n“Sir… I’ll take a bottle of Coke!” Sitting on the couch red-eyed in the morning, Ruan Ning had a melancholic expression on her face. The other girls with her looked almost the same.

nThey looked as hopeless as young girls who had just broken up with their boyfriends.

n“My Bi Yao… What a fine girl! How can her life be so pathetic?” Sitting on the couch, she mumbled and then bit into the spicy sticks with vengeance.

n“Sir, is that just a story or something that really happened?” Ruan Ning asked indignantly while she gobbled down the food and snacks.

n“Of course, it’s just a story,” Mr. Fang said blithely while eating instant noodles. Different from the others, he had read the story more than ten years ago, and the plot in the TV Series couldn’t cause such a big emotional stir in him.

n“If it’s just a story, who created it?” The girls gazed at Fang Qi solemnly as if they were considering if they should send a few boxes of knives to the author. “Why did the author give my Bi Yao such a fate?! It’s despicable!”

nThis… hehehe… Mr. Fang thought, I also want to mail the author some knives if I can.

nSince he couldn’t do it before he traveled through space and time, it was certainly even more difficult to do it here.

nFortunately, Mr. Fang never gave people spoilers, so they didn’t know that Bi Yao wouldn’t be resurrected even at the end of the story. Otherwise, these girls would have lost their minds and hacked at Mr. Fang with sabers.

nMeanwhile, in the Nanhua Faction, things had also changed.

n“Master, do you think Xiaofan can resurrect Bi Yao?” A few disciples surrounded the Xichi Spiritual Master.

nUsually, when they had the opportunity to talk to their masters, they would ask some questions about the difficulties that they had encountered during cultivation. But now, things were different.

n“As for that…” Usually, if they asked questions irrelevant to cultivation, they would be reprimanded by the serious Xichi Spiritual Master. But now, she just sighed heavily and said, “Heaven helps good people; you guys don’t have to worry about it.”

n“The orthodox and unorthodox factions and forces in the TV Series look the same to me,” Mo Xian said with a snort.

nBesides people at these two places, the others who had watched the latest episodes of Jade Dynasty were also talking about the development of the plot in other places all over the Morning Star Sea Realm.

nHowever, another group of people in the internet café were trying to put away their melancholy; they were preparing for the battle and thus had no time to feel sad.

n“What do you think? Should we combine our forces?”

n“Do you think that we can beat the forces of Dajin if we are divided?”

nThe big forces of the Morning Star Sea Realm were making plans for the Battle of the Sand City next week. Any individual force was no match for the Royal Clan Guild, not even the alliance of the Yuanheng Pavilion and the Huang Family, who had entered the game the earliest, nor Black Demon and the Coiled Dragon Office.

nThey were now discussing if they should establish an alliance.

nWith the battle drawing near, the high-level members of Dajin’s Royal Family were also busy making strategies to best take over the Sand City.

n…

nLiu Ningyun had been giving Fang Qi the cold shoulder; her pretty eyes looked so chilly, as if Mr. Fang owed her tens of millions of crystals and wasn’t paying back.

nHowever, since she didn’t have the intention to befriend other people in Half City, she only got along with Ruan Ning and her friends.

nIt meant that she had to bear Mr. Fang and see his ‘despicable face’ everyday.

nIn short, if she wanted to stay in the internet café, she had to endure everything and deal with Mr. Fang, even though she had the urge to beat him senseless.

n“Morning!” Fang Qi looked up and saw a figure in white, so he greeted her casually.

n“Morning.” Liu Ningyun poured hot water into a bowl of instant noodles and then sat on the couch close to Ruan Ning while she waited for the instant noodles to be ready.

nThen, she saw a pretty figure sitting down beside her.

nIn fact, the pretty figure sat down beside Mr. Fang. But the couch was only that big, so the distance between her and Liu Ningyun got very close. “It’s great that I can eat instant noodles again!”

nLiu Ningyun suddenly got really nervous for some reason, and her hair had stood up on end.

nIt was a feeling that she had never experienced before. Just imagine the scenario where an angel and a demon were sitting together and eating instant noodles together peacefully; it was what the scene looked like.

n“Little Sister, why are you staring at me?” Ning Bi said with a chuckle, “If you don’t eat, your noodles will get cold.”

n“…”

n“Little Shop Owner.” She lounged on the couch lazily. “I came so early to patronize your shop. Can’t I have an extra bowl of instant noodles?”

nFang Qi drank up the soup in the bowl and said, “Have you seen me eating a second bowl?”

nAre you kidding me? Even I can’t have a second bowl in a day!

n“Stingy!” She wasn’t angry though. After opening the lid of the bowl, she stirred the noodles with a pair of chopsticks. Each of her moves had a unique charm.

nMeanwhile, Fang Qi got up to play games, leaving her his back to look at.

n“…”

nSince everyone else was listless due to the latest episodes of Jade Dynasty, Mr. Fang spent most of his time on playing the King of Fighters himself, trying to clear stage with one token.

nThe three characters he chose was Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, and Chizuru Kagura, the classic team of the three main characters. Although Kyo Kusanagi had obvious shortcomings in the King of Fighters ’97, Fang Qi had to choose him to unlock the fist skills and unique moves in the store.

nAfter getting familiar with the game, Fang Qi’s skills in the King of Fighters had improved greatly. With his smooth moves and plays, Iori Yagami successfully defeated the three enemies in the first team in Story Mode on his own.

nSoon, the second team came up.

n“Is the shop owner playing the King of Fighters again?” Ruan Ning finally figured out what he was doing. “Should we go and watch him play?”

nAfter all, Mr. Fang’s smooth combos and nimble plays were enjoyable to watch.

nRight now, they needed something to distract them from their melancholic thoughts.

n“Is he challenging that so-called Orochi again?” Ning Bi looked interested. In fact, she had never seen Orochi before; she only heard from Mr. Fang words that it was an extremely powerful existence.

nIn the world of King of Fighters, Orochi had existed since the ancient times, and it had been guarding the Earth. It was a spirit without a physical body, and it was manifested through floating emotions and substances of nature. It was called Gaia’s Will (Earth’s Will) and was the chief of the Orochi Clan.

nOrochi and its clan were not gods but one branch out of many ‘Gaia’s Will’. Despite all this, it still possessed horrifying and god-like power!

nIn the King of Fighters World, the fighters could battle with the horrifying existence such as ‘Gaia’s Will’, which interested not only Ning Bi but Liu Ningyun as well.

nThat was why Liu Ningyun ‘reluctantly’ went to Mr. Fang’s Qzone to watch him play, and she had to watch it with a certain demonic woman.
