Chapter 465 (2/2)
For some reason, Moonkiss shot me a weird look before sucking at her straw. ”Sky City's the one that's full of heroes, okay? Do you know how much pressure both Wind City and Vanished G.o.d City felt? Ling Xueshang, Warsky, and October Rain were veterans of the trade, but now there's also Wind Fantasy and From Water to consider. Sister w.a.n.g Luo told me that all three of you are geniuses among geniuses, and the amazing part is that all three of you are gathered in one place. That is why we both believe that Sky City will be the center of the guild wars and even the Nation Wars as well, hehe…”
I shot her a dumbfounded look. ”You are exaggerating. We're just normal players, okay…”
”Hehe, your denial is futile. Just wait and see if you really don't believe me…” Moonkiss stretched her back lazily. ”No matter how powerful Candle Dragon is, it can't change the fact that Snowy Cathaya and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls have become powerful enough to sway the hearts of any China player. The days where Candle Dragon is the sole strongest guild of China are already over…”
I couldn't help but smile. ”That doesn't matter. What matters is that the servers of China grow stronger and more interesting because of us. That, is what I consider a true honor.”
”Mn!”
……
The food we ordered finally arrived. As we walked back with the packed food, Moonkiss kept chatting, ”Lu Chen, there's a female warrior in your guild called Chaos Moon, right?”
”Yeah, why?”
”Her ID matches mine, so I was wondering if I could have a relations.h.i.+p with her…”
”WTF!”
The corner of my lips turned upward. ”No way, you can't waste your beauty or Chaos Moon's in a lesbian relations.h.i.+p! That's so selfis.h.!.+ Think of the feelings of other male players…”
”So what? I don't believe in love anymore! Oh right, I heard that you shared a great relations.h.i.+p with From Water and Wind Fantasy? So, how were they? You guys had a threesome yet?” She stared at me with s.h.i.+ny eyes.
I couldn't hold myself back any longer. ”Moonkiss, never join our guild, now or ever…”
”Why…”
”You'll bring corruption to our ways…”
”Hehe, now that I think about it, maybe it's not such an impossible proposition after all. Maybe Sister w.a.n.g Luo will agree to a political marriage between a representative of Purple Lily and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. It'll be like the kingdoms of the olden days! I don't mind sacrificing myself for the cause. What do you think?”
”Do what you want. n.o.body wants you anyway…”
”Uuuu…”
……
When we returned to the KTV, we saw that everyone was still engaged in a casual conversation with each other. Beiming Xue walked up to me and said, ”You took your time, big bro. I'm so hungry I could die…”
”Mn, enjoy your food while it's still hot!”
The two of us immediately chowed down our food without paying any heed to the audience around us. They were all eating snacks or downing beers anyway. Moonkiss also grabbed a pair of chopsticks and stole some chopped pepper fish head for herself. Her features lightened up as she praised the deliciousness of the food.
In the room, the former cla.s.smates continued to chat with each other or sing karaoke. That Ouyang didn't drink because he claimed that he had to drive later. I didn't drink either because I had to drive Beiming Xue back home.
Ouyang's att.i.tude toward me wasn't really good. He arrogantly asked me some loaded questions—
”How much do you earn per month, Lu Chen?”
”Hmm, that depends…”
”Surely you've earned at least 5000 per month, right? I heard that life as a pro gamer is pretty difficult, although I guess it's for Beiming Xue to taste the hards.h.i.+ps of life when she's still young than later.”
”How can you say that? a.s.suming that I earned a paltry sum of 2000 RMB per month, that is still no reason to make Beiming Xue suffer, is it?”
……
Beside me, Moonkiss couldn't hold her incredulity and spat out her drink. She stared at me and said, ”f.u.c.k, I can't believe you just say that, you heartless b.a.s.t.a.r.d…”
Ouyang looked completely confused.
Time pa.s.sed quickly, and soon it was 11:30 pm. It was really starting to get late, and if we didn't return home in time He Yi might actually come to the city in search of us.
We all went downstairs and arrived at the car park. Ouyang hadn't touched any alcohol, so his footsteps were very stable. He walked up to Beiming Xue solicitously and said, ”It's too late to take a taxi, Beiming. Would you like me to send you home?”
Ouyang then took out his car keys in one practiced motion and pressed a b.u.t.ton. Not far away, a red-colored Honda Accord lit up.
I couldn't help but smile and wrap an arm around Beiming Xue's shoulders. ”It's fine, we have our own car, but thank you for your sentiment…”
I pulled out my own car keys and pressed a b.u.t.ton. My new and cool BMW X12 immediately responded with a beep.
In that moment, Ouyang's face turned as ugly as you could imagine. Barely holding in her laughter, Moonkiss shook all over like she was going to faint at any moment.
