After the male dwarf finished speaking, he turned around and ran away in a panic.

Pei Zhiyi straightened up, raised her lips as she watched the gradually disappearing figure. She had no doubt that he would come back to find her.

At the same time, someone on the other side was observing everyone's every move.

"Does Wang have any promising partners?"

The dwarf king took a leisurely sip of his tea and replied calmly, "What's the point of me being optimistic? If you don't have the real ability, it's all in vain."

"So, the king already has a favorite candidate."

The dwarf elders were all guessing in their hearts what the Dwarf King was thinking, but unfortunately, they could not get any words out of the Dwarf King. The Dwarf King was too cautious and never showed his emotions on his face, let alone trying to find any clues from his expression.

"There's still a month left. Elders, feel free to continue placing bets and change your bettors at any time. There's no need to speculate on my intentions. After all, the outcome will naturally become clear when the month is up."

"Yes."

The Dwarf King nodded, then sent the people away, leaving only his confidants.

"The girl you brought is indeed quite good, but why did you only bet so little? Don't you have any confidence in her?"

The male dwarf shook his head and bowed respectfully to the Dwarf King. "As you said, King, no matter how good they are, the situation could change at any time before the one-month deadline. Naturally, I'll save my bet for the last minute and choose the one with the best chance."

"You're still cautious," the Dwarf King couldn't help but sigh. "Look at those elders. They're all dying to hear the outcome from me right now. But how can I know the outcome in advance?"

The male dwarves have always been very accurate in guessing the dwarf king's psychology. Serving the king is like serving a tiger. The good days of those elders are coming to an end.

"What the king said makes sense, so I have always followed his lead. But why should the king care about those old stubborn people? They have no skills but are too nosy. Sooner or later, they will step down from their positions on their own."

The dwarf king suddenly burst into laughter and patted the male dwarf on the shoulder, "You really know the situation."

The male dwarf's shoulder was slapped so hard that it hurt terribly, but he couldn't show it on his face. He could only continue to flatter the Dwarf King to make him happy, and then be ready to leave at any time.

"The king is our leader, so I will naturally only listen to his instructions."

"Hmm." The Dwarf King was very satisfied. "Well, I'm tired today too. You can go down first."

"Yes."

After the male dwarf left, the dwarf king did not look tired at all. He jumped down from the throne in a hurry and knelt down to salute in a certain direction.

"Welcome, my lord."

"How did things go?"

The dwarf king didn't dare to raise his head, and kept reporting with his head down: "Things are moving in the direction we planned. Your Excellency, don't worry."

"But I heard there's a new person coming?"

The Dwarf King was trembling with fear. He could not tell the mood and thoughts of the adult in front of him. He only knew that the calmer the adult's tone, the more frightening it was.

"Don't worry, sir. It's just another group of humans who want to cooperate with us on this mission."

"Mind your own business." The woman, hidden in the darkness, stretched out her hands, ready to kill at any moment. "If I can save your life, I can just as easily take yours. Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this position, so don't let me know you're trying to escape my control. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whose head will be hung on the altar next time."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The dwarf king kowtowed quickly, his small body trembling. "Your Excellency has saved my life, and I would never dare betray you. I have also been diligently carrying out your orders, so you can rest assured."

"What are you afraid of?"

The woman chuckled and raised her fingers slightly. The dwarf king kneeling in front of her was instantly driven by a force and floated in the air.

"You don't have to be afraid of me. As long as you don't have the intention of betraying me, I won't attack you."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The Dwarf King's face was covered in sweat. He didn't dare to look down at all. His life now depended on the frown and smile of this adult.

"Snapped!"

The moment the woman withdrew her power, the dwarf king fell directly to the ground and prostrated himself.

"I'll come back in a few days, and then I hope to see the results."

"clear."

The woman finally left, and the Dwarf King collapsed on the ground, completely exhausted, and it took him a long time to recover from the shadow of death.

At the same time, Pei Zhiyi felt his body suddenly shake involuntarily, as if it was a little out of control.

This feeling... is exactly the same as the one I felt last time on the high-rise building in Rhine City.

Pei Zhiyi looked around and didn't see anything wrong.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with this body?" Pei Zhiyi muttered to himself, then quickly denied the idea. "That shouldn't be the case. Ten thousand year old agarwood shouldn't be of such poor quality."

"Yiyi~Are you okay?"

The three little ones were extremely worried in Pei Zhiyi's sea of ​​consciousness.

Pei Zhiyi smiled slightly, "Nothing, maybe I've been practicing too much recently, so I feel a little uncomfortable."

These were just words to comfort the three little ones. Pei Zhiyi knew in his heart that this was definitely not caused by cultivation.

"That's good."

Yao Lingling was relieved, but when Bai Ze and Qilin looked at each other, they still saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

If they guessed correctly, it should be her who came.

But they can't say this speculation, even if they are beaten to death.

Pei Zhiyi rubbed his temples. It seemed that it was not appropriate to explore anymore today. He should go back and have a good rest.

"I'm home."

Zhu Qing is also a woman and is more sensitive to emotions. She instantly felt that Pei Zhiyi's state before and after leaving was completely different from his current state.

"What's wrong? Did something bad happen outside?"

Pei Zhiyi shook his head. "It's just that I've been practicing too much recently and my body is a little weak, so I hurried back to rest."

"Well, I just made the bed."

Zhu Qing treated Pei Zhiyi as her sister and immediately pulled her over to let her lie down. "The four of us will keep watch tonight, so you can rest in peace."

Pei Zhiyi wanted to say something else, but Zhu Qing immediately hushed her. "We've been around for so many years, and we have plenty of skills. You don't need to worry too much about us."

"No, I mean," Pei Zhiyi pointed at the candles in the tent, "can you put out a few more of these candles? They're too bright and I can't sleep."

The four talented people: "..." They are being too sentimental again.
