Chapter 185: Ironclad Defense (2/2)

“Mn. Keep it up!”

I yawned. While I was checking my system notices, I noticed that I had also gotten a huge boost in rank in the Blood Dance Legion. I was now a Rank 4 Ash Knight. I wonder, what’s the military equivalent of this rank in real life, company commander or battalion commander? Well, whatever. At any rate, it is way better than being a Skeleton Soldier!

The girls were so excited that they wanted nothing more but to find another Myriad Poison Cave and ransack it from top to bottom. Unfortunately, a special zone like this would only become active when some player got a quest related to it, and since we’ve already activated Myriad Poison Cave once, it would be at least half a month before we could challenge the Poison Ghost King again. As for finding another awesome zone like that, where would we even begin? These special spots didn’t just grow on trees.

In the end, they listened to my suggestion and logged out of the game. We had been at it for 24 hours straight. Any longer than that and someone might actually die from this. I was what Lin Yixin called a “overnight cafe male”, so this wasn’t my first rodeo. The girls though most likely hadn’t developed the endurance necessary for this kind of hustle.

After we logged off, we went to a restaurant downstairs and ate some random food. Then, we staggered back to our rooms and slept like a log.

……

Maybe it was because I was too tired, but I had an inane dream.

I was sitting on a golden throne above the clouds while holding an unknown divine weapon and wearing a shiny battle armor. A beautiful woman with white wings—clearly an angel—was sitting on my thigh, and she said to me sweetly, “Godking, your servant missed you so much for the past few days!”

I wrapped my hands around her amazing waist and felt a surge of courage in my lungs. Looking down at the mortal realm from above, I sneered. “These grandmafucking devils must be tired of living to go against me, the Floating Cloud War God! Hmph! Just wait till I smite them with my divine punishment! Tremble in fear, mortals!”

I was having a lot of fun when a beautiful figure suddenly cut through the clouds and flew toward me. It was a female warrior wearing the same type of armor as I was. She kicked me to the floor and stepped on my fourth lumbar spine vertebra before commenting, “Hmm? I wasn’t expecting to see you here...”

I screamed like a pig in a slaughterhouse. “Yiyi, why are you here?”

Lin Yixin increased her strength. “Hmm? I wasn’t expecting to see you here…”

“Aahh! Yiyi, a gentleman uses his mouth and not his fist!”

All Lin Yixin did was look down on me expressionlessly and crushed my poor vertebra even harder. “Hmm? I wasn’t expecting to see you here…”

I lost control and screamed. “Aahh, I’m sorry, I should’ve given you a call sooner!”

Finally, the corner of Lin Yixin’s lips turned upward. “Hmph!”

……

“Hah!”

I abruptly rose up from bed. Thank god it was just a dream, no, a nightmare!

I grabbed my phone and checked the time. Fuck, it’s 6:30 already? My dinner with Lin Yixin was in half an hour at most! If I was late, my nightmare might actually come true!

I flew off the bed and sprinted into the bathroom. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and took a shower, all under 10 minutes.

I put on a T-shirt and finally rushed out of the door!

I was in the hallway when someone called out to me, “Hey, Lu Chen! Where are you going?”

I turned around and found a smiling Murong Mingyue. She clearly just had a bath since her hair was wet.

“Er, I have a dinner to catch and I’m about to be late, so talk to you later!”

I was about to leave in a hurry when Murong Mingyue grabbed my arm and stopped me. “Look at you, you look like you lost your soul or something. Hmm, wait…”

A mysterious smile crossed her lips as she raised her eyebrows. “Do you have a dinner date with Lin Yixin?”

My heart skipped a beat. “Fuck, how did you know?”

“Hmph hmph!” Murong Mingyue curled her lips proudly. “Do you know how many top-class beauties there are in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls? If Eve is number one, then I’m number two. Even Beiming Xue, Moonlight Stone and Chaos Moon are young and beautiful in their own right. How dare you eat out when you’re surrounded by so many girls!”

“Eat out? Is that how you use that term?”

I nearly threw up blood hearing that. “Anyway, cut the chitchat and come with me!”

I grabbed Murong Mingyue’s hand and dragged her downstairs. In the elevator, Murong Mingyue was struggling and complaining, “Why are you dragging me with you?”

I said, “I’m out of time, I need you to drive me to the university right now…”

Murong Mingyue’s mouth fell open. “Wow, that’s low, man. You’re eating out and you want me to drive you there? OMG, someone give me a block of tofu so I can kill myself…”

I stared into her eyes and said sincerely, “Or you can give me your car keys and I’ll drive there myself. Not that I’d mind...”

Having ran out of rants to say, Murong Mingyue tossed her car keys to me. “Don’t you dare crash my car, you hear? It took me half a year’s income to buy this A8, and unlike Eve, I don’t have the wealth to trash a Lamborghini every week or two. If I crashed a Lamborghini I’d have to work as someone else’s mistress for the rest of my life…”

I rolled my eyes at her. “Fuck, like there’s anyone in the world who can make the mighty Murong Mingyue his mistress!”

Murong Mingyue giggled. “There’s you…”

“I can’t afford you, dammit!”

“It’s okay, I can afford you…”

“...”

……

I drove straight toward the university after the verbal thrashing from Murong Mingyue. However, I got stuck in a freaking traffic jam! I checked the time and swore. Fuck rush hour!

I drove up a highway and detoured back down to the main street. I then made a mad dash for Happy House.

Doo doo…
