Chapter 185 So Many Eye-Catching Guys
Not only was Jiang Liyue surprised, but the viewers in the live stream were also caught off guard.
Even when the same instance is opened, the tasks for each player are not exactly the same.
This is the only way to keep the audience curious; otherwise, if every task is the same, it will eventually lose some of its appeal.
What the heck? Is this Noi?
Are you telling me that all the players went through so much trouble searching for someone named Noy, only to find out that Noy was actually a gem?
I don't know why, but I feel like laughing. This dungeon is just so twisted! It's deliberately messing with the players.
After all, upon closer reflection, it didn't actually say they found a "person" named Noy.
[Monthly shock, monthly bewilderment, monthly...]
Jiang Liyue took the blood-red gemstone from the jewelry box inlaid with jewels.
Although she had doubted whether Noi was human before, she never expected that he really wasn't!
It wasn't a person, or even a living being, but a gem placed in a box.
However, it's true that some unique and precious gemstones do have names...
Seeing Jiang Liyue staring blankly at the gem, Xie Shiyuan assumed she genuinely liked it. He tried hard to recall its origins before finally remembering.
"The full name of this gem should be the Heart of Noy. It is said that a merchant obtained it from an ancient castle. The duchess Noy of the castle left behind the Heart of Noy after her death."
"The Duke insisted that the Heart of Noi was his deceased wife, called her Noi every day, and said that at night Noi would transform from a gem into a human to keep him company."
"Later, the Duke died clutching the Heart of Noy, his family declined, and his descendants sold the gem."
Then, the Heart of Noi ended up in Prison No. 01 and became one of Xie Shiyuan's collections.
As Jiang Liyue listened to his explanation of the gem's origin, she held up the blood-red gem, about half the size of her palm, to her eyes.
Under the lights of the enclosed room, the blood-red gemstone appeared to have flowing blood inside, making one almost doubt whether the gemstone possessed life.
Jiang Liyue blinked and looked at Xie Shiyuan curiously: "So, this gem can really turn into a person?"
Since the mission has already come to this, she's too lazy to explore it herself, so she might as well just ask Xie Shiyuan directly.
"This is just a story." Xie Shiyuan glanced at the gem in her hand and began to find it a bit of an eyesore.
What turns into a woman's jewel at night is nothing but trash hiding inside the jewel.
"This gem is too big, and it hasn't been made into jewelry, so it's neither easy to match nor practical."
Xie Shiyuan first subtly belittled her, then changed the subject, "Yueyue, I have other gems here, would you like to take a look?"
Jiang Liyue looked at him inquisitively, her eyes unblinking.
Xie Shiyuan stared at her for two seconds, then gave in and said honestly, "Okay, whether I could become human before or not, I can't now."
"There is no life in here."
Just thinking that this gem once belonged to a person made Xie Shiyuan not want her to touch it.
If I had known he had this kind of thing in his collection, I should have secretly thrown it away long ago!
Although Xie Shiyuan was uncertain, Jiang Liyue knew that the gem was probably "Noy," the duke's wife.
Otherwise, the instance wouldn't have determined that she had completed the quest.
She wasn't particularly curious about how the other person turned into a gemstone.
In any case, within the world of dungeons, even the bizarre is normal, so what else is strange?
Jiang Liyue held the gemstone and pondered for a while, then felt an increasingly scorching gaze upon her.
She looked up and noticed that Xie Shiyuan's expression was becoming increasingly resentful, and he kept glancing at the Nuoyi in her hand.
Jiang Liyue: ...Okay, this bastard's possessiveness has started again.
She was speechless and amused, but decided not to provoke him any further. Instead, she casually put the gemstone back into the box.
“You’re right, I also think this gem isn’t very practical.”
Xie Shiyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't wait to put the box away and throw it on the darkest shelf in the room.
After quickly completing this series of actions, he probably realized that the actions were too hasty, and explained in a serious tone: "After all, things that have killed people are unlucky, so let's keep them away."
Jiang Liyue: ...Huh? The warden of your No. 1 prison would think that something that kills people is unlucky?
Then what is auspicious, Prison No. 01?
[Noe: Yes, yes, yes, it's bad luck for me]
[I'm dying of laughter. So the warden thinks it's unlucky for Noe to be near his wife, since he's human.]
My dear wife, just spoil him!
A man who is too jealous is not worth keeping. Yueyue, divorce him soon, and while you're at it, come and see me.
[The true intentions were revealed at the beginning...]
After Xie Shiyuan finished speaking, he probably realized that his reasoning was too far-fetched.
But he always had a cold face and showed no sign of guilt, simply changing the subject naturally: "Since Yueyue doesn't like it, why don't we look at something else?"
Jiang Liyue shook her head: "Never mind, I don't want to watch it for now."
Xie Shiyuan was even happier: "Then let's go back and continue reading, or if you want anything else, I'll have someone get it for you."
What a worthless gemstone, Yueyue, just forget about it.
Jiang Liyue nodded, but then remembered something: "I don't want anything else, but I haven't seen Yiyi since that day. Bring her up to me."
That's right, a few days later Jiang Liyue finally remembered what she had forgotten.
Hopefully, Yi Yi's doll wasn't torn to pieces by the prison guards in Area A.
Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome for her to pick up the fragments and reassemble them piece by piece.
Xie Shiyuan's relaxed mood instantly plummeted. Thinking of the little girl who loved to cuddle with Yueyue, he felt a pang of regret.
How could I forget? That night was so chaotic, we should have taken the opportunity to have someone take that annoying doll out of prison and sell it.
A malicious thought arose in his heart, but seeing Jiang Liyue looking at him expectantly, Xie Shiyuan had no choice but to nod: "Okay."
Jiang Liyue waited for Yi Yi to come to her, but Xie Shiyuan said in a serious tone, "Your doll is getting along very well with Mo Xi now and has become Mo Xi's doll. I don't really want to come."
Jiang Liyue felt something was amiss, but with the gold chain still on her ankle, she couldn't go to Yi Yi to verify it.
When Xie Shiyuan wasn't there, Yi Yi sneaked into the office, crying and hugging her legs: "Waaah, Master, Yi Yi has finally found you."
Jiang Liyue: ...She knew it.
Although Yi Yi secretly said that Xie Shiyuan was a bad guy, when he came back, she still obediently slipped into the collection room and pretended to be dead.
When Xie Shiyuan returned and sensed the extra presence,
Annoying ugly doll!
So Xie Shiyuan obviously worked even harder that night.
In her half-awake state, she vaguely heard Xie Shiyuan's deep voice in her ear: "Yueyue, just the two of us, okay?"
Jiang Liyue lay perfunctorily on his chest: "Okay, okay."
Xie Shiyuan was so happy that he hugged her and kissed her several more times.
Finally, gazing intently at her sleeping face in his arms, he whispered, "Baby, I love you."
