This was the first time she had heard praise about the infection of the Hollow Ghost from someone else’s mouth.

The white-haired girl’s dazed gaze focused as she looked at the other party’s black eyes with a complicated expression, wanting to see if he was lying.

What she saw was a deep and natural gaze.

He was serious. He was not lying, deceiving her, or hiding his disgust.

The young woman with white hair suddenly could not speak. She was filled with a complicated feeling of being recognized and praised for her beauty.

Did the man in front of her not know that he was her prey and that she was a villain?

After the conversation ended, Nidong brought them back to the stockade. She locked Su Chen and Lotte together and purposely locked Yousi in another place.

Su Chen definitely would not be locked up like this willingly. He had already used his pocket knife to cut themselves free from the bindings and was there just to observe the situation since they were already inside the enemy’s territory. It was better to break through from the inside and find out where Yousi was.

One day, Su Chen suddenly sensed that there was a lot of activity outside. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. Then, two bandit children walked in and led them to another room.

It was a room that was different from the one they were imprisoned in. It was a relatively luxurious room. When he opened the door, he saw Yousi.

“Are you guys okay?” Yousi immediately asked when he saw Su Chen and Lotte.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Su Chen’s puzzled expression, Yousi immediately explained, “That woman, I don’t know what went wrong. When she came back that day, she said that she wanted to marry me, so I went along with her plan.”

This explanation made Su Chen and Lotte even more surprised. Lotte immediately stomped his feet.

“Marry? That’s why it’s so lively. So, you want to marry that white-haired witch?”

“Otherwise, how else are we going to find a suitable opportunity to break out? I think you’ve all seen how tight the defenses are. This move is called a male beauty trap. I can only sacrifice myself and put on a show to create an opportunity for everyone.”

Although this was a joke from Yousi, it was indeed true. During this period of time, Su Chen could sneak out at night to find a weakness that they could use to break through from the inside.

Usually, every point was well-defended and there was no way to find a breakthrough. Now, however, because there were lights and decorations everywhere, it was easy for mistakes to appear.

“I’ve already come up with a plan. The soldiers we brought are locked in a room fifty meters away. I’ve already unlocked the door. When we hold the ceremony, head over there and release our people first. Then, you’ll surround them from the outside. As for me, I’ll find a way to escape.”

After listening to Yousi’s words, Su Chen tacitly agreed to the plan. Soon, it was time to hold the ceremony the next night.

A beam of light shone at the door, and a slender jade foot entered the hall. Wearing black high-heeled shoes, they emitted a sparkling white light. Everyone could not help but take a deep breath.

Her shoulders were half exposed, and long gemstone earrings of the same color moved slowly with her light lotus steps, making her skin look like it was congealed. Her hair was scattered behind her, and a small strand of hair was hanging by her ear with purple lace threads. She wore a checkered lace gown and her fair wrist was covered with a beautiful bracelet. She wore a silver ring on her little finger without any decorations. All the accessories were so luxurious and exquisite, but no one felt that it was unnecessary or cumbersome. It was as if she should have been dressed like this all this while.

She slowly walked to the center of the hall. There was no doubt that she was very beautiful. So, when Yousi saw her walking toward him, he was stunned for a moment.

“How is it? Am I beautiful today?” Nidong blinked her eyes playfully as she asked Yousi. Yousi did not say anything.

“What’s wrong? After you and I get married, I won’t mistreat you. I’ll also let your friends go. As long as they don’t do anything to the stockade because this stockade’s very important to me. To you, we may be bandits, but to me, this is my home. My family’s all around me. They accept me, so I can’t let anyone hurt this place.”

“Can’t you just take them and leave this place?”

She did not know why he would ask such a question out of the blue.

“Leave this place? Then where can I go…? In the real world, because of my congenital inheritance, I’m looked down upon by others. When I came to the game world, I was still unable to change these things. I was treated like an alien. Some players even thought I was some monster. Where can I go like this? There are only these cute children. They’re homeless and they don’t fear me. We hug each other for warmth, and now that we’re married, besides them, I have you.”

After hearing all this, Yousi actually began to feel a sense of pity.

“Then, what if I take you with me?”

Just as he said this and before Nidong could answer, there was a commotion outside the door.

A large group of bandits scattered in all directions in the stockade, fleeing toward the back of the mountain. Su Chen had already brought people to ambush them. There were dozens of minions that did not escape the net.

Lotte ordered the henchmen to be escorted to the courtyard of the stockade where all the bandits were gathered.

After checking, there was almost no one left in the stockade that could fight. A few bandits who wanted to escape from both sides were also captured by the ambush team. It seemed that the stockade had been surrounded.

Su Chen and the others pushed open the hall and rushed in. Yousi and Nidong were standing face to face, but there was no emotion in her eyes.

Su Chen walked over and said, “Miss Nidong, you’re surrounded in the stronghold.”

Su Chen hoped that Nidong would understand the current situation and follow him obediently. However, she did not say anything. She just smiled and tore her skirt, making it shorter.

“Is this how you wanted me to leave with you? If that’s the case, I don’t want to and I won’t. However, if you let the people in my stronghold go, I’ll agree to all your requests.”

Yousi said, “Then, you can take your people and leave. Don’t appear in Marhaz anymore.”

She did not expect that Yousi would say such a thing. He just smiled and disappeared with the entire stronghold in an instant. It was as if there was no proof of their existence other than this stronghold.

At this time, Lotte said anxiously, “What should we do now? Didn’t we promise Marhaz we’d complete the mission?”

Su Chen was very calm. “But he didn’t say what exactly we were supposed to do when exterminating them. If they completely disappeared from Marhaz, it should be considered as completing the mission..”
