Chapter 0
“Don't worry, it's just speculation."

Zhang Yuanqing spoke to stabilize the morale. He felt that Guan Ya's reasoning was incorrect. The Demon Lord had said to resist the temptation of beauty and the impulse to kill. The latter had already been successfully tested. The Demon Lord's words were not false. According to normal thinking, shouldn't it be men who need to resist beauty when facing a widow?

How could it be relying on female practitioners to trigger the widow's level? So Zhang Yuanqing didn't panic. Guan Ya's speculation was most likely wrong.

"However, this is indeed a good way to verify the trigger conditions." Zhang Yuanqing looked at Shi Guai Chi Ou and said, "Go and bring the Queen back."

This was an opportunity to verify the trigger conditions. If Chi Ou disappeared and the Queen returned, it would mean his judgment was correct. Conversely, Guan Ya's speculation would be correct.

The chubby young man nodded, highly obedient to the captain's instructions, and immediately walked out of the alley.

Three minutes later, neither Chi Ou nor the Queen had returned. Huo De Xingjun said in a deep voice, "Something's wrong. If Ren Zhuanmen is looking for someone, his purpose is clear, and he'll be quick. Three minutes is enough."

If they hadn't returned by now, either Chi Ou hadn't found anyone, or the two of them had encountered an accident together.

Li Li Yuan Shangcao frowned and said, "One of them is a Level 3 Water Ghost, and the other is a Level 2 Earth Monster. Even if they encounter danger, they should have enough ability to resist. It shouldn't be so quiet."

Everyone looked at Zhang Yuanqing, seeking the captain's opinion. "This Yin-Yang Town is full of weirdness. The two of them may not have a chance to resist, just like we turned into cats before we could react," said Li Chunfeng.

"Waiting won't solve anything. Let's go out and look together." The group rushed out of the alley and ran wildly in the direction the Queen and Chi Ou had left. In a dozen or so breaths, they arrived at the riverbank. The river water meandered, and the streets paved with blue bricks were empty and silent.

Chi Ou and the Queen were gone.

Two people, in good condition, had disappeared out of thin air. "Wonderful, we must find them as soon as possible. A second late could be a matter of life and death." Huo De Xingjun's face was unsightly. This reminded him of the experience of being instantly killed by the big cat. If the Queen and Chi Ou encountered the same level of crisis, they would probably have met with misfortune by now. Zhang Yuanqing looked anxious, looking around like a headless fly, calling out to the Queen and Chi Ou.

Li Li Yuan Shangcao frowned, looking around, searching the surroundings.

Xiao Dou also frowned, feeling that it was tricky. The number of dungeons she had experienced far exceeded Li Chunfeng's, but the difficulty was not high. Level A was the first time she had encountered it, and her experience in dealing with high-level dungeons was not as good as Li Chunfeng's.

"Don't worry. The more bizarre it is, the lower the safety is. Otherwise, the difficulty of this dungeon would be unbalanced." Su Qi Yu, who had been tormented by level S dungeons, was the calmest and said in a very fast voice, "At least we have confirmed one thing, that is, we must separate to trigger the Xu Widow plot. And I think that separating does not mean acting alone, but separating men and women."

"Now, we need to enter the plot, otherwise the Queen and Chi Ou will really be in mortal danger." His words, though chaotic, quickly stabilized the morale.

Zhang Yuanqing's anxious mood calmed down slightly.

Xiao Dou said, "I'll stay where I am. You guys go back until we can't see each other."

Li Chunfeng took a deep look at her. "Be careful. Stay where you are and don't move. If I find that I still can't trigger the plot, I'll come back to find you immediately." As he spoke, he silently spat out a wisp of Yin Qi and left Su Qi Yu here.

In this way, he could see Xiao Dou through Guan Ya's vision when necessary, similar to a surveillance camera.

Chi Ou and the Queen disappeared for no reason. As far as Li Chunfeng knew, the professions with this ability were the Night Wanderer's charm and the Illusionist's illusion. Regardless of which one it was, Su Qi Yu, as a spirit servant, could play some role.

At worst, he could act as a "fake eye." Now that Su Qi Yu had been upgraded, he had initially possessed the ability to fight and escape. Li Chunfeng still had some confidence in his spirit servant.

Xiao Dou smiled indifferently. "I know, don't worry." Immediately, Li Chunfeng led three teammates and ran wildly in the original direction.

Soon, the four of them ran back to the original alley entrance. Su Qi Yu did not stop, but slowed down and looked around at the houses on both sides of the street. He shouted again, "Xiuer, Xiuer, where are you?"

Suddenly, the second-floor window of a house on the left side of the street opened, and a soft and charming voice responded, "Are you gentlemen looking for me?"

The voice floated into the ears of the four men, tingling and numb, like a lover whispering in their ears, making half of their bones go soft. "Yes, yes."

Li Chunfeng looked at the window and said involuntarily. "Yes, yes." The other three also responded. The voice softly chanted, "I'm upstairs. Gentlemen, come upstairs for a chat.

Li Chunfeng, Zhang Yuanqing, and Su Qi Yu subconsciously moved their feet and walked towards the house. The open window was dark and bright, revealing a strange gloom.

The melancholy and quiet Wood Demon youth suddenly shuddered and thought of a detail. When the window opened just now, they immediately noticed it, but they didn't see anyone by the window at the time. The window seemed to have opened by itself, or something invisible had opened the window.

The few romantic thoughts in Li Li Yuan Shangcao's heart quickly faded away, and he hurriedly grabbed his companions' arms.

Li Chunfeng suddenly woke up and scolded Su Qi Qing and Huo Su Qi Yu in a low voice, "Have you two never seen a woman before? You're bewitched!" Zhang Yuanqing and De Xingjun looked ashamed.

Li Li Yuan Shangcao glanced at the righteous and stern captain and curled his lips. But Li Chunfeng coughed and said loudly, "Madam Xiuer, can you poke your head out and let us see your beautiful face?" Hearing the captain's shameless words, the three of them felt a burst of tension in their hearts, feeling like someone was taking care of the shameless things. The golden sunlight was strong, but the light in the window seemed to devour the light, and the soft and charming female voice came again.

"Gentlemen, you're annoying. Don't tease me. Come on up, don't make me wait too long ~" The voice was so seductive that the men below couldn't help but feel their hearts flutter.

Li Chunfeng's face was serious, and he lowered his voice and said, "It seems she won't come down. We have to go into the house, otherwise the plot won't continue."

The three teammates nodded. Zhang Yuanqing hesitated and said, "I have a bad feeling. This level may be difficult, and there's even a risk of capsizing in the gutter."

"Why?" De Xingjun frowned. Huo Su Qi Yu said, "Because I'm horny." "Coincidentally, so am I," Li Chunfeng muttered in his heart. Zhang Yuanqing said in a low voice, "Xiao Dou and the Queen are beautiful enough, and their figures are great, but I can only admire their beauty at most. But when I heard Xu Widow's voice just now, all I could think about was sleeping with her."

"Coincidentally, so am I," Li Chunfeng thought. Su Qi Yu's face didn't look good, and his feelings were exactly the same as Zhang Yuanqing's.

Huo De and Yuanshi don't seem to be reliable. The one who is least tempted by beauty is Li Li Yuan Shangcao, but his combat power is far inferior to the two of them. We have to find a way to make Yuanshi and Huo De not be tempted by beauty. De Xingjun's eyes flashed, and he coughed twice, attracting the attention of his companions.

"In fact, it's very common to be tempted by beauty. The reason why men are horny is that physiological reactions dominate the brain. It's like when you're hungry, you must eat something. When the bacteria in your stomach want to eat sweets, you will want to eat sweets. So, from some perspectives, people's thinking is controlled by the body. This is why many men can't control their lust." Su Qi Yu spoke eloquently.

"We can't control physiological reactions because you can't stop the body from secreting hormones, but we can influence the brain through alternative methods and curb the secretion of hormones." "You're so knowledgeable," Li Chunfeng and Zhang Yuanqing listened in a daze.

Zhang Yuanqing quickly asked, "Then how do we curb hormone secretion?"

De Xingjun said, "It's very complicated. You just have to keep telling yourself in your heart that even the most beautiful woman has to excrete, will smell sour if she doesn't take a bath, and will also pick her toes, and may even have foot odor. It's best to conjure up corresponding images in your mind. In addition, you can also appropriately imagine some more unacceptable scenes, such as a bloated corpse."

"Don't, don't say it, I've already emptied my mind." Zhang Yuanqing shuddered after imagining it. "Okay, let's go in. Beauty is nothing more than this." Zhang Yuanqing strode towards the house. On the riverbank, Su Qi quietly waited, focusing on guarding the surroundings. Suddenly, a joyful cry came from behind, "Xiao Dou!" The mixed-race beauty's heart trembled, and she quickly turned around while assuming a defensive posture.

In the alley behind her, a young woman in a single coat, capri pants, and heavy makeup ran out. She was bright and generous, and it was the Queen.

Her emotions contained joy, fear, and helplessness, but there was no hostility. Her running pace was unsteady, and there was no sign of accumulating strength to attack. Her aura contained strong "water attribute" spiritual power, and she was indeed a Water Ghost, not an illusion or disguise. Xiao Dou's beautiful eyes flickered with white light. The scout's sharp eyes calmly observed the Queen.

Although she confirmed that the other party was the Queen, Su Qi did not have any joy or relaxation, because in her sight, the Queen's round face had become thin, her eyes were clear and tired,

her complexion was dim, and her expression was listless.

In just ten minutes, she had become so haggard, as if her essence had been drained by something.

"Su Qi, why are you here? Where are the others?" The Queen's face was full of surprise, and she looked around, searching for the figures of the others.

"They went to other places to look for you." Guan Ya stared at her haggard female colleague and asked, "Why did you suddenly disappear? What did you encounter?"

Hearing this, the Queen's face sank, and she said in a low voice, "After I fetched water, I planned to return, but I found that I was lost and couldn't find you no matter what. I tried to call out, but you didn't respond to me. Then, then..."

The Queen looked warily behind her, her expression terrified, and said:

"I heard the laughter of a child behind me. No matter where I ran, the laughter followed me, but when I turned around, the laughter disappeared. When I ran again, it sounded again. I couldn't find it no matter what!" A child's laughter. Su Qi's eyes lit up with a strong white light. A child's laughter. Guan Ya's eyes lit up with a strong white light, covering her pupils.

At this moment, she saw more things and saw a small, cyan-black hand reaching out from behind the Queen and resting on her shoulder.

The next moment, a cyan-black skinned baby poked its head out. Its ugly face had wrinkled skin, and its eyes were wide open, but they were not the innocent black buttons of a child, but gloomy white pupils. Guan Ya's heart sank. "It's on your back."

Zhang Yuanqing and the others came to the front door of the house on the street. The door was a retro double wooden door, and the two door knockers were covered with rust. Huo De Xingjun took the lead in pushing open the wooden door, and in the "creak"

sound, the wooden door that had been sealed for many years opened.

The house was dimly lit, and a musty smell unique to old houses wafted over.

Inside the door was probably the outer hall, simply furnished with some tables, chairs, and wooden cabinets, simple and unadorned.

Passing through the outer hall, there was a small courtyard with a patio. In the center of the courtyard was a small platform, bathed in the sunlight that fell from the patio, with some bamboo racks for drying clothes erected. On all four sides of the platform were inner halls, rooms, and a narrow staircase leading to the second floor.

The four of them looked at each other. Li Chunfeng looked at the dimly lit wooden staircase and said, "Follow me closely." He took the lead in climbing the stairs leading to the first floor.

The stairwell was narrow and dark, and the wooden stairs were old. Every step the group took could be heard with a "creak" sound. Finally, they passed through the not-so-long stairs and arrived at the second floor. The second floor was a boudoir, furnished with objects used by women everywhere. Directly opposite the staircase was a wooden bed with carved flowers, with red gauze curtains hanging down. The bed was covered with a new quilt embroidered with gardenias. Next to the window, a wooden table stood with a bronze incense burner, and a faint dark fragrance floated.

Next to the window was a dressing table, and in front of the table sat a naked woman, wearing only a cicada-wing-like thin gauze. The lines of her back were graceful, and her full, moon-like buttocks were made even rounder by the squeezing of the wooden stool.

In the bright and reflective bronze mirror, a face that was both happy and angry, charming and indescribable, was reflected.

Her figure and her appearance were impeccable, but what was most attractive was her temperament, which was indescribable, making people fascinated and leaving only two words in their minds: desire. The eyes of the four men were like magnets, firmly attached to the woman's graceful figure, unable to move away.

Zhang Yuanqing, Li Li Yuan Shangcao, and De Xingjun looked infatuated. Their previous vigilance and caution had unknowingly disappeared without a trace. "Thump, thump, thump," Li Chunfeng heard his own strong heartbeat, and a flame of desire surged in his lower abdomen, rushing towards a certain place, bringing congestion and swelling.
