Chapter 719: Mail, an invitation out of nowhere (1/2)
”Papa! Come eat!”
A tender voice caught Wu Yan's attention. Heretofore, he was reading the papers. He turned around to see Yui holding a steaming hot dish overhead. She kept appearing between the kitchen and the dining table.
”Be right there...”
Wu Yan smiled at Yui. He continued reading the papers.
”Here, Yui...”
Asuna pa.s.sed Yui another dish.
”This is the last one...”
Yui nodded enthusiastically, she dashed away to put the dish on the dining table. Asuna removed her ap.r.o.n as she looked at the sofa.
”Are there any important news today?”
Asuna peeked at Wu Yan's paper from behind him.
”Judging from your serious look, is it the protest rally again?”
Wu Yan rolled his eyes at her.
”Those jokers are probably grinding hard to make up for the days spent on protesting our wedding. Seriously, don't they have quests to finish?”
Asuna pursed her lips. She turned her head the other way without giving it another thought. The protest rallies are aimed at the wedding between Asuna and Wu Yan. Even if they called themselves avid fans of hers, she didn't have the slightest iota of goodwill for them.
It's not like she was forced into this marriage. She genuinely wants to spend the rest of her life with Wu Yan and that's why she tied the knot with him. These people who had nothing better to do came and they used their admiration towards her as a guise to protest their union. Asuna is already doing pretty well for tolerating their behavior, any other girl would probably tell these bozos to buzz off.
She saw the looks on her fans, she knew what they were really after and that's why she couldn't be bothered to think twice about the shallow a.s.sholes. If it were Liz, anyone who had something to say about her nuptial with Kirito better get ready to get some sense knocked into them. In the face. With her exquisitely-made hammer.
As for Asuna, there are only so many people that can trigger her so much that she wants to kick their a.s.ses. Aside from Kuradeel who got sent to meet his maker, there is no one else on her black list at the moment.
”If it's not the protest, what's got you so riled up then?”
Asuna said with a confused tone.
I thought you barely cared about trivial news...”
”Well, I do make exceptions...”
Wu Yan drank his black tea.
”I care about news regarding clearing, or what the front-line raiders are doing, I usually ignore other news...”
Asuna lowered her head. She hesitated before asking Wu Yan a question.
”W-what about the clearing progress?”
”They are already exploring the labyrinth...”
Wu Yan said. Asuna gasped in shock.
”It's only been two weeks since the new floor opened up, right?”
”It's slow compared to how fast we cleared the 74th floor...”
Wu Yan pursed his lips.
”That was different, this is the 75th floor!”
Asuna said with a worried look.
”This boss is probably going to be a tough nut to crack just like the floor bosses on the 25th and 50th floor. I think they should take more care. If it were up to me, I would scout the labyrinth first before we dive into the dungeon, are they going to be okay like this?”
”You're worrying too much...”
Wu Yan turned around. He looked into her eyes.
”Without you, Heathcliff is now taking the stage. You should know how capable he is. With him in charge, we don't have to worry too much.”
Asuna flinched and then she agreed with him.
”I almost forgot the captain is the leader of the raid group, I am sure he's a major reason why the raid group reached the labyrinth in less than half a month...”
”Oh? You sound like you trust the captain a lot ...”
Wu Yan rubbed his chin.
”I recall that he rarely fought outside of floor clearing raids, right? Are you sure he can handle tasks like leading the raid group?”
”That's because you never saw the captain in action!”
Asuna sat by Wu Yan's side. She started telling her story with a serious look as her eyes stared into the distance.
”At first, the knights of Blood Oath is only a small guild, there were less than a dozen members in the guild, a far cry from what the guild is today!”
