After kicking the boy, she grabbed Zhong Mu's shirt and wiped her mouth, then tilted her head back with a smile, as if nothing had happened. "Brother Zhong Mu, are you alright?"
She was so sweet that it made you forget she had wiped her mouth with someone's clothes.
"I'm fine..." Zhong Mu glanced at the person on the ground, then glanced at the other players around him.
Oh no! This young boy's sudden stab summoned Ya Ya, and now the little sister he described has appeared! What's the point of everyone searching anymore?!
The others stared intently at Ya Ya for a long time before clapping their hands. "Isn't this Boss Yin Xiu's sister?! The features match perfectly!"
"Yes! She really is Yin Xiu's sister. She really is on this island!"
"There are other children on this island. That child was the one who was lying!"
Everyone selectively ignored why the sister they were looking for suddenly appeared here, or rather, appeared out of thin air. But since she's the big boss's sister, and she's been able to live alone for so long, she must be a special child! Just the fact that she can appear out of thin air and then kick someone over is impressive enough!
"Hey, how did you know I'm Yin Xiu's sister?" Ya Ya peeked at them happily, then looked around. "My brother went—"
Before Ya Ya could finish her question, Zhong Mu quickly covered her mouth. "Little sister! I've finally found you! Where did you go?! You scared me to death!"
Ya Ya, whose mouth was covered: ? ? ?
"Don't run around like that again next time, it really worried me." He pretended to hug Ya Ya, then quickly whispered a summary of what had happened in her ear, asking her to cooperate, afraid that he might accidentally reveal that he wasn't Yin Xiu.
The boy who had been kicked to the ground was still a little confused. How did a little girl suddenly appear, and there really were other children on the island?
"You...where did you come from? I clearly haven't seen you on the island before." The boy got up and stared straight at Ya Ya. He looked like a very young child, but he was clean all over, had eaten a full meal, and had cute little braids. He didn't look like a child living in a dungeon at all. He exuded a spoiled and pampered feeling.
Having learned the whole story, Ya Ya innocently hugged Zhong Mu's leg, looking completely naive. "I secretly went to eat in my brother's spatial artifact. What's wrong?"
Yin Xiu is a high-level player, so it's normal for him to have a spatial item! She didn't tell her brother and secretly went inside to eat! It's also normal for Yin Xiu to be looking for her everywhere because he didn't know!
The other players understood perfectly well that once they confirmed that Zhong Mu was indeed the big boss Yin Xiu, they would readily accept the situation with just a small reason.
The boy narrowed his eyes and sneered, glancing at Zhong Mu and then at Ya Ya. "You two liars. Although I've never met Yin Xiu, I've heard about him in high-level dungeons. He retired to live in a small town after failing to find his sister. He's only recently participated in some dungeons, but he still hasn't found her. You two are both fake!"
"Nonsense! I am my brother's sister!" Ya Ya said confidently, hands on her hips. Unless Yin Xiu's original sister appeared, she would still be considered his sister!
"I don't think so. I've heard that... Yin Xiu's sister wasn't actually in the instance at all. She died outside the instance a long time ago. All the high-level players know that he's still alive just to keep a memory for himself. He could never have found his sister in the first place." The sarcasm in the boy's eyes made Ya Ya's face harden.
She clenched her fists, her face full of anger, and was about to rush over when Zhong Mu picked her up, her fists still flailing wildly in the air.
"Don't go over there. Anyone who intends to kill him will be killed by him instead." Zhong Mu had already learned about this from the comments section and wouldn't easily fall for the boy's deliberate attempt to provoke them.
"Oh, you seem to know quite a lot, but even if you don't kill me, I can still kill you." The boy chuckled, toying with the knife in his hand. "This knife is truly coated with poison. Once it cuts someone's skin, they will die instantly. That's how I've killed many people who meant me no harm."
Zhong Mu stared at the boy with a stern face. He couldn't let the boy get close to them and touch them with the knife, nor could he let Ya Ya reveal her monster form, otherwise things would become even more complicated.
Since this sudden appearance disrupted his plans, Zhong Mu no longer cared about the original plan. When it comes to clearing a dungeon, flexibility is key!
Holding Ya Ya, he stared fearlessly at the boy in front of everyone, "Even if you want to kill me with that thing, it won't be that easy."
Then he raised his other hand and shouted menacingly, "Li... uh, Little Li! Show yourself!"
The boy looked confused, as did the other players. What was this pro player... summoning?
Just as they finished their bewilderment, a strange cry rang out from above, followed by a huge black shadow descending from the sky and crashing down in front of everyone with a thud. The twisted monster exuded an eerie and terrifying aura, baring its fangs and claws as it writhed its tentacles, revealing its sharp teeth to the players.
A monster suddenly fell in front of them, and the players were so frightened that they hid behind Zhong Mu.
The monster was still cackling when Zhong Mu gave it a wink, "The one over there! Go deal with the one over there!"
The little tentacle paused, wondering why the target of its intimidation had changed. This wasn't the original plan.
It turned its head in confusion and saw the little boy covered in wounds staring at it warily.
"Ah...it looks like, a tiny, boyfriend." It wriggled its body in surprise, trying to get closer to take a look. Just as its tiny tentacles reached out, the other party suddenly stabbed the knife into one of its tentacles.
The tentacle dumpling looked at the knife on its tentacle with a puzzled expression, then at the boy and then at the knife. "Is this... meant for me to eat?"
When we met, I would give it something cold to eat, just like my ex-boyfriend did.
"What a kind person!" It snatched the poisoned knife, threw it into its mouth, and chewed it clean in two quick bites, leaving not only the player bewildered but also the young boy completely baffled!
That was a poisoned knife! A cut to the skin would kill! How come this monster is completely unharmed and even ate it?! Does this even make sense?!
After it finished eating, it spat out the bare handle of the knife and gave it back to the boy, saying, "I only made a new knife for my boyfriend, so I won't give it to you. Here's the handle back to you."
The boy didn't understand, nor did the others, and of course, Zhong Muya didn't understand either.
However, the viewers in the live chat understood.
"Brothers, this roommate has also eaten Xiu Ge's knife before. She said she only makes new knives for her boyfriend."
"That's right, which means my roommate has met Brother Xiu before!"
"Yes, yes, but Brother Xiu's memory is blurry, isn't it? I suspect Brother Xiu doesn't remember this at all!"
"Furthermore, since it consumed Brother Xiu's knife and gave Brother Xiu another knife, is it possible that the knife it gave Brother Xiu is the special knife he has now?"
"It's possible. Last night, Brother Xiu's knife didn't even leave a mark on the chainsaw! Is it possible that the knife wasn't an ordinary knife at all?"
"That makes sense now."
"What an amazing amnesiac reunion story! I'm totally shipping them!"
"If we're going to analyze this, we're the ones who do it! Follow our advice, you can't go wrong!"
Zhong Mu glanced at the excited comments on the screen. Couldn't the seniors be a little more reliable? Stop nitpicking about sweet moments at a time like this.
A bunch of men are always messing around with Nantong, can't they be a little more normal?! He's scared!
