Chapter 88 The Fox Duke's Invitation
Fox Flame hates humans so much that even if Bai Xiao wanted to ask something, it definitely wouldn't tell him.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiao took out the Fox Princess's crown from his backpack and put it on his head.
The Fox Princess's crown can command intelligent fox monsters three times. Bai Xiao plans to use it at a crucial moment, but not using the Fox Princess's crown will not affect her wearing it.
After Bai Xiao put on the crown, the argument between Hu Yan and the players in Unit 3 of Building 3 abruptly stopped.
The fox princess's crown fit perfectly on Lili's head before, but now it looks a little small on Bai Xiao's head. However, the crown is exquisite, and Bai Xiao is wearing a formal dress, so it doesn't look out of place on her head. It has a delicate and refined feel.
The players in Unit 3 of Building 3 were wondering why the fox-like guest had suddenly stopped talking when they saw the fox-like guest take two steps to Bai Xiao's side, lower his head and stare intently at the crown on Bai Xiao's head.
Fox Flame's gaze fell on the crown, his eyes filled with both wariness and nostalgia. He asked sharply, "Where did you get your crown?"
With such a huge fox monster standing in front of her, Bai Xiao inexplicably thought of Li Li, who was less than her shoulder height. Was it because they were both red foxes that they looked so alike?
Bai Xiao: "Monster Realm, a gift from Miss Fox Lili."
Fox Flame's expression changed instantly, and he said through gritted teeth, "Monster Secret Realm? You met the princess in the Monster Secret Realm? Are you sure you're not lying to me? Think it through before you speak. I am the Duke of the Fox Kingdom. If you deceive me, you are making an enemy of the entire Fox Kingdom."
Bai Xiao: "What I said is true. If you don't hate humans, ask around among the human employees and you'll find out that the third level of the Monster Secret Realm is 'Miss Fox's Birthday Party,' and the main character is a fox monster named Lili."
It turns out that Lili really is a fox princess; Bai Xiao sensed a conspiracy.
She suddenly remembered that the monsters in the second level of the Monster Realm also seemed to have identities, such as the imprisoned leader of the gray wolf monsters.
Bai Xiao had previously thought that the monsters in the Monster Secret Realm were the same as the monsters that appeared in the dormitory corridor at night—non-intelligent monsters that only ate people.
But now a fox princess has appeared in the monster's secret realm, and the fox duke in front of us is an intelligent monster, so it's impossible that the princess of their country isn't.
Furthermore, in the third level's storyline, all the monsters can talk, and she can't see any details about them, which she finds very strange.
Could it be that the monsters in the Monster Realm were originally intelligent monsters?
Who put them in the monster's lair and made them level NPCs, where they died time and time again at the hands of human players?
Is it 44?
Bai Xiao immediately dismissed the idea. It couldn't be the fourth dormitory, because the Monster Realm wasn't just for players in the fourth building and fourth unit; players from all the dormitories could participate.
Therefore, those who control the Monster Realm must be beings superior to administrators like Si Si.
Upon hearing Bai Xiao's words, Hu Yan's first reaction was to turn and look at the players in Unit 3 of Building 3, his eyes full of questions.
Player from Building 3, Unit 3: "...I haven't reached the third level yet."
The players in Unit 3 of Building 3 were drenched in sweat...
A player from Building 3, Unit 3 said: "But I redeemed information about the third level at the trading center. The third level is indeed 'Miss Fox's Birthday Party.' It is said that there are other little monsters participating, such as little sheep and little monkeys."
After hearing this, Fox Flame believed it completely. It placed its left hand on its right chest, bowed to Bai Xiao, and said sincerely, "I am very sorry, madam. I hope you can forgive my rudeness just now. Our country's princess has been missing for a long time. The king once thought it was the work of humans, which led me to have some prejudice against humans."
Bai Xiao nodded in understanding. If their own child is abducted, their family will definitely hate the human traffickers. Even if they know that other humans are innocent, they will definitely not have any good feelings towards humans.
Fox Flame straightened up and looked at Bai Xiao: "Thank you very much for telling me the princess's whereabouts. Would you be willing to come with me to the Fox Kingdom to tell the king where the princess is?"
The details on the Fox Princess's crown state that a large reward will be given for information leading to her whereabouts.
But Bai Xiao felt something was off. Fox Flame was the first monster Bai Xiao encountered that was unfriendly to humans, and it also said that the king of the Fox Kingdom believed that humans had kidnapped the fox princess, which was why it disliked humans.
So what about the other foxes? Influenced by the king, they probably also dislike humans.
Bai Xiao felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She just felt an instinctive aversion to Hu Yan's invitation and wanted to refuse.
Besides, she still has to work. If she skips work, who knows if she'll get fired from Monster Restaurant.
Ever since Bai Xiao learned that human employees could be dismissed unconditionally, she felt a great sense of crisis. Although she coveted the Fox King's generous reward, she could still distinguish between what was more important and what was less.
A big reward might only come once, but working part-time pays off every time, and you can even participate in the Monster Forest. If you get fired, you'll really be penny-wise and pound-foolish.
Bai Xiao declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm still at work."
Fox Flame: "I can wait for you to get off work."
Bai Xiao: "I have other things to do after get off work, could we reschedule for another day?"
Putting aside his strange feelings, Bai Xiao had made plans to go to the Monster Forest with his teammates today, and he couldn't easily cancel. If one person was missing, their team might not make the list, and it would also affect the relationship between teammates.
Seeing that Bai Xiao kept refusing, Hu Yan's expression immediately turned very cold: "I'm very sorry, madam, our king is eager to know the whereabouts of the princess. If you don't have time today, I will have to find someone else."
The players in Unit 3 of Building 3 were initially looking at Bai Xiao with envy. They thought, "He gets to go to the Fox Kingdom to see the King! It seems like he'll have some new opportunities. This violinist is really lucky."
He never expected that good fortune would befall him the next second.
Looking towards Building 3, Unit 3, Hu Yan politely inquired, "Sir, are you free after get off work?"
What a huge surprise! It made the third building, third unit, dizzy. They couldn't suppress their smiles and said, "Yes, I have time!"
Anyway, no one wants to team up with him, and he can't go to the Monster Forest at night. Maybe if he goes with Duke Fox, he'll gain something else.
Fox Flame decided to stay and wait for the players in Building 3, Unit 3 to get off work, but he was no longer in the mood to listen to the violin music. He was focused on taking Building 3, Unit 3 back and reporting to the king about the princess's situation in the monster's secret realm.
The player from Unit 3 of Building 3 escorted Bai Xiao back to the lounge. He hadn't forgotten that this opportunity was because of Bai Xiao. After Bai Xiao entered the lounge, he also came in and closed the lounge door behind him.
Bai Xiao watched his movements, unsure of what he was planning to do.
The player in Unit 3 of Building 3 whispered, "The opportunity to go to the Fox Kingdom should have been yours. Don't worry, whatever information or items I get, I'll share them with you."
Bai Xiao looked at the player in Unit 3 of Building 3. He was right. This opportunity was originally hers, but she always felt that something was wrong. However, she could not hide the excitement in the eyes of the player in Unit 3 of Building 3.
She doesn't have any evidence right now, and she can't exactly say that her intuition is weird, so she should tell him not to go.
The third building, third unit continued, "I'm currently the foreman in charge of the human employees on the fifth floor. I can enter the monster's secret realm twice a week without using my work card. I can enter once more this week. When are you coming next? I'll come on the same day as you and share the information or items with you."
Bai Xiao: "I'll come tomorrow."
He was willing to share, and Bai Xiao was naturally happy to do so.
The player from Unit 3 of Building 3 smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow. Even though we can't be teammates, can we get to know each other? My name is Xiao Ke."
Bai Xiao: "Xiao Xiao."
After exchanging names, Xiao Ke had to go out and get busy.
As he left, Bai Xiao couldn't help but say, "The Fox Kingdom is an unfamiliar place. Remember to be careful when you go."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke turned around and smiled at Bai Xiao: "I know, I will definitely come back."
