Ruan Qing glared fiercely at the maid boy and forcefully wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand.
It seemed he wanted to erase any trace of the maid boy’s presence.
Ruan Qing’s thin lips had become extremely red and even a bit swollen from the maid boy’s kiss.
Adding to this, he wiped the blood so vigorously that the skin at the corners of his mouth turned a shade redder, making him look both captivating and alluring.
It was as if he was inviting sin.
It was very hard to encounter others in the maze, especially in the middle layers of the maze. Even if someone knew they were here, it would be difficult to find the way.
It seemed they could do anything.
But the maid boy suppressed the darkness in his eyes and blinked at Ruan Qing, “Does the guest prefer idiots?”
“Idiots probably can’t satisfy your physiological needs, right?”
In the gambling arena of Area Two of the Life and Death Casino, not to mention a forced kiss, even killing someone didn’t violate the rules.
And purely in terms of combat ability, Ruan Qing didn’t stand a chance.
Ruan Qing said nothing, nor did he express any dissatisfaction. He just turned and walked away.
Seeing this, the maid boy immediately followed and spoke in a light tone, “Guest, are you angry?”
“But I saved you. It’s only natural for you to repay me. Why are you angry?”
The maid boy thought for a moment, tilting his head uncertainly. “Could it be that the guest actually prefers vines?”
“Although vines can indeed do things humans can’t and can provide more pleasure, I think the guest wouldn’t be able to endure it.”
“Besides, vines have no warmth at all. How could they be better than humans?”
Ruan Qing ignored the maid boy the whole time, but the maid boy didn’t seem to need his response, talking more and more animatedly to himself.
He even became so excessive that it was enough to make one’s ears turn red and heart race.
“What position does the guest prefer? Riding or rear entry?”
“Personally, I prefer...”
“Boom.” The door in front of Ruan Qing was opened by him, cutting off what the maid boy was about to say.
Ruan Qing walked straight through.
Seeing this, the maid boy immediately prepared to follow.
However, before he could step through the open door, the entire maze began to shake.
The maze began to change.
Since Ruan Qing had already entered through the door, while the maid boy was still on the other side, they were clearly in different passages.
Naturally, they wouldn’t end up in the same place.
The maid boy stared for a moment at the tall walls that appeared in front of him, then he couldn’t help but smile, his lips curling slightly.
How clever.
To shake him off, Ruan Qing had calculated the timing of the maze’s change and only opened the door during the shift.
Moreover, he had shown no signs of any unusual behavior throughout, so much so that even the maid boy hadn’t noticed his intentions.
After all, in this maze, an unarmed person usually wouldn’t dare to walk alone.
It’s rare to encounter someone capable, so they should always worry about being left behind.
Yet now, he was the one left behind.
The maid boy touched the dead end in front of him and brushed his lips as if they still retained some warmth and sensation.
He was indeed angry.
Then he should give him a little surprise as an apology.
***
Ruan Qing had indeed timed the opening of the door perfectly, ensuring that as long as they were not in the same passage, the maze’s changes would place them in different spaces.
The fact proved his success.
Ruan Qing watched the high walls separate him from the maid boy and let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief.
Then someone grabbed him from behind and pulled him back.
Ruan Qing, completely unprepared, stiffened all over and widened his eyes in shock.
When he saw who had pulled him, Ruan Qing relaxed.
It was Han Ze, whom he had been separated from.
Han Ze pulled Ruan Qing over and immediately reached out, frantically wanting to check if Ruan Qing was injured, “Are you alright? Are you hurt?”
“Did you encounter any danger?”
Han Ze’s voice carried fear and trembling, his eyes red, clearly extremely worried.
After they had been separated, Han Ze was already very uneasy, fearing that the young man would get into trouble.
This unease peaked when he couldn’t contact the young man at all, and he was almost constantly in a state of fear and dread.
It was a fear greater than thinking he was about to die.
He was afraid that something would happen to the young man before he found him.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, this person was still alive.
When Han Ze saw Ruan Qing shaking his head, his eyes reddened, and he fiercely pulled him into his arms.
Ruan Qing did not push Han Ze away, nor did he struggle. Instead, his always tense spirit relaxed a little, quietly letting Han Ze hold him.
Although the maze was extremely dangerous, at this moment, it seemed as if the world had quieted down.
Han Ze held him for two or three minutes without letting go, and it was only when Ruan Qing gently pushed him, indicating that he should let go, that Han Ze reluctantly loosened his grip.
Han Ze’s fear and dread had dissipated the moment he held Ruan Qing, but the person in his arms was soft and fragrant, even more comfortable than hugging the softest quilt, and Han Ze was reluctant to let go.
So he kept holding on, and his handsome face blushed slightly.
It was only after Ruan Qing pushed him that Han Ze reluctantly let go, only to see Ruan Qing’s slightly swollen thin lips.
Han Ze frowned, “What’s wrong with your mouth? Are you hurt?”
Ruan Qing gently touched it, then lightly shook his head. “Just got bitten by a mosquito, and I’m allergic.”
Han Ze believed him. He secretly glanced at Ruan Qing’s red lips, not knowing what he was thinking, but his handsome face blushed even more.
Having been separated once, Han Ze dared not let go of Ruan Qing this time, afraid that he would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
The two walked towards the outer part of the maze while looking for flags.
Since they were heading towards the outer part of the maze, they basically didn’t encounter any major danger this time.
The two of them worked together, one using physical strength and the other using brainpower, and soon found nine flags.
Ruan Qing directly took Han Ze to find the last flag.
But this time, after finding it, he didn’t let Han Ze take it. Instead, he had Han Ze remember the flag’s location.
After Han Ze escorted him out of the maze, he would return to retrieve the last flag.
When the last flag was obtained, there would be a voice announcement for the entire gambling session, and by then, everyone participating would know that Han Ze and he have collected all ten flags.
They would undoubtedly become the target of everyone’s attention.
So he couldn’t leave with Han Ze; otherwise, he would be a burden to Han Ze.
Han Ze had no objections and obediently escorted Ruan Qing out first.
Since there would be no announcement for nine flags, and there was no rule that one couldn’t leave the maze without having all ten flags.
Therefore, Han Ze escorted Ruan Qing out smoothly, and after taking Ruan Qing to the exit, he immediately returned to the maze.
To get the last flag.
In less than half an hour, a cold electronic voice echoed throughout the maze, announcing three times in a row.
[Attention all gamblers. Team Five has successfully obtained ten flags.]
