"Lu Li? What are you doing?"

Startled by Lu Li's sudden action, March 7 asked indistinctly, with a freshly served crispy bone still dangling from her mouth.

Xing also looked up from the list of dishes, curiously asking, "Lu Li, are you also interested in the food prepared by the Marquis of Nevernight?"

Lu Li: "..."

Although he really wanted to complain, Lu Li didn't have time to pay attention to them right now.

He pressed his entire body tightly against the chair, not daring to move an inch.

Although the menu was blocking his view.

But he could clearly feel that the sword intent, which was as tangible as a physical object, was getting closer and closer.

My f***.

What is she doing here?!

They even openly appeared on the street...etc.

Could it be that Jingliu was hiding behind the Nightless Marquis all along before the main storyline ended?!

That's not right either.

According to the plot, shouldn't she be hiding in the shadows watching how things unfold?

After all, she should wait until the Star Core incident is over before returning to Luofu to begin her plan...

Could it be... that it's because of this "butterfly" again?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Li's mind, but none of them could put him at ease.

He is now filled with regret.

I knew I'd run into Kagami here.

He should have just lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, instead of coming to this "Lord of the Nightless City".

Now look what's happened, just what I feared most has come to pass.

Murphy's Law really applies to him!

[Lu Li? What's wrong?]

Bai Heng's voice also rang out.

obviously.

She didn't see, or rather, she didn't recognize, the mirror flow.

After all, Jingliu's appearance has changed quite a bit compared to before.

Therefore, she was somewhat worried when she saw Lu Li's appearance.

Your body is shaking... Is something wrong?

I wasn't just shaking, I was shaking like a sieve...

Lu Li silently complained to himself.

"Lu Li, my benefactor?"

Tingyun's voice also rang out, tinged with a hint of doubt.

"Is there... a dish on the menu that you're not satisfied with?"

Lu Li: "..."

Walter frowned as well.

He glanced in the direction Lu Li had been looking, but only saw a bustling crowd and didn't notice anything unusual.

"Lu Li, put the menu down." Walter's voice turned serious. "What exactly happened?"

I do want to let it go.

But I don't dare!

Lu Li felt like she was about to cry.

He's like a frog being stalked by a snake, unable to do anything but freeze in place.

Just then, that chilling sword intent arrived at the foot of the "Never-Night Marquis's" building.

Then... it stopped.

Lu Li's heart jumped into his throat.

Is she coming up?

Has she found me?

He gripped the menu tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Every second felt like an eternity.

Finally, that sword intent began to move again.

But this time, it's not upwards.

Instead, it... slowly drifted away in another direction.

gone?

Lu Li waited for a long time until the sword intent completely disappeared from his perception range before he finally dared to believe the fact.

He let out a long, long sigh of relief.

He looked like he had been pulled out of the water, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He trembled as he slowly put down the menu in his hand.

"Phew...that scared me to death..."

He was about to slump into his chair when he realized that everyone in the private room was staring at him.

Lu Li: "..."

Inside the room were March 7th, Xing, Tingyun, and Walter.

The four people had different expressions, but their eyes all conveyed the same message:

You better give us a reasonable explanation.

"Uh..." Lu Li's expression froze instantly.

It's over.

I was so focused on dodging the mirror-like attacks that I forgot about this.

How is he supposed to explain his "performance art" act just now?

Lu Li fell into deep thought.

He said he suddenly developed a "menu addiction" and would die if he didn't look at the menu?

Or did you say that you were just outsmarting thin air and ultimately won?

Lu Li's brain raced as he tried to come up with a reason to get away with it.

"Um...I..."

He had barely opened his mouth when March 7th interrupted, "I understand!"

Lu Li: "?"

Lu Li was stunned for a moment.

I don't even know how to say it yet, what do you know that you already know?

But seeing March 7th's confident demeanor, Lu Li became suspicious.

Could it be... that March 7th has finally seen the light?

March 7th looked at Lu Li with an "I understand" expression: "Lu Li, did you just see something on the street...?"

Holy crap, she actually guessed it?!

Lu Li swallowed hard, becoming nervous again.

then.

"You saw that girl who asked for directions earlier, right?"

Lu Li was stunned for a moment.

Lu Li fell into deep thought.

Lu Li understood perfectly.

Yes, he knew it.

Just like the sun doesn't rise from the west... It truly lives up to its name, March 7th.
