I don't know if kissing makes any sense to monsters, but Li Mo would probably like it.
Li Mo's body was cold, while Yin Xiu was warm. He seemed to crave that warmth and became increasingly demanding.
In the deep-sea instance, he felt excited because Yin Xiu had touched the inside of his exposed body. If that was a behavior that monsters liked, then kissing would also be a liked action for monsters, as both were ways of exploring the other's insides.
Yin Xiu raised his hand and pushed Li Mo's chin away, letting out a slightly breathless sigh, "Alright, the reward is over."
Li Mo slumped his shoulders slightly, looking somewhat unsatisfied. "Okay."
She still listens to her boyfriend. She doesn't know what harm she might cause him because of racial differences, so she simply hands over all the control to him and does whatever he says, thinking that this must be right.
The town is celebrating Boss Ye's return, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, everyone will have a group meal today.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, they chose to have breakfast together in the morning so that they would have the energy to deal with any unexpected situations. Some people would go to inspect the situation, while others would be responsible for preparing the meals.
Although they were still in a dangerous environment, everyone temporarily put aside their tension to welcome Boss Ye's return, which was a way for them to find joy in their hardship.
So after Yin Xiu finished packing, he took Li Mo out.
On his way to the designated alley, Yin Xiu encountered Zhong Mu and Mu He.
The man with snow-white hair and wearing a gray-blue Chinese-style long gown was quite eye-catching in this small town, so when he stood with Zhong Mu, the two of them could be spotted at a glance in the crowd.
"Doctor, you usually have the little paper doll supporting you. What if you go out like this without anyone to hold your hand? You don't have a cane either. Shall I get you a cane?" Zhong Mu was very enthusiastic about this strange creature. It was good-looking and kind. Zhong Mu's kindness was overflowing. He paid special attention to Mu He's situation.
"I don't need a cane. I usually stay in familiar places and can walk without one. It's just that it's my first time in a small town, so I'm a little unsteady on my feet, but I'll get used to it soon." Mu He smiled, her face radiating a gentle warmth that made passersby feel comfortable.
It's like being caressed by a clean and pure floral fragrance, and you unconsciously develop a liking for this person.
"You can't keep stumbling around until you're familiar with this place, can you? The little paper doll isn't here, so I'll hold your hand." Zhong Mu's hand-holding was natural and genuine. His concern and care for Mu He, emanating from the bottom of his heart, was also pure.
Mu He lowered his head, a smile playing on his lips, and said nothing as Zhong Mu led him away by the hand.
He was blind, a kind-hearted blind man, but there weren't many players who were kind to him. Zhong Mu was one of the few players who showed him pure kindness. It was definitely not that he didn't like him. No one would dislike someone who was genuinely kind to them; otherwise, they wouldn't have so naturally placed their heart on him.
Zhong Mu's personality is too easy to understand. He is the kind of person who clearly distinguishes between good and evil. As long as he believes that you are a good person to him, he will treat you with all his heart.
Simple, clean, and easy to fool.
After arriving at the designated gathering place for the players in the town, Yin Xiu went inside.
The players in the town happily gathered to welcome Yin Xiu, while the players in the dungeon huddled in a corner in fear, not daring to approach.
At first, the town's players were quite wary of Li Mo because they were unfamiliar with him and didn't know how to get along with monsters, fearing that they might offend him.
They then discovered that Li Mo was clinging to Yin Xiu's side, never leaving him, as if an invisible rope was binding him. He was unusually quiet and clingy, so they felt relieved.
After the players in the town were chatting with Yin Xiu about their admiration, worship, and the flower-growing techniques they had developed, someone secretly tugged at Li Mo's sleeve and, taking advantage of Yin Xiu's inattention, led Li Mo to a corner and handed him a book.
"Ahem... I heard that you learn all your knowledge by reading books. There are not many books in this dungeon, and even fewer that you can refer to. When the town was still normal, I bought a book from the town store. Ahem... well... I feel like you might need it in the future."
As he spoke, the player whispered furtively to Li Mo, "Don't worry, there are plenty of people in the town who support you and Brother Xiu! There are quite a few in the town! You can come find me again if you need anything."
The other person patted Li Mo's shoulder with a confident look. Perhaps because he had only taken a small sip, he was slightly tipsy and had become bolder. He gave Li Mo a final word of advice.
"Remember not to tell Brother Xiu that we gave it to you, and don't let Brother Xiu find out about this book. Just read it secretly and hide it away. It will be very useful to you."
After giving the book, the player happily ran off to find his companions.
Li Mo silently held the book in his hand. Taking advantage of the fact that Yin Xiu was surrounded by players from the town, he stood in the corner, hid the book first, and then calmly returned to Yin Xiu's side.
Then the group of players sat there whispering, glancing at Zhong Mu and then at Mu He, but in the end they didn't go over.
The room was lively for a while, then the shift changers came over, and the group went out to stand guard. When the patrol returned, they gave Yin Xiu a warm welcome once again.
Yin Xiu sat in the crowd and nodded perfunctorily in response.
Until Ye Tianxuan appeared.
"It's quite lively here. You said you'd welcome me, but you didn't even wait for me?" Ye Tianxuan pushed the door open with a smile.
Everyone was excitedly preparing to go and greet them, but after taking just one step, they immediately stopped in their tracks.
Ye Tianxuan did arrive, but he was carrying something unusual with him.
It's a black cat.
Ye Tianxuan ruthlessly grabbed the base of its tail and lifted it up, its four legs flapping in the air, its claws outstretched.
The black cat bared its teeth and glared at the people in the room, but when Ye Tianxuan lifted it by the tail, it quieted down again.
"Boss Ye... what is that...?" The people in the town didn't know about the connection between the black cat and Ye Tianxuan. They only remembered that the people in the town never approached the black cat. The black cat was a dangerous existence to them. This was also the first time they had seen Ye Tianxuan appear carrying a cat.
"Ah, this one." Ye Tianxuan smiled and picked up the black cat in his hand. "I caught it this morning. It was a cat that was squatting at my door. I thought it... didn't look like a good thing, so I caught it to give everyone an extra treat."
The town's players shuddered, knowing full well that Boss Ye was joking, but the fact that he could say it with a smile clearly meant that Boss Ye didn't like this cat.
Yin Xiu stared at the black cat thoughtfully, while Li Mo narrowed his eyes, exuding vigilance.
As expected, it's here.
If the black cat appears here... then Lady Ye must have already arrived in town, right?
On one side of the town's edge, the town's players, who had just had a few drinks and were now on their way to change shifts, began to patrol the entire town.
As I walked, I suddenly saw a strange figure ahead.
A dirty and emaciated girl stood silently at the base of the statue in the square, gazing at the statue pillar.
"Hey! Who are you? A dungeon player? What are you still standing here for?" someone asked as they approached.
The unfamiliar girl turned around, smiled, and pursed her lips. "Excuse me, I'm lost. Could you tell me where Yin Xiu is?"
The patrolling town player carefully examined the person in front of him. "I've never seen you before. Guan Xiu's name is Yin Xiu... You're a dungeon player, right? You look quite young."
The girl smiled innocently. "My name is Ye Jia. Can you take me to find Yin Xiu?"
