Here is a polished version of the excerpt in English:
The water ghost's eyes subtly shifted, and a hint of suspicion appeared on his damp, pallid face.
"Did something happen before you entered the resort?" he asked, his voice cautious.
"Well..." Several female players seemed nervous, unsure whether to speak up or remain silent.
"Speak! This is an order!" the water ghost snapped, his tone suddenly firm.
"Y-Yes!"
Given the malevolent aura from the water ghost, the female players knew they had no choice but to speak up.
Without hesitation, they spilled everything, telling him all the details of the events that had transpired.
After listening, the water ghost's expression turned somewhat peculiar.
He had worked as the pool manager at the Dead Resort for a long time, encountering a wide range of creatures and conniving human staff.
From his brief encounter with Yi Bai, he had already judged that the individual was not the type to pick fights without reason, someone who wielded power maliciously.
Yet, despite this, Yi Bai had killed a fellow player with no clear warning or reason.
"There's something off..."
The water ghost mused to himself, but then quickly shrugged it off.
Whatever the problem was, it wasn't his concern.
A smart creature knew to stay out of the affairs of higher-ups. Probing into their secrets could be fatal.
He turned to the trembling female players and grinned darkly.
"No matter what excuses or reasons you have, now, immediately, you will go and serve Young Master Yin. His demands must be met without question!"
"If you defy him, hehehe... there are punishments in this resort far worse than death..."
He smiled menacingly, "Oh, and mind your words. Do as Young Master Yin instructs. If he gives no orders, stay silent and do not act recklessly!"
"Making guesses about the intentions of higher-ups is a good way to get yourself killed quickly."
It was more of a warning, or perhaps, a piece of advice—though not one given out of concern for them.
The water ghost only didn't want his actions to upset Young Master Yin.
The four female players were trembling uncontrollably, their fear barely held in check as they nodded in compliance.
With a smile plastered on his face, the water ghost turned and led the four players toward Yi Bai.
Nearby, two male players tasked with cleaning were watching, one of them seething with fury.
"Brother Niu, that employee is taking your girlfriend to meet that so-called Young Master Yin!"
Beside Niu Feichen, a shorter player named Bai Yu whispered, prodding his shoulder.
"I saw it! No need to remind me!" Niu Feichen gritted his teeth, his voice low and clipped, his mood clearly dark.
When he first entered the game and saw his girlfriend, he'd been happy, thinking he'd finally found someone he could trust.
But then... things took a sharp turn.
The task distribution didn't give them a chance to even speak to one another, let alone get close.
And when Niu Feichen saw his girlfriend in a revealing swimsuit, he realized something wasn't right.
That damn ghost had made his girlfriend into a tool?!
It was like a cold wind swept through his mind, a sense of impending doom settling over him.
Unfortunately, he had no choice. He didn't have the strength to challenge anyone here. His job was cleaning, and anything beyond that was forbidden.
Any misstep could lead to the excuse for a creature to kill him.
In the face of such a choice—his girlfriend's safety or his own survival—he reluctantly chose to prioritize his own life, telling himself he would find a way to save her later.
But then... he saw a scene that ignited his fury even more.
That damn ghost employee was leading his girlfriend and the other female players to meet that "Young Master Yin."
Why?
The intentions were obvious, and they didn't take a genius to figure out.
"Brother Niu, actually..." Bai Yu saw Niu Feichen's anger bubbling over and hurriedly tried to comfort him.
Since the two of them were the only ones responsible for cleaning, if Niu Feichen went off to die, Bai Yu would be left alone, making his own survival even more difficult.
"I know you're angry, but your girlfriend going to serve Young Master Yin doesn't necessarily mean she'll be doing anything... inappropriate."
"Besides, with his status, if she manages to please him, he might give her something valuable. Who knows, maybe it will improve your situation?"
"Even if something does happen, look at it as a way to build a connection. You might be able to use it to get yourself out of this mess later, right?"
"You know, Brother Niu, the world of this game is like being forced into something—you can't resist it, so you might as well accept it. Who knows, you could end up living a better life!"
Bai Yu's words only made Niu Feichen's veins bulge, his temper rising, yet the intense will to survive forced him to calm down.
In fact, he even began to accept some of the words, a strange idea quietly growing in the back of his mind.
"You're right. I should stay calm. Getting angry won't solve anything."
Niu Feichen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"Am I not the Chancellor, yet I am expected to act as one?"
Reclining in a lounge chair, Yi Bai couldn't help but sigh as he watched the water ghost approach, leading the female players.
From the clear hostility not far away, Yi Bai could sense it.
He quietly sent a shadow to eavesdrop, and the information he received was quite explosive!
Especially the last words from the man called "Brother Niu."
Yi Bai was stunned.
This guy had been so angry, so full of hostility, and then... with just a few words, he completely surrendered?
Was he really that easily persuaded?
Yi Bai could only silently mutter to himself: Brave Bull, Fearless of Adversity!
He shook his head. There was no way he could act like this in front of others.
After all, he wasn't a chancellor, nor did he have a general like Dian Wei to protect him.
Most importantly... Xier was still talking to Miss Mirror!
If that delicate little loli ever realized that Yi Bai had been playing a game she hadn't played yet behind her back...
Well, the scene was too terrible to imagine.
With Miss Mirror already harboring discontent towards him, the consequences could be devastating if this happened.
It would be a self-inflicted disaster, and he'd have no one to blame.
"Young Master Yin, these are the temporary staff I specifically selected to attend to your needs."
"They are from the same place as you, so they might be more attuned to your habits than we are..."
The water ghost said carefully, his tone laced with obvious flattery.
The four female players behind him were still trembling, their eyes filled with fear.
