Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Hearing this, Mingyue lowered her eyes slightly, and her feather-like eyelashes slowly drooped, covering the thoughts in her eyes.

Bearded Lily glanced at Gray Rabbit and saw that she was lowering her head, looking as if she felt sorry for the damaged chair.

Lei Yi saw that the fat bearded man's attention was on Mingyue, and immediately asked, "Mr. Monkey, do you have any other plans?"

"I wonder if Mr. Heilang could help me with a little favor?" Bearded Lily looked at Heilang, thinking in her mind how to convince the serious man in front of her.

"I'm just a stranger now, I don't know how I can help you." Lei vaguely guessed the other party's plan.

Bearded Lily's unique sweet voice was particularly clear in this noisy environment. "I think this small favor will be easy for Mr. Black Wolf, and this is the reward for you two." After that, Bearded Lily took out a handful of chips engraved with the letter "L".

Mingyue looked at the pile of chips and mentally counted them. There were eight of them. However, Mingyue didn't reach out to take them. Instead, she glanced at Lei beside her.

Lei also had no intention of taking the chips. He remained silent and calmly waited for the other party to continue, while he was thinking in his mind how to refuse.

"After all, I've persisted for so long. If I become a passerby like this, I really won't accept it." A hint of resentment was mixed in her sweet voice. She handed the chips to the two people and continued, "I'd like to ask Mr. Black Wolf to lend me a chair. I believe it shouldn't be difficult given Mr. Black Wolf's popularity."

"You overestimate me. If I could borrow a chair, I wouldn't be a passerby." Lei's voice remained calm.

However, Bearded Lily was stunned. "Could it be that Mr. Black Wolf chose to become a passerby just to protect Miss Yue? Could it be that I'm wrong? Everyone else said the same thing..."

Lei took a deep breath and pursed his lips. He neither denied nor admitted it, but his eyes fell on Mingyue beside him.

At this time, the passionate music gradually became soothing, and there was not much time left for the participants to grab chairs.

"Alas~" Bearded Lily looked up at the speakers above her head, exhaled, put her chips away, and said with regret, "It seems like I can only become a passerby. I really don't want to accept this."

"It's too early to give up. The music hasn't ended yet. Let's not disturb Mr. Monkey." Lei took Mingyue's hand and turned to leave.

Bearded Lily looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Soft piano music echoed in the cabin, and the unclear lyrics sounded like someone whispering or plotting something.

Lei glanced behind him calmly, and when he saw the fat, bearded man hadn't followed him, he breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced out the porthole, watching the waves surging outside and the clouds thickening in the sky.

"You didn't really become a passerby because of me, did you?" Mingyue looked at Lei with suspicion. "It would be great if you weren't a passerby."

"If I'm not a stranger, there's no reason for me to follow you." Lei's lips curled slightly, revealing a rare smile. "You don't seem to be someone's bargaining chip."

Mingyue put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly, "He's almost become a passerby. No matter how many chips we give him, they will all be garbage."

As Mingyue finished speaking, the last note of the music dissipated into the air, and the game of musical chairs ended.

"Who do you think will win this game?" Lei looked at Mingyue, trying to get more information.

"I said, will you help me get the chips?" Mingyue smiled with her eyes curved like a cunning little fox.

Just as Lei opened his mouth to say something, the announcement sounded again: "This round has produced a passerby. All participants, please return to Room 4. Voting is about to begin."

Mingyue's lips curled slightly, "I guess this new passerby should be Monkey."

"Oh?" Lei looked at Mingyue beside him, "Are you sure?"

"Of course." Mingyue raised her head and looked at Lei with a confident smile on her face. "He volunteered to be a passerby."

Hearing this, Lei frowned slightly, "Huh? He volunteered? Why?"

However, facing Lei's question, Mingyue curled her lips and said nothing. She glanced at the layers of clouds outside the window, turned and walked towards Room 4.

Lei guessed that Mingyue would not answer him, so he exhaled and looked around. Seeing that the gamblers around him had different expressions, he followed Mingyue and walked slowly towards Room 4, but not long after, he heard a familiar voice.

Mingyue also looked in the direction of the sound and saw two familiar figures.

"I can guarantee that you will still be the one in charge this round." The tabby cat girl patted her chest and promised.

"Tell me, which chair do you want me to delete?" The man in the red fox mask noticed his gaze and glanced behind him expressionlessly. Seeing that it was Black Wolf and Gray Rabbit, he withdrew his gaze.

The tabby cat girl rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "Number 9."

"Whose chair?"

"Oh, why are you asking so many questions?" The tabby cat girl looked around nervously. After catching a glimpse of the gray rabbit and the black wolf, she quickly looked away and said in a flattering tone, "I'm sure this is definitely not your chair, and it will only benefit you."

The man in the red fox mask did not respond, but strode towards Room 4.

The tabby cat girl had to walk a few quick steps to barely catch up with the red fox masked man. "Please, please give me a reply, or I'll be so nervous."

"I need to think about it. I can't reply for the time being." The man with the red fox mask quickened his pace, as if he wanted to get rid of the tabby cat girl.

But the tabby cat lady wouldn't let him have his way. She trotted after the man in the red fox mask and said with a smile, "You're not worried that this number belongs to Mr. Gray Wolf or Mr. Siamese Cat, are you? Don't worry, it's not theirs. I've asked."

"Whose?" The man in the red fox mask glanced at the tabby cat girl beside him, and saw her chest rising and falling, so he slowed down his pace.

"Huh~" The tabby cat girl took a deep breath. "I checked for you, it's not their chair. You have to believe me, I want you to be the winner of this game."

The man in the red fox mask glanced at the black wolf following behind him. After a moment of contemplation, he met the expectant eyes of the tabby cat girl and asked, "Have you seen Mr. Owl?"

"Huh?" The tabby cat girl had never expected the red fox masked man to suddenly ask this question. She blinked and replied in confusion, "I didn't see it. What's wrong?"

"Nothing." The man in the red fox mask withdrew his gaze. He was sure that the tabby cat girl had not deceived him on this issue.

Suddenly, the tabby cat girl looked as if she had suddenly realized something. "I see. You're worried that chair number 9 belongs to Mr. Owl, right? Don't worry, that chair is definitely not his. I can guarantee it."

"Are you so sure?" A hint of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the man with the red fox mask.

The tabby cat girl wanted to pat her chest and make a promise again, but a voice came from behind her, strangling the words she was about to say in her throat.

"Of course she is sure, because..."
