Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Bang!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you when I get out. I'll use the best cleaning products and make sure it's spotless and perfectly clean."

He patted his chest and said.

"Bang!"

The elevator shook, then suddenly began to rise.

This time, its upward speed was incredibly fast; Liu Zheng only blinked once before the elevator suddenly stopped.

The elevator doors opened automatically, and a tremendous force struck from behind.

Before he could react, he was thrown out of the elevator like trash.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

Liu Zheng got up from the ground and couldn't help but complain.

"What? Aren't you in a hurry?"

Si Xue's voice drifted over from afar.

Liu Zheng looked up and saw that heavy snow was falling on a vast expanse of water.

Meanwhile, Si Xue, dressed in a wide-sleeved robe and wearing a turban, was brewing tea around a stove in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"I'm in a hurry, extremely anxious. The thought of being able to meet Your Majesty and hear Your holy teachings makes me incredibly impatient and restless."

He quickly put on a fawning expression.

"Really? I don't see you getting so agitated."

Si Xue said with a half-smile.

Then, she picked a spark from the fire and flicked it at Liu Zheng with her finger.

A spark, smaller than a grain of rice, pierced through the swirling snow like an arrow and shot towards him.

Liu Zheng dared not dodge, nor could he dodge, and let the sparks pierce his chest.

"Shh!"

His heart instantly turned into a fireball, burning fiercely in the cold wind.

"Yes, now it truly lives up to its name."

Si Xue nodded in satisfaction.

"Whatever makes you happy, boss. If it's not enough, I'll grow a few more hearts so you can burn them slowly."

Despite enduring the searing pain of the flames, Liu Zheng spoke with a twisted smile.

"You have a silver tongue. No wonder Britain has told me several times that they want to transfer you to the customer service department."

Si Xue said.

"Uh, then there's no need. I'm doing quite well in the delivery department, and I don't want to change my job position for the time being."

He said quickly.

Didn't you introduce that rich woman to Britain? Why are you still eyeing him?

"Gan!"

He cursed inwardly.

"Ah."

Si Xue chuckled but didn't dwell on the matter.

"Come here."

She said.

"This, I cannot do."

Liu Zheng looked at the vast lake with a troubled expression.

If it's not frozen, how can he roll?

"Useless things."

Si Xue reached out and beckoned, and a flurry of snowflakes fell upon him.

She clenched her fist again, and Liu Zheng was wrapped up like a big snowball.

"hurry up."

she urged.

"I'm coming."

Liu Zheng quickly extended four tentacles, spun himself around like a top, and fell into the lake.

"hiss!"

Upon touching the water, he immediately gasped.

The water in this lake is colder than ice and snow, at least around minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius.

The fact that it didn't freeze at such a cold temperature completely violates the laws of physics.

However, considering that it is very likely not water, but a substance that looks like water, it is not surprising.

Liu Zheng vigorously swung his tentacles, rolling himself all the way to a small island in the middle of the lake.

Upon entering the pavilion, he was so cold that his entire body turned blue, and long icicles grew out of his nostrils.

"Boss, you...you wanted to see me?"

Liu Zheng said, trembling.

"Pfft~"

Si Xue couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression.

Liu Zheng was puzzled, but he forced a stiff smile in response.

"You really do look like a walrus."

Si Xue pointed to the icicles growing out of his nostrils.

"But, but, walruses' tusks don't grow out of their mouths, do they?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"I say it's like it, so what's your problem?"

Si Xue's expression turned cold.

"No. Boss, whatever you say I am, that's what I am."

He suddenly realized what was happening and could speak fluently again.

"Hmph, I think you've frozen your brain to death."

Si Xue picked up her teacup and splashed it at Liu Zheng.

The boiling tea splashed onto him, instantly melting the entire snowball.

"Hot, hot, hot!"

He kept shaking his body, trying to shake off the remaining snow water.

He was just a moment ago bruised all over from the cold, but now he's as red as a boiled crayfish.

"Of all the people I've summoned, you're always the most pathetic one,"

Si Xue mocked.

"So, are you happy, boss?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Happy? No. Maybe a little bit fun."

Si Xue thought for a moment and then said.

"That's fine too. There's not much I can do for someone as important as you, boss. But if I can bring you some joy, then I'll consider it a way of repaying your kindness to me."

He smiled and said.

"I don't think I've done you any favors; it's just a matter of mutual benefit."

Si Xue shook her head.

"It's okay, I think it's fine if it's there."

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

“Arrogant human. However, you do have some reason to be arrogant. Sit down.”

Si Xue raised her chin towards the stove.

"This, I'll just sit here."

He hesitated.

"Just sit down. What? Are you about to lose your temper again?"

Si Xue frowned.

“Then I will presume to do so.”

Liu Zheng was only pretending, but after Si Xue said that, he felt at ease and sat down.

However, he didn't sit on it properly; he only sat on most of his buttocks.

"I heard you went to the bathhouse area?"

Si Xue asked.

"Yes. A friend's relative was imprisoned, so he asked me to rescue him."

Liu Zheng said frankly.

"You've really made something of yourself."

Si Xue's tone was somewhat wistful.

"When I first met you, you were a weak and frail human being, not even qualified to be used as an ingredient in the kitchen."

"And in just a few days, you've managed to get away with so much trouble, even managing to smooth things over after offending the peacock."

“If it were just in the city, that would be one thing, but now people are even asking you to go outside the city to settle things.”

"Humans are indeed a terrifying race."

She said meaningfully.

"It's all thanks to the boss's effective leadership and the mutual help among the restaurant staff."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

"You only need to speak for yourself, don't expect me and the restaurant to take the blame for you."

Si Xue said expressionlessly.

"hey-hey."

He scratched his head sheepishly, tearing off a piece of blanched skin.

Chapter 420 Si Xue: No, that's too easy on you.

"If you dare to throw me on the ground, I'll throw you into the lake to feed the fish."

Si Xue threatened.

"a ha ha ha."

Liu Zheng gave an awkward laugh, then threw the flesh into the mouthpiece and swallowed it.

By the way, would you say this is mutton with skin on?

"What? Are you waiting for me to pour you tea?"
