Chapter 55: So Domineering! Worthy of a Male God

Jiang Muye, the light tracing the perfect line of his jaw, a pair of cold eyes carrying a dangerous edge.

It instantly made Xia Xiran's back break out in a cold sweat.

She bit her lower lip, deeply uncomfortable.

Tears suddenly fell. In this humiliating predicament, she could only dejectedly help the Girl with Glasses away.

After watching them leave, Jiang Muye's anger only slightly subsided.

Mi Lu happily circled around Jiang Muye. "So domineering! You've got guts!"

Jiang Muye gave a faint nod, neither arrogant nor impatient.

He now had not a trace of reason to yield to Xia Xiran. Whenever Xia Xiran did something wrong, he'd dress her down without fail, never soft-handed.

Leng Ruoli smiled faintly. When she smiled, she was like clear lakewater under spring sunlight, rippling with gentle waves, exceptionally lovely.

By now Mi Lu had called over two junior schoolmates, and the group's mood wasn't affected by Xia Xiran and the others from before in the slightest. They began the escape room.

The Fifth Madhouse's theme was very realistic, as if they were truly there in person.

The whole room had dim lighting, eerie to the extreme.

Jiang Muye wasn't scared in the least. He was used to horror movies anyway, nothing to fear.

Mi Lu, however, kept shivering beside him and saying, "So scary, Muye, you'd better hold my hand tight and not let go."

Several times she went to grab the palm of Jiang Muye's hand.

Jiang Muye swept a cold gaze over. "What's there to be afraid of? So brave, it's not even fully dark yet, the NPCs haven't even appeared."

"But I'm just scared~" Mi Lu whined coquettishly, her snow-white peaks suddenly pressing hard against Jiang Muye's body.

Jiang Muye felt a soft squish, sensing her rubbing and rubbing with all her strength, leaving him utterly helpless.

"Sister Mi Lu!"

"Sister Mi Lu, if you're scared, hold onto me." Leng Ruoli stepped forward and grabbed Mi Lu's wrist as it was about to entangle Jiang Muye.

Mi Lu watched Jiang Muye walk ahead, and for a moment her eyes were fixed longingly on his back.

"Hey, not so fast." Mi Lu wanted to catch Jiang Muye but it was already too late.

"Sister Mi Lu, don't go, I'm so scared!" Leng Ruoli clung to Mi Lu's hand and wouldn't let go, completely putting on an air of being very afraid.

On one hand, she really was quite afraid. On the other, she didn't want Sister Mi Lu clinging to Jiang Muye the whole time.

Mi Lu was quite helpless, and said to Leng Ruoli, "You, you~"

Even though her plan had been spoiled, she was still very doting.

Leng Ruoli gave a gentle smile, so innocent, and leaned her head on Mi Lu's shoulder. "Let's go together."

"Sure." Without a man, best friends could make do.

Mi Lu's mood instantly relaxed, and she led Leng Ruoli along, groping their way.

They had already entered the escape room.

They needed to get a set of passcodes to clear the level.

But everyone had no clue. Except for some furniture, there was nothing in the room at all.

"How about using a hint? There are three chances in total." the Girl with Glasses suggested.

"No need, I can solve it." Jiang Muye said calmly.

The Girl with Glasses said exaggeratedly, "For real? Aren't you the one who hates solving puzzles the most, can you really do it?"

"Of course."

The Girl with Glasses leaned close and said to Jiang Muye, "Don't show off just because there are two super beauties here. If you get it wrong later, it'll be the most embarrassing thing."

Jiang Muye rolled his eyes. "Don't use your IQ as the standard and think I'm the same as you."

"Can you really do it?" Kai was also a bit disbelieving. "The Aloof Campus Belle is a top student, and even she's looking for clues, and it doesn't look like she's found the passcode."

"I can." Jiang Muye had spent a little time just now, but thankfully with the intelligence and detection values the System gave him, Jiang Muye had still seen through the method to crack the escape room's passcode.

"The passcode is 9181!" A sudden cry of delight rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Everyone saw Mi Lu holding a bottle of cleaner she'd taken from the cabinet, saying, "So easy, 9181 is written on it."

Jiang Muye, however, let out a laugh of disbelief. "No."

"Why not, it's written right there, I'll go enter the passcode." The Girl with Glasses thought Jiang Muye was showing off too much, and directly went to enter the passcode.

The result was a broadcast reminder: "Sorry, incorrect input. You have five chances left. If all five are wrong, all the lights will go dark. You have three hint chances."

The Girl with Glasses was dumbfounded. "It really is wrong, hell if I've ever seen such a thing."

He asked Jiang Muye, "Then what exactly is the hint?"

"I don't know yet." Jiang Muye answered.

"You don't know, and yet you just swore up and down that you knew? I knew you were unreliable, just showing off." The Girl with Glasses was very frustrated.

Jiang Muye said lazily, "But I know what the hint should be."

Jiang Muye picked up the towel on the table, then poured on the cleaner from Mi Lu's hand, walked to the wall, and used the towel to wipe the dirty spot on the wall clean, revealing a set of numbers: 9181.

Jiang Muye turned back and looked at everyone. "Very simple. The passcode is 9181."

Although there were many obstacles on site, after thinking it over, Jiang Muye realized everyone had been overcomplicating things. It was actually the simplest operation that would get the passcode.

The Girl with Glasses hurried to enter the passcode, and a prompt appeared to advance to the next level.

He was extremely astonished. "You really did it!"

Mi Lu excitedly ran over, jumped up onto Jiang Muye, wrapping her legs around him, and said, "Wow, you're too amazing."

Leng Ruoli, who had originally been happy for Jiang Muye, upon seeing Mi Lu's action, her red lips parted slightly, and a trace of disappointment began to circle in her eyes.

"Leng Ruoli, let's go."

A magnetic voice rang out.

Leng Ruoli trembled, and abruptly raised her head, seeing Jiang Muye standing before the level's checkpoint.

He had already shoved Mi Lu off, his bright black eyes gazing at her.

Leng Ruoli's heart felt as if a jar of honey had been poured into it, and she could not help but grow happy.

"Okay!" Leng Ruoli nodded, and hurried forward.

For the following levels, although the difficulty increased, Leng Ruoli was very careful and became Jiang Muye's little assistant, helping to crack it together.

Combined with Jiang Muye's very clever brain, they quickly entered the passcodes and led the group to clear the levels.

But when they entered the fifth level, the lights flickered on and off, and the horror atmosphere was maxed out.

There were also very eerie sound effects, terrifying to hear.

Leng Ruoli's little face went pale. She was pretending to be calm, but in truth she was very afraid, not even daring to look around.

Just as she was so panicked she didn't know how to place her hands, her hands already going a bit weak, a pair of soft large hands suddenly gripped her hand, making her clutch tightly to the corner of his shirt.

"Follow, don't get lost."

A cool voice rang out, making Leng Ruoli slowly raise her head.

She saw Jiang Muye with his superior jawline, doing as he pleased, wild and unruly, the unrestrained and languid air about him leaving her mesmerized.

Leng Ruoli unconsciously gave a silly smile.

She was like a little tail, firmly following behind Jiang Muye.

Although it wasn't his hand she was holding, only the corner of his shirt, it already gave Leng Ruoli a heavy sense of happiness.

She felt like everything before her eyes was bright, no longer so dark.

Jiang Muye could naturally feel the light tugging on his clothes behind him, that pair of little hands always clutching him, her steps in perfect unison with his.

At first he had walked a bit fast, and she had to jog.

Jiang Muye immediately slowed his pace so she could keep up.

After feeling her trotting along behind him, Jiang Muye appeared casual and didn't care, but his mood was warm.

"I'm scared too, take me with you~" Mi Lu suddenly pressed close, the smell of peach on her body suddenly rushing into his nose.
