    "She has a prior engagement. My apologies," Fan Quguang suddenly appeared beside them.


    The man''s face darkened for a moment, but he said nothing and immediately turned to leave.


    "Here, where one might lose their life at any second, these people still have the mood to dance," Shen Yue shook her head, unable to comprehend.


    "Since we''re already here, what else can we do but enjoy the present?"


    Fan Quguang sat down across from Shen Yue.


    "You have a point. But I haven''t tried your item yet. Why are you here so soon?"


    "It''s not about that. I''m unsure when you might enter the small world, so I came to tell you: if you''re on tonight''s list to enter, remember to return the item to me before you go in."


    Shen Yue suddenly noticed the man who had just invited her to dance approaching Kun Yao.


    "That''s not what you said before. Are you going back on your word? Don''t forget we have an agreement."


    Her gaze fell on Fan Quguang sitting before her.


    "We''re just making a transaction. I can''t be expected to go on adventures with you, can I?" Fan Quguang said. "Besides, only after you come back from that world can I believe your first survival wasn''t just luck."


    "Your concerns are reasonable. I understand and accept them. If I''m chosen, I''ll give you the item before I go in."


    "Alright then. Good luck to you." Fan Quguang nodded, then stood up, adjusted his clothes, and went off to drink by himself.


    Bang!


    Shen Yue had been sitting alone for a while and was starting to feel bored.


    Just as she was about to leave to test the effect of that item, a loud noise suddenly came from nearby.


    Looking over, she saw a man seemed to have been thrown to the ground.


    People''s attention was drawn to the scene.


    Shen Yue wasn''t surprised. She walked over curiously and realized this man was the one who had invited her to dance earlier. The person he had offended was Kun Yao.


    "You bitch, you really don''t know when to quit!" This man was the guest from Room 75. His previously gentlemanly facade had been torn away, revealing an ugly nature.


    Many people were now focused on the scene, making the man on the ground even more embarrassed.


    "I told you not to touch me," Kun Yao said coldly.


    "You... I''ll show you what..." The man charged forward, but Kun Yao kicked him aside with one foot.


    "Ah!" The man''s body slid across the floor, crashing straight into the wall. A painting fell from the wall, hitting him on the head.


    His head immediately began bleeding.


    But as soon as the blood flowed out, the wound quickly healed.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    The man was about to charge again, but he suddenly fell silent when he saw the person behind Kun Yao.


    "What''s going on here?" Ruan Ning had arrived at some point, though Shen Yue hadn''t noticed. He seemed to have appeared behind everyone instantaneously.


    As soon as Administrator Ruan Ning appeared, everyone immediately stepped back to make way for him.


    "Administrator, it''s this woman. She attacked me!" Number 75 immediately spoke up.


    Ruan Ning looked at Number 75''s bashed head, then at Kun Yao before speaking: "You couldn''t beat her?"


    The man''s face instantly turned the color of a pig''s liver: "No! I was just going easy on her because she''s a woman."


    Shen Yue couldn''t help but laugh.


    This light chuckle sounded particularly jarring in the quiet environment.


    Seeing everyone look at her, Shen Yue quickly covered her mouth and waved her hand, indicating it wasn''t her business.


    "What about you? Kun Yao, what do you have to say?"


    "He harassed me. He got hit. It was deserved." Kun Yao''s words were very brief.


    Ruan Ning quickly made a decision.


    "Since you''re all so free, why don''t you take a trip to the small world? We happen to be short on newcomers this time, so we need some veterans to guide them."


    The man''s face changed instantly: "No, please, Administrator! I won''t dare do it again, never again! It wasn''t me causing trouble here, it was her, it was her!"


    Ruan Ning spoke to him with a gentle attitude, even smiling: "It''s alright. She''ll be entering the small world with you. If you have any personal grudges, you can settle them in there."


    The man''s face instantly turned ashen, his eyes looking at Kun Yao as if he wanted to kill her.


    "We''re still short one person..." Ruan Ning looked around at the crowd. Everyone tried to avoid his gaze, some even wanting to leave immediately, instantly regretting staying to watch the commotion.


    Shen Yue had already retreated to the outermost circle.


    She had seen enough of the drama. It was time to leave.


    "Her too, add her in!"


    The man''s voice rang out behind Shen Yue. She didn''t even look back, just accelerated her departure.


    Her vision blurred, and when it cleared, Administrator Ruan Ning was already in front of her.


    "Shen Yue? Number 95?" Ruan Ning looked at her, his expression momentarily puzzled.


    "Yes, Administrator." Shen Yue put on a smile, having no choice but to stop.


    "Are you willing to enter..."


    "Thank you, but I''m not willing." Shen Yue clasped her hands together, speaking sincerely.


    "Alright, then it''s you. You''ll go together." Ruan Ning made the decision instantly.


    Shen Yue was dumbfounded.


    "Tomorrow night at midnight will be the time to enter the small world. The list of participants has been decided. You''re free to arrange your time until then." Ruan Ning announced these things casually, then turned to leave.


    Before leaving, he said one more thing to Shen Yue: "Good luck to you."


    Shen Yue was petrified.


    A second later, she immediately turned and walked up to the man from Room 75.


    "Hmph, weren''t you laughing so happily earlier? How come you''re not..."


    Slap!


    The sound of a resounding slap. A hard slap that shocked those present.


    Kun Yao''s gaze also fell on Shen Yue.


    After slapping the man, Shen Yue arrogantly wiped her bloodied hand on his clothes.


    "That''s right, I''m still laughing happily now." Shen Yue withdrew her hand, looking at the bright red handprint on his face, and said with a smile.


    Number 75''s entire body was shaking with anger.


    "I''ll kill you, you crazy bitch!" The man swung a punch, but Shen Yue easily caught it.


    "Shh, not so loud. Don''t you fear the administrator coming again? If you cause trouble once more, he might just throw you out of the apartment this time."


    Entering the small world could be said to have a glimmer of hope for survival, but being thrown out of the apartment by the administrator meant certain death.


    "You, you let go of me... Ah ah, let go!" The man suddenly showed a painfully twisted expression.


    "Oh?" Shen Yue quickly released his fist, "Sorry, I might have used too much strength. But you''re also too weak, aren''t you?"


    At this point, the surrounding guests began to discuss.


    "That tall girl is one thing, she might have learned a few moves, but this girl doesn''t look strong at all. How can this man be so weak..."


    "Exactly, this is simply embarrassing..."


    Number 75 couldn''t explain, and at the same time couldn''t bear to stay any longer. He glared fiercely at Shen Yue, then covered his face and quickly left.


    With the excitement over, the crowd dispersed. Now they could start dancing relaxedly.


    "Hey, where are you going?" Shen Yue noticed Kun Yao was leaving and hurriedly followed.


    "None of your business. Stay away from me."


    Kun Yao frowned slightly, walking very fast.


    "We''re going to enter the small world together again. Hey, you..." Before Shen Yue could say anything more, Kun Yao had already left her behind.


    Shen Yue was perplexed.


    "Why run so fast?"
