It was night. The moonlight spilled through the curtains and onto the plaid sheets like water.
“What’s wrong? You can’t sleep?”
He Yi asked quietly beside me.
I exhaled once before answering, “Mn. I was thinking what a shame it was that Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan’er—especially Little Piglet—had to go out the way they did…”
He Yi chuckled. “It’s Little Piglet’s choice. In the past, Little Piglet was a greedy man who’d do anything for money. However, what happened to Shangguan Wan’er opened his eyes probably for the first time in his life and made him realize what really mattered to him, and what didn’t. He walked away from it, so it’s not too late for him.”
I replied, “On a related note, it looks like Warsky and Candlelight Shadow are determined to join hands and fight us with all they have. They were hoping to recreate the Three Kingdoms state of things, but our strength is greater than what they anticipated[1], so they had no choice but to work together even though they hate each other’s guts.”
He Yi stretched lazily beneath the blanket before replying smilingly, “That, you don’t have to worry about. Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi will handle most of the guild matters for you.”
I nodded. “Yes. I was planning to spend the next few days keeping you and Yiyi company anyway.”
“Speaking of which, how long has it been since you kept me company, huh?” He Yi said teasingly.
Me: “…”
I pulled He Yi into my arms and immediately felt my heart skipping a beat. She was wearing beige-colored pyjamas that gave her the look of an intellectual beauty, but it was only after I held her that I realized that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.
……
I looked down and saw He Yi watching me with clear desire in her eyes. I didn’t have to ask to know what she was hoping from me.
Unable to control myself, I kissed her on the lips and felt as if I could melt right on top of her person. She responded to my advances clumsily and hugged me tight enough that our bodies looked like they would become one. I trailed a hand across her smooth, milky skin, finding not one bit of excess fat along her smooth left waist at all. She moaned against my lips and turned as red as an apple.
Gently, I pulled away from He Yi and climbed on top of her. We watched each other for a moment before I bent down and trailed kisses along her lips. She smiled like an angel as she hugged me tighter and wrapped her long, slender legs around my back. To say that the pair of 34Ds pressing against my chest felt wholesome would be an understatement.
“Do you want to…” He Yi started, but was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.
Still kissing her lips, I let out a chuckle and asked, “You were boasting up a storm when you were joking around with sis earlier. Where did that bravery go, Sister Yi?”
He Yi retorted, “That has nothing to do with this!”
“Anyway, what were you asking again, hmm? Do you want to… what?” I prodded while grabbing her breast.
Her eyes grew even wetter, and another moan escaped her lips. “Uh—you naughty boy…”
I felt like someone had set me on fire. I knew that this wouldn’t be an easy night to pass, but I had no idea how crazy it would become until it did. He Yi was just as lost in lust as I was, her arms wrapped around me like unbreakable vines and her body having escaped the confines of her pyjamas before I knew it. Naturally, her breasts felt even more suffocating than before in the best way.
“I can’t hold it any longer…”
I whispered, “Did you bring a condom, Eve?”
He Yi shook her head and shot me a puppy face. “This is my first time. Do we really need it?”
I said with difficulty, “I don’t know. It’s not safe…”
“It’s fine. Come on…” He Yi closed her eyes after saying that.
I felt like my brain was melting inside my head. After I stripped away He Yi’s final defense, I lowered my waist and felt the most wondrous sensation. I slowly pushed as He Yi held me tighter.
……
Then, a voice resounded inside my head, “Are you crazy, Lu Chen? Is every one of your cells healthy? Can you guarantee her safety?”
I slowed to a stop. Noticing that something was amiss, she asked, “What’s wrong? I nearly broke my lip preparing myself for the pain, and you choose that exact moment to stop? Come on…”
“Fuck…”
I nearly burst out laughing at that. “Eve, I just remembered that my body isn’t exactly… safe right now. I think we should use a condom if we want to continue.”
“Where are we going to buy one though? It’s so late. You’re not suggesting that we ask Xu Ning, are you?”
“Er…” I looked outside the window. “Look! There’s a 24-hour supermarket on the opposite side of the street. I’ll head there and buy it…”
He Yi nodded. “Mn!”
Before I could do anything though, a face suddenly appeared beside us and nearly scrapped the crap out of us, “Big brother, Sister Eve, what are you two doing?”
“We… we… er…” It was none other than Xinran, of course. We had completely forgotten about her during our moment of passion, and we were so shocked we couldn’t say a single word even when she was examining our position curiously.
……
“Get down already, you little idiot…” He Yi gave me a push before laughing at the absurdity of the situation.
I hurriedly did as she said before letting out an embarrassed cough. “It’s nothing, Xinran. By the way, why are you still up?”
“Well, I was thinking about Sophie’s troubles. Her Corpse Eaters are running out of food as of late. They’re even running out of wild animal carcasses in the forest…”
I replied, “Er, I don’t normally interfere with Sophie’s business. Tell her to help herself…”
“Mn.”
……
He Yi was still holding my hand inside the blanket when I turned back to her and whispered, “Looks like we’ll have to postpone this until the next time…”
“Mn. It’s fine. I’m not really in a hurry…”
“I am though.”
“Really? Weren’t you sleeping with Yiyi last night? Didn’t you two…?”
“We, er, we also decided to postpone it until the next time…”
“Pooh! You are the most shameless man I’ve ever met!”
Me: “…”
……
Another wild and restless night passed just like that. My eyes were bloodshot due to poor sleep when I woke up the next day. Most people would wake up from the embrace of two gorgeous women looking like the sun, but me? I felt like the walking dead being forced to deal with the temptation and having nowhere to vent it!
We met up with Lin Yixin after we left the room. She was clad in a black windbreaker. After she greeted us good morning, she showed us her phone display and complained, “It’s terrible…”
He Yi and I asked in confusion, “What’s terrible?”
Lin Yixin said with a frown, “Candlelight Shadow ascended to become a Chaos Divine Throne Guardian last night—it’s the same one as Breeze and Rain—and learned Unusual Physique, Flight and Mount Armor Transformation…”
“That is terrible…” I curled my lips. “What about our situation? How many more Divine Crystals do we need before He Yi can make another attempt?”
He Yi replied, “I’m just a couple Divine Crystals short before I can make an attempt. If I fail again, it’ll probably take another week before we can gather enough Divine Crystals to make another attempt…”
Lin Yixin added, “Purple Marquis suicided to Level 254 yesterday before grinding all night to get back to Level 255 [2]. Unfortunately, he didn’t trigger an ascension…”
I let out a long sigh. “Patience. Hasty men don’t get to eat hot tofu. We have time.”
It was then Lin Yixin poked her head into Xinran’s room and looked left and right. Her eyes were obviously gleaming with mischief.
Knowing exactly what she was thinking about, I placed an arm across her shoulders and said, “Nothing happened last night, so you can stop wasting your energy now.”
“That’s relieving to hear…” Lin Yixin patted her chest instinctively before turning red in realization. “Ah shit, I shouldn’t have spoken my thoughts out loud…”
He Yi replied expressionlessly, “It’s okay. It shows that Yiyi is an honest and generous girl…”
Lin Yixin: “…”
……
After I ate breakfast, I promised Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi to slay the bosses of the S6 instance with them. Right as I was about to go online though, my phone suddenly rang with an unfamiliar number—
“Hello. Who is this?” I asked.
The person on the other side had a low, masculine voice. “Is this Lu Chen?”
“Yes, I am. And you are?” I asked in a confused tone. Lin Yixin and He Yi looked surprised as well.
The guy continued in a cool tone, “I heard you’re in Beijing right now. Is that true?”
“Yes. Seriously, who are you?”
“I’m Little Piglet.”
“What!?” I nearly jumped on my feet. Once the shock had passed, I started chiding him, “Little Piglet you actual pig! Why did you give into the pressure and delete your account? The Heaven Suppressing Necklace, the equipment, all gone in one button tap! Such a shame!”
He chuckled. “Haha. I know, but I’ve gotten over it. Money is not the most important thing in the world, and you can’t earn all the money there is in the world anyway. That is why I’ve decided not to sacrifice my life for it any longer.”
“Good decision. Why are you calling me, by the way?”
“Nah, it’s just that both Shangguan Wan’er and I are in Beijing right now. Do you want to meet up and chat a little?”
“Sure! Where do we meet?”
“Let’s meet up at the Workers’ Stadium (Beijing Workers’ Sports Complex) in front of the MIX Club [3] at 10 am. Is that fine?”
“Sure. I’m with Lin Yixin and He Yi right now. Is it okay if I bring them with me?”
He chuckled again. “Mn. It’ll be fun. I’ll be there with Wan’er as well.”
“Got it. See you later!”
“Mn!”
……
“What’s going on? What’s the situation?” Lin Yixin asked with widened eyes after I hung up.
I put down my phone and said to Eve, “Eve, can you message Chengfeng and Little Gui for me and tell them that our S6 plans for the morning are canceled? The three of us are going to the Workers’ Stadium to meet up with a very important friend.”
“Who is it?” She asked.
“It’s Little Piglet!”
They looked shocked. Lin Yixin asked after she collected her jaw from the floor. “I thought he deleted his account?”
I shot her a strange look. “He did… but he didn’t delete his real life…”
“Well, okay. I’ve never been to the Workers’ Stadium even though I’ve heard of it many times over the years. This will be a good opportunity to sightsee…”
“Okay. We agreed to meet up in front of the MIX club at 10 am, and there’s not much time left. Let’s go immediately, shall we?”
“Okay!”
……
Ten minutes later, the three of us stood by the street and attempted to hail a taxi.
When a taxi slowed to a stop next to us, I walked up to the driver and asked, “Driver, can you take us to the Workers’ Stadium?”
“Workers’ Stadium? That’s too far! No deal!”
The taxi drove off just like that.
After the second taxi came to a stop, I tried again, “Driver, can you take us to the Workers’ Stadium?”
“Workers’ Stadium? That’s a bit out of the way, and I need to fetch someone else later. You should wait and find a different taxi!”
The second taxi left us as well.
After the third taxi came to a stop, I repeated, “Driver, can you take us to the Workers’ Stadium?”
“Workers’ Stadium? Sorry, I’m handing over to the next shift!”
The third taxi drove off without any remorse.
The fourth taxi came to a stop, and I repeated once more, “Driver, can you take us to the Workers’ Stadium?”
“Workers’ Stadium? Sorry, but you should find another driver. I’m not feeling too good today, and I’m looking for stops that won’t require me to brake too often. I wouldn’t want to cause you trouble.”
The fourth taxi drove away like the wind.
Unable to control myself any longer, I shouted furiously, “These fuckers have zero professionalism whatsoever!”
Beside me, Lin Yixin shook her head and said, “Nah, you’re just bad at this…”
She took a step forward and, while her miniskirt was fluttering lightly to the wind, pulled up the hem of her skirt a little to reveal her smooth, white thigh. A taxi that was driving at a breakneck speed a moment skidded to a dead stop right in front of her. The driver asked, “WHERE ARE YOU GOING, PRETTY????”
“Workers’ Stadium.”
“LET’S GO!!!!”
1. E/N: Food for thought. 3 is the magic number. No two of the three can go to war because they will both lose after the third sweeps the remnants.My homework for you, our awesome readers, is try to think about it in the real world. China, NATO, Russia. Think why we live in peaceful times, and how bad it would be for NATO to split into two. I’m just saying, 4 kingdoms can easily become semifinals. I’ve seen some people surprised USA gets involved with Europe. Well, we need the third kingdom to be just one kingdom, and can’t let any of the other two get too strong. ☜
2. T/N: how many bosses did he kill in a row? Because there’s no way he can grind normally back to 255 in one night ☜
3. T/N: once again, most if not all of the IRL locations in this story are real ☜
