129 Chapter 129 - Who’s Behind That Tree? (2/2)

Gu Fei did not respond to her teasing.

”Hey, what's wrong? Please wake up!” Luo Luo became anxious when the beauty remained motionless after getting tapped by her. Holding the lady's shoulders, Luo Luo gave them a few firm shakes.

Gu Fei could clearly see the lady's features now that her face was turned toward him and he immediately froze.

Vast Lushness. She was the demoness who was responsible for the hardships of countless players in Yueye City in the past. In addition, she was the one that that had forced Will-low and her friends to leave their home city.

When Gu Fei and the rest of Young Master's Elite mercenary group left Yueye City, the all out war between the behemoth Past Deeds Guild and the allied small guilds had only just begun. He did not even bother to find out how things had turned out in Yueye City ever since his departure. A month had passed since then. Vast Lushness' sudden appearance here made Gu Fei wonder how the large-scale guild war had turned out.

Vast Lushness finally opened her eyes after experiencing Luo Luo's violent shaking. Her glazed over eyes slowly regained their awareness as she sat up while looking at them, ”You two are….””Were you… sleeping?” Luo Luo asked in disbelief; she actually mistakenly thought that something serious had befallen the lady.

Vast Lushness nodded her head, ”It has been forever since I last logged off. I only wanted to rest for a bit behind this tree, but I accidentally fell asleep instead.”

”What are you doing here?” Luo Luo asked, perplexed.

”I'm looking for Yunduan City. Is this near Yunduan City? Are you Yunduan City's players? That's great! I finally met other players,” Vast Lushness happily picked herself up. She was talking to Luo Luo at first, but her gaze instinctively shifted to Gu Fei when she said 'players'. Her gaze did not shift after that as it stayed on Gu Fei for the longest time.

Black mask, black mage robes, and a purple blade gleaming with dark luster... The image was burned deeply into Vast Lushness' mind.

However, Gu Fei was not wearing a mask right now. He also kept Moonlit Nightfalls into his dimensional pocket when he realized that it was her. Vast Lushness could not identify him solely from the robe alone; black mage robes were no longer as rare as before, after all.

Gu Fei had yet to make a sound and only Luo Luo spoke to her, ”You wish to head to Yunduan City?”

Vast Lushness finally switched her gaze from Gu Fei to Luo Luo as she nodded her head in affirmation, ”Yup. I'm from Yueye City, so I don't know the way. I got lost after crossing the Oolong Mountain Range. I've been running around this map for so long, but I've yet to meet anyone. I'm only at level 30 so I don't dare to wander off too far. It's a good thing that I met you two.”

”Wah! You're only at level 30…” Luo Luo exclaimed, saying, ”This is a level 50 grinding map!”

”Yeah, that's why I don't dare to move any further. I have to be careful with every step I take, as dying will send me back to Yueye City since I have yet to log off over at a safe zone in Yunduan City,” Vast Lushness affirmed.

Currently, most players were around level 38 to 40, and those at level 30 were basically new players who had just started playing Parallel World for a few days. Vast Lushness was a veteran player when the game was still in beta. She was already at level 30 last month, yet she was still at level 30 right now; it was obvious which side had won the guild war in Yueye City. For Vast Lushness to not even be able to raise one level this entire month, it seemed that she had quite the tough time.

She was looking the part of someone who had not gone offline for so long as well, as her eyes were bloodshot and her face looked haggard. Luo Luo sympathetically tugged on her hand and said, ”We're grinding our levels over there. You should join us as well. We'll bring you back to the city together later.”

”Thank you so much,” Vast Lushness nodded her head.

Just as she was about to tag along, a voice suddenly rang out, ”Over there!”

The three looked toward the voice's origin and saw a number of players running down the hill toward them. Vast Lushness's face visibly paled as she sighed, ”They found me.”

”Who are they?” Luo Luo's inquisitive spirit was piqued.

”They are people of Yueye City who are hunting me… I have many enemies; our guild has been hunted constantly ever since we lost to them. To think that they would find their way here,” Vast Lushness admitted to them.

Luo Luo stared at Gu Fei, clearly wanting him to make a decision. If they were to help Vast Lushness, Gu Fei would have to do the attacking; as a Priest, Luo Luo could not make any form of decision in this situation.

However, Gu Fei remained noncommittal regarding the situation. Answering a cry for justice was a chance he had been waiting for quite a long time, yet reality always seemed to always make fun of people, especially him, for the person Gu Fei currently needed to help was none other than Vast Lushness… This woman was not a good person, even though her current predicament was quite pitiful. That's right! Where is her husband? Where has that guy called Silver Moon gone off to? Gu Fei was still muttering this to himself when the men from downhill arrived before them. These men wore a shocked expression upon seeing the three.

”It's you?” one person facing them addressed Luo Luo.

Gu Fei raised his head and looked at the bounty hunters. F*ck, these men are no good either. The one in charge of this lot was the person that that had gone incognito for a while: No Smile.
