"Ding!"
The glasses clinked against each other, and the blood-red wine rippled in the air. Ling Yue's face was already flushed, but she still smiled sweetly. "Come, cheers!
For … for what we suffered in the Ice Dragon's Nest today! "
"Okay!"
Then, for the new students, for Teacher's Day, for the Seven-star Lamp to get the Flaming Bone Dragon, for the Snow Moon to defeat the Falling Moon Alliance, and for the granddaughter of the grandma living upstairs to get into a key high school, we drank one glass after another.
We often came to this restaurant. The owner was a middle-aged woman who had been laid off to start her own business. She was very kind, and her name was Wang Meifeng. Everyone called her Sister Feng.
Sister Feng was very happy today, and she said she would come to drink with us. In the end, Bing Cha tricked her into giving us a 30% discount.
It was past 12 pm by the time we finished our supper. When we walked down the stairs, we noticed that Purple Moon was the only person who wasn't drunk and could still drive. We threw them all into the back of the car, and it was impossible to tell them apart.
I was pressed against the back seat, and when I looked up, I saw Ling Xue lying on top of me. I closed my eyes and rested. But not long after, my body felt very heavy. When I opened my eyes, I saw Ling Yue sleeping on the seat, and her long hair fell like a waterfall on my stomach. No wonder the pillow felt so soft. It was because I was using Ling Yue's legs as my pillow.
Although the MPV was not small, it was still quite a sight to see three to five people squeezed together.
Zi Yue's driving skills were terrible, and after a few sharp turns, the people behind us were all knocked out. Bing Cha was sleeping on the ground, and her cheeks were red. She looked very cute, and I took advantage of my drunkenness to wipe her face. Bing Cha opened her eyes, and when she saw me, she smiled. "You've got guts, haven't you?"
I leaned against the seat with Ling Xue in my arms. We both sat on the ground. Bing Cha looked up and crawled over the blanket in the car. He clung to my shoulder and muttered, "Why am I dreaming of this bastard again …"
I hugged Ling Xue with one arm and hummed a song, "Fire of Red Cliffs, Continuous War, Only 70,000 of our brothers died, Diary on the Yangtze River …"
As Bing Cha listened, her beautiful eyes became misty. She giggled and said, "Out of tune, out of tune …"
I ignored her and continued to sing.
Bing Cha blinked his eyes and murmured softly, "It's a dream anyway. Then … I'll take advantage of it …"
Then, Bing Cha put his right arm around my neck and his left arm around Ling Xue's shoulders. Then, he leaned forward and pecked me on the cheek.
I was stunned, and my head started to clear up.
However, Bing Cha still thought that it was a dream. She smiled sweetly and murmured, "Why can't I wake up from this dream? Hehe …"
Then, she leaned forward again and pressed her red lips against mine. She slowly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes shivering as she hugged me tightly.
My neck felt like it was filled with lead, and I couldn't move at all. Maybe she didn't want to move at all. Who cares!
Bing Cha was very focused. She stuck out her tongue and pushed my teeth open. Although her movements were shaky, she was very proactive. She was drunk to the point where she was a complete mess.
This lasted for seven or eight seconds. I felt like I was being forcefully kissed. When Ice Tea's face left me, she had a silly smile on her face. She reached out to touch my cheek as if she hadn't had enough. She muttered with a smile, "So … so real …"
I sucked in a deep breath. It felt like a century had passed.
Bing Cha glanced at Ling Xue in my arms, but didn't say anything. She proactively pressed her face against my neck, just like Ling Xue. Technically speaking, I was only hugging Ling Xue, and Bing Cha was holding my hand and placing it on her waist. Then, with a satisfied smile on her face, she fell into a deep sleep.
It was at this moment Zi Yue suddenly stopped the car and looked back at me. She smiled and said, "Big brother Scholar, why don't we stop the car here and let you enjoy it a little longer?"
I glared at her and said weakly, "Go back. Now!"
"Okay!"
The MPV sped back to the workshop. I rushed into the living room and washed my face with cold water to wake myself up a little. Then, I returned to the workshop and carried the girls out of the car one by one to their rooms. I took off their shoes and placed them on their beds. It was a full service. I was going to help them take a bath, but it was too abrupt.
I returned to my room and fell into a deep sleep.
… …
I didn't know how much time had passed, but the neighbor's hen finally started crowing. Damn it!
This is a living example of a woman usurping power!
I opened my eyes and checked the time. It was 7: 30 am, so I got out of bed and washed up. The workshop was quiet, and Ling Xue, Ling Yue and the others hadn't woken up yet. No one knew how much they drank last night, and Zi Yue was the one who paid the bill.
I opened the door to Ling Xue's room, and a gentle breeze blew in, causing the white curtains to flutter. The twins were hugging each other on the bed, and the blankets were hanging in the corner. Neither of them had taken off their clothes, and their skirts were hanging messily on their young bodies. Their snow-white skin was enough to make one's mouth go dry.
I walked up to Ling Xue and pushed her shoulder. "Xiao Xue, it's time to wake up. What do you want for breakfast?"
"I'll … sleep a little longer!"
Ling Xue muttered, burying her face between her sister's breasts and continuing to sleep.
My eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. I was so happy to have an older sister who I could fall asleep to the scent of milk. What more could I ask for with a sister like this?
I had no choice but to let them sleep a little longer!
I went to Bing Cha's room and pushed the door open. The room was very quiet, and Bing Cha was sound asleep. The only difference was that her pillow had run to the bathroom door. Did she wake up in the middle of the night to hit a mouse?
I walked up to her and said, "Xu Bing, it's time for breakfast!"
Bing Cha opened her eyes and looked at me lazily. She said with a smile, "Oh, it's rare for you to wake up earlier than everyone else today!"
I nodded and smiled. "Yeah!"
As I said that, I saw that Bing Cha's cheeks were red and cute, so I asked with a smile, "Look at your rosy cheeks. Did you have a wet dream last night?"
Bing Cha was stunned, and her face turned even redder. She sat up and hugged her blanket. "None of your business!"
I was in a good mood. It was rare for me to beat Bing Cha, so I sat at the end of the bed and crossed my arms in front of my chest. I said with a smile, "Bing Cha, I had a dream last night too. I dreamt of you …"
Bing Cha said excitedly, "Really?
What did you dream about? "
I scratched my head awkwardly. "I dreamt … that you took the initiative to kiss me. The kind where you stuck your tongue out …"
"No way!"
Bing Cha was so shocked that she dropped the blanket in her hands. "How is that possible? How can our dreams be the same …"
As I said that, the smart Bing Cha came to a realization. Her face was as red as an apple. She asked carefully, "Scholar, it can't be … that what happened in the dream was real?"
I stood up and smiled. "I don't know. I've already forgotten. Dreams are never clear."
Bing Cha smiled. "Mn, this … this is good."
… …
I tossed and turned until noon. I only went online after eating lunch.
After I went online, there were people coming and going in the King's City. I also received a lot of notifications from the system. The equipment that I had consigned to the auction house had been sold and I had earned a lot. All in all, I had earned quite a bit. All in all, it was quite easy to earn money recently. Now that the equipment was here, it was much easier to get more. Moreover, the King's City and Sky Water County were two stable sources of income. All the finances were in my hands. Apart from the part that was given to the members, the rest was my own income.
I looked at the recent deposits in my account and found that my income was even higher than Sweet Spring Dreams. As expected, it was too easy for those at the top of the pyramid to get rich.
My life was good, but it was different with someone. The guild channel was noisy —
Spring And Autumn Dance: "Where's Flying Fire? Where's the Shadow Follower? Why aren't they online yet?"
Melancholy: "Why should they? They've been fighting in the Outer Lands until noon before going offline."
"What are they fighting so happily for the whole night?"
"Ahem, they're from Soul Battle Robes. Last night, Dark Shadow Drifter went crazy and gathered almost two million players from the main guild and sub-guilds of Snow Moon. He split them into three groups and chased after Soul Battle Robes until this morning. Soul Battle Robes has already been driven out of the Ice Fire Plains …"
I couldn't help but be stunned. "If it was chased out of the Plains of Ice and Fire, where could the Seven-Star Lamp go?"
I opened up the world map. Outside of Frostfire Plains was the vast wildlands between Clear Breeze City and Beast Soul City. If the outland was a dangerous place, then the wildlands were an undeveloped land. Ferocious beasts roamed the land, and there were no NPCs at all. Entering the wildlands would mean losing their supplies. Wasn't Soul Battle Robes committing suicide by entering the wildlands?
Players used up a lot of potions. My bag, which had 400 slots, could only last about 24 hours of continuous combat. Normal players only had 100 slots, so they would run out of potions after fighting for about 6 hours. Archers needed to carry large amounts of iron and steel arrows, which consumed potions even faster. They usually needed party members to help carry potions, or else the arrows would take up a lot of space.
"Did Seven-star Lamp lead Soul Battle Robes into the wilderness?" I asked.
Melancholy smiled. "That's right. Seven-star Lamp has balls. After he got the Flaming Bone Dragon, he became even more arrogant and provoked Nangong Yuexi, who was grinding in the Outer Lands, in the middle of the night. In the end, Suifeng went berserk and chased after Soul Battle Robes. That's the end of Soul Battle Robes' tragedy …"
I nodded. The map of the Wildlands was completely black, and we didn't even know what was inside. Spirit of Grief was just too big, and there were too many territories that we didn't know about yet. No one knew if Soul Battle Robes' entry into the Wildlands was a blessing or a disaster.
Spring And Autumn Dance said, "Regardless, Soul Battle Robes was kicked out of White Cloud City. Who cares what they did in the wilderness? They brought this upon themselves."
Nangong Yuexi asked, "Soul Battle Robes is a China guild. Won't they be attacked by Beast Soul City if they enter the wilderness?
Beast Soul City has already been conquered by the India server, and Barbaric Throne has a deep grudge against us. "
I shook my head and said decisively, "Impossible. The wilderness is too far away from Beast Soul City. First of all, Barbaric Throne may not be willing to spend the effort to travel such a long distance. Second of all, the map of the wilderness isn't fully displayed to the players. Barbaric Throne may not have the guts to fight Soul Battle Robes."
Spring And Autumn Dance said, "Scholar, the China server and its surrounding areas have been very quiet recently. There shouldn't be any Nation Wars, and Snow Moon has swept all the S3 and below dungeons. Why don't we organize a party and go to the wilderness?
It's an undeveloped map, after all. It's good to go there and see what's going on. "
"Okay, but not too many people. Qiu Yang, pick ten elite 10,000-man parties. A hundred thousand people should be enough to enter the wilderness. Even if we return empty-handed, we won't waste too much manpower and resources."
"Okay, I'll contact them right away. When do we move?"
"Tomorrow. Tell everyone to prepare. I'll leave the leveling activity in the wilderness to you."
Spring And Autumn Dance was very excited. "Good, I can finally be an organization member!"
… …
In the afternoon, I had nothing to do. My level had already reached Level 265, and I should be very close to my limit. I wouldn't be able to level up any further. Grinding S5 only gave me less than 3% experience. God knows how long it would take me to reach Level 266.
Bored, I decided to set up a stall and took out some good items from the warehouse. Then, I took Ling Xue and Ling Yue to a corner of the eastern gate of White Cloud City and marked the prices of the equipment. We were too free, and the three of us were already over Level 260. We didn't have much to grind. At most, we could go fight bosses and strengthen our equipment. However, bosses were very popular, and there were countless guilds waiting to respawn in Floating Ice Tower and Tomb of Ancient Qin. They would be defeated in less than 10 minutes after a boss respawned.
Ling Yue sat cross-legged on the ground, her Spirit Grief Robe glowing. She glanced at me and asked with a smile, "Scholar, I'm leaving the country next week. You haven't prepared a parting gift for me yet, have you?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I nodded. "Yes."
I thought for a moment and threw the equipment in the stall to Ling Yue. "Help me sell them. I'm going offline to drive around and see if there's anything suitable to give away."
"Mn, alright. Come back soon."
… …
I logged off, grabbed my car keys, went downstairs, and drove my Passat out of the park and toward the city.
Gift shops were fine, but buying a piece of glass for Ling Yue would definitely make her look down on me. As the guild leader of a major guild with a monthly income of over a million, I couldn't be too stingy.
I turned and went to the Suzhou Jewelry Shop.
I was naturally a layman when it came to jewelry.
Thankfully, many of the items were clearly priced. Even if I was ripped off, it wouldn't be too bad.
After walking around for a long time, I bought a translucent jade Buddha statue. There was a saying that men should give Guanyin, and women should give Buddha. I looked at the price, thirty-five thousand. I didn't care if it was real or not.
I gave this jade to Ling Yue. Ever since I entered Xue Yue Studio, Ling Yue was a dignified branch president on the outside. Inside, she was just a girl who lacked love. She was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Maybe a warm jade was the right word for her.
A while later, I bought an ancient bronze coin for Qin Yun. It looked like a small bronze shovel. It was said to be from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and was very valuable. As for why it appeared here, I didn't know. Maybe it was loot from a tomb raider.
Forget it. I put it in an exquisite box, and it cost twenty-five thousand. It was about the same as Ling Yue's gift.
Done. Time to go!
