Chapter 250: The Reluctant Request

Yan Chuan fell silent.
After a long pause, the delicate and beautiful Eastern beauty awkwardly said, “It doesn’t mean anything…”
He had to admit that he had a bit of a bad habit of stealing: “I can’t help it; sometimes, I just want to secretly take something…”
Admitting he was a little thief was much easier than explaining why he wanted to steal the warden’s seal. At least Yan Chuan could blame it on being a “little thief.”
As for Ariel’s next question…
Yan Chuan raised his head, glancing at the expression on the warden’s face.
As indifferent as ever, without showing any emotion or sign of anger.
So should he just ask directly?
After hesitating and stammering for a while, the delicate and beautiful Eastern beauty showed a hesitant expression.
“Can I ask for anything?” he blinked, his eyes filled with hidden hope. “Really?”
The warden replied, “Go ahead.”
With a confirmed response, the Eastern beauty whispered, “Then I would like a map of the prison… is that okay?”
Yan Chuan thought to himself.
Since Ariel had asked him that, he couldn’t just avoid her and search for the map alone in the office.
Moreover, the map of the confinement island prison might not even be here.
Facing a method that encountered insurmountable problems, Yan Chuan could only find another way.
That was to ask the prison’s head if he could have a map of the confinement island prison.
This would avoid the issue of how to keep the warden, who was supposed to watch over him closely, distracted, and also eliminate the risk of being discovered after obtaining the map, which would require further explanation.
After all, even if he completed the task, such a blatant theft would be noticed quickly.
Now, he just needed to explain why he wanted the prison map.
He also had to face the warden’s scrutiny.
Yan Chuan sat up straighter, waiting to answer the warden’s questions.
But then he heard something that made his eyes widen.
“Okay,” Ariel casually responded, as though he had consented to some trivial condition. “Anything else?”
Yan Chuan shook his head.
He found it a bit hard to believe and hesitated.
Could it be that Ariel was just humoring him? Why would he so casually give him the map?
Although even if he got the map, he wouldn’t be able to do much, as he hadn’t really left the prison before.
But that didn’t quite sit right…
Yan Chuan felt like Ariel was definitely trying to deceive him, or perhaps this warden was just not competent enough.
He showed an expression of doubt.
Were the NPCs in this script really… too casual?
Yan Chuan was lost in thought.
Suddenly, a hand reached out in front of him.
“This.” Without him noticing, Ariel pulled out a piece of paper.
Yan Chuan hesitated before taking it.
There was no need to verify if Ariel was fooling him, as the notification sound for completing the task rang in his ear.
[A map is worth more than a wife’s smile.]
[People without wives won’t understand; even if a wife wants the stars in the sky, they must be picked for her!]
[Don’t love too much.]
[Jealous men are the scariest. I’m telling you, nowadays, bad guys are doing their utmost to push others down to show their abilities before their wives.]
[Using beauty to pass the test, a great victory for Yan Chuan!]
“Why are you giving this to me…” Yan Chuan still couldn’t believe it and asked quietly.
The notification sound for completing the task rang loudly in his ear, which was undeniable. Yet, looking at the paper in his hands and then at Ariel’s finely contoured profile, he hesitated and asked.
Did this NPC mean he would give him anything he wanted?
Why?
The previously flustered Eastern beauty now looked at him with a bewildered expression.
Having often been teased for being delicate, hearing the teasing term “little mouse” made his cheeks tinge slightly red.
It was clear he was upset.
Now that he had obtained “what he wanted,” he looked rather obedient with his confused expression.
“Maybe it’s because the prison is more lenient toward little mice who steal.” The warden’s eyes also carried a hint of a smile, which seemed genuine.
He looked at the Eastern beauty’s fair and lovely face and managed a smile: “Keeping one at home isn’t out of the question.”
Yan Chuan paused for a moment, his cheeks puffing up in anger.
This person was talking nonsense again!
