Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 224 Want some candied hawthorn?
On her way out, Jiang Liyue did not encounter Scarface and Fatty in the underwater corridor and aquarium area.
She had already sensed their malice and was thinking of dealing with them after she got out.
But we didn't see a single person.
Did something happen to the skinny guy in their team, or did he leave beforehand?
Or perhaps, they're actually lying in wait somewhere, preparing a trap for her?
"What is Yueyue looking for?" Yan noticed that her eyes kept glancing around, and he hated that her gaze was fixed on other things.
He wanted Yueyue to always look at him, and only at him.
Jiang Liyue didn't see anyone, so she looked away and replied, "They were the people who came into the aquarium with me just now. I think they followed me on purpose and had bad intentions."
She described the two people's features and her behavior when she met them.
"They're after me. I wonder if they're hiding somewhere, plotting to harm me."
Jiang Liyue herself has high combat strength, but she will not underestimate any player who appears in the dungeon.
Who knows what strange items other players might have? Especially in situations like this, where there's obvious malice and deliberate targeting, you could easily fall victim to their schemes.
In this respect, the players are even more dangerous than the eerie creatures.
This is also why Jiang Liyue prefers to deal with the supernatural rather than players.
"But it seems like neither of them is here," Jiang Liyue muttered.
Yan paused for a moment, then said, "That..."
Jiang Liyue sensed something from his silence: "Yan, did you see them?"
“Well, before you found me, I noticed someone was following you.” Yan paused. “I didn’t like the way they looked at you, so I killed them.”
Jiang Liyue didn't expect him to act so quickly: "Killed him?"
"Mmm," Yan replied obediently.
What He didn't say was that the two men repeatedly experienced their deepest fears before they died, then drowned again and again, and were eaten alive by the sea creatures.
Yueyue is a delicate and lovely little girl, so there's no need for her to know about these bloody things.
"What's the point of keeping them around?" Yan asked innocently.
Jiang Liyue shook her head: "Not really, but it's fine as long as it's resolved, so I don't have to worry about someone causing trouble all the time."
As they talked, they walked through the long, dreamy underwater corridor and then through an area lined with aquariums on both sides.
The blue light of the sea shone on their faces. If you ignored the horrifying fish in the water that were devouring human flesh, they would really look like an ordinary couple on a weekend date in the real world.
The eeriness at the entrance was still half asleep.
Because the number of visitors to the aquarium is really small, she is in charge of both the entrance and the exit.
Strangely, upon hearing footsteps, I turned around and saw that the beautiful and lovely female tourist had indeed come out of the aquarium alive.
She went in alone, but came out holding a man's hand.
He was still the same man exuding that familiar, terrifying aura.
Jiang Liyue greeted her with a smile: "It seems like I've fulfilled all my requests. Can you check in for me now?"
"Of course." The female ghost lowered her head and respectfully swiped her card for Jiang Liyue.
They didn't even dare to ask a single question about the appearance of disgust.
After Jiang Liyue led the person away, Guiyi pounded his chest in frustration. "Oh dear, how could that tourist lady have been so foolish! How could she have actually started talking to that person?"
They were holding hands so tightly, it seems their relationship is actually quite good.
She must have been forced, so pitiful QAQ
Jiang Liyue complained as she left the aquarium, "Why are they all so afraid of you?"
Yan thought for a moment: "Maybe the thief was afraid I would come out, so he deliberately spread rumors about how scary I was amidst the eerie atmosphere."
Principal: ...No need for publicity.
"Is Yueyue afraid of me?" Yan asked, his gaze fixed intently on her.
Whenever she gave an affirmative answer, he would take her back to that little room where it was just the two of them.
Jiang Liyue shook their clasped hands: "We're good friends now, why would I be afraid of you?"
"Or will you hurt me, you disgusting person?"
"Of course not." Yan hurriedly shook her head.
[It won't cause harm, but being tied to the bed like that shouldn't count as harm, right?]
The further you get from the aquarium, the more lively the area becomes.
However, after participating in the parade, the tourists visibly became even more frenzied.
They cheered on the road, and when they saw staff in red uniforms eating people with their mouths wide open, they would go up close to watch.
Then erupted a huge cheer and applause.
It seems like something to celebrate.
Yan commented on this as: "Fools whose brains and eyes have been blinded by crude tricks."
Seeing his cold, god-like demeanor, Jiang Liyue teased him, "What if I became like that?"
Yan imagined that if Jiang Liyue became such a fanatical believer, He could easily make her believe only in Him.
She would cheer and applaud just like these people.
What a beautiful imagination...
Yan said confidently, "Yueyue is definitely a cute and enthusiastic baby."
That's how brazenly they apply double standards.
Jiang Liyue immediately smiled, and the two walked and talked until they arrived at the small square.
The small square was still bustling. Jiang Liyue didn't see anyone at the clown's spot and said with some regret, "Your followers aren't here."
Yan said with a dark expression, "He is not my follower."
He only wanted to have a relationship with Yueyue.
Based on occasional conversations between young couples at the amusement park, I learned that boys should uphold traditional male virtues, otherwise they won't be liked by girls.
Therefore, Yan didn't want to have anything to do with anyone other than Jiang Liyue.
He was still a little aggrieved: "Does Yueyue want to push me onto someone else?"
Jiang Liyue: ...What does this have to do with anything?
As expected, no matter the scenario, identity, or character, that scoundrel will go crazy without warning.
To avoid upsetting him, Jiang Liyue quickly changed the subject and took him to a food stall to buy things.
Everything at the amusement park is free, of course.
However, what is often free is the most expensive; if you want to gain an advantage, you will have to pay a price.
Didn't you see that girl at the candied hawthorn stall offer up her boyfriend's arm just to buy a skewer of candied hawthorn?
However, when the couple turned around with the candied hawthorns in their hands, Jiang Liyue raised an eyebrow.
"Miss, it's you!" The girl still looked as enthusiastic as ever, holding the candied hawthorn she had earned by exchanging her arms. Her boyfriend stood beside her, pale and in pain.
It was the young couple that Jiang Liyue had met before entering the amusement park.
The girl was overjoyed to see her, glanced at Yan next to her, and excitedly exclaimed, "Miss, you've finally found your boyfriend?"
He's so handsome! Looks like I wasn't fooled by my online romance!
She continued, "Would you like some candied hawthorn? It's so convenient having a boyfriend, you can ask him to get you some!"
Jiang Liyue looked at the girl's boyfriend, who had lost an arm.
...No need for that.
She wasn't so greedy that she would trade her tired hands for candied hawthorns.
