Chapter 141: Episode 12.8 Sense Of Propriety

The arrival of Shen Yuan instantly sparked heat among the hunters present. Their face was blushing since most of them had a little crush on such a good-looking omega.

It may sound like an exaggeration, but they feel they don’t need to guard against the extreme cold because their blood is bubbling, making them feel warm all over.

None of them expected that having a celebrity in their midst could give them such a rush.

Even his target, Qin Mian, is acting like a fish thrown into warm water by how he moved to and fro near Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan looked at them like he was deadlifting something in his mind, "These guys are too excited for someone who will enter the dungeon. Should I be worried?"

Hu Feng shook his head, "I think they will be alright."

After giving the last mandatory reminders, Shen Yuan approached the gatekeepers stationed outside the dungeon to inform them that today’s dungeon exploration would commence. They’ve given them special radios to let them communicate with the outside world once inside the dungeon.

This is one of the association’s countermeasures to minimize the casualty risk if the dungeon gate becomes unstable. Before, there were a lot of cases of missing people because the dungeon gates closed due to instability. They just vanished together with the dungeon.

But now, since someone is monitoring the dungeon from the outside and there’s a reliable means of communication, hunters can evacuate before the unfortunate things happen.

"So, normal phones don’t work while inside? I saw someone running a livestream," Shen Yuan’s eyes were a little more prominent at the new knowledge that he had learned.

"That’s a specialized camera that uses the technology of this radio to transmit data from inside the dungeon. And to do their broadcast, they are hooked to the station’s internet connection," The officer explained.

"So that means gadgets must connect with the station before they reach places far from this location?"

"Yes?" The officer was a little confused about why Shen Yuan asked about these trivial things. But remembering the order given to them by the Headquarters, he still maintained calmness in answering the question.

"I see," Shen Yuan nodded his head after contemplating. With the rich sources of materials, the technological advancement of this world is unarguably astounding!

But Shen Yuan couldn’t help but think that this pattern of usage and innovation was still the same as his previous mortal world. At first, technology was only created for everyone’s safety and needs, but now, it is applied to many casual purposes, such as live streams.

However, remembering the ways of his previous world, the fox spirit also understands that this means that shady individuals could exploit technologies like these.

"I assume that the association is keeping track of these devices. Can I ask you a favor? I want you to..."

And Shen Yuan issued his last instruction. He did it just to be on the safe side. Shen Yuan isn’t sure if his warning did its job and deterred the dangerous personalities in their midst (if there were), so he needed to create a multi-layer backup plan.

The gatekeeper in charge couldn’t help but be dumbfounded when he heard Shen Yuan’s order.

What’s going on? Why go all the trouble? He has fewer than ten questions in mind but chooses not to ask them.

He watched the S-Class omega’s back disappear with the hunters once they all entered, and without wasting any minute, he moved according to Shen Yuan’s order.

~~~

The Taiyuan Ice Dungeon is true to its name. It’s a tundra covered with white, snowy land, towering evergreen pines, and sporadic ice hills all over the place. The sky is downcast with very little sunlight, making it seem like the sun is about to rise.

If the outside is bitingly cold, then it’s freezing inside. The temperature inside hit -30 degrees, a temperature that’s enough to make anyone’s body feel stiff.

Due to the absence of windbreakers at the starting point, everyone— including Shen Yuan— experienced the toe-curling frosty breeze of the dungeon.

Now, Shen Yuan understood why this was dubbed the hardest B-Class dungeon.

"This dungeon’s terrain is not even the slightest agreeable compared to Karens in the parking lot," Shen Yuan murmured.

"Hu Feng," Shen Yuan called his beta partner. "Look for the highlands. We will be using that as the base. It doesn’t matter if it’s far from the center of this dungeon. As long as it has the perfect vantage point for monitoring these hunters, then it will be good."

Hu Feng alertly responded, immediately transforming into a massive eagle, "Understood, Leader Shen!"

Shen Yuan was left with the photo shoot team. He thought it would be better if they moved toward the pine trees because some were already showing signs of chills due to the direct blows of the cold wind.

They all agreed with this idea.

However, before they even managed to take the first step, someone called their attention.

"Ah, Shen Yuan?" One man suddenly stood before him, towering at around six feet and one inch. He’s a moderately good-looking fellow with a smooth and creamy complexion.

"If you don’t have anyone to accompany you in the dungeon, my party is still free. We can share some food and drinks if you need some."

Shen Yuan blinked his eyes. He swears that he’s not overthinking it this time, but...

"Please correct me if I’m wrong, but are you hitting on me?"

"Huh?!"

Nobody around was born yesterday, so they know the untold words in that invitation. However, no one expected that Shen Yuan would be direct about that!

The alpha male suddenly sweated bullets because this was the first time he had encountered such a confident and self-aware omega.

"No, I-"

Shen Yuan interjected in a beat, "Oh, I was wrong. I must have made you uncomfortable. Sorry about that. Anyways, please be careful when treading this dungeon. Don’t hesitate to yell my name if you are in grave danger. Bye!"

No outright words of rejection were uttered, but anyone with little comprehension could understand. Shen Yuan’s not open to any kind of invitation, and he’s telling them to go ahead and do what they’re supposed to do in the dungeon.

Defeated, the alpha only let out an awkward laugh and walked away, dragging his tail.

"Wow! That’s pretty heartless, but I like it," Lee Jinhyuk commented.

"Oh, did I do something wrong? Was I rude?" Shen Yuan asked with an innocent expression.

Lee Jinhyuk could sense that Shen Yuan was pretending that he was clueless. But he no longer pointed it out.

Of course, Shen Yuan consciously turned that man down in the very swift manner he could think of.

He wouldn’t let himself be caught in a scandal with other men when he was married to Bai Tingfeng. He has a strong sense of propriety regarding relationships, especially if it’s a matter of loyalty. There’s no way he will make such a low mistake like uselessly coming to other men’s invitations.

Little did he know, the scene where he indirectly turned down the alpha sparked a heated discussion in someone’s livestream.

Qin Mian was initially hovering around Shen Yuan because he wanted to ask the famous omega if he was up to a short appearance on his video. But he’s too shy to approach the omega. Besides, he’s still thinking about the look that Shen Yuan gave him.

Why did the S-Class omega gave him such an enigmatic look? Did he perhaps know him?

When he managed to muster the courage to speak to his celebrity crush, someone beat him.

Yes, that was when Shen Yuan ruthlessly turned down the alpha male’s invitation in the most passive way. His friend Shaoran followed closely behind him with the camera rolling, so the entire scenario was caught on film.

[Hahahaha. That poor man’s face when Shen Yuan turned him down was too hilarious!]

[That alpha must have wanted to crawl out of the dungeon after that]

[Well, he brought it on himself. Did anyone see his face when he approached Shen Yuan? That guy wanted to "rizz" him! Poor guy must have forgotten that Shen Yuan’s husband is Bai Tingfeng. Even if he’s compared to Bai Tingfeng’s toenail, there’s no way he’ll be qualified to be considered an ingrown.]

[That’s severely brutal, don’t you think? Shen Yuan could have refused politely. He shouldn’t have made the man uncomfortable.]

[Are you blind and deaf upstairs? Shen Yuan did it passively, so if it were taken word for word, it would only come across as a straightforward person apologizing for his wrong conclusions!]

[Before fight starts, why don’t you interview Shen Yuan, Daddy Mian?]

Qin Mian saw this enthusiastic string of live chat when he was warming up before he started hunting the yetis and couldn’t help but frown.

This is still his channel, right?

"Well, as much as I want to ask to make him a guest, I’m not at the level where I could randomly approach him. He’s an S-Class awakener and here to do his job. I can’t just suddenly barge in and drag him to appear in front of my camera, right?" Qin Mian reasoned out.

Most of his fans realized their demands were unrealistic, so they agreed and let it go.

However, his top fan, RevolutionaryBender, commented.

[I’ll give you ten unicorns worth one hundred thousand yuan if you stage being in trouble and call for Shen Yuan. If he comes to your rescue, then I’ll give you another ten]
