Chapter 1313: One Precious Box of DLS

Translator: alyschu

Due to all the excitement during the day, I decided to stay at Snowy Cathaya’s workshop and accompany Lin Yixin one more night. When Nangong Lexi logged out of the game, she reported with a bright smile on her face, "We did it. Bronze City is basically ours. It is filled with Snowy Cathaya, Blazing Hot Lips and The Monarch Descends players, and none of our enemies possess the strength to challenge us. All we need to do now is to wait for 48 hours to pass. The City Lord Token is currently in Purple Marquis’s possession, so feel free to claim it from him when you go online."

Lin Yixin nodded approvingly. "Well done. I’ll log back into the game tomorrow morning."

"Okay!"

I was using a borrowed notebook and browsing the official website beside Lin Yixin. As expected, the flames of war were burning all across the four Cities of Heaven. The contest for Gold City and Silver City was the fiercest of them all because the two cities gave permanent buffs.

Gold City was currently contested by Candle Dragon, Warsky Alliance, Purgatory Mad Dragon, Purple Lily, Peach Garden, Rose of the Holy Domain, a dozen more big guilds and 400+ small guilds. It had been ten hours since the battle began, and still no one looked to be the clear victor. Warsky was currently holding the City Lord Token, but it didn’t look like the possession would last because Candlelight Shadow and his Divine Generals had slain Lin Bing Dou Zhe and Laughing At The Heavens and Little Piglet had slain October Rain. It was worth noting Purgatory Mad Dragon had such a huge army that even Warsky Alliance and Candle Dragon were just about to lose their minds. Long story short, it was a battle that would draw a river of blood.

At Silver City, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls currently held the upper hand. There was a KIA list on the website, and it stated—

Yamete (KIA) — Song of Ice and Fire (Killer)

Hot Sun (KIA) — Song of Ice and Fire (Killer)

Song of Ice and Fire (KIA) — Li Chengfeng (Killer)

Amazing Expert (KIA) — God Bone (Killer)

Moon Dew (KIA) — Ringwraith (Killer)

Ringwraith, God Bone (KIA) — Beiming Xue (Killer)

……

I saw countless familiar faces among the KIA. Song of Ice and Fire was able to kill an incredible amount of Ancient Sword experts, but Li Chengfeng was able to end his killing streak in the end. In fact, it looked like Soul Battle Robes had more or less run out of super-tier experts. One of the most important factors in a contest like this was the strength of the key item owner. As long as Li Chengfeng and He Yi remained alive, no one should be able to snatch the City Lord Token from us.

"Shame…" I let out a quiet sigh.

Lin Yixin asked, "Shame, what?"

"It’s a shame it’s forbidden to occupy two Cities of Heaven at once, or I could leave Silver City to Eve and Li Chengfeng and attack Gold City with Beiming Xue, Lian Xin and Gui Guzi myself. How cool would it be to claim the first and the second best Cities of Heaven for ourselves?"

"Yeah, that ain’t going to happen. Candlelight Shadow, Warsky, Farewell Song, Moonkiss, Luo River God of the Capital, Indigo Collar and more will rather fight to the last person than let you succeed. It may be cool to monopolize everything, but it will surely come at a price. You should pick a page from Snowy Cathaya. No one except us is seriously trying to occupy Bronze City even though Dragon Punisher Archer skill is so OP…"

"Actually, Heart of the Holy Mages is really the best skill of them all. This skill makes it impossible for any cavalry to survive Galaxy Storm + God Devil Break combo in positional warfare…"

Nangong Lexi blinked before throwing in a comment, "I don’t know about that. I think that Candle Dragon is the overall winner if they manage to seize Gold City and train a bunch of Gold Cavalrymen. When that happens, the Dragonlight Cavalry won’t be the strongest cavalry in the Center anymore…"

I chuckled. "Since when was our mount the deciding factor of our cavalry strength? Our cavalry is the strongest cavalry in the world because we have Gui Guzi’s Knight God and Heaven’s Rain, Diamond Dust and Hickey’s Knight General. These are all advantages that Candle Dragon does not possess. Plus, Candle Dragon can only train so many Gold Cavalry per day, while Our Duplicate Mount does not have such restrictions. This is not something Candle Dragon can compete with."

"Sure, but I feel like there’s more bark than bite in your argument…"

"Hmph hmph, we’ll see about that!"

……

Again, Lin Yixin and I were sharing a room. I sat comfortably on the sofa with Lin Yixin snuggled against me. She was massaging my arm and ripping away my old bandage—it had become useless after being soaked in warm water for too long—when she exclaimed in surprise, "OMG, over half of your wounds look as good as new already! You’re like the real life version of King Piccolo the Namekian…"

I gave her a forceful kiss on the cheek. "That’s wonderful to hear. I wonder if I can actually regenerate an arm if I lose it?"

"Heehee, maybe?"

While holding her, I asked thoughtfully, "Did the experts say if they can flush the virus from my body completely when you were donating the serum, Yiyi? I haven’t turned into Iron Man, have I?"

Lin Yixin snorted before slapping my arm playfully. "What kind of logic is that? Stark is a normal human, so even if you become superpowered there is zero similarity between you and him, not to mention that you are anything but a rich-tall-handsome…"

Me: "…"

It was at this moment Sun Qingqing knocked on the bedroom door and called, "Can I come in, Yiyi?"

"Sure!"

"Okay!"

Sun Qingqing walked in with a plastic bag of snacks. She said smilingly, "I just came to bring you both some gelatin dessert and stuff to eat in case you got tired of each other’s lips. I’m going back online now. Oh, and remember to use protection~~"

"Eat a pillow!" Lin Yixin was already throwing a pillow at her best friend.

Sun Qingqing giggled like a schoolgirl while dodging out of the room.

After Sun Qingqing left, I checked the contents of the plastic bag before passing it to Lin Yixin. "Man, you girls sure like your snacks. Sis also eats all day and night at the workshop. Well, eat away. And don’t worry if you get fat, Yiyi. It just means I’ll have more to grab…"

Lin Yixin shot me a death glare. "Why do you feel the need to say that? Is it because you’re exactly the type who’d ditch his girlfriend after she became fat?"

"How did you even arrive at that conclusion? Trust me, I really don’t mind…"

"Fine, fine…"

Lin Yixin was choosing her first snack of the night when she suddenly shuddered from head to toe. I could see her eyes widening in shock and her face flushing red in an instant.

As it turned out, snacks weren’t the only thing Sun Qingqing had brought us tonight. She had brought a box of DLS as well! She actually wasn’t kidding when she told us to use protection! Truly, Sun Qingqing was Lin Yixin’s best friend!

I shook my head at the petrified beauty in my lap before shoving the box of DLS into my pocket. Then, I said, "Since we won’t be needing this yet, I guess I’ll take this with me. You probably don’t want to decorate your room with condoms anyway. It’d be a bad look. Why the heck does Qingqing have this though? She hasn’t used it, has she? Now that I think about it, does she even have a boyfriend?"

Lin Yixin mumbled, "Well… she did mention that she’s dating the school grass about a week ago, but… there’s no way they got that far already. As far as I know, Qingqing’s a pretty conservative girl. There’s just no way…"

I side-eyed her. "I wouldn’t be so sure. Maybe she only ever showed you her good side. Maybe she had a goo goo ga ga already, and you still have no idea to this day!"

Lin Yixin shot me a glare. "Hmph!"

Then, she stretched out her hand and said, "Gimme that!"

"Give you what?" My brain couldn’t catch up to the sudden action.

"What else? Qingqing gave it to me, not you…"

I shrugged and passed the DLS box with red packaging back to Lin Yixin. "Sure, but what the heck do you want to do with it?"

Lin Yixin pursed her lips and stared at me as if she wanted to say something. A few seconds later, she finally confessed, "You told me you’ll take me a year later, right? We’ll use it when that day arrives. Until then, I’ll keep it in my handbag."

Me: "…"

Lin Yixin added, "Also, this is the perfect tool to ward off Owen. Dad thinks he can force Owen on me? He can watch as I scare the sh*t out of Owen with this!"

𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

I solemnly wrapped my arms around her and said, "Yiyi, you truly are the perfect wife. Now let me hold you for a minute…"

"I have a backache right now!"

"Lie down then. I’ll massage it for you…"

Lin Yixin obediently lay on top of my legs so I could massage her amazing waist. Naturally, I tried to take it further and move my sinful hands to her chest—scratch that, I already did. She abruptly stopped what she was doing and stared at me expressionlessly, "Thank you, but I don’t have a problem with my bust size…"

I replied, "So? It’s free service anyway!"

"Oh? So you’re saying that I’m the one who’s benefiting here?"

"Of course!"

"Alright then. Continue…"

"…"

……

It wasn’t long before we grew tired, so we went to bed together. Lin Yixin looked like the prettiest kitten in the world as she snuggled up to me in her pyjamas. Normally, I would have tried to afford her some modicum of plausible deniability, but literally everyone in the workshop thought that Lin Yixin and I had done it already. More importantly, Lin Yixin didn’t care if they misunderstood, so why would I be afraid to snuggle with my girlfriend?

The night passed quickly, and I woke up to the first rays of dawn.

"Ah…"

I let out a soft sigh and turned to stare at the growing edges of the sun for a moment. Then, I shook Lin Yixin gently and said, "It’s time to wake up, dear. I need to return to the workshop and show my face in the game, or people will start wondering if I’m growing too big a head. There are also insane rumors on the forums claiming that the reason we haven’t participated in the war for the Cities of Heaven was because we’ve eloped or something…"

Lin Yixin rubbed her sleepy eyes and chuckled. "You want to make that rumor a reality? I don’t mind…"

"Come now…"

"Alright, I’m getting up. Eat breakfast with me before I return to my duties, okay?"

"Of course!"

……

The sun grew brighter, and we enjoyed breakfast in the garden of the villa. A wave of tranquility washed over me as I held a glass of hot milk and watched some old people performing their morning exercises. I suggested with a smile, "I want us to live life like a normal couple when we retire, Yiyi. Do you want to travel to Frog Hills and Guilin after everything is over?"

Lin Yixin was wearing a mini skirt, and it matched the beaming smile on her face perfectly. "It’s a promise! You’re not allowed to go back on it!"

"Of course. Anyway, I’m going back now. Are you going to drive me, or…?"

"You’re so hopeless. Fine. I don’t normally drive when I’m wearing a skirt, but I suppose I can make an exception this once."

"Of course you can. Why wouldn’t you want me to caress your thighs and steady your driving?"

"Shameless!"

A while later, the Porsche drove out of the district and vanished into the bustling city. Life must go on, and we must work harder in order to grasp that wonderful dream in the future!
