Chapter 285 Can I Make an Excuse?

Perhaps because their souls were directly shattered in this instance, Herlo and Hermer did not awaken their complete memories as early as in previous instances.

However, they would occasionally remember something and then torment her.

The familiar gold chain, an old friend, also came in handy.

Jiang Liyue: ...Go to hell, you dog of a man.

Okay, she had her fun too. Just don't die yet, and stay away from her.

On the seventh day after learning the original timeline of the dungeon, Jiang Liyue finally received a notification that another dungeon quest had been completed.

[Mission complete, exiting the instance world soon...]

It was at this moment that the colorful scene before my eyes turned black and white, as if time had stood still.

Only the two men in front of her were still alive. Jiang Liyue had seen such a scene before, so she wasn't surprised.

Until her two boyfriends in this instance turned into one in front of her.

Although it's still the same face shared by Hermer and Herlo, their demeanor seems to have changed.

The man's eyes were as black as ink, seemingly calm but with undercurrents surging beneath, as he stared straight at her.

Jiang Liyue tilted her head and called out to him, "Chu Li."

Chu Li seemed to be stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Liyue to suddenly call out his name.

Once he came to his senses, he regained his composure, his eyes crinkling into a smile, displaying the same gentlemanly gentleness he had seen in real life. He praised the child as if coaxing a little boy, saying, "Baby is so smart."

Jiang Liyue's attitude towards him was not as good as her attitude towards her boyfriends in the dungeon.

She squinted her eyes, parted her red lips slightly, and slowly uttered two words: "Liar."

Chu Li looked at her helplessly, her expression like she was begging for mercy, or perhaps murmuring, "Baby, I said I would find you."

“Hmm.” Jiang Liyue nodded and continued, “So you’re a liar.”

He even put on a show of being gentle and refined for her.

Her acting skills were so convincing that even a Best Actress like her could fool her; it was truly a natural talent.

"Actually, it's not exactly lying to you." Chu Li seemed to be thinking about how to explain. "Anyway, don't avoid me. Wait for me to go back, and we'll talk it over properly."

Jiang Liyue snorted; she had originally planned to ask him for clarification.

Seeing her unapproachable demeanor, Chu Li took her hand and brought it to his lips: "Yueyue, I'll wait for you."

Upon hearing the word "wait," Jiang Liyue finally relaxed for a moment.

At that moment, the scene before her eyes gradually disappeared, and when she opened her eyes again, she was back in her room.

Because this instance has a timeline from a hundred years ago, she spent a total of more than two months there.

This took far too long, exceeding all her previous dungeons, so when Jiang Liyue came out of the dungeon and listened to the system announce her gains from this dungeon, she still felt a little dazed.

However, Jiang Liyue is an actress by profession, so she gets into character quickly and gets out of character just as quickly.

While most people might find it difficult to detach themselves from other characters after a long period of immersion, Jiang Liyue has experience in breaking free from the role.

So by the time the system finished announcing the rewards for this instance, Jiang Liyue had already realized what was happening.

Unlike before, she didn't browse the game forums and the in-game store after leaving the instance and buy some interesting items before logging out.

This time, she didn't even look at the rewards carefully before standing up, pushing open the door and leaving.

The last time she entered the dungeon, she had just stepped inside when she heard Yi Yi and Golden Mask say that she smelled like her boyfriend. She suddenly realized that Chu Li must be her boyfriend and prepared to go out and confront him.

Before they could even leave the house, they were already inside the dungeon.

No matter how long the time is in the instance, it's only a moment in reality. Therefore, if Jiang Liyue goes out now, she will most likely still be able to find Chu Li.

However, before Jiang Liyue could even look for it, a message popped up on her phone.

Chu Li: [Yueyue, just wait at home, I'll be right there.]

Upon receiving the message, Jiang Liyue retreated to the sofa and sat down, then slowly replied with an "Oh."

Yi Yi and the Golden Mask circled around Jiang Liyue: "Master, Master, why did you go out and come back again and again?"

The golden mask swayed smugly: "Are you stupid? The mistress is probably missing my master."

Despite being a single mask, it has lived for a long time and knows what it's like for humans to be in love.

I miss you as soon as we parted, I'm conflicted and hesitant, humph, the clever mask has already seen through everything.

Yi Yi didn't believe it and bumped her head against the golden mask: "Nonsense, Master doesn't want a big bad guy!"

No matter how much the two of them argued, Jiang Liyue didn't respond. Since Chu Li was coming over, she could continue browsing the system shop.

As for why she didn't order takeout, it's mainly because she had just had a big meal with Chu Li before entering the dungeon.

However, Jiang Liyue didn't stay out for long. Less than two minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Jiang Liyue ignored it, and after about ten seconds, the doorbell rang again.

"Master, Master, someone is knocking on the door. Should Yi Yi open the door for you?" Yi Yi asked obediently.

Jiang Liyue shook her head.

Then, the door clicked open.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Yi Yi shrank into Jiang Liyue's arms in fright, while the Golden Mask looked at the doorway with surprise: it was his master who had arrived!

The supernatural beings don't recognize people by their appearance, but by their scent.

So even though Chu Li doesn't look like the person Yi Yi and the Golden Mask know, they still know it's him.

The man, who always had a gentle and polite expression, somehow opened the door and stood in the doorway.

At this time, it was already dark outside, but the lights were on inside the house. He stood at the boundary between light and darkness, quietly looking in Jiang Liyue's direction.

Jiang Liyue, with one arm around Yi Yi and her chin resting on the back of her other hand, leaned back in the sofa chair and looked at the newcomer with a half-smile: "Oh, isn't this our gentle and polite neighbor, Mr. Chu? How come you've learned to trespass on private property?"

Her words were full of sarcasm and irony.

Chu Li looked at her with a helpless expression, but his beautifully shaped peach blossom eyes were filled with love that could drown a person.

Even Yi Yi and the Golden Mask could tell that the atmosphere between the two of them seemed a bit off.

Did they have a fight?

Yi Yi almost wanted to clap her hands and cheer. Hmph, this big bad guy is so terrifying, he doesn't deserve her gentle and beautiful master at all! He'd better be kicked out right away!

Although the golden mask was angry that its owner didn't recognize it, it still stood by its owner's side.

After all, if the mistress doesn't want her, then the mask is a mask without a mistress.

The master can be abandoned, but the mistress cannot be abandoned!

Therefore, without thinking, the golden mask picked up Yi Yi, who was still trying to snuggle in Jiang Liyue's arms, and flew into the room.

Even with her claws outstretched, Yi Yi couldn't shake them off.

However, once inside the room, he was punched and kicked by Xiao Yiyi. Although Golden Mask could beat her, he did not fight back.

The golden mask sighed: "The mask has sacrificed far too much for its master's happiness."

The mask is good, but the person is bad.

The little commotion caused by the golden mask and Yi Yi clearly did not affect the atmosphere between Jiang Liyue and Chu Li.

Jiang Liyue still looked at him with a smile, as if to say, "I'm just waiting to see what you have to say."

Chu Li seemed to sigh before slowly walking into the room. As he entered, the door behind him clicked shut.

He approached her, finally stopping in front of the sofa, leaning down to meet her gaze: "Yueyue, do I still have a chance to argue?"

Jiang Liyue glared at him when she heard him deliberately use the word "sophistry".

They let him in directly, what did he say?

Chu Li asked that question on purpose, and only lowered her head when she saw that Chu Li seemed to be in a good mood.

He first kissed her beautiful lips.

He desperately wanted to kiss her. He had only been able to look but not kiss her before, which was incredibly torturous for him. Jiang Liyue had no idea how much that had been.

Yueyue, Yueyue, I miss you so much...
