Chapter 671: Man and Woman

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi returned to the basin to save Autumn Love, and on the way, he easily killed the ten helpers again. However, by the time he reached the basin, he just saw Autumn Love lying on the ground. Princess Huaiyu was nowhere to be seen.

“Where’s the person who killed you?”

Autumn Love resurrected and looked around, her eyes reddening.

There were a few piles of debris on the ground around her. They were all that remained of the materials that had been destroyed.

After Princess Huaiyu killed Autumn Love, she had initially planned to just stand there and prevent her from resurrecting. However, Autumn Love kept whining at her to “leave my materials alone”, until Princess Huaiyu lost her temper and ordered her Purple-gold Combat Tiger to use Stomp on the materials, destroying them all.

“I lost so much moneyyy. Fifteen, thirty-five, sixty-eight, seventy-nine...”

Autumn Love counted the money with her fingers, utterly confounding Li Yi.

Li Yi could not stand it anymore. “Sis, would you just stop? Tell me how much the stuff is worth, and stop counting. I’ll just give you the money, just take it as I bought everything from you, okay?”

Autumn Love immediately came up with a number, “It’s 2,654 Gold Coins and 12 Silver Coins in total. I’ll forget about the 5 Copper Coins, I’m sure you don’t have small change like that...”

“Here, 3,000 Gold Coins, just take it!”

Li Yi tried to initiate a trade with Autumn Love, but he tapped the interface several times, but the trading window never appeared. It was only then that Li Yi remembered Autumn Love was now Shameless, so she did not have the right to trade with others.

Autumn Love reacted quickly. As soon as she saw Li Yi’s expression, she knew what had happened. “Transfer it to the Winter account. Winter Dong Dong Dong.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll do it.”

Li Yi was so angry he nearly laughed. After he transferred the money to her, he got onto his mount and took off into the sky.

“Brother Dark Wing, where are you going?”

“I’m not farming monsters anymore, so don’t come with me.”

“I never finished what I was going to say. Actually, I really need money right now, because...”

Autumn Love opened her mouth, but she did not complete the sentence. There was no point, anyway, because Li Yi’s figure had vanished from sight. He was no longer there to hear it.

Li Yi stayed in the air and only landed when he had left Autumn Love’s line of sight.

In his hand, he held the Divine Looking Glass.

The Divine Looking Glass was not very easy to use sometimes, but it could also really come in handy at times. Now, for instance, the Looking Glass easily locked onto Princess Huaiyu’s coordinates.

Li Yi transformed into a Lightning Leopard and secretly approached Princess Huaiyu’s general direction.

“You’re all trash! I’m so mad at myself for knowing you guys.”

Princess Huaiyu was standing on the ice not too far away, blasting off messages to swear at the ten helpers Li Yi had killed.

“Shoot Until Daybreak! Shoot Until Daybreak, where have you f*cked off to? Why aren’t you replying?!”

“Princess, I’m here. I was busy so I had to step away just now.”

“You... Ahh, you piss me off! Y-You’re all such jerks!”

Princess Huaiyu blew her top, howling and screaming on the ice. As a result, she was completely oblivious to Li Yi approaching her with Stealth.

The Purple-gold Combat Tiger’s eyes were trained on Li Yi. The beast had very powerful senses, but it could not be very sure if there was danger lurking there.

“Grrr...” The Purple-gold Combat Tiger growled slightly, warning its owner.

“Shut up, you’re annoying!”

Princess Huaiyu smacked the Purple-gold Combat Tiger’s head forcefully, and the large tiger closed its mouth, too scared to growl again.

When the Purple-gold Combat Tiger raised the alarm, Li Yi had stopped in his tracks, but when he heard Princess Huaiyu scolding it, he immediately sped up and darted forth.

“Territory Activation!”

As soon as Li Yi undid the transformation, a veil of light exploded from his body, enveloping Princess Huaiyu in an instant.

“Ah, Dark Wing! Hurry up, guys, Dark Wing is here with me!”

Princess Huaiyu yelled loudly and ordered her Purple-gold Combat Tiger to meet the enemy head-on.

“Roar—”

The Purple-gold Combat Tiger ran toward Li Yi slowly. Under the Territory’s influence, the Purple-gold Combat Tiger was moving about as quickly as a snail. It looked like it was running in space, making quite the comical sight.

The same applied to Princess Huaiyu as well. She had learned a Territory, but in terms of their levels, she was no match for Li Yi at all. Her reflexes were only slightly better than Jiaojiao, so she could move in the Territory to some extent.

She lifted her leg up high, and put it down slowly. She then held open her arms, and lifted them gradually...

It was all too slow. Li Yi did not even need to run. He just walked straight ahead and easily avoided the Space Combat Tiger pouncing at him. After that, he walked right up to Princess Huaiyu and smiled at her.

“What do you want? I’m telling you, if you do anything mean to me, I... I’ll make sure you regret it.”

Princess Huaiyu was scared stiff, her anxiety clearly indicating that she had heard all about Li Yi’s horrible reputation.

Li Yi nodded helplessly. “You’re worried for nothing...”

It was true, Princess Huaiyu looked decent, but she was nothing compared to the women around Li Yi. Setting aside beauties like Lin Qian and the Xu sisters, even the gentle girl Fire Ice was leagues ahead of her.

“Then what do you wanna do? You’re bullying a girl! Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Am I bullying you?”

“You are right now! You hooligan, you piece of trash, you disgust me!”

Princess Huaiyu had quite the mouth on her. With just two lines, she had already ticked Li Yi off.

“You killed my friend once, and I’ll kill you once. Isn’t that fair?”

Li Yi took a few steps back and threw a Gold-colored Hunt Target at Princess Huaiyu. After that, all it took was a regular arrow to off her with one shot.

Hunt Targets could be stacked to increase their ATK by five times, and this increase applied to both skills and regular shots. Of course, if he used the Powered-up Arrow, it would be increased tenfold.

Princess Huaiyu dropped the Purple Quality Bow she was holding, and Li Yi did not even glance at it, leaving without a word. Right now, a decent Purple Quality Bow was barely worth 200 Gold Coins, so he really could not be bothered to pick it up.

As soon as Li Yi left, Shoot Until Daybreak and the ten helpers ran over to her. Princess Huaiyu resurrected and immediately began biting their heads off.

“You’re all a bunch of useless pieces of trash! You just stood there and watched me getting killed without even trying to help. Goodness knows why your parents gave birth you to you. You’re all trash, worthless!”

The ten helpers and Shoot Until Daybreak exchanged glances, their faces turning green and purple for the nerves and anger. While they were all angry, not one of them complained to Princess Huaiyu.

“Don’t be mad, Princess. We’ll definitely do better next time.”

Princess Huaiyu insulted him mercilessly. “Cut the sweet talk. Forget next time, even the next next time, you’ll still die the same way. You’re just a pile of trash, and I was blind to ask you for help.

“And you, Shoot Until Daybreak? Doesn’t everyone call you the Ninth Continent’s Number One Archer? You’re number one, as is Dark Wing, but why are you the one who dies every time? Wouldn’t you call that trash?”

Shoot Until Daybreak released a long breath. “Princess, I’ve treated you as my friend, and I respected you all this time. Could I just ask that you respect me too?”

“Shoot Until Daybreak, could you not act all high and mighty?”

“F*ck you, how dare you talk back to Yuyu! That’s ridiculous!”

“Exactly! Lil Yu is adorable, how could you talk to her like that? Ij just... I’m speechless.”

The ten helpers accused Shoot Until Daybreak in unison, saying he had gone too far.

Princess Huaiyu yelled at Shoot Until Daybreak, “Get out of my sight, I don’t wanna see you! Go away!”

“Princess, I...”

“Don’t call me Princess, I don’t know you!”

Princess Huaiyu left in a huff, followed by her posse of admirers and their incessant consolations.

Shoot Until Daybreak just stood there, his brows practically knitted together.

Li Yi had witnessed Princess Huaiyu’s entire tantrum from afar.

It was a joy for him to watch. He had long since heard that Princess Huaiyu had a princess complex, and what he saw today proved the rumors true. He was just confused; considering how irritating she was, why did the men around her still protect her so dearly?

He... could not understand this at all.

Just as Li Yi was sighing to himself, he saw Shoot Until Daybreak run forth quickly, chasing Princess Huaiyu and apologizing to her sincerely and constantly.

“...”

Li Yi was stunned speechless. It seemed that Princess Huaiyu’s princess complex was not all her fault, it was just that there were too many shameless men around her.

...

Princess Huaiyu led the eleven men around the area, while Li Yi focused on looking for Emperor Lan. To Li Yi, torturing an enemy of Princess Huaiyu’s level could not pique his interest at all. That was why his stance was that as long as she did not bother him, he would not chase her down without letting go either.

A day passed in a flash, and Li Yi still could not find Emperor Lan. Feeling slightly frustrated, he logged off.

“Go, go, Daybreak! You really are the fastest. C’mon, you idiots, fight him for it!

“You’re so stupid., soo stupid! Lead them here before you kill them, if you’re too far away, I won’t get any EXP. Are you telling me to run over there? You really are... Gah, you make me so mad!”

Princess Huaiyu rode a White-colored Chocobo, constantly giving the eleven men around her orders as they killed the monsters. Others had to grind levels with the weapons in their hands, but she only needed to use her mouth.

There were eleven men killing monsters for her, so the monsters on the glacier were in for a hard time. After one group died, there was another, and Princess Huaiyu did not need to do anything at all, but her EXP increased nonetheless...

...

The next day, Li Yi went online and continued to search for Emperor Lan. While he was looking, Autumn Love sent him a message, saying she was still at the basin, and that she would inform him as soon as the Glacier Giants spawned.

That was good to know. With Autumn Love standing watch at the basin, Li Yi did not need to run back and forth now. He just had to focus all his attention on looking for Emperor Lan.

Where there is a will, there is a way. At noon, Li Yi sensed a vague current of warmth rising from underneath his feet. After he looked around for a bit, he smashed open the ice and crawled into a cave of ice, finding one of the Three Heroes, Emperor Lan, inside.

Emperor Lan looked the same as he did before. He still had a giant greatsword slung across his back, and roiling heat all over his body. Before Li Yi even approached him, he could already feel the intolerable heat.

“We seem to be fated to meet, my young friend. I can’t believe we meet again, cough cough cough...”

Emperor Lan was extremely surprised to see Li Yi. He laughed a few times, and there was the chime of a system notification telling Li Yi that Emperor Lan’s Affinity for him had increased by 500 points.

Emperor Lan was hard to pin down, and every time the player found him in a different place, his Affinity would automatically increase. In other words, if one could find Emperor Lan repeatedly, his Affinity could theoretically increase to Worship.

“My young friend, is there a reason you sought me out this time?”

Emperor Lan stood up slowly and Li Yi saw that he held a diamond-shaped bloodstone in his hand.

A bloodstone?

Something stirred in Li Yi’s mind.
