Chapter 40 - Sociophobia-kun: Stop Calling Me!
“Am I being reliant on you?”
Suo Fei was stunned by what he had said.
F**k... Was Laozi possessed by a delicate shou? How could I say this sentence? Even though I had that notion in my mind, I shouldn’t have said it out loud. A gong actually admitted being reliant on someone. Do you want to throw your face into the Pacific Ocean? How could I mingle in the gong circle (what?) with such a stain in my reputation?!
Well, although delicate gongs do exist, but... their market shares aren’t big. Have you seen a delicate gong having a shou harem?! Laozi had already spat a mouthful of blood when my outward appearance changed from an extremely overbearing ultimate gong to an ultimate shou. This time, even my inner self had deteriorated. How can I live this life?
No, I have to immediately rectify this. Suo Fei racked his brains, thinking about what he could do to redeem his gong aura.
At this time, Samael considerately gave him a way out of his awkward situation.
“You’re not being reliant on me. It’s just that you have trust in me, and that you need me.” Samael looked at him with eyes filled with gentleness, “You make me happy.”
At this moment, an overused but very accurate analogy was that Suo Fei was shot by an arrow straight to his heart. His heart skipped a beat after getting shot, and then resumed, thumping loudly in his chest. Suo Fei’s heart was beating so fast that his head spun. His face was also steaming hot.
This feeling was strange and confusing to him. He looked at Samael straight in the eyes. He knew that the demon was extremely attractive, more attractive than all his lil’ shous. But now, looking at those eyebrows that were exquisite beyond words, those beautiful purple eyes, and..... those thin lips. Everything about him left his mouth feeling parched and dry.
He felt that something was wrong with himself. He struggled to restrain himself and stiffly turned his head away. He had a hunch that if he didn’t look away, he might do something improper to Samael. Damn it! What’s the matter with me?!
Swiftly emptying his mind of wayward thoughts, Suo Fei finally felt the heat receding. He recalled what Samael had said and hurriedly replied, “Yes, it’s only mutual trust and need between us. You also want me, right? ” Suo Fei was utterly dumbfounded after realising what he had just said.
It’s need ah! How did it turn to want?! There’s a vast difference between the two!
At this moment, he really wanted to yell out: Sociophobia-kun, come back! Come back and control my mouth!
Sociophobia-kun: Stop calling me! I don’t know this fool! We’re not familiar!
Suo Fei: 〒 ▽ 〒
Spoken words are like spilled water, you cannot take it back. Suo Fei could only pray. There’s not much difference between the pronunciation of the two. Considering the context of his sentence, Samael could have heard it as ‘need’.
Thus, he cautiously looked up at Samael and stared at his purple eyes. The gentleness within had been replaced by a deep, bottomless abyss. He gazed at Suo Fei and whispered, “Right.”
Right? Right?!
Suo Fei: What’s right? Bro, did you hear me clearly or not? You want me or you need me, which is it? If you want me... Damn it, why does it feel like I’m getting hotter and hotter?!
Suo Fei took a deep breath and spared no effort to suppress the heat deep inside him. He realised that he absolutely shouldn’t be engrossed in this matter. Regardless of what Samael meant, he didn’t care anymore! Quickly, quickly change the topic, he thought.
He speedily took out the costly random teleportation array from his interspatial bag and studied it earnestly.
Yalance had a lot of teleportation magic. Consequently, there were also a lot of restrictions that could block teleportation magic. The Elven territory, Valinor, had a restriction that wouldn’t allow ordinary teleportation magic to pass through.
Of course, there were also some forbidden teleportation magic that couldn’t be blocked by this restriction.
However, the random teleportation array he bought could be easily blocked. This was because it only had one teleportation mechanism which couldn’t store a large amount of magic, making it impossible for it to break through the magic restriction.
Nevertheless, Suo Fei only needed to be teleported to the border of Valinor. He could slip in when the opportunity arises. He merely needed to save some time.
Suo Fei studied it and figured out the way to use it. It was simple and straightforward. He would only suffer a wave of dizziness and, in a blink of an eye, his ten thousand gold coins would be gone. What a fast way to spend money!
The border of Valinor was an unnamed forest. In fact, this place originally belonged to the Bois Canyon, which was as famous as the Knuhl Forest, but the Elves purposely created a buffer zone as a form of protection.
Samael and Suo Fei’s destination was this forest.
The random teleportation array was extremely incredible as it would honestly teleport them to this place.
The teleportation array could only teleport up to two people. The best way to minimise the risk of an accident happening midway was for the two to cling tightly to each other.
Because of the earlier ‘need or want’ situation, what should have been an innocent hug became awkward for Suo Fei. He feared that Samael would discover that his heart was beating too fast. He was also afraid that Samael would feel his overheating body. In short, he felt uneasy in every way possible.
Moreover, although it was a hug, his size made it seem like his entire being was being tightly embraced by Samael’s arms. The hands resting on his waist made him feel like a fish out of water. He tried to move slightly so that Samael’s hand wouldn’t be touching his waist. However, his movement only gave him the feeling that Samael was caressing him.
As soon as he had this idea, his waist suddenly felt itchy out of nowhere. Samael’s palm felt extremely hot. The warmth penetrated through his silky clothing and lingered on his skin, making him feel weak all over.
Suo Fei wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come. How should he bring up the matter of his waist being itchy in a pure and innocent manner?
Ultimate gong, there are a lot of ways to hug someone. Why are you persistently holding onto my waist, ah?
Unfortunately, Suo Fei was extremely distrustful of his own mouth at this moment, so he blushingly endured and didn’t say anything. He was caught up in his dilemma that he didn’t see that a smile was on Samael’s lips the whole time.
When they have been teleported, Suo Fei quickly broke out of the innocent hug that had only been necessitated by the situation.
The unnamed forest had tall trees that covered the sky. Suo Fei was just about to take a step when he sharply heard footsteps. His ears twitched and he quickly hid behind a huge tree.
They were heavy-footed, thus they definitely weren’t from the agile and elegant Elven clan. It also seemed like there were at least two of them.
A gruff voice sighed and complained, “We’ve been patrolling here for so long. Let alone any Pureblood elves, we haven’t even seen any elves.”
Another voice responded, “Stop complaining. It’s better to patrol here than to go to the territory of the Demons!”
“Ah, that’s true. Although the Elves are prideful, they wouldn’t indiscriminately kill the innocent. If we patrolled the border of the territory of the Demons and happened to anger a demon, we could be killed.”
“Exactly... Say, that Sofey Evans and Samael Launey, what do they look like?”
“Who knows, in any case, we only have to report it if we’ve encountered a Pureblood elf and a demon.
The gruff voice deliberately lowered his voice, “Hey, do you know what those two did to anger the king?”
“How could I know?”
“I heard that they killed that human...”
“Human? You mean that person?”
“Yes, a hundred year ago when the king was yet to be enthroned, two humans escaped from the Human territory after committing a crime. Later, the younger of the two died of an illness and the older human was sold. It was our king who had bought him. I heard that the human was so amazing that he even became a City Lord later on. Tsk tsk...”
“Hey, I’ve also heard that that human is good in bed...”
“That’s for sure. Otherwise, why is our king unable to forget him?”
“Hey, these two guys actually got into trouble with the King of Trolls. They are really living life to the fullest.”
The two sighed and walked away...
After listening to their whole conversation, Suo Fei thought that the two trolls must be blessed with good luck. They could even save their own lives while gossiping. If they had not spoken so clearly, when he and Samael heard their names, they would have undoubtedly appeared and subdued the two. Then, they would threaten and entice the two to spill out the whole story. Once the two had explained the matter to them, they would have killed them off to silence them.
Now, they have explained so clearly that Suo Fei and Samael had no need to show up. Naturally, they wouldn’t bother dealing with the two trolls. That would only put the enemy on guard.
Suo Fei was not compassionate, but it would be better if they didn’t shed any blood. He was a modern person who wasn’t that hard-hearted. But if his life was really at risk, he would have to be hard-hearted even if he’s not.
Suo Fei was somewhat surprised by the information he had heard from the trolls. It was obvious that the human they were talking about was Aryan. Aryan actually knew the King of Trolls? This game is truly filled with surprises.
Speaking of which, when he played the game, Balnor the King of Trolls had always been steadfast in being a villain boss. He was always trying to hunt him down. At that time, he couldn’t figure out why this big chap was so hostile to him. It seemed that it was because he had snatched his lil’ shou from him.
Now, however, this ultimate gong daren didn’t steal Aryan away but directly killed him instead. Balnor’s enmity would undoubtedly be greater...
He recalled the dreadful matters that happened when he was subjugating the Trolls and was reluctant to think about it. Thus, he pushed the matter aside.
Instead, he deliberated on how to sneak into Valinor.
His previous experience in the game was completely useless here. Looking back, he acted in an overbearing manner to ‘marry’ Manzy. He charged straight on and entered Valinor purely by force. The Elves were so weak that they couldn’t withstand a single blow. How could they stop the mighty and domineering him?
But now... He turned his head to look at Samael. Ultimate gong-kun was still here. However, Manzy was the sixth shou that he had conquered. The game had been nearing its end thus it was needless to say that the ultimate gong-kun was already unrivaled under the heavens, or nearly anyways.
At this moment, Samael was still a teenager. As for being way out of their leagues... Forget it.
They could just run away if they were unable to control the situation well, but the losses would outweigh the gains.
So, how could they get in?
As it turned out, all his worries were for naught.
Looking at the approaching silver-haired elf, Suo Fei only had one thought in mind: There must have been something fishy about that damned white bead!
