It took them until three in the afternoon to finish their lunch before the two were willing to leave the restaurant.
They were both drunk.
As they entered the car, Jiaojiao muttered as she vented out her worries to Li Yi while the latter listened to her eagerly as an audience. As they chatted, he began to grab hold of her hand.
“Are you trying to take advantage of me? I’ll have you know that I’m an eighteenth Dan black belt.” Jiaojiao scoffed as she tried to retract her hand. However, Li Yi was incredibly persistent and she was not able to pull her hand away successfully after a few tries. So, she had no choice but to let him be.
There was only one thing that worried Jiaojiao, which was her parents. Her father had hooked up with a wild woman due to his career and decided to abandon his wife and daughter. As their family’s condition was not well off, this had caused Jiaojiao to build a wall between her and everyone else.
“My mom and dad will be in court soon. I’m not afraid of that woman but she kept pestering my mum all this while. Huhuhu…”
Jiaojiao kept venting out her worries while Li Yi listened to her sincerely while he subconsciously pulled her closer so that he could hug her.
“I’ll let you have this advantage just this once. There won’t be a next time.” Jiaojiao murmured.
Jiaojiao and Li Yi got down from the car as they walked together shoulder to shoulder.
“Alright bro, stop this.” Li Yi used his elbow to nudge Jiaojiao.
“Get lost!”
“About that.” Li Yi elevated his elbow and nudged Jiaojiao’s breast with it.
“F*cking pervert. Take this!”
Jiaojiao raised her leg up high at the staircase but Li Yi’s reaction was quick. He evaded to one side and used both of his hands to grab hold of her ankle so that her leg would not reach the ground.
Li Yi raised his hands higher as Jiaojiao stood on her other leg. As her leg was raised higher, she immediately blushed due to the posture she was currently in.
“You… Let go of your hand!” Jiaojiao was extremely embarra.s.sed.
“I’ll let go but you’ve got to promise to not kick me anymore.” Li Yi raised his hands higher as he spoke. He knew that Jiaojiao had learned Taekwondo before so this position would not hurt her at all.
“Fine fine fine. I won’t kick you. Let go of my leg quickly before someone pa.s.ses by. I….” Tears were about to stream down from Jiaojiao’s eyes as she kept struggling with her leg…
“Promise me you won’t be angry too.”
“Promise… I won’t be angry.”
“That’s good.”
Li Yi let go of his hands happily as Jiaojiao’s immediately threw a slap towards his face.
He was well prepared this time as he had already ducked down. However, he decided to raise his head back up immediately.
“Slap!”
It was a clear and tight slap. This slap was much more powerful than the one in the car as Li Yi’s face swelled up immediately…
“Ouch. That packed a punch.” Li Yi covered his face as he squatted on the ground.
“Hmpf. Who told you to not dodge it.” Jiaojiao’s small hand was burning in pain too but her anger was reduced by half as he saw Li Yi suffering in agony.
Li Yi hummed as he stood back up. “I could’ve dodged that but your hand would hit onto the wall if I were to do so. With that amount of strength you’ve put into your slap, you’ll be in much more pain even if you don’t break a bone or two.”
Jiaojiao was stunned.
Li Yi ignored her as he hummed his way up the stairs.
Li Yi’s phone rang as he reached home and sat down in front of his computer. He knew it was Jiaojiao without looking at the number.
“Sor…Sorry. I would throw a drunken fit if I drink.”
“There’s no use in apologizing. I’m in pain right now.” Li Yi was surprised. Although he predicted that Jiaojiao would definitely apologize, he did not expect her to do it so soon without beating around the bush.
“I’m… sorry. The most I would do next time… next time is…”
“What would you do next time?”
“Beep beep…”
Jiaojiao had hung up the phone and Li Yi sighed.
If he did not make the first move, there would not be any progression with this rude and unreasonable woman.
Concluding Wind-on-Snow’s incident was only tying one of Li Yi’s loose ends. His biggest worry was in fact not this one but Qian’er.
Ever since he had turned into a cheater in the past life, Jiaojiao had been paying her debts on her own. However, his love for Qian’er was so deep that he had promised to keep loving her until the next life. However, in the end…
Jiaojiao’s mother had urged her multiple times to marry someone, but Jiaojiao had never dated any man before. In fact, she did not even have a friend of the opposite s.e.x.
In comparison to Qian’er…
“Sigh!”
Li Yi gave out a loud sigh as he splashed his face with cold water to calm his agitated emotions.
He stopped pondering about it as he became more lost the more he thought about it. At this point… he decided to play it by ear.
Li Yi put on his helmet to enter the game after sobering up. He checked the time and realized that the rare elite was about to sp.a.w.n.
Li Yi’s character was on a tree. He was shocked as he looked down.
There was a White Elf female Archer sitting on the rare elite’s sp.a.w.n point. She was tall and covered in gold glowing equipment. She even had her pet, a Golden-feathered Hawk on her pauldron.
She was Princess Huaiyu!
Li Yi was able to recognize this female player instantly as she was one of the best Archers in the Western Continent.
Her path was primarily pet and traps was her secondary. In terms of her Shooting Path, she had stopped it at Chain Arrow. Her build was completely different from Li Yi’s.
Princess Huaiyu would have been recognized by everyone in this life if it were not for Li Yi and his achievements.
Princess Huaiyu was Night Moon’s most able general. Her skills were top notch, and her luck was incredibly good as well. Shortly after the server opened, she had obtained an uber legendary defense type pet, the Purple-gold Combat Tiger from the Mysterious Egg. One must acknowledge that Li Yi’s Violent Bear King was only the cream of the crop among the gold-graded pest. On the other hand, the Purple-gold Combat Tiger was an actual purple Epic-Level pet.
The practicality of the Purple-gold Combat Tiger was second to the Divine Phoenix and the probability of obtaining it from the Mysterious Egg was one in a trillion.
The Purple-gold Combat Tiger was the strongest defense type pet and the Violent Bear King would fade from the spotlight if the Combat Tiger were summoned.
Unlike Li Yi, an Archer who had added only a few points into the Pet Path, the player’s pet summoning limitation would be lifted once all 45 points of the Pet Path’s skill was maxed out. For example, if Li Yi wished to switch his pets during combat, he could only do so after leaving combat. On the other hand, players who had maxed out the 45 points in the Pet Path did not have such limitation. They could freely switch their pets at any given point in time. They could even revive their pets during combat once they had invested 65 points into the Pet Path.
Only those who had invested points in the Pet Path’s skill were able to fully utilize the pets’ combat capabilities. Li Yi who had been summoning the Violent Bear King could only utilize half of its strength.
Li Yi activated the Archery Omnipotence to scan his surroundings. He relaxed when he was certain that there were no other players nearby.
It was extremely easy to guess why Princess Huaiyu had come here alone. It was obvious that they had the same intention, which was to obtain another pet!
Was she here for the Lightning Leopard as well?
Li Yi evaluated Princess Huaiyu and instantly knew her current strength from her current equipment.
She was between Level 50 to 55. Excluding the purple bracers, her remaining equipment was all the best gold equipment. Judging from the way the equipment glowed, all of her gold equipment seemed to be enhanced to at least +7. She was rather powerful.
She did not summon the Purple-gold Combat Tiger. Instead, she had a typical Golden-feathered Eagle on her shoulder, which could be dealt with just an arrow.
Li Yi maintained the Camouflage state while he squatted down on the tree. He was staring at Princess Huaiyu as he waited for the rare elite to sp.a.w.n.
As the probability of sp.a.w.ning the Lightning Leopard was 50% instead of 100%, no one was sure what would sp.a.w.n next.
However, he did hope that the next sp.a.w.n was the Lightning Leopard…
Li Yi prayed hard.
Time pa.s.sed, Li Yi did not move an inch whereas Princess Huaiyu had gotten on a horse and wandered for a few rounds.
Li Yi looked at the time. Ever since the Earth-shattering Bull had died, the next rare elite would sp.a.w.n between half an hour to an hour!
The five rare elites that would sp.a.w.n in the Silver Moon Canyon would drop some incredible loot. This place was a must to visit for Archers and Summoners.
This was because all five of the rare elites could be tamed!
There was about 20 minutes left before the next rare elite sp.a.w.ned and another player who was camping for the rare elite had arrived.
He was a Werewolf Archer and he came riding a combat wolf.
The male Werewolf Archer did not hide his name above his head. He was called Unease Without e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n.
Li Yi knew this man, Unease Without e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n. He was also one of the infamous Archers from the Western Continent, similar to Princess Huaiyu. However, his main Path was similar to Li Yi’s, which was the Shooting Path instead of the Pet Path.
“Get lost. I’ve booked the entire area.” The one who spoke was the indifferent Princess Huaiyu.
“Hey miss, are you speaking to me?” Unease Without e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n was stunned. Although they were both Western Continent players, they were not familiar with each other as this was their first encounter.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Golden-feathered Eagle flew towards Unease Without e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n, reached out its talons and clawed his eyes.
This was the flying pet’s Special Skill, Blind!
Although Unease Without e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n had made preparations, however, he did not expect Princess Huaiyu to use this technique. His eyes were clawed and were blinded for 12 seconds.
Princess Huaiyu made her move as she ran to the front of Unease Without e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n. She set up a Frost Trap underneath his leg, pulled her bow and aimed directly at his head.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
A damage combo appeared above Unease Without e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n’s head. He attempted to evade by moving to the side but was unlucky to step onto the Frost Trap.
Princess ran towards his back and used Chain Arrow!
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Unease Without e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n moaned as he fell to the ground after receiving four arrows.
“Don’t ever think that ladies are easy to bully. This is the result for playing dumb.” Princess Huaiyu waved her crossbow in her hand before sitting back down.
[Double Crossbow. Special Skill: Fires two arrow at once while consuming one arrow. When Chain Arrow is used, it can shoot out four arrows.]
“She’s strong!” Li Yi could not help but praise her.
