Chapter 330: Aristocracy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What do I do?”
“Run!”
“Where to…” Jiaojiao was in a daze.
“Stick to the wall!”
Under Li Yi’s guidance, Jiaojiao ran to a corner and faced her b.u.t.t against the wall while swinging her sword wildly. This way, even if the number of ghouls doubled, the damage she would sustain would still be the same.
Using Mortal Strike to recover HP, Jiaojiao was lucky to have consecutive Critical Hits, doubling the HP absorbed to survive the two batches of ghouls in the nick of time.
The one-on-one battle with Ca.s.sius was easy as long as antic.i.p.ation and prevention were made in advance on the skills he was about to use.
Jiaojiao wielded her Rune Greatsword and took down Ca.s.sius with ease, ultimately completing the cla.s.s change quest.
Ca.s.sius’ corpse was emitting black smoke and soon it evaporated altogether, leaving behind a black-colored helmet and horse head.
Jiaojiao went up to pick them up. Her avatar then changed. She was forcefully teleported out.
Her Black Paladin Novice Equipment Set was now complete. To top it all off, she obtained a cla.s.s battle mount — Dark Charger!
[Dark Warhorse (Gold quality)]
[SPD on land: 160%]
[Special pa.s.sive skill: This Undead Warhorse disregards all abnormal states and forever serves its master with loyalty.]
“That was hard…”
Exclaimed Jiaojiao after taking off her goggles.
“Take a break. I’ll take you to level up in a bit.”
With the Black Paladin cla.s.s job successful, her level reverted back to 1. However, grinding levels was a lot faster now due to high attributes as well as lack of level restrictions of the Black Paladin Novice Equipment Set (could be worn up to Level 80).
“Alright!”
“We’re done here, right? I’ll head back then,” Li Yi took his leave.
“Why don’t you stay longer? I’ll buy some groceries. You should stay for a meal before leaving,” Xie Qin persuaded Li Yi to stay.
“No need to trouble yourself, Aunty Qin. There’s really no need…”
Li Yi’s mouth said “no” but he sat his a.s.s down. This won him an angry glare from Jiaojiao.
“Your mum’s home. I have no other intentions,” Li Yi conveyed the message to Jiaojiao with his eyes.
“Jiaojiao, keep Lil Yi company. I’m heading off to buy some groceries,”
Xie Qin grabbed her handbag and headed off.
“Mother, I’m coming with…”
Jiaojiao ran over.
“Lil Yi’s the guest. How can you leave him at home by himself? What did I teach you, dear daughter?”
“I… He… No… I…” Jiaojiao was so fl.u.s.tered, her tongue was in a knot.
Xie Qin left the building with Jiaojiao standing at the door, frozen stiff.
When Jiaojiao returned to the living room, she found Li Yi browsing the web with great interest.
Jiaojiao was fuming after taking one glance. Li Yi was browsing a… p.o.r.nographic website!
“Perverted Wing!”
Jiaojiao shouted out loud, charging forward to give him a chopping strike.
She went through martial arts training so she struck with accuracy and without hesitation, aiming right at Li Yi’s neck.
But she did not put in much force, holding back when she saw Li Yi was not dodging.
“Perv! Dating multiple girls isn’t enough for you? You still need to get off on a p.o.r.n site?” Jiaojiao got into a stance and spat.
“Oh please, this is your home. I just turned on the computer and this website came on.”
Li Yi’s words stunned Jiaojiao. Her face then flushed red.
“Thanks, Jiaojiao. I really couldn’t tell you had such a hobby, tsk tsk,” Li Yi intentionally drew out the last few words. Jiaojiao covered her face in shame.
Jiaojiao snorted, “It’s a pop-up virus. I told you before, I don’t know why this pops up when I turn on the computer.”
“Oh~ I see,” Li Yi sounded like he understood but his face was indicated his disbelief.
“Humph! So what if I watched p.o.r.n? It’s none of your business,” Jiaojiao was furious.
Li Yi grabbed his chin, “None of my business? But if Aunty Qin were to find out, I wonder what she’ll think about this?”
“Don’t you dare!”
Li Yi nodded.
“Aw c’mon, Perverted Wing. I was just curious~”
Jiaojiao grabbed ahold of Li Yi’s hand, dangling it about. Li Yi stared at the sight.
Jiaojiao, acting all cute? Er, it was his first time seeing this.
“My shoulder’s a little sore.”
“Let me!”
Jiaojiao immediately took action to ma.s.sage his shoulders.
“There’s an itch down below…”
“Scram!”
“Bp bp bp bp!”
Jiaojiao was chopping Li Yi’s shoulder with her hands. She was really ma.s.saging Li Yi’s shoulders at the beginning but she grew vengeful and began to apply more force, kneading Li Yi to the point of tears.
“Hahahaha, watch me! Earth-shattering move!”
Jiaojiao placed her hands on Li Yi’s head, shaking it to and fro…
She went nuts…
“Let me go, this is not your home. Get out!”
Jiaojiao was absorbed with the ma.s.sage of pain when Xie Qin’s angry voice could be heard from the door.
“Lil Qin, let me explain myself. Something must have gotten to my head, I’m only filled with regret now. Please give me a chance…”
Jiaojiao and Li Yi were momentarily stunned but before they could make their way out, Xie Qin entered the house with groceries. Behind her, was a fat middle-aged man with a beer belly. He was Jiaojiao’s father.
“Get out, this is not your home!” Jiaojiao ran forward in an attempt to push this man out.
“Lil Jiao, what are you doing? I’m your father!” The middle-aged man was angered.
“Get out, you’re no longer my father since the day you abandoned us.”
Jiaojiao had a more fiery temper than her mother, she was dead set on kicking him out.
The middle-aged man was so overcome with fury that he whipped his hand out and gave her a tight slap.
“Worthless daughter!”
Jiaojiao covered her face as she breathed out the words through her teeth, “Are you done laying your hands on me? If you’re done, you can get out!”
“I have some matter to talk to your mother with. Don’t you b.u.t.t in!”
The middle-aged man shoved Jiaojiao away. It was then he caught sight of Li Yi and his face darkened.
“Who is this?” The middle-aged man pointed at Li Yi while questioning in an unfriendly manner.
“My boyfriend!” Jiaojiao answered before Li Yi could.
“Boyfriend? And how old are you? Not even 18 and you have a boyfriend?” The middle-aged man was furious. He stuck his finger at Li Yi and reprimanded him, “I don’t care who you are. Leave now! If I see you again, you can bet your a.s.s I’ll break your legs!”
“The one who should leave is you, not him!” Jiaojiao was not one to back down. She yelled at the man at the top of her voice.
The middle-aged man stomped his foot, “What a rebel. Lil Qin, is this the daughter you taught? Yet you’re a teacher. How… disappointing.”
Li Yi responded only with a smile in the face of the middle-aged man’s verbal abuse. He did not say a single word. Instead, he patted Jiaojiao in a gesture of support.
“Lil Qin, this boy looks like a thug. He’s obviously not a good person. How can you let Lil Jiao go out with him?”
“She can befriend anybody she likes. Brother Tian, I’m calling your Brother Tian out of respect, please leave. The day you signed the papers is the day we severed ties with one another,”
Xie Qin sat on the sofa. Tears were streaming down her face.
“I really regret my actions now. I want to change, please give me a chance, Lil Qin,”
The middle-aged man grabbed onto Xie Qin’s hand. She quivered but did not pull away.
They were married for more than ten years. The middle-aged man was familiar with Xie Qin’s character.
A sense of delight flashed through the middle-aged man’s face, seeing Xie Qin’s lack of attempt to break away from his grasp. He took the opportunity to sit next to her.
“Why are you still here?” The middle-aged man still had his finger pointed at Li Yi.
Li Yi asked in a low voice, “Jiaojiao, maybe should I head back?”
“Don’t you dare! Your father’s b.a.l.l.s. Are you even a man?” Jiaojiao glared at Li Yi bitterly.
“Of course I am a man.”
“Then what are you afraid of? ‘fraidy cat!”
Li Yi just wanted to roll his eyes at Jiaojiao. Would he be afraid of a middle-aged man? Certainly not. However, this man was Jiaojiao’s biological father. What could he do about the situation? Beat him up?
Not that he could…
“Lil Qin, I came here for a few things. First is to reunite with you and second…”
Xie Qin then leaned towards the middle-aged man, allowing him to extend his arm around her.
“Brother Tian, you… You’re not lying to me, right?”
The middle-aged man jumped to respond, “Of course not. When did I ever? I swear that my feelings for you and Jiaojiao are true!”
“You have been lying to my mother from the beginning of the marriage until now!” Jiaojiao was blunt.
The middle-aged man ignored her and continued talking to Xie Qin, “Well, there is one more thing, apart from visiting you and Jiaojiao today.”
“What is it? Are we remarrying?” Xie Qin was overjoyed.
The man waved his arm, “Cough, remarrying is not a current option. It’s about Jiaojiao.”
“Jiaojiao?” Xie Qin’s face fell.
“Yes, hahaha, an old friend is interested in our Jiaojiao. He wants to match Jiaojiao with his son,” The middle-aged man took out a photo and handed it to Xie Qin.
Xie Qin had not even caught a glimpse when Jiaojiao s.n.a.t.c.hed it over. Li Yi too came closer for a look.
One look and the duo froze before bursting into laughter…
The middle-aged man coldly snorted, “What are you laughing at? Young Master w.a.n.g may have an unorthodox appearance but his family background is outstanding. His mother owns a restaurant in Nanning worth millions. His father’s the Deputy Chief of the Public Security Bureau. Word has it that he’s going to be promoted soon. It’s your luck if you can marry into that family.”
“Sorry, I. Don’t. Need. This. Sort. Of. Luck!”
Still disregarding Jiaojiao, the middle-aged man held Xie Qin’s hand while tugging some sentimental strings, “Lil Qin, don’t you want Lil Jiao to live a better life?”
Xie Qin trembled, “Brother Tian, isn’t your current position good enough? When will you be satisfied? Why must you drag Lil Jiao into this?”
“What do you mean drag? Lil Qin, that’s not a nice thing to say. The w.a.n.g family are aristocrats. What are we? She’ll live happily ever after if she marries him.”
Xie Qin’s face stiffened. She gently pushed away from the man, “I heard that you’re trying to get in the Public Safety Bureau and have been looking for loopholes.”
The middle-aged man’s face went red, “Cough… It’s all about Lil Jiao’s happiness. My matters are not important.”
Xie Qin turned her face away and wailed, completely ignoring the man. He fumbled awkwardly until he noticed Li Yi, an easy target to take his anger out on. He stuck his finger up at Li Yi’s nose, “Didn’t you hear me when I told you to scram? Don’t want to? Well, you forced me to this even though I asked you nicely!”
He whipped out his phone and about three minutes later, five policemen barged in.
“Handcuff this rapist here!”
The middle-aged man pointed at Li Yi.
The five policemen barged forward.
