Chapter 645: Video Exposé
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yi had worked with Brother Windcloud Nine in quite a few dungeons and he remembered Brother Windcloud Nine mentioning a couple of times that he never put on a headset controller. He must have the Nourishment Chamber if he was playing.
Did he travel with his Nourishment Chamber?
Sister Windcloud Nine was dumbstruck for a while but joy quickly filled her face. She immediately sent Brother Windcloud Nine a private message.
“My husband… just returned from business.”
Li Yi was relieved, “Oh…”
“The Ninth Continent’s Queen and Invincible Continent’s Military Advisor. Tsk tsk, what an ideal match…”
Bai Xiaoya may be lying on the ground, but that did not stop her from running her mouth. Her insults and ridicules in sarcastic tones really left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.
“My husband’s calling me. I’ll be leaving first.”
A channeling bar appeared above Sister Windcloud Nine’s head. As the Ninth Continent’s Queen, like Jiaojiao, she possessed the authority to return to her nation any given time.
“Oh, right!”
Sister Windcloud Nine suddenly halted her action and ran towards Li Yi, “Call your little robot out.”
Upon Li Yi releasing his personal robot, Sister Windcloud Nine fiddled for a bit before retrieving a set of black body armor to hand to Li Yi.
“Dark Paladin’s Level 100 Equipment Set!”
Li Yi knew his stuff and could recognize this equipment set in a single glance.
The Dark Paladin cla.s.s had high HP and DEF as well as well-rounded skills. The only flaw was its close to unattainable equipment. Jiaojiao had long reached Level 100 yet was not able to get her hands on a Level 100 cla.s.s equipment set.
With such a low drop rate, there was a major shortage of supply. Attaining a single item was doable but a whole set was a different story.
“My husband and I got it when we were in the Secret Place. It’s a gift to Jiaojiao.”
At the wave of Sister Windcloud Nine’s arm, her body disappeared into thin air.
Li Yi was stunned, unable to process what had happened.
In view of value, the three items dropped by Sister Windcloud Nine were worth nothing compared to this Dark Paladin equipment set. Li Yi knew Sister Windcloud Nine very well. The girl may be a little dumb, but she never took any items to heart.
When they were clearing dungeons, she would roll when it was time to roll but cheer others on when she was not allowed to roll. She was never seen being envious nor getting riled up. Why would a natural dummy with seemingly no desire give up her dignity for three items?
If the reason was because these items were from her husband, then Li Yi found it even harder to comprehend. Brother Windcloud Nine was a generous man. The number of times he gave gifts were literally uncountable.
If the equipment was gone, she could simply buy or receive another. Was there a need to stoop this low?
Li Yi still could not wrap his head around it so, at the sight of Brother Windcloud Nine’s icon blinking, he sent a message, “Brother Nine, are you back from business?”
Brother Windcloud Nine was quick to reply, “Back from business? When did I leave for business? I’ve been home.”
Li Yi was in shock.
Brother Windcloud Nine had not travelled for business? Why did Sister Windcloud Nine said he was then? What was this couple up to…?
“Guild Master Dark Wing, take a look at the forums. You’re famous again.”
Bai Xiaoya who was lying on the ground laughed out with glee as her body faded away. She chose temple resurrection to flee.
Forums?
Tuning in to the forums, Li Yi caught sight of Bai Xiaoya’s personally directed video.
The part where Sister Windcloud Nine clung onto him upon falling was edited out and put in a loop, making them seem like a sweet couple. The scene of Sister Windcloud Nine on all fours making rounds was cropped but the part where she lifted her a.s.s in front of Li Yi was replayed endlessly…
The video’s headline, “Shocking reveal! The Ninth Continent’s Queen and Invincible Continent’s Military Advisor’s untold secret”
The video had only been published 10 minutes ago yet the click rate has reached over a million…
“Hehe… Hehe…”
Li Yi gritted his teeth and curled his lips into a smirk. He regained his cool even though he was just made a fool. It was in his nature. In the past life, the more people threw shade at him, the more he retaliated!
Bai Xiaoya’s deed and conduct had far crossed the line.
Ding!
[Bai Xiaoya has sent you a friend request.]
Li Yi sneered and clicked on accept.
“Guild Master Dark Wing, what do you think after watching the video?” Bai Xiaoya’s fluctuating tone revealed how proud she was with herself.
“I’d rather if you only had a toxic mouth, I didn’t think you had quite the talent in framing others.”
Bai Xiaoya’s speech pattern changed. She snorted, “I’m only trying to crush our enemy, is that wrong?”
This sentence did not seem to be directed at Li Yi; it was more likely directed to Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
Li Yi could not be closer to the truth. While Bai Xiaoya and Li Yi were conversing in private, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, upon seeing the video, ordered her to delete them and publish an apology.
Bai Xiaoya would not give in, “I’m not wrong. I won’t publish. I did it for the Fluttering Snow Alliance!”
Li Yi ticked on Bai Xiaoya’s name, temporarily blocking her. He felt there was nothing more that could be said to her. Her deeds and conduct had long past his limit.
No matter the reason, her actions were unforgivable.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut sent a private message to him, “I’ve told her to delete the videos, I’m sorry.”
Li Yi replied, “Nevermind.”
“Bai Xiaoya, I’m gonna f*ck your mother!”
In world channel, Brother Windcloud Nine was on a verbal rampage.
Brother Windcloud Nine received first-hand news the moment the videos. .h.i.t the forums.
“Brother, you don’t need to explain yourself. I trust you.”
Just as Brother Windcloud Nine launched a verbal war in world, he sent a private message to Li Yi.
Feeling relieved, Li Yi sent the complete video he recorded to Brother Nine. Regardless, he still needed to know the truth.
Brother Windcloud Nine did not say anything upon receipt of the video. Instead, he went mad spamming world with curses. He even recruited men in preparation for a city-wide ma.s.sacre.
Li Yi discussed with Brother Windcloud Nine and after obtaining his approval, Li Yi released the complete video on the forums.
The whole truth had to be disclosed or else people with one side of the truth would fabricate worse rumors. Li Yi was not bothered by the rumors but what about Sister Windcloud Nine and Brother Windcloud Nine? What about other players in the dark of the truth?
The course of Sister Windcloud Nine reclaiming her equipment, including Li Yi and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s battle was in full display and it shook Pantheon World.
“Territory, f*ck me, so this is Territory!”
“F*ck, that many Territories! How did they acquire?”
“F*ck me! Why don’t I know Territory?”
“I’m p.i.s.sed. Bai Xiaoya, you little b*tch. How dare you play our Sister Nine like that? I’m gonna f*ck the s.h.i.+t out of your mouth!”
“Bai Xiaoya, you motherf*cker!”
Chaos, chaos. Total chaos.
Bai Xiaoya’s actions were too despicable. Come to think about it, if even Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut disapproved of her doing, who would offer support?
She had made her bed and was now laying on it. She had reaped what she has sown.
Li Yi was originally worried the release of the video would cause many to look down upon Sister Windcloud Nine. He was wrong. The comments were a landslide leaning towards Sister Windcloud Nine, without anyone pointing fingers at her for being an embarra.s.sment.
“Sister Nine being servile for equipment? F*ck that s.h.i.+t. She never asked for any equipment whenever we clear dungeons together. She even gave me materials when we’re done clearing. Bai Xiaoya, you have crossed the line!”
“I can guarantee Sister Nine’s character. Is my mount worth anything? A Purple Heavenly Warhorse. Sister Nine rolled and got it but because I said I wanted it; she immediately gave it to me!”
“You’re motherf*cking awful!”
The world channel was a total rat’s nest. At first, it was only Brother Windcloud Nine spamming. Then came tens of thousands cussing at the top of their lungs. The recipient of their fury — Bai Xiaoya.
Without the need to a.s.semble men, King of Pantheon’s fastest city-wide ma.s.sacre in history occurred. In a short span of 30 minutes, three major cities under the control of the Fluttering Snow Alliance were destroyed.
Brother Windcloud Nine led his troops straight in to crush Bai Xiaoya’s major city. Meeting with only minor resistance, his troops continued to build in numbers…
The moral of this story was to never anger the general public. It wasn’t just Bai Xiaoya, Li Yi once found himself in the same spot, defenseless against verbal abuse and ganks.
The incident resulted in the destruction of all the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s major cities. Alliance Leader Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut remained silent and stayed out of the public’s eye. In the end, all three subsidiary Guild Masters were killed to the point they could not stand up.
The Fluttering Snow Alliance was not without the ability to retaliate but was one person’s offense worth having all members saving her a.s.s?
Surely it was not…
Many Fluttering Snow Alliance members were unable to bring themselves to fight for this cause…
Bai Xiaoya was ganked. The general public was a force to be reckoned with. She was discovered in the Southern Continent where a group of thousand red-eyed Sister Windcloud Nine fans pursued after her…
The highest compliment to a person who framed others was not dropping her equipment but to inflict fear from inside out!
Throughout the whole incident, Li Yi only published the complete video. He did not partic.i.p.ate in the aftermath. Queen Jiao extended an invitation to him to join a city-wide ma.s.sacre, but he rejected with the excuse of being occupied with quests…
He would not join the bandwagon for this sort of matter, but he definitely would not let Bai Xiaoya off the hook. At the end of the day, she surpa.s.sed his limits, so he would never forgive her.
Dropping her sense of superiority, Bai Xiaoya was forced to issue a public apology. Her apology was not well received as it was thought to be pretentious, further ruining her reputation.
What was the point apologizing now? It was too late, far too late!
Li Yi still did not know if Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was successful in defeating the Wicked Flaming Dragon that day. The Flaming Dragon Lair’s gate was locked tight and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut did not appear despite a five-hour wait.
On the third day after Bai Xiaoya’s incident, Brother Windcloud Nine sent Li Yi a message asking for help killing the Wicked Flaming Dragon.
“The Wicked Flaming Dragon’s too vicious. The more people in the party, the more powerful its ATK. I tried a few times with a party, but they all failed. I thought about it and I think only you can help me.”
“No problem!”
Li Yi did not hesitate to agree to it. Putting off his quest, he rode on Onyxia and was headed towards the Flaming Dragon Lair.
Before the Flaming Dragon Lair, Li Yi encountered Brother Windcloud Nine and Sister Windcloud Nine.
“Defeat the Fire Dragon Sword, Sword’s Ultimate State!”
Brother Windcloud Nine utilized a Flame Dragon Key.
Ye tch tch tch tch. The gate to the Flaming Dragon Lair slowly spread open…
…
