A fiery red figure came out from within…
“Watch my blade!”
The person with the quickest reflexes was not Li Yi but Sister Windcloud Nine who was a nervous wreck. At the opening of the Flaming Dragon Lair’s gate, three Blade Auras were flung over.
“Bp! Bp! Bp!”
The fiery figure pulled three punches to crush the Blade Auras.
A hooded and hot body clad in silver armor, the person who walked out of the Flaming Dragon Lair was not Bai Xiaoya, but the Fluttering Snow Alliance leader, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
Sister Windcloud Nine was stunned, “I’m… I’m sorry, I hit the wrong person. Come back!”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut coldly scoffed and threw a punch at Sister Windcloud Nine.
“Wham! Szh —”
Li Yi stood in front of Sister Windcloud Nine, using his body to block Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s iron fist.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s fist peculiarly stopped less than an inch away from Li Yi’s body.
A golden light barrier had spread out over a 30-yard range, shrouding them within.
Sister Windcloud Nine wanted to move but was aghast to find her body acting of its own accord. A puppet without strings, she lost control of her body.
“Clang clang!
Her Tuhr Sacred Sword suspended in the air whirling. It seemed to be held by something as it was restrained of movement as well.
Sharing the same dilemma was Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. She maintained her throwing punch position, stiff as a log.
Li Yi chuckled, “Alliance Leader Fluttering Snow, my Territory isn’t that bad, but I didn’t think you would freeze too?”
“Guild Master Dark Wing, it’s been a few days since I last saw you. Your Territory has become stronger.”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut stopped her attack and retreated a few steps back.
With Li Yi activating his Territory light barrier, Sister Windcloud Nine was incapable of motion. The Tuhr Sacred Sword could put up a slight struggle while Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut from free from control.
Territory Release could suppress an opponent for a short period of time. Depending on Territory rank, the length of time the opponent would be restrained differed. It was easy to grasp Territory Power and Territory Skill, but it was rare for players to understand Territory Release.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut asked, “Guild Master Dark Wing, is the bet between us still going?”
Li Yi smiled, “Of course. Why not?”
The outcome was yet to be determined during his last exchange with Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. Li Yi’s Territory Release was still incapable of restraining Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. The most it could do was affect her movement. This was because her Territory rank was far higher than his.
It was fortunate, however, that Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was not proficient with Territory Release. Both of them collapsed at the same time, as the result of their battle…
While they were on the ground, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut announced she would master Territory Release within three months but was challenged by Li Yi who said it would not happen. Hence, the bet established between the two.
Within three months, if Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut mastered Territory Release, Li Yi would lose the bet. He would transfer the control of ten major cities on the Invincible Continent over to her as a wager.
Within three months, should Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut fail in mastering Territory Release, Li Yi would win the bet. Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was not allowed to initiate a Throne-claiming War for six months as a wager.
With the bet in effect, both parties were restricted from sabotaging or engaging without approval or the bet was off.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut coldly blurted, “If you wish to continue the bet, please leave this place.”
Li Yi chuckled, “Alliance Leader Fluttering Snow, what’s the outcome of your solo battle with the Wicked Flaming Dragon?”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut raised her brow without saying a word.
Szh szh —
Focusing his mind, Li Yi retrieved Territory light barrier into his body. Crying out in pain, Sister Windcloud Nine staggered and lost her footing, prompting her to fall on Li Yi.
Sister Windcloud Nine immediately let go and answered with a face flushed red, “I’m- I’m- I’m sorry, I-I-I-I-…”
Li Yi flashed a smile at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, “The thing is, my friend’s equipment was picked up by Bai Xiaoya. Could you get Bai Xiaoya to return the equipment to my friend? Of course, she does not want to, we can compensate her with money.”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut acknowledged and sent a private message to Bai Xiaoya.
After a while, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut took a glance at Sister Windcloud Nine, “Xiaoya said she will return the equipment to you, but she has one condition.”
Sister Windcloud Nine was overjoyed, “What’s the condition? What’s the price?”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was silent for a moment before replying with an unwilling tone, “Xiaoya mentioned that if you go down on all fours and crawl two rounds, she’ll return the equipment to you.”
“Heh, I knew that Bai Xiaoya had a b*tchy mouth, but I didn’t think she was this way too. So, you think we can’t live without a few items huh?”
Before Sister Windcloud Nine even opened her mouth, Li Yi gave a tongue-lashing. Bai Xiaoya’s condition was too insulting.
“Two rounds, right? Alright, I’ll crawl.”
Sister Windcloud Nine was complacent, getting down on all fours to crawl.
Li Yi was at a loss of words, “Sister Nine, it’s only three items. Must you? If your husband were to find out, you…”
“It’s okay, hehe.”
Sister Windcloud Nine really did not understand the word humiliation…
“Crawl towards Guild Master Dark Wing. Yes, lift your ass higher.”
The person who spoke these words was not Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. It was Bai Xiaoya. She had been watching in the dark.
In her hand were Sister Windcloud Nine’s three items. Although her face was not visible, Li Yi could tell from her eyes that she was feeling smug.
Li Yi was pissed off, “Get up!”
“There’s one more round…”
“Get up!”
Li Yi stormed to pull Sister Windcloud Nine up, forcefully nudging her.
If Sister Windcloud Nine was his woman, he would give her a tight slap. It was just a game. What fun was it to throw away one’s dignity?
“Bai Xiaoya, it doesn’t matter whether you return the three items but mark my words, I will make you pay!”
Li Yi was boiling over.
“Guild Master Dark Wing, don’t be angry. It was just a harmless joke,” Bai Xiaoya giggled as she threw the items to Sister Windcloud Nine.
“A joke? If I were to tell you to kneel down and lick my toes, would you do it?
Li Yi’s emotions spiraled out of control. He would never say such a thing under normal circumstances.
Sister Windcloud Nine timidly looked at Li Yi, “Dark Wing, it’s fine. I don’t think it’s embarrassing. Don’t…”
Li Yi viciously glared at her, “Stop talking!”
Sister Windcloud Nine subconsciously muffled her mouth with both hands. The conditioned reflexes revealed how well she was taught by Brother Windcloud Nine.
Tch tch tch tch tch…
Li Yi lifted his Orange Quality bow and aimed at Bai Xiaoya.
Bai Xiaoya dodged and hid behind Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut dully responded, “Don’t forget our bet. If you harm me, you lose.”
Hiding behind Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, Bai Xiaoya snapped back with a taunting tone, “Guild Master Dark Wing, you’re the No. 1 master of the Invincible Continent. I heard that women crowd over you. There’s five who confessed to this. Why the strong reaction from a little joke I played on Sister Windcloud Nine? Could it be, that you have an affair with her as well?”
Sister Windcloud Nine waved her hands, “No… We’re just friends, there’s no affair. I swear to god, there’s nothing between us.”
Bai Xiaoya snuck her head out from behind Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, “No affair? Really? You’re sure? I feel horrible for your husband. One girl two guys, you really have everything going your way, tsk tsk…”
“Tst —”
A Powered-up Arrow was fired and swiveling towards Bai Xiaoya.
Li Yi had lost his cool. At this very moment, whatever bet, whatever victory or defeat was the last thing on his mind. He has only one thing in his mind and that was to tear Bai Xiaoya’s mouth apart.
With Powered-up Arrow at eight times the damage fired, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut dared not counter with her fist. With the surge of an aura barrier, she blocked the attack with Absolute Defense.
“Unleash!”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s aura barrier repelled the Powered-up Arrow.
“Haha…” Laughed Bai Xiaoya.
Tst —
A peculiar incident happened. The repelled Powered-up Arrow suddenly boomeranged towards Bai Xiaoya, shooting at lighting speed.
“Unleash!”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s second attempt with Absolute Defense was a tad too late.
“Tst — Bp!”
The Powered-up Arrow made a turn in the air and crashed into Bai Xiaoya’s mouth, causing the emergence of damage in red font.
[-165422]
Szh! Szh!
After killing Bai Xiaoya, the Powered-up Arrow made a detour in the air before returning to Li Yi. It was Carulla’s Arrow.
Bai Xiaoya lied on the ground. The weapon in her hand was dropped. However, Li Yi did not advance to pick it up. Instead, he gave her a cold look.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut sighed, “Guild Master Dark Wing, you attacked me, you lose…”
Li Yi snickered and summoned Lightning Leopard out.
“I lost, but I only lost this battle. You can take the ten major cities whenever you like but whether or not you’re able to keep those cities, is a different matter.”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s lashes fluttered. She was caught by surprise with Li Yi’s words.
Currently, the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s forces were mostly rooted in the Southern Continent with a small percentage in the Ninth Continent. There was no sign of Fluttering Snow Alliance players in the Invincible Continent due to Li Yi playing hardball.
Even if they were to take the ten major cities, were they capable of defending them?
Mobilize the entire alliance to fight to the death?
No way. The Invincible Continent was Li Yi’s territory. Even if the Fluttering Snow Alliance were to migrate as a whole, they would be marching to their deaths. Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was very well aware of this.
“I want to camp Bai Xiaoya’s corpse. Alliance Leader Fluttering Snow, you can try to stop me if you can.”
With the bet nullified, there were no strings holding Li Yi back. His conscience was clear.
Bai Xiaoya may be lying on the ground, but her mouth has yet to give in, “Guild Master Dark Wing, why the bitterness? Is it because I was right? Your relationship with Sister Windcloud Nine seems really complicated…”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut frowned and turned to walk into the Flaming Dragon Lair.
Ka ka tch tch..
The gate to the Flaming Dragon Lair was shut tight. Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut left Bai Xiaoya’s corpse behind, abandoning her.
Her actions were clear to Li Yi. She did not care what he did to Bai Xiaoya’s corpse.
Could Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut be sick of this idiot’s mouth?
The idea popped into Li Yi’s head.
Li Yi told Sister Windcloud Nine, “Remember, regardless whether it’s equipment, divine weapon or a gift from your husband, it’s just an item. You can care about it but don’t forget, you’re only playing a game. Don’t let the game play you!”
“O… Okay,” Sister Windcloud Nine answered in a tiny voice.
Li Yi heaved and sat beside Bai Xiaoya’s corpse. He took a look at his friends online and was surprised to find Brother Windcloud Nine online.
“Huh? Sister Nine, didn’t you say your husband’s away for business?”
