Chapter 164 Wait for Dad!
Chapter 164 Wait for Dad!
But the other male was different. Judging from the way they talked, they clearly knew each other and were more casual with each other.
So if they're holding the same color, they should be relatively safer, right?
The other one, holding the yellow one, frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his brows, clearly sharing the same thoughts as the two female insects.
Qi Min didn't look at the different expressions on their faces, but simply said "Follow me" and turned to walk ahead.
Liu Yan followed first, followed by the female insect holding the same colored bracelet as him.
Another female insect holding a yellow bracelet followed closely behind, leaving only Chen Xuan and Ling Yi at the very back.
Before long, Qi Min led them along a wide corridor, through a tall and spacious hall, to the third floor of a building.
"This is the place, let's go in."
Qi Min stopped at a room with an intricately carved door panel and filled with dolls. The room was large and luxurious, with thick plush carpets covering the floor, which looked soft and comfortable.
The light blue-green decor makes this place look like a dreamlike place, like the light mist on the horizon on a spring morning, or like the green mountains and pink lotus blossoms reflected in a tranquil lake.
Liu Yan looked at the room and exclaimed in admiration, then turned his head in surprise.
"Are we staying here? Why isn't there a bed in this room? Are those robotic dolls on the floor?"
As Liu Yan went inside and looked around, he asked questions, expressing his doubts.
"This room doesn't need a bed. Also, those with blue bracelets should go in, while those with yellow bracelets will be in other rooms."
Qi Min reached out and stopped the female insect wearing the yellow bracelet, speaking calmly with a serene gaze and no particular emotion on his face.
Ling Yi, who had been silent all along, also stopped and looked up at Qi Min, as if waiting for his explanation.
Qi Min ignored their questions, simply pushed the female insect wearing the yellow bracelet back a little, and prepared to close the door.
"Hey, wait a minute, Dad! Are we just going to stay here? Don't we need to do anything?"
Liu Yan hurriedly reached out to stop them, asking with great confusion, "This time when we came in, we didn't receive any plot hints or missions to complete the game."
They were in a rather passive and confused position. Seeing that Qi Min seemed about to leave, leaving them alone in the room, Liu Yan couldn't help but panic.
Now, whenever he's in the dungeon world and can't see Qi Min, he feels incredibly insecure, anxious, and afraid.
It's like when Wukong suddenly leaves with Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, and Tang Sanzang is afraid of being captured and eaten by monsters.
It's like bravely entering a haunted house only to find that the NPC guiding you has suddenly disappeared, leaving you to face the challenge alone—it's uncontrollable to feel a chill run down your spine.
I always feel like some inexplicable, terrifying thing will pop up at any moment and devour me alive.
Qi Min looked at the door he had blocked, and helplessly raised his eyes. Meeting his pitiful yet frightened gaze, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
I felt like I had really made trouble for myself. If it weren't for the fact that this child was sensible and obedient...
He kept calling him "Dad" so eagerly, but Qi Min had already kicked him out. After thinking for a moment, Qi Min still spoke up and answered his question.
"That's right, you'll stay here. You don't need to do anything else. You can come out at night. By the way, do you see the dolls in the room?"
Qi Min slightly raised his chin, gesturing for Liu Yan to turn around and look. After Liu Yan turned around in confusion, Qi Min continued speaking.
"The color of your bracelet represents your status. Your current status is the same as theirs—a doll waiting for the young lady to come and play with. Without permission, you are not allowed to speak or move..."
Liu Yan listened in a daze, somewhat puzzled, but Qi Min simply pushed him aside and closed the door after speaking.
Then he turned around to look at Chen Xuan, who seemed to be deep in thought, and Ling Yi, who was staring intently at him.
As for the female insect next to him who also didn't understand, Qi Min simply ignored her.
"I'll take you to the young lady now. Remember, don't speak, don't laugh... and don't frown."
Qi Min paused at the end of his instructions, then looked at Ling Yi and emphasized it again.
"My lord! Could you please give me a moment, a chance to explain..."
Ling Yi stepped forward and grabbed Qi Min, who was about to turn around, and said with a hint of pleading in his eyes, his eyes full of urgency and entreaty.
Qi Min looked at Ling Yi, who was slightly taller than him, and saw him looking at him with a pleading expression and expectant eyes. Qi Min's heart, which was already unable to be completely hardened towards him, was now so soft that he disliked him.
"Let's wait until later. I'll feel better later, and you can think more about where to explain it best."
I don't like giving someone too many chances; it makes me look stupid.
It's getting late, we should head over. Remember, don't talk, don't laugh, and especially don't frown; ideally, keep a blank expression.
After Qi Min finished speaking, he broke free from his fingers, turned around and walked ahead again, with the clueless female insect following first.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan also pulled Ling Yi, whose emotions had calmed down a bit, and followed.
A short while later, Qi Min led them to a more exquisite and luxurious place, gestured for them to wait a moment, and then knocked on a door carved with flowers and clouds.
"Miss Aurora, the models have been chosen this time. Let me show them to you..."
Ling Yi watched as Qi Min gently knocked on the door and spoke in a respectful yet gentle tone. He couldn't help but frown uncomfortably. He didn't like seeing Qi Min like this, but what made him even more uncomfortable was yet to come.
A soft, sweet voice came from inside the door, pleading with Qi Min to come in and help her get dressed and get up.
Qi Min was actually about to go in, but before going in, he glanced back and saw Ling Yi's expression. He gave him a warning look before opening the door and going in.
A moment later, from inside the open door came Qi Min's gentle coaxing and a soft, coquettish voice.
As Ling Yi listened to Qi Min's indulgent and coaxing conversation coming from inside, his expression, though he tried his best to control it, was still clearly unpleasant.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan thought of the male insect and the warning look it gave them before they went in. She immediately reached out and pinched Ling Yi's arm, signaling him to watch his expression and calm down.
Ling Yi received Chen Xuan's reminder, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust himself. Fortunately, before Qi Min brought the young lady out, he managed to suppress his discomfort and hide his emotions from his face.
"Let me see, what kind of people did you pick for me? Are there only these three?"
