Its head is like a dragon, but its body is like a giant crocodile. Wherever it flies, frost falls, and where it stays, waterspouts appear on the sea below.

At the same time, a prompt popped up in front of Yu Xunge.

[Your most important creature, Zhuri, has agreed to participate in this game. In 5 minutes, the Mosasaur will enter the sea. Please be prepared.]

This tip is also displayed on the right side of the screen in Moonlight Wetlands - Xunge.

The blood elf gasped, not even bothering to play dumb. She turned to the pink-haired dwarf and said, "That's the soul fire! Can you guarantee she can win?"

The pink-haired dwarf sat in the large audience chair, a tiny ball, smaller than the cubs of many creatures, but the moment you met her eyes, you knew you couldn't convince her to change any decision she had made.

Zhuri said: "I can't guarantee it, but I'm willing to bet everything on her."

The blood elf was speechless because of a certain look in Zhuri's eyes that she could not describe. For a moment, she thought that after more than forty years, she was still Zhuri.

She has never changed.

She was so contradictory. In the last game, she was unwilling to show any warmth and support like other teachers, but at this moment... at this moment, she became the only one who agreed to participate in the game.

Yes, the only one.

On the golden hills, the rules of the game "Bet Everything" and the number of participants in the game are floating: [1]

Day by day... Day by day...

The blood elf thought of a scene she had seen a long time ago, and that scene lingered in her mind.

That day she received a notice from Zhuri that because of the stupid mistake she made, she would no longer be in the next Shenming Game team competition.

She was so angry that she completely forgot her fear, admiration and awe of Zhuri. She forgot Zhuri's domineering, stubbornness and strength.

She searched every corner of the Moonlight Wetlands, and finally found Zhuri practicing daggers by the Moonlight Lake where Zhuri often gave his teammates extra lessons.

The days did not stop because of her arrival. She was always like this, with such a bad personality that as many people liked her as hated her.

But just then a blue butterfly flew over. It seemed not to see the silver light and murderous intent produced when the dagger cut through the air, and flew crookedly to Zhuri's side.

At that moment, Zhuri suddenly stopped moving. She withdrew her attack, straightened her body, and stood by the lake in a casual and lazy manner. She raised the dagger that she wiped dozens of times every day, caught the blue butterfly with injured wings, and let it rest on the blade of the dagger.

The shadow of the tree fell on her face, making the smile on her lips seem unreal.

The impact of that scene was so great that she forgot her anger and was left with only sadness.

If this cold-blooded and heartless guy really had a soft spot in his heart, she would rather give him a wounded blue butterfly than herself.

She didn't say another word to Zhuri. It was meaningless. No one could change what Zhuri had decided. She turned around and left.

Countless times in the middle of the night over the years, that scene would always appear in her mind.

What happened to the butterfly on the dagger?

Did Zhuri heal it and then let it fly away? Or did he wield his dagger and put it to death the very next second after he left?

There is always no answer to this question.

If it is a day-by-day basis, it seems that either answer is possible.

In her heart, the freeze frame of that moment and all the possibilities of this question are enough to interpret the daily life in her heart - cruel and romantic.

To Zhuri, all living things in the world are no different from the butterfly resting on the blade.

The blood elf remained silent for a long time, lost in his own memories, but the undead next to him couldn't help but say, "What if your apprentice doesn't want to play this game? A level 100 Mosasaur is really too much..."

Zhuri said: "She is willing."

On the screen, the blue spotted fish jumped out of the sea happily. She didn't say anything, but her actions were enough to express everything.

Zhuri chuckled: "You see, she is willing."

The blood elf suddenly asked a very disappointing question, but the look she gave the pink-haired dwarf was so serious that it was impossible to feel annoyed with her. She really wanted to know, not just to spoil the fun for the sake of spoiling the fun.

She asked, "If she fails, will you be disappointed in her? Will you punish her?"

On the screen, a Kiefer angel fish swam up to Blue Spot and asked her if she agreed to the game.

The appearance of Mosasaur proves that there are people willing to participate in this game.

It's really interesting. It's like when everyone thinks something is crazy, and suddenly they find out that someone actually did it, then Zhuri is the most suspicious person.

There was obvious pride in Blue Blue's tone as she said, "Yes, Zhuri agreed."

Kiefer Angelfish said worriedly, "I don't want to curse you, nor do I not believe in your ability... Well, I mean, what if you fail? Zhuri will be very disappointed."

"Of course she'll be angry and disappointed, and probably punish me. That's totally unreasonable, isn't it?"

Off-screen, Zhuri answered the blood elves' questions almost at the same time.

"Yes, I will be disappointed, and I will punish her." Zhuri did not mince words. She knew what answer the other party wanted, and she also knew that the other party was still brooding over something that happened more than 40 years ago. But she was too lazy to comfort anyone, nor was she too lazy to lie to mend anyone's heart wounds so many years later.

"With her ability, she won't lose this game. If I can do it, then she must be able to do it too.

“But my apprentice will never be angry or feel aggrieved because of my disappointment or punishment.

“She doesn’t need hugs or comfort… well, she might want those things… but if she really fails and causes me to lose my soul fire, even if I suddenly go crazy and declare her no longer my apprentice, she won’t direct her anger at me.

“She remembers all the love and care I put into her, and she’s not going to dismiss it just because she didn’t get what she wanted.

"Zhuguang, I will tell you what she will do. She will try every possible means to find a way to restore my soul fire. Until one day, she will find me holding my soul fire and ask if I am willing to continue to be her teacher.

"She will make up for the consequences of her failure - even if the consequences are not solely her fault, I am also partly responsible - instead of being angry at my indifference and asking why I don't forgive her and why I don't give her a second chance."

The black cat didn't dare to speak. It felt that it heard the sound of Zhuguang's heart bleeding.

Zhuri didn't say anything bad about Zhuguang, but every word she said for her apprentice pierced Zhuguang's heart.

……

Wu Ren didn't know what to say, but Fat Goose, who came for the same reason, told him what Wu Ren was really worried about.

He said, "It's fine if it's just a punishment, but what if Zhuri gets angry and doesn't want you as his apprentice anymore?"

Yu Xunge looked at the Mosasaur in the sky and said in a light voice, "If I fail miserably and make too many mistakes that I shouldn't have made, it's not impossible."

"What about you?"

"What should I do? Maybe... maybe I should first find a way to restore Chaser's soul fire, and then ask her if she's willing to continue being my teacher. This might take years, and by then, she should have calmed down."

The Mosasaur in the sky had already swam downstream along the waterspout. Yu Xunge said the last words to his little friend before running away.

"Although I think she would also bear half the responsibility if it really failed, but after all she is my teacher."
