Augustus pointed at Li Yi while throwing a question at Jiaojiao, “Young lady, is he your lover?”
“A good friend,” Jiaojiao nodded.
“It’s great to be young. Sigh, looking at you guys remind me of the things I went through when I was young. During that time, Red Dragon Queen was just a little dragon whelp and Holy Light Envoy Elenor was still in diapers...”
Augustus was babbling on and on but what he talked about was not some continental secret, it was about his private matters.
Li Yi was gobsmacked just from listening.
He has been here plenty of times yet this was the first time hearing Augustus talk about himself.
“Young lady, you’re very much like my friend. Character-wise, looks-wise, body-wise, you look the same. It’s a shame though, during the invasion of Abyssal demons, my friend was hurled into some foreign dimension. I guess she’s probably dead by now...”
Augustus sighed lamentably. Even Red Dragon Queen who was resting beneath his feet felt his regret as she lifted her head and moaned in response.
System Notification: [You’ve lent an ear to Augustus’ woes. Augustus’ Affinity towards you has been raised by 1,000 points. The attitude between both parties is now Intimate.]
Upon receiving the System Notification, Li Yi was greatly astonished.
No way... Just by listening to a few words and his Affinity has risen?
Li Yi could not make sense of it.
Many have tried to increase their Affinity with Augustus but this old man had quite a peculiar temper. If one were to present him a gift, he would happily accept. If one was here for a quest, he would nod and acknowledge it but raising Affinity with him was something just out of reach.
What Jiaojiao said next left Li Yi on the verge of collapse.
“Perverted Wing, the old man’s Affinity increased by 5,000 points.”
F*cking hell!
So it seemed in many circumstances, women had a natural advantage over men. He had to admit that fact...
“I remember my friend once gave me a treasured bracelet that was lost in Southern Continent’s Wailing Grotto. It was the only item left of her in this world. Sigh, I’ve been searching for it for many years yet it has not been found.”
Augustus let out a sorrowful sigh. He then looked at Li Yi and Jiaojiao to announce a quest, “Are you willing to help me find the bracelet?”
“Ding!”
Li Yi and Jiaojiao received a quest notification at the same time.
Hall of Fame dual quest!
“Yes!” Li Yi and Jiaojiao answered in unison.
“Hehe, great. Danger lurks in Wailing Grotto. Young lady, here I have three scrolls for you. I hope they will be of help when you meet with danger.”
Augustus took out three gold-colored scrolls and handed them to Jiaojiao.
Li Yi’s eyes rolled back in disbelief. He was speechless at the whole situation. Preferential treatment. He has been here a few times now and this old man never gifted him anything.
Li Yi gently coughed, “Your Excellency, I’m afraid of danger as well.”
Augustus was displeased, “Humph, what kind of man are you if you can’t protect your own woman?”
Well, it was pointless to answer that. He may have a fallout with the old man if this conversation continued on.
Augustus looked at Jiaojiao amiably, imploring in a gentle voice, “Young lady, the path of the Black Paladin class is a vicious one. You must remember to always be kind.”
Augustus turned around and resumed his staring-to-the-distance pose.
[Quest: Search of Caitley’s beloved bracelet]
[Quest Requirement: Head to Southern Continent’s Wailing Grotto to find Windrunner Caitley’s beloved bracelet.]
[Quest Difficulty: A class]
[Quest Reward: ???]
What rewards would a completed A-class Hall of Fame quest bring?
Li Yi was pleasantly surprised.
Jiaojiao asked, “Perverted Wing, is the quest we received the same? Finding a bracelet?”
“Uh huh, this is a Hall of Fame dual quest. Both of us have to complete it together.”
“So the rewards must be good, huh? Could it be a divine weapon?”
“Possibly.”
“Yay!”
Jiaojiao pumped her fist excitedly.
“Your Excellency!”
Prior to leaving, Li Yi took out his orange bow and showed it to Augustus.
“Is there any way to break the Pantheon seal on the bow?”
Augustus narrowed his eyes, “Easy, capture one of the gods who played a part in sealing the bow for interrogation.”
“...”
Li Yi and Jiaojiao went down the mountain but they did not head to the Southern Continent yet. Instead, they returned to the Arena.
Jiaojiao used her King’s Order once more. This time, she did not reel in the entire nation but limited it to only summoning members of Little Drunk Cat.
“We called you here today for one thing. To practice your combo techniques. You all have seven days and all levels are eligible. As long as you can maintain a good combo, you will be promoted to the Elite Party and enjoy the guild benefits!” Li Yi was straight to the point.
There was an uproar from the members of Little Drunk Cat
There were currently over thirty thousand guild members but those who could enjoy the guild benefits numbered no more than three hundred.
“Only on combo? C’mon baby!”
Countless people were cheering and jumping with joy. A few of those who could not wait had already teleported to Mirror venue to start their training.
It was a mistake to employ a casual party for Light Conference. He has to raise a batch of reliable players from his own guild or else he would never be able to clear Light Conference.
Technique and team coordination were equally crucial!
In Light and Darkness Instance, the way it was played in each of these 5-man group dungeons was different. There were many areas where tacit cooperation was required.
The entire Little Drunk Cat was mobilized. Those who were not Elite members aimed to be Elites while the already Elite members aimed to be Core members. The Arena was bustling with activity.
It was Jiaojiao’s first time in a Hall of Fame quest so for better cooperation with Li Yi, she brought her eye-wear controller to Li Yi’s place to fight alongside him.
Jiaojiao cooked a meal for Li Yi before grabbing her backpack and headed out the door.
“Perverted Wing, wait for me tonight to go at it. I’m heading to work now.”
“I’ll wait for you tonight.”
Jiaojiao has a tough job as a Tae Kwon Do instructor, teaching women self-defense. She has two classes a week and although the money was not much, her schedule was free and relaxed.
Li Yi was not clear whether the art of self-defense taught by Jiaojiao was effective. He once went to pay instructor Jiaojiao a visit during a practice session, it was just a scene of rumbling-tumbling boobs and asses, with a split or two. He could not help but wonder if he could just take all these women and...
It was not that Li Yi has a dirty mind but these women in action were just too sexy...
And wild!
For the sake of a smooth completion in the Wailing Grotto quest, Li Yi went out his way to purchase a few bottles of Jiaojiao’s favorite red wine before returning home for a quick shower and nap in anticipation of Jiaojiao’s arrival.
Ding dong, ding dong...
Li Yi’s spirits soared at the sound of the doorbell and hopped off his bed in his pajamas to open the door.
“Why... are you here?”
Li Yi opened the door, thinking it was Jiaojiao. He was about to ask why she was late but the person at the door turned out to be Little Elf from the Magical Realm — Yang Rong!
Yang Rong was dressed in an all-black office lady wear. Seeing Li Yi’s bemused face, she crossed her hands and smiled, “What? I’m unwelcome?”
“N-nnno.”
“Is there some other woman in there? It’s not a great time? I’d best be leaving then.”
Yang Rong motioned to leave but Li Yi stopped her.
“No woman, it’s only odd because it’s getting dark yet you’re here instead of being at home with Momo.”
Li Yi invited Yang Rong into the house.
“Momo went to her nana’s. I came over since I had nothing to do.”
Yang Rong took off her jacket as she said this and hung it on the wall. It looked so natural it was as though she was the woman of this place. Li Yi could not help but stare.
How odd. Since when did Director Yang become so familiar? He remembered she was not like this the last time.
Yang Rong tilted her head and looked at Li Yi, “What? I’m not welcome here? Why the sad face? If you don’t wish to see me, I can leave now, you know.”
“No way, I’m happy you came.”
Li Yi took out a beverage from the fridge and handed it to Yang Rong.
“Happy? Then why the cold treatment?” A streak of sadness flashed past Yang Rong’s eyes.
“Cold treatment?”
Li Yi was stunned.
The doorbell rang.
Yang Rong sat upright and smiled, “Your family’s back?”
“My parents are always on business trips, it can’t be my family. Let me see.”
Li Yi bolted to open the door.
Li Yi opened the door thinking it was Jiaojiao this time but alas, it still was not.
Outside stood a petite, quiet woman. Her clear white face was framed with black spectacles. This woman was Fire Ice.
“Ice... You?”
Li Yi was mystified by the entire situation. He could not tell if he was in a dream or reality at this point.
“Hello, Guild... Guild Master,” Fire Ice spoke and quickly lowered her head.
“Cough cough, c-come in.”
Li Yi led Fire Ice into the house. He secretly pinched his thigh but the sharp pain told him that this was no dream.
Fire Ice paced quickly towards Yang Rong. She grabbed her hand before taking a seat.
“Don’t be nervous. You will be neighbors with him now. Why the nervousness?”
Yang Rong and Fire Ice’s conversation had Li Yi further confused.
“You guys? Came together?” It took Li Yi a while to say anything.
“Yeah, I came with Sister Rong. Earlier when you two were... I... I was just outside,” The redness on Fire Ice’s cheeks deepened.
Li Yi’s face flushed red.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
Li Yi has not yet wrapped his head around the situation when the godd*mn doorbell rang again.
Who was it this time?
Li Yi was completely stupefied, too stunned to open the door.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The door was kicked open at the third bang. Jiaojiao was humming a song as she entered. However, the scene in the house left her flabbergasted.
Yang Rong and Fire Ice were sitting on the couch with their faces red while Li Yi was standing beside, dressed in Crayon Shin-chan cartoon pajamas with his chest exposed...
