The Gambler's End (Continued)

To think that a Yelan could be turned into this state is hopeless.

"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned."

After Feixiao released Yelan still shamelessly came closer.

"No matter how thick-skinned you are, they're coming back." Bai rolled her eyes. "Do you believe that Qingque has already lost everything?"

"..." Yelan for a moment, then remained silent. "Is it too late for me to take my medicine now?"

Yelan took out a small bottle.

Judging from its appearance, it should be the Elixir of Love made by Ruan Mei.

... It seemed to be hidden in a hidden compartment, which is why Liu Bai, who had no experience in body searches, couldn't find it.

"... You've gotten involved with Ruan Mei?"

"What talk of hooking up? I went in and got it myself." Yelan shrugged.

If someone like Ruan Mei went there, they probably wouldn't even acknowledge her.

"However, her current lab belongs to Liyue. I just scouted the location a bit and got it."

"It's been confiscated. I'll have the lab increase security afterwards."

Liu Bai's face darkened. Although he could understand the situation, he was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with the security measures there.

(Hmm... is it that Ruan Mei?) Illusion Moon seemed somewhat surprised.

(What? You want a sip? That's good stuff.)

(This tone doesn't sound like a good thing. Illusion Moon chuckled. (Besides, do you want Suiyang Race to eat?)

Although Illusion Moon was slightly dissatisfied with putting Suiyang Race and Wubbaboo in the same category, this also pointed out the essence of Suiyang Race.

A spirit.

(What if I drink it myself?)

(Generally speaking, I haven't completely possessed you yet, so it's useless. At worst, I can just leave your body. Even if I have possessed you, I can withdraw once I realize something is wrong.)

If Xiao Suiyang Race encounters something like Mara-Struck, he might get trapped inside the host's body and unable to get out.

But Suiyang Race as her can always escape if she's willing to cut her losses.

This is also why Illusion Moon isn't afraid of other people.

Even if she were to be ganged up on, only Acheron posed a significant threat to her. Without a clone in her current state, she might not even have a chance to sever her wrist before being killed if she wasn't careful.

Forget about the others.

In her opinion, Feixiao was just so-so. The Seven Arbiter-Generals were still giving him face. After all, Celenova had fought against the three Xianzhou. Although it wasn't a fight to the death, he didn't achieve any significant results, which speaks volumes.

You know, the Xianzhou's nemesis, the Wingweavers, had their home planet destroyed after being targeted by Celenova. What Feather Emperor? A suspected Emanator of Abundance, huh? Come and clash with our Antimatter Legion!

After destroying the home of the person, Celenova chased after the Wingweavers for hundreds of years, and even tried to forcibly requisition Zhuming Xianzhou to draw Wingweavers together with her.

They ruthlessly reduced a once- Denizens of Abundance, which had been a mortal enemy of the Xianzhou since the ancient times, to a mercenary race wandering the universe.

Thus, Celenova did not gain any advantage over the Xianzhou —if there were any opportunity, Celenova would definitely not mind turning a skirmish into a full-scale war—so now, as a colleague, Illusion Moon would give Feixiao face no matter what.

But what about Hanya and Xueyi... never mind, they're just ants.

The Genius Society members didn't care much. Even in space, they would dare to fight back directly against the Antimatter Legion. Now, without any backing or preparation, they wanted to fight head-on... Forget it, geniuses aren't meant to fill in the gaps.

What kind of brain would allow a genius to fight the Lord of Destruction in the Octagonal Cage? Even if he brought a group of people, it wouldn't make any sense.

Basically, in terms of current ranking, Illusion Moon is lower than Acheron. Although Acheron is Annihilation Gang, whether he can still be a Commander is Emanator. However, being able to maintain his self-identity to this extent after self-destruction is at least comparable to being Emanator.

When everyone else was losing levels, this person lost the least. They didn't get much from the void; they earned it all through their own abilities.

Although Acheron's level is decreasing due to the reduction in self-destruction... to be honest, Illusion Moon doesn't want to think about what Annihilation Gang is obviously at the Emanator level would become after completely emerging from the self-destruction state.

After all, changing jobs is not as simple as changing companies. Illusion Moon's view of Acheron is the kind that is terrifying to think about.

In a sense, Acheron is now undertaking a great undertaking of "facing the Star Gods head-on".

—Well, it's all thanks to Illusion Moon not knowing that Acheron's constant pursuit of nothingness was for the purpose of drawing his sword against the Star God, otherwise he would definitely think that the two of them were crazy.

Illusion Moon is now afraid that Acheron will jump out and immediately open a new path.

Moreover, if Huanlong could really switch jobs or get rid of the situation, Illusion Moon have done so himself...

Both Illusion Moon and Feixiao are legitimate Emanator. Their problem lies in their foundation. As Emanator, Illusion Moon, who is not fully developed, would likely be torn apart if he were to fight Feixiao head-on. However, if neither of Emanator, then Illusion Moon as a whole is likely to be at least at the level of Da Suiyang Race.

Even if you throw a being like Da Suiyang Race into the universe, it can roam freely on many maps. Feixiao doesn't have Spiritward Flier Yellow, and doesn't seem like it's easy for Illusion Moon to defeat him.

(Ghosts are so convenient.)

Liu Bai sighed.

But I still decided to give it a try if I had the chance.

Whether there are dates or not, play three rounds.

You'd better put that dangerous idea away.

Although Illusion Moon looked down on Liu Bai, he was not really interested in trying to create something by a genius.

However, despite saying it, Illusion Moon didn't really take it to heart.

After all, things are different here than before, where I was constantly worried about "going out."

"What, Yelan, are you planning to jump right into Rita and Kafka's faces?"

"Can't you keep a mistress in a golden house?" Yelan continued to flirt with him.

But then, Yelan realized something was wrong.

"Hey! Acheron! Don't touch my things! You, a big shot, are stealing from me? Have you no shame?!"

Yelan complained loudly.

Before she knew it, Acheron had already started measuring the rope against himself.

Acheron glanced at Yelan, then ignored her, put the rope beside him, and continued to casually rummage through things.

"Kafka... it really is that Stellaron Hunters, she's back." Illusion Moon seemed to sense something and floated out, saying, "Also..."

Illusion Moon suddenly smiled—a smile full of amusement.

I also glanced at Feixiao.

Feixiao: "?"

The slightly malicious, mocking gaze left Feixiao somewhat bewildered.

Soon, footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Good evening.

Kafka and Rita opened the door and greeted everyone inside.

Kafka seemed to be holding something in her hand.

"Come on, little puppy, wipe your hands clean before you get into bed."

Kafka took out a tissue and bent down.

Feixiao also realized something at this moment, and his face turned a little pale.

Soon, Liu Bai saw what Kafka was holding.

"—Blue Qingque?"

Feixiao looked at the "puppy" that Kafka had dragged onto the bed and roared angrily.

She didn't know Qingque before, but Xueyi kindly introduced her to these few "fellow villagers".

"Are you Stellaron Hunters really this lawless?"

The sight of Qingque losing her dignity infuriated Feixiao.

Who gave you Stellaron Hunters the audacity to slap our Xianzhou in the face?

Or in front of me, the Xianzhou General?

A series of possible reasons for provocation flashed through Feixiao's mind—but no matter what, doing this in front of her would be a slap in the face to their Xianzhou.

"She gambled it all away."

Kafka rubbed Qingque's eyes and mouth, which were covered, completely unaffected by Feixiao's imposing aura, and lightly uttered these words.

Feixiao paused for a moment, then decisively withdrew the attack stance he had just displayed.

Okay, gambling addicts still don't deserve sympathy.

Especially for gambling addicts who have lost so much.

"But no matter what... this kind of behavior that treats people like animals is still not something to be encouraged."

Feixiao's tone was awkward.

As for whether the infamous Stellaron Hunters set a trap for Qingque... well, it doesn't matter anymore.

If Kafka uses force, we have to talk about it, even if Liu Bai tries to stop her.

But gambling... even if you fall into a trap, it's filled with a feeling of "you deserve it."

No matter how you look at it, Qingque feels like she's been tricked today.

That's good, consider it a way to quit gambling.

Xueyi had just told her that this fortune teller from Luofu Divination Commission was very addicted to cards.

"By the way, how much did Qingque lose?"

"Hmm... if we're talking about purchasing power in Credits, it'd be around a million Credits, right?"

Feixiao couldn't tell whether Kafka was telling the truth or not.

But this number makes Qingque seem even more deserving of the blame.

A million isn't much, but for a fortune teller like you to owe so much... haha.

Be grateful for the lifespan of the Xianzhou native; if they were short- Outsiders, most of their lives would be wasted.

"It just so happens that I was also thinking of adopting a pet, so Miss Qingque and I hit it off immediately."

Kafka stroked Qingque's head, behaving like a proper dog lover.

"I tried my best to stop it," Rita said immediately when she saw Liu Bai's gaze drift towards her.

Then Liu Bai rolled her eyes.

Bullshit, he doesn't believe it at all.

This game was played by Rita and Kafka together.

Liu Bai could even think of ways to make Qingque go crazy with just Words of Power from Kafka.

Rita will provide some more technical support... hehe.

But... as I said before, gamblers don't deserve sympathy.

It also helps you remember things better.

Rita aside, the fact that Qingque dared to play cards with someone like Kafka shows that, if Qingque wasn't truly capable, one should now question Qingque intelligence.

"Let Qingque guard the gate for you, Boss, today. Qingque must be very happy too."

Kafka, with a smile on her face, hung the rope on the coat hook by the door, completely ignoring Qingque's mumbled words.

Then, Kafka glanced at Illusion Moon, subtly shifting her gaze to Yelan.

"By the way, Miss Yelan, what brings you here? Is there something you need to report to the Boss?"

"I'm here to guard the door for Liu Bai!"

Yelan fully demonstrated what it means to be shameless.

She'll just be a dog if she wants to be; she was planning to cosplay as a horse today anyway.

"One gatekeeper is enough. It's so late, Miss Yelan, you should go back now."

Rita, as the head maid, also issued an order to leave.

You like to cheat, don't you?
