Chapter 384: Frozen (1/2)
Unfortunately, the boss only dropped one Convenience Gem, and I even gave it to Gui Guzi of my own initiative. That being said, everyone knew that Gui Guzi needed the shield more than everyone else, so it made sense to give it to him.
A bit of envy peeked out of He Yi’s features as she stared at the Titan Barrier. She looked at me, curled her lips but didn’t say anything.
I caught her look and wrapped an arm around her delicate shoulders with a smile. Then, I whispered next to her ears, ”It’s fine, there will always be more bosses to kill, and this is just a Spirit-grade shield. Look ahead! I’ll get you Immortal-grade shields, Earth-grade shields, Heaven-grade shields, and even Divine-grade shields in the future!”
He Yi snorted before rolling her eyes at me. ”Alright, you said it. You can’t go back on your words now, you hear me?”
”Mn, a nobleman’s word is his whip!”
”Heh…”
……
The boss also dropped two Cyanfire Gems and two Dragonstone Gems. Since He Yi and I weren’t partaking in the looting, they were divided between Chaos Moon, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Legendary Brave, and others. Li Chengfeng had slotted in the Cyanfire Gem he got into his sword on the spot, and when I asked him about it I learned that it was a Level 95 Dark Gold–grade weapon with a slot in it. Its stats were weaker than High Fighting Spirits’ Edgebreaker Battle Axe, but it was still pretty good.
……
After the boss was dead, we got ready to split up for dinner or more grinding. It was at this moment Lin Yixin sent me a message: ”Hey, Little Cheat?”
”I’m here. What is it?”
”I heard that your guild just got a couple of Level 125 super-tier equipment. Is that true?”
”WTF? How did you hear about this so quickly?”
”Hehe, that’s a secret… Anyway, I have two Convenience Gems with me. Are you interested in them? I can sell them for cheap to you…”
”Sure! See you at the eastern gate of Sky City then!”
”Okay!”
I immediately took out a return scroll and teleported back to Sky City in a white flash. After waiting at the plaza of the eastern gate for a moment, I saw Lin Yixin walking up to me. She was a Level 100 player now, and she seemed to have gotten a new weapon. It still had moonlight running across its edges, but unlike the Moonlight Sword, it was also covered in ice.
”That new weapon of yours looks pretty good,” I greeted her with a smile.
Lin Yixin smiled back before holding her sword across my chest and bringing up its stats screen. I was shocked. Where on earth did she get something this amazing?

Introduction: Several thousand years ago, an imperial general led a military expedition into the Dragon Domain. His army of elites had numbered tens of thousands. However, a devil cast a spell and trapped them, causing them to froze to death amid ice and snow. The imperial general swore revenge before he lost his life, and his soul merged with the sword, becoming its soul. Now, the Frozen Sword had once again appeared to cut down its enemies with its freezing edge.
Level Requirement: 115
……
Holy shit! It was a 3-star Outstanding Spirit-grade weapon, one that she could use because she had lowered its level requirement with a Convenience Gem. Splash damage was always amazing, but this Outstanding Property ”Shot” made it even better. Lin Yixin’s grinding speed was already pretty amazing, but this weapon boosted it to a whole new height. It looked like my top position on the Heavenly Ranking was in danger.
”Fuck, where did you find such an amazing weapon?” Deeply concerned for her wellbeing, I asked, ”Who’s the person who bought your loyalty, Yiyi? Or worse, did you finally give yourself up to a sugardaddy…”
Lin Yixin’s eyes gleamed murderously as she punched me. ”This is a boss loot! Who do you think I am? There’s no way in hell I’d ever become anyone’s sugarbaby or whatever. I swear I’ll beat you into a pulp if you let your imagination run wild again, you bastard! Seriously…”
I smiled. ”But that can’t be right, I remember that that Envoy of Darkness you killed is a Purple Gold Rank boss. I’m pretty sure they don’t drop Spirit-grade equipment…”
”Not necessarily. It’s all a matter of luck. Purple Gold Rank boss have one in ten thousand chance to drop Spirit-grade equipment, and I got lucky, that’s all...”
”Really?”
”Really.” Lin Yixin stared at me for a moment before punching my chest again. ”OMG, stop looking at me that way?! I’m not a sugarbaby, and I’m not dating a GM! To begin with, there isn’t even a GM in Heavenblessed! I’m seriously going to kill you if you keep this up, I swear!”
I finally couldn’t hold in my laughter any longer. An upset Fruit Knife Goddess was just too cute for words.
