Chapter 31: Promise (2/2)

Saying that, s.h.i.+ San’s eyes seemed to glow as he stared at me, “Lu Chen, what relation did you actually have with the great beauty Lin Yi Xin?”

“No relations.h.i.+p at all.”

“”Wuwu&h.e.l.lip;” s.h.i.+ San replied, aggrieved, “How could you know so many beauties, Lin Yi Xin, He Yi, and now Mu Rong Ming Yue&h.e.l.lip;”

Saying that, he grabbed my neck and shook it with all his might, turning my head into a rattle drum. He asked aloud as he shook me hard, “Say it quickly, Lin Yi Xin must have been interested in you, right?”

“Interested in your dreams!”

I shoved his hands away and said, “Lin Yi Xin and I only planned to work together in-game, our relations.h.i.+p was not as complicated as you think. The relations.h.i.+p between He Yi and I was merely guildmaster and her subordinate; it had always been that way. As for Ming Yue-jie and I, we are only close in game&h.e.l.lip;”

At this point of time, a clear and sweet voice resounded from behind me–

“Was our relations.h.i.+p that&h.e.l.lip;.complicated?”

Turning around, I was so shocked that my soul almost flew out of my body. Unknowingly, Wind Fantasy, also known as Lin Yi Xin, was standing right behind us. She had already put her cloak away; That white cloak she was wearing previously had changed into a cape that rested on her back. This allowed her pitch black hair to flow down flawlessly like waterfall. Her snow-white face was now revealed, igniting desires of several men, and her pair of mesmerizing purple-coloured eyes made it hard for others to keep an eye contact on her. She was simply beautiful beyond compare.

Lin Yi Xin’s equipment was of high quality. She wore a silver-coloured armour, graceful and dignified. Her armour accentuated her beautiful curves, especially the two round mounds on her chest, those shockingly beautiful ridges practically made every single guy’s blood boil with desire. Looking down, below her skirt armour, was a pair of snow white, long legs protected by a metal runic armour, followed by a coffee-brown Barbarian Boots. Only three words could describe the current Lin Yi Xin today: G.o.ddess of War!

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;

“Gulp.”

“Gulp.”

I swallowed my saliva, and following me, s.h.i.+ San also swallowed his saliva. Both of us looked at each other, disdain coloured our expressions.

Lin Yi Xin giggled a little, “Lu Chen, you&h.e.l.lip; Forget it, I’m going to do my quest. See you later!”

Saying that, Lin Yi Xin brushed past me and walked out of the City Gate. She didn’t turn around but raised her hands and waved, saying bye.

s.h.i.+ San and I were frozen for quite a while. Lin Yi Xin’s beauty was simply too attractive, so much that there were many players staring at her back for a full three minutes with their mouths agape even after she walked away. There were many good things in life that should be chased after, but unfortunately, Wind Fantasy’s name was so renowned in Floating Ice City. Who would dare to chase after such a strong girl? Let’s get back to making rice b.a.l.l.s instead.

Before long, a bell resounded in my ears --

“Ding~!”

System announcement: Congratulations, your cooking skill levelled up by +1!

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;

Phew! Finally, my cooking skill reached level 3, I could now collect the materials for level 3 food item. Even level 2 food items could already be sold for such a high price, let alone level 3 food items. The current average level for players now is not even at lvl. 30 yet, so level 2 food items should be enough for their use. But when others have reached level 30 and thinking of Boss killing or PK-ing, they would need lvl.3 food items.

Right at this time, my heart started to jump wildly suddenly, “thump thump”, as I saw two familiar faces walking towards us!

In the potions store, two players were buying health potions, and the ID on top of their heads could be clearly read–

Burning Sun LV-26 warrior

Mu Rong Ming Yue LV-25 priest

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;

It was indeed Xu Yang and Mu Rong Ming Yue!

I didn’t even dare to breathe as I watched those two brushed past me, hearing their conversation in my ears --

Xu Yang: “Aih, boss only created an account, she had never logged in ever since this game opened a week ago, not even once&h.e.l.lip;”

Mu Rong Ming Yue: “That’s because Lu Chen is gone&h.e.l.lip;”

Xu Yang: “Did you ask the boss when would she finally log in? Ancient Sword Dream is like a guild without a dream whenever she’s not here.”

Mu Rong Ming Yue sighed and replied, “Let’s wait awhile more. I’ve been trying to console Eve everyday for these past few days, and I don’t even know how long it would take&h.e.l.lip; She only just started to be able to walk out from her dark place after losing Lu Chen&h.e.l.lip;”

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;

The two people continued to walk further away, and finally disappeared into the forest.

Du s.h.i.+ San patted my shoulders, saying, “Bro, be strong!”

I smiled, “I’m alright, shall we sell sticky rice b.a.l.l.s?”

“Alright!”
