Chapter 226 - The Conditions of the Bet.
With Gu Luoyu, the powerful Espe, taking charge, the panic in the team was quickly subdued just by her brief appearance in front of everyone. This restores people's rationality, preventing them from making extreme moves out of fear.
The mining task couldn't be stopped, and fortunately, the daytime was very safe.
The miners worked diligently, but as time flew by and the sky gradually darkened, the previously calm hearts of the people began to race again, and panic resurfaced.
Despite being exhausted from mining, they couldn't fall asleep easily. Instead, they stayed wide-eyed in their tents, jumping at every sound like startled birds.
However, the night was unlike the previous ones, peaceful and uneventful.
The strange buzzing sound didn't occur, and there were no instances of miners being controlled to jump into the water collectively. Only Gu Luoyu and Ye Sheng stood by the lake, quietly waiting.
The night wind blew, bringing waves of cold. Unlike the psychic, Ye Sheng, who was still an ordinary person, couldn't help but hug her arms tightly. Initially, she thought her strong physique would keep her warm, but now she suddenly felt a chill.
At the same time, she thought that Gu Luoyu's plan might not succeed... using her as bait, like a sweet cake, would certainly attract something covetous.
But...
The two of them had been standing here foolishly for an hour!
Nothing had happened, not even a fish, let alone Fu Ruo.
Just as Ye Sheng was silently grumbling, a coat suddenly fell from the sky and draped over her, bringing instant warmth and making her squint comfortable.
Grabbing the coat, Ye Sheng turned to look at Gu Luoyu. Under the red moonlight, those beautiful red eyes shone even brighter, like dazzling gemstones.
Ye Sheng couldn't help but be captivated, unconsciously moving closer, completely enslaved by Gu Luoyu's beauty.
Finally, Gu Luoyu chuckled softly and gently tapped Ye Sheng's forehead, waking her up and making her cheeks flush with embarrassment.
Even though they had done everything they could and shouldn't have, they still felt shy~
It's all because Gu Luoyu is too beautiful!
Ye Sheng coughed tactically, avoiding eye contact, trying to change the subject: “Ah Yu, I think Fu Ruo definitely won't come tonight. After almost being defeated by you yesterday, no one would dare show up again.”
Even if Fu Ruo had changed, seemingly losing her human memories, biological instincts were ingrained in her bones. Even polluted creatures would flee when faced with an unbeatable opponent.
At the very least, she will take a few days to regroup before coming back!
Looking at Ye Sheng's expression, Gu Luoyu didn't need to speak to understand, making her somewhat helpless at Ye Sheng's naivety and her own irresistible allure.
Last night, Gu Luoyu had seen a determined look in Fu Ruo's golden eyes, indicating she wouldn't give up.
Therefore, such a person wouldn't have the patience to wait and would definitely appear again tonight.
After studying psychic protection all day, Gu Luoyu was now fully confident that she wouldn't be affected by the buzzing sound and would directly cut off Fu Ruo's head.
“Want to make a bet?”
“Bet it is!”
Hearing Gu Luoyu proposed the bet, Ye Sheng hesitated for a moment but was quickly stirred by the challenge.
She wouldn't admit she couldn't do it!
Moreover, it was already 3 am, and dawn was only a few hours away. Based on Fu Ruo's appearance, time over the past few days, she wouldn't show up during the day.
So, she was bound to win!!!
While Ye Sheng was certain of her victory, Gu Luoyu just raised an eyebrow and didn't say much more, directly stating the bet's condition: “If I win, you have to abstain for a month.”
“...”
Ye Sheng was shocked by this condition, her black eyes filled with accusation. But seeing Gu Luoyu's expression that seemed to say 'you're scared, aren't you?' successfully provoked Ye Sheng's competitive spirit!
Fine!
If Gu Luoyu wanted to play, she would go all the way.
“Okay, if I win, I want to indulge for a whole month!!!”
Food and lust are human nature.
Ye Sheng couldn't imagine abstaining for a month. She would definitely become a withered, drooping flower, without any nourishment, just listless.
So, after the bet was set, she silently prayed!
For her happy life, she had to win!
Hearing Ye Sheng say the word “indulge,” Gu Luoyu was momentarily stunned, then found it amusing. She really couldn't help this little one.
The reason for adverse abstinence was for Ye Sheng's good.
After this period of transition, Ye Sheng's body was finally about to form an embryo, making this stage the most dangerous and requiring careful handling.
Gu Luoyu naturally wouldn't risk Ye Sheng's safety, nor could she bear to see Ye Sheng pout and act cute, wanting to be intimate.
That's why she took this opportunity to propose the bet.
Although this constraint didn't seem very reliable, if the urge was too strong, who would care about the bet? They would just find ways to do naughty things.
While Gu Luoyu was thinking this, she seemed to feel Ye Sheng's gaze, making Ye Sheng snort in defiance, then crossed her arms and looked away.
However, as soon as she turned her head, the next second, Ye Sheng locked eyes with a pair of golden orbs.
When Fu Ruo noticed Ye Sheng finally seeing her, she joyfully slapped the water with her tail, her golden eyes greedily fixed on her prey, as if she wanted to devour her.
But at this moment, Ye Sheng couldn't care about Fu Ruo's eerie gaze. She just wanted to cry.
Damn it, abstaining for a month would be the death of her!
Unlike the sorrowful Ye Sheng, Gu Luoyu, seeing Fu Ruo's arrival, curled her lips into a cold smile and immediately rushed towards the waters where Fu Ruo was. She held a black longsword that appeared instantly and defended it fiercely at Fu Ruo.
Fu Ruo didn't dodge, seemed stunned, but the strange smile in her golden eyes hinted at something else.
Unfazed, Gu Luoyu increased her strength.
But as a grating sound of friction emerged, a huge blue tentacle suddenly surged from the water, blocking Gu Luoyu's sword. With a squeeze, it crushed the sword into black psychic energy.
At the same time, another blue tentacle shot out from the water, heading straight for Gu Luoyu.
It easily pierced through the psychic barriers in its path, like puncturing a thin sheet of paper.
