Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

0561 knew it was a dereliction of duty, so it grumbled a few times and drooped the little tuft on its body.

Xi Mingzhu knew what the villain meant; it was someone who created obstacles for the protagonist and did bad things.

But the problem is, isn't Shen Yi just a cannon fodder supporting character? Is Lu Tiannan following him just to cause trouble for him?

Does that mean the main character's progress will be accelerated?

This is a roundabout way to achieve our goals, and it's not a bad deal.

After a calm analysis, Xi Mingzhu said, "Can stalling him shorten the deadline?"

0561 pondered the original plot, realizing that it would indeed be much faster if the villains hadn't interfered!

0561 was a little excited: "Okay!!"

After careful consideration, Xi Mingzhu humbly asked, "Then what about killing him?"

0561:"……"

To be honest, host, we can't beat them!

Although the villains don't have the same amazing cheat codes as the protagonists, are they just ordinary people who can be villains in supernatural dungeons?

0561 started tumbling and spinning in mid-air again, looking anxious and powerless.

It's all my fault for not remembering Lu Tiannan's identity! Now I've caused a huge disaster! What if Lu Tiannan kills the host? I'll have to go back and write a self-criticism!

Just thinking about it makes me want to burst into tears! I'm so emotional...

Lu Tiannan, who had just finished showering, was still humming a sweet little song. He had no idea that while he was showering, Shen Yi, who had undergone a heart transplant, had murderous intent towards him.

Xi Mingzhu wasn't stupid. When he wasn't sure of the outcome, he decided to play it safe, especially since he had only managed to live one more day. If it wasn't worth dying, he would have to start all over again with this unlucky system.

Lu Tiannan casually dried his hair with a towel, looking at Xi Mingzhu with hopeful eyes, like a large dog.

This couldn't be clearer.

Xi Mingzhu remained silent, realizing that drying hair was a form of mutual assistance.

I shouldn't have agreed to let Lu Tiannan move in.

I want to back out.

Just as Xi Mingzhu picked up the hair dryer, Lu Tiannan tackled her to the bed around the waist, and Xi Mingzhu instinctively tried to retaliate.

Firstly, 0561 stated that the other party was a villain, not a good person.

Secondly, he dislikes physical contact.

A faint scent of sandalwood filled my nostrils; it was a very pleasant aroma.

The scent wasn't the same as the one he used when he took a shower. Did he go out of his way to get his own toiletries?

Distracted by this thought, Xi Mingzhu didn't push Lu Tiannan away immediately.

Lu Tiannan didn't make any further moves, and released Shen Yi with a grin.

Xi Mingzhu's clothes were still damp and wet from the water droplets that Lu Tiannan had brought with him.

"Brother, do I smell good? This is my favorite scent." Lu Tiannan did this on purpose; he had noticed that Shen Yi didn't like physical contact.

However, if Shen Yi initiates contact, she doesn't resist him. It's only when he touches her first that Shen Yi's disgust and gloom are clearly visible.

If Shen Yi had kept things hidden, perhaps we could have tricked him into revealing something, but alas...

Having missed the optimal time to react, Xi Mingzhu could no longer lash out once he sat up, otherwise he would appear petty.

After plugging in the power, Lu Tiannan sat there obediently waiting for him to dry his hair.

Xi Mingzhu asked in a calm voice, "Is it the scent of agarwood?"

"Yes, but it's not your average sandalwood-scented shower gel. This stuff is very hard to get; it's a dungeon reward."

Lu Tiannan didn't seem worried at all about revealing too much.

"Dungeon rewards?" Xi Mingzhu thought that the rewards were always items, would they give something as useless as toiletries?

"Brother, my hair... if you don't blow-dry it soon, it'll just air dry."

Following the order in which Lu Tiannan dried his hair, Xi Mingzhu first adjusted the temperature before gently blowing on the other person's hair bit by bit.

After finishing drying his hair and placing the hairdryer on the bedside table, Lu Tiannan had already climbed into bed and covered himself with the blanket.

"..." Xi Mingzhu was speechless. They were really self-aware and didn't stand on ceremony at all.

Xi Mingzhu reminded him in a low voice, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Lu Tiannan blinked innocently, "Brother, I'm sleepy and need to rest."

Xi Mingzhu had no interest in forcing anyone, thinking that it would be the same to talk about it tomorrow.

So I prepared to turn off the wall lamp next to the bedside table.

As a result, he turned his back to Lu Tiannan and was ambushed.

Lu Tiannan seemed to really enjoy hugging people; this time, he wrapped his arms around people's waist from behind.

Xi Mingzhu, propelled forward by inertia, extinguished the wall lamp.

This time I really couldn't hold back, and I was on the verge of having an outburst.

Lu Tiannan could clearly feel Shen Yi's body temperature rising; it wasn't an illusion...

0561: "Host, calm down! We really can't win! Think it over!!"

Lu Tiannan let go quickly, retreating to the bedside and covering himself with the blanket.

Clever.

Lu Tiannan recalled the changes in Shen Yi just now, his eyes narrowed slightly in the dark room, his interest growing stronger.

Fire-attribute talents? An offensive talent tree, that's pretty good.

"Brother, tell me what you want to hear, and I'll tell you about the dungeon. I just want you to talk to me more, instead of always being so cold to me. I don't mean anything by it." Lu Tiannan's tone was soft, as if even the hug just now was unintentional, and he seemed as pitiful as a frightened little animal when they first met.

Xi Mingzhu took a deep breath, tried to lie down calmly, and pulled the blanket over herself.

"I want to hear it."

"Brother also knows that we entered the first level today. The rewards for each level are different. There are also many types of dungeons on each level, with easy and difficult difficulties."

Lu Tiannan spoke slowly, even giving a mock yawn.

"The dungeon rewards are the items you get for clearing dungeons. The rewards were already distributed when we came out of the Spider Classroom today. Did you receive your items too, brother?"

Xi Mingzhu gave a faint "hmm".

Lu Tiannan grinned and said, "I got a dagger, which is a pretty good weapon. I can help my brother next time we go into a dungeon."

"Next time we enter the dungeon?" The tone was slightly doubtful.

Lu Tiannan's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

That's really strange. How could Shen Yi not know these things?

"Brother, have you forgotten that the lounge needs to be rented? Even the room I'm currently staying in requires three days to clear one level of a dungeon to cover my food and lodging. The higher the level of the room, the more expensive it is, and the higher the level of the dungeon you clear, the better the quality of your accommodation and the longer you can stay."

Upon hearing this, Xi Mingzhu seemed to understand why Lu Tiannan wanted to live with him.

The reason is that they freeload on food and lodging.

"I will work hard to get into the dungeon and then I will take my brother to live in a big house!" Lu Tiannan said confidently, and soon fell asleep with even breathing.

Xi Mingzhu looked at Lu Tiannan's sleeping face. He looked harmless no matter how you looked at him, and it was hard to believe that he was a bad person. But you can't judge a book by its cover.

However, looking back on today, I realize I was a bit too lenient. Was it really because I didn't want to start over that I tolerated their repeated intimate contact?

Strange people, strange taste.

This is a feeling I've never had before when practicing alchemy.

Seeing Xi Mingzhu staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, 0561 asked with concern, "Host, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Xi Mingzhu roughly calculated the time, "A dungeon every three days, it won't be easy to survive."

0561 pondered quietly for a moment, "Host, actually, given the current accommodation conditions, we can complete one second-floor dungeon every two weeks."

It's a way out, but it's not safe without awakening your talent.
