Chapter 156
She knew she had forgotten something. _(:3ゝ∠)_
Aiya, forget that for now. Her husband was most important. Watching the man approach closer and closer, XunMi could no longer keep the smile off her face. She was just about to speak when the man interrupted said something that froze her in her place.
“What part of the game did you get your mask from? Are you selling it? How much?” His voice was cold with a sliver of passion. It was a feeling XunMi was very familiar with.
But right now, she really wanted to swear. So what he had been looking at with so much emotion wasn’t her, but her mask?!
Si YuFan didn’t care what this golden clothed beauty was thinking on the inside. He only fixated his gaze directly on the mask on her face. It really was beautiful, he really wanted to collect it. Eh, the clothes she was wearing was also pretty good too. His hands began to itch. Would she be willing to sell that too?
But the one he wanted to collect the most was her person. He didn’t know why, but when he first saw her, he felt like this person was supposed to be his.
“Sir.” After seeing that his eyes were finally on hers, XunMi held back her emotions to respond. “Terribly sorry. But no, I’m not selling.”
Geez, she was too confident. What happened to their soul contract? Their ability to recognize each other at first glance? The expectations versus reality was so saddening.
Si YuFan’s eyes flashed in puzzlement. XunMi could also see the hurt peeking out.
“Move aside.” Her temper wasn’t great. It was one thing for her husband not to recognize her. But it was another for him to make her blood pressure rise so much in anger.
Shangguan Qi and Zi Qin had expressions of shock while looking at the man that had suddenly appeared. He was too famous. This was the first place of the ranking chart, the mysterious and allusive great god.
“If you don’t sell your mask, I’m going to follow you.” Si YuFan didn’t know why this person was angry. He just wanted to form a connection with her. But it didn’t matter. Even if she ignored him, he’ll follow her. Humph.
XunMi gritted her teeth. What did he mean? Why did he want this mask so much? “You-you.” She didn’t even know what to say. “Alright, if you want to follow, then follow. Do whatever you want.” She believed that, with this NPC OP levels, she would be able to shake him off if she wanted to.
She wouldn’t punish him now. After he falls in love with her, she’ll make sure to settle the score. She bypassed the three people in front of her. She wanted to go check out the Nine Tailed Fox mission. They said that there was a boss deep in the mountains. She wanted to see if she could use their inner spiritual power to help nurture Xiao Bai. She hadn’t planned on taking Xiao Bai out in a XuanHuan setting, but Xiao Bai was too cute. But as soon as Xiao Bai entered the xuanhuan plane, he was forced to fall into a deep sleep or else he wouldn’t be able to handle the strength of the new plane’s energy. She would need Xiao Bai to cultivate up to Godbeast level.
Si YuFan froze for a second before quickly following after XunMi.
Shangguan Qi and Zi Qin looked at each other before also leaving. Since that Flower Spirit Queen wasn’t there, there was no point in going. Zi Qin had more pressing matters on her hands so decided to temporarily put her issues with Shangguan Qi aside.
Her master had always wanted to win over this great player but never had the chance. Now she knew this God was interested in that woman’s mask. Then, if she helped him get it, would that leave a good impression on him? She schemed quickly in her head. She completely omitted the possibility that XunMi wouldn’t want to sell her mask.
Quickly, XunMi and Si YuFan walked through two small paths and reached a forest with vibrant mountains and clear waters. The two quickly became the point of gossip for “Chaos” players. God Si was quietly following a woman wearing a golden feathered mask and clothes. It was a beautiful scene, because it was also talked about because of the hidden mysteries within the scene. This beautiful woman’s name was unfamiliar but she had jumped all the way up onto the hidden Gods ranking chart. Those who had just been trying to observe their gaming idol suddenly bumped into the two of them in strange and outrageous ways.
XunMi completely ignored everyone, including the person following alongside her. She roamed while searching for game missions to complete. But XunMi was still a bit confused on the information her system panel was showing her about her mission in this world.
Main Mission: Discover the purpose of “Chaos” and return to reality.
Side Mission: Get revenge for the original soul and counterattack the scum man.
Related Mission: ? (Needs to be triggered)
Hidden Mission: ? (Needs to be triggered)
She didn’t understand the last two question marks. But more importantly, she didn’t even understand the first one! The purpose for “Chaos”? It looked like there was some big secret hidden inside the game. But what she was pondering about was how to return to reality. To appear in the outside world, she would first need a physical body. Where was she supposed to find a body? How was she supposed to cross over the barrier that existed between game and reality? These were important questions, and she didn’t like stressing about them.
She swirled her head around and saw the man blinking down at her pitifully. “Si Handsome, are you sure you want to follow me around?” XunMi looked straight into his eyes. {T/N:his name in the game, 司帅, means si handsome literally. But it also sounds like a homonym for Marshal Si. I don’t know if that’s where the plot is going but with my years of Chinese novel reading, there’s a 95.6% chance that’s exactly where this is going.}
Why did she feel like her husband had some weird habits in this world? Especially this game name. It was too disgusting ok?
Finally hearing the golden beauty speak to him, Si YuFan heart almost flew up.
“If you don’t give me the mask, I’ll keep following you. Wherever you go, I go.” He just wanted to follow her.
XunMi squeezed her temple. She felt a coming headache. “Si Handsome, this mask is compatible with my clothing. I found it during the JueXian Pavilion mission. There’s only this one set in the entire “Chaos” world. I’ve now cultivated it to be my fighting armor. So, terribly sorry but there’s no way I’m selling it.” Because this was her husband, she explained the situation clearly.
Si YuFan’s eyes flashed with pity but his expression stayed firm. She was completely wrong for thinking this person felt cold and indifferent. Not when his thoughts were clearly visible through his eyes! This guy definitely didn’t have face paralysis. If he showed symptoms before, he was faking it!
“Come with me to fight JueXian Pavilion. If we can’t win, then I won’t follow you.” I’ll cling onto you instead. Si YuFan clarified to himself.
XunMi was silent. This fellow must think that she wouldn’t ever attack him. But now, her hands were suddenly itchy. She took a deep breath. “JueXian Pavilion’s Flower Spirit isn’t there. Even if you want to fight in that storybook, you can’t. Also, I’m going to go find the Nine-Tailed Fox now, you can go be free.” She forced out a smile.
Si YuFan lowered his head to think for a second before nodding his head.
XunMi was finally able to sigh with relief. She immediately began walking straight ahead. The Nine-Tailed Fox’s territory was right ahead. She pulled out her icy blue jade flute from her space inventory. In her hands, the flute slightly glowed with light, illustrating its abnormal abilities.
Meanwhile, Si YuFan, who had just decided to continue clinging to XunMi tomorrow, suddenly widened his eyes.
