Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1342 Sister, Please Marry Me

After Qiu Xinli retreated, the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Although the process was extremely tortuous and dangerous, it took only half an hour from the time Qiu Xinli appeared to the time she left.

This period of time is not enough for the people from the Sorens family to catch up - even those from the Universal General Chamber of Commerce may take the initiative to avoid this place.

Although there was a lot of noise here, Qiu Xinli was indeed intentionally disguising this place as the scene of an "alchemical energy runaway" accident.

The more experienced the wilderness pioneers are, the more likely they are to avoid places where the alchemical energy looks unfavorable.

and so……

Qiu Xinli's arrival made them more relaxed.

After all, Qiu Xinli even killed the security personnel stationed here, so that they no longer needed to remain stealthily here.

of course……

Although the current dilemma has been resolved, Huo Xing of Buyetian is not happy at all.

"Really? Now my strength is completely exposed." With raccoons crawling all over her body, Buyetian Huoxing walked in front of the crowd and sighed, "Sister Buyetian Huoming, can you keep this a secret from Mother?"

The "Pure White Lady" returned to the underground after Qiu Xinli retreated, but the raccoons that came over stayed with Huo Xing in the Nightless Sky.

After what happened just now, Buyetian Huoming and Dongming Suliu have fully realized the power of Buyetian Huoxing, and naturally chose to let Buyetian Huo lead the way.

This is also a headache for Buyetian Huoxing - obviously, Buyetian Huoxing is very resistant to taking responsibility.

But fortunately, Huo Ming of Buyetian was very loyal: "Don't worry, you saved our lives from Qiu Xinli, how could I betray you?"

Buyetian Huoxing looked at Buyetian Huoming and gave him a thumbs-up. "Sister, it's really great that you think this way... After all, if Mother knew this, I'd have no choice but to tell her that you were secretly preparing the 'Alchemy Hand' ritual in the Great Wilderness."

Huo Ming's expression changed slightly: "How did you know this?"

"I've known this for a long time. I'm not threatening you on purpose. It's just that I feel our relationship has taken a step forward, so I can tell you that 'I know your situation,'" said Huo Xing, looking at Huo Ming's nervous expression. She finally smiled with relief. "You already know that I'm the 'Fairy Queen'... So, dear Sister Huo Ming, those secret materials you prepared through the Outer City Society... after removing the interference factors, it's easy to find that they are the 'Alchemy Hand'."

"But don't worry, I'm the only one who knows about this. After all, those people in the society don't master alchemy, and the nobles in the inner city don't know what you did in the outer city."

As Buyetian Huoxing said this, Buyetian Huoming hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then I still have to thank you for keeping it a secret for me."

But her expression was still a little forced - although she did not doubt Buyetian Huoxing too much, her secret plan was suddenly exposed by an unexpected guy, which still made Buyetian Huoming think about whether there might be more loopholes that she was not aware of.

"You're welcome. And you see, after keeping it a secret for so long, now it's coming in handy—but I have to make it clear again, I'm really not threatening you."

Huo Xing from Buyetian said with a smile.

No matter what Buyetian Huoming thought, Lin Yu believed that Buyetian Huoxing was definitely not threatening Buyetian Huoming.

Because he could see that Buyetian Huoxing was obviously using this matter as a means to "change her mood" - the most fundamental purpose of her telling this matter was simply because she was forced to reveal her bad mood due to her own strength, so she needed to make Buyetian Huoming fall into some kind of uneasy mood in order to alleviate her unhappiness.

After Buyetian Huoxing was satisfied, Dongming Suliu, who had somewhat misunderstood her meaning, also spoke.

"Respected Lord Huo Xing of Buyetian... I think you should worry more about Qiu Xinli than about the boss and I leaking the secret to the Patriarch."

"As your enemy, she will definitely report your concealment of your strength to the Qiu family, and she will most likely release the news herself."

Huo Xing sighed, her brightening mood plummeting again at Dongming Suliu's reminder. "Of course I know that... However, if the Qiu family leaks any news, we'll just dismiss it as a rumor disrupting the stability of the Buyetian family. Anyway, after Sister Huo Ming reports back, we should be escalating our relationship with the Divine Power Group and the Qiu family to a wartime level."

Lin Yu said soothingly, "It's hard to say. Qiu Xinli might only reveal this to the upper echelons of the Qiu family and continue to keep it a secret for you. After all, for the Qiu family, the internal factional struggle is more critical right now. If the news gets out... no matter what channel it's released through, the Shuiyin family will definitely know about it immediately."

"If I were the head of the Qiu family, I would hope that the Shuiyin family would suffer a loss in their strategy against you and thus conceal this news."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Buyetian Huoxing touched his chin and said, "Well, that does make sense... Now I feel much more at ease - thank you, Arthur."

"If you hadn't pretended to be nearly dead and exposed me, I would be grateful to you from the bottom of my heart."

Buyetian Huoxing looked at Lin Yu and said softly.

Lin Yu looked innocent: "What are you talking about? I almost died at that time."

Buyetian Huoxing sneered: "Even if you deceived me then, it's too naive to continue deceiving me now. The way you got up so quickly afterwards didn't look like you were dying at all."

"You're obviously a friend, but you're hiding your strength from me. How despicable!"

Lin Yu spread his hands: "I just have a fast recovery ability... And as for 'hiding your strength', haven't you always been deliberately showing a combat power that is much lower than your actual combat power?"

"You still say things like 'If Qiu Xinli doesn't take the artifact, we can fight her 70% to 30%'."

Huo Xing curled her lips: "I didn't say that if she got the artifact, it wouldn't be a 70-30 split."

"This is called inducement fraud."

Lin Yu said bluntly.

Deliberately telling half the truth to create the effect of a lie, displaying one's strength in several layers like a nesting doll...

The Nevernight Fire Apricot is indeed very good at "disguising" itself.

If the method she used was not what Lin Yu usually used, Lin Yu might not be able to see it.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Huo Ming from Buyetian couldn't help but sigh.

"Director Arthur, I didn't expect you and Huo Xing have such a good relationship..."

As Huo Ming finished speaking, Dong Ming Su Liu looked at Fu Luo and jokingly said, "So, it is possible that Sir Arthur and Sir Forboluo will become brothers-in-law?"

After these words were spoken, the remaining four people all looked at Dongming Shuliu.

"What disrespectful nonsense are you talking about, Suliu... Even for Dahuang, your words are too scary."

Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky said helplessly.

Dongming Shuliu shrugged: "There's no one else around anyway, and Lord Huoxing of Buyetian doesn't look like someone who would mind such a thing."

Huo Xing waved her hands: "I really don't mind, but Arthur and I are really just friends who have just known each other for a short time..."

"So, there should be only one candidate for the son-in-law of the Buyetian family."

Lin Yu coughed twice and clarified for Fu Luo: "Mr. Dongming, don't you know that Mr. Forboluo is closer to the current head of the family?"

"Having said that, I think if, I mean if, the position of the Patriarch is inherited by Miss Huo Le in the future, perhaps she will inherit more than just the position of Patriarch."

Dongming Shuliu spoke, subconsciously lowering his voice and muttering, "This was quite common among the nobles a hundred years ago, but it has become less common in recent years."

Fu Luo finally couldn't help it, his face flushed as he said, "You guys can just tease me from time to time, but don't really think I'm some gigolo - I'm an aide... Although I might be close to a jester sometimes, I'm definitely not in that sense!"

"Arthur, please help me clarify this."

Lin Yu nodded and said in a very mechanical tone, "Yes, Lord Forboluo relied entirely on his own wisdom and talent to gain the trust and appreciation of the patriarch, and in turn, the trust of the respected Lord Huo Le of Buyetian."

Dongming Shuliu nodded: "Yeah, so that's how it is. I completely understand."

Huo Ming of Buyetian was also somewhat annoyed. "Dongming Shuliu, please tone it down a bit. I'm really afraid that one day you'll get used to your usual nonsense and say something fatal in the city, or get drunk."

Dongming Shuliu gave a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, sir. I won't have many chances to enter the city in my lifetime."

Huo Xing touched his chin and said, "Hey, but I just thought about it seriously. Arthur, if you really marry me..."

"Don't even think about it."

Lin Yu said firmly.

"Well, that's a shame. I was going to give you a raccoon if you agreed."

Huo Xing raised her hands high and brushed them from the top of her head over all the raccoons clinging to her like they were riding a train with hanging tickets, and said with a wink.

Fu Luo complained: "This condition is totally unattractive."

Huo Ming shook his head. "Mr. Forbolo, you still don't understand alchemical creations very well... These raccoons possess abundant alchemical energy. The alchemical creations in each one are probably no less than those of an elite pioneer team member."

"In other words, this condition... is actually very sincere."

Huo Xing smiled and said, "Family members are the ones who know what they are talking about—so, sister, how about we get married?"

Buyetian Huoming, who was originally helping Buyetian Huoxing explain, could no longer hold back.

"Buyetian Huoxing, do you want to listen to what nonsense you are talking about?"
