Chapter 318 We Are Family
"I know." Yin Xiu responded calmly, "They're not afraid of me, but Li Mo."
"As long as they can't kill Li Mo, they will always come to see me."
Ye Tianxuan nodded, "As long as you have a good attitude, remember to go back to town for dinner after your date."
He waved and turned away, not wanting to disturb the two any further.
"What date?" Yin Xiu muttered, turning around to see Li Mo still nervously staring at his waist. He immediately put down his rolled-up clothes. "It's nothing. You're not your real body now. Staying by your side won't affect me."
But Li Mo's tension did not ease. Yin Xiu always made him feel sad because of his sudden change.
Seeing that words of comfort were useless, Yin Xiu put away the knife, reached out and touched Li Mo's cheek, staring into his eyes, "If you don't want me to turn into a monster, I will try my best not to become a monster, so there is no need to worry so much."
Li Mo lowered his eyes and met Yin Xiu's gaze. Even though there was not much emotion in it, he could still feel what the other person was thinking. He lowered his head and rubbed Yin Xiu's forehead.
He liked his boyfriend's body temperature, the human warmth that he didn't have.
He also likes the sound of his boyfriend's breathing, heartbeat, and blood flowing in his veins when he sleeps.
When it turns into a cold monster, all these disappear, and along with them, human emotions.
"Just keep being your boyfriend as he is now." Li Mo hugged Yin Xiu and snuggled up to him.
He understood his boyfriend's desire to become a monster for him and be with him forever, but it was meaningless for two cold monsters to just stare at each other until the end of time.
He wanted his boyfriend to live a short but rich and fulfilling life as a human being without any regrets.
Holding the body temperature that made him feel satisfied in his arms, Li Mo lowered his head and kissed Yin Xiu on the forehead. It was not a touch that was purely out of love like in the past, but a touch that was filled with strong and deep possession and attachment, trembling and cautiously falling on his skin.
The remaining coldness seemed to penetrate his skin and reach his heart.
Yin Xiu shuddered slightly, looked up, and met Li Mo's eyes. He reminded him again: "We are family."
At least that was the agreement before.
"Yeah." Li Mo responded with a smile, but his demands were far more than that. He hoped to occupy all positions in Yin Xiu's life, family, friends, lover... in case one day in the future, someone would be more important than him in Yin Xiu's heart.
The little monster wanted to take all the space in Yin Xiu's heart and make this person his own.
Yin Xiu took a deep breath, said nothing more, and looked into the distance.
After cleaning up the mess of the dungeon, it’s better to spend time like this with the person I love, rather than sitting by the lake and fishing alone.
Before it got dark, Yin Xiu led Li Mo back to the town. Ye Tianxuan was arranging people to place the dungeon players in one place, waiting for Zhong Mu to come back for negotiations.
After going through so many hardships, this group of dungeon players no longer have any trust in the small town players. Now they won't listen to anything and just clamor to see their captain, Zhong Mu.
Zhong Mu fainted after using the Flower of Suffering and was taken away by Mu He. After he woke up, he was sent back.
After discussing for a while, the players in the small town decided to let Zhong Mu meet them in his original attitude and be as honest as possible. If they still couldn't reach an agreement, they would let Boss Ye take over.
So the room was full of people including Mu He, Zhong Mu, Ye Tianxuan, Yin Xiu and Li Mo.
Those dungeon players who were originally shouting and extremely reluctant to stay here slowly shut their mouths after looking at the people coming in one after another. After seeing Mu He coming in, their eyes suddenly lit up and they were very excited.
"Captain! Captain, save us!"
"Woo woo woo, Captain, you're finally here! Come and save us!"
Noticing those expectant eyes falling on him, Mu He was a little at a loss and could only respond with a smile.
Ye Tianxuan on the side broke their expectations with a smile, "This is not your captain, this is."
He raised his chin and gestured towards Zhong Mu.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhong Mu, then at Mu He, "No, this is our captain, we remember what he looks like!"
"That's right! Don't try to fool us with this stranger!"
Then he continued to stare at Muhe with anticipation.
Zhong Mu scratched his head awkwardly. "Indeed, I am your captain. I am meeting you in this person's appearance."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent. Those people stared at Zhong Mu, still somewhat unconvinced.
Zhong Mu sighed and reluctantly took out the axe from the prop bag. "You don't know me, but you know this, right?"
When they saw the axe taken out, everyone was even more stunned.
It was the captain who used the axe to chop off the dissenting voices. The axe was this one, but the person was not that person.
Everyone was puzzled for a long time, staring at Mu He and Zhong Mu for a long time, and finally said dully: "So... the one with the axe is our real captain, isn't he the good-looking one?"
"Yeah!" Zhong Mu nodded vigorously, then stood in front of Mu He. "I just borrowed his appearance. It was actually me who was with you yesterday."
Everyone fell silent again, seeming to find it hard to accept.
"You're a small town player, and you approached me in a disguise we didn't recognize... So..." The dungeon players looked at each other in frustration, "Were we made captains by a traitor?"
They were even more devastated after they figured out the truth.
"So, there's no way you can integrate into the town now." Ye Tianxuan pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and threw it in front of them. "This town doesn't have any rules. All the rules you see are fake. Without the two-month deadline, there's no way to pass it. You can either integrate into the town or be killed for getting in the way. It's your choice."
The players in the dungeon were stunned, looking at the note on the ground and feeling extremely upset.
Even the rules are fake, so aren't they just a joke going crazy from beginning to end?
"If we can't clear the level... then what should we do..." The dungeon players lowered their heads in frustration after the successive setbacks, their minds dazed. "Then we're just waiting to die."
"If you want to live, you only have one choice." Ye Tianxuan stared at them, "Follow our town."
Then, he rubbed his hands nonchalantly and leaned back in his chair. "If you want to live, come to my side. If you don't want to live, go over there and die."
He pointed at Yin Xiu who was sitting in the corner.
Yin Xiu, who was sitting in the corner watching the fun:?
What do you take him for!
