Qingque, who was dragging Levi forward, suddenly couldn't pull him anymore.
She turned her head and glanced at Levi, who was standing there frozen.
With a teasing look, she said, "What, did your conscience suddenly wake up? Thinking of going back to help Lady Fu Xuan handle her work?"
This guy's guts were really something. Fu Xuan hadn't even finished thinking or spoken yet, and he'd already run off with her.
If she were Fu Xuan and saw Levi come back, she'd definitely loosen his tendons a bit.
She really hadn't noticed before that he was this bold.
Then again, that wasn't quite right, he dared to shove all-in during that kind of card game, so his guts really were huge.
Looking at it that way, it wasn't that he got bolder after gaining power, he'd always been this bold.
Hearing Qingque's words, Levi instinctively retorted, "Bullshit!"
'I've already slipped out, and you still want me to go back?'
'In your next life!'
Coming back to his senses, Levi immediately turned the tables, stepped past Qingque, grabbed her, and dragged her toward the card parlor.
As if he were the one who'd decided to come play cards.
The card parlors in Exalting Sanctum were popular because Imperial Jade Mahjong was big here.
Many alien visitors who came after hearing about it would usually come here to have some fun, or to see for themselves that legendary Imperial Jade Mahjong said to be suitable for all ages.
So this place was pretty chaotic. Normally, Levi would pull Qingque along, call a couple of card buddies, and go play somewhere else.
He rarely came to the card parlor.
This time, though, everyone else was busy, so the two of them could only come here to play.
Walking into the card parlor, they casually found a table and sat down. Seeing that there was no one else with them, two foxian NPCs were quickly matched to play with them.
Levi was multitasking.
While playing cards with Qingque, he also focused part of his attention on the chat group.
[Levi: Which bastard stole my account?!]
'Come to think of it, accounts in the chat group could actually be stolen?'
'This thing could connect to other worlds, its status had to be insanely high. Anyone who could steal an account here would be...'
Suddenly thinking of that possibility, Levi shivered all over.
[Levi: I admit I spoke a little too loudly just now. I apologize!]
[Levi: I'm really sorry!]
[Kiana: You really have a lot of screen time, don't you.]
"Holy shit! I won!"
"What?! You're done already?!"
Qingque was shocked and immediately leaned over to look, then rolled her eyes at Levi.
"You're still miles away from winning with that hand!"
"Did you deliberately mishear that just so you could peek at my tiles?"
"What are you saying! What are you saying?!"
Qingque instantly exploded at Levi's accusation. "After spending so much time together, you still don't know what kind of person I am?!"
Seeing Levi's calm face even in the face of her 'rage,' Qingque felt a slight panic in her heart.
'Feels like I didn't bluff him…'
Knowing Qingque just wanted to see his tiles, Levi didn't say anything.
Even when the flustered Qingque later suggested restarting, Levi vetoed it.
It was just a game.
Even if he lost ten or twenty-eight million, it wasn't a big deal.
After all, having fun was the most important thing.

[The Underworld of Belobog]
Stelle, Kiana, and Asta came outside the building.
In a small corner, the three of them stared at each other.
Stelle spoke first.
She looked at Kiana and asked, "What's going on here?"
Why was Asta in the chat, and even using Levi's ID?
Kiana looked completely confused. "How would I know?!"
She had just woken up, she had no idea what had happened.
Besides, she was just the group owner, not the owner of the chat group itself.
"You didn't say that before…"
Stelle looked at Kiana with a complicated expression after her sudden change of tune.
Asta raised her hand and asked, "So what exactly is this thing?"
At this moment, a transparent virtual screen appeared in front of her eyes.
The two newest messages on it were Levi's two messages.
She looked around but didn't find any projection device behind herself, Stelle, or Kiana.
"Is this some kind of Trailblazer miracle technology?"
Faced with Asta's confusion, the chat group veterans, Stelle and Kiana, exchanged a glance.
Stelle: 'You explain, or I explain?'
Kiana: 'Neither of us is explaining.'
'? What does that mean?'
Just as Stelle was wondering what Kiana meant, she suddenly saw Kiana speak up in the group.
[Kiana: @Elysia, come clean this up… your chance to show senior authority is here! Explain this chat group properly to @Levi.]
[Levi: I need an explanation?]
[Levi (Asta): @Elysia, senior, what exactly is this thing?]
[Elysia: ...]
In the fitting room of the mall, Elysia had her hands behind her back and was just about to undo a button when the two consecutive @mentions in the chat group caught her attention.
One was from Kiana, and one was from Levi.
———
Elysia scratched her head. "Are they messing with me?"
Having her introduce the chat group to Levi?
How long had he been in the group already?
Some features were even discovered by him.
In terms of understanding the chat group, Levi could leave her in the dust by several blocks.
And besides...
"Didn't I already explain it to him at the very beginning? Do I really need to explain it again?"
"This wasn't some kind of play between you guys, was it?"
"No, no! I mean the 'Levi' below isn't the Levi above!"
'What do you mean Levi above and below?'
Did he split into half or something?
[Levi: Idiot!]
'Did Elysia get dumb from studying with Mei? She couldn't even understand something this simple!'
Should he help her drop out?
[Elysia: You're absolutely right. I have a date tonight and hope you can come help ORZ.]
[Levi: It's not that I don't want to help.]
———
[After a While]
[Levi: .....]
[Elysia: It's just with...]
[Levi: You don't need to say anything! No matter who it's with! Even if it's a date with a snake, I'll do it!]
[Levi: Bring me more of this kind of thing in the future, I'll do anything.]
"Levi… are you overheated or something?"
Under Qingque's strange gaze, Levi wiped his nose and saw blood on his hand, his expression stiffening.
"Oh, this? I ate too many supplements this morning. Probably overdid it a bit."
"Supplements…"
'This morning…'
Suddenly thinking of something, Qingque's face flushed red.
'This guy couldn't have prepared in advance, right?'
[Kiana: You stinky man! You're starting to get as annoying as my stinky dad!]
———
"Men are all the same!"
Kiana ground her teeth as she stared at the conversation between Levi and Elysia.
Even though there were no pictures, Kiana could already imagine what Elysia had privately sent to Levi.
[Levi: Then can you call me 'Dad'?]
'That bold?' Stelle thought to herself.
She glanced at Kiana's flushed face. Her attitude toward Levi was a bit strange too.
'Could she really have feelings for him?'
'Didn't she like that girl named Raiden Mei?'
[Ding! Failed to revoke administrator privileges!]
Chat group administrators are appointed by the group owner and granted authority after the chat group's evaluation.
Without a major mistake, the group owner does not have the right to revoke them.
Levi, '!!!'
'Then why the hell did I play along?!'
[Levi: Kiana! I'm telling you! You're just a damn piece of shit! If you've got guts, come to Luofu Street! Let's see how I deal with you!]
[Levi: Stelle, give her a show!]
[Stelle: Damn! Let's go! Ignore! ጿ ኈ ቼ ዽ ጿ]
———
'Absurd! Too absurd!'
Elysia pressed her lips together, holding back laughter.
She changed into a new set of underwear and reached out to lift the slime on her chest.
Muttering to herself, she said, "It's only been a few days, how did it get bigger again? I didn't even eat any supplements… so annoying!"
Elysia squeezed hard, trying to make it smaller.
Unfortunately, it didn't help much.
———
[Kiana: !!! Just you wait! Just you wait for me!]
Burning with rage, Kiana grabbed Stelle by the shoulders. Seeing her expression, Stelle thought her own words had set off the fire.
"Stelle, forget about finding any Stellaron. I'm going to the Luofu right now!"
"Don't you have some kind of train that can travel through space? Let's go to the Luofu right now!"
"..."
