nOuyang Qian subconsciously moved herself to the side. Judging from her reaction, she also detested the ‘gentleman’ named Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

n“Sister, I didn’t tell Uncle Lin that you’re playing this game. Why are you avoiding me so much? What are you scared of?”

n“Don’t you know?”

n“Why would I ask you if I knew?”

n“Heh heh, heh heh…”

nOuyang Qian squeezed out a smile at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. However, her smile fell immediately afterwards, and she resumed a cold and distant expression.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth sighed. “Sister, you were different back when you were younger. Back then, you were very obedient.”

n“Stop calling me sister, and stop talking to me about my younger days. I have no relation to you.” Ouyang Qian’s face was icy cold. She moved further away from him.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth shrugged helplessly and began to watch Li Yi’s challenge.

nLi Yi had heard everything that was said between Ouyang Qian and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. The more he heard, the happier he became. He stepped and swerved left and right, missing absolutely no spider eggs in his wake. He performed way above his usual standards and dealt with the rest of the spider eggs in one go.

nIf Ouyang Qian and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had behaved in a close and intimate manner that showed that they shared a great relationship, it would be easier for Li Yi to rise to the skies than to outdo himself like how he was doing now.

nHis ability had stemmed from his motivation!

nAll 13,600 spider eggs had hatched. With a low growl, Li Yi jumped out of the forest.

nThe challenge had not yet ended. Now, Li Yi needed to kill all 13,600 spiders by hitting them and survive the process. Only then would he be considered as a player that has cleared this ultimate challenge.

n“Blazing Fields!”

nLi Yi transformed into himself again and mimed drawing a bow and arrow. A phantom Flaming Phoenix appeared above the Orange Bow and opened its mouth. A rush of scorching fire poured out.

nAll 13,600 small spiders were hit by the Flaming Phoenix. The fire was unnatural and it continuously grew stronger. It refused to dissipate even when it fell on the ground and could sustain its flames without any fuel. In a blink of an eye, the entire forest was swallowed by flames…

nNone of the 13,600 small spiders survived the assault. They had all perished under Li Yi’s Blazing Fields.

nOuyang Qian’s mouth fell agape. “Are you a Fire Wizard?”

nIn contrast with Ouyang Qian, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had an uneasy expression. He was not an idiot and was already trying to determine who had ambushed him in the minefield. Now that he had seen the Inextinguishable Flames on the floor, it was clear as day to him that Li Yi was the one behind the ambush.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth smiled at Li Yi and said loudly, “The number 1 Archer of the Invincible Continent truly has a well-deserved reputation. This Blazing Fields is truly powerful, which holds true to my experience.”

nIn his words, it was clearly implied that he had guessed that Li Yi was the one that ambushed him.

nA shiny golden Achievement Panel jumped out. Li Yi collected his level clear rewards.

nObtained achievement ‘Scavenger’. Dungeon progress increased by 10%, skill points 3, STR Seed 2. Obtained the one-of-a-kind Purple Title ‘Pest King’.

nNow, Li Yi’s total dungeon progress was at 66%. With his head held high, he had joined the ranks of the top ten in this dungeon!

nBy challenging the Ultimate Mode in the Spider Egg Forest, he had obtained the one and only title of Pest King. Only one of this title existed in the entire server, and it gave the title-bearer an additional 5% mana. Every player had the opportunity to get the title, but the condition to acquire it was to challenge the record set by the previous holder of the title. Once the record was broken, the title would change its bearer automatically.

nOnce he received the rewards, Li Yi did not even bother with King Fifth’s hint and instead walked towards Ouyang Qian. He asked if she was also interested in challenging the Ultimate Mode.

nOuyang Qian shook her head. “I can never challenge your total time of 2 minutes 57 seconds. Although I’m confident that I could step on and hatch every single egg, I do not have the confidence to kill more than 10 thousand small spiders.”

nWithin the Conquer Instance Dungeon, one could only rely on themselves when it came to killing monsters. This was due to the fact that all damage dealt to the monsters were calculated separately for all players. For instance, if Ouyang Qian helped Li Yi to fight just now, her attack power could definitely kill many of the small spiders. However, Li Yi would never be able to complete the Ultimate Mode of the challenge if that had happened.

nAt that moment, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth approached them. “Haha, it’s not that difficult to challenge the ultimate difficulty. I was thinking to try it out.”

nLi Yi and Ouyang Qian both darted to the side simultaneously. Both of them were startled for a moment before they exchanged a look and a smile.

nMeanwhile, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth looked relaxed and at ease, seemingly unaffected by them. He merely touched the Holy Light Sabre on his back to soothe the awkwardness in his heart.

nHis Sky Splitter was already destroyed by Scumbag Wang. However, he was in a similar situation with Brother Windcloud Nine where both of them were the kind of people who lacked everything else in their lives but money. In a single day, he had already obtained the Holy Light Sabre which was almost the same level as Sky Spitter.

nThe Spider Egg Forest had yet to refresh and was still a complete mess. Ouyang Qian would have to wait for a while if she wanted to challenge the Forest.

n“Sister, how is your dungeon progress? Do you need me to share my progress with you?” Tyrant Sword King the FIfth said.

n“I’m scared that I might not be able to cross it.”

nOuyang Qian did not even glance at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Instead, she did something that gave Li Yi a pleasant surprise. She took Li Yi’s hand.

nThis action was so intimate that it was primarily only done between two lovers. When Tyrant Sword King the FIfth saw that, he froze while an unnatural expression overtook his face.

nOuyang Qian’s hands were smooth and soft as if they were boneless. In his previous life, Li Yi’s favorite thing to do was to grab her hands and chat with her. However, he had never thought that Ouyang Qian would choose this moment to literally pass him her hand.

nBy doing that, what did she mean?

n“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

nLi Yi held onto Ouyang Qian’s hands very tightly. He tickled her palm and caused her to chuckle and smile, but Li Yi could see that her smile was forced at best.

nOuyang Qian pointed at a distant green rock and said, “Let’s go and wait there.”

n“Alright.”

nLi Yi allowed her to pull him along. Then, he let his hands drop naturally to hug her waist.

nOuyang Qian gritted her teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard from her jaw. She then hissed out, “Don’t overdo this, or I’ll explode too!”

n“Oh…”

nLi Yi pretended to look as if realisation just hit him like a truck. His hands finally stopped.

nThis move of his was entirely done so that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could see it. When he discreetly observed King Fifth, Li Yi had seen the expected heaving of the man’s chest that clearly displayed his anger.

nLi Yi asked as he walked. “Do you know him? He called you ‘younger sister’. Are you brother and sister?”

n“We’re not siblings. He’s my… He’s not exactly a good friend of mine, but we knew each other because our fathers are close friends in business. Don’t ask me anything now, I don’t want to talk about it.”

n“Oh, oh.”

nAfter they reached the front of the green rock, Li Yi took Ouyang Qian’s small hands and sat with her, their shoulders touching.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth was still glaring intensely at their direction. It was obvious that their relationship was more than ordinary.

nLi Yi’s mind was filled with thoughts that raged on like waves. He was thinking so hard that he thought that his brain might explode.

nSuddenly, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth barked out a laugh. His expression had recovered, and he looked normal once again. He walked up to them in a few quick strides and said, “Sister, when did you become so intimate with Brother Dark Wing here? According to what I know, Brother Dark Wing’s girlfriend is Invincible Jiaojiao, the Queen of the Invincible Continent, right?”

nOuyang Qian was at a loss for a reply. While she was still thinking of how to answer him, Li Yi had spoken up. “Who said that men could only have one girlfriend? Do you have any problems with me having multiple girlfriends?”

nTyrant Sword King the FIfth was stunned.

n“Hehe, I don’t mind it as long as you treat me well.” Ouyang Qian covered her mouth and giggled.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth still refused to relent. “Does Invincible Jiaojiao know about this?”

n“That’s not your problem! Giddy up!”

nGallop gallop gallop gallop…

nThis time, before Li Yi could answer, a rebuke came from afar. Jiaojiao rode on the Crimson Emperor Warhorse and ran towards them.

nJiaojiao had arrived much earlier. She had been just slightly behind Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Thus, she had heard everything that was said between them.

n“Lil’ Jiao, I…” Ouyang Qian protested awkwardly. She did not even know where should she put the hand that she had just pulled out from Li Yi’s grasp.

nJiaojiao got down from the horse casually and sat on the other side of Li Yi. She then forcefully grabbed onto his hand and wrapped it around her own waist.

n“Is this good enough? One on your left, one on your right. The girl on your left has big boobs and milky white skin, and the girl on your right has long legs and a slim waist. Are you happy now?”

nJiaojiao narrowed her eyes at Li Yi and asked. However, neither Ouyang Qian nor Tyrant Sword King the Fifth has seen how Jiaojiao had one of her hand at the back of Li Yi’s waist, pinching with all her might.

nLi Yi forced out a smile. “It’s quite okay, but I’m still lacking some. If all of them are here, then I’ll feel true happiness.”

n“Hmph!”

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth snorted loudly and glared at Ouyang Qian hard. He proceeded to sit at the side, fuming and in a fit.

nThe atmosphere was quite awkward. Everyone had their mind on their own considerations, and no one talked for a while.

nAfter a long moment, Li Yi’s cough had sliced through the silence. “…The Spider Egg Forest had refreshed. All of you should go on.”

nThe Spider Egg Forest, which was previously baptised with the Inextinguishable Flames, had recovered to its original state. All 13,600 spider eggs had respawned.

nOuyang Qian was the first to start. What she did was simple; she had sprinted out of the forest after stepping on approximately twenty spider eggs.

nWith Fire Wall and Meteor Volcano, Ouyang Qian had easily dealt with the small spiders and cleared the challenge.

n“I’ll log out now. Darling, I’ll cook for you.”

nWhen it was Jiaojiao’s turn, she held Li Yi’s face and lightly ‘kissed’ him. The ‘kiss’ lasted until a row of deep teeth marks were seen on him. After Jiaojiao was satisfied, she waved and went offline.

n“Lil’ Jiao must’ve gotten angry. Sorry that I dragged you into this mess.” Ouyang Qian was very embarrassed and had sneakily sent Li Yi a private message.

n“If that’s the case, you must take responsibility for your actions…”

n“What do you mean ‘take responsibility’?”

n“If Lil’ Jiao were to break up with me, I won’t have a girlfriend anymore. So, you must take responsibility for that!”

n“Haha, haha…”

nOuyang Qian had a habit of using her laugh to conceal herself and get past questions that she felt were uncomfortable to answer.

nLi Yi pointed towards the east and said, “There’s a shooting ground nearby. Have you completed your progress there?”

nOuyang Qian shook her head. “I haven’t.”

nLi Yi said, “Do you want to do it together?”

n“Alright.”

nBoth of them shared a look and climbed on their respective horses. Then they rushed towards the east.

nAt that moment, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had just entered the Spider Egg Forest. When he saw that the two of them had left, or more specifically, that Qian’er had climbed on her horse and left, he had become quite anxious. He quickly backed out from the forest and killed the small spiders before summoning the Black Beetle mount to chase after them.

nIt seemed like he had made up his mind to never give up on the chase.
