After the little demon finished encouraging everyone, she stood quietly to the side like a beautiful work of art.
Of course, it can only be admired from afar, not touched or handled.
As night fell, a row of maids appeared in the castle, each carrying two silver trays, and they entered the hall with graceful steps.
The silver tray was placed on the long white table in the hall, and the lid was lifted to reveal the fragrant food inside. Only then did the girls leave with smiles on their faces.
People who have been starving all day are mostly distracted by the aroma of food.
Food and drink were right in front of them, but no one dared to touch them. The fourth level of the game left a deep impression on those who were still alive.
Xie Baiyu leisurely pulled Xu Nian over to sit down. He attentively served Xu Nian a plate of food and a bowl of soup, and then ate by himself.
Seeing that Xie Baiyu had started eating, Xu Nian also began to eat in an orderly manner.
For a moment, the only sounds in the entire castle hall were the two of them eating.
It wasn't until the two of them finished eating and leisurely walked up the castle steps that the others realized that the food was probably fine this time.
Dozens of people began to eat around the long white table.
After leaving the noisy lobby on the first floor, the two went up to the second floor to choose a room to sleep in.
After looking around, Xu Nian realized that every room had the same layout, so she stopped being picky.
He casually opened a door and went inside, with Xie Baiyu following behind him.
His constant presence clearly indicated that he wanted to live with her.
Before Xu Nian could even ask him to leave, Xie Baiyu explained, "Nian Nian, I've noticed a few male players have ill intentions towards you. I'm worried about them not living with you. What if they break into your room at night and hurt you?"
"..." Xu Nian was speechless. If you want to live together, just say so. There's no need to make excuses.
"Besides, I can't sleep without you by my side." Xie Baiyu said, coughing weakly a few times, looking as pitiful as could be.
Her exquisite appearance and pitiful demeanor make it very easy for people to soften their hearts.
Xu Nian glanced at Xie Baiyu but did not stop him from requesting to stay.
Finding the walk-in closet, Xu Nian saw rows and rows of various clothes and picked out a set of light yellow pajamas to take a bath.
The pajamas were plain and unremarkable, completely covering the wearer up.
So when Xu Nian came out of the bathroom wearing it, Xie Baiyu's expression showed a moment of obvious disappointment.
Before he could even process his disappointment, a blanket was thrown at him, and then he heard Xu Nian say coldly, "The bed is mine, do whatever you want with it."
"Okay." Xie Baiyu went into the bathroom dejectedly and didn't come out until Xu Nian fell asleep.
After a long while, he dared to tiptoe out, still clutching the clothes Xu Nian had changed out of.
After finding a suitable place to hang the clothes to dry, he turned around and climbed into Xu Nian's bed to sleep.
Niannian said she would let him have his way.
He wants to sleep in the bed too, no problem, let him be.
When Xu Nian woke up, she saw Xie Baiyu's smiling face, which was not surprising at all.
"What time is it now?"
"Has anything happened outside tonight?"
Xu Nian's two consecutive questions completely destroyed the ambiguous atmosphere.
Xie Baiyu didn't know whether Xu Nian truly understood or was pretending not to. He was lying so openly next to her, didn't she have any thoughts about it?
Waking up and immediately thinking about other things is such a killjoy.
Although he didn't intend to do anything else, he just wanted to get a good morning kiss from her!
But who knows the pain of being misunderstood?
“It’s morning now. Last night, someone was shouting and yelling in the castle. We’ll find out more if we go out and take a look.” Xie Baiyu tugged at his half-undone robe, his deliberately suggestive gesture.
However, Xu Nian didn't even linger her gaze on him. She simply got out of bed and went to the bathroom, leaving Xie Baiyu there, hating her for being a blockhead.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Xu Nian went to the lobby on the first floor and realized that Xie Baiyu was unusually quiet today.
It wasn't just Xie Baiyu who was quiet; the entire castle was quiet.
"Ah!" A short scream instantly caught Xu Nian's attention, and instinctively, out of curiosity, she went to find the source of the scream.
In the art gallery on the first floor, a female player was running around stumbling, muttering to herself, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to scam some money. I didn't mean to kill you."
Xu Nian brushed past the female player, wanting to pull her aside to ask what was going on, but Xie Baiyu stopped her and shook her head.
Watching the female player's panicked retreating figure, Xu Nian turned to Xie Baiyu and asked, "Why did you stop me just now?"
“Her mental state is no longer normal, and you can’t save her.” Xie Baiyu’s eyes were penetrating, causing Xu Nian to lower her head with a grim expression.
"Then what should we do? Just watch others die and do nothing? Wait for this game to pronounce my death at some point?" Xu Nian twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing an ugly smile.
"Niannian, don't rush, let's go check on the dead male player first!" Xie Baiyu pointed to a kneeling figure at the end of the art gallery.
Xu Nian glanced at Xie Baiyu with a puzzled look, and the two of them walked together to the side of the dead male player.
His head was lowered, his shoulders slumped, and strangely, he was strangling himself with his hands. The expression on his face after he died was extremely ferocious.
Xie Baiyu circled the corpse and finally concluded that the male player had strangled himself.
