353,

Two peaks blocked the way ahead, but Cyclone was not captivated by the scenery. The lifeless body lay on the table, pale and cold. With an ordinary appearance, compared to Yuna's extraordinary beauty, this deceased woman did not evoke any feelings in Cyclone. However, Cyclone couldn't help but wonder why she had departed at such a young age.

During the demon extermination battle, Cyclone had witnessed many things, and a complete corpse like this actually brought a sense of reassurance to Cyclone. In that war, Cyclone had grown accustomed to seeing severed limbs and bloody and mutilated corpses scattered everywhere.

Dudu rushed over in a panic and immediately covered the dead woman with a large cloth. But even though she was covered, Cyclone and Yuna had already seen her.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's not like that!!" Dudu exclaimed, sweating profusely and waving her hands frantically.

As the owner of this dungeon, everything here was placed by Dudu. And seeing a corpse here, it was obvious that Dudu had brought it.

The question was, why did Dudu have a female corpse?

Cyclone and Yuna squinted their eyes, looking at Dudu.

"Don't think too much, I just brought her back for research!" Dudu cried, and for a moment, Cyclone found the scene amusing. However, bringing her back for research also meant...

"Bringing... bringing her back for research?!" Cyclone showed a surprised expression, realizing that the other party was not just an ordinary perverted killer, but something even more twisted.

"No, no, it's not like that!" In an attempt to erase the fantasy in Cyclone's mind, Dudu waved her hands desperately.

"Cough! Master, even if you have this preference, I..." Yuna covered her mouth, giggling and speaking at the same time.

But before Yuna could finish her sentence, Dudu shouted directly, "I said it's not like that!!"

After a moment of calm, Dudu played with some flying bugs in her hands. "Alright, alright, I get it. So, what's the deal with this female corpse? And what do you mean by 'research'?"

Tears streaming down her face, and snot running from her nose, Dudu explained, "She was discovered this morning."

"A villager found her... No, first, Dudu, answer me, did you kill her?" Yuna's expression did not change, but she moved slightly in front of Cyclone.

This subtle movement meant nothing to Cyclone's eyes, and Yuna probably didn't think much of it either. But in that instant, Dudu, as a monster, understood. Yuna was no longer the lonely girl with a tragic past, she was now wholeheartedly committed to protecting others.

"I didn't kill her," Dudu replied, but Yuna didn't step back. It was not Yuna's fault.

As a demon, Yuna understood better than anyone. A monster corrupted by the Source of Darkness, even someone familiar could eventually become a traitor. Yuna knew better than anyone that the whispered nightmares in her ears will eventually lead to delusion and downfall.

Now, Yuna would naturally not relax in protecting Cyclone, and Dudu understood that. But as a former friend, former disciple, being looked at like this, Dudu still felt heartache.

"Since you didn't kill her, why is she here?" Yuna continued to ask.

But just then, Cyclone had just passed Yuna and walked in front of Dudu. Both Yuna and Dudu were surprised by Cyclone's actions, but Cyclone's expression was even more surprised.

"Damn it!! No way!!"

"Husband?!"

Cyclone suddenly reached out and grabbed the skirt under Dudu.

"Hey~ Wife~ He actually has three swords underneath~" Cyclone pointed at Dudu's lower area and smirked.

Meanwhile, Dudu, who finally understood the situation, blushed and stepped back ten steps.

Cyclone kept clapping and smirked at discovering Dudu's secret.

"What a master~ No wonder you're a perverted killer who studies girls~"

"I-I told you it's not true!!! Aren't you afraid of me?!!"

Dudu shouted loudly, but in return, Cyclone smirked.

"Didn't Yuna say it? I'm not afraid of you at all~"

"B-Bullying..."

"...Haha...Hahaha~ Hahahaha~"

Unlike Dudu and Cyclone, Yuna, seeing this scene, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Truly every day brought surprises for Yuna, and every day brought anticipation for Yuna.

Was it because of herself? Because she said Dudu was kind, Cyclone relaxed his guard?

Yuna smiled, feeling happy towards the man in front of her who wholeheartedly trusted her.
