Quadruple split.

Chapter 2789 Playground

"You're a complete lunatic."

Artemis stared gloomily at her mentally unstable 'partner' before her, and gritted her teeth, saying, "I really don't understand why Mother would create you."

"Who knows~"

YOYO shrugged, cheerfully took her sunglasses back from Artemis, and said in a lighthearted tone, "Maybe it's because only a cute 'crazy' like me can help it even a tiny bit?"

Although she really wanted to fight this guy directly—who, while infuriating, wasn't actually that good at fighting, at least not as good as her right now—Artemis, insisting that her 'mother's' actions must have a deeper meaning, suppressed her anger and coldly said, "Perhaps you are right."

"That's not."

YOYO immediately raised her little face proudly and said with a triumphant air, "YOYO is always right!"

"maybe."

Artemis abandoned the pointless thought process of sulking and said calmly, "Well, now that you've achieved your goal, there shouldn't be any reason for you to stay here any longer, right?"

YOYO raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You've clearly decided to 'give up on this pointless thought process of sulking,' but the result is just barely managing to keep a straight face before rudely issuing an order to leave~"

Artemis abruptly turned to look at YOYO: "You—"

"Don't worry, don't worry. Although I do really crave the super trendy ability of 'mind reading,' unfortunately, this simple and convenient cheating method has touched too many basic logics. After all, for a smart person, the harm of such an ability... Yes, I mean the 'harm' will definitely increase exponentially, rather than the useless ability used to pick up girls or make money in those brainless works."

YOYO shrugged and spread her hands, saying, "In conclusion, I don't have mind-reading abilities."

Artemis: "Then how did you... guess what I was thinking?"

"That's because you're too easy to guess."

YOYO looked at Artemis with an innocent expression and said in an equally innocent tone, "Seriously, darling, you're becoming more and more like a 'person' now. Although this is an inevitable and irreversible process, it also makes you easier to guess."

"..."

"If this continues, let alone continuing to contribute to Mother's great wishes, even maintaining our own existence may become a problem. Is that what you think? After all, as a second-rate person, your [equivalent exchange] is actually quite inadequate."

"Did you stay just to mock me?"

"No, no, no, my dear, the reason I stayed is actually very simple. I just want to see what you will do next after experiencing such a tragic Waterloo."

"This kind of thing should be a piece of cake for you, who could have guessed my defeat today, right?"

“This is what interests me the most. You know, the idea that fate ‘converges’ is a false proposition that no one has ever proven. And I, fortunately, have the opportunity to verify this false proposition. Under these circumstances, as the simplest and most easily influenced subject of observation, I have always been very interested in you.”

"What do you mean by 'before'?"

"It means I've suddenly lost interest."

YOYO made a face at Artemis and said with a grin, "After all, not only is your skill level second-rate, but your other skills are also just so-so. It's really hard for me to be satisfied with such an easy subject to observe, so I'm tired of playing with you. Bye-bye."

"you are leaving?"

Artemis narrowed her eyes and asked, "Go find the sea creatures?"

"Who knows? After all, I'm a very random and fickle person. Even if I planned to go find seafood for hot pot yesterday, I might change my mind tomorrow and go to Ember Volcano for a barbecue."

YOYO stretched and then walked briskly outside, saying without turning her head, "Well then, farewell."

"Wait a minute, you..."

"I'm sorry, I like men."

"Nobody asked you that kind of thing, I just wanted to..."

"You are a good person, but humans and machines are different, and it's impossible for us to be together."

"Who would want a relationship with you? I just wanted to ask if you'll continue to cause me trouble in the future!"

"Continue to cause trouble?"

YOYO stopped in her tracks, turned to Artemis, and gave her a faint smile.

"Don't overthink it. Right now, you're good enough to be a source of amusement, but you're far from qualified to make me cause any trouble."

"you!"

"Bye~!"

……

at the same time
Onic City, Central Administrative District, Third Floor of the Prince's Mansion, in front of the study
"Ok?"

As a familiar aura wafted from behind, the aloof dark elf girl, who was carrying the girl who was trying to break into the study for the twenty-seventh time, paused slightly before turning to look at the closed door.

"What's wrong, Sister Jidao?"

Although she has always maintained the state of "Flawless Evil" and indeed possesses undeniable super T0 level strength among players, in front of Sister Jidao, who has already stepped into the Epic Realm and whose qualities in all aspects can completely crush her, Wenqiu blinked and asked curiously, "You changed your mind and are willing to let Wenqiu in?"

"Ah."

Almost the instant he turned his head, he received a message from someone. Ji Xiaodao smiled slightly, and then, while releasing Wen Qiu, he dispersed the shadows that had been tightly binding the door: "Go in."

"Great!"

The girl immediately cheered excitedly, then slammed her head through the study door and rushed into the room on her short legs. The instant she locked onto her target, she leaped into the arms of the King of Sin, like a fish diving to its wits' end. She waved her little hands, trying to pinch the half of his face beneath his mask: "Brother Mo! Brother Mo! Why won't you let Wenqiu in! What bad thing did Wenqiu do… Waaah, did Wenqiu upset Brother Mo?"

"No."

The King of Sin spoke succinctly, then effortlessly 'torn' the girl, who had transformed into a rascal, off his body, gently placing her on the long table in front of him. Meeting her large, bright, sparkling eyes, he asked calmly, "What do you need me for?"

"I want Brother Mo to play with me!"

Wenqiu chuckled and said innocently, "Wenqiu is bored!"

"Wenqiu, my dear."

Having watched the commotion to her heart's content, Ji Xiaodao walked in with light steps. After closing the door behind her, she gently patted the girl's head and said, "Your brother Mo still has a lot of naughty things to plot. If you don't mind, how about I play with you for a while?"

"mind!"

The girl pouted at Ji Xiaodao, looking pitiful, and said, "Sister Jidao is so mean! Why wouldn't she let Wenqiu in just now!" Ji Xiaodao looked down at the girl in front of her, who somehow managed to keep her from getting angry, and said softly, "Sister just..."

"That's bad."

However, the King of Sin calmly interrupted the girl, and under her astonished gaze, turned back to Wen Qiu: "In that case, I'll play with you for a while, how about it?"

"You? Huh? I'm bad?"

Almost laughing in exasperation, Ji Xiaodao glared at the King of Sin, who remained expressionless and quietly awaiting the girl's answer, and said irritably, "Who told me to stop Wen Qiu as well?!"

The King of Sin remained silent, simply waiting for the girl, who was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and momentarily at a loss for what to do, to give him an answer.

however--

"Um... if Brother Mo is too busy... you can play with Sister Ji Dao too..."

Originally, she just wanted to act cute. Knowing very well that her "Brother Mo" had a lot of things to do, a lot of sleep to get, and a lot of suffering to endure, the girl pursed her lips and muttered softly, "Brother Mo can go and do his important work. Wen Qiu won't cause trouble, and she can even help!"

"Xiao Wenqiu!"

Ji Xiaodao looked at the girl with tenderness in his eyes and smiled, "So well-behaved."

"Hehe~"

The girl smiled innocently and said cheerfully, "Wenqiu is so good!"

So, what's the answer?

The King of Sin stood up and placed his hand on Wenqiu's little head: "Want me to play with you for a while?"

"Well……"

The girl struggled with her conscience for about two seconds before her little bit of understanding gave in, and she nodded vigorously, saying, "Wenqiu wants to play with Brother Mo!"

"Ah."

The King of Sin nodded slightly, then turned to Ji Xiaodao: "And you?"

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

Ji Xiaodao was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant and asked with a somewhat subtle expression, "Are you asking me if I want to play with Wenqiu? What a joke, how could I... I'd rather see how you coax this child!"

"Okay, okay!"

Wenqiu clapped her hands vigorously and said happily, "Now Wenqiu is very picky, and a few pretty butterflies won't be enough to win her over!"

"..."

The King of Sin said nothing, but simply walked to the center of the room and lightly flicked the wide cloak that had quietly appeared on his shoulders—

……

Next, before Ji Xiaodao and Wen Qiu could react, a huge and magnificent dark-colored teleportation array that was slowly rotating suddenly appeared on the study floor.

"?"

"?!"

The next moment, Wen Qiu and Ji Xiaodao, who was protecting her behind her, both felt a sense of disorientation. When they regained consciousness, they suddenly found that the study where they had been was gone, replaced by a silent, fearful, and cold space.

"here it is……"

Quietly holding [Night Rain] and [Silent Return] in his hands, Ji Xiaodao, who had maintained a high level of vigilance even after suddenly appearing here, looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the calm and composed person who seemed to have nothing to do with him: "Where is this place?"

"A graveyard."

"A cemetery? Which cemetery? What kind of cemetery is it?"

"dragon."

The King of Sin's answer was concise and to the point, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

"dragon?!"

Ji Xiaodao and Wen Qiu were both startled, with the former even repeating softly, "You mean this is the graveyard of dragons?"

"Yes."

"So, the reason you brought us here this time is because..."

“This place is perfect as a ‘playground’ for autumn.”
