After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain

Turning her head, she saw a woman walking in from the doorway with her arms crossed, a lazy smile playing at the corners of her lips, her demeanor utterly composed.

The man following behind her had sharp, cold features with a chiseled jawline, deep-set eyes casting shadows under his brows.

Bo Jingmo glanced at the stunned Huang Ya and Hao Lan, handing them his meal card. "You two go get some food first, fill your stomachs. Yu Li and I will talk with them."

Hao Lan accepted it with teary eyes, nearly moved to tears. Wuwu, my bro, my sis, your timing couldn't be more perfect.

Yu Li sat on the chair, giving the dazed Huang Ya a gentle smile. "You've done well enough already. Go eat first."

Huang Ya's eyes grew slightly moist as she nodded faintly and stood up to leave with Hao Lan.

Witnessing this scene, Xing Yuan sneered internally, his words laced with sarcasm. "We barely said anything, yet this makes it seem like PEACE was bullying them."

Yu Li twirled a black pen lazily in her fingers, glancing sideways with a smirk. "Weren't you? The four of you taking turns to reprimand them - Bo Jingmo and I heard everything from the doorway."

Jiang Xi couldn't take it anymore, frowning. "They came over first, insisting on bringing up last dungeon's matters. What? Should we just let her slander me like that?"

"I..." Jiang Xi found herself at a loss for words. Quickly regaining her composure, she retorted, "Yu Li, don't change the subject. We're discussing this dungeon now. You're just like Huang Ya, always dragging last dungeon's grudges into current matters!"

"Fine." Yu Li tilted her head with a smile. "Then let's discuss this dungeon's grudges."

Hearing the woman dare say this, Xing Yuan was the first to lose his composure. "You're the ones who provoked first in this dungeon! We didn't do anything, yet you started making snide remarks about us."

At this, the woman blinked innocently. "We provoked you?" She turned to Bo Jingmo with feigned confusion. "Jingmo, have I been provoking people all this time?"

The man reached out to tidy the stray hairs by her ear, lifting his eyes coolly toward Xing Yuan. "My wife just speaks bluntly. Since when has that become provocation?"

The entire group: "..."

B-l-u-n-t? Are you fucking kidding me with this blatant lie?!

"Hah, that's certainly a unique interpretation of bluntness," Xing Yuan said through gritted teeth. "Even so, sending two clueless teammates to exchange intel with us - were you trying to get something for nothing?"

"Something for nothing?" Bo Jingmo raised his eyelids slightly with a derisive snort. "There seems to be some misunderstanding here. Li Li and I never intended to share intel with you. Those two just didn't know that and foolishly came to you."

"Ha!" Hou Liang suddenly interjected, raising an eyebrow with ambiguous tone. "And you accuse us of bullying? You never planned to cooperate because you know you're in the wrong—"

But before he could finish, Bo Jingmo cut him off. "Actually, that would be thanks to you, Hou Liang." The man's expression held a mocking smile, lips curling with faint derision. "Wasn't it you who blocked the intel from me in the room earlier?"

Silence abruptly fell over the scene.

Only Yu Li remained, lazily propping her chin as she sighed dramatically. "Ah, hearing Bo Jingmo say that made me so sad. I really wanted to cooperate with PEACE all along..." Her drawn-out tone carried more mockery than sorrow.

Taking turns performing, this couple perfectly coordinated their act, leaving PEACE's four members with no room for rebuttal.

A shadow passed through Jiang Xi's eyes as Limu's voice suddenly reached her ears. "If that's the case, why don't we exchange intel now? I'll tell you ours, and you tell us yours."

The other five immediately looked over at this suggestion.

Yu Li arched an eyebrow, lips curling upward. "Sure."

Seeing her agree so readily, Xing Yuan's instincts screamed warning. He suddenly raised a hand. "Wait. To prevent deception, I need to use an item."

Since Yu Jiao's departure, the mall had introduced new items that could detect lies - functioning exactly like Yu Jiao's skill. The system truly never missed an opportunity to profit.

Yu Li simply watched Xing Yuan with an amused smirk. "Fine."

Using Yu Jiao's skill to test her? She knew that far too well.

The item could only be used by one person, so they'd need at least two. Yu Li smiled sweetly at Xing Yuan. "But Bo Jingmo and I don't have points to buy items. What to do, Boss Xing?"

Xing Yuan: "..."

With a dark expression, he purchased another one for Yu Li. "I paid for these, so you going first isn't unreasonable, right?"

Activating the item, Yu Li smiled. "Of course." She tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Earlier, when I came from Aunt Lin's office, she told me that once those children grow to look like us, they'll start stealing our abilities before gradually replacing us."

"She told you?" Jiang Xi frowned. "How does she know about our skills?"

"That's the second clue." Yu Li's eyes curved with amusement. Her gaze swept past Limu's face as she added with a smile, "The NPCs in this dungeon can see our skills."

Admittedly, this was significant intel.

Xing Yuan side-eyed Yu Li, surprised she hadn't lied. How unusual. After a pause, he shared his own findings: "Our intel indicates... there are no resurrections in this dungeon. Once you die, that's it."

Yu Li's eyes gleamed with interest. "No resurrections, huh..."

Seeing her expression, Xing Yuan sneered inwardly. That look definitely meant she was plotting something. Yu Li, you probably don't know what my skill is. Whatever you're thinking won't work.
