115: Chapter 115: The Rose Opera House (Sixteen)

Seeing this, she became curious about what was behind the door.

"How about we push it open and see?" Mo Yu suggested tentatively.

"But didn't they say before not to go above the second floor?" An Xuan said with a worried look.

"You don't have to go." Mo Yu stared at An Xuan, looking serious.

To be fair, she hadn't told him to go, had she?

...

An Xuan fell silent.

Why did he feel like she didn't like him?

If Mo Yu could hear his inner thoughts, she would be even more speechless.

She just thought he was a bit noisy, that was all.

"I, I was just trying to be helpful..." An Xuan's eyes showed grievance. The NPC named Mary had said before that to go up, one had to become a Rose Girl.

He didn't say anything further, just waited quietly to one side.

Qian Ye ignored the two of them, swung the hong ling umbrella, and smashed it directly against the door. With a "bang," the door remained unchanged.

Mo Yu looked at the umbrella in Qian Ye's hand, a flash of realization crossing her eyes.

It seemed this umbrella was a high-level item; she wondered if it was S-rank.

She had heard that S-rank items came with skills, though she didn't know if that was true.

On Qian Ye's side, just as Mo Yu thought she had given up, the hong ling umbrella left her hand and hovered in mid-air.

The next second, it slammed into the door rapidly. The speed was so fast that the human eye could barely see a blurred shadow, and the door gradually began to crack.

At the same time, those vines became more agitated, flying around incessantly, and the vines on the first floor also turned and flew toward the second floor.

In an instant, the entire second floor was wrapped in countless, dense vines. The players on the first floor had no idea what was happening.

They could only see all the vines stopping and heading straight for the second floor.

"Did something happen on the second floor?" asked Hermione, looking up at the second floor with a puzzled expression.

Liu Ran, who was nearby, shook her head and looked down at the wounds on her body, which were covered in bloody welts from the vines.

"It seems to be her!"

"Who?"

Hermione looked at the monk in surprise; listening to his tone, it seemed he knew who had gone up.

"I vaguely saw Mo Yu and An Xuan go up just now," the monk said, scratching his head.

However, he hadn't had time to look closely, just seeing them heading in the direction of the second floor.

The players on the first floor all focused their eyes on the second floor, but the vines obscured it completely, making it impossible to see anything.

Just then, the sound of constant collision attracted their attention.

"It's her!"

"It's that umbrella!"

Upstairs, the hovering hong ling umbrella, emitting a faint red light, broke through the surrounding vines.

Exposed to everyone's eyes, this made them realize that Qian Ye was also up there.

"What is she doing?"

"Smashing the door?"

The monk scratched his head, looking bewildered.

"What!"

"The NPC said before that we couldn't go up for now; she is endangering us!"

As soon as Hao Ming said this, the expressions of the other players changed.

"Then what should we do?"

They couldn't go up now; Liu Ran looked at the entire staircase and the second floor, which were covered in dense vines.

The pain on her body told her not to provoke them again.

"Let's wait and see."

After saying this, the few of them kept a close watch on the movement upstairs.

Upstairs. Mo Yu stared at the cracks on the door. Was this door really that sturdy?

But this umbrella was not just ordinarily sturdy either.

As her thoughts were scattered, suddenly a shrill female voice rang out from all around.

"Hehehe..."

"You... are you prepared?"

"Are you willing to become a Rose Girl?"

"Giggle, giggle..."

"If you want to enter, then become a Rose Girl!"

"Come!"

"You will find happiness just ahead..."

The voice was shrill, yet mixed with seduction, tugging at the heartstrings with every sound.

The next instant, the sound of a distant opera began to play. It seemed to drift near and far.

It carried a bewitching quality.

"Okay..."

As the music continued, An Xuan's eyes went hollow, and he agreed unconsciously.

Mo Yu was drawn by that sound and looked at him, only to see him staring forward and beginning to step toward it.

In front of him, there were clearly dense vines.

With his movements, Qian Ye clearly felt that these vines were exuding an aura of pleasure.

They were quietly approaching An Xuan little by little.

"Yes~"

"Just like that..."

"My girl..."

"You are wonderful!"

The voice continued.

Seeing him getting closer and closer to those vines, Mo Yu finally took action, hacking away the vines that were quietly appearing.

Her actions angered the surrounding vines, and they began to attack her.

Mo Yu shouted while hacking.

"An Xuan!"

"An Xuan!"

"Wake up!"

Mo Yu shouted twice, but there was no response.

"Shh, be quiet."

"We can watch and see what it looks like to become a Rose Girl, can't we?"

Qian Ye held the hong ling umbrella, watching An Xuan head toward the center of the vines with a half-smile, but she made no move.

Mo Yu stared at Qian Ye in astonishment.

She couldn't believe she had said that. This was a human life!

Hearing her words, she felt as if all the blood in her body was about to freeze.

It was the first time she realized that she was such a cold-blooded person.

Qian Ye didn't look at her, or perhaps she saw her expression and didn't want to pay it any mind.

She watched with interest as An Xuan was gradually being swallowed by the vines.

Mo Yu usually seemed a bit cold, but she wouldn't stand by and watch someone die at a time like this; she hacked frantically at the surrounding vines, still calling An Xuan's name incessantly.

But it was useless.

Mo Yu gritted her teeth and prepared to rush into the vines.

But there were more and more vines around, and soon, she too was surrounded.

— —

"Saving someone and getting yourself trapped, that's quite something."

Mo Yu clearly heard Qian Ye's voice by her ear. She opened her eyes to see Qian Ye looking at her with a faint smile on her lips.

Mo Yu sat up abruptly. "Where is An Xuan?"

Qian Ye raised an eyebrow, "I didn't expect you to have such a warm heart."

Tossing her head, Mo Yu saw An Xuan lying to the side, and the vines were no longer around.

"This is..." What happened?

Mo Yu was a bit bewildered.

Qian Ye glanced at her, "I was just joking, did you have to..."

"Be so reckless?"

Hearing this, Mo Yu glared at her. Was there anyone who joked around with human lives like that?

Qian Ye shrugged.

Just the right bait.

Almost...

Fortunately, these vines were too impatient.

"Where are those vines?"

Mo Yu looked around; there was not a trace of those vines, not even the ones she had hacked off; there were no marks on the ground.

"Ah, they must have been sent back to the furnace to be remade."

Qian Ye looked at the door.

Mo Yu turned back and saw that the door had opened. From where she was, it was pitch black inside; she couldn't see anything.

"Are you guys okay..."

A sudden voice came from the stairs. It was Hao Ming, the monk, and the others from the first floor. Since the vines were gone, they naturally came up.

They glanced at Mo Yu on the ground, then looked at Qian Ye from time to time.

They seemed hesitant to speak.

Mo Yu saw their gazes lingering on Qian Ye. Sure enough, the disappearance of the vines must have had something to do with her.

Liu Ran looked at Qian Ye with a complex expression; they had just witnessed what a slaughterhouse scene looked like.

Those vines had been instantly killed by her.

They were all forced back into that door, disappearing without a trace.

They had still underestimated her combat power.
