Theresa Still Hasn't Figured Out What's Going On / This Is Nothing Like the Golden Courtyard!

Xu Qi was a little surprised. So Fu Hua had a set line after all.

He then heard Fu Hua panting for breath as she delivered her lines in a halting, wooden tone: "Ah, you... villain! Once you enter this jungle, you... mustn't think about leaving!

"Your lover has been captured by our Demon King! If you don't want her to be enjoyed, then... then... hurry to the final cave."

Why was this still the standard Dragon Quest template?! Shouldn't I be the hero? How had I become the villain?

Fu Hua looked at Xu Qi disdainfully.

"You're not a villain, but you do have a villain."

Xu Qi: ?

In no time at all, Xu Qi had stuffed Fu Hua full. He rose to his feet feeling refreshed—he had never felt so clear-headed and satisfied as he did tonight.

He then looked toward Aponia, the guide who had been standing quietly to one side the whole time.

"Sister Nya, lead the way, will you? Where should we go next?"

Aponia pressed her palms together.

"To the Demon King's lair, where you will rescue your lover."

Chapter 1018: 1011, Theresa Still Doesn't Know What's Going On

In the gloomy, sinister cavern, a beautiful young girl had been captured by the Demon King. She cried helplessly, hoping her lover would come rescue her, but unfortunately...

"All right, all right, Sister Nya, you don't need to continue. The atmosphere is already more than sufficiently established."

"Oh."

Aponia obediently closed her mouth.

"...If you really want to say it, then go ahead..."

The corners of the nun's lips curved into a smile.

"Actually, there's nothing else that needs saying. I only wanted to remind you that there may be quite a few people in this cavern later."

Xu Qi stopped in his tracks.
