"The light of Holy Helm City will never dim. Wait for the judgment of your warhorses and swords, you lowly adventurers who only care about money and titles!"
The boss of Qingfeng City was a duke from Saint Helm City. Before he died, he only had time to say a few words before his head was chopped off by Ling Xue. His head rolled far away, and the crown on his head rolled down the stairs with a tinkling sound.
Bang!
The beautiful princess of the White Cloud City, the commander-in-chief of the Silver Moon Alliance, Princess Fei Ya, stepped on the crown, which was inlaid with gems.
After nearly ten hours of battle, the White Cloud City's reinforcements arrived. A total of five main legions were dispatched, and among them were nearly twenty Dragon Knights. They "sent" all the American players back to their homeland.
I walked up to the golden throne and said, "Ling Xue, why don't you sit down and take a look?"
"Oh?"
Ling Xue carefully walked up to me with the Blade of Snow Domain in hand. She looked a bit hesitant, but I forced her down onto the throne. The little beauty's eyes turned misty in an instant.
"How is it? Any hints?"
"No!"
"Ugh, did something go wrong?"
Ling Xue shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe it's because the Nation War isn't over yet?"
It was at this moment Fei Ya walked into the hall and said, "Thank you for reclaiming Clear Breeze City. I represent the Silvermoon Alliance to pay you the highest respect."
I smiled. "Fei Ya, do you know how to enter the Holy Realm?"
"Holy Realm?"
Fei Ya opened her palm and condensed a cyclone. Her hair instantly turned into a bright silver color. "Is that so?"
"Yes, yes!" I was overjoyed. NPCs could level up too. So Fei Ya had entered the Holy Realm as well.
But Fei Ya shook her head. "It requires luck. When a person is strong enough, their soul can enter the Holy Realm."
"Gosh …"
Ling Xue was slightly disappointed. "Beautiful princess, this is equivalent to not saying anything."
I nodded. "Still, continue to grind levels and equipment. There's always a chance to trigger the quest to enter the Holy Domain."
"En!"
…
In Clear Breeze City, a large number of China players and White Cloud City's NPC army were attacking everywhere. The remaining American players were completely unable to resist, and their numbers were rapidly decreasing!
Not long after, the sound of a system bell reverberated in the air.
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Attention all players, the Clear Breeze City has been successfully reclaimed by China server players. In 30 minutes, all maps under the jurisdiction of the Clear Breeze City will be shut down for maintenance. Moreover, the Clear Breeze City's Defense will increase by 2,000 points, and all NPCs' Attack Power will increase by 10%!
Player Windy Snow has successfully killed the Duke of Clear Breeze City. Rewarding Level + 5, Luck + 5!
Then, another bell rang —
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Player "Frivolous Scholar" is the MVP of this Nation War. Rewards: Level + 5, Honor Points + 100000, Luck Points + 3, and the item "Glacier Barrier"!
… …
Five flashes of golden light later, I rose to Level 105. Ling Xue, on the other hand, was a bit more pitiful. Although the system rewarded her with a level, she was already at 255. Therefore, I didn't see her level increase at all.
Oh right, it looked like I was rewarded with an Ice Rampart. It looked like a shield. I hurriedly flipped through my bag and saw a dazzling giant shield of ice armor lying quietly in the corner. I took it out and looked at it. Its stats shocked me even more!

… …
Bing Cha and Ling Xue were both curious. They asked in unison, "Scholar, what is this Glacier Barrier?"
I shared the shield's stats with them.
Bing Cha was immediately shocked. "OMG, isn't this a little too overpowered?
My Calamity of the Demon Domain is a divine weapon, but it's a trash shield compared to this! "
Ling Xue said, "If Calamity of the Demon Domain is trash, then what about my shield …"
I laughed. "This Ice Shield has a level requirement of Holy Domain Level 150, so 255 + 150 = 405,405 equipment. Do you really think it's weak?"
Ling Xue smiled. "Even so, your luck is too good."
"Hehe, my 21 Luck isn't for show!"
… …
When the dust settled, we easily reclaimed Cool Breeze City. Cool Breeze City was originally part of the China server, so all we had to do was invade the city, kill more than 90% of the enemies, and kill the king. As for the people's hearts, they belonged to the China server anyway. There was no need to fight for them.
It was past 7 am already. Ling Yue let out a yawn and said with a smile, "Come on, it's time to go offline and sleep."
And so, everyone returned to White Cloud City. That was our true headquarters.
After I logged off, I washed up and was washing my face. Suddenly, my phone rang on the bed. Not many people knew my number. Almost all of them were in the studio. Could it be Iced Tea calling?
I hurriedly looked and found that it wasn't Bing Cha, but a relative I hadn't contacted in a long time — my auntie!
Auntie paid for my education, and since she didn't have any children, she basically treated me, her nephew, as her own son. It was too careless of me not to contact her for so long.
"Scholar, is that you?"
Auntie's tone was a bit reproachful. "You only sent me a text during the New Year. You've grown wings, haven't you?"
I hurriedly smiled apologetically. "No, I was too busy. I'm sorry, auntie."
"What are you sorry for!"
Auntie smiled. "Are you free recently?
Today is Saturday, so come to my company for dinner. I haven't seen you in a long time, and I don't know how you're doing. "
"In the afternoon?" I hesitated. I felt sleepy. So sleepy!
"What, you want to find an excuse again?"
Auntie smiled. "This time, I've given you an order. You must come to my company in the afternoon, or else I'll really get angry!"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll be there in the afternoon. Let's have dinner together, auntie?"
"Okay!"
Auntie chuckled, then lowered her voice and added, "Also, that beautiful girl who was with you last time, you haven't been dumped by her yet, have you?"
"No … not yet …"
"Then bring her along!"
"Ah?!"
"What? You don't want auntie to see your future niece-in-law?"
"Yes, of course I do …"
"Then bring her along in the afternoon. What time can she come?"
I thought about it. Ling Xue would probably sleep for around 7 hours, so I said, "3 pm!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you in front of the shop at 3 pm!"
"Okay!"
Auntie opened a fitness club, and the place wasn't small. There was even a miniature tennis court inside. In a city like this where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, it could be considered a big business.
I hung up the phone and knocked on the door of Ling Xue's room next door. To my surprise, Ling Yue was there as well.
"What, do you need something?" The two girls hid under the covers and stared at me with wide eyes.
"It's nothing …" I smiled. "It's just that … I'm going to Auntie's house at 3 pm. I haven't had a gathering with her in a long time. Do you want to come with me?"
Ling Xue smiled. "The auntie from your blind date?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Of course I'm going!"
Ling Yue was surprised. "What?
Scholar's blind date?
When did that happen? "
"Ahem, Xiao Xue, don't say it."
"Give me 10 RMB, and I won't say it."
"..."
I walked up to them, stretched out my hands, and gently pressed Ling Xue and Ling Yue's shoulders. "Go to sleep. We only have 6 hours, and we need to leave at 2 pm sharp. Auntie's house is pretty far from here, and if there's a traffic jam, it'll take at least an hour."
Ling Yue smiled. "It's fine. Let Ling Xue drive. We'll get there in half an hour."
"Don't, I still want to live!"
A delicate fragrance wafted into my nose. The two beauties were lying on the bed, and they were staring at me with wide eyes like curious babies. I felt a little embarrassed. "Ahem, you guys go to sleep. I'll wake you up when it's time."
"Oh!"
Ling Xue nodded, and then asked, "Scholar, are you bringing Sister Qin Yun?"
I was surprised. "What do you think?"
Ling Xue bit her lip and said, "In the studio, other than me and my sister, you and Sister Qin Yun are the closest. Take her with you, or else she'll definitely feel bad."
"Mn, alright."
"Hehe, you go to sleep too. If auntie sees your red eyes, she'll think I'm abusing you."
"OMG!"
I returned to my room and fell asleep almost immediately.
… …
I slept until my phone alarm rang. It was 2 pm sharp.
I got out of bed, opened the door to the next room, and found that Ling Xue and Ling Yue were already picking out clothes. They looked very enthusiastic about this gathering.
Therefore, I turned around and knocked on Qin Yun's room door.
"Creak ~"
The door opened, and Qin Yun looked especially alluring in her pajamas. She rubbed her eyes and looked at me shyly. "What is it?"
"Um … I'm going to visit auntie's house with Ling Xue this afternoon. Do you want to come?"
"Oh?
Can I go too? "Qin Yun's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Mn, hurry up and change!"
"Wait for me, 20 minutes!"
"OMG, that long?"
"I have to find a better set of clothes, it's embarrassing …"
Violent Cold, I left.
I didn't care. Five minutes to wash up, two minutes to change, and seven minutes to leave with my car keys.
It took a long time for the three girls to finish preparing.
Ling Xue and Ling Yue were both wearing orange-red coats, looking pure and adorable. Meanwhile, Qin Yun was wearing a black windbreaker, looking extremely charming. Her mature body exuded an alluring aura.
"Let's go. Xiangxiang and the others will call us if they can't find us," Ling Xue said.
"Mn!"
When we went downstairs, we only drove one car. It was my black Passat. I drove, and Ling Xue sat in the passenger seat. She had a driver's license. That way, if we were stopped on the road, she could use [Shadow Shift] to climb onto my lap and drive. It was both safe and reliable.
On the way, Ling Yue looked a bit nervous and kept asking, "Scholar, should we buy some gifts?
It's our first time meeting auntie, we can't go empty-handed, can we? "
"It's fine, we're all family. There's no need to be so polite."
"Even if we're family, it's not strange to be polite!"
I thought about it and stopped the car at Meiluo Shopping Center. The girls went in and spent more than ten minutes buying three women's coats. They looked very fashionable, and they spent more than 70,000 RMB. If I'm not mistaken, auntie may not like this style. It was too trendy …
When it was time to pay the bill, the three girls each took one item and paid separately. This made me very confused. Normally, the three of them were very united, but every time we went out to eat, they would wait for each other to pay. But this time, they were fighting to pay the bill.
When the car stopped outside the auntie's fitness center, I looked back and was stunned. The three girls looked like they were facing a great enemy. It was like they had forgotten to bring their homework and the teacher was checking on them.
"What, are you all nervous?" I asked.
Ling Xue and Ling Yue nodded honestly.
Qin Yun smiled. "A little, let's go!"
Qin Yun was the first to open the door. She tightened her windbreaker, and a light breeze blew past, causing her hair to flutter. That instant of beauty was intoxicating.
The auntie was standing in front of the fitness center. She was slightly surprised and didn't know whether she should go up and greet the plMM.
At this time, I also got out of the car, and the auntie finally laughed. "Brat, when did you buy a car again? Didn't you burn a Honda in a rage last time?"
I smiled. "This one isn't a Honda."
Ling Xue and Ling Yue got out of the car together. The two girls smiled at the auntie in unison. "Hello, auntie!"
The auntie was immediately stunned. "This … this …"
She quickly dragged me to the side and asked in a low voice, "Why are there two of them? You never told me that your girlfriend knows how to split herself into two, did you?"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Auntie, the younger one is the one you saw last time. The other one is her older sister!"
"Twin sisters?" The auntie was shocked.
"Mn."
The auntie grinned. "Good boy, you're good. You got two at once?
Alright, one is enough, two is a profit. What about the other one?
That one looks good too. Does it have anything to do with him? "
"N-no …"
I hurriedly tried to argue, but the auntie's eyes were super gossipy. Clearly, she had thrown all her excuses to the back of her mind.
"Enough with the nonsense. Why don't you let the three of them in?
Let's go to the side hall. I just made a couple of cups of tea! "the auntie urged.
"Oh!"
I had no choice but to lead the three girls in. There was a bowling room opposite the side hall, and we could see through the open glass window. Maybe it was because business wasn't good, but there weren't many customers in the afternoon.
… …
The auntie started gossiping as soon as we sat down. She asked with a smile, "The girls are all so beautiful, and our Scholar is so ugly!"
Qin Yun burst into laughter. "Auntie, it's not as exaggerated as you make it sound!"
The auntie looked around and asked with a smile, "Scholar left his parents when he was very young, and his personality isn't very good. It must be hard to be with him, isn't it?"
The three girls shook their heads in unison. "No!"
The auntie immediately looked at me with all kinds of emotions: surprise, confusion, annoyance, and praise!
