Chapter 17: I’m Very Hur (1/2)

Hugging the book “Encouragement”, He Yi collapsed to the floor and cried like a baby. Her white shirt was drenched in tears, and her coffee-colored uniform and short skirt hugged her shapely body tightly. The curves peeking out of her miniskirt were one of the major reasons Du Thirteen’s mind wasn’t with him.

“Ahem…”

A long time later, Du Thirteen let out a cough and said, “As you can see, lady, Lu Chen is no longer with us. So…”

“I… I…”

He Yi shot Du Thirteen a look. Her eyes were puffy and teary. “Go somewhere else. Leave me alone!”

“But!”

Du Thirteen spread his arms helplessly before saying, “But you are disturbing my daily life. Please control yourself.”

He Yi’s tone grew a little angrier. “Leave me alone!”

This time Du Thirteen didn’t dare say anything. He Yi’s forceful attitude wasn’t something he could deal with.

A very long time later, He Yi finally got back to her feet while still holding the book. She looked around the room yearningly one last time before leaving.

Relieved that it was finally over, Du Thirteen knocked on the door and said, “You can come out now, Lu Chen. She’s gone.”

My expression was ugly when I left the storage room. Du Thirteen knew what I was thinking, so he patted me on the shoulder. “Chin up, this sorrow is only going to last for a moment. Once your body is completely healed, you can return to her and give her a pleasant surprise. Isn’t that right?”

I nodded. I was surprised that Du Thirteen could say something like that, he normally had no clue how to console others.

“Speaking of which, He Yi is incredibly beautiful…” Du Thirteen praised from the bottom of his heart.

I couldn’t help but ask with a laugh. “Oh? How beautiful is she exactly?”

Du Thirteen hummed to himself for a moment before replying, “She looks like a million dollars!”

“Not bad, you know how to use idioms now.”

“Fuck you!”

“Come on, let’s head downstairs and eat some Suan Cai Yu. My treat. I’ve been starving the whole day.” Du Thirteen walked to the window and looked outside. Suddenly, he withdrew his head and exclaimed in surprise, “She… she hasn’t left yet…”

I moved to the edge of my bed and peeked out. As he said, He Yi was still sitting inside her car and lying on top of the steering wheel. Her shoulders were trembling slightly.

I couldn’t describe how painful it was for me to see her like this. I felt the impulse to run down the stairs and tell her that although I had been killed, I was still alive.

I held back the irrational impulse with all my might. Du Thirteen went downstairs himself to buy some food for the both of us.

When the clock reached 11 pm, a woman dressed in a black skirt uniform showed up and consoled He Yi for a moment. Then, she took the driver’s seat from He Yi and drove the Lamborghini away.

I recognized the woman. She was Murong Mingyue, one of the four elders of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls.

“So this is how sister Mingyue looks like…” I muttered to myself.

Beside me, Du Thirteen wiped his saliva away before saying, “Wow, her bust is amazing…”

I nodded. Murong Mingyue’s class was Priest, and her eternal motto was: “No one’s starving while this busty lady’s around!”

I shot him a look before saying, “Keep your imagination to yourself. Neither Murong Mingyue nor He Yi are available to you, get it?”

“But why?” Du Thirteen asked in confusion.

“I don’t know!” I replied without hesitation.

“Tch, never mind then. Let’s eat!”

“Mn.”

After the two of us had filled up our bellies completely, Du Thirteen asked, “What should we do now?”

“We log in and level up to 30 to heal our hearts. Don’t forget I’m very hurt right now,” I said with an enigmatic smile.

Du Thirteen nodded. “Mn, you’re right. When the time is right, let’s create a super guild and dominate the world, wahahahaha! Alright, time to level up to 30!”

“Why don’t you focus on getting to 15 first…”

“...”

According to Heavenblessed’s official materials, Level 30 was a dividing line where players could officially promote their class to higher rank. It was also known as the second class promotion. Ability to capture and use pets was only available to players at Level 30 and above, which was why countless players were leveling as if their lives depended on it. They all wanted to become the first person to undergo their second class promotion, reap the rewards, and gain powerful pets to aid them in battle as soon as possible.
