Chapter 243 Terence Castle
After the initial shock, Jiang Liyue's first thought was surprisingly, "I knew it."
Although Chu Li acted exceptionally gentle and aloof, and although he never cast a passionate glance at her.
She seems completely different from her boyfriend in the game.
But it was that inexplicable intuition, that subtle sense of unease.
This always made Jiang Liyue have moments of doubt.
Now that her suspicions have been confirmed, Jiang Liyue feels that her conjectures have been put to rest.
She then curled her lips into a smile.
Let her think about when Chu Li appeared. It seems like it was only two instances ago, right?
Well, that bastard is still a bastard. He said he would find her, but he already found her a long time ago.
They're even putting on an act for her there...
Jiang Liyue chuckled, preparing to drag the person over and explain things to her, but before she could even leave the house again, the system notification she was used to received appeared.
She should move on to the new instance.
Never mind, no rush.
Anyway, that scoundrel can't escape. As for why he kept it from her, she'll find out when they come out of the dungeon.
Jiang Liyue slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
Dungeon Name: The Ball at Terence Castle
Dungeon Difficulty: A
Dungeon Quest: Attend the ball at Terence Castle and survive for seven days / Find the secret of the ball.
Terence Castle has reopened after a century, and the mysterious Duke has invited people from all over the country to a ball. It is said that the ball is for the Duchess, so please enjoy this festivities!
[Please note that the Duke loves his wife dearly, and she prefers quiet; please do not disturb her rest.]
As the introduction ended, the familiar feeling returned, and Jiang Liyue opened her eyes, even her attire had changed.
She was sitting in front of a not-so-clear mirror.
In the mirror, she was wearing a blue Loroko-style dress, which was not fussy but rather very simple.
Her long black hair was braided into long braids on both sides and wrapped in a hair towel of the same color. Apart from that, the only jewelry she wore was simple pearl earrings.
Even so, it couldn't hide her beauty, especially her dark and bright eyes, which were like the finest obsidian.
She looks like a sweet and pretty medieval country girl.
[It's here! This seems to be a brand new dungeon that has never appeared before!]
【Yay! I love new dungeons! The content and settings are all new, unlike dungeons I've seen many times before where I already know the steps and they're boring】
+1
Let me see, this new dungeon seems to be set in the Middle Ages, like a castle ball or something, I like it.
[Wow, is that a player? What a pretty little player!]
[Haha, isn't this my sister Yue?]
[Waaaaah, Yueyue's new look is revealed! Every style of Yueyue makes me swoon!]
Jiang Liyue was admiring her own appearance when she heard a woman's exclamation: "Oh! My dear Yue, you look absolutely stunning! I'm sure you'll win the favor of some noble young master at the Duke's ball."
It was only then that Jiang Liyue noticed that there was a middle-aged woman standing next to her who was dressed in an even more flamboyant manner, thin and wiry but with shrewd eyes.
She quickly formed memories of this instance character in her mind.
Now, this instance is similar to the second instance she experienced before; both instances involve characters with established identities and settings.
This instance is set in a Western medieval style, with kingdoms, villages, dukes, and castles of varying sizes.
In this instance, "she" is named Liyue, and she is an ordinary girl from a village.
She might not be ordinary, and what makes her extraordinary is that her appearance is simply too beautiful.
Although she was a country girl, she had snow-white skin and long, beautiful, black hair as black as seaweed.
In short, he was very popular with all the young men in the village.
She has been living alone since her grandmother, with whom she depended on each other, passed away two years ago. A few days ago, this well-dressed middle-aged woman claimed to be her distant aunt, Mrs. Lisa, and wanted to take her home after hearing that she was living alone.
Most importantly, Terence Castle opened a few days ago, supposedly because the Duke of the castle was going to hold a ball and invited many people to attend.
Although it is said that people from all over the country are invited to participate, in reality, one needs certain status to join the ball in the castle.
Aunt Lisa's husband was a businessman with some assets. He had gone to great lengths to obtain an invitation and was thinking of taking Jiang Liyue to broaden her horizons.
Mrs. Lisa said that this ball was a great opportunity, as there were many talented young men there, and if one caught their eye, one might be able to achieve upward social mobility.
“With your beauty, you certainly shouldn’t be confined to such a poor and backward mountain village. My dear Yue, I believe you deserve better.” Mrs. Lisa held Jiang Liyue’s hands in both of hers, speaking with heartfelt sincerity.
But Jiang Liyue clearly saw the scheming in her eyes.
The first quest in the instance is to attend the Terence Castle Ball and survive for seven days.
The prerequisite for this mission is being able to enter Terence Castle, which is mentioned in the mission description, indicating that attending the ball at Terence Castle is not an easy step.
Therefore, Jiang Liyue didn't care what schemes Lady Lisa might have.
As long as they can participate, that's fine.
Jiang Liyue looked like a country girl who had been completely fooled.
She grasped Mrs. Lisa's hand in gratitude, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Thank you so much, Aunt. You are simply the best person in the world to me. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Mrs. Lisa probably never expected that Jiang Liyue, who had been so taciturn before, would suddenly become so eloquent.
However, she was clearly very satisfied with Jiang Liyue's attitude, thinking that country girls are so easy to fool.
She immediately said, "This is what your aunt should do for you, good child. You are the most beautiful and sensible child I have ever met."
[Pfft, this sudden family scene feels so fake to me.]
[Haha, Yueyue's wife is still using the same old tricks: after coaxing her man, she coaxes the NPC in the dungeon.]
[Yueyue: The trick doesn't have to be old, as long as it works.]
[It feels like two drama queens are putting on a show, hahaha]
[Your initial feeling was correct.]
"Thank you, Auntie!" Jiang Liyue threw herself into Mrs. Lisa's arms, almost knocking the thin woman back two steps.
Mrs. Lisa felt like her back was about to break and almost suspected that Jiang Liyue was doing it on purpose.
Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Liyue pitifully raised her head from her arms and said, "Auntie, I've never had a mother since I was little. I never expected you to be so good to me. I will definitely treat you like my own mother."
In an instant, Mrs. Lisa couldn't bring herself to say the words of accusation.
It seems this girl is just a bit clumsy in her actions, but actually quite slow-witted.
She could only secretly support her aching back, which felt like it was about to fall apart, and forced a smile to comfort Jiang Liyue: "Good, good, you're such a good child. Don't worry, you're also Auntie's only child."
Then soon, Lady Lisa, who claimed to be the only child, took Jiang Liyue in a carriage and saw a carriage full of girls like her.
Jiang Liyue turned to look at Aunt Lisa: The only child?
Aunt Lisa looked away awkwardly.
cough.
She just never thinks before she speaks.
