Chapter 245 (2/2)
I tossed out a ”Dodge” casually. ”Easy.”
Murong Mingyue selected Zhang Fei and attacked me again. ”Hehe, can you dodge a second time?”
But my general was Zhao Yun, and I had nothing to be afraid of. I slapped an ”Attack” card on top of Murong Mingyue's hand before rubbing my palms together. ”Flexibility is my greatest strength!”
It was Chaos Moon's turn. After giggling and activating Lady Zhen's ability, the ”G.o.ddess of Luo”, she was able to draw 11 cards in a row before her luck finally came to an end. It was so ridiculous that Xu Yang and I had to stare at her with eyes as wide as saucers.
After that, Chaos Moon equipped her weapon and began her a.s.sault. She threw out 5 ”Attack” cards in a row and annihilated poor Xu Yang in an instant. He let out a tearful scream before flipping over his ident.i.ty card. He was a Rebel just as I had predicted earlier!
I was the only guy left in the game, so the girls immediately joined forces and took me out next, successfully killing yet another Rebel.
Finally, Chaos Moon defeated Murong Mingyue and unveiled her ident.i.ty card. Oh my, she was a Traitor!
He Yi couldn't stop herself from sighing. ”Ai, what a terrible Emperor I am. To think that three out of four elders are either Rebels or Traitors!”
Murong Mingyue giggled. ”Alright, alright, next game!”
……
It was past 10 pm by the time we realized that it was getting really late. Everyone needed a rest after the exciting night, not to mention that we had to wake up early and check exactly what had changed after the new patch was up. Although Floating Ice City Palace had almost been utterly destroyed by Cardilla during yesterday's epic battle, I expected it to be rebuilt once the system maintenance was complete. Surely this was enough time for Princess Karinshan to build a new palace, right?
Everyone had been drinking, so none of us could drive, be it for safety or legal reasons. In the end, Murong Mingyue had to make a call to the GGS company at Suzhou and ask a driver to send us back home.
It was really late when the members of the Frost Cloud workshop finally made it back home. He Yi and Murong Mingyue had drunk a lot of liquor, so their cheeks were completely red. Not only that, the drunkards absolutely refused to climb out of their seats. In the end, I had to put their arms around my shoulders, carry them all the way upstairs before finally dumping them on the sofas.
I locked the door and went downstairs again because Beiming Xue was still sitting unconsciously inside the car. In a sense, she was unlucky that she had us as her friends. He Yi and Murong Mingyue were at least experienced drinkers due to the necessities of the business industry, but Beiming Xue was just a young woman who had graduated not too long ago. There was no chance she could've kept up with Du Thirteen and Gui Guzi.
I opened the car and carried Beiming Xue in my arms. She naturally wrapped her arms around my neck before smiling at me. ”Big bro?”
”I'm here.”
I locked the car and carried her upstairs while dealing with her drunken antics patiently.
Once all three women were properly set down on their bed, I closed the door, took a bath and sank into oblivion immediately after my head hit the pillow. After an entire day of work and pleasure, I was so tired I could die.
……
Countless images pa.s.sed through my head as I dreamt.
I was in a town, standing on a broken bridge, its tiles like chessboard, black and white. My Purgatory Sword in hand, I looked down and saw a girl standing in the middle of the river. It was Xinran. The bare-footed girl was was.h.i.+ng her skirt and giggling like a bell.
Suddenly, the ground split apart without warning, and both the river and Xinran fell into h.e.l.l. I tried to grab her before she fell, but my entire body felt as heavy as lead. I could barely move, much less rush to her side and save her.
Before I could do anything else, the ground split apart again in a shower of blood and spat out Xinran. She was now wielding the Dragonbone Spear and clad in black armor. Worse, she was staring at me full of killing intent for some reason. Then, she rushed toward me and stabbed me with her spear!
”Xinran?” I called out. The only response I got was a scorching pain in my chest.
Suddenly, I felt a warm body behind me. When I turned around, I saw a female warrior charging toward Xinran and swinging her sword horizontally. ”Get lost!”
”Bang!”
Xinran was knocked far, far away from me. I stared at my rescuer in shock. ”Yiyi, is that you?”
Lin Yixin stared at me. ”What are you doing, stupid!”
”I…”
……
The dream suddenly faded away, and I returned to reality once more. I scratched my scalp without opening my eyes, feeling the throbbing pain inside my head. Ah s.h.i.+t, I should've known that alcohol would make a mess of everything.
Suddenly, I heard a tiny whimper right beside my ears. I s.h.i.+vered from head to toe. Is… is that a woman's voice I just heard? But why is there a woman in my room?
I tried to move my arm to no avail. I quickly discovered that it was because something hot and soft was pressing down against it. Oh my G.o.d, did I fall asleep with a girl in my arms? But how was that possible? I remembered clearly that I went to bed alone!
I looked down and saw two awesome puppies barely held together by a T-s.h.i.+rt. They were squeezed together in such a way that blood rushed into my head in an instant. Looking up, I was greeted by the sight of a beautiful face and a breathtaking, dimpled smile!
My body turned into stone in an instant. He Yi?!
