Ye Luoli: The Charismatic Girl Leads the World to Darkness

That reason... even a dog would shake its head at it.

Do you two have such a strong aura of gunpowder that you could blow up this villa if you just set it on fire?

After a couple of seconds of silence, Yan Xi twitched her eye and said, "Do you two think I'm an idiot?"

Actually... it's not impossible...

Mo Ran coughed lightly, covering the corner of his mouth with his hand, his eyes darting around as he thought. Gao Taiming next to him seemed to be thinking the same thing; he loosened his tie, and the corners of his lips involuntarily turned up.

However, imagining it is one thing, but telling it out loud is another.

The two women had no doubt that if they said that, they would be subjected to a storm of love from Yan Xi.

Then, driven by their survival instincts, Mo Ran and Gao Taiming, seemingly in perfect unison, exclaimed in unison, "x... doesn't look like it!"

"Really, I'm not lying to you." Mo Ran cupped her face in her hands, blinking her large, bright eyes frantically. "Look into my sincere eyes."

In an instant, special effects appeared, and Mo Ran's eyes emitted a bling-bling golden light, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.

...All I can say is, this is truly the world of anime...and truly, it's worthy of the name Mo Ran.

Yan Xi raised her right hand to cover her eyes, and used her left hand to stop Gao Taiming from making the same shining gesture as Mo Ran. The mask of pain was already on her face.

Well, Mo Ran is indeed an unapproachable figure; she has no choice but to keep asking.

"Alright, you two, stop playing these tricks on me. I won't ask anymore, okay?"

Upon hearing Yan Xi's words, Mo Ran immediately lowered her hand, straightened her skirt, and instantly regained her aloof expression: "Hey, if you had said so earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

Yan Xi: ...

Yan Xi looked up and glanced at Mo Ran, as if to say: So you're blaming me after all?

Mo Ran smiled, his eyes responding: Anyway, it's not my fault.

Yan Xi rolled her eyes helplessly: Fine, blame me then.

Gao Taiming didn't understand anything. He looked at Yan Xi and the other person winking and exchanging glances with a blank expression, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't get a word in edgewise.

In short, his expression can be summed up in two words: frustrated and resentful.

"I won't ask why you two can't stand each other, but you two remember this,"

As she spoke, Yan Xi rolled her eyes again, raised her index finger as if to point at Mo Ran and the other person in front of her, but halfway through, she suddenly bent her finger, her raised hand making a bend in mid-air, placing it on her hips, then raising her chin, adopting the haughty posture of a queen pointing out the world, and said:

"You two can fight however you want in private, but keep quiet in public, understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Ran smiled, lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed.

Gao Taiming belatedly realized what was happening and, a beat too late, gave a gentlemanly bow, saying, "Yes, Your Highness."

"Tch!" Yan Xi tossed her head and snapped, "What princess? Call me the Queen of the Women's Kingdom!"

Before Mo Ran and Gao Taiming could react, Yan Xi herself vomited. Damn, how disgusting.

Mo Ran pursed her lips, forcibly controlling her expression to prevent herself from losing control, and suppressed a laugh as she said, "Alright, then Your Majesty the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, shall we turn back?"

"Alright, we'll do as Mo Qing says, let's return to the palace."

As she spoke, Yan Xi raised her right hand dramatically, sticking out her little finger as if to reach upwards.

"puff!"

Gao Taiming had been holding back his laughter while watching the show, but now he couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

Yan Xi made a delicate gesture with her right hand and glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"No..." Gao Taiming covered his mouth and shook his head, suppressing his laughter so hard that he completely lost control of his facial expressions.

If you had a phone to capture it, every frame would be a perfect meme.

"Xiao Mingzi, hurry up and come to accompany His Majesty back to the palace!"

Mo Ran's voice came from behind her. She lowered her head, her shoulders shaking as she tried to suppress her laughter, forcing herself not to look at Yan Xi's cringeworthy actions.

She was afraid that once she started laughing, she wouldn't be able to stop.

“That’s right, Xiaomingzi, why aren’t you coming over here?” Yan Xi chimed in naturally, then released her delicate fingers and stretched out both hands in a pretentious manner, her voice still soft and affected:

"Go back to the palace!"

￥ (This dividing line is just out for a stroll U′?`U)

When Yan Xi and the other two walked back to the banquet venue as if nothing had happened, the lively place suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Everyone turned to look at them, then quickly turned back, and began to talk loudly and seriously, as if thousands of ducks were having a great chatter, as if the silence just moments before had been an illusion.

Guest A: Hey, the weather is so nice today, I can even see the sun.

Guest B: Yes, five thousand tables are dancing at the airport.

Guest C: Really? You mean the ram was drumming on the glass?

Guest D: No, no, no...

Yan Xi and the other two covered their ears at the same time and looked at each other.

Mo Ran, whose hearing was sealed by his immortal power, was completely bewildered as he deciphered the lip-reading: ...(?_?) What fox? Weightlifting? What the heck? What are they saying?

Gao Taiming, covering his ears: ((???|||)) Holy crap, I'm deaf!

Yan Xi, who had been trying to eavesdrop on the gossip but was completely bewildered after hearing it: ...What the heck? (′?w?)? A mosquito and a rabbit got married and had a dog?! !! Does reproductive isolation mean they can cross species now?

Lu Ze: Σ(°△°|||)︴Are all my business partners this stupid...?

Idiot: Hahahaha o(*≧▽≦)ツ~┴┴

After about a minute, Yan Xi finally couldn't stand it any longer. She called to Lu Ze, grabbed Mo Ran, and left the banquet hall. Gao Taiming also strode out after them. The moment Gao Taiming's figure disappeared from the exit, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone stared at the exit and breathed a sigh of relief.

Another minute passed, and people turned back, all smiles. Their intelligence finally returned from that mind-blowing void, and the conversation returned to normal.

(They're all talking nonsense, haha)

Headquarters of the Time and Space Administration.

In the dark and cramped room, a person wrapped tightly in a black cloak, looking like a dumpling, sat on the sofa, toying with a glass of wine half-filled in his withered hands.

Opposite him stood another large, black rice dumpling, separated by a coffee table. Though his face was not visible, his movements and attitude were exceptionally respectful.

"How was it? Did it succeed?" The person sitting down asked in a low, strange voice.

However, in a place where voice-changing devices are as common as the sea, it's not surprising how strange his voice sounds.

"Sir, we have detected that the concealment item has been used, but we have not received any feedback yet."

The large, black rice dumpling standing there bowed slightly, its voice cold and deliberate, like that of an emotionless intelligent robot.

"..."

The man sat silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Have you found out which department the mission takers from that world belong to?"

"Reporting to you, sir, the security department has blocked the news. They only found that the person happened to be there when the main quest started, and he was trapped in the emergency mission world along with the system."

"So... it's weak?" The adult paused in his swirling of the glass, then looked up at the black rice dumpling.

His face was hidden in the dim light, with only a faint metallic sheen visible.

"Yes, sir," the big black rice dumpling said, bending even more over.

"Weak? Then how were those two systems discovered in the first place, Rejep?"

The adult's gaze was fixed on the head of the big black zongzi (crossed out) Rejep, and his voice rose slightly, tinged with mockery.

"Reporting to you, sir, according to the location data, the landing points of those two systems almost coincide with that of the mission participant." Rejep said, his head bowed, his face covered by a cloth, his voice still calm.

"..." The adult remained silent for a while, then finally looked away, staring at the wine glass in his hand again. "Who's in charge of the landing site?"

"Second Group Leader."

"Group Two..." the adult muttered a few words, then brought the glass to his lips.

"Rejep, you go and take over as the leader of Group Two."

Rejep straightened his back slightly, his voice still calm: "Yes, sir."

"Alright, let me know when you get any news from over there, and find out the origins of that mission taker as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Go down."

Rejep bowed respectfully to the adult, turned and disappeared, but no one saw the mocking expression on his face beneath the cloth.

I'm typing this in the middle of the night, and my eyes are practically closed. It might get messy later on, so I'll take a look and revise it when I have time tomorrow.

Goodnight, my buddies! Sweet dreams!
