Infinite: Dawn Game

The room fell silent for a moment.

Until Yu Shijiu turned to look at the old woman still moving stools in the corner, her voice was cold and aggrieved:

"Grandma! Who are they? Why are they sitting in my seat!"

As she spoke, Yu Shijiu's gaze swept over Qi Tie and Mu Gui, her eyes wide with anger.

Zhao Xuan: "..."

Qi Tie and Mu Gui, who were quite frightened, were speechless.

The old lady was also speechless, but she still responded to Yu Shijiu's unreasonable behavior with a twitching smile:

"These tourists had nowhere to eat, so I invited them to come and eat here—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Shijiu interrupted him: "No way!"

Yu Shijiu walked forward earnestly and placed both bowls of rice on the table, saying righteously:

“This meal was prepared by my grandma, Feifei, and me. They didn’t help, so why should they eat? I won’t allow it.”

The old lady's fake smile froze at the corner of her mouth: "..."

This, this is something that should have been "invited" in the first place—

Just as the old lady's mind went blank, Zhao Xuan stood up and spoke directly:

“We are tourists too. Since the old lady invited us to dinner, you have no right to say no.”

Perhaps out of jealousy that Yu Shijiu could gain Zhou Yuanyang's special attention, Zhao Xuan felt much better after saying those words.

So what if we don't want to feed them? We still have to obey the NPCs.

Yu Shijiu seemed to freeze for a moment. He looked at Zhao Xuan's undisguised smug eyes, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhao Xuan's collar:

“I remember you,” Yu Shijiu said softly. He suddenly lowered his head and leaned close to Zhao Xuan’s somewhat surprised face, his cheeks slightly sunken with dimples.

"Just a small fry trying to get me to join your guild by offering up a rotten arm."

Zhao Xuan: "..."

He was stunned for a few seconds, then slammed his fist on the table in a rage: "Yu Shijiu, you've gone too far!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xuan seemed unable to contain his temper. The boomerang that he had put back in his backpack reappeared, its sharp, cold light aimed directly at Yu Shijiu's face.

Yu Shijiu seemed not to care much. He looked down at the food on the table that had almost been overturned, and his smile deepened.

This food smelled so good, and I put so much effort into making it... and this person almost knocked it over...

Just as the boomerang was about to strike Yu Shijiu's neck, Zhao Xuan suddenly stopped.

Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he slowly lowered his gaze without moving his neck.

A fruit knife that had appeared out of nowhere was already pressed against Zhao Xuan's throat, its sharp tip already embedded in the skin of his neck.

A sharp pain shot through his neck. Zhao Xuan should have been afraid, but instead, he felt a surge of indignation at being toyed with by Yu Shijiu.

Why, why should a newcomer treat themselves like this?!

Qi Tie and Mu Gui were so frightened by the tense scene that they stood rooted to the spot and dared not move. The latter wanted to say something, but he was too intimidated by the menacing aura emanating from the two men in front of him to move forward.

Yu Shijiu was still smiling. He tapped an empty spot on the table with his other hand, his tone sweet:

“You almost spilled the food just now,” Yu Shijiu said, frowning.

"This is very bad. Do you know how many people in this world don't have enough to eat? They can't even get expired food?"

Zhao Xuan: "..."

He snorted coldly, and the boomerang that was stopped in front of Yu Shijiu took another step closer.

"let go."

Zhao Xuan said, "If you don't want to die."

Qi Tie and Mu Gui behind them: "..."

Qi Tie seemed unable to resist; he quietly moved closer to Mu Gui and lowered his head.

"Has Brother Zhao suddenly lost his mind?"

Isn't Yu Shijiu gaining the upper hand in this scene?

"..." Mu Gui seemed to know something, his expression turning somewhat grim. He muttered something under his breath:

"no……"

"what?"

Qi Tie didn't hear clearly and wanted to hear it again, but Mu Gui refused to speak no matter what.

At the same time, Yu Shijiu chuckled, and without hesitation, the fruit knife in his hand plunged into Zhao Xuan's neck. With a soft sound of skin being cut, Zhao Xuan's body suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The boomerang stabbed fiercely at Yu Shijiu, who dodged it by twisting his waist. As the boomerang hurtled towards him again, Yu Shijiu used a little force to plunge the fruit knife in his hand into a corner where the light couldn't reach.

puff.

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

Qi Tie and Mu Gui looked over at the same time and saw Zhao Xuan in the corner, his face dark, pulling a fruit knife from his chest and throwing it to the ground.

"What a vicious hand."

Zhao Xuan's voice was hoarse, and red blood was still flowing from his neck. He casually tore off a piece of his clothes and tied it tightly around his neck, completely ignoring his stinging wound.

“You’re pretty ruthless too,” Yu Shijiu said without backing down. He chuckled and grabbed the boomerang that was trying to slash at him. The skin on his palm began to bleed from the force of the boomerang.

"Look, I'm bleeding too."

As Yu Shijiu spoke, he hurled the boomerang at Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan dodged to the side, and at the same time reached out and put the boomerang back into his system inventory.

He gritted his teeth, and under Yu Shijiu's gaze once again, bent down, picked up the fruit knife stained with his own blood, and threw it at Yu Shijiu.

The fruit knife sliced ​​through the air before being grabbed by Yu Shijiu's blood-stained hand.

He bent down and carefully wiped the blood off the fruit knife with his clothes, then put the fruit knife into his system inventory.

Fatty, who had been waiting in the wings, finally couldn't hold back and charged over. It first roared fiercely at Zhao Xuan, and then rushed impatiently towards Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu reached out her clean hand and stroked its head, whispering:

"You're so obedient, Fatty. You don't move when I tell you not to. I like you even more now."

His response was met with an even more furious and worried roar from Fatty:

"...Meow meow meow!!!"

Even her usually soft, coquettish voice had changed.

Yu Shijiu knew that something seemed off, so he bent down and reached out to scratch Feifei's chin again. He was always very patient with Feifei.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I won't stop you from standing up for me anymore."

Fatty finally stopped.

However, when Zhao Xuan passed by, it couldn't help but scratch him with its paw.

"hiss--"

Zhao Xuan looked at his arm, which had been scratched again, and his already pale face turned even paler.

"How dare Lu Chusheng release you alone?"

Zhao Xuan made a comment, then looked around to see if Lu Chusheng was there, and sat down after confirming that he wasn't.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the old lady remained silent, like a statue frozen in place.

Only after seeing Zhao Xuan and the other two sit down with Yu Shijiu's "permission" did she shakily carry the bowl she had just gotten from the kitchen and step forward, raising a smile:

"That's good, we're all tourists, there's no need to get into a fight..."
