Wiping her hands, she smiled sweetly, “It’s been nice despite getting less sleep than usual. At 5 I woke up to do the laundry for the studio and wiped down the floors. After that, I have to tack up new wallpaper. The original one is far too old and moldy.”
I nodded my head in satisfaction, “Good job!”
Opening and closing her mouth, Dong Cheng Yue was staring at Matcha, unsure of what to say.
I glanced up at her with a smile, and said, “Diligence is beauty, isn’t it?”
Dong Cheng and Wan Er both grew red in the face, “Yeah
We ordered many dishes and a case of beer while Wan Er gave a call to Yuzi Chenghsuo to tell her to meet half an hour after the original time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to finish our dinner in time.
Holding her wine glass, Dong Cheng Yue turned to look at me, “Xiao Yao, why don’t you summarize what we have accomplished so far in the Five Barbarian Tomb Mission?”
Smiling, I said, “There’s not much to summarize; we’ve all performed nicely, and we have earned quite a bit. Old K learned [Whirlwind Slash] while Dong Cheng learned [Thunderbolt Finger] and a good amount of Purple Tier equipment dropped as well! These events have most definitely made us stronger. We just need to take down another 2 bosses and Zhan Long’s strength will shock the whole of Ba Huang City!”
Wolf laughed, “Brother Xiao Yao, what do you mean ‘our Zhan Long’? The beautiful Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue are not a part of Zhan Long…”
I turned to look at the two girl as their bright,wide eyes looked back at me. Swallowing hard, I said, “Who said that? Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue will join Zhan Long in the future, so they are one of us!”
Unexpectedly, Wan Er gave a wide smile without saying denying it while Dong Cheng Yue excitedly grinned, “That’s right!”
With that, Fox clasped his wine cup with excitement, “It seems like we’ve already persuaded Fan Shu City’s number one and two beauties to join Zhan Long. That’s great! If Cang Tong and Cang Yue joins as well, then that will make us even stronger! Come on, a toast, Ganbei!”
us even stronger! Come on, a toast, Ganbei!”
TL Note: Ganbei is the Chinese way of giving a toast, like saying Kanpai in Japanese.
We all drained the rest of our cups with joy.
……
After a few drinks, Wolf and I were far from feeling drunk but the lightweight Wan Er was already turning red in the face. She leaned back on her chair to breathe as her 34D breasts moved up and down with her breaths, making her look somewhat disheveled–not that I minded of course.
“What’s wrong, drank too much?” I asked, whispering into her ear.
Shaking her head in denial, Wan Er replied, “Not at all, how could I give up this early?”
“In that case…” I poured another glass of wine to toast with, “Young mi—Wan Er, why don’t we both have another drink?”
“Sure…”
She gently nodded her head as she drunk the glass of wine, the sides of her lips curling upwards to form a beautiful smile. “Li Xiao Yao sure is careless…”
I stayed quiet.
Dong Cheng Yue was lying on top of the table, trying to watch us secretly when she shook her head, “It’s over, it’s like I don’t even have a chance anymore…”
……
Not even an hour later, the food was almost all gone.
Matcha was surfing the forums on her phone and then suddenly brought her head up. “Something happened in . Take a guess, what do you think just happened?”
Wolf raised an eyebrow, “Ba Huang City has collapsed?”
“Idiot…” Matcha replied.
“[Vanguard] is fighting with [Prague]?” Fox asked.
“Obviously not…” I commented, “I’m betting that [Flying Dragon] is about to fight with [Valiant Bravery]. The odds are too high for that not to happen…”
Matcha laughed and nodded her head, “Yea that’s exactly what happened, of course Boss is smart enough to guess it! Two hours ago, [Flying Dragon] entered Qilin Valley to look for Lv 6 Qilin herbs but was met with an exploration team led by General Wang Jian of [Valiant Bravery]. They started to fight it out in Qilin Valley with both sides constantly bringing in reinforcements. Finally, [Flying Dragon] brought over 3000 people to fight against the 1700 people of [Valiant Bravery].”
“What was the end result?” I asked.
“[Valiant Bravery] was defeated, but [Flying Dragon] was left with serious damages. By the end of the battle, [Flying Dragon] was left with around 40 people. I heard that if it wasn’t for the fact that General Bai Qi and General Lian Po were killed by a Knight that came out of nowhere, then [Flying Dragon] would have suffered defeat instead.”
My eyes widened at the news, “That Knight…could it be Drunken Spear the Nature Knight?”
“That’s right, did Boss also take notice of this guy?”
“I have, I’ll have to keep an eye out for this guy in the future…”
“Yea, Drunken Spear is said to be very strong, so if we continue to fight with [Flying Dragon], then we’ll have to confront the Nature Knight, Drunken Spear someday.”
confront the Nature Knight, Drunken Spear someday.”
Wan Er looked at her phone, her mouth wide open, “What the…someone is mocking Zhan Long!”
“Who’s mocking us?” Old K asked.
Wan Er replied, “Drunken Spear… he said, ‘Zhan Long only has a combat strength of 5…”
TL: Combat strength of 5 = Dragon Ball reference – Raditz scans a human farmer and sees that his combat power is only 5 which by their standards is very weak – Credit to JohnFox
“Asshole!” Old K thumped the table with his fist, “He should pray that I don’t see him!”
……
I kept calm, “Don’t let words make you explode in anger. This kind of temper should be avoided at all costs. Zhan Long’s first step will be taking a foothold in Ba Huang City. If Drunken Spear wants to poke fun at us then let him do so. But after we finish the 5 Barbarian Tomb Mission, we’ll go and pay a visit to Drunken Spear!”
“Okay!”
