“People always hold back because of their emotions or for fear of society’s thoughts.” Xie Feng continued to explain his thoughts, “However, I think you too must have heard more than once that you should live your life to the fullest so as not to carry regrets to the grave. Isn’t that right?”
Yang Li’er didn’t even think about it and nodded unconsciously. She was surprised that a person only two years older than her could say such words. If it were someone else, Yang Li’er might think that he was trying to flirt with her or wanted to get her attention through a different approach; however, she knew well that Xie Feng was not trying to flirt with her in the slightest and was just casually talking as he would probably do with anyone else.
Seeing her nod, Xie Feng chuckled and remarked, “Well, that’s what you should do. Do you know? In the past, I had nothing and my life was much more difficult than you can probably imagine. During that time I held back from many things and didn’t do many other things I would have liked to do….. Now that I think about it, I really regret it.”
Talking here, Xie Feng’s gaze became unfocused and lost in memories of the past as he continued mumbling unconsciously, “Because of shame and fear of what others will say, back then I didn’t express my affection for a girl. Now, although all is not lost, things are a little more difficult than they might be if I had acted more shamelessly back then…”
Just as Xie Feng was unconsciously expressing his thoughts of the past, the music stopped and the surrounding silence drew him into the real world again. Looking down, he saw Yang Li’er looking at him with strange eyes.
“Well, don’t look at me like I’m a freak, girl.” Xie Feng smiled bitterly and moved his hands away from her body. “The point I want to make here is that I will live my life the way I wish to live it. If I wish to be shameless, then I will be shameless, if I wish to have something, then I will do whatever it takes to have it. After all, the feeling of regret doesn’t feel good at all.”
After saying those words, Xie Feng walked away from Yang Li’er without waiting for an answer in return.
On the other hand, Yang Li’er stared at Xie Feng, who was heading to the table where Xie Yao and the rest of the girls were.
“Living my life the way I really want to live it… huh.” Yang Li’er murmured. A smile appeared on her face and she too walked away from the dance floor, walking towards some of her friends, but not before whispering, “That guy really is a weirdo.”
Achoo!
Xie Feng, who had just sat next to Gu Qianxue, suddenly sneezed.
“Are you okay?” Gu Qianxue asked worriedly. “Could it be that you’re catching a cold?”
Xie Feng smiled playfully and gently patted Gu Qianxue’s hair as he explained, “Even if I wanted to, I probably wouldn’t be able to get sick. Don’t worry, it’s probably some unknown girl in the crowd who was charmed by me.”
“””Pffft!”””
The three beauties couldn’t help but laugh in amusement.
“Your confidence really is something.” Yin Yue smiled as she gave Xie Feng charming eye rolls.
“Of course, my friends usually call me Mr. Confidence.” Xie Feng said casually without any embarrassment.
Yin Yue suddenly blinked and as if she had thought of something, she looked at the people sitting next to her and asked, “Talking about names. You three play Samsara Online right?”
“Of course we do.” Xie Yao was the one who answered. She looked at Xie Feng as if she wanted to make sure of something and seeing him nod, she smiled.
“Actually, the three of us are quite well known.” Xie Yao looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping and whispered in a mysterious tone.
“Hehehe…” Yin Yue laughed funny at Xie Yao’s act. She looked at the three of them with an amused look and said teasingly, “So, who are you guys? Don’t tell me, I already know. Surely, Xie Feng is the famous and legendary Shiva whose identity is being searched everywhere, Xie Yao, you must be Feng Yao? Gu Qianxue should be Rainbow Butterfly? After all, it is well known that these two beauties are always together with Shiva.”
Cough! Cough!
Xie Feng, who was drinking a glass of pure water, started coughing furiously while staring at Yin Yue.
Xie Yao was also stunned, staring at Yin Yue with wide eyes.
Gu Qianxue was the only one who after a moment of surprise began to laugh out loud. In fact, her laughter was so loud that it attracted the attention of quite a few people… Including her father, who was sitting not far away with several big shots.
Seeing his daughter laughing carefree and clearly enjoying herself in the presence of her three companions, Gu Pojun could not help but smile warmly. His wife, Fang Yanran, took one of his hands and whispered, “Pojun…. Although I don’t like the idea of our daughter having to share the man she loves with another woman, seeing how in love she is with this Xie Feng guy, she probably won’t listen to us no matter how much we refuse…. Also, look at the smile on her face. When was the last time we saw her act without inhibitions? Isn’t it okay to let her be? Even though I only knew him for a short time, I like that Xie Feng guy.”
Gu Pojun nodded but a frown appeared on his face as he thought of something. Just as he looked to the side, he saw the problem he feared most, approaching with a smile.
Back to Xie Feng’s table.
“What’s wrong?” Yin Yue felt strange at the unexplained behavior of the group of three, so she couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
“This…” Xie Feng sat up straight and asked carefully, “The thing earlier, were you serious about it, or were you just joking?”
Yin Yue frowned and grumbled, “For god’s sake, of course I was joking. How could you three be the three people I named? Wouldn’t that be too much of a coincidence?”
Xie Feng looked at both beauties and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Well, it really is quite a coincidence.” Xie Yao smiled helplessly.
“Em?” Yin Yue blinked in surprise. Suddenly an absurd thought popped into her mind, causing her eyes to widen, “W-Wait a minute…? You three, really…?”
“Haha…” Xie Yao forced a smile and nodded honestly, followed by Xie Feng and Gu Qianxue.
Seeing the three of them nod practically at the same time, Yin Yue gasped and disbelief shone in her eyes. To say she was dumbfounded was an understatement! Who would have thought that a casual comment from her would actually end up unearthing such shocking news like this!
Feng Yao was currently known as the most powerful priest in the entire virtual world; not just China, but the entire world! With a massive resurrection skill that players could not access even after level 100, Feng Yao was being sought after by powerful guilds in an attempt to reclut her and offer her the best possible benefits.
Rainbow Butterfly, one of the mages with the highest magical attack power as well as her unique ability to control her enemies and her terrifying ability to instantly kill them was no less known than Feng Yao. The difference was that while Feng Yao was known as a saint, Rainbow Butterfly was singled out like a demon capable of slaughtering anyone with a wave of her hands.
As for Shiva, there was no need to explain. A player with terrifying dual magic and physical attack, a strange ability to triple damage, extremely terrifying skills, and today, the world learned that he had the ability to assassinate a level thirty Immortal grade beast.
Three of the brightest stars in the virtual world were actually right in front of her! However, the most important thing was that Yin Yue knew better than anyone else who Kali was!
Suddenly, a smirk rose on Yin Yue’s lips as she looked at Xie Feng playfully. She couldn’t wait to see what kind of face he and Shen Xinya would make when they learned that in reality, they both carried names of gods from Hindu mythology who, to top it off, were actually husband and wife!
Yin Yue couldn’t help but think of something Shen Xinya always talked about; destiny.
Could it be that destiny really existed? If it was the past, Yin Yue would scoff without hesitation…. But now, seeing the situation in front of her, Yin Yue had no choice but to rethink her thoughts again. After all, if this wasn’t destiny, then what?
What the four of them didn’t know was that while they chatted, trouble approached with a smile.
