The two chatted idly on the terrace.
Xin Sui heard a lot of real gossip from Zi You.
for example:
"Did you know? Before Xuan Tu became famous, he attended a banquet once, and a female superhuman took a liking to him and even wanted to take him as her sugar daddy."
"She said that if you followed her, you would have an endless supply of crystal coins, blah blah blah, and then guess what? Xuan Tu burned that woman to ashes without saying a word."
"That woman's family was quite powerful, and they sent many people to seek revenge on Xuan Tu, but they all went and never returned. From then on, Xuan Tu's fearsome reputation spread."
"But there are still people who don't believe in evil spirits. When they see his face, both men and women are easily confused and rush to seek death."
"The more people die, the fewer people dare to look him in the eye."
"But this very Xuan Tu, who keeps strangers at bay and doesn't care about men or women, actually hid you in his secret base and treated you like a doll, combing your hair and dressing you up..."
"Could it be that he's fallen for you?" Zi You suddenly asked.
Xin Sui curled her lip and sneered, "What does he know about liking someone? He just treats me like a plaything."
Zi You: "I see. It seems our plan won't work."
Xin Sui's heart skipped a beat: "What plan?"
Zi You spoke without restraint, as if deliberately revealing to her: "It's the plan to use you to lure Xuan Tu here and kill him."
Xin Sui slapped the spicy strip out of his hand: "Use? Didn't Styx say he wanted to cooperate with me?"
"So that's what you were planning! I wish I hadn't come with him!"
Zi You looked regretfully at the spicy strips on the ground, wondering whether she should pick them up.
“You lure Xuan Tu here, and we kill him. Isn’t that cooperation? Besides, whether you come or not isn’t up to you.”
Xin Sui was speechless, her expression changing several times.
Finally, she gave an angry snort, left him behind, went back to her room, and slammed the balcony door shut.
As soon as she left, Ziyou immediately picked up the spicy snacks on the ground and ate them.
Xin Sui turned around and happened to see this scene, and his lips twitched.
She had already discovered in the parallel world that this subterranean race was a glutton.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until they had finished all the food on the table before making a move on her.
Where have you ever seen a killer get tripped up by delicious food?
He actually did this.
And now, his gluttony has exceeded her expectations.
But her gluttony is a good thing; she might be able to use that to extract more information from him.
That evening, Ziyou called Xinsui to a banquet, a welcome feast specially prepared for her.
The banquet was held in the same grand hall she had seen when she first arrived.
There were already more than a dozen people inside, and the atmosphere was very lively.
However, as soon as Xin Sui entered, the hall suddenly fell silent, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes swept over him.
She suddenly felt like she had stumbled into a vampire party.
If she were still using Li Xueli's body, she would probably become food for these subterranean tribes.
Minghe, who was seated at the head of the table, stood up and introduced her to everyone: "This is Miss Xin Sui. Let us welcome her."
He led the applause.
Sparse applause broke out.
Xin Sui glanced at them; each of these subterranean beings had a handsome and beautiful appearance, but the way they looked at her was like looking at a piece of pork hanging on a hook.
She felt that their bodies might burst open at any moment, and bloodthirsty, flesh-eating monsters would crawl out from inside.
Just as she was about to look away, Xin Sui noticed a subterranean being in the corner with his head down, not looking at her.
He was a young subterranean with long orange hair, reddish ears, and his hair cascading down his chest and shoulders, as if he wished he could hide himself inside it.
This Inner Earth Clan is quite different from other Inner Earth Clans.
Xin Sui sat down cross-legged behind the table next to Zi You.
The banquet was held in a separate seating arrangement, with each person having a low table and a cushion.
Styx clapped his hands, and mushroom-like figures, each less than a meter tall, appeared, carrying plates on their heads.
A glass of red liquid, a plate of raw meat the size of a palm with blood on it, and a plate of fruit that looked like emojis—that was all the food at this banquet.
That red liquid, in both color and smell, looked just like a glass of blood.
That piece of meat gave her unpleasant associations.
The Inner Earth race treats humans as food...
"Ms. Xin, come on, let's toast to our cooperation."
Styx raised the crimson liquid and toasted Xin Sui from afar.
The other Inner Earthlings also raised their glasses and looked at her.
His gaze was cold and oppressive.
Xin Sui, who hesitated to raise his glass, seemed so out of place, like an anomaly.
She darted back and forth between raising her glass and flipping the table.
Just then, that familiar feeling of hunger struck.
The cup of blood in front of him emitted a rich, fragrant aroma.
Only this cup of blood smelled sweet to her sense of smell at that moment.
The source of this blood is then clear.
The Mysterious Path!
How did he manage to mix his own blood in?
Could it be that he has already infiltrated this underground palace?
Xin Sui's heart raced a little. He picked up the cup and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.
Her forthright and decisive attitude stunned the entire subterranean tribe who were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
As far as they knew, this woman was a human being through and through.
But the way she drank blood was just as impressive as that of the Inner Earth Clan.
Xin Sui looked completely innocent: "Why are you all staring at me? Eat!"
I picked up my knife and fork, cut off a piece of raw meat, and put it in my mouth.
The moment she chewed, the anxiety she had been carrying subsided.
