Chapter 57: Divine Genius (2/2)

As he spoke, Du Thirteen was slightly moved, and patted my shoulder. He said with a smile, ”Lu Chen, if your Beauty Lin wants to give herself to you, it would be good if our b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries joined Lin Yixin's future guild!”

I shook my head decisively and said gravely, ”Thirteen, this is not possible.”

”Why... why not?” Du Thirteen was slightly puzzled.

I looked at him and emphasized each word, ”The b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries workshop is an independent group. Even if we joined other guilds, there would only be one guild worthy of b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries joining them—Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!”

”Ugh...” Du Thirteen looked dazedly at me.

Gui Guzi clenched his fists and said, ”Lu Chen, I support you! I know some of what happened in Spirit of Grief. People should stand up for their friends. If one day you return to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, I am willing to follow you there!”

I nodded and smiled. ”Thank you!”

Du Thirteen said, ”We have to plan this for the long term. The Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls guild doesn't exist right now. That's far off. Also, there seems to only be Hot Sun and Murong Mingyue left from the guild's core. The two of them aren't enough to establish a guild in the near future.”

I did not speak. Du Thirteen was right. But with me present, hmph, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls would be famous throughout Floating Ice City!

Even though I could not honestly meet He Yi and join Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls with my present health situation, b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries and I would do everything to protect her, and help Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls establish themselves in Floating Ice City.

……

As soon as we returned to our residence, we went online!

Swoos.h.!.+

My vision was slightly dim, as I was sleeping in a grave.

I climbed out and inhaled a breath of fresh air. I couldn't help but laugh and shouted toward the wild forest like the experts in the movies did, ”Pa.s.sersby, do not cry for my death. If I'm alive, none of you can live!”

After shouting, I felt very good inside.

But at this time, rustling came from a tent by the forest. A beautiful figure burrowed out of the tent. Elegant armor covered her body. She carried a sword and a dagger. Her long hair fell over her cloak and her purple eyes were dazzling.

This was Lin Yixin. She had built a tent by Frost Mound before going offline. So arrogant!

I reached out and took out a card from my bag, heading toward her.

Whoos.h.!.+

The card flew in the sky to form a bright formation that covered Lin Yixin. A hexagram formation array spun furiously under Lin Yixin's feet.

”Hm?”

Lin Yixin's seductive mouth was open as she looked at the formation at her feet in surprise. A few seconds later, she realized. This was the effect of a Sealing Card!

Her face immediately turned red like an apple maturing in autumn. She glared at me and said angrily, ”Lu Chen, you want to die? You dare to seal this lady? Do I look like a Level 1 pet to you?”

I laughed out loud. Lin Yixin had guessed my thoughts. Honestly speaking, I really wanted to seal her and take her along with me all day. She could help me fight monsters, and she was nice to look at. If that was the case, I would die of happiness.

”Yiyi, did you come to Frost Mound to find me?” I asked.

”Yes.” Lin Yixin nodded and did not say anything else.

”What for?”

Lin Yixin blinked her eyes and said, ”To go explore a map together. Are you interested?”

I nodded. ”What level are the monsters there?”

”Very high!”

”No problem, I have to level up, and by the way...” I hesitated and said with a smile, ”We can also let our feelings mature as we level up, right?”

”Really?”

Lin Yixin smiled, two pointed teeth peeking through her grin. This was characteristic of a young female succubus. While they were fangs, they looked adorable; though that didn't stop me from feeling cold all over at the sight. Lin Yixin was as beautiful as a G.o.ddess, but when angered, she would quickly turn into a demon. I have to be more careful. Otherwise, she'll sell me and make me help her count the money. If it was Thirteen or Gui Guzi, she probably would have done it already.

Du Thirteen had no immunity toward beautiful women while Gui Guzi's head was slightly slow. In Du Thirteen's words, he was slightly dumb. Gui Guzi was a grinding genius. The difference between genius and talent was dumbness, so in this case, being slightly dumb was beneficial.

I asked, ”Yiyi, what's the map? Can you share?”

”Sure.”

Lin Yixin pulled me into her party and then raised her hand. Immediately, a yellowed ancient map appeared in front of me. Lin Yixin's small hand quickly tapped over it. Blue ripples spread. This was a place far from Floating Ice City called ”Ghost Valley.” It appeared that it was filled with undead monsters.

”Cough cough...” I paused and said, ”Yiyi, I am skilled at undead attacks, but have no attack bonus on undead creatures. What do you want me for?”

Lin Yixin smiled, and looked dismissively at me. She said, her smile reaching her ears, ”Do not flatter yourself, I don't want you, I want your Dark Wasp's attack power. With it present, we can definitely sweep Ghost Valley in twenty-four hours. Go repair your equipment and prepare to set out.”

I was slightly speechless. So in Lin Yixin's eyes, I was less valuable than a Dark Wasp!

I finished preparing for battle and departed!

Under the light of the setting sun, a small skeleton warrior and a beautiful female battle G.o.ddess set off on our journey. What would be waiting ahead for us?

Who cares, we'll just keep on walking anyway.
