Chapter 116 Another Tribute
His voice echoed in the silent warden's office, and a sudden gaze fell on Li Mo, exuding alertness.
Li Mo slowly turned his head and saw a pitch-black cat squatting at the door of the dark warden's office.
It appeared there at some point, silently, its purple eyes staring straight at Li Mo, squatting by the door and wagging its tail.
Li Mo stared at it and smiled, "Don't be nervous, I won't force my way out for the time being."
"Now...even if I don't go to him, he will come in to see me."
The black cat didn't react to his joy at all, just squatting there exuding alertness.
There was a silent silence between the two parties until the instance ended with a click, and the entire instance was closed and cleaned up.
After returning to the town, Yin Xiu woke up on a chair in the room. It was dusk outside the window. The setting sun covered the sky, casting some soft light outside the house, making it seem quiet and beautiful.
He squinted his eyes and stared out the window. The bustling town drifted in from afar, which was very different from the quiet and desolate atmosphere in the house.
Having just finished a copy, he was not very tired physically, but a little exhausted mentally. Yin Xiu leaned back in his chair and took a nap, not getting up for a long time.
Until two footsteps were heard in the alley outside the door.
Someone walked towards this side slowly while greeting others, then stopped in front of Yin Xiu's door and knocked.
"Are you back, Xiu?"
It was Ye Tianxuan's voice outside the door, which was very familiar. He was too lazy to pay attention to it, but was instantly startled by the strange name.
"What?" Yin Xiu opened the door with a sullen face.
Ye Tianxuan stood at the doorway filled with potted flowers and greeted Yin Xiu with a smile, "I just finished the dungeon and came to see if you made it out alive."
Yin Xiu stared silently at the potted flowers that had been placed at the door at some point in time, and fell into silence.
"Another tribute?"
"I don't know. It seems that these flowers they bought from a small town store need to be watered regularly to stay fresh." Ye Tianxuan said, picking up the watering can on the ground and spraying it on the petals. "You must remember to take good care of these gifts and don't let them wither."
"After all, dungeon assets are earned through life in the dungeon. Who would use them to buy something that withers so quickly, like flowers?"
Yin Xiu stared silently at the flower pots placed on both sides of the door, and sighed helplessly, "I know."
Fishing and growing flowers, he seems to be more and more like an elderly person in the small town.
"Oh right." Ye Tianxuan suddenly remembered something and waved to the side with a smile, "Come, come and say hello to your brother Xiu."
Yin Xiu looked up and saw a familiar face standing a few steps away.
The 1.80-meter-tall young man, with an honest look written all over his face, shyly waved to Yin Xiu, "Boss Yin Xiu..."
It was Zhong Mu, the newcomer who followed in the first dungeon.
Yin Xiu nodded slowly, "You're here."
Zhong Mu immediately walked over quickly, his face full of enthusiasm. "I packed up and came here quickly, but the day I got here, you, Boss Yin Xiu, went into the dungeon, so I didn't have time to say hello to you."
His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "I've finished your dungeon. You're worthy of being called Master Yin Xiu! You've even cleared the special dungeon! You're incredible! I'm so lucky to have you guide me through the novice dungeon!"
Yin Xiu nodded, while Zhong Mu continued to chatter, "After coming to this town, I realized how wonderful the environment is. As soon as I arrived, many important people welcomed me, arranged a room for me, and restocked my daily necessities. They also gave me a lot of dungeon clearance records to read."
He scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. "Everyone says I'm a good seedling and they're so nice to me. This place feels completely different from my old town."
"Yeah." Yin Xiu responded calmly. Seeing that it was almost dark, he turned around and went to the refrigerator to prepare a sacrifice for Queen Ye.
The last time he went to a dungeon, he bought a lot and piled them in the refrigerator, enough for Queen Ye to eat for a while.
Zhong Mu saw Yin Xiu enter the house and was still enthusiastically following him, muttering about the gaps he had discovered since coming here. "They stayed up all night to help me cram through the game's videos and even gave me a weapon. It's a high-end axe, and they said it would be perfect for me! I've never been taken care of like this in my old town. I'm so touched!"
"Luckily, I followed Boss Yin Xiu and passed that dungeon safely!"
"Yeah." Yin Xiu nodded and put the meat into the iron bowl at the door.
"Anyway, I came here to thank you, Brother Yin Xiu, for helping me through the first dungeon. I didn't do much to help you, but you were busy enough to get me through the dungeon. You also brought me to this small town. Thank you so much." Zhong Mu looked at Yin Xiu with a sincere look in his eyes. "Thank you, Brother Xiu!"
Yin Xiu felt uncomfortable being called that, so he waved his hand calmly, "I understand. Do your best."
"I also want to work hard to become a big boss! And do something for Brother Xiu in the future!" Zhong Mu clenched his fist with confidence, looking very goal-oriented.
"Yeah." Yin Xiu nodded perfunctorily, "As long as I'm alive."
"Okay! I'll go back to study now!" After saying hello, Zhong Mu waved and turned around to run back, looking particularly energetic.
"You've brought back a talented youngster! I've never seen anyone so eager to learn and possessing such potential." Ye Tianxuan nodded with a smile. "He doesn't flinch when faced with terrifying things, has a good memory, and is decisive when necessary. The people who took him to dungeons have come back with high praise for him."
"Yeah." Yin Xiu nodded. From the fact that Zhong Mu could stay beside him without being afraid of Li Mo, it could be seen that he was a good seedling. As for bringing him to the town, it was really a convenient thing.
"While it's still dark, let's go for a stroll by the lake." After chatting about trivial matters, Ye Tianxuan leaned against the door frame and made an invitation with a smile, "I just finished the special copy. I have one more copy to complete before I can go to the final copy. If you don't chat with me, I'm going to leave here."
Yin Xiu stared at him intently, "This is the last dungeon. Go through it well. Don't bring anyone else with you. You can just do it twice at worst."
Ye Tianxuan narrowed his eyes, his profile immersed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and he said leisurely, "Bringing people with me is not something I can control just by saying I won't. Watching someone's breathing fade away in front of me is more painful than dying myself."
Yin Xiu frowned in annoyance, "Do you know how much longer you have to live?"
"There are still quite a few left." Ye Tianxuan happily pinched his fingers and gestured, "In the last dungeon, I asked the stall owners on each floor to calculate, and I still have a lot of life left. It's no problem for me to pass the final dungeon, so don't worry about it."
Yin Xiu pinched the note in his pocket and stared at him coldly, "You'd better be."
Ye Tianxuan's face flashed with embarrassment, then he smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go fishing by the lake. You see, when I went to the store with them to buy flowers, I also bought a good thing."
Yin Xiu closed the door silently and followed Ye Tianxuan along the alley towards the lake.
"What good stuff?"
"this."
Ye Tianxuan took out a small bottle of bubble water from his pocket, unscrewed it, held it up to the sky, and blew out a series of bubbles with the wind.
The light and dreamy bubbles sparkled brilliantly in the sunset light, swaying and floating throughout the narrow alley.
This is something that is rarely seen in this small town that exudes danger, or perhaps no one has the leisure to blow bubbles.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the bubbles. They watched as a series of colorful bubbles lingered around Ye Tianxuan and suddenly burst.
