Chapter 89

The Young Eunuch wore a puzzled expression. “Your Majesty Youyou is right there in the Bedchamber. I just saw her.”

What?!

Tao Jinran immediately rushed toward the Bedchamber.

Wang Yuanyou followed closely behind.

The two of them hurried back, one after the other.

“Youyou, where did you go just now? I looked everywhere for you.”

As soon as Tao Jinran entered the room, she saw Yun Youyou sitting in front of the dressing mirror with her back turned.

The Rhombus-patterned Bronze Mirror reflected half of Yun Youyou’s expressionless face.

She combed her hair unhurriedly, showing no intention of acknowledging Tao Jinran at all.

Tao Jinran felt that something was slightly off, and a sense of dread began to crawl up her spine.

This wasn’t the usual Youyou!

Tao Jinran slowly took a few steps forward and asked cautiously, “Youyou… what’s wrong today? Are you in a bad mood?”

Yun Youyou didn’t speak.

A Tentacle suddenly shot out from behind her, tightly coiling around Tao Jinran’s neck.

Tao Jinran clawed desperately at the Tentacle around her throat, her entire face turning a congested red.

The Tentacle lifted her bodily into the air before suddenly letting go.

Tao Jinran fell heavily to the floor.

Clutching her neck, she scrambled out of the room in a panic.

She nearly knocked Wang Yuanyou over.

“Why are you running so fast? Is there a ghost chasing you in there or something?”

Tao Jinran croaked in a raspy voice, “There really is a ghost in there!”

Hearing her voice, Wang Yuanyou remarked in surprise, “You’re quite trendy, aren’t you? Giving yourself a husky, smokey voice.”

Tao Jinran: …

Speechless, she showed Wang Yuanyou the red, swollen strangulation marks on her neck.

“You think I’m as bored as you are? Something is wrong with Youyou today. I think it’s better if you don’t go in for now.”

Wang Yuanyou frowned as he scrutinized the marks.

“You mean to say Yun Youyou tried to strangle you to death?”

Tao Jinran nodded. “Based on the facts, yes, that’s exactly what happened.”

Wang Yuanyou let out three loud laughs.

“Hahahaha… How could our Your Majesty Youyou possibly do something like that? It must be your imagination.”

How could Yun Youyou take the initiative to attack a Player?

In Wang Yuanyou’s eyes, Yun Youyou was no different from a teammate.

Tao Jinran threw up her hands helplessly. “I don’t want to believe it either, but the evidence is right in front of me.”

No matter what Tao Jinran said, Wang Yuanyou refused to believe her.

He even wanted to go in and investigate for himself.

In the end, Tao Jinran had to drag him away by force.

“Just stop. If you want to see her, wait until tomorrow. And you’d better bring that ‘good brother’ of yours along; after all, you’re too weak.”

Wang Yuanyou remained dismissive.

The pitch-black night soon arrived.

The candles in the room had all been extinguished.

Wang Yuanyou lay comfortably in bed, occasionally scratching his backside or an itch.

Faint moonlight filtered through the window screens into the room.

In a daze, Wang Yuanyou felt a dark shadow standing beside him.

Who could it be this late?

Wang Yuanyou squinted his eyes, using the hazy moonlight to see the visitor clearly.

“Oh, it’s you, Youyou. What do you need from me so late at night?”

Yun Youyou silently raised both her hands.

Wang Yuanyou: ???

“Ah!”

Before Wang Yuanyou could react, Yun Youyou’s hands clamped firmly around his throat.

Holy crap!

Everything Tao Jinran said was true!

Under the cover of night, Yun Youyou’s exquisite and beautiful features appeared somewhat distorted and sinister.

Wang Yuanyou kicked his legs wildly on the bed.

What on earth was going on?

Yun Youyou’s immense strength made it impossible for him to break free.
In an instant, Wang Yuanyou lost consciousness.

Yun Youyou released her grip and cast a cold, disdainful glance at him.

When Wang Yuanyou woke up again, he found himself in a strange place.

There were piles of corpses, wriggling maggots, and a pool filled with blood.

Where on earth was he?

Wang Yuanyou’s hands and feet were tied tightly, and a cloth was stuffed into his mouth.

He looked up at the sky in despair.

He was probably going to die here today!

“Mmph! Mmph!”

A familiar voice came from beside him.

Wang Yuanyou quickly turned his head to look.

It was actually Tao Jinran.

She had also been tied up like a festive zongzi and thrown into the corner, staring at Wang Yuanyou with equal shock.

The two of them managed to communicate through their eyes.

“You were kidnapped too?”

“That’s right, I was kidnapped too.”

The two looked at each other silently and let out a heavy sigh at the same time.

They didn’t even know if they would make it out of this Instance alive.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the two of them hurriedly tried to help each other escape.

On the other side, Yun Youyou walked toward the other palaces under the cover of night.

Ji Lin had been maintaining a state of light sleep throughout the Game.

When the sound of footsteps echoed outside the hall, he had already opened his eyes on the bed.

His sharp, cold gaze swept toward the entrance of the Bedchamber.

*Creak!*

The door was pushed open.

A graceful figure stepped inside, bathed in the moonlight.

Yun Youyou was dressed in a moon-white ruqun. The thin fabric fully revealed her curvaceous figure, and her fair skin looked like a soft, white snow-ball under the moonlight.

Seeing that the person who entered was Yun Youyou, Ji Lin still did not lower his guard.

“It’s so late. What are you doing here?”

Ji Lin’s cold voice carried a hint of hoarseness from having just woken up.

Yun Youyou didn’t speak. Holding a pillow, she naturally sat down on the edge of Ji Lin’s bed.

The distance between them was closer than it had ever been.

Ji Lin could even smell the faint scent of pear blossoms on her, exactly the same as the scent in Yun Youyou’s Bedchamber.

“I can’t sleep. I want to sleep by your side.”

Yun Youyou’s long, curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her eyes held a touch of seduction that was a far cry from her usual self.

Ji Lin sized her up impassively for a moment.

After a while, he said indifferently, “Fine.”

Ji Lin stood up to make room.

Once Yun Youyou lay down on the inner side, he lay down flat on the outer side.

Fortunately, the canopy bed was large enough to accommodate five people with room to spare.

Ji Lin took another brocade quilt out of the cabinet.

The two of them lay on the bed, minding their own business.

In the darkness, Yun Youyou silently glanced at Ji Lin.

She hadn’t expected him to be so easy to talk to.

The night grew deeper.

The breathing of both individuals gradually became steady and slow.

Yun Youyou opened her eyes soundlessly and lunged at Ji Lin with a cold sneer.

This man was far too naive!

However, before her hand could even touch Ji Lin, it was violently snapped.

Ji Lin had opened his eyes in the darkness long ago.

His deep eyes were clear and calm.

Only then did Yun Youyou realize she had been played.

Damned man!

He was too cunning!

Yun Youyou quickly rolled over and tried to run outside, her two broken hands hanging limply at her sides.

However, before she could even run out of the hall door, Ji Lin swung his sword from behind and took her head.

A flash of indignation crossed her face.

In the next second, her round head went rolling across the floor.

Her graceful body followed, collapsing onto the ground and transforming into a piece of disgusting, rotting meat.

Ji Lin didn’t even spare it a glance as he carried his sword and walked toward Yun Youyou’s Bedchamber.
