The sudden solicitation caught Yun You off guard.

She didn't expect that the Great Monk would try to recruit her at such a time.

After all, she was the Apprentice Death God, and one who had harmed the interests of the Tower Race.

There should have been countless conflicts between them.

"I've heard that there's a huge conflict between the Tower Race and the Apprentice Death Gods."

Yun You glanced at the Great Monk and softly said, "Aren't you afraid of being blamed by those above you or scolded by your master for bringing me back?"

"Of course, I'm not afraid of that."

The Great Monk smiled and explained, "All those so-called conflicts and grudges are just history. Things that happened decades ago, we've almost forgotten about now, so what's the point in mentioning them?"

"There is no such thing as friendship or hatred between factions, only interests."

"Bringing you back unharmed and accepting you as one of us will bring more benefits to the entire Tower Race... I have no reason not to do so."

Saying this, he bent down and respectfully bowed to Yun You.

"Please believe me, my intentions are genuine, and I have no reason to deceive you."

"If you are willing, let's follow the old customs of the Tower Race and shake hands to make peace."

The Great Monk was quite candid.

He knew that in front of someone like Yun You, speaking hollow ideals meant nothing.

Only interests, pure interests, could prove he wasn't lying.

This time, Yun You indeed showed no more signs of doubt.

After pondering for a while, she asked, "But what if I don't agree?"

"Then there's no way around it."

The Great Monk sighed and candidly said, "I won't fight you here because I don't have a hundred percent confidence to take you down in a direct confrontation."

"I will wait for you to be disarmed and your powers sealed by Nest City's officials, then deal with you slowly."

Yun You fell silent again.

After a while, she gently nodded.

"It seems I don't have another choice then."

"In that case, I shall give you this courtesy."

Without hesitating any longer, she swiftly stepped forward and firmly shook the Great Monk's hand.

"From now on, we are 'partners'.

"Please take care of me."

Yun You emphasized the word "partners," packed with expectations, goodwill, and a sincere demeanor.

"Hmm."

The Great Monk responded, closing his eyes.

"Partner, hello."

"Next up..."

"Please..."

"Go to your death calmly!"

Suddenly, the benevolent-looking monk's eyes snapped open. His other hand, hidden in his wide sleeve, shot out like lightning, aiming for Yun You's heart!

In his palm, where he clutched wooden Buddhist beads, a short dagger laced with venom gleamed a cold three-inch blade...

"Got you!"

The Great Monk thought excitedly, but the next moment, a hand suddenly pressed down on his left hand! Preventing the poisonous dagger from moving forward an inch.

At the same time, a massive scaled fist had reached her face, without any hesitation, smashing into his deceitful big face!

Bam!!

The Great Monk couldn't dodge in time, taking the punch head-on, and because his left hand was held, he couldn't deflect the force to reduce the damage, he had to bear all of it.

After the punch, his face was deformed, with red, white, and black pouring out of his seven orifices, while intense pain and numbness surged into his mind like a tsunami.

In pain, he kicked out, barely managing to push away the hand, and rolled back several steps before finally managing to get a clear look at Yun You's figure...along with her Red Scale Heavy Fist.

"Why...?"

He muttered to himself.

The pain distorted his voice, erasing his original generosity and benevolence, leaving only bewilderment.

He saw a blue glow flickering on Yun You, signaling the activation of Sur Particles.

But he still didn't understand how Yun You could see through his thoughts.

"You disguised yourself very well, your fake mask as thick as your skin."

The little girl shook her noticeably sore fist.

And indeed, this Great Monk could take a beating, enduring a full-force punch from her with just a disfigurement rather than being completely shattered.

His toughness, comparable to steel.

But no matter how tough it was, it couldn't match her Red Scale.

"But you underestimated the intelligence I possessed."

The little girl casually grabbed a bottle off the dining table and took a full mouthful.

"The Apprentice Death God and the Tower Race are mortal enemies that can never reconcile."

"After all, your Tower Race was destroyed by the Apprentice Death God."

"If I were still an ordinary person and hadn't drunk the Apprentice Death God's Awakening Potion, I might have believed in your recruitment. But now, since I've revealed my identity, if you are saying past grudges are not accounted for, I have to doubt your intentions."

Yun You tossed away the wine glass, wiped the wine from her lips, and said calmly, "Let me guess your thoughts."

"From the beginning, you intended to kill me. Observing Yang Lie and others' handling of Tai Sui was part of your duties as well."

"So you've been hiding in this Headquarters Building."

"Later on, when I entered this building and started hunting the dignitaries, you observed from the shadows."

"Why didn't you help Yang Lie? The reason is simple, you feared him."

"The Tower Race fears the Apprentice Death Gods, similarly, an ordinary Apprentice Death God also has strict laws to hunt the Tower Race."

"Even if you helped him, he definitely wouldn't thank you afterward. In all likelihood, he would attack you on the spot and bring your head to the Death God Organization for a reward."

"So you watched until he lost the ability to resist. Only then did you appear, using various talks to either make me spare Yang Lie or disrupt my thinking. Once I showed a flaw, you could reap the rewards."

"But you certainly didn't foresee me taking action without hesitation, ending his life directly."

Yun You spoke as she approached the Great Monk.

Even though she was much smaller in stature than the Great Monk, her head only reaching his chest, the little girl's aura completely overpowered the Great Monk.

"You lost the chance to distract me. Helplessly, you could only pretend to solicit me, displaying an image of considering my well-being, then attacking suddenly when I'm completely relaxed."

"This was your best chance."

"Unfortunately, you underestimated me as clumsy and ignored the Apprentice Death God's Talent Ability."

Yun You pointed to her head, where the Sur Particles continued to emit a dazzling light.

Future Sight, one of Yun You's trump cards, allowing her to see 40 seconds into the future.

This was her first time using her Talent Ability tonight, and she saw through the entire process of the Great Monk making his move against her.

With this precaution, sudden schemes and assassination attempts would not be effective against her.

"Pfft~!"

The Great Monk gritted his teeth, spit out bloody saliva.

"Damn Talent Abilities, the most annoying part about the Apprentice Death Gods is this unexpected Talent Ability."

"I underestimated you, my dear, this time... consider it your win!"

He said, suddenly rolling backward, crashing through the conference hall door!

Then he scrambled up, running to the end of the corridor, pulling a remote control switch from his hand, and pressing it fiercely—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Instantly, several heavy blast-proof iron doors dropped from the corridor's ceiling, blocking the passage.

This was the Great Monk's contingency plan, by pre-hacking the building's defense system, he removed the floor's blast doors from the system, controlling them himself.

This way, not even Frost Moon could regain control of the doors in a short period.

He knew these blast doors couldn't imprison Yun You, so he only aimed to delay time for his escape.

For this reason, at that moment, his speed was even slightly faster than Yun You at her peak!

"Dear, our business isn't over yet..."

"Time is long, we'll meet again, and then I'll slowly reclaim this debt!"

Upon hearing this, Yun You let out a chuckle.

"Another day? I don't think so."

"You'll stay here... buried with Yang Lie, and the deeds of your Tower Race."

The little girl slowly extended her right hand, the Red Scale Giant Claw transformed once more.

But this time, it didn't transform into a blade, nor did it retain its claw form, but morphed into a gun!

The crimson "Dragon Gun" materialized in the world once again.
