Chapter 544 Fatal Game 18
Ruan Lanzhu had no objections, and Tan Zaozao said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Lingling."
"It's not hard work," Ling Jiushi said with a smile as she went to the kitchen.
Once An Ruoyu comes downstairs, she can start eating right away.
After eating, Tan Zaozao went home, and everyone else went back to their rooms.
As soon as An Ruoyu returned to her room, Xiao Qi's happy voice rang out: "Host, 100,000 points have been credited to your account!"
"What a windfall! Worth celebrating." She took out two bottles of ice-cold beer from her spatial storage, one for herself and one for the other.
Xiao Qi took the wine: "Cheers, host."
They clinked bottles across the glass, and An Ruoyu opened her beer cap: "Cheers!"
The people here are celebrating their newfound power in high spirits, and the atmosphere is relaxed and joyful.
Next door, Ruan Lanzhu sat in his office chair, lost in thought, staring blankly out the window.

That day, Li Dongyuan suddenly found Ruan Lanzhu excitedly and said, "Ruan Lanzhu, I've taken a liking to An Ruoyu, and I'm going to pursue her!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lanzhu immediately looked up at him: "What did you say?"
“I told her I wanted to pursue An Ruoyu. She saved me this time when I married into the family. I think she’s even more amazing than you, and she’s deeply attracted to me.”
He has always liked beautiful and intelligent women; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for Ruan Lanzhu, who was impersonating Ruan Baijie, just because of a photograph.
Ruan Lanzhu said with certainty, "She won't like you."
An Ruoyu actually saved Li Dongyuan when she came in yesterday, but he didn't know about it, and she didn't tell him either.
Li Dongyuan didn't believe it: "How do you know it won't happen? I don't believe it. Tell me what she likes, so I can cater to her tastes."
"do not know."
"You're so disloyal! You tricked me by impersonating Ruan Baijie back then, and now you're not even helping me this time."
"Get out." Ruan Lanzhu directly ordered them to leave.
"Tell me what you want? I can give you what she likes in exchange."
Seeing his insistence, Ruan Lanzhu's expression turned cold: "No change, get out."
"Fine, I won't change it. I'll go ask Ling Jiushi." Seeing his resolute attitude, Li Dongyuan had no choice but to leave.
Ruan Lanzhu looked in the direction he left, her mind a little unsettled.
*
That evening, there was a knock on An Ruoyu's door. She was sitting on the bed looking at her phone and too lazy to get up: "Who is it? The door's unlocked, just come in."
The knocking stopped, the door was opened from the outside, and Ruan Lanzhu walked up to her.
Upon seeing it was him, An Ruoyu asked, "Did you need something from me?"
"I heard you saved Li Dongyuan yesterday?"
"Yes, everyone knows each other, and I couldn't just stand by and do nothing if I saw it."
Because Li Dongyuan's original death calamity had changed, An Ruoyu followed him into the previous door and indeed saw him encountering a life-threatening danger.
A few days ago, she followed everyone into the door of the Box Demon, and Cheng Qianli's ordeal of death has been successfully overcome.
Now that the deaths of her three targets have been resolved, only Ruan Lanzhu remains.
Thinking of this, An Ruoyu looked at the person in front of her: "You came to ask me this?"
Ruan Lanzhu nodded: "Yes, Li Dongyuan has a bad temper and talks a lot, which might bother you. If he bothers you, you can tell me... and Ling Jiushi."
Based on his understanding of Li Dongyuan's personality, he was certain that Li Dongyuan would come looking for An Ruoyu soon.
"Why did he come and bother me?" An Ruoyu asked, puzzled.
What puzzled her was why Ruan Lanzhu suddenly started criticizing Li Dongyuan.
"You saved him, and he might come to thank you."
"Oh, it's alright, he already thanked us from inside the door."
Ruan Lanzhu hesitated, unsure of how to begin.
He couldn't directly reveal Li Dongyuan's purpose in contacting her, otherwise he would be helping him.
Seeing that he hesitated for a long time without saying anything, An Ruoyu changed the subject: "I won't come in with you tomorrow. I plan to rest for a few days."
The plot had progressed to the point where Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi entered the eleventh door, and she didn't plan to follow them in.
She would only go in to save him before Ruan Lanzhu's purification game disappeared.
Speaking of this, Ruan Lanzhu felt a surge of sadness at parting; his fate was already sealed.
She was just agonizing over the issue of Li Dongyuan seeking her out, but after tomorrow, she won't have to worry about it anymore.
After developing various emotions, an NPC will feel just as sad as a normal person when faced with separation.
"It's best not to go in. You need to take good care of yourself."
An Ruoyu smiled and said, "Why are you talking so sadly, like it's a parting gift between life and death?"
In the past two days, Ling Jiushi has learned Ruan Lanzhu's true identity.
Both of them are keeping it from her, afraid that if she finds out, she will also encounter danger.
She said she wouldn't go with them so they wouldn't have to find reasons to persuade her, and she pretended not to know that only one of them could return from the trip.
Because An Ruoyu won't tell them what she's going to do for the time being.
"The eleventh door might mean a near-certain death..."
Ruan Lanzhu hesitated to continue, he dared not say that after passing the eleventh door he could directly enter the twelfth door.
He dared not say that once he arrived there, he would no longer exist in this world, nor did he dare tell her the feelings he had for her.
In the past few days, he has figured out how he feels about her, but this feeling is destined to remain unspoken.
“I believe you can come back safely,” An Ruoyu said.
Ruan Lanzhu looked at her deeply, her eyes filled with lingering affection and reluctance.
"Get some rest, see you tomorrow."
An Ruoyu pretended not to notice his odd behavior and nodded, saying, "Okay, goodnight."
"Good night." Ruan Lanzhu took a few steps, then stopped and turned back.
"what happened?"
"Can I hug you? I don't know what I'll encounter when I walk through the door tomorrow."
Before An Ruoyu could speak, he continued, "If it doesn't work out, then forget it."
"Okay." She got up, got out of bed, and walked to him. "Here, hug me. You must come back safely!"
Ruan Lanzhu didn't dare to answer her question. Instead, she opened her arms and hugged her, lowered her head, rested her chin on her shoulder, and closed her eyes.
He greedily absorbed her scent, as if to satisfy all the desires deep within his heart.
An Ruoyu patted him on the back: "Are you very tired today? Get some rest when you get back."
She was so overwhelmed by the oppressive aura emanating from him that she didn't want to see any of this; the outcome wouldn't be what he expected anyway.
Ruan Lanzhu tightened her grip slightly before letting go and straightening up: "I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my room and sleep."
"OK Bye Bye."
"Okay." This time, he really left.
*
The following afternoon, the atmosphere in Obsidian was tense, with everyone worried that the two might encounter danger upon entering, since no one had ever gone through the eleventh door before.
Tan Zaozao also took a moment to come over: "Brother Ruan, Brother Lingling, you two must be careful when you go in!"
"Don't worry, we'll come back safe and sound." When Ling Jiushi said this, he wasn't really sure himself, but how would he know if he didn't try?
An Ruoyu walked over and gave the two of them a hug: "I'll wait for you to come back."
Ruan Lanzhu nodded at her, and Ling Jiushi said, "Okay, we should go now."
The two opened the door and left, and An Ruoyu returned to the sofa and sat down quietly.
Tan Zaozao thought she was worried and comforted her, "Ruoyu, they will definitely come back safely."
An Ruoyu nodded: "I know."
"Don't worry too much, I'll wait with you!"
"it is good."
