Chapter 40: Innocent Online Game Master (Part 16)

Because the other party was Feng Qing, Yu Chu didn’t notice anything amiss with his eagerness and willingness to help. She typed quickly in response.

In the private chat, Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow said, ‘I’m improving on my forging skills. I need beast skins and iron ore.’

The other party replied with only a word.

In the private chat, S typed, ‘Sure.’

The dazzling phoenix appeared once more and the legendary warrior climbed atop the phoenix smoothly. Then, the young man’s long fingers paused on the keyboard for a moment before he sent a ride invitation to the girl. He then stared quietly at the elf on the screen.

She agreed swiftly.

Thus, the warrior took the little elf in his arms and she held onto the man’s shoulders. The man put a hand on the elf’s slender waist and they looked strangely compatible.

Su Yanbai squinted his eyes slightly.

He had had this phoenix for a long time and he hadn’t tried sharing his mount with someone else. He stared at the screen where the elf was nestling against the warrior. Seeing his roommate with the girl earlier that afternoon had bothered him. Finally, some sort of a magical power had pacified him.

He didn’t notice that he was smiling, his tiny dimples appearing on the sides of his cheeks. The expression in his eyes was impassive.

…

After the phoenix flew away, the two forgotten girls finally retracted their shocked gazes. They then glanced at each other. So the revered Master hadn’t known that elf?

S’s last words of ‘Add me’ still lingered on the screen. The words may have sounded casual, but they carried a sense of authority that dared anyone to reject the offer. However, the words weren’t directed at them.

The two of them hadn’t even added each other as friends before meeting. They definitely didn’t know each other. So the question was, why would the aloof S help the elf?

Lin Xinxin bit her lips and for some indescribable reason, she felt as furious and sullen as though someone had stolen something that belonged to her. And she had been totally ignored by S in the presence of her friend, Li Rong. It were as though she had been cruelly cast aside and it made her face burn in anger. Out of pride, she bit her lips as she swiftly told Li Rong.

In the private chat, Hera’s Apple typed, ‘I shall not talk anymore. My master is looking for me. I need to go.’

A Boat As Light As a Leaf certainly didn’t look for her.

However, if Lin Xinxin were to display her relationship with another master or expert at this time, it would salvage her pride a little and make her feel better.

She exited the private chat and glanced at her list of friends. She found her master, A Boat As Light As a Leaf’s picture and stared at it.

He was online, yet he didn’t take the initiative to contact her. He was obviously uninterested in her.

She couldn’t help but bite her lips once more. Her gaze trailed to another name and her expression relaxed.

She started a private chat with him.

In the private chat, Hera’s Apple typed, ‘Are you there? I have a level that I can’t beat. Can we do it together?’

The person replied almost instantly. She could sense his joy and excitement even through the screen.

In the private chat, A Setting Sun In a Long River typed, ‘Sure! Where are you? I’ll be there right away.’

His eagerness comforted Lin Xinxin a little. Her expression wasn’t rigid or solemn anymore.

However, when she recalled what A Setting Sun In a Long River looked like, contempt and disdain flashed in her eyes.

Even if he were a top university student in the capital city like her, his style and fashion, his bad habits of drinking and smoking… all portrayed him as a lowly hooligan.

If it weren’t for his dog-like eager attitude she wouldn’t have bothered with him.
