Sylus exclaimed as he looked at An Jiaxin with sparkling eyes, completely unaware of the danger behind him.
"Do you want to ruin your life just for some food?" Liam shouted back at him, but a voice came from front.
"Do you want me to take care of your heart?"
"..."
Both of them lowered their heads when they accidentally caught the smug and laughing expression on Mo Xuan's face, who seemed to be mocking them.
'You don't know my girl at all.'
"Miss Queen, what is this?" Myra was curious to know the name of the dessert that the girl suggested to her.
"It's called 'Sweet & Salty Truffle Pie', delicious isn't it?" An Jiaxin said as she saw the cute elf eat.
"It's very delicious! It's my first time trying a dessert like this, thank you so much!" Myra truly felt grateful to Ethereal as she smiled at the girl, which made her feel embarrassed.
"Don't say that, it's just some regular pie." she rubbed the back of her head as she said with a little embarrassed tone.
"By the way, why don't we become friends?" An Jiaxin laughed as she squished the elf's cheeks.
This was a great time to make a proper introduction, since she already caught their heart by feeling their stomach!
"I'm Myra, a half elf and a magician."
"Sylus, one of the strongest wolves from the Byzantine Wolf Tribe! I'm good at fighting and direction too!" The wolf boy introduced himself excitedly as he boasted.
"And you?"
"I'm just a servant of the Goddess of Justice, thy name is Kilian." The priest introduced himself with a calm and short speech.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" An Jiaxin turned at the red head as she asked with a provocative smile.
"Liam, a swordsman." He looked away to remain calm, although she noticed his anger by looking at his fist.
"You guys should eat too, by then I'll go have a talk with Mr. Reaper.'' With that, three plates of pie appeared before the three guys as they looked at each other.
Mo Xuan was sitting in a corner far away from them, so An Jiaxin walked towards him as she sat down by his side.
"So… what now? Did you find out something, Mr. Mo?"
"Nothing."
"Then?"
"We have to find the scammer that sent us the quest message."
"Of course we will do that, but you know Mr. Mo, I feel like this is also a reality."
"How?"
"Our body and mind, both are present here. And as the game rule presents, if we die here, we can't go back."
"..."
"...Don't do anything, I'll take care of the monsters. Anyway, this quest this time is a long one, are you sure you can hold on?"
"I can't sit for the situation to get even more bad either."
"Promise me, if there is too much of a dangerous situation arises, then you'll run away."
"Hmm… ok."
Hah!
Mo Xuan ruffled his hair as things didn't match here at all.
"But, Mr. Mo. Did you get the changes in your skills chart?"
"I did add some new skills."
"It's as if they clearly point out to us to take care of them and turn them into pros!"
"You mean, you want me to take care of these noobs like a Mom or what?"
"It's what it is, you have to do this if you want to get back, remember it." A faint smile appeared in Mo Xuan's face as he raised his hand and tugged her hair behind her ears.
"Besides, you have me by your side, don't you? Why are you getting so worried over something like that?"
'Why? Because I'm worried that you might leave me! What will I do if my golden thigh abandons me?'
Even if Mo Xuan was helping to carry out her task, there is no way he will forever do the same. An Jianxin needed to take a close look at him from time to time so that if any dissatisfaction arises, she can deal with that quickly.
Of course she would never admit it! After all, she didn't have a death wish, and she also instinctively knew that if she were to mess with the wrong person, then she would have no choice but to give up her life.
"You ask why, Mr. Mo? Or is it that you really don't know?" An Jiaxins acting skills turned on pretty quick as her eyes filled with tears in an instant.
Mo Xuan was baffled by her sudden cry as he didn't know what to do.
'Why is she crying all of a sudden? I didn't do anything just now!'
"I don't know when you will abandon me after you see how useless I am, of course I need to get strong and have power to protect myself in the future!"
'Now I see why she suddenly started crying, so she thought i didn't know that she has been using me as a shield and now is trying to pull strings of emotion and responsibility. She really is such a cunning fox!'
Mo Xuan snorted coldly which startled An Jiaxin.
'What was that? Just now, did his expression change for a moment?'
'If you like to play so much, surprisingly, I'm also quite good at acting! Let's wait and see how long she can continue this fake acting.'
For some reason, Mo Xuan felt the dark emotion rise through his heart, clouding his thoughts and rationality.
Perhaps, somewhere deep inside his heart, he wanted to see someone who would truly understand his heart and walk side by side, along the dangerous path of life.
He didn't yet understand his feelings he had for An Jiaxin, but right now he wasn't able to contain the bitter emotions in his heart as he suddenly hugged her within his chest, squeezing her body tightly within his arms.
'W-what's going on?'
An Jiaxin was startled once more by his sudden actions, but a seemingly cold voice whispered in her ears that gave her chills down her spine.
