Sensing Su Luo's arrival, the beauty on the Rose Throne slightly shifted her stiff body and scoffed disdainfully, "Human?"
"You're the first human to come looking for me in all these years."
The woman in the rose wedding dress stood up and stepped down from the rose throne. As she moved, Su Luo could clearly see that beneath the fresh rose wedding dress was a emaciated body, like dried bacon, covered with dripping blood roses.
The first human to approach us?
"Could it be that many strange creatures came looking for you before?" Su Luo smiled and deliberately asked, but saw that the beauty looked puzzled and a hint of doubt flashed across her face.
"A strange object?"
"Are you talking about that box?"
Following the beauty's empty gaze, Su Luo saw a familiar, rusty ticket box behind the Rose Throne. The box was tightly closed, surrounded by roses that trapped it.
Perhaps because she had been there for too long, or perhaps because it was the first time she had seen a living, fresh human come up, the Rose Beauty did not immediately attack Su Luo. Instead, she began to scrutinize and admire Su Luo's appearance.
"She has a stunningly beautiful face; any man would find her attractive."
"Tell me how many men are pursuing you."
Rose Beauty spoke weakly, and upon closer listening, there was even a hint of sorrow in her voice. If Rose Beauty were still alive, only one word would come to mind to describe her.
A resentful woman.
A resentful woman confined to her boudoir.
"Look at those eyes, they're so captivating, I can't help but be smitten with them, let alone those men."
Su Luo: ...
There are even these kinds of ghostly creatures? She's really seen something new today!
Slightly turning aside to avoid the Rose Beauty's withered fingers that were trying to stroke her face, Su Luo still had a layer of doubt about the Rose Beauty's words.
Logically, shouldn't Rose Beauty be complaining about the strange male figure outside? Why does she keep mentioning men? Could it be that this strange creature was once... human?
A bizarre creature mutated from a human!
This is a huge discovery, a huge secret!
If humans can truly mutate into strange creatures, then what are those strange creatures? Were they originally indigenous people? Or were they all once humans?
This was a secret that Su Luo had never heard of in his previous life. Even in the files of a place like the Noah Base, there was no record of humans being able to mutate into strange creatures!
Shocked and dismayed, Su Luo looked at the rose-scented beauty before her, which only strengthened her resolve.
"Pah, it's just a man, is it really that big of a deal?"
You should abandon your love-struck mindset, especially since you've turned into a monster, and a three-star one at that! Sister, wake up!
"A mere man isn't worth it!"
"Love is not permanent."
"True love? How much is it worth?"
Money is permanent.
"With money, what kind of man can't you find? Sister Rose, if it were me, I'd probably go on a killing spree!"
Su Luo's remarks seemed too advanced, too bold, and even unconventional for Rose Beauty. Rose Beauty did not respond for a moment, but could be heard muttering something, which seemed to be what Su Luo had just said.
"Isn't love permanent?"
"Money is the only thing that matters."
"With money, what kind of man can't you find?"
A distant memory from the depths of her mind surfaced in the Rose Beauty's withered brain. The man, whose face was obscured, disgustedly shook off her hand and threw the ring out the window.
We were just playing around.
She's a wealthy and powerful heiress, why would I give her up to come to you?
Look at you, so thin, like a dried-up corpse. It's disgusting to look at you. Don't bother me! Get lost.
"But I became like this because of you!"
Rose Beauty suddenly shouted in front of Su Luo, clutching her chest and collapsing to the ground in pain, as if she had just remembered something.
Yes, it's all about money.
She's right.
She yanked off the ring hanging from her chest and tossed it casually off the hot spring hotel.
Men aren't worth it!
As the Rose Beauty threw away the shackles that bound her, her once withered body began to regain its elasticity, and fresh skin wrapped around flesh began to grow, revealing a cool yet delicate face to Su Luo.
"Sister is so beautiful, it's that man who has no taste!"
As he spoke, Su Luo boldly approached the rose beauty, tentatively enticing her, "Want to come with me? Food and lodging included, and fresh food too, man!"
...
'Ding! Congratulations, host, for clearing the three-star monster dungeon, Rose Hot Spring Hotel! You have received the following reward: Rose Hot Spring Hotel specialty, Rose Hot Tea! Tea effects: Long-term consumption of this hot tea can cause gradual weight loss, mental confusion, and ultimately, death. There is no cure. (Note: This tea is only effective against monsters of three stars and below. For monsters of three stars and above, the effect depends on the specific monster.)'
'Ding! Congratulations, host, for clearing the three-star mystery dungeon, Rose Hot Spring Hotel, within 72 hours. You have received a special reward: Rose's Wedding Dress (The user of this dress can force the other party to increase their intimacy level with the user, up to a maximum of 10.)'
'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully contracted a three-star artifact: Rose Wedding Dress. Artifact storage capacity increased by 1.'
The strange object's name: Rose Wedding Dress. The host can name it themselves (**).
'Ability: Men are born to fall at her feet! Increases attack power against male monsters by 10%. The more handsome the male monster, the greater the damage bonus!'
'Current affinity between the monster and its host: 8.'
This is truly... an unexpected ability.
No wonder Zhao Cai fell for it; a male ghost, good-looking... Su Luo suddenly remembered the Painted Skin in his hut.
Rose Beauty probably wouldn't be so idle as to fuss over her painted skin every day.
Looking back on this trip, it turns out that the foodies were the safest.
Even a one-star monster has its advantages.
Being unattractive can sometimes be a form of protection.
However, Zhao Cai, who had been returned, showed no signs of waking up, even though the roses had released him.
"It's advancing in rank." Rose Beauty walked over and glanced at Zhao Cai, still speaking in a weak voice, but with less resentment and more indifferent indifference to the world. "When it wakes up, it will be a three-star monster."
Su Luo was taken aback and looked down at the ticket box in his hand. When he contracted Zhao Cai, he went directly from one star to two stars, and his exclusive monster dungeon also leveled up. It had only been a few days, and he had only gone to a three-star monster dungeon, and he was about to break through again.
"Is he also one of your contracted creatures?"
"The origin of this strange creature is unusual."
“I sensed an aura of something very ancient in him.”
That's why Rose Beauty brought Zhao Cai along. Unexpectedly, she also brought Su Luo along.
Listening to Rose Beauty's words, Su Luo secretly made a note of them, recalling what Zhao Cai had said to her on the bus, and wondered if Zhao Cai had really been to Blue Star before.
