Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

The tall, burly man stammered out a sentence, trying to regain some initiative in the negotiation.

Jiang Luo covered her mouth and let out a crisp laugh that had a villainous air about her, while a terrifyingly violent aura surged in her red eyes.

(｡◕ᴗ◕｡)

"Hahaha, if you dare to tear up the ticket, then hurry up and do it. Lolo just wants to see what kind of broth can be made from the bones of an SS-level lord."

"As for what that secretive adult you're talking about wants with Lolo, just say it already! Lolo's in a hurry to get home and eat her strawberry cake!"

Jiang Luo slammed the Blood Moon Scythe he was carrying on his shoulder into the ground. The sharp blade carved a deep, dark crack in the mud, and the violent abyssal aura sent the dozen or so black-robed men flying.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 20,000 points of fear!]

The system notification popped up cheerfully, and Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. It seemed that these small fry still had some value to be exploited.

The tall, muscular man was forced to kneel on one knee by the terrifying pressure. A fine crack appeared on his proud skull mask, and even breathing became difficult.

He finally understood why his parents had repeatedly warned him not to anger this white-haired loli. This was not a lost little girl at all, but an ancient ferocious beast disguised as a loli!

"Please calm down, Lord Jiang Luo. I will lead the way for you. Our master is waiting for you in the council hall in the center of the village."

The tall, burly man scrambled to his feet. All he wanted to do was get rid of this hot potato and hand it over to his family. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be chopped in two by the sickle.

Jiang Luo put away the Blood Moon Scythe and followed the tall, strong man with light steps. Shadow held the human girl, who looked like a rag doll, and stayed by her side without leaving her side.

Naya walked at the very back, leaning on his bone cane. A smile of amusement played on his face, which was painted with white skull patterns. The black mist that occasionally spilled from his fingertips burned the low-level monsters that tried to approach to ashes.

The group walked through the stench-filled tent area, and the infected people covered in tumors along the way all huddled in corners, trembling as if they had seen a plague god.

Jiang Xiaobai, who was hiding in the shadows at Jiang Luo's feet, poked out half of his boyish head. His pupil-less eyes were fixed on the prey hiding in the dark, and corrosive black saliva kept flowing from his mouth.

"Master, it smells terrible here, but there's so much meat! Can Little White have just one bite? Just one bite!"

Jiang Xiaobai stretched out her two chubby little hands and hugged Jiang Luo's ankles, pleading in a coquettish tone.

Jiang Luo ruthlessly stomped Jiang Xiaobai's head back into the shadows, and then rubbed the mud off the soles of his shoes on the ground.

"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating! You can't even bring yourself to eat this garbage full of tumors. If you get a stomachache, Lolo will flush you down the toilet!"

Jiang Xiaobai huddled in the shadows, looking dejected, even the dark red tentacle it often used to steal food drooped listlessly.

Before long, the tall, strong man led them to a huge, relatively intact building.

The building looks like the remains of some kind of ancient temple.

The walls are carved with many twisted and strange totems, and the gate is made of two thick bronze plates spliced ​​together, the surface of which is covered with dark green rust.

The tall, strong man walked up to the bronze gate, bit his finger, and smeared his black blood onto the totem on the gate.

With a piercing metallic scraping sound, the two heavy bronze doors slowly opened to the sides, and a complex aroma mixed with high-end incense and the smell of aged blood wafted out.

Jiang Luo stood on the steps and peeked inside. In the center of the spacious hall was a huge black wooden table with a dozen red candles made from human corpse oil burning on it.

A human man dressed in white casual clothes stood with his back to the door at the end of the long table.

The moment Jiang Luo saw that figure from behind, the two tufts of hair on her head immediately stood up, and a dangerous glint flashed in her large, ruby-like eyes.

Jiang Luo keenly noticed the unusual fluctuation in the air.

This was the first time since she came to this strange world that she had sensed such a dangerous and hostile feeling from a human being.

The abyssal essence within her body began to operate wildly the moment it came into contact with that aura, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

Her intuition told her clearly that the human in front of her, dressed in white casual clothes, was definitely not one of those useless bastards covered in tumors outside.

Jiang Luo slammed the Blood Moon Scythe he was carrying on his shoulder heavily onto the bronze threshold.

The heavy clanging of metal echoed through the empty hall, causing the dozen or so red candles made from corpse oil on the long table to flicker.

The man who had his back to the door turned around.

He wore a very amiable smile on his face, which looked to be only in his early thirties, as if he was completely unaware of the terrifying killing intent emanating from Jiang Luo.

"We've finally met, Lord of Red Moon Castle."

"You may call me Shen Wandi."

"I have been in this dark and sunless burial canyon for twelve years."

"Now I can barely be considered the leader of this Burning Heaven Church."

Shen Wandi's voice is gentle and magnetic.

He pointed with his finger at the black-robed men kneeling in the shadows around him.

It seemed to be telling Jiang Luo how important his status was.

Jiang Luo disdainfully fanned her nose twice with her small hand; she couldn't be bothered with such a boring title as "cult leader."

"Stop trying to get close to Luo Luo."

"All I care about is what you're trying to do by going to all this trouble to lure me to this stinky place."

"If you can't come up with a toy or crystal that Lolo finds interesting."

"Lolo, I'll set fire to your lousy church right now, burning it to the ground along with all that garbage outside!"

Jiang Luo revealed two sharp, white shark teeth, and bloodthirsty dark red patterns began to appear on the surface of the Blood Moon Scythe in her hand.

Hearing Jiang Luo's completely uncompromising threat, Han Ya, who was slumped outside the gate, covered her mouth tightly, too terrified to make a sound.

He was terrified that his father, whom he hadn't even met yet, would be implicated by a single word from this mad lord.

Faced with Jiang Luo's death threat, Shen Wandi did not back down. Instead, he stepped forward and walked to the front of the long black wooden table.

"Lord Jiang Luo, there's no need to be so angry."

"The sole purpose of our Church of Burning Heaven is to find a way to survive in this damned Burial Valley."

"If it weren't for something as crucial as survival."

"I, Shen, would never do something as foolish as provoking an Abyss Lord, which would be digging my own grave."

Shen Wandi placed his hands on the table, his clear eyes staring directly into Jiang Luo's red pupils, which were surging with a violent aura.

"The reason I used the Grand Duke of Skeletons as a bargaining chip to invite you here today is..."

"I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you that would be immensely beneficial to both of us."

Upon hearing the word "cooperation," Jiang Luo tilted her head curiously, causing the two white tufts of hair on her head to sway slightly.

"Are you out of your mind, you old man?"

"Why don't you go and find all those old bones hiding in coffins in the burial canyon?"

"Why would they come looking for Lolo, a little girl who's only been in Burial Canyon for a few days, to discuss business?"
