Seeing Ding Xiaolan’s expression, Yang Qizhou immediately understood her mischievous intentions.
"Don’t look at me with those pitiful, cute-child eyes. You made the mess; you clean it up. I’m not getting involved." He waved his hands dismissively, striking an uninvolved pose.
This made the little girl really anxious.
She knew that Brother Qizhou was also a player in the ’Deceit World’ and very powerful at that, especially with his blood-red spear. Just taking it out exuded a terrifying pressure, making her shiver and freeze up, leaving her with no courage to move.
Ding Xiaolan had originally thought of getting ’Brother Qizhou’ on her side to teach those bad guys a lesson.
But to her surprise, Brother Qizhou said he wouldn’t intervene,
"No, please, brother! That group is really fierce. Boo hoo, I’m still so young and cute. How can you watch me be cruelly destroyed... Boo hoo hoo hoo..."
As she spoke, tears of grievance flowed down uncontrollably.
Yang Qizhou sighed inwardly. He hadn’t really intended to stand by. He only wanted to tease the little one out of mischief, not expecting her to be so easily provoked.
"Alright, alright, I’ll help you solve this problem."
"Now tell me, what kind of people are they, and how did you get on bad terms with them? I can’t just go into a fight without knowing anything, can I?"
Instantly, Ding Xiaolan stopped crying and smiling brightly, fearing that Yang Qizhou might change his mind. She quickly said, "There are three of them, with IDs ’Giant God’s Disciple’, ’Crown of the King’, and ’Life Priest’. Last night, I took a ’Secret Keeping Society’ mission and ran into them while clearing a map, which led to a conflict."
"Brother Qizhou, it’s really not my fault. Those people were truly wicked."
This little girl, in the world of entertainment, her acting talent would be wasted. Annoyed, Yang Qizhou glared at her and asked:
"Secret Keeping Society?"
Ding Xiaolan quickly explained, "That’s a sect in the ’Mysterious Town’, worshiping the ’King of Secret Keeping’. Thanks to my game character’s status as a ’Master of Millions’ Saint, I’m eligible to unlock this storyline."
Ding Xiaolan’s connection with ’Mysterious Town’ was getting deeper and deeper.
Yang Qizhou was worried, feeling this may not be a good thing.
He decided to suppress his thoughts for now and asked something else, "In ’Deceit World’, the storyline shouldn’t impact the real world. Little girl, how did you expose your exact address?"
Ding Xiaolan scratched her head, looking like a child who had done something wrong, avoiding the topic:
Yang Qizhou’s face darkened, "Speak..."
Seeing that she couldn’t hide it any longer and needing to rely on ’Brother Qizhou’ to get through this crisis, Ding Xiaolan’s expression turned gloomy, as if to say ’it’s not my fault’: "Those three used an item allowing player-level communication. They said if I had the guts, I should reveal my real address or be a coward. I, I, I just couldn’t hold back..."
The process certainly wasn’t as simple as Ding Xiaolan described,
Yang Qizhou could almost imagine the game characters clashing while the players threw insults at each other. Though Little Ding was young, she had the courage of Lu Bu, eloquently arguing, fully unleashing phrases like ’come at me’ and ’what are you looking at’, displaying immense bravado, yet ultimately being too young and inexperienced, accidentally exposing her real address and ending up frightened and trembling.
Yang Qizhou was stunned...
Isn’t this just being an internet troll?
But unexpectedly, the opponent actually followed through.
"By the way, where is Sister Xin?" Yang Qizhou thought of something else.
Ding Xiaolan no longer looked nervous, her face full of smiles, "She went to grandma’s house. I logged into grandma’s WeChat to tell my mom that grandma was sick. She got worried and drove away, not coming back until the afternoon. Meanwhile, I’m home alone."
Yang Qizhou’s eyes showed a strange look,
This brat, better prepare for a spanking when Sister Xin returns.
At this moment, the sunlight was suddenly covered with a golden hue, as if the dusk was eternally preserved, depicting a scene from ’Mythology.’
No, that’s not right. To be precise, only the building unit where Yang Qizhou and Ding Xiaolan were located turned into this scene.
Ding Xiaolan was so scared by this sudden change that she shivered and even talked with a trembling voice, "They are coming, they are coming, Brother Qizhou, they really are coming. You have to protect me. I’m still so cute, so..."
Yang Qizhou scolded impatiently, seeing the little one cover her mouth in fear, daring not to chatter any more, before he turned his gaze outside the window.
There were three people in total, two men and one woman, one of whom was about thirty years old and stood around two meters tall, looking like a small giant, with mysterious marks on the back of his hand emanating mysterious fluctuations. The eternally frozen dusk was just his doing.
The other young man and woman, who seemed to be a couple about twenty years old, were dressed in modern attire. Yet the man’s eyebrows betrayed an overwhelming arrogance, as if looking down on everything in the world. The woman’s skin was pale, but her looks were quite ordinary. She wore a white clerical robe, and while she did not have the man’s arrogance, the coldness in her demeanor was unmistakably apparent.
As if feeling the gaze, the three all looked toward the window in unison.
Giant God’s Disciple, Crown of the King, Vitality Priest... they have really come.
