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 383 Pei Ji's Side Story: If Yueyue Didn't Leave the Dungeon
(Continuing from the main story's timeline, note that this timeline belongs to Yueyue's first arc, at which point her love for Pei Ji isn't as deep as it is in the ending of the main story.)
The Happiness No. 1 Middle School (copy).
On the eighth day of the dungeon, the quest "Survive in the dungeon for seven days" has been completed.
With the previously completed task of finding Ren Yuanxing, Jiang Liyue has now completed both of her tasks in the dungeon.
Logically, once the player completes both tasks, they should be forced to exit the instance.
Jiang Liyue idly swung the gold chain around her ankle; she still hadn't heard any prompts to exit the instance.
She should have been done drawing last night while nestled in Pei Ji's arms.
She even waited until today, the eighth day of the dungeon run, but the system still didn't react at all.
No way? Could it be that Pei Ji intercepted us again, just like before?
Can she exit the game? Or will she have to live in Happiness No. 1 High School for the rest of her life?
Jiang Liyue wasn't particularly resistant. After all, she had just transmigrated into the book and didn't have much attachment to the real world. It seemed to make little difference whether she was in the real world or the dungeon world.
In the dungeon world, there's also a handsome boyfriend like Pei Ji who's always hanging around her.
Not only did Pei Ji have a feast for the eyes, but he was also exceptionally capable.
In a way, she didn't lose out.
It would be even better if Pei Ji could exercise a little more restraint.
I wonder if humans would develop any health problems if they lived in dungeons all the time.
Just as Jiang Liyue was sitting on the bed lost in thought, the door was pushed open, and the black-haired boy entered, looking at her with a deep gaze.
"Aji, you're back." Jiang Liyue instantly forgot all her thoughts and gave him a sweet smile.
It was as if she had never considered secretly leaving the instance.
Pei Ji saw that she was still sitting in the room, looking pretty and lively, and his dark eyes finally softened a little.
He walked slowly to the bedside, bent down and stroked her black hair: "Yueyue is very good."
Yueyue, who didn't want to run away or leave him forever, is such a good girl...
Jiang Liyue rubbed her head against his palm.
After spending the last few days together, she had figured out how to keep him from going crazy, so she could be considered a dog training master.
She kicked his shin with her fair foot, the gold chain making a pleasant jingling sound: "Forget about being good or not, I'm hungry."
Seeing her arrogant and domineering attitude, Pei Ji was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled good-naturedly and said, "Take Yueyue to eat right away."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, lowered his eyes, and focused intently on untying the gold chain from her ankle.
From this angle, she looks like a spoiled young lady who deserves to be taken care of and served, while Pei Ji, who is actually imprisoning her, looks more like a loyal servant to his mistress.
Jiang Liyue was amused by her own association, and lifted her foot, which was not tied with a gold chain, to step on his shoulder.
As a result of this movement, her skirt slipped down, revealing her fleshy, fair thighs.
Pei Ji's movements were almost instantaneous.
He looked up from this angle, his dark eyes staring at her like a hungry beast, his voice hoarse and low: "Yueyue, don't cause trouble."
"What, can't I step on it?" Jiang Liyue loved seeing him like this, and even wiggled her toes triumphantly.
Then, in the next moment, Pei Ji grabbed her ankle and turned his head to bite it without hesitation.
It doesn't hurt, but it has a subtle itching sensation.
Jiang Liyue's waist lost its strength in an instant, and she almost collapsed onto the bed.
"What are you doing!" she exclaimed angrily.
Pei Ji did not let go, but instead punished her by wiping her thin skin, his eyes never leaving her face.
This feeling was strange; Jiang Liyue felt like she was prey chosen by a large predator.
The next moment he would pierce his own flesh, crush his own bones, and then swallow her whole.
As Jiang Liyue considered whether to back down first, Pei Ji released her and then smiled, saying, "Does Yueyue still want to play?"
Jiang Liyue: "No, thank you."
Men who have tasted meat are not to be trifled with!
She obediently pulled her foot back.
She just finished having fun last night, and her back is still a little sore. It felt great, but she can take a break.
The most important thing now is to eat.
Pei Ji then lowered his head and continued to untie the gold chain from her ankle.
With his black hair hanging down his forehead, he looked like a well-behaved young man.
Who would have thought that just by casually flirting with a handsome guy, she would be dragged back to the den of hungry wolves?
Jiang Liyue continued to wait inside the instance, one day, two days, three days... more than ten days passed, and she still hadn't exited the instance.
However, under Pei Ji's care, it became a proper parasite.
All he does is eat and sleep.
Yes, "sleep" is two different verbs.
Pei Ji seemed to know she wouldn't leave, and his dangerous gaze seemed to relax a little each time he looked at her.
Sometimes he would even take the initiative to untie the gold chain from her ankle and take her for a walk around the school (when no one was around).
It was only then that she realized that Pei Jiguan's room was actually on the top floor of the boys' dormitory.
The entire floor was his territory, and there was even an elevator that went directly downstairs and was only allowed to be used by him.
So, is your student council president really that happy?
Jiang Liyue was puzzled, and then she was greatly shocked.
Jiang Liyue felt that she would probably have to live in this instance, and she didn't even think about leaving; she just wanted to enjoy it to the fullest.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
She was a little unhappy about being kept in her room all the time and only being able to come out for fresh air occasionally.
So, after being locked up for more than ten days, Jiang Liyue formally asked Pei Ji if she could go back to class: "I'll go to class with you."
"Besides, I get really bored when you're in class all day and I'm left in the room. If I could go to class, we could spend the day together."
A very good reason, which successfully persuaded Pei Ji, who was initially reluctant to let her go.
He looked at Jiang Liyue calmly and said, "Okay."
But Jiang Liyue noticed that there was a clear smile on his lips.
Hmph, stop pretending, you scumbag.
For some reason, Jiang Liyue's eyes unconsciously curved into a smile.
When Jiang Liyue stepped into the classroom again after more than ten days, no one in the class seemed to find it strange.
Hehe, the person standing next to Jiang is their cold-blooded and ruthless president. Even if you look at him for too long, he will be glared at. Who would dare to be curious?
The instance is not yet open, and there are no players inside at the moment.
Therefore, none of the NPCs maintained their human appearance, but instead retained their bizarre forms.
There's no plot; they go to and from get out of class like normal students—if you ignore what they look like.
Jiang Liyue blended in very well; no matter what the eerie creature looked like, it didn't seem to bother her.
Sometimes Jiang Liyue would run into Ren Yuanxing at school, and he would always take the opportunity to stick to her with bright eyes.
She would take advantage of any opportunity when Pei Ji was away.
This made Pei Ji want to strangle the other person to death.
Although Jiang Liyue now lives in Pei Ji's territory, she still occasionally goes to the dormitory manager to exchange beauty tips.
As a result, the dormitory supervisor dresses up in flamboyant clothes every day. Sometimes, players are so frightened by the supervisor's red dress and distorted appearance that they dare not enter the dormitory.
The instance is not permanently closed; of course, a group of players will come in from time to time.
Each player's task is different and it's not necessarily Ren Yuanxing; you'll only find out the specific task when the dungeon opens.
Jiang Liyue sometimes pretends to be a player and helps them solve quests.
Even if she finishes, she can't exit the instance; it's purely a mini-game.
Jiang Liyue wouldn't interfere with Pei Ji's duties as the dungeon boss, but because of her presence, Pei Ji was too lazy to pay attention to the annoying players, which indirectly increased the dungeon's survival rate.
Because the content of each instance is different and the players who enter are also different, Jiang Liyue's life is not boring.
Once, the male and female protagonists from the original book actually entered the instance. Because they were so stupid, they ran up to her and acted arrogantly. Jiang Liyue directly ordered Pei Ji to kill them.
Hmm, the male and female leads are nothing special.
Later, Jiang Liyue stayed at Xingfu No. 1 High School for an unknown period of time, and she learned most of the content of the game.
She was used to Ren Yuanxing asking her to play, used to the dorm supervisor's vanity, and used to Tao Tao screaming "I'm totally smitten!" every time she and Pei Ji followed behind them.
She had also grown accustomed to Pei Ji's presence, his cooking, his embrace, and his occasional outbursts of possessiveness.
The boy was obsessive and crazy, yet he loved her deeply.
Therefore, she also likes Pei Ji.
Shh, of course you can't tell him this, or her back will suffer again.
Having spent too much time at Happiness No. 1 High School, Pei Ji noticed that Jiang Liyue was bored, so he took the initiative to take her on a trip to other instances.
Jiang Liyue was unaware that such a thing existed.
"Can you really enter and exit dungeons at will?"
Pei Ji smiled as he held her hand: "Others can't, but I can."
Who told him to be so amazing?
Jiang Liyue saw through his arrogance and took the initiative to shake his hand and praise him: "Aji, how are you so amazing?"
Pei Ji's ear tips turned red instantly.
The two of them went to different instances and passed through many instances.
Perhaps because it appears so often, it occasionally flashes in the live stream camera and is sometimes remembered by some players.
The live stream audience is going crazy!
This is simply the best after-sales service! The CP they ship is really amazing!
Among the viewers, a trend even emerged of searching for Easter eggs featuring the two of them in the live stream.
As for the game forums where the players are located, legends have already spread about the pair of dungeon NPCs who appear everywhere.
#On that bizarre couple who have passed through the world#
Pei Ji didn't have to wait a long time to meet Jiang Liyue; they had been together and in love ever since they met.
