually been plotting against her all along.

I feel so bad.

Fire Phoenix clutched her chest, feeling a tightness and suffocation in her heart.

"No, I have to figure this out."

She gritted her teeth and gazed into the distance.

"Damn it! Apart from me, I bet everyone else has been fooled by him using these tricks! That silly girl Jing Tu must be completely in the dark too! And Si She, Bai Hu... we've all been played like fools!"

A sense of mission suddenly welled up in my heart.

"Now that Heaven has revealed his despicable nature to me, it must want me to do something. I must expose that guy's mask and let the sisters see his true colors!"

"What is the true face?"

A questioning voice came from behind.

"That would be to expose our captain's true colors. He arranged all sorts of dangerous missions just to win my heart, and then he would come out to be the hero and save me."

"This kind of person is so cunning!"

Once asked, Fire Phoenix started talking non-stop. Perhaps because the fear she had just experienced was so deeply ingrained, she desperately wanted to confide in someone and blurted it all out like beans spilling out.

"And that golden bell!"

"He said shaking it would save me if I was in danger, but look how fast I ran and how loudly I shook it just now, did he come to save me? Not at all!"

"So that was basically a tool to monitor me!"

Fire Phoenix solemnly declared.

"Actually, he's been spying on me from some dark corner all along, maybe even watching me while I'm showering!"

"Tsk, but you..."

That's not the point!

Fire Phoenix suddenly waved its hand.

"The main problem is he's a total jerk! He could have used more legitimate methods, like going on dates, seeing movies, sending flowers, taking me out to dinner, or even just telling me he liked me!"

"In the end, he insisted on using such despicable means to toy with other people's feelings and trust, and to use other people's sincerity as a bargaining chip in his game!"

This kind of person doesn't deserve anyone's approval!

She finished speaking in one breath, her chest heaving violently.

Her eyes even reddened as she spoke.

"Tsk, listening to you say that, he really is a bit of a jerk. But is that why you're so angry?"

"Of course not."

Fire Phoenix wiped away her tears and continued:

"If, if all the missions I've carried out were deliberately arranged by him to get close to me and scheme against me, then doesn't that mean... all my efforts, all the life-and-death experiences, all the honors and growth I've gained over the years have just become a ridiculous backdrop in his womanizing scheme? Is my existence, my value, merely to cooperate with his 'hero saves the damsel in distress' act?"

"So, you're saying you don't intend to betray us?"

"Why would I betray him? I just want to know what that guy was thinking."

"Then why did you run away?"

"Such terrifying killing intent, anyone would want to run away, right?" Fire Phoenix said angrily.

"I see."

The source of the sound seemed to become lighter and more cheerful.

"You've been running for so long, sweating a lot, and now you've talked so much in one go, you must be thirsty, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fire Phoenix nodded.

"I am a little thirsty."

The long, intense trek, coupled with talking to herself, had left her throat feeling like it was on fire, extremely uncomfortable.

A bottle of milk was handed to me, still steaming in the night breeze. "Drink it, it'll be good for your throat."

Fire Phoenix instinctively took it, then paused.

wrong.

That sound...that gesture of handing over milk...

She suddenly raised her head and looked to her side.

Under the moonlight, Ye Shu had somehow already sat on the railing at the edge of the high-rise building, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, a bottle of milk he had just unscrewed, and he was smiling at her. His actions and expression were exactly the same as those scenes in her memory where he "coincidentally" appeared and handed her warm milk.

"Drink it, this is from that jerk."

Fire Phoenix's blood seemed to freeze instantly.
