In the Camp Task, there were a total of three objectives to complete—

① Seduce the Lord of Paradise and raise his affection level to 60.

② Become pregnant and give birth.

③ Rescue the imprisoned hidden player.

’Louis’s affection level is already far beyond that. As for Lou, his should be over 60 by now, right...?’

Yu Zhizhi had forgotten to check recently. She planned to check it when she saw Lou today.

As for the Lord of Paradise, Yu Zhizhi didn’t have high hopes.

’As long as I lock in Lou or Louis when I submit the task, the affection level objective will be complete!’

A smile spread across Yu Zhizhi’s face. When the Bee Clan female saw it, she smiled back.

Arriving at the side hall, she saw a figure waiting outside the door.

Yu Zhizhi suddenly remembered the new function she had unlocked after reaching the Third Level.

’Can I check on the baby’s condition?’

System: Checking life signs... Check complete. Life signs are weak. There are signs of a potential miscarriage. The host is advised to promptly supplement with nutrients and eat proper meals.

Yu Zhizhi’s expression changed slightly. ’Signs of a miscarriage?’

’Is it because I’ve only been drinking Nutrient Liquid and nothing else these past few days? Or was it because we did it too many times on the giant skeleton before...?’

She immediately said, "Ali, I’m so hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes~" the Bee Clan female replied gently. "All squad members are provided with a lavish meal. I was just about to take you there, Miss."

Yu Zhizhi stepped out of the hall. She saw the figure outside but wasn’t sure who it was.

The tall, slender young man had his back to the side hall’s main entrance. He wasn’t wearing his Holy Temple robes today, but had changed into a dark green uniform.

A slight smile touched Yu Zhizhi’s lips. "Lou?"

The young man turned his head slightly, as if in response. "...Mmm."

She walked up to him quickly.

She noticed that Lou’s right eye was wrapped in a bandage, just like when they first met in Paradise. Yu Zhizhi glanced at his emerald-green left eye and confirmed again that it had to be Lou.

’The top three squads in the points ranking are all supposed to be here today.’

Lou started walking forward.

Yu Zhizhi followed, her steps light. "Did you come back earlier? I was still asleep, but I think I saw you."

Lou didn’t respond.

They entered an illusory forest of withered trees. Dark green fireflies were scattered about, and in the distance stood a dark castle, a place Yu Zhizhi had never been to before.

They continued forward.

A green swamp, gurgling and bubbling, appeared on the ground.

Yu Zhizhi stopped.

She saw Lou walk as if on solid ground. When one of his feet landed, a ring of green light automatically appeared, and he stepped on it, not sinking into the swamp at all.

A black crow flew in mid-air. "It’s okay, you won’t fall in."

Yu Zhizhi still didn’t dare.

She tried lifting her right foot, holding it in the air for a long time before putting it back down and lifting her left foot instead.

But no matter which foot, she didn’t dare to step forward.

’The green swamp is bubbling with acid, like it’s corrosive. If I put my foot in, it’ll be swallowed up in an instant!’

The young woman looked pleadingly at the young man who had already reached the other side of the swamp. "Lou..."

Lou had been very silent the entire way.

Yu Zhizhi wasn’t used to it.

Meanwhile, the maid, Ali, had transformed into a small bee, and she and the black crow flanked Yu Zhizhi on her left and right.

For the first time, Yu Zhizhi envied the winged Beastmen.

’They can fly when they’re in their Beast Forms.’

This made her think of Dracula...

’I haven’t seen him in so long. I wonder if he’s doing okay?’

Lou looked back and saw the little female standing frozen before the swamp, her eyes looking at him with hopeful expectation.

He watched her in silence.

Yu Zhizhi called out softly again, "Lou, I’m scared..."

’Such a weak female, can’t even cross a swamp. She has no ability to protect herself. Fragile, delicate... as if she’d break with a single pinch.’

’So this is the little thing Lou likes.’

’I really don’t see what’s so likable about her.’

The Lord of Paradise walked back.

He bent down and picked up the young woman.

Yu Zhizhi wrapped her arms around the young man’s neck. She looked at the white gauze wrapped around the right side of Lou’s face. ’Is his eye injured?’

But it was strange. Lou was exceptionally silent today. Beneath his choppy black hair, his emerald-green left eye was as still as stagnant water.

"What’s wrong?"

Yu Zhizhi couldn’t help but ask, "Did... did *he* bully you?"

The black crow, flying in the air, gave the little female a confused look.

"It’s okay, don’t be sad." Yu Zhizhi leaned into his embrace. "Once the hunting season is over, we’ll leave together."

Yu Zhizhi had seriously considered it. Lou’s proposal was feasible.

First, they would go somewhere safe to ensure she could give birth to the spider baby safely.

When she had first learned of Louis and the others’ true identities, Yu Zhizhi had been stunned for a long time.

’But Louis and Lou have never revealed their Beast Forms in front of me. They must be intentionally controlling it, afraid of scaring me.’

As for the Lord of Paradise...

For those three days, Yu Zhizhi’s eyes had been covered by spider silk. She hadn’t seen anything, but her body had come into contact with the spider’s limbs. The sensation had been horrifying.

The Lord of Paradise shot her a sidelong glance. The little female in his arms was just leaning her head against his chest, oblivious to his expression.

’He knew it.’

’This restless little rabbit, always thinking about luring away his other personalities.’

’Dream on.’

The man stepped onto the swamp, and white sigils spread out along his path. From a distance, it looked like a spiderweb appearing inch by inch.

They arrived safely on the other side.

The Lord of Paradise set the little female down.

After passing through the withered forest, they were met with a blast of scorching miasma, and sparks danced in the air. Yu Zhizhi saw the Flame Castle in the distance, the entire sky dyed red.

Yu Zhizhi silently followed behind Lou.

The black crow flew inside first. The little bee hesitated for a moment before landing on Yu Zhizhi’s shoulder.

As if sensing Miss Turtle’s nervousness and anxiety, Ali whispered comfortingly, "With the Lord Leader here, you will be very safe, Miss."

The Bee Clan female was a little confused. When she had seen Leader Lou yesterday, he had clearly said not to let Miss Turtle come to the site today. She was supposed to be taken to the VIP section to just eat and watch the show.

So why had Leader Lou taken the initiative to bring her here today?

Yu Zhizhi saw a familiar figure standing by the entrance—the White-eyed Young Boy. He was leaning against the wall next to the main gate, cradling that broken scabbard in his arms.

Seeing them, the young boy straightened up. "Ms. Zhi Zhi, Lord 91."

"Are you feeling better?" Seeing an old acquaintance, Yu Zhizhi ran right over, leaving Lou forgotten behind her.

The White-eyed Young Boy nodded. "I’m fully recovered. Thank you for your Healing Technique, Ms. Zhi Zhi."

"Are the other squads here?"

Yu Zhizhi stood on her tiptoes, looking around curiously.

The young mantis replied, "Squad 14 and the brown bear’s squad are here. Including us, only Squad 777 is left."

As the two were chatting, a sweet voice called out, "Miss Turtle, long time no see."

Yu Zhizhi looked up and saw Ai Li of the Butterfly Clan.

She was wearing a white uniform with a short skirt, looking charming, cute, and radiant. With her arrival, the live broadcast cameras also precisely captured their meeting.

They were the only two females to have survived to the finals of this hunting season.

The bullet comments on the official platform instantly exploded with activity.
