Without any hesitation, Fan Xuanye jumped down and caught Xiong Ruoyou, who had fallen to the ground.

"Ah, help!" Xiong Ruoyou was strong, but cowardly.

As soon as she heard Fan Xuan Ye's voice, she quickly reached out and hugged him, trembling in his arms.

Looking down at the two people who had fallen below, Mu Xueyao's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.

"What do we do? We've fallen!" Xiong Ruoyou looked around in fear, feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears. Why were all the traps aimed at her?

"It's alright, there should be a side quest here too." Fan Xuan Ye remained calm, putting one arm around her waist and leading her forward.

"Close your eyes." Fan Xuanye's vertical pupils narrowed. Although it was dark around him, he was a snake, and the darkness had no effect on him.

"Okay." Xiong Ruoyou nodded obediently and closed her eyes.

The moment she closed her eyes, Fan Xuanye wrapped his arms around her knees and carried her in a princess carry.

Xiong Ruoyou was surprised that he would pick her up, and instinctively exclaimed in surprise, hugging Fan Xuanye even tighter with both hands, but her eyes obeyed him and did not open.

Fan Xuanye coldly raised his eyes, and changes began to occur beneath him.

The snake's body replaced his legs, extending to the ground, and scale-like things began to appear on his hands.

With a sudden burst of strength, Fan Xuanye moved swiftly across the ground like an arrow released from a bow. His speed was so fast that the NPCs who were preparing to scare him had no time to react. They only felt a black shadow flash by, and when they turned their heads, Fan Xuanye and Xiong Ruoyou had already disappeared.

Wow, Snake Bro's move was amazing!

[Xuan Ye was so cool! Seriously, he just carried her away in a princess carry?]

[Help! I'll scream for help a few more times, can I also get a Fan Xuan Ye?]

Fan Xuanye left with Xiong Ruoyou in a carefree manner, but Mu Xueyao felt awkward.

She was also afraid of this place. When she went on the four-person mission before, she was still scared even with Su Qiluo and Fan Xuanye by her side, let alone being left here alone.

"Fan Xuan Ye, Xiong Ruo You?" she called out tentatively, but as expected, no one answered her.

Seriously? He just left without even looking after her?

"Is anyone there?" She panicked completely, and after calling out several more times, no one answered her.

"Bai Pufeng, Wenyue!" Her voice was almost a scream. After she finished speaking, the air instantly became quiet. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Still, no one paid any attention to her.

"No, don't leave me alone." Mu Xueyao started to get scared. She couldn't help but shrink back and groped her way to the passage where Su Qiluo and Mu Qingyun had left earlier.

She reached out to try and leave through the passage, but after groping around for a long time, she still couldn't find it.

Why, why did they suddenly disappear?

"Tick-tock, tick-tock."

In the quiet hospital room, water droplets slowly dripped onto the floor; in the absence of light, the sound was truly eerie.

"Help!" she cried, her face pale, as she slowly crouched down.

......

"They're out."

Su Qiluo stopped cultivating her mental power with Mu Qingyun, stood up, and straightened her clothes slightly.

"Squeak—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Fan Xuanye stopped, holding Xiong Ruoyou in his arms.

"Alright, you can get down now." Fan Xuanye's snake body quickly transformed into human legs, and he gently placed Xiong Ruoyou on the ground.

Xiong Ruoyou finally opened her eyes, which had been closed the whole time. Along the way, Fan Xuanye would sometimes stop to look for clues, and she would help him. Only when they passed through some scary places would she snuggle in Fan Xuanye's arms.

Therefore, she felt involved in the game without being scared.

"Brother Mu!"

As soon as Xiong Ruoyou saw her, she ran over and hugged her tightly. "Waaah, you scared me to death, Brother Mu!"

"It's alright, you're out now, aren't you?" She turned to look at Xiong Ruoyou, patted her back with a light laugh, and offered simple reassurance.

"Brother Mu, you have no idea. After you left, I fell straight down the stairs. It scared me to death. If Xuan Ye hadn't been there, I might have died in there." Xiong Ruoyou couldn't help but shrink back when she thought about how she suddenly fell.

It's clear that this has caused her considerable psychological trauma.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun smiled. It turned out that the floor really did serve that purpose, but she hadn't expected it to frighten Xiong Ruoyou again.

"Looks like we'll definitely have to invite you when we do game livestreams from now on," Su Qiluo said with a light laugh.

Xiong Ruoyou was taken aback by his words and stared blankly at Su Qiluo, asking cautiously, "General Su, what do you mean by this?"

"With you here, the show's entertainment value is off the charts." Su Qiluo spoke to Xiong Ruoyou in the same way Su did, but the girl was honest and wouldn't overthink things.

Fan Xuan Ye, standing to the side, paused for a moment, then glanced at Su Qi Luo without changing his expression.

Although Su Qiluo is now Mu Qingyun's other half, they are currently only close to Mu Qingyun, and have barely spoken a few words to Su Qiluo.

Therefore, Su Qiluo probably wouldn't speak to Xiong Ruoyou in that tone.

"Oh, really? Thank you, General." Xiong Ruoyou didn't catch the teasing in Su Qiluo's words at all, and actually thought he was praising her, so she immediately replied with a thank you.

This thank you left Su Qilu completely bewildered.

His face showed a complicated expression, but he still managed to say, "It's nothing."

"Is this password correct?"

Suddenly, Wen Yue's voice came from another doorway.

"It should be correct," Bai Pufeng replied simply, pressing a few numbers.

The machine responded for two seconds and then turned on.

It was indeed Wen Yue and Bai Pufeng outside, but both of them had some small wounds on their faces.

This is...

Mu Qingyun narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Su Qiluo. Su Qiluo seemed to have anticipated that her gaze would fall on him. When their eyes met, he smiled and nodded, confirming her guess.

That's really true.

She looked away, a smile playing on her lips. Su Qiluo's way of avenging her was, so far, the most perfect.

Without anyone noticing, everyone thought it was just a game.

Stepping inside, Wen Yue was surprised to find all four of them there. "When did you all come in?"

"You know perfectly well why I asked that question. I must have asked it before you," Mu Qingyun replied calmly.

"You!" Wen Yue was taken aback by her words and instinctively leaned forward, wanting to punch Mu Qingyun.

But before she could take more than a few steps, Mu Qingyun and Su Qiluo's icy gazes turned toward her almost simultaneously.
