Distinguished Guest

Ailin sent another new message.

【Ai Mi Li】: Well, the person is gone now. I suppose that counts as getting rid of a menace to society, right?

It would be strange if the person were still alive.

But speaking of getting rid of a menace to society...

There is no need to hide behind that kind of banner. Cheng Shuili had never denied that she was doing it for herself.

Cheng Shuili shrugged and asked Ailin to send the message into their small group chat. Fearing that the others might miss it, she specifically tagged them one by one, asking them to reply once they had received it.

Qi Wanyi even remarked that it felt like a dream of her past life, clocking in for work.

It was just a pity that there wasn't much time left now, so this news couldn't be used to its full potential.

When only one minute remained on the countdown, Chen Qingshan suddenly replied.

【Qingshan Trek】: Of course I can, but I haven't decided what I want yet.

Cheng Shuili's brows twitched. Isn't this a trade handed to her on a silver platter?

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Help me repair my vehicle after leaving the dungeon, and I will tell you the method to clear it right now. How about that?

It was a pity that time was so short; they could only make a verbal agreement.

The other party wasn't stupid enough to lament the Crow's trust in him at this juncture, and he was well aware that there wasn't much time left.

【Qingshan Trek】: Of course!

Cheng Shuili immediately copied and sent the message over.

Chen Qingshan read it at a glance and shoved the compressed biscuit into his chest pocket the very next second the countdown hit zero.

A blur passed before all the players' eyes, and they vanished from their vehicles into thin air.

When Cheng Shuili opened her eyes, she was already standing in the center of a palace paved with a scarlet carpet.

Directly in front of her sat a long table. The stench of rotting filth rushed toward her, and three wolf-headed beastmen with bristling manes sat at the long table, showing no signs of disgust.

Their claws were stained with minced meat, and they tapped their silver table knives rhythmically.

This scene could actually be considered pleasing to the eye, if it were merely a painting.

Of course, the reason Cheng Shuili said that was because the image had no scent. She bent over and could not help but retch silently.

Only then did the three wolf-headed beastmen seem to notice her presence.

"Another dish has arrived."

The leader's Adam's apple bobbed; he was clearly already craving it.

"Yes... and it is a rare piece of meat, too."

The beastman on the left chimed in.

"I want the most tender piece of meat on her body. Don't you dare fight me for it."

The beastman on the right displayed a very strong sense of possessiveness.

As for the protagonist of this competition—

Cheng Shuili: "..."

She slowly straightened her back, but her brows remained tightly furrowed.

What on earth were these guys eating? This hellhole smelled worse than a public restroom! How could they even bring themselves to eat it?

Cheng Shuili hadn't even felt like vomiting when she saw the "Humus Brood Mother," but now, she truly couldn't stand it.

The pervasive stench was violently assaulting Cheng Shuili's sense of smell.

A bottle of water appeared in Cheng Shuili's hand out of thin air. She twisted the cap off with a frown, took a slow, deliberate sip, and rinsed her mouth while tilting her head back. Her composed demeanor made it seem as if she were in her vehicle's bathroom rather than inside a dungeon.

The three wolf-headed beastmen, who had been eyeing her covetously, felt insulted and stood up simultaneously, brimming with aggression.

Three pairs of scarlet eyes stared fixedly at Cheng Shuili, as if they were already considering where to begin their meal.

The leader raised an eyebrow slightly. Seeing that Cheng Shuili remained unmoved, he couldn't help but tilt his head and ask, "You don't think you'll be leaving here alive today, do you?"

Cheng Shuili tightened the cap without a care, stuffed the unfinished mineral water back into the Abyss Ring, and then calmly mimicked the leader's tone to ask back: "Oh?"

If they wanted to fight, then so be it!

She was fairly confident in her own strength, so she silently drew her long blade, gripped the hilt with five fingers, and demanded with an even colder tone: "Am I not getting out?"

She set her stance first, but before truly starting the fight, she still had to use 【Insight】.

Cheng Shuili could be considered very cautious.

But unexpectedly, the expressions of the three wolf-headed beastmen shifted in unison, and the next second, they bowed respectfully toward Cheng Shuili.

"Noble human lady, we were blind and failed to recognize your greatness. If we accidentally offended you, it was absolutely unintentional."

"We were disrespectful earlier, but that was only because we didn't know it was you! Please forgive us!"

"Noble human lady, if you are willing, we can escort you through the upcoming levels."

Cheng Shuili looked at the three beastmen who were now "cringing" before her and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

They certainly didn't have this attitude a moment ago.

They changed so quickly.

Could it be some kind of conspiracy?

Cheng Shuili frowned, and just as she was about to say something, the three beastmen actually went "thump" and knelt down together.

What is going on?!

Cheng Shuili widened her eyes and took a step back, almost instinctively.

"Please, have mercy on us! Let us go! Wuwuwu!"

"I have elderly parents and young children to support! I have two newborns at home waiting to be fed! I really cannot die here!"

"Let us go! We are willing to offer all our treasures to you!"

"We really couldn't survive anymore, which is why we came out to do this! Our families don't even know! Spare our lives!"

"Spare our lives! You are a person of great magnanimity—"

"Stop." Cheng Shuili called out to the three beastmen who were still begging incessantly.

This is absurd.

How could three beastmen possibly make so much noise?

Couldn't they speak one at a time?

With so many voices mixed together, if Cheng Shuili hadn't been patient, who would have been able to understand what they were saying?

She had originally wanted to ask what these words meant; was this also just a job?

But thinking that she was now inside a dungeon, and a racing dungeon at that, she lost the desire to waste breath on these beastmen.

She lifted her head, carrying the noble status they had bestowed upon her to the very end: "Lead the way."

The three wolf-headed beastmen were already scared out of their wits. Hearing this, it was as if they had received some great grace; two beastmen walked at the very front, left and right, while the last one followed cautiously by Cheng Shuili's side.

This practiced manner...

If Cheng Shuili hadn't seen what these three beastmen were like before, she might have even thought they were her own entourage.

The three beastmen surrounded Cheng Shuili as they passed through an exquisitely luxurious archway and arrived in the next European-style palace, where another long table was set.

There were three wolf-headed beastmen sitting here as well, but their attire was clearly not as ornate as the three accompanying Cheng Shuili.

The ornate wolf-headed beastman suddenly put on airs and coughed twice. Seeing the three seated beastmen stand up respectfully, he spoke with satisfaction: "This is a distinguished guest of our wolf race. I will personally escort her to the finish line."
