Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

There was no way Jiang Ran would let his friends pay the price of their lives for their decision. Moreover, since he agreed to Shirley's request, it meant that he had the corresponding confidence.

There are still eight days left before the conquest of the "Green Ghost Lair". During these eight days, Jiang Ran is confident that he can improve his strength to a higher level.

·

After Jiang Ran said this, Pride and Heloise still argued for a while, but were finally convinced by Jiang Ran.

Vanessa kept looking at Jiang Ran thoughtfully. After everyone fell silent, she asked Jiang Ran a question.

"Lord Fike, I have something to say. I hope you won't be offended if I'm wrong... Was it because Shirley seduced you with her beauty that you agreed to her?"

Vanessa's question made Jiang Ran, who was drinking water, spit it out.

"That's not the case, why are you asking?"

Jiang Ran didn't expect that he would be portrayed as such a lustful person in Vanessa's mind.

"Well... because Shirley is not only beautiful, but also has a very impressive figure... If I were a man, I would definitely not be able to control myself..."

As Vanessa said this, she glanced at Heloise from time to time. She guessed that Lord Fige and Heloise must have had an intimate relationship.

"Don't worry, Vanessa..." Jiang Ran sighed with a wry smile, and then tried to make her understand that he would not fall into any beauty trap.

"Although Shirley is indeed beautiful, in my opinion, you and Heloise are no less beautiful than her."

Jiang Ran said this to express that he was not an ignorant person and would not be tempted by Shirley's beauty. However, after he said this, the atmosphere on the scene became strange.

Heloise blushed as she looked at her fingers, and Vanessa looked away embarrassedly.

Pride was very self-aware and quietly left the room, not forgetting to close the door.

7.14 - The Expectations of Two Young Girls (Part )

The hotel room was filled with a subtle and ambiguous atmosphere. Vanessa decided to take this opportunity to find out what the relationship between Fike and Heloise was.

"Lord Fike, may I ask why you are living in the same room with Heloise? Did I misunderstand something?"

Vanessa plucked up the courage and finally asked!

In fact, deep down in Vanessa's heart, she still had some expectation: she hoped that she was wrong.

As a noble, Vanessa knew that it was normal for a powerful man to have three wives and four concubines. However, as the future queen of Lord Feke, she still hoped that she could be the first woman to establish a marital relationship with Lord Feke.

As soon as this question came out, Vanessa clearly saw that Heloise's face turned even redder, which made her even more pessimistic.

But what Vanessa didn't expect was that Fike's answer was quite neutral.

"I'm living with Heloise because she was infected with the 'parasitic blood snake' before."

Fike's answer miraculously cooled the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

"Didn't I borrow the power of your 'Sacred White Deer' to heal her before? Don't you remember?"

"I remember... so that's how it is..."

Vanessa nodded blankly, and for a moment she thought she had really misunderstood Fike and Heloise.

However, Vanessa was not stupid. She immediately realized that there was something wrong with Fike's explanation!

"Wait a minute! If the 'Parasite Blood Snake' has been purified, why are you still living together?"

Vanessa did not get the order of time wrong. Fike's answer could indeed explain the "past", but it could not explain the "present"!

Facing Vanessa's precise questioning, Fike still looked very calm.

He sighed calmly, then said with a slight heavy voice that this matter would be a long story to explain.

·

"Heloise, can I tell Vanessa about the 'Earth Ghost' and the 'Snake Shadow Society'?"

Before explaining to Vanessa, Fike first consulted Heloise's opinion.

Heloise nodded generously. Ever since Vanessa saved her life, she no longer treated Vanessa as an outsider.

So, Fike briefly told Vanessa the whole story, and also let her know that the people from the Snake Shadow Society might come to chase them at any time, so for safety reasons, he and Heloise basically acted together.

"So it's the Snake Shadow Society... I've heard some rumors before, but I didn't expect this organization to actually exist."

Vanessa was really convinced this time. According to the rumors she had heard, the power of the Snake Shadow Society was quite terrifying, even not inferior to her organization "Hidden Dragon"!

"But why would the snake shadow chase you?"

"Vanessa, I think you already know the answer to this question."

Vanessa immediately understood the subtext of Fike's words.

——(So, all this ultimately stems from Master Fike’s identity as the Dragon Shadow…)

Vanessa had already known that the struggle surrounding Dragon Shadow would be extremely fierce, but when she was actually in it, she realized that she was too naive before.

The center of the vortex of struggle among the major forces in the Kingdom of West is Dragon Shadow!

"I understand, Lord Fike. If you need anything, please let me know and I will find a way."

At this point, Vanessa had completely forgotten what she wanted to ask at the beginning, and the only thing left in her mind was how to help Feke fight against the Snake Shadow Society.

·

After Vanessa and Pride outside the door left, only Heloise and Fike were left in the room.

As usual, Fei Ke made potions in batches in the afternoon, but Heloise did not take a relaxing nap as usual because she had some "distractions" in her mind.

After listening to Vanessa's question, Heloise began to think about what the relationship between her and Feke was now.

Although according to the customs of the Tiger People, as long as they exchange nicknames, they can be considered to have decided to spend their lives together, this custom is only valid for people of the Tiger People. Even if Heloise has made it clear to Fike, it does not count.

In the past, Heloise thought that the tiger people’s rule was very reasonable, but now, she just felt that she had suffered a great loss!

Frankly speaking, Heloise hoped that Feke would admit his relationship with her, but as a young girl, she was eager to be romantic when confirming the relationship, rather than admitting it under the pressure of others.

——(What on earth does Fike think of me now...)

Looking at Fike not far away, Heloy wanted to ask something but couldn't.

During the time in the town of Driss, Heloise stayed in the same room with Fike every day. At night, she slept in the same bed with Fike without any precautions... But Fike didn't even touch Heloise's finger, which made Heloise really not have the confidence to ask him.

Is it that Fike is too upright, or is it that Fike is not interested in him?

Recalling how Fike ran around for her during the time when she was infected with the "Parasitic Blood Snake", Heloise believed that Fike must have had a good impression of her.

Heloise could only think that Feke was just too shy since he had a crush on her but couldn't resist making a move.

As a girl of the Tiger People, Heloise always remembers the tribe's motto: If the Tiger People want something, they must fight for it themselves!

However, tiger hunting requires waiting for the right opportunity and striking the target with one strike! Therefore, Heloise would not act rashly, but would continue to wait for the perfect opportunity.

Heloise believed that as long as she and Fike continued to spend time together like this, the opportunity would come sooner or later!

[Maze clearing remaining: 3 days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 19 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Five days passed by unknowingly, and Ice Star Shirley was sitting in the office of the head of the Pame branch, still in a bad mood.

After Weipu Bilibi withdrew from the maze expedition team, Heloise, Vanessa and Pride, the three promising talents that Shirley thought, also withdrew one after another.

Now the only person Shirley can rely on in the team is Fike.

However, even though she had agreed on a strategy with Feike, Shirley could only know the Feiqi family's schemes in the end and had no way to stop their evil deeds.

This means that Shirley will have no choice but to watch the two teams from Dris Town go to their deaths.

As a maze instructor, Shirley couldn't accept this situation. She had already started thinking about making up an excuse to make the two teams retreat immediately after entering the "Green Ghost Lair".

However, this approach also has problems, because if the Feiqi family's team attacks the maze in an orderly manner, then Shirley's behavior will undoubtedly harm the Feiqi family in turn... This will also cause big problems.

Shirley had been troubled by these things for four or five days, and today, the maze expedition that had put her in a dilemma finally had new developments.

At noon today, the head of the Pam branch found Shirley and said that the envoy of the Feiqi family brought a group of reserve members to the town of Dris to conquer the maze.

After hearing this, Shirley immediately got up and went out to meet the envoy of the Feiqi family. She wanted to see what tricks the Feiqi family would play at this critical juncture.

As a result, half an hour later, Shirley fell into an indescribable depression.

The reason why she was so unhappy was that the envoy of the Feiqi family actually brought ten death row prisoners!

7.15 - Departure Day

The envoy of the Feiqi family made it very clear that these ten death row prisoners would be used to form two teams for Shirley.

With these ten death row prisoners, there is no need for innocent people to enter the maze to die, and Shirley will not have to bear unnecessary psychological burden.

After telling Shirley so openly, the Feiqi family's plan to cause trouble in the "Green Ghost Lair" has become an open conspiracy, and this lawless attitude has made Shirley feel angry and depressed.

Shirley didn't want to reorganize the two teams according to the Feiqi family's wishes, but if she didn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices, she could only accept these ten death row prisoners.

——(The Scarlet Qi family... I, Shirley, will remember this vengeance...!)

After a long struggle with herself, Shirley finally accepted the ten death row prisoners sent by the Feiqi family, and then made up an excuse to dismiss all the current members of the maze subjugation team, leaving only Feike behind quietly, waiting for him to find out the truth.

[Maze clearing remaining: 0 days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 16 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Three days passed in a flash, and the day for the maze expedition team to set out finally arrived.

During this period, Jiang Ran spent almost all of his available time on improving his skill proficiency and sleeping to replenish his mana, or he would batch-produce potions to increase his pharmacist professional experience. In short, he lived an extremely utilitarian life.

After seeing this crazy lifestyle, Heloise, who was with Jiang Ran day and night, once thought that this messenger of the good god might be crazy.

After all, in the eyes of the unsuspecting Heloise, when Jiang Ran was brushing up his skill proficiency, he looked like he was just sitting there in a daze.

"Everyone just wait for me in town. Trust me, it's okay."

Before leaving, Heloise, Vanessa and Pride all expressed their desire to enter the maze with Jiang Ran again, but Jiang Ran still firmly rejected them.

Jiang Ran still remembers clearly the group annihilation in the future death scene. Perhaps in that future, he didn't know that the group would be wiped out, so he let everyone enter the maze together with a fluke mentality.

"You don't have to send me off. I'm just going into the maze to investigate. I don't plan on risking my life. I'll be back soon, so don't make such a scene."

At Jiang Ran's strong request, everyone had to listen to his advice and say goodbye to him at the hotel door.

Heloise dipped her finger in a little of her saliva and smeared a circle on the back of Jiang Ran's hand. She said solemnly that this was a traditional ritual of the Tiger People. This ritual would inject all her luck into Jiang Ran and bless him to return safely.

"Don't erase it! Don't erase it!"

Looking at Heloise's serious expression, Jiang Ran could only accept it with a smile.

After Heloise, Vanessa took out three bottles of precious and powerful magic potions and gave them to Jiang Ran, and carefully explained the precautions.

Jiang Ran remembered this magic potion. He had seen Viviana drink it before. While restoring magic power, it came at the cost of losing vitality. However, in this Prison Star world, it was a very precious magic recovery item.

Finally, it was Pride who suggested that Jiang Ran ride Pegasus into the maze, as Pegasus's flying ability would definitely be of great help.

Jiang Ran thought for a while and politely declined Pride's kindness.

The ability to fly is indeed quite convenient, but in such a life-and-death situation, Jiang Ran would rather go to the battlefield with his old partner Xiao Motorcycle than with the unfamiliar Tianma.
