NOVEL NEXT Ah Zhao nods.
She looks at those two who are still fighting then turns to Ji Yunting: “Shall we leave? I don’t think they’ll finish soon.”
Ji Yunting doesn’t even look at them. He simply asks: “To where?”
Ah Zhao waves her hand generously: “To get you gears, of course.”
Gears?
Ji Yunting looks at his beginner gears pensively.
Is he even able to kill a level 10 monster given his current state?
Are they going to the beginner camp to hunt for gears?
Ah Zhao doesn’t know what’s on his mind. With a flicker of her hand, she takes Ji Yunting to somewhere else.
Ji Yunting doesn’t even have the time to feel surprised that Ah Zhao can teleport without a portal scroll while carrying him with her so he is even more stunned by the familiar scene in front of him.
Yes, he is familiar with this place.
It’s Succubus Forest, an instance famous for its extreme difficulty.
Among this area of dark and damp forest lives a beautiful but monstrous creature – Succubus.
It’s said she was hurt by her loved one when she was alive and turned into a monster after she died. She bears hatred and malice against all players.
Numerous players have it hard in this instance.
Ji Yunting is very familiar with it since Succubus Forest was the only place where he was able to acquire materials he needed for legendary weapons. To put it more specifically, he might acquire needed materials if he manages to kill Succubus, the Boss of Succubus Forest.
He has been to this instance for ten times, killed Succubus eight times, got himself killed twice before he finally acquired all the materials he needed.
He once swore that he wouldn’t step into this place for the rest of his life if possible.
However, right now, looking at himself, he is totally confused.
Back when he was at the peak of his power, he wasn’t as good as that ferocious monster, how will he manage to kill her with beginner gears?
Let alone Succubus, he will be killed easily by those less powerful monsters before he gets to meet her.
Not aware of what’s on his mind, Ah Zhao suddenly reaches out her hand and takes Ji Yunting’s.
Ji Yunting: “?!”
He feels a warm touch on his hand. Though it’s only in the game, due to the authentic virtual reality, the touch feels so real.
Ji Yunting’s heart flutters. Still a virgin at his age, he has never been so intimate with a female before so he wants to get rid of her hand almost immediately.
Ah Zhao glares at him: “Don’t move!”
With a perfect face designed by the game, plus being a cheat engine, Ji Yunting is deeply attracted by her beauty though he has seen numerous good-looking people in this game.
So, he doesn’t move anymore.
The gauze like moonlight shines from above on the two who are holding hands.
Regardless of where they are, they do look like a couple passionately in love out on a date.
Ah Zhao isn’t thinking about anything in particular. However, Ji Yunting has a strange feeling.
It doesn’t come from his intimacy with her but what he really feels.
He is surprised that he doesn’t feel repellent about such intimacy except wanting to get rid of her hand by reflex at first.
Ji Yunting knows himself well. He’s obsessed with cleanliness since he was a kid so he seldom lets others get close.
He has brought that habit with him into this game. In the past, he has never put his arms around Crane among the Clouds’s shoulders or hugged him like good buddies did even if they were good friends.
Or is this woman not a player?
Is that why I don’t hate her touch? Ji Yunting thinks.
[The author, with a pensive look: No, it’s because she’s your wife.]
