Seeing Octopus Lady agree, Lu Li did not climb down from the bronze table.

He simply sat cross-legged beside Evelina and began recounting his experiences at an unhurried pace.

He started with escaping the Chen Family's attempt to kill him and joining the Overlord Army under a false identity.

Then came blowing up the demon nest in Wailing Gorge and entering the Demon Domain.

Finally, he broke through the Ancient Basin and successfully cleared the Path of Pain.

Naturally, Lu Li did not reveal everything in full detail.

He deliberately concealed several crucial details concerning his encounters with gods, giving Octopus Lady only a general account.

After all, he only needed to prove that he was a legitimate member of the Overlord Army.

As for Evelina, once Octopus Lady learned that she was Lu Li's servant and examined the relevant Servant Contract, she was completely free from the threat of death.

By the time Lu Li reached the latter half of his account, the overly relaxed succubus lady was practically ready to munch on popcorn or some other snack to pass the time.

"In short, that's the situation." After finishing his account, Lu Li spread his hands. "The reason I suddenly appeared here was that I was afraid that if I left the Ancient Basin directly, I'd be besieged by demons. Plus, I got lucky and happened to run into the Blue-clad Trader."

By then, Octopus Lady had leaned back at the head of the bronze table. Listening to the young man, she naturally picked up the thread: "So, in order to escape your predicament, and fearing that the demons would catch up if you chose somewhere too close, you decided to go all out and set the Council Royal Court on Overlord Star as the endpoint of your escape?"
