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 79 I Want to Lock You Up
Those disgusting, covetous eyes made him want to tear them apart just by looking at them.
Feng Xuan's tone was filled with obsession, and his icy breath was right next to Jiang Liyue's ear.
The large hand firmly gripped her waist, creating a strange feeling of confinement.
Jiang Liyue looked down, but there was nothing in front of her.
Clearly, Feng Xuan used some method to become invisible, so she and the others could not see his presence.
Jiang Liyue raised her hand to soothe him, touching the pair of transparent but restless hands around his waist, signaling him to calm down.
Her movements were very light, and since it was nighttime, Xu Pengfei and the others didn't notice, but the live streamers noticed something strange.
[Am I the only one who noticed that Yueyue seemed to pat her upper waist area?]
[Actually, I noticed it too. And if you look closely, there are wrinkles on Yueyue's clothes around her waist caused by something binding them. Think about the way the boss appeared last night.]
【Taste it, you should savor it】
[I think I know what's going on. Tsk tsk tsk, young couples are just so clingy.]
[Wait, don't you guys think this transparent form could be used for some really outrageous play?]
[Stop imagining things! I won't allow it!!!]
The discussion in the comments section went further and further off track, becoming increasingly explicit and vulgar, and was on the verge of escalating into something restricted.
However, Jiang Liyue inside the instance was unaware that the audience had already seen through Feng Xuan's embrace behind her.
When she realized he wasn't making any other moves, Jiang Liyue comfortably ignored his presence.
He looked up in the direction of Xu Pengfei and the others.
When Xu Pengfei asked her why she was there, Jiang Liyue looked up and retorted, "I live here. Shouldn't I be asking you why you're here?"
"How did you end up living here?" Xu Pengfei asked in disbelief.
According to the information he gathered in the paper doll village today, the ancestral hall is the most important place in the paper doll village.
Even the residents of the paper doll village are not allowed to enter except during the paper festival day.
So why would she, also a player, be living here?
But Jiang Liyue clearly had no intention of answering their questions; she simply stood on the steps, looking down at them.
She repeated, "Why are you here?"
When she smiles, she is delicate and sweet, but when she doesn't smile, she has an unapproachable coldness.
Before the strange occurrences, Xu Pengfei was just an ordinary person.
However, ever since the strange event occurred, he was lucky enough to obtain a decent initial skill, and he has been having a smooth run in the dungeon. His bad nature gradually emerged, and he began to be surrounded by all sorts of beautiful women.
Even so, he was still captivated by Jiang Liyue's beauty.
He even forgot that she had kicked him to the ground during the day, causing him to lose face.
“We came to the ancestral hall based on clues. It’s not safe for you to stay here. Why don’t you come with us…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Pengfei suddenly felt a terrifying force, and the invisible pressure made him break out in a cold sweat instantly.
As if being watched by something extremely terrifying, he felt a chill run down his spine and could barely stand.
“Brother Xu, look quickly…” Qian Liu’s voice trembled as he tugged at Xu Pengfei’s clothes, gesturing for him to look around.
The paper figures that had been huddled together at the edge of the courtyard had somehow stood up, their countless eyes staring straight in their direction.
"Damn it!" Xu Pengfei cursed. Once his mind cleared, he forgot all about lusting after the beautiful woman and turned to run towards the direction where there were no paper figures.
Seeing this, Qian Liu and Li Xueer quickly followed.
Jiang Liyue had no interest in looking in their direction.
When Xu Pengfei spoke to her in a disgusting tone, the large hand around her waist gripped her even tighter.
It seemed as if he wanted to bind her to his very bones.
"Didn't Yueyue say she didn't know them?" Feng Xuan's dangerous voice continued.
Jiang Liyue hadn't expected that the person in the courtyard was the disgusting man she had encountered during the day.
She originally planned to come out and see if the other players could find any clues.
But after realizing it was them, she couldn't be bothered to say anything more to him.
Jiang Liyue looked at Xu Pengfei and his companions, who were being chased and running away with their heads in their hands by the paper figures all over the yard, and tilted her head to ask, "Are these paper figures controlled by you?"
To everyone's surprise, after asking that question, Feng Xuan's tone became even more dangerous: "Is Yueyue blaming me for hurting them?"
Jiang Liyue: ...That dog of a man is still so possessive.
She explained speechlessly, "If I really blamed you, I wouldn't have let you hold me."
"I was just curious about the difference between these paper figures and the people in the village."
As she spoke, Jiang Liyue turned her head and glared in what should have been his head, her eyes dark and unsettling: "Or are you saying you don't believe me?"
Feng Xuan slowly appeared, his eyes half-closed as he met her gaze.
She looked kind of cute when she was angry, and Feng Xuan couldn't resist wanting to kiss her a couple of times.
But Jiang Liyue simply raised her hand and pushed his face away: "Speak quickly."
Feng Xuan had no choice but to temporarily put aside his thoughts and reluctantly explained, "They are just wandering ghosts temporarily residing inside the bodies of these paper figures."
"As for those in the village, they've managed to fool the rules and are basically living corpses."
"So that's how it is." Jiang Liyue seemed to understand something again.
Her gaze fell on the paper figures in the courtyard, and met Li Xue'er's eyes as she fled in panic.
Li Xue'er's eyes widened, and she suddenly shouted, "Help!"
Then he ran towards Jiang Liyue with a bunch of paper figures.
Jiang Liyue narrowed her eyes with a half-smile. The paper figures that were originally running towards her seemed to freeze and stop moving, turning around to chase after Qian Liu and Xu Pengfei.
Li Xueer was panting, her hands resting on her knees.
She secretly observed Jiang Liyue's expression with her eyes.
When she came over, Feng Xuan deliberately concealed himself and was not seen.
Li Xue'er smiled obsequiously: "Thank you, sister. I was terrified. There were so many paper figures here. Luckily, you are safe here."
Jiang Liyue sensed a hint of familiarity in her tone.
[Hilarious! This is exactly how Yueyue talks to her good sisters!]
[Yes, yes, that tea-like, adorable appearance is exactly the same, hahaha]
[What kind of eyes do you have? She's much worse than Yueyue, okay? First of all, her eyes are always wandering around, which is really unsettling. She doesn't have Yueyue's sincerity at all.]
That does seem to make sense; there's too much calculation in her eyes.
Jiang Liyue obviously realized where this familiar feeling came from.
I never expected that after calling her "sister" so many times in the three instances, there would still be times when she was called "sister" in the same tone.
Jiang Liyue gave a perfunctory "hmm" and ignored her.
She had just clearly seen Li Xue'er subtly push Qian Liu and lead the paper figure toward her.
If she hadn't been there, and if the paper figures hadn't been afraid of her, anyone else would probably have been killed by Li Xue'er.
Jiang Liyue didn't actually dislike Li Xueer's behavior of trying every means to survive in the dungeon.
Having your own abilities is important, but being able to seize opportunities and leverage the strength of others to pass levels is also a skill.
However, as someone who could potentially be exploited, Jiang Liyue couldn't develop any goodwill towards her.
In dangerous situations, they might turn around and push their companions away from behind at any moment, making them unsuitable as teammates.
Moreover, Jiang Liyue doesn't need teammates.
Just as Jiang Liyue coldly withdrew her gaze, her earlobe was gently bitten by a tooth.
"Yueyue, I really want to lock you up." Feng Xuan's voice was deep.
Why is it that everything can attract her attention?
Whether it's paper figures or these humans, they are all clearly insignificant things.
What makes me worthy of her attention?
