Chapter 108 Life is like a play, all about acting skills
Gu Nanqiu pursed her lips. She looked at the person standing on the stage, went through the information in her mind, and quickly confirmed the person's identity.
She leaned close to Yue Yiyue's ear and whispered, "Ye Qiu's identity has some working relationship with the other party, but I swear it's just a working relationship."
On the high platform ahead, Zhou Qingyi was still excitedly talking to herself: "Baby, I made a subtle modification to this area so that you could completely belong to me."
“I really have to thank your sister here; she told me all her weaknesses.”
"Let me know how we can be a match made in heaven."
"Of course, before that, I am willing to use the fairest means to win your heart and let you see clearly what kind of cowards the people around you are."
"After you've given me your whole heart, we'll get married here and build our love nest together." Such a wonderful future—wealth, money, power, and beauty.
She could have it all. Thinking of this, Zhou Qingying excitedly stepped on Zhou Qingyi's head.
Lord Greed has good taste in choosing her as his servant.
She will be better than any of the puppets Greed has ever made.
With a slight exertion, the person lying on the ground let out a painful groan. Their hands, bound behind their backs, were also pinched until they turned white.
Yue Yiyue pushed Gu Nanqiu directly into Yu Man's arms, and a sharp dagger flashed and attacked Zhou Qingyi's face.
Zhou Qingying looked up, a faint golden light flashing in her eyes, and the sound of metal rolling came from all around.
As if she had expected it, Yue Yiyue beckoned with her finger, and Gu Nanqiu, who was standing in the distance, immediately understood her intention. A thick tentacle quickly appeared under Yue Yiyue's feet.
With a light tap of his toes, Yue Yi leaped into the air and landed sideways on the ground. His other tentacle swept up the gold coins in the air and quickly threw them into a deserted corner.
An explosion rang out, and debris flew towards Yue Yiyue, only to be completely blocked by the tentacles.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhou Qingying was startled by the tentacles, Yue Yiyue pointed at one of them.
The tentacles instantly wrapped around Zhou Qingying's waist, dragging her backward and restricting her movements.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yue Yiyue began to cut the ropes made by the twisted, disgusting monster behind Zhou Qingyi.
As Yue Yiyue moved, the rope made a sharp cracking sound, and Zhou Qingying, who was nearby, was immediately stung by the sound, leaving a ring of dense bloody welts on her hands.
Seeing Yue Yiyue slow down, Zhou Qingyi gritted his teeth and mumbled, "Just cut it open. If your hand is ruined, so be it."
"He's capable of great things," Yue Yiyue thought to himself, and without slowing down, he quickly cut the rope.
Zhou Qingyi stood up, grabbed Yue Yiyue's hand with all his might, and ran desperately toward the exit.
"You..." Before Yue Yiyue could react, Zhou Qingyi pulled him towards that direction.
Sticky blood stained Yue Yiyue's hands. Yue Yiyue counted the beats, then sped up and hoisted Zhou Qingyi up in one go.
Behind her, Zhou Qingying's entire face was covered with strange gold coins, and beside her was a fish head holding a large knife, whose tentacles had long since disappeared under the fish head's attack.
A tiny figure of Yue Yiyue was frozen in the cold eyes of the fish. Its gills fluttered slowly, and its eyelids blinked. The knife in its hand sliced across Zhou Qingyi's face, and gold coins poured out along her broken wound.
It fell to the ground and slowly grew bigger, eventually growing limbs.
Soon, the people who had contorted their postures followed them like a tide, with a clear objective.
Yu Man had already pried open the door. She threw something on the ground, and the room instantly filled with thick smoke.
It also has a peculiar spicy flavor.
“Don’t stop after you go out. They’re all outside. Go through that orange door.” Zhou Qingyi’s hoarse voice squeezed out these words softly: “They’re all listening. I’ll bite your hand later, then we’ll go through that door.”
Yue Yiyue had no choice but to speed up to catch up with Yu Man and Gu Nanqiu, leaving them with the words, "Follow me."
The road was difficult to traverse. The swarming monsters were shredded by Yu Man and then torn apart by Gu Nanqiu's tentacles, clearing the path.
They managed to carve out a bloody path through the enemy lines.
I don't know how many purple gates I ran through, nor how many orange gates I passed through.
As a slight pain shot through his hand, Yue Yiyue instinctively lurched to the side.
Yu Man glanced behind her, then pulled Gu Nanqiu, who was only focused on cleaning up the trash, and they both crawled inside.
————
With a snap, the room went dark, the door disappeared, and the disgusting roaring sounds outside were also blocked out.
Yue Yiyue pressed himself against the wall, listening to the footsteps outside, which seemed to be running in another direction.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, panting softly, afraid that she might have made a big move and attracted something she shouldn't have.
"Put me down," Zhou Qingyi complained softly. "I was almost shaken to death by you, instead of being tortured to death by my sister."
Yue Yiyue belatedly put Zhou Qingyi down: "Sorry, the situation was too urgent just now."
Zhou Qingyi's voice wasn't particularly weak, but his hand was still bleeding.
Before Yue Yiyue could ask, Gu Nanqiu considerately handed over a box, adding, "It's for stopping bleeding."
"Do you guys have the confidence to beat that thing?" Zhou Qingyi looked at his emaciated appearance, somewhat lost in thought. He hadn't expected to end up like this, and it was a bit ridiculous.
In just over ten days, she endured inhuman torture.
Although she herself couldn't be called a good person, she was betrayed by her own sister.
Indeed, she gave a bitter smile.
"The reason I was so desperate to find Koya was because of my sister."
"That cake was also a gift she prepared for me when we first met. Its purpose was to confirm whether Gu Ye and Gu Nanqiu were the same person, and it was also the first step in driving me insane."
"Later, it was with the help of He Wu and Wu Zhen's eyes that we confirmed that Gu Nanqiu had a clone."
Zhou Qingyi leaned against the wall, watching Yue Yiyue gently apply medicine to her: "I'm sorry about what happened in City A, thank you."
"I genuinely wanted to treat you to dinner that time to apologize."
"And that film critic behind you, that was indeed arranged by my sister. Her original intention was to attract Ye Qiu, but she obtained your information through some illegal means, just to use this to lure you over."
All of this was within Yue Yiyue's expectations.
Gu Nanqiu was not surprised.
"I can't beat them." Yu Man looked at the wall and touched the wound on her arm, where colorful black substances were gushing out.
It seems to contain a strange universe.
A strange, sweet fragrance filled the room, stimulating everyone's taste buds and even increasing salivation.
Gu Nanqiu rummaged through the bag and took out another bottle of medicine, which he handed to Yu Man.
“There are so many monsters on the other side.” Gu Nanqiu continued Yu Man’s words, calmly analyzing the current situation: “Greed is hiding in the corner and won’t fight us head-on.”
"To be more precise, it's not that we can't beat them, it's just that this small world can't withstand this kind of turmoil."
Yu Man glanced at Gu Nanqiu, nodded seriously, and looked at Yue Yiyue: "The last time you were resurrected, you destroyed three worlds. That's why your mother doesn't let you participate in official dungeons in this life and has imposed some restrictions on your abilities."
"Moreover, because of my mother, our strength here has been weakened, and there are also rules in this place that are deliberately targeting Gu Nanqiu, which makes us have a lot of concerns."
"What we need to pay special attention to is that this place is now the domain of greed, unless Gu Nanqiu himself comes here."
To break this balance and reclaim sovereignty over the world.
Yu Man didn't say it aloud, but she believed everyone knew what the second half of the sentence meant.
She shut her mouth, glanced at Gu Nanqiu standing to the side, and under his approving gaze, retreated to where she should have been.
After listening to Gu Nanqiu and Yu Man's words, Yue Yiyue felt that something was wrong, but the urgency of the matter made her think that everything made sense.
"Isn't Gu Nanqiu's true form Gu Nanqiu?" Yue Yiyue seemed a little confused: "You can't exactly say that you're having Ye Qiu and the others come over, gather the seven Qius, and then combine them into one big Qiu, can you?"
But seeing Gu Nanqiu's eyes, Yue Yiyue said with some doubt, "No way... do we really have to collect all seven Qius?"
"If you had told me earlier about something so important, I would have gathered them all before coming here." Yue Yiyue had already come to her senses. She stood there, staring at Gu Nanqiu, carefully observing his appearance.
"A leap." Gu Nanqiu suppressed the worry between his brows, hesitated for a long time, and sighed, "It's not like there's no other way."
“But this method is a bit unfair to you, and I don’t really want to use it.” Gu Nanqiu stared at Yue Yiyue with a troubled look on her face: “If you become my keeper and share life with me, I will also be able to sense your emotions, just like the relationship between the forensic doctor and Gluttony.”
"In that case, everything I have is at your disposal. As long as you call upon me in your heart, my clone can come here through this special link."
"But that just means we can never be apart again..."
“It’s just too unfair to you, so I’m starting to not want to talk about it.”
Zhou Qingyi stared at Gu Nanqiu in shock. Just as he was about to speak, something covered his mouth, preventing him from making a sound.
Yue Yiyue noticed this small detail, but she made her decision in just thirty seconds and patted Zhou Qingyi's shoulder reassuringly: "Just do as you say, that way you'll be able to take control of this place."
What should I do?
What can I do?
How should I cooperate with you?
————
The lighter glowed faintly, and Yue Yiyue found a bowl in the corner.
It looks pretty clean.
Gu Nanqiu took out a bottle of water from somewhere and glanced at the two people standing in the way of the room with a hint of resentment.
If the two of them weren't around, she could supply herself with fresh blood through her own lips and tongue.
What a pity.
It's such a pity.
Yue Yiyue stared at the bowl, lost in thought. This scene wasn't unfamiliar to her; it was just that this time, she was the one in the spotlight.
He confirmed the steps again: "Are you sure that once our blood mixes, drinking it will be fine?"
"There were a few other steps, but we've already finished them, so it's just a little bit left to do." Gu Nanqiu washed the bowl again.
In the past, the dishes contained her own flesh and blood to nourish Yue Yiyue. Some time ago, when Yue Yiyue's sanity was low, she fed him some of it again.
Moreover, Yi Yue has never rejected anything inside his body.
Sometimes I think about how a part of myself is comfortably staying in Leap's stomach.
Although there was some jealousy, the life of being able to hug Yiyue after turning over was even better.
The brightly colored blood, with its sweet taste, dripped into the bowl.
Yue Yiyue, imitating Gu Nanqiu, also cut his palm.
As soon as the blood fell into the bowl, it was quickly enveloped by Gu Nanqiu's blood, lingering and swirling in the small bowl, eventually merging into one and turning into a beautiful pink color.
Gu Nanqiu stared at the long, narrow wound on Yue Yiyue's hand. She bent down, her bright red tongue gliding over the irregular wound, gently sucking the blood that kept flowing out, as if she were sucking up some life-saving medicine.
Yue Yiyue felt the pain in his hand transform into a different kind of tingling numbness, especially the final light kiss, which sent a strange electric shock through his body.
"Alright." Gu Nanqiu looked at her hand, which had disappeared and returned to normal, and rubbed it against Yue Yiyue's wrist. "I still have many more functions waiting for you to develop, but we'll talk about them when we get back tonight."
"What a leap! After drinking this, I will never be able to leave you again."
Even if you die, you will return to my side because you shared my life.
Even if you leave, I can still sense where you are.
If I wanted to, I could stand beside you and hold your hand.
From this day forward, we will never be apart again.
We'll never separate again.
She was tired of life without Yue Yiyue.
Of course, Yi Yue doesn't need to know any of these things.
All Yue Yiyue needs to know is that Gu Nanqiu belongs to him.
She went to great lengths to stage this whole thing, wasn't it all for this moment?
"Nanqiu." Yue Yiyue took the bowl and looked at Gu Nanqiu: "I was right there when the forensic doctor forced Bubble to sign a breeding agreement back then."
After drinking half of it, Yue Yiyue handed the other half to Gu Nanqiu: "I voluntarily gave up my freedom and chose to share everything with you and be bound to you."
"because I love you."
