Lan Ying looked at him, her feelings quite complicated.
Before coming here, she had already rehearsed various methods of revenge in her mind, but now she couldn't use any of them.
If she hits him even slightly too hard, he'll fall apart, right?
Once he falls apart, can he put it back together? Will he still be able to talk to her like this?
Faint human voices could be heard.
Rhett Butler glanced down the corridor, and suddenly a wall moved in, blocking the entrance.
In this way, no one can disturb them.
Bai Ruide took out his carefully selected treasures from over the years and placed them one by one in front of Lan Ying.
"I traded this 500-year-old pearl with a giant clam. Don't you like to use pearl powder on your face? This should be quite effective."
"This is mermaid yarn. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and it's waterproof and fireproof. It comes in all sorts of colors. You can use it to make a beautiful dress. I remember you love wearing dresses the most."
"This is blood coral. It's said that eating it can beautify the skin and improve complexion. I've stored a lot for you, you..."
The moment he saw Lan Ying shed tears, he stopped speaking abruptly.
Rhett Butler stepped forward, wanting to comfort her and wipe away her tears.
However, when she raised her hand and saw her own sharp finger bones, she feared she might cut her skin.
I could only stand there helplessly.
Despite being a terrifying and horrifying skeleton, it somehow evokes a sense of pity.
Lan Ying could no longer hold back and rushed over to hug him.
She bit down on his collarbone.
But I didn't dare to use too much force, afraid that he would bite it off.
Rhett Butler had been a skeleton for many years; his body was gone, so naturally, he no longer had any physical sensations.
However, when she bit him, he felt a tingling sensation in his collarbone, as if an electric current had surged through his entire body.
"Don't be afraid, my bones are very hard, you can bite them all you want."
Lan Ying burst into laughter through her tears.
I punched him.
The person who claimed to be tough was actually beaten to a pulp by her.
Bones clattered and fell all over the ground.
Lan Ying was shocked and quickly squatted down to pick up his bones, trying to put them back together.
The more anxious they were, the more mistakes they made.
They scattered the skeleton everywhere.
"Rhett Butler, what do we do? I've broken you apart..."
A soft laugh rang out, and the pile of bones on the ground automatically assembled, reforming into a skeleton.
"It's okay, I can put it back together even if it falls apart."
Looking at the perfectly intact skeleton in front of her, Lan Ying was overjoyed, but then became furious.
He kicked it.
"Then why are you making me all sweaty and anxious? You're just messing with me!"
"I just want you to have fun. Sakura, are you still going to try? If not, I'll restore myself."
Lan Ying: "..."
Does he think of himself as a Lego toy?
She suddenly curled her lips into a wicked smile, "Go ahead and try. I'm tired of playing with your body, now it'll be nice to play with your skeleton."
Rhett Butler let out a barely audible sigh. "Whatever makes you happy."

"It's all your fault! You slept so soundly last night! You didn't even know the secret realm had opened, making me miss my chance to enter!"
As soon as Xin Sui entered the private room of the hot pot restaurant, she saw He Qianjiao twisting Li Bate's ear and fiercely accusing him.
Li Bate, feeling guilty, weakly explained, "Even if I were awake and woke you up in time, you might not be able to get in."
"The secret realm only lasts for one minute, given your slow and indecisive nature—"
He Qianjiao's eyes widened, and she let out a heavy "Hmm?"
Li Bate immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.
Forget it, a good man doesn't argue with a woman.
It's just having your ear pulled off, it's no big deal, it's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh.
However, the moment Li Bate looked up and saw Xin Sui, he immediately pried He Qianjiao's hands off.
He even winked at her.
My sister's here, so give me some face!
If you ruin my image in front of Shirley, I'll get angry with you!
He Qianjiao stepped on his foot under the table, but didn't say anything more.
She greeted Xin Sui with a bright smile: "Shirley, you're here! Come and sit down."
Xin Sui walked over, amused.
She woke up early in the morning to a message from Li Bate saying that the ghost ship had been activated last night.
She refreshed the news again and found that the top trending topics in Bright City were dominated by news about the "Ghost Ship Opening".
You'll understand what happened after reading this.
I came here today to ask Li Bate about the specific situation.
The three of them ate and chatted.
Xin Sui asked, "How many people entered the secret realm last night? Was the casualty rate high?"
Li Bate peeled a shrimp and put it in her bowl.
"Your brother is an intelligence expert, how could I not find out this little bit of information?"
“Last night, 34 people went in, or maybe 35, because the identity of the first person is still uncertain.”
"As for the casualty rate, of the 34 people who went in, only 2 stayed inside, presumably dead, while the rest came out."
"The loss rate is less than 6%, which is extremely low."
"This means the ghost behemoth has a relatively high safety factor, so we can charge in."
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked in the foot.
Li Bate almost cried out.
Chao Heqian looked over and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you now?"
"If you had woken me up last night and we had gone in, the loss rate might have been even lower."
Li Bate: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, okay?"
He Qianjiao: "Then how will you make it up to me?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the shrimp in Xin Sui's bowl, then looked at his own empty bowl.
