What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

Su Yu briefly considered her words in her mind, and then said, "Simply put, I'm asking you to protect me for a period of time..."

"what?"

"There might be a troublesome guy trying to kill me soon. With my current abilities, it'll be hard for me to survive, so I'm hoping to get your protection... or something..."

It was incredibly difficult for Su Yu to utter such a plea for help.

But in order to survive, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to maintain good interpersonal relationships!

"Oh, I get it."

Qi Gaolang tapped his palm.

"You want to hire me as your bodyguard, right?"

Su Yu scratched her head and looked up at the sky: "Although, but... I probably can't afford to pay wages."

The word "employ" is used a bit too strongly.

"Salary? I don't need that."

Qi Gaolang adjusted his glasses and smiled.

"Money is meaningless to me right now."

"However, you do need to pay me some compensation."

"Hmm, let me think about it."

He held up one finger and pushed his glasses up and down.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, pondering his own needs.

Seeing him like this, Su Yu felt quite relieved.

At the very least, this guy would never suggest a solution like "sexual compensation."

Do you have any other interesting little gadgets like this?

Qi Gaolang raised the sunflower again and waved it in front of her.

"If you can come up with one more little gadget that I find interesting, I'll help you with this."

150. They're not strong enough to pull it out!

Su Yu really has a lot of these interesting things.

Since entering the official instance, she has gradually accumulated a lot of things that "seem very powerful, but are actually useless".

I originally thought it would be hard to find something that would interest Qi Gaolang, but...

Su Yu quickly realized that she had really overestimated him.

"Wow, this is amazing!"

"What is this? A key to the treasure vault?"

"Wow! Isn't this the octopus girl's diary? It looks so interesting!"

"This one is pretty good too!"

Qi Gaolang is not a difficult person to please.

You can tell from the childhood toys he hid in the wall that he had a very playful nature.

However, his tragic background makes people overlook his goofy side.

"Please choose whichever you like, it's yours."

"Huh? You're letting me choose? I can't possibly accept that... then just give me all of these."

Qi Gaolang happily accepted these "seemingly impressive but actually useless" items and gave Su Yu a perfunctory thank you.

Su Yu: "..."

You really don't seem embarrassed at all!

That being said, your initial goal was to get me to take out all the props and then eat them all in no time, right?

Fortunately, Su Yu really didn't need these props.

For example, the octopus girl's diary, the key to the mermaid's treasure chest, and some foods that will cause vomiting and diarrhea...

Using them up here in exchange for a month of shelter is a worthwhile deal.

"Then it's settled. For the next month, I'll be at your beck and call."

As he spoke, Qi Gaolang placed a glass marble in Su Yu's hand.

"You can borrow this for now. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can take refuge here."

Su Yu held the familiar-looking glass ball, lost in thought.

Is this the secret behind Qi Gaolang's ability to disappear instantly?

This method of evasion is something that even the Demon King and Ryoko would find helpless against.

Can I try it now?

"No."

Qi Gaolang held up a finger and waved it in front of Su Yu.

"You need to understand, this thing works like a portal; it's a passage connecting this world to that world, and it's a one-way passage..."

"So, it means we can only instantly teleport people from that world to this world?"

blah-

Qi Gaolang snapped his fingers and smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes, you're very smart, that's right."

"I see."

……

……

Having achieved her goal, Su Yu took her leave.

Qi Gaolang escorted her downstairs.

As they went downstairs, Su Yu couldn't help but ask a question: "Who put the talismans, black dog blood, and lime here?"

Qi Gaolang shrugged: "They're residents here."

"Then, could they be wary of you?"

Qi Gaolang shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary human being, what is there to be wary of?"

"So this is..."

Qi Gaolang looked at her with a resentful expression, as if he were complaining about her persistent questioning.

"Oh dear! Every time I use that power to open a passage between two worlds, some filth inevitably follows. So, over time, there's been more and more filth in this building."

"...So, you're still the culprit!"

"Don't look at me like that, I'm cleaning up the mess!"

"...Isn't this just the way things should be?!"

Looking at this guy who has so many flaws, Su Yu just wanted to walk faster and get further away from him.

Qi Gaolang didn't try to keep her; he waved and turned to leave.

"Light rain! Light rain, light rain~"

Su Yu heard that familiar voice and looked down.

In the grass, Miss Ghost King's rag doll was forcefully pulling at a flower.

"Xiaoyu, please help!"

As she spoke, she looked at Su Yu with pitiful eyes.

"They're not strong enough to pull it out!"

"He's got so many flaws..."

Su Yu found it hard to believe that Miss Ghost King's doll could shamelessly say something like "I'm not strong enough".

However, she still squatted down and plucked the flower for the doll.

"Wow! Thank you, Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu is such a nice person!"

As it spoke, the doll pulled a bag of fresh soul eyeballs out of its mouth.

"This is a thank-you gift for Xiaoyu, hehehe~"

Su Yu: "..."

How should I put it? I suddenly felt a little flirted with it.

No, how does it know she needs eyeballs?

So, you did follow her the whole time, right?

Su Yu looked troubled: "I mean, do you really need to help with every little thing like a parent is sending their child to kindergarten for the first time?"

"My pleasure!"

Su Yu sighed, "If that's the case, I'll end up being raised like a giant baby."

"My pleasure!"

Rather than saying she was willing, it would be more accurate to say that this was her original intention.

Unfortunately, Su Yu has never been willing to completely rely on her, and has only grown stronger.

"Xiaoyu, go hand in your quest. I'll be waiting here for you to take me home!"

Su Yu hummed in agreement, turned around, and walked towards the building where Miss Luo was.
