Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - Chapter 23

Xu Yan watched her warily.

This was no longer the world it used to be. Just because the girl looked delicate didn’t mean she actually was.

Moreover, with Xiao Hu so agitated right now, even a fool could tell his injury was connected to the person before them.

Ruan Tian let out a light laugh, breaking the silence first.

“Hello, everyone.”

“This is my home. You’ve all come uninvited-do you need something?”

Her usual way of thinking was: if she wanted something, she would get it.

She didn’t care who the house belonged to before; now, it was hers.

Xu Yan didn’t answer her question, instead staring straight at her and coldly retorting, “Did you hurt my companion?”

Ruan Tian glanced nonchalantly at the half-dead young man and nodded without a care, “If you mean him, then yes, it was me.”

After speaking, she walked past the two of them and headed to the area where the sofa had been placed in the living room.

This corner had been cleared out by Da Tou, and Lin Mother’s corpse was now exposed.

Ruan Tian frowned slightly and, as if it were only natural, started ordering Da Tou around: “Hey, you, come over and throw this corpse out. Make sure you toss it far away.”

“Oh, okay.”

Da Tou responded instinctively, then actually started to deal with it.

Xu Yan stared in disbelief.

Wait, you just do whatever she tells you?

Who’s really your teammate here?

Xiao Hu was also a bit stunned, momentarily forgetting even the pain.

He knew Da Tou wasn’t the brightest, always a bit slow to react, but he hadn’t realized it was this bad.

Could it be he’d hit him too hard in the past?

Xiao Hu started to reflect on himself.

Da Tou carried the corpse to the doorway, and finally snapped out of it.

Wait? Something’s not right. Why was he listening to her?

Da Tou turned around with the corpse, wanting to say something, only to see the girl tilt her head slightly at him, their eyes meeting.

Ruan Tian spoke indifferently, “Why are you standing there? If you leave it any longer, it’ll start to smell.”

Da Tou froze, unsure whether to put it down or not.

His instincts told him that listening to her was the right thing to do.

But then again, they didn’t even know each other, and she’d just hurt his companion-why should he listen to her?

Two conflicting thoughts tangled in his mind, and Da Tou didn’t know what to do.

So, he looked to Xu Yan for help.

Sister Yan was the smartest among them; listening to her was always right.

Xu Yan, catching Da Tou’s pleading look: “…”

Xiao Hu really wasn’t wrong to call him a fool.

If you’re going to do it, do it all the way. If not, don’t start in the first place.

Now, halfway through, what’s the point of looking at her?

Xu Yan quietly sized up the girl.

She somehow produced a towel from somewhere, and was now slowly drying the droplets of water from her hair, not paying them any attention at all.

Xu Yan thought for a moment, then gave Da Tou a look, signaling him to go ahead.

They’d barged in uninvited, so they were already in the wrong-and now they’d been caught red-handed.

Besides, this girl was clearly not simple; if it came to a fight, they might not have the upper hand.

All things considered, it was best to let Da Tou do it.

Getting Xu Yan’s signal, Da Tou happily carried the corpse out.

The living room was left with just Ruan Tian and the other three. Except for Xiao Hu, who occasionally groaned in pain, no one spoke.

Ruan Tian focused on drying her hair, ignoring them completely.

Even so, Xu Yan still felt a strange, indescribable pressure.

The atmosphere remained tense until Da Tou returned, easing up a little.

The sun was already up outside. When Da Tou left, he’d only had a bit of sweat on his forehead; now, he was drenched, his shirt soaked through.

He didn’t know Ruan Tian’s name, and after hesitating for a long time, scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Um… I threw the corpse far away. Really far.”
Xu Yan covered her face.

“Well done.”

Hearing Ruan Tian’s response, Da Tou grinned, and most of his reluctance at being ordered around was swept away by her light praise.

His smile hadn’t faded yet when Ruan Tian spoke again: “Clean up this place. Throw out anything that’s broken. Anything good or usable, wash it and put it back where it belongs.”

“Huh?”

Da Tou was stunned.

His first reaction was, There’s more to do?

Seeing him unmoving, Ruan Tian asked, “Is there a problem?”

Before Da Tou could reply, Xu Yan spoke up, tactfully refusing, “Miss, it was already like this when we arrived.”

The implication: It’s not our responsibility, and we have no obligation to clean up.

She was thinking that once Da Tou returned, they’d leave with Xiao Hu.

But now it seemed this young woman had no intention of letting them go.

Ruan Tian looked directly at Xu Yan, her tone calm but absolutely forceful: “So?”

“Do you think I’m negotiating with you?”

Xu Yan was at a loss for words.

This was just too domineering and unreasonable.

Although they were in the wrong for entering first, they hadn’t done anything excessive.

And Xiao Hu was seriously injured.

If nothing else, returning the things would be better than being bossed around like slaves here.

Xu Yan felt a bit angry, but instinctively didn’t want to confront her directly.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her irritation, and softened her tone: “Miss, we’re really sorry for coming in without your permission. How about this: we’ll return your things, and you let us leave. How does that sound?”

Ruan Tian: “No.”

“Returning what you took is what you should do.”

Ruan Tian stood up and walked toward the second floor.

Standing on the upstairs corridor, she looked down at them.

“I’m going to take a nap.”

“If this place isn’t cleaned up before I wake up…” She paused, then suddenly smiled, her eyes curving, “You can stay here forever.”

With that, she turned and entered the bedroom without looking at their expressions, leaving the three of them staring at each other.

Da Tou scratched his head, looking confusedly at Xu Yan: “Sister Yan, what do we do now?”

Xu Yan’s brows were tightly furrowed. She glanced at Xiao Hu, who was still in pain on the floor, then swept her eyes over the mess in the room, a surge of unspeakable frustration rising in her chest.

A thought suddenly popped into her mind: Maybe they should just take Xiao Hu and run now.

After all, Ruan Tian had gone into the bedroom and might not notice their movements.

This game world wasn’t that big, but not that small either. They didn’t even know each other’s names. If they left now, even if she wanted to find them, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

The more Xu Yan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

“Xiao Hu…”

She had just started to speak when Xiao Hu interrupted her, “No.”

Xiao Hu saw through her thoughts, and for the first time, he was clear-headed and serious: “Sister Yan, we can’t leave.”

Xu Yan was stunned. She knew Xiao Hu always had his own ideas, and if he said this, he must have his reasons.

“Sister Yan, this woman is different from anyone we’ve met before.”

“She’s very strong.”

“Stronger than anyone we’ve ever encountered.”

“We’re no match for her.”

Thinking back to what had happened, he could still clearly feel the shadow of death looming over him.

Just a little more, just a bit, and he might have died right there.

He still didn’t understand what made her change her mind and not kill him.

But just recalling it, the lingering fear after surviving felt like a cold current rushing through his body, making him shiver all over.
