Chapter 178 An Unexpected Disaster

Unfortunately, Jiang Liyue did see Jiang Lingxue and the other two.

And noticing their disheveled appearance, she raised an eyebrow and thought, "So the so-called protagonist's halo doesn't seem to be that powerful after all."

If I become the protagonist, I'll have a tendency to cause accidents, and end up like them...

Jiang Liyue actually felt that she was quite comfortable being a cannon fodder female supporting character.

[My wife Yueyue finally appeared in the picture, waaaaah, I missed you so much!]

[I'm absolutely smitten with my wife!]

So, where's Xie Gou? Why did he leave his wife behind?

When Jiang Liyue appeared, Jiang Lingxue instinctively pulled Huo Heng, wanting to leave.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhou called out first: "Jiang Liyue, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Lingxue had no choice but to stop and glance at Huo Heng cautiously.

Jiang Lingxue's heart sank when she noticed the hint of interest and determination in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Liyue.

Jiang Liyue strolled up to the three of them and stared intently at Jiang Zhou: "This is interesting. I was transferred to Area A on my first day. Didn't you say I was definitely going to die here? Why are you asking me why I'm here now?"

Yi Yi noticed Jiang Liyue's mood and knew that she definitely didn't like them. Taking advantage of their inattention, she grabbed Jiang Zhou's foot and bit him hard.

Jiang Zhou cried out in pain and then kicked her away.

Yi Yi felt like she was flying. If she had crashed to the ground, she would probably have been smashed into small pieces. Luckily, Jiang Liyue caught her in time.

"Waaaaah, bad guy! Master, the bad guy hit me!"

Jiang Liyue glanced coldly at Jiang Zhou.

Although she didn't particularly like Yi Yi, that didn't mean others could hurt her things at will.

Jiang Zhou sensed the danger and clutched his bitten foot, somewhat agitated: "Are you kidding me? She bit me first! Jiang Liyue, are you even being reasonable now?!"

"Little sister, now is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves. Look at all these strange things here; the prison guards could come at any moment," Jiang Lingxue advised her in a seemingly friendly manner. "Let's cooperate first, and we can talk about anything else after we leave the instance, okay?"

As she spoke, she deliberately tugged at Huo Heng's sleeve, trying to divert his attention from Jiang Liyue: "Brother Huo, can we bring our sister along?"

Huo Heng smiled with interest, his voice low and indulgent as he said, "Of course."

He reached out and patted Jiang Lingxue's head: "You know, I always listen to you."

As he said this, his eyes looked at Jiang Liyue with an aggressive gaze.

Jiang Lingxue seemed oblivious, tilting her head shyly and saying apologetically, "Brother Huo..."

Jiang Liyue, an elderly man on the subway looking at his phone: No, what is this performance?

She's always the one showing affection in front of others; this is the first time I've seen someone flaunt their love right in front of her.

Were they that... well... strange back then?

and……

"I don't think I said I wanted to come with you guys, did I?" Jiang Liyue tilted her head in confusion.

My wife's confused look is so cute, hahaha!

[Yueyue: Am I part of your play team?]

[Wait, what kind of look is Huo Heng giving Yueyue?! Back off! Xie Gou, come quick, someone's trying to seduce your wife!]

[I don't know why, even though they're all showing off their love, Yueyue's wife looks so good with every boss, but Huo Heng and Jiang Lingxue just look so awkward.]

[Perhaps it's due to differences in appearance...]

I know that these two are just putting on a show, but it's really just a fake relationship. On the other hand, Yueyue and Boss are genuinely in love.

As everyone knows, shipping couples is a mysterious art, and Yueyue is just incredibly compatible with it.

The barrage of comments became exceptionally lively because of Jiang Liyue's appearance.

Jiang Zhou sneered at Jiang Liyue's refusal: "You don't want to come with us? Do you want to see all these strange things? Do you really want to die here?"

Jiang Liyue glanced at their disheveled state, then at her own neat and beautiful appearance, and winked with a smile: "You should be the ones worrying, shouldn't you?"

"You think you..."

Jiang Zhou was about to say something when Huo Heng interrupted him, stepping forward and saying calmly, "Miss Jiang, I think there's probably some misunderstanding between you. We're all family, there's no need to target each other like this."

"Who are you?" Jiang Liyue rolled her eyes and hugged Yi Yi, who was still moving around and trying to rush up and bite someone.

Huo Heng seemed unconcerned by her cold tone, and even chuckled at her adorable expression: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Huo Heng."

"For my sake, can we call a truce for now? We can do whatever we want with you after we leave the instance, how about that?"

Hearing Huo Heng's tone, Jiang Lingxue became increasingly flustered and tried to reach out to grab him, but Huo Heng gave her a reassuring look, so she had no choice but to give up.

However, a hint of gloom flashed across his usually aloof expression.

Seeing the interaction between the male and female leads, Jiang Liyue was a little puzzled as to where Huo Heng's confidence came from.

What face does he have?

If Jiang Lingxue is selfish, then the self-righteous Huo Heng is disgusting in Jiang Liyue's eyes.

However, he didn't seem to sense Jiang Liyue's disdain.

As the male protagonist, Huo Heng certainly has such confidence. Coming from a prominent family, he is invincible in the dungeon after the arrival of the supernatural.

Whether before or after the apocalypse, he is a winner in life, surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women. Even the aloof Jiang Lingxue becomes gentle and shy in front of him.

These factors led to Huo Heng's extreme self-confidence, even arrogance.

He reached out, his peach blossom eyes, which seemed to look at everyone with deep affection, even seemed to carry a hint of doting: "Trust me, I will take you away."

Before Jiang Liyue could reply, a dark, menacing voice, seemingly suppressing anger, echoed from the darkness.

"leave?"

Jiang Liyue felt as if a large hand had gripped her waist from behind, and a cold breath sounded in her ear: "Where is Yueyue going if she leaves me?"

Because Jiang Lingxue and the other two were facing Jiang Liyue, they could clearly see the handsome man who appeared out of nowhere pressing Jiang Liyue into his arms from behind.

The man wore a uniform completely different from the other prison guards; the brim of his hat pressed down on his black hair, obscuring his expression.

Only the lower half of his pale face was visible, making him appear like a sinister male ghost hiding in the darkness in the dimly lit corridor.

Because they were so close, his stiff uniform and Jiang Liyue's soft skirt intertwined, creating an eerie yet strangely harmonious scene.

"Yueyue, you're really naughty." Xie Shiyuan's voice continued, sounding somewhat distorted in the empty corridor.

"So you've always been thinking about escaping from me."

Jiang Liyue felt a chill spread from her back to her scalp.

Xie Shiyuan gripped her waist tightly, as if he wanted to forcefully embed her into his arms.

“Ah Yuan, I think I can explain.” Jiang Liyue blinked innocently.

This time, she truly suffered an undeserved misfortune!

If she had known Xie Shiyuan would appear, she wouldn't have let Huo Heng spout nonsense out of curiosity.

To be honest, I regret it now.
