"As for this player..." Yin Xiu stared at Li Mo amidst the hunters' gazes, slowly lowering his voice, "I don't think he'll die so easily. I guess it'll take some time to slowly torture him."
The hunters nodded in understanding. Indeed, this monster looked incredibly powerful! Even a top-tier hunter wouldn't have an easy time killing it; they understood.
"Go, pro! Don't let this terrifying player get away!"
"Yes! As long as you keep an eye on him, we can freely hunt players tonight!"
"I ran into him by chance a few nights ago while I was looking for other players, and it really scared me! He's a pro!"
The hunters chatted as they turned and left, deciding to ignore the player shown on the locator and go elsewhere.
Along the way, they also spread the word that the terrifying, dark-skinned man on the island had been captured by their boss and was being tortured, warning other hunters not to go to that island entrance.
So much so that no hunters came here before dawn.
"Boyfriend, they're gone." Seeing the figures gradually disappear into the distance, Li Mo couldn't help but reach out and put her arm around Yin Xiu's waist, leaning close to him and whispering, "Boyfriend, did I help you?"
He clearly believed that he had worked hard for his boyfriend for another minute and should be praised and rewarded by his boyfriend, but Yin Xiu expressionlessly took off his dull mask and stared straight at Li Mo.
"Next time you play a victim, don't let the tentacles get tangled up on you."
Who would be so excited to wrap their tentacles around someone who's been caught? The one who's been wrapped up looks like the one who's trapped. He almost didn't know how to explain himself.
"Hmm... okay." Li Mo didn't quite understand, but he still nodded obediently. Human acting skills were a category that he found quite difficult to grasp. He still had a long way to go in learning how to be a human!
His tall, straight, dark figure stood in front of Yin Xiu. Despite his extremely dangerous aura, he was meek and obedient, his gaze fixed on Yin Xiu. This made him seem both strange and tender, blending with the dangerous aura around him.
It was like a huge, dangerous beast crouching at Yin Xiu's feet, barking when touched, drooling, squinting, with sharp, pointed teeth, but never showing Yin Xiu the slightest bit of danger.
Seeing Li Mo's dark eyes staring intently at him, a gaze he couldn't ignore, Yin Xiu casually turned his head to look at the sea. "There's still some time before morning. Do you want to come with me to find Ya Ya now, or do we stay here for a while and go find Ya Ya and the others after we clear the dungeon later?"
Li Mo leaned her head down on Yin Xiu's shoulder. "I want to spend some time with my boyfriend."
Yin Xiu looked up and thought that Li Mo had helped him a lot in this dungeon. The little tentacles were always sticking to his side, so it didn't seem like a big deal to let him be alone with him for a while now and then.
"Then come with me here to look at the sea, and go back when it gets light?" Yin Xiu asked, glancing around to find a flat place to sit.
As soon as he turned around, Li Mo's fingers hooked around from behind and naturally took his hand.
The cold touch made Yin Xiu pause. Slender fingers passed through his palm, wrapped around his fingers, and held his hand tightly, like the interlocking of human fingers.
Does the monster truly understand the meaning behind doing this?
Yin Xiu didn't say anything, and just led Li Mo to find a place near the coast.
He kept thinking about it the whole time. Normal brothers wouldn't hold hands, hug, and then kiss, right?
It seems that he has been unknowingly led astray by Li Mo's gradual demands. To say that he is completely unmoved by this clingy monster, treating it like a pet, doesn't seem quite right.
Yin Xiu looked out at the sea and began to contemplate life.
Li Mo sat next to her boyfriend, holding his hand and hugging and nuzzling him.
Lost in the affection emanating from Li Mo, Yin Xiu pondered how he had unknowingly fallen into the monster's trap. How had things come to this?
At first, she simply trusted him, nothing more. Although there weren't many people he could trust, but...
"What's the difference between you and Ye Tianxuan?" Yin Xiu asked, slightly puzzled.
They should have remained friends under normal circumstances, and Ye Tianxuan and he had a good relationship. He trusted Ye Tianxuan, but it never turned out like this.
"Hmm?" Li Mo was a little confused by her boyfriend's sudden question.
"Never mind..." Yin Xiu shook his head, not expecting the monster to figure anything out on its own. He simply lowered his eyes and stared at the shimmering sea. "So now, I only have Ye Tianxuan as a friend, right?"
He has very few people around him, and if he were to choose one of the people he trusts as a potential boyfriend, then Ye Tianxuan would be his only friend.
"He's my only friend, and I can't afford to lose anything else," he murmured to himself.
Li Mo couldn't understand Yin Xiu's thoughts, but she heard her boyfriend muttering that he only had Ye Tianxuan as a friend.
As expected, the previous tree-hugging was all fake. He can't even be considered his boyfriend's friend anymore. They've only met for three days, and his boyfriend's love for him is like ocean waves, sometimes crashing in and sometimes receding.
As expected, she remains as indifferent as she has been three years since the divorce.
But Li Mo still hooked her finger around Yin Xiu's and stared at him seriously, saying, "Your boyfriend is me."
He knew that humans have many relationships with companions to complete a puzzle in their lives, and he wanted to be the most important and indispensable piece in his boyfriend's life. If someone like his boyfriend, with few relationships, couldn't bear to lose any piece of the puzzle, he would help his boyfriend to hold onto what he didn't want to lose.
As long as her boyfriend doesn't abandon her, she'll be the happiest monster.
Faced with someone openly showering him with affection, Yin Xiu didn't know how to respond. He lowered his head, gave a soft reply, and concealed the turbulent emotions floating in his eyes.
In that instant, even the most monstrous creatures would fail to recognize that this was once an extremely cold and emotionless god of death.
From a sixteen-year-old who abandoned some emotions and life and death, he gradually transformed into a mature and stable person, more like a normal person. His twisted life was gradually steered back on track in such an extremely dangerous place as a dungeon, because he encountered people who were about to die, strange creatures, and monsters.
The place that claimed countless lives gave him a new lease on life.
A night breeze blew across the island, the sea shimmered, and the shadows of the trees swayed. The silhouettes of two people, both in dark, sat there quietly, seemingly serene and beautiful, yet carrying a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.
Not far behind them, in the weeds, a little girl was hugging a rabbit doll, muttering angrily to herself. Zhong Mu pressed her head down, afraid of disturbing her.
Please, he only brought Ya Ya here because she kept making a fuss about wanting to see her brother. Who knew they would stumble upon the big boss having a late-night rendezvous with another big boss!
He really has to keep Ya Ya from going out and causing trouble, otherwise the boss's monster roommate will assassinate him!!!
You'll definitely hold a grudge!
