The dagger in her hand glinted coldly, reflecting light into her eyes. Before the weapon could fall, Ling Zhu suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils rapidly constricting. She quickly leaped off the bed and turned to find Xiang Xueer holding the dagger.
She frowned slightly, her cautious expression shifting immediately to one of panic as she covered her face and screamed, "Ah, sister, please don't kill me! Help!"
Damn it! Xiang Xueer was startled; this woman's change of expression was as quick as flipping a page in a book. In the darkness just moments ago, she had clearly seen the abnormal change in Ling Zhu's pupils. She was certain that Ling Zhu was no ordinary human.
The scream soon alerted the three people in the adjacent room. Lian Cheng Xue rushed in with the Black Iron Sword and found Ling Zhu sitting on the floor, covering her face and crying in fear, hiding in a corner. "Help! My sister is trying to kill me!"
Li Yunyang and Qingtian followed closely behind and froze at the sight before them. "What... what is going on here?"
"Oh no, I'm so confused! What’s happening?" Duck, still groggy, bumped into Li Yunyang's backside and jumped in fright upon opening his eyes. "Oh my gosh, a nighttime murder of a rival!"
"Shut up!" Li Yunyang stepped forward to help Ling Zhu up from the floor and turned to Xiang Xueer, asking, "What on earth is going on?"
"Sister is trying to kill me!" Ling Zhu threw herself into his arms, sobbing loudly. Qingtian stared at the dagger in her hand and said, "Could it be there's some misunderstanding?"
"There’s no misunderstanding!" Xiang Xueer stepped forward with the dagger raised and shouted, "Li Yunyang, get out of my way! This woman is a monster; I must kill her."
"A monster? You must be crazy! If she were a monster, how could I not smell it?" Li Yunyang blocked her dagger with his body. "Stop this nonsense! Ever since she appeared, we've been arguing about this!"
You idiot! Xiang Xueer glared fiercely at Ling Zhu, her anger boiling over as she shouted, "Li Yunyang, you actually believe that monster over me? I see you've truly been bewitched by that vixen!"
"I... I haven't!" Li Yunyang tried to reason with her. The atmosphere in the room became extremely tense; it was like a fuse ready to ignite. Qingtian stepped forward to separate them. "Hey! Stop arguing! Shirley, are you sure she's really a monster? I don't feel anything unusual!"
Xiang Xueer turned to glare at Lan Ran Qingtian, clenching her fists tightly as she took a step back. Looking at the puzzled expressions of the men in the room, she said, "Fine! If you all don't believe me, then if that woman eats you one day—don't say I didn't warn you!"
Those despicable men! A bunch of fools believing that big-breasted demon instead of me! Furious, Xiang Xueer stormed out of the room. Lian Cheng Xue hurriedly stepped forward to grab her arm. "Shirley, where are you going?"
Xiang Xueer pulled Lian Cheng Xue close and said firmly, "Do you believe this Filling or do you believe me? If you believe me, come with me!"
"This, this..." Just as Lian Cheng Xue was hesitating, Xiang Xueer pulled him towards the door!
"Hey, where are you guys going?" Li Yunyang shouted from behind. She grabbed Lian Cheng Xue and turned to the others in the room, sneering, "We're breaking up! From now on, we go our separate ways! Bye-bye!"
"Breaking up?" The three big men were stunned, momentarily at a loss. They didn't expect that as soon as Ling Zhu appeared, things would escalate like this. The atmosphere in the room dropped to near zero, cold enough to freeze.
"This Dead Girl!" Li Yunyang was furious, her anger boiling over. The most infuriating thing was that this dead woman was dragging Lian Cheng Xue away without looking back. She turned to Qingtian and glared, "Hey? What’s going on between those two?"
Qingtian smacked his lips and quickly turned his head away. "Don't ask me; I don't know anything!"
Due to face-saving reasons, after their recent argument, Li Yunyang stubbornly refused to chase after them. Meanwhile, Ling Zhu gradually calmed down, her eyes flickering as if deep in thought.
"Big sister, wait for me!" Platypus followed closely behind, exchanging glances. Xiang Xueer stopped and turned to look at it impatiently, asking, "Duck, what do you want with me?"
"Big sister, they don't believe you; I believe you!" As soon as Platypus finished speaking, Xiang Xueer and Lian Cheng Xue exchanged a knowing glance and sighed. She squatted down and said, "You silly Duck, this is just a strategy between me, Qingtian, and Lian Cheng Xue."
"Strategy?" Platypus looked at her in surprise. Xiang Xueer then revealed everything she had secretly planned.
Three hours earlier, Xiang Xueer had secretly approached Lan Ran Qingtian and Lian Cheng Xue.
"Don't you think that Filling is very suspicious?" Xiang Xueer said straightforwardly. "This woman has an unknown background and appeared out of nowhere; I think she might be a spy!"
"A spy?" Upon hearing this, Lian Cheng Xue glanced at Qingtian. "To be honest, I also have some concerns about Ling Zhu. It’s really hard to believe that an ordinary woman could master disguise techniques."
After listening to their explanations, Qingtian nodded slightly. "What you both said makes sense. But what should we do now? Expose her?"
"We have no evidence!" Xiang Xueer was particularly adamant about this. Qingtian crossed his arms and smiled. "That's easy; we can split up for this mission. Even if she is a spy, she won't be able to figure out our strategy!"
Lian Cheng Xue clapped his hands. "That's a good idea! We can monitor this woman while also not delaying our main tasks. What do you all think?"
"Ha ha!" Xiang Xueer chuckled softly, patting Qingtian on the shoulder. "Not bad, I didn't expect you to have the mind of a commander."
"Alright, stop flattering me!" Lan Ran Qingtian asked with some concern, "Should we tell Brother Li now?"
"No!" Xiang Xueer immediately rejected the idea. "This guy is straightforward; if he knows anything, he'll spill it sooner or later. So this matter should only be known to the three of us. Don't tell Li Yunyang; it will make it easier to monitor Ling Zhu."
"Okay! Let's do it this way!" Inside the room, the three exchanged glances, and their plan began to take shape.
"Ah, I see!" Platypus nodded repeatedly. "Sister, you should inform me about such plans in advance. You scared me; I really thought we were breaking up!"
"Forget it, at critical moments, you get so scared you wet your pants, and you have a history of being a traitor!" Lian Cheng Xue's words made Platypus jump around in anger. "I'm not a traitor! I've turned over a new leaf and am living a new life!"
While the two were arguing, Xiang Xueer started to feel worried. What troubled her most was how to enter Underground City tomorrow. She looked at the token in her hand; without disguise techniques, it seemed tomorrow would be another challenge.
In the inn, Li Yunyang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. What was going on with that Dead Girl? Could she be falling for someone else and getting close to Lian Cheng Xue?
He sat up with a grunt. "No way! Knowing that this woman likes handsome men, even if I'm not great, I shouldn't be interested in Lian Cheng Xue; he's disabled."
"No way, no way! I need to go find her and clarify things!" He said as he pushed open the door and prepared to go out. Suddenly, he turned his head and noticed a shadow of Ling Zhu passing by. He held his breath and walked over, discovering that it was indeed Ling Zhu heading outside.
"What is this woman doing out so late?" Li Yunyang found it strange and decided to follow her to see what was going on. Just then, a hand grabbed him: "Where do you think you're going at this hour?"
