Chapter 267: Flower Fairy (1/2)
Rustle rustle…
My Death Shade War Boots stepped on grass and stones as the light of dawn broke through the clouds and entered my eyes. A new dawn had arrived inside the game.
”Ah, wait…”
Lin Yixin suddenly stopped in her tracks with a complicated expression.
”What’s wrong?” I asked.
”I’m hungry…”
”My god, you ate almost half a pig during lunch not long ago! How on earth are you hungry again…” I expressed my sincere confusion to her.
She shot me a grudgeful look before replying, ”I’m talking about in-game Satiety, stupid. How long do you think we’ve been fighting? My Satiety is about to drop below 30.”
He Yi also suggested with a smile, ”I’m feeling a bit hungry as well. Why don’t we rest for a bit and wait until it’s morning before we continue? Just in case we fight another boss like the Root Protector, our prospects will be much better than before.”
”True.”
So I found a large rock, sat down and stabbed the Purgatory Sword into the ground. Then, I took out the rations I had bought from Floating Ice City and started eating. It was bread. You could buy it from any NPC vendor, and basically every player had to eat at least 10 loaves of Coarse Bread to maintain their Satiety meter.
Everyone started munching bread for a bit. Even Lin Yixin was kneeling on the beautiful grassland and eating slowly like a lady. Out of all the consumables in the game, food was the one thing that had a long animation when consumed. The designers were probably afraid that some hasty players would accidentally choke themselves to death.
A few minutes later, I clapped my hands and said, ”Phew, it’s amazing you can eat dozens of loaves of bread in one gulp! This game knows what it’s doing!”
Lin Yixin stood up and agreed, ”Same here. I ate a dozen or so too…”
I looked at the flat stomach beneath her armor and teased her. ”That being said, your stomach should really be bulging like a pregnant lady after eating so many loaves in one go…”
Lin Yixin immediately turned red and glared at me. ”I am not pregnant!”
Even Murong Mingyue joined me on the teasing. ”Of course you aren’t, you just learned the Profound Ice Armor, didn’t you? That skill has birth-control effects, you know?”
He Yi and Beiming Xue burst into giggles. Lin Yixin turned redder before urging, ”Come on, let’s get back to the grind already!”
I nodded and looked around me. ”You know, this place is really beautiful. If we run into another secluded place like this, we should have a picnic like this again…”
Suddenly, a meaningful smile blossomed across Murong Mingyue’s lips. ”All of us together?”
”Of course!”
”Are you sure you’re planning a picnic, not outdoor sex?”
”...”
I fell silent for a moment before replying, ”I can’t talk to you when you are like this…”
”Hoho~~”
……
We went back to our journey. We were nearing the end of Hundred Flower Valley, but I was still worried about Xinran. Her injuries were so serious that even the great witch doctor of the Blood Dance Legion couldn’t do anything to help her. Worse, she could only begin to heal after I brought the Frost Snowball’s petals back to her. I was anxious to say the least. Besides, what if she left me after she healed completely?
A sense of loss permeated in my heart the moment I thought of it.
We didn’t walk for long before Beiming Xue said, ”Oh, I spot a mob right ahead of us! Flower Fairy? That’s a pretty nice name!”
I perked up in excitement. ”Flower Fairy? That sounds wonderful! I wonder if I can catch one as a pet…”
Standing atop a hill, Lin Yixin laughed at me and said, ”Do it if you want. No one will stop you!”
I got up the hill myself and shivered in terror when I saw the true form of the so-called Flower Fairy. It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that it had left a shadow in my heart. The mob was called ”Flower Fairy”, and it was a humanoid creature, but there were several problems. One, its face was an amalgamation of Sister Feng and Sister Furong. Two, its body was ”perfect” if you believed that having a waist size equal to the sum of your bust size and hip size was ”perfect”. Besides that, it wore a shirt that was sewn from leaves, a flower on top of its head, and an oversized red gown around its shoulders. Finally, it wielded a stone axe as a weapon, and it had roots instead of legs. Its movement speed was incredibly slow.
Flower Fairy (Elite)
Level: 95
Attack: 920~1080
Defense: 1000
HP: 25000
Skills: Poison Powder, Ice Thorn
Introduction: A type of fairy that lives deep within the forest. They possess both stunning beauty and incredible attack power. Several thousand years ago, the human nobles sent their elite guards into the forest in hopes of capturing Flower Fairies as their playthings. However, the fairies turned out to be far stronger than they imagined, and countless human soldiers were killed as a result.
……
I was absolutely stunned by the mob’s introduction. ”There are actually nobles who want to capture these things and turn them into their playthings? Sisters beyond, just how depraved do you have to be to even consider such a thing…”
He Yi shot me a glance. ”Didn’t you just say you want to catch one as a pet a minute ago?”
”Nope! You misheard me!” I pulled out my weapon and said, ”Anyway, I’m going to test their strength!”
