Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

[Black Saint Guild]: To {Blood Axe Butcher}, in view of your malicious attack on our prospective members and the reputational damage to our guild caused by the widespread live broadcast, you are hereby given ten days to voluntarily contact us to accept the consequences, otherwise we will launch a manhunt for you.

His tone was firm, carrying an unyielding force.

Qi Xie raised an eyebrow.

"The Black Saint Guild is one of the dark forces in the Traveler's Circle. They are ruthless and unscrupulous in their actions."

Bai Yiyi led Qi Xie to a low-key white Cayenne, got into the driver's seat, and started the car while explaining to Qi Xie:

"The guild leader's true identity is unknown, but it seems he obtained the certification of a high-level traveler half a year ago. Jia Yu, whom you killed, was in contact with the Black Saint Guild at the time and had the intention to join."

"Logically speaking, the Traveler Circle tacitly accepts the consequences of their bets. If they are outmatched and die as a result of retaliation, then so be it. The forces behind them have no reason to retaliate. Therefore, the Black Saint Guild is probably just using this as a pretext to cause trouble."

"They probably see you as a lone wolf with no powerful backing, but you have so many resources, so they want to rip you off."

Qi Xie sat in the passenger seat, his eyes slightly lowered, deep in thought.

Seeing this, Bai Yiyi assumed that Qi Xie was worried about retaliation from the Black Saint Guild, so she comforted him:

"It's alright, Mr. Qi. With your strength, any faction would be eager to recruit you. If you just join any one of them, the Black Saint Guild should back down..."

My first impression of the Black Saints Guild was alright.

Qi Xie turned his head:

Bai Yiyi: "?"

"Don't you think the title 'Blood Axe Butcher' sounds much better than 'Lolicon Master'?"

Qi Xie nodded slightly, his face serious, even with a hint of a smile.

Bai Yiyi: ……

What a bizarre mental state!

People say they're going to chop you up, and you say the nickname they gave you is pretty good? What the heck?

Qi Xie shut down the system, naturally adjusted the seat back to a comfortable angle, and relaxed by crossing his hands behind his head.

He didn't take the threat from the Black Saints Guild to heart.

What kind of shady guild is this, daring to issue a warrant for the arrest of a member of an evil god?

Seeing this, Bai Yiyi consciously refrained from saying anything more and simply continued driving silently.

Soon, the Cayenne drove into an elegantly decorated residential area and eventually stopped in a section of detached villas.

This is a two-story villa with its own small yard.

The area isn't particularly large, but it's more than enough for one person.

Moreover, in a place like Shenzhen, especially in the city center, this villa is truly a case of land being incredibly valuable.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Qi Xie could see that the villa was already fully furnished, so he didn't need to do anything and could move in immediately.

"Would you like me to introduce you, Mr. Qi?"

Bai Yiyi winked playfully, deliberately flashing a very standard professional smile, her hands raised, looking just like a professional saleswoman, only her youth made it a little jarring.

"That won't be necessary. As long as I have a place to stay, that's fine with me."

Qi Xie breathed a long sigh of relief.

Housing didn't really appeal to him.

He used to sleep in coffins and haunted houses, and when he was running in the mountains, he would just lie down on whichever piece of land looked good and make do for the night.

He had only one requirement for housing.

Don't let plaster fall from the ceiling.

"Alright, as long as Mr. Qi is satisfied."

Bai Yiyi stopped joking around and nodded, adding:

"I will cover all the costs of maintaining this building, including water and electricity. If Mr. Qi needs anything else, please feel free to ask."

"Yes, that's enough. We don't need it for now."

Qi Xie looked at Bai Yiyi:

"Tell me your request. You've been going to such lengths to help me; there must be something you need me to do."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's easy to talk to smart people.

"It's not really about making demands; perhaps a long-term partnership would be a more appropriate term."

Bai Yiyi said earnestly:

"I hope we can team up so we can enter the same dungeon. I'm too weak, and your protection would greatly improve my survivability. In exchange, I'll do my best to provide you with all my resources."

"My family has connections with many traveler factions, and we ourselves are working hard to transform into a traveler faction, so the help we can give you will only increase in the future."

Bai Yiyi speaks with great emotional intelligence.

Throughout the entire process, the company maintained a very neutral stance, never mentioning the need for Qi Xie to act as a bodyguard, thus emphasizing that this was an equal partnership.

Qi Xie naturally had no reason to refuse, and he also needed to find Bai Yiyi himself.

"Sure, no problem."

Qi Xie nodded:

"However, I do have a request now, and I need your channels to keep an eye out for me."

"I need calamity-level bizarre items, level one sealed artifacts, A-grade skill books... basically anything bizarre that reaches the calamity level."

Bai Yiyi was slightly taken aback:

"Items of this caliber are extremely rare. Not only are they hard to find, but they are also incredibly expensive. It's impossible to buy them with money."

"I know, just keep an eye on the information for me, I'll figure out the rest."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yiyi said no more and nodded in agreement.

With these trivial matters settled, Bai Yiyi bid farewell to Qi Xie and left.

She holds a high position at Platinum Realty, has a rather unique family background, and after becoming a Strange Walker, she has to find ways to improve her abilities, so she is usually quite busy.

However, Bai Yiyi consciously refrained from asking about Qi Xie's mysterious abilities and the sealed artifacts.

Qi Xie tacitly refrained from asking too many questions about other people's family matters and simply enjoyed life as usual.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and seven days flew by in the blink of an eye.

The Black Saint Guild did not appear during these seven days, perhaps because the time limit has not yet expired and they are still observing.

On the contrary, three days before the dungeon matchmaking, Bai Yiyi sent him a message saying that three official members of the China Mysterious Special Forces Bureau had contacted her and hoped that she could help them get in touch with her.

Qi Xie had anticipated this.

Although he disguised himself when he left, this childish trick was enough to fool the guilds and the Traveler's Family.

From the perspective of the Chinese government, it's definitely not enough.

He was certain that the Chinese authorities already knew his location, but they didn't want to disturb him and hoped to indirectly convey an invitation to him through Bai Yiyi.

Unfortunately, he cannot respond to the other party yet.

Qi Xie could only have Bai Yiyi politely decline the offer, and then continue to focus on the dungeon.

"Are you ready?"

Inside the villa, Qi Xie sat on the sofa, looking at Bai Yiyi sitting opposite him.

"Um!"

Bai Yiyi nodded slightly nervously, after all, she had only entered the eerie instance three times.

The two have been teamed up together through the system, which ensures they won't be separated when entering the same instance.

"Oh, right, Mr. Qi, this is for you."

Bai Yiyi seemed to remember something, and took off the bracelet on her right hand and handed it to Qi Xie.

Qi Xie glanced at it, understood what Bai Yiyi meant, and took the bracelet and put it on his right wrist.

At this moment, a countdown appeared on the system panel in front of the two.

[Time remaining until next dungeon match: 5 seconds]
