Ning Changfeng had once recorded the scene of them being together after the sacred flowers became active. He said, “You, Hua Feng, and Fang Qi, you three young men, after being tormented by the sacred flowers for a whole night, could still laugh.”

At that time, Ning Changfeng looked at their pale smiles with confusion, saying, “Later, I understood a bit. You were devoutly faithful to the Flower God under the rules of that world. Hua Feng, because of his deep love for his brother. The only thing I didn’t understand was Fang Qi—what drove him?”

He was searching for that person, so he had to persevere and come out of that dungeon.

Ning Su blinked, moving his gaze away from Fang Qi’s face, and followed his line of sight to the human pupa canister of the human pupa master.

The human pupa canister had become smaller, returning to the size of a cylindrical barrel that Ning Su had seen at the base. The pupae still stretched their snake-like long neck, probing outward.

They were shrunken versions of normal people, with much less hair on their heads, just a little fetal hair sticking to the moist scalp.

Most of them had their eyes closed, but their eyelids hung loosely without protrusion.

There were no eyeballs in the eye sockets.

The sticky liquid on their bodies dripped down, corroding the floor with a “sizzling” sound.

The surrounding players were frightened and stepped back, only Fang Qi staggered forward, staring closely at one of the pupae.

The young man who had hardly cried despite being tortured by the sacred flower had moist eyes, almost shedding tears.

Ning Su confirmed his terrifying guess.

The person Fang Qi was looking for has indeed entered the infinite game.

He had finally found him.

The person he desperately wanted to find had been turned into a human pupa.

Ning Su suddenly remembered that before entering the <Flower Servant> dungeon, he went to the information house to inquire about housing. In the lobby, he encountered Fang Qi, who was looking for information to find someone. They exchanged a few brief words. When the real estate agent took Ning Su to see the house, he saw Fang Qi again at the door.

They nodded at each other, walked out of the door, one heading south and the other north.

Ning Su hadn’t taken a few steps when he saw a human pupa master for the first time.

Because he had heard about human pupa master many times before, he was curious about her and observed her for a few moments.

At that moment, Fang Qi was staring at the human pupa master he was observing, and Ning Su also noticed it at the time.

Ning Su pursed his lips, feeling a hint of sadness.

Specifically, he didn’t know why he felt sad.

Was it because of a small missed opportunity, or was it for the meeting that was happening right now?

He stepped back to Ling Xiao’s side, clutching the corner of his coat.

Ling Xiao lowered his gaze and glanced at him, holding his hand.

That night, they only quickly placed their hands together, feeling the shared heartbeat. This was the first time they held hands like this.

Ning Su’s fingertips gently pressed on Ling Xiao’s palm, not looking up at him; he was still looking at Fang Qi.

Everyone in the storage room noticed Fang Qi’s abnormality.

Xue Wei noticed too. She followed Fang Qi’s gaze towards her human pupa and raised an eyebrow slightly. “What’s wrong? Do you know one of my human pupae?”

She was surprised and a bit excited. “Oh, that’s quite a coincidence.”

“Let me see.” She glanced again at the direction Fang Qi was staring, “It’s my No. 12 human pupa, not bad.”

Fang Qi took another step forward, unconsciously reaching out with both hands, stepping closer, kneeling in front of the human pupa canister.

“I remember No. 12 human pupa. He looks clean and handsome, doesn’t seem too old, just reached adulthood, still looks like a student.”

“He must have been a very popular guy in school. I always remember his smile, gentle and clean.”

The more Xue Wei spoke, the more excited she became. That night, after seeing the ghost pretending to be her sister, she fell silent for a while, but now she was excited again, more restless than her usual self.

She asked Fang Qi, “Is he a good student? Pretty smart, isn’t he?”

“Ah, a smart and handsome guy. Look at him now.”

The person protruding outward like a pupa no longer resembled a human, more like a creature formed from a combination of human and snake.

Slender and sticky, lacking eyes and ears, just extending its neck to peek outside.

Fang Qi finally started crying; he cradled the pupa’s head in his arms, tears dropping onto the sticky liquid on his hands, corroding them together.

The pupa, constantly poking its head out, suddenly quieted in his embrace.

He opened his mouth, his pale lips paused for a moment, and then closed again.

Xue Wei swallowed saliva, not stopping Fang Qi’s actions. Watching the scene, whether due to excitement or some other reason, she began to tremble.

“Definitely, he must be clean, good-looking, and intelligent. His intelligence is not only evident in academics but also in dungeons.”

“The first time I saw him, his eyes were blurred, half-blind, yet he could come out of a level-three dungeon.”

“I invited him to join the Yongming Guild, but he refused. Well, no matter. I will obtain the pupa I desire. So, I followed him into a dungeon.”

“We entered a campus ghost story dungeon. Whether it restricted his performance or something else, he often daydreamed, giving me more room to excel.”

Xue Wei looked at the young man crying with the pupa in his arms, licked her lips, “Do you know how to make a chrysalis?”

“Do you know about the people in the harem who become pigs? That’s it—remove the ears, cut off the tongue, chop off the extra legs, raise them in a pupa canister, and over time, you’ll cultivate an excellent pupa.”

“In that biological experiment of the campus ghost lord, I turned him into a pupa. He kept staring with his eyes open at the door.”

“Pig in the harem, pig is a pig.”

“Pupa, what do you think a pupa is? Hahaha!”

“I’m going to kill you!!!”

From the initial shock and confusion, Fang Qi snapped back to reality, his face twisted in a fierce and resentful gaze, glaring at Xue Wei.

At the same time, his hand began to petrify; the petrification spread from hand to arm. When it reached the elbow, he fiercely punched the human pupa in the face.

The human pupa master gently turned the human pupa canister in her hand, and the human pupa, just held in Fang Qi’s arms, stretched its neck and darted towards him.

Fang Qi stared at the human pupa in a daze, momentarily forgetting to react.

The pupae raised by the human pupa master were nurtured in an unknown manner; even Shi Tianzhu had her ankle bitten, leaving behind an unforgettable psychological aftermath.

Ning Su pursed his lips, once again using the Heaven-Piercing Silk to pull Fang Qi back, raising his eyes to look at Xue Wei, with a calm yet determined gaze.

“Hey, isn’t this Shi Tianzhu’s Heaven-Piercing Silk?” Xue Wei paused for a moment, licked her lips, and looked at Ning Su with a cold gaze. “Interesting.”

The human pupa canister in her hand started to rotate again. As it gradually enlarged, a bell suddenly rang.

The tense atmosphere in the storage room froze.

No one spoke.

After more than ten seconds, Gu Xinghua trembled and said, “The bell is reminding us that it’s time to go out.”

Still, no one spoke.

When the storage room was particularly quiet, the sounds outside became especially clear.

“Drip, drip, drip.”

The sound of high heels stepping on the deck was getting closer.

As the door of the storage room opened slowly, the face of Miss Driver appeared from outside the door, almost stopping the hearts of the players who had never seen her.

Her snake-like lips curled up slowly. “Please go out.”

The players didn’t hesitate any longer, stiffly walking out.

Miss Driver took a step ahead of them, wearing a lace dress and red 13-centimeter high heels. As she walked, her shiny wavy long hair glittered.

Those troublemaking and fighting corpses were thrown onto the bed by her.

The spider-leg eyelashes blinked gently on the bloody eyeballs, and her snake lips grinned with exaggerated movements. “We’re almost at our destination. Please be prepared, everyone.”

T/N: Man, I hate Xue Wei. -_-
