Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

Yu Xiangwan was taken aback by Yu Zhuo's words. He pursed his lips and stiffly put the gun away.

"...Are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course, what's the point of me lying to you?" Yu Zhuo sat back down on the bed. "What happened before has nothing to do with you, but it does concern me. I will resolve what needs to be resolved."

"How are Mom and Dad doing now?" Yu Zhuo asked Yu Xiangwan.

Yu Xiangwan paused for a moment: "Same as before, the hospital can't find anything."

Due to the influence of systemic energy, it is indeed difficult for them to detect and resolve the problem using ordinary medical equipment.

"How are you going to help us?" Yu Xiangwan asked. "You haven't been back for many years. What happened before... are you sure you can handle it?"

“Even if I’m not sure you can rely on me, you can only do so much.” Yu Zhuo said calmly. “Besides me, can you find any other useful people? General Lin Shuang is indeed quite capable, but the matter involves five hundred years ago, and he doesn’t know as much as I do.”

Yu Xiangwan remained silent.

"The matter at the palace should be resolved by now. Just pack your things and leave with us," Yu Zhuo said.

Yu Xiangwan frowned upon hearing the voice: "...With you?"

Yu Zhuo sat to the side, gave a soft hum, and gestured with his chin behind him as if to give a hint.

Yu Xiangwan was stunned. He turned his head and saw that Zhou Yanshu had entered the villa at some point and was standing silently less than five meters away from him.

"……count."

Zhou Yanshu's face remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger. A layer of unclear gloom settled in his silver eyes, and upon hearing the sound, he walked straight past Yu Xiangwan.

Yu Xiangwan was on edge. Although Zhou Yanshu was an Omega, his rating in all aspects was S, which was comparable to that of a high-level Alpha.

He was secretly alarmed; he had calculated the timing when he first arrived. After Lin Shuang attacked and entered the imperial city, Zhou Yanshu should also be there to fight. He had deliberately chosen a time when Yu Zhuo was alone to come over.

I didn't expect Zhou Yanshu to come back so quickly...

"You're back so early today?" Yu Zhuo raised an eyebrow at Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu strode past Yu Xiangwan, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to Yu Zhuo.

"Not early." Zhou Yanshu's gaze slowly swept over Yu Zhuo. He didn't see any wounds, and finally, he casually shifted his gaze to Yu Xiangwan. "Otherwise, why would the little mouse have taken the opportunity to sneak in?"

Yu Xiangwan: "..."

Yu Zhuo chuckled, then turned to look at Yu Xiangwan and said, "The Earl will be going with us; this is my way of showing my sincerity towards you."

Yu Xiangwan remained silent. He could remain calm and composed when facing Yu Zhuo, but he always subconsciously felt threatened and uncomfortable when facing Zhou Yanshu, a mermaid noble who had spent years in the royal family.

Zhou Yanshu had arrived here at some unknown time, and he had probably overheard Yu Xiangwan and Yu Zhuo's conversation. The fact that he hadn't attacked Yu Xiangwan was likely out of consideration for Yu Zhuo.

This is the former king of the merfolk, and the emperor who will soon ascend the throne again.

At the same time... he is also Yu Zhuo's Omega.

Yu Xiangwan lowered his head at the opportune moment, revealing a hint of temporary concession.

"Guard Yu, can't you hear me?" Not hearing Yu Xiangwan's reply, Zhou Yanshu also looked up. "We have shown you our sincerity, and what about you?"

There was no kindness in his eyes; his pure silver pupils were prone to flashing cold light, as if he were always calculating something.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Zhou Yanshu and then suddenly knelt down on one knee before Yu Zhuo: "I will naturally follow my parents' teachings and swear to protect my king with my life."

He knelt down in just the right direction and at the right angle, facing only Yu Zhuo, without letting Zhou Yanshu gain any advantage.

They have only ever recognized one king since hundreds of years ago. Although Yu Xiangwan disliked Yu Zhuo, she still tended to side with Lu Bu.

Few members of the merman royal family are good people. No one is willing to kneel before them.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanshu sneered, lowered his eyes and fiddled with his knuckles without saying another word.

“You’ve come at just the right time. We were planning to go to the Abyss to take care of some things anyway.” Yu Zhuo stood up and said, “You can just leave with us then.”

Yu Xiangwan seemed to have something else to ask. He opened his mouth, but when he looked up, he saw Zhou Yanshu looking at him with some impatience.

"...When? So I can prepare in advance." Yu Xiangwan changed her mind before speaking, only asking the most basic question.

“After the new king ascends the throne, I will have your contact information. I will send you a message in advance when the opportunity arises,” Yu Zhuo said. “Or…would you like to stay here for now?”

Yu Xiangwan: "No need. I have to go back later, I'll come over when it's time."

"Row."

Yu Xiangwan did not linger at the Earl's apartment. After speaking, he quickly jumped out of the window and disappeared into the woods outside.

Yu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Zhou Yanshu and asked, "Is the matter with Lin Shuang resolved? I thought you would stay there for a while, since Tamo is not easy to deal with."

“Tamo has escaped.” Zhou Yanshu frowned slightly and said, “There’s no one in the main hall, only a pool of blood and a bloodstained longsword.”

"What?" Yu Zhuo was surprised. He rolled his eyes and continued to ask, "What about Qi Mohan? He's been the only one who's been advising Tamo all this time. He might know the details of what happened."

Zhou Yanshu sighed: "Qi Mohan has also disappeared."

Yu Zhuo: "..."

"What a coincidence!" Yu Zhu kicked away the broken glass beside him. "Did they run away together?"

"Lin Shuang is still conducting a thorough search. But no matter what, the palace has been captured by the soldiers, and even if Tamo is alive, it won't change anything."

Yu Zhuo nodded upon hearing this. Zhou Yanshu glanced at him and asked, "Are you taking Yu Xiangwan with you to the Abyss? That's not a place a tabby cat like him can go."

"The more people there are, the more strength we have. He's a 3S-level Alpha, and he can help us a lot by going there."

Yu Zhuo approached Zhou Yanshu and reached out to wipe the dust off his face with his fingertips. "Besides, they really helped me a lot. I can't ignore this body and the punishment the main system has imposed on them."

Zhou Yanshu's eyes curved slightly. He rubbed his cheek against Yu Zhuo's palm and said, "I'm just afraid he has ulterior motives."

“I’ll keep an eye on him and won’t give him a chance,” Yu Zhuo said. “But brother, you…”

“I want to go too,” Zhou Yanshu suddenly said.

Yu Zhuo paused, meeting the pair of silver eyes that vaguely revealed wariness, and said helplessly, "Of course, we agreed beforehand that I would go with you."

Zhou Yanshu narrowed his long eyes slightly. Yu Zhuo had a history of abandoning him, and now that he was entering the abyss again, Zhou Yanshu was particularly careful and cautious.

"It's just that it's extremely cold down there, so you should wear more clothes." Yu Zhu kissed Zhou Yanshu's lips, slowly rubbing the flesh of his thigh with his palm. "Your leg injury has just healed, so remember to swim slowly."

The air gradually became thin and scorching. Zhou Yanshu put his arm around Yu Zhuo's waist and murmured an "Mmm".

After their brief intimacy, both of them secretly plotted something.

Yu Zhuo was unsure of Tamo and Qi Mohan's situation, and after some thought, decided to leave them alone for the time being.

The main system is the most important.

Yu Zhuo put his phone aside and worked on his plan until midnight. It wasn't until he turned on the screen again that he suddenly remembered his previous plan.

He hasn't contacted Shen Yisui yet.

Yu Zhuo swiped his finger across the screen, then clicked on the black heart-shaped app again, before his body froze.

The software was completely empty; all data and information had been deleted.
