It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Lu Yuanshi's gaze fell on Xiao Huai's palm, but saw that Xiao Huai subconsciously put his hand behind his back.

Lu Yuanshi didn't say anything, he just walked to the bed, sat down casually, tilted his head slightly, and his dark eyes were filled with a bit of lazy inquiry.

Xiao Huai raised his eyes and looked at him, his tone calm but defensive: "What are you doing?"

After a moment, Lu Yuanshi spoke softly. His voice was low and gentle, but it seemed to be able to penetrate Xiao Huai's defenses.

"You've done a great job."

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to say that.

Lu Yuanshi continued, "For most people, collecting just one desire would already make them lose control. If you want to give up, it's not too late—you can give me those desires."

Xiao Huai was silent for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "No."

Lu Yuanshi's eyes darkened, and he asked again, "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid." Xiao Huai answered bluntly, without flinching. "But even if it's dangerous, I'll do it."

Lu Yuanshi didn't say anything else.

Xiao Huai knew what he was doing, but even so, he couldn't stop.

The difficulty of the main quest is a bit strange, especially the fifteenth-level dungeon, which is a bit abnormal.

It’s simple to say but it’s not simple at all.

But if he gave up directly, he would not be able to collect the chaos fragments and would not be able to touch the edge of the truth.

There was another reason why he did not reject Lu Yuanshi's approach these days.

The Savior's basic attributes seem like a match made in heaven when combined with Lu Yuanshi.

There is no upper limit to task completion.

The savior attribute was actually raised to MAX in a short period of time.

100%

Every time the attribute increases by 10%, the system will give out rewards, including not only precious props but also a clue.

The clues are very clear:

"Some quests exist simply to lure prey into a trap."

"Do you know what you are betting on?" Lu Yuanshi suddenly spoke in a low and steady voice.

"I know." Xiao Huai lowered his eyes, a persistent light burning in his red eyes. "I'm betting on the future, and also on the answer."

Lu Yuanshi's eyes softened. He curled his lips slightly and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Huai, with his fingertips bent, as if to signal him to stretch out his hand.

However, Xiao Huai did not move, obviously not intending to show his hand to Lu Yuanshi.

Lu Yuanshi directly held Xiao Huai's hand.

Xiao Huai wanted to pull back, but Lu Yuanshi held him tightly.

A force flowed into Xiao Huai's body through Lu Yuanshi's hand.

The warm touch gradually dispelled the original anxiety and gloom.

At this moment, his world seemed to be soothed by some invisible force.

Xiao Huai frowned slightly and was about to speak when a picture suddenly flashed through his mind.

The trace of the last incarnation of desire flashed through his consciousness like a bolt of lightning, pointing directly in the direction of the answer.

When Xiao Huai looked up at Lu Yuan, he found that his figure gradually became illusory.

If Shura wants to hide his tracks, no one can stop him.

He could no longer see Lu Yuanshi, but he could hear his last words.

"Then let's gamble together."

His figure completely disappeared, leaving only the echo of his voice echoing in the wind.

When those words fell, Xiao Huai's pupils shrank slightly, and an indescribable feeling of unease surged in his heart.

why?

He lowered his head and thought about Lu Yuanshi's attitude, and the doubts in his mind became more profound.

Hasn't Lu Yuanshi in this world always been a bystander watching the fun?

He never really interfered with Xiao Huai's mission, and each time he was more interested in the nightmares Xiao Huai created.

But the sentence just now... revealed a completely different meaning.

He suddenly raised his head, and with a hint of anxiety in his voice, he called out, "Lu Yuanshi."

But the only response he got was silence.

In an instant, those seemingly insignificant details fell into place.

Xiao Huai realized one thing...

Lu Yuanshi.

The most familiar person is back.

The breath, the memories, and... the way he was treated.

Xiao Huai closed his eyes, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, complex and profound.

My palms clenched involuntarily.

The gamble has been made and there is no turning back.

·Celebration Day·

The night in Shura Road was as quiet as ever. Bai Xian stood on the lookout, stroking the letter that had just been delivered with his fingers.

The black envelope was printed with golden patterns, which sparkled brightly.

He casually opened the envelope, glanced at the contents, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hungry Ghost Realm Festival? It's new this year." His voice was full of lazy teasing, but also revealed a bit of interest.

Ye Yin, who was standing nearby, also received an invitation letter.

Invite those people from the Shura Realm to participate in this round of Hungry Ghost Realm celebration.

Excitement flickered in their azure eyes, as if they were already anticipating how thrilling the unknown game would be.

But compared to the game, they were more curious about what Xiao Huai would do.

On the other side, the city center of the Hungry Ghost Realm was already bustling with activity.

The entire block was completely cleared out, replaced by a grand parade.

The neon lights on the surrounding high-rise buildings and the torches on the streets complement each other, rendering the entire city center like a carnival in another world.

The deep and shocking music resounded through the sky, and every beat seemed to be knocking on people's hearts.

The huge underworld beast walked slowly across the central avenue. It was four meters tall, its jet-black fur shone glossy under the light, and each step was as steady and powerful as an earthquake.

Yan Ming leaned lazily on the back of the underworld beast, his black hair fluttering in the wind, and his dark eyes looked even more enchanting under the light.

His sharp teeth were slightly exposed, and there was an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth.

The crowd around was already boiling with excitement. Countless hungry ghosts looked up at Yan Ming and exclaimed:

"Wow... Monarch! It's the Monarch!" Their eyes were full of admiration and greed, as if as long as they got a little closer to Yan Ming, they would be able to obtain supreme glory.

Yan Ming glanced around coldly, his smile deepened, and with a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of colorful glass pieces fell from the sky, scattering across the entire block like raindrops.

Those are the purest desires! They are priceless. If you grab them, how far will reincarnation be?

In an instant, the crowd exploded, and those hungry ghosts rushed towards the place where the glass fell regardless of everything, snatching it frantically, pushing and shoving, and even starting to fight.

Yan Ming watched all this, and the smile on his lips became even colder.

He leaned on the back of the Hades Beast, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"A little more, a little more." The voice was so soft that it seemed like he was talking to himself.

Just when the hungry ghosts' frantic snatching reached its climax, Yan Ming lightly snapped his fingers.

The sound was not loud, but it seemed like some hidden mechanism had been activated.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the shadows around, and the ground began to shake.

The next second, thousands of underworld beasts rushed out from all directions. They were huge in size, with sharp teeth shining coldly. Accompanied by a suffocating fishy wind, they tore and devoured those who had just snatched the colored glass one by one.

"Ahh-!"
