Chapter 205 Don't worry, I've always been here.

...Could she refuse to accept it?

I thought that since this dungeon was almost over, I wouldn't see the gold chain.

I never expected to see an old friend under these circumstances.

Jiang Liyue was speechless.

But perhaps sensing her momentary silence, Ling Wu assumed she wanted to reject him, and his expression gradually darkened, while his eyes looked at her pitifully.

Is Yueyue going to reject him?

Why, why, why?

Didn't she already promise to be with me? Didn't she clearly say she liked me? Didn't she even kiss me first?

Why did you reject me at the last minute?

How can someone be so fickle...

Is it only by locking her up that she will love me forever?

After only a brief moment of hesitation, Jiang Liyue noticed that Ling Wu's eyes were gloomy and his aura was terrifying. Even the director and other members of the production team standing in the distance began to tremble involuntarily.

It's unclear what Ling Wu was imagining in that short period of time.

Under Ling Wu's increasingly out-of-control gaze, she finally couldn't help but sigh and reached out to touch the golden chain in the box.

"It's a beautiful gift." She smiled, her eyes crinkling into a bright smile, looking radiant. "I love it."

As she spoke, she moved her hand up to Ling Wu's eyes, which had become red at some point, and teased her in a lighthearted tone, "Why are you about to cry?"

Ling Wu, under her tender gaze, pulled her into his arms and buried his head tightly in her neck: "I thought you didn't want my gift..."

Jiang Liyue: I really don't want it. Can't you give me a proper gift instead? :)

Ling Wu's voice was muffled, with a hint of grievance: "You scared me to death. I thought you didn't want me anymore. Luckily you accepted me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

He might not be able to resist locking Yueyue up, leaving her only to sleep in his own space.

All I could do was look at him, stare at him...

It doesn't matter if she gets angry.

Who told him to love her? Yueyue also said she liked him, didn't she?

Maybe it was those horrible bugs outside that seduced Yueyue.

Fortunately, Yueyue still loved him. Ling Wu held her, so happy that he almost cried.

The director and other crew members watching from the sidelines, recalling Ling Wu's seemingly destructive aura and their still trembling legs, were on the verge of tears.

Waaaaah, it's finally over! These two little devils are finally leaving their show soon TT

Even if it's eerie, you can't scare people like that!

The staff urged the director to hurry up and look at him. The director quickly raised his megaphone and announced, "Congratulations to Ling Wu and Jiang Liyue for successfully holding hands and becoming the first couple to successfully hold hands while in a relationship."

"Blood may dry up, hearts may stop beating, but love never ends. This is the motto of our ongoing relationship. This variety show has come to a successful end. Please look forward to the next episode!"

Amid the director's monotonous speech, Jiang Liyue patted Ling Wu's fluffy head on her neck and said to him with amusement, "Who said I wouldn't accept your gift? I just didn't expect you to give me this."

Can't she even be surprised to see her old friend?

Unexpectedly, the little dog that had been snuggling against her neck suddenly raised its eyes slightly, its deep, burning gaze looking at her with a half-smile: "Because I want to tie Yueyue up."

"Didn't Yueyue like it a lot before?"

As these words were spoken, the surrounding scene seemed to freeze, gradually fading into black and white, and the falling fireworks around them were also frozen in place.

In the entire space, only Jiang Liyue and Ling Wu remained as the sole source of color.

Ling Wu's expression turned dark and obsessive. Although it was still Ling Wu's face, his temperament had undergone a complete transformation.

Almost instantly, Jiang Liyue knew that her boyfriend had awakened!

At the same time, a system notification sounded: "[Quest complete, exiting the instance shortly]"

"Is Yueyue leaving again? How many more times will she abandon me?" Ling Wu looked at her dangerously, as if he was about to devour her at any moment.

Jiang Liyue's mind kept repeating "danger, danger, danger."

With a pitiful and innocent expression, she explained, "Honey, I didn't want to leave you either. You know, I had no choice but to leave."

"Really?" Ling Wu's icy hand hissed as he licked her cheek. "I thought Yueyue really wanted to leave me."

"Of course not, after all, I love you the most, my husband." Jiang Liyue took the initiative to reach out and hug him.

She kept spouting sweet words: "My husband is the best person in the world to me. He's very handsome, which is exactly my type, and he even cooks for me."

"You know, I've never had a husband since I was a child, and of course I can't bear to leave you now that I finally have you." She blinked her eyes, her tone so sincere it was almost unbelievable.

If Ling Wu hadn't possessed the memories of each instance and known that she had lied to herself in each instance, she would have truly believed it.

He reached out and gently touched her eyes, while his other hand casually picked up the gold chain beside him: "Does Yueyue like this gift?"

"Of course I like it." Jiang Liyue answered with exceptional sincerity, her watery eyes looking directly at Ling Wu as if she were looking at her closest lover.

But who is her lover?

"Who do you like? Do you like Ling Wu?" Ling Wu's eyes were icy. "Or do you like Pei Ji, Zhou Yulin, Feng Xuan, Shen Zhiyan, Xie Shiyuan..."

Jiang Liyue's face turned green as she listened to the man recite a long list of names as if he were listing dishes.

Aren't these all you?

Even though she knows she's all alone, she's still jealous. Isn't that a bit too much possessiveness?

Jiang Liyue looked at him sincerely and said softly, "Of course I like you, Pei Ji."

She still uttered the original name.

Sure enough, the man's expression flickered slightly.

She became even more certain that the scoundrel seemed to have awakened the memories of each instance, but he should have started with Pei Ji.

Yes, Pei Ji once said he would "find you".

It all started with Pei Ji.

That's why he followed me to every instance; otherwise, it wouldn't explain why he was in every instance.

Jiang Liyue blinked, trying to make herself look even more innocent and pitiful: "Pei Ji, the reason I'm with the other people is because I know they're you. I like you so much, don't you know that?"

The man stared intently at her, his eyes swirling with emotion, and remained silent, lost in thought.

After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "Yueyue, you are really smart."

“Pei Ji, I miss you so much too. I can’t see you in the real world, so I always try my best to come to the dungeon to find you…” Jiang Liyue’s voice was soft, sounding like she was being coquettish.

It was at this moment that the progress of exiting the instance was completed. The man noticed something, lowered his head and bit her collarbone.

Those dark eyes were fixed on her, and it seemed as if they were speaking gently.

"Don't worry, I'm always here."
