As he was being dragged, Ruan Qing’s eyes widened instantly, his heart skipped a beat once again, and his voice abruptly stopped.
The walls of the maze were exceptionally high, so high that there were wind walls that couldn’t be climbed over.
Gamblers who entered the maze had to find their way below; if they tried to climb over the high walls, they would hit those invisible walls.
However, those walls were as if non-existent for the green vines; the green vines could grow and traverse freely over the high walls.
Taking the shortest route, they surged directly towards the depths of the maze.
Because the green vines were moving so fast, the wind made it uncomfortable for Ruan Qing to even open his eyes.
But in mid-air, he could also see the layout of the maze; the maze was covered with these green vines.
And the roots of the green vines... were in the depths of the maze.
Rather than saying the green vines grew in the maze, it was more accurate to say the maze existed because of the green vines.
That terrifying oppressive force was also very likely due to the green vines, rather than the maze itself.
The maze was restricting others from entering its depths and also confining the monsters within from leaving.
It also provided a foundation for the growth of the green vines.
This maze might actually be the core of the Life and Death Casino dungeon.
And this core had nothing to do with the players; once a player mistakenly entered here, there was almost no chance of clearing it.
Ruan Qing’s heart sank uncontrollably, and he pressed his lips tightly together.
Han Ze was already very close to where he had been, but Ruan Qing was being taken deeper into the maze by the green vines.
If this continued, he might never be able to leave.
The tablet had already fallen; without the tablet, it was impossible to exchange items in the Life and Death Casino’s shop.
But Ruan Qing had exchanged items from the shop from the beginning.
Just as Ruan Qing was about to give up on this gamble and use the teleportation item from the Life and Death Casino’s shop to leave, the green vine binding him was suddenly cut.
Ruan Qing stared at the severed vine with wide eyes, his pupils constricting, and his heart stopped.
He wasn’t moved because someone saved him, but because when the green vines were cut, golden yellow sap would flow out.
And he... couldn’t dodge in time.
He didn’t even have time to use teleportation.
Strangely, this time, the green vines didn’t ooze golden yellow sap; instead, they fell to the ground along with Ruan Qing.
It was as if they suddenly became normal plants.
Ruan Qing didn’t have time to think about why, because he was falling.
The high walls of the maze were at least ten meters high, and with the vines being taller than the maze, the height was at least fifteen meters. If he fell from such a height, he would surely die.
However, Ruan Qing did not hit the ground, because a figure not far away leaped up and caught him.
Ruan Qing looked at the person holding him, his beautiful eyes filled with a hint of astonishment.
The maid boy looked at the person in his arms and showed a bright smile. “Sir, do you need any special services?”
Ruan Qing seemed to be scared stiff, just staring at the maid boy without saying a word.
The maid boy tilted his head and gently asked, “Frightened?”
But this time, the maid boy didn’t wait for Ruan Qing to respond. He hugged Ruan Qing tightly and leaped backward, instantly covering a distance of more than ten meters.
The golden yellow sap from the green vines that the maid boy had just cut off began to restore itself.
The maid boy didn’t linger in the fight but quickly rushed toward the outer layer of the maze with Ruan Qing in his arms.
After restoring, the green vines swayed a few times, seeming both like they wanted to chase after them and like they didn’t.
Ruan Qing glanced back at the now motionless green vines and finally let the maid boy carry him away.
Although the green vines covered most of the maze, apart from that one area that came to life, the other vines didn’t seem to have come to life.
The maid boy carried Ruan Qing through without any abnormal occurrences, and they didn’t encounter any danger along the way.
It could be said they were very fortunate.
When the maid boy reached a dead end, he put Ruan Qing down.
The maid boy smiled slightly at Ruan Qing, “Sir, entering the maze alone is very dangerous.”
Ruan Qing pressed his lips together and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”
The maid boy laughed lightly. “The guest should understand, right? Saying thank you isn’t enough.”
Hearing this, Ruan Qing took out some gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the maid boy in front of him.
The maid boy raised an eyebrow at the gold coins in Ruan Qing’s hand. “Are you sure your life is worth just these few coins?”
Before entering the gambling game, Ruan Qing had exchanged for many things, and he had spent almost all of his gold coins. There weren’t many left in his pocket at this moment.
So, although the gold coins in his hand were almost all he had, they were actually less than a hundred.
Ruan Qing handed over the gold coins again. “I’ll owe you the rest for now. I’ll give it to you after the gambling game.”
The maid boy laughed again. “Guest, I don’t support credit here.”
“Since you can’t pay,” the maid boy said, pressing lightly on Ruan Qing’s shoulder and pushing him against the wall.
“Then I’ll have to take it myself.”
The maid boy finished speaking, grabbed Ruan Qing’s chin, and kissed him before Ruan Qing had time to react.
The maid boy’s actions were too fast and without any warning. Ruan Qing only realized what had happened when he felt the warm and moist touch on his lips.
Ruan Qing’s eyes widened. He clenched his teeth and tried hard to push the maid boy away.
He turned his head to the side to avoid the maid boy’s kiss.
However, the maid boy gripped Ruan Qing’s chin firmly, giving him no chance to escape.
Ruan Qing’s strength was completely insufficient to push the maid boy away. After all, the maid boy had the ability to cut through green vines, so how could he be easily pushed away by Ruan Qing?
The maid boy gently licked Ruan Qing’s thin lips. Once Ruan Qing’s lips were covered with his scent, he squeezed Ruan Qing’s chin slightly, forcing him to open his mouth a bit.
Then he directly extended his tongue excessively, no longer just lightly licking, but taking the opportunity to invade Ruan Qing’s teeth and grind wantonly against his lips.
With something foreign in his mouth, Ruan Qing used all his strength and bit down hard without any mercy.
The maid boy didn’t pull back, allowing Ruan Qing to bite down.
The next second after Ruan Qing bit down, a faint taste of blood spread in his mouth, but the person kissing him continued to behave excessively, wantonly grinding and licking against his lips.
Blood seeped from the corners of both their mouths, dripping down, with the crimson color starkly contrasting against Ruan Qing’s fair, jade-like skin.
Ruan Qing’s breath was completely taken away, making it hard for him to breathe. His delicate porcelain-white face turned red due to lack of oxygen.
The maid boy finally let go of Ruan Qing.
He reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, then spoke with a carefree smile, “It seems the guest needs more practice with their technique.”
maid boy is a little suspicious, ngl
