TSFLIP Chapter 128

The man in white was named Dao Youxin, the woman in white was Meng Guo’er, and the pitiful girl lying on the ground was Zhao Xiaolu.

Fengguang, intrigued, smirked and crossed her arms as she walked over. “I was wondering who it was—turns out it’s none other than the goddess Meng Guo’er.”

Meng Guo’er stiffened at the sound of Fengguang’s voice but quickly regained her composure, flashing her most charming smile. “In front of you, I wouldn’t dare claim the title of goddess.”

“Xiaomeng, you know her?” Dao Youxin asked in surprise. He was a veteran of the game, and of course, he’d heard of the legendary Wanyang, who had held the number one spot on the wealth rankings for years. No one else had ever come close.

Before Meng Guo’er could answer, Fengguang smiled and chimed in, “Oh? You’ve changed partners again? I remember the last man by your side was someone else… What was his name again? Oh, right! He was ranked 18th on the combat leaderboard, I think. Don’t mind me, though—I only pay attention to the wealth rankings. The combat rankings? I forget those the moment I see them.”

“The guy you’re talking about was two months ago.” Meng Guo’er’s face darkened for a split second, but she quickly looped her arm through Dao Youxin’s, beaming. “Now, I’ve found my true soulmate.”

She nestled against Dao Youxin like a delicate bird, exuding an aura of sweetness. Dao Youxin, holding her hand, looked at her with unmistakable tenderness in his eyes.

Another poor fool, Fengguang thought, feeling a twinge of sympathy for Dao Youxin. She glanced at Zhao Xiaolu, still lying on the ground. “So, what did this poor girl do to offend you, Goddess Meng?”

“I was chasing after the Snow Fox, and she had the nerve to compete with me for it. In the end, the fox ran away! Tell me, shouldn’t I be angry?” Meng Guo’er fumed.

“Of course you should be. The Snow Fox is a rare pet, after all. But isn’t corpse camping her a bit boring? Since I’ve got nothing better to do, and now that I’ve run into an old friend, why don’t we have a chat?” Fengguang teased.

Meng Guo’er’s expression changed instantly. “You may be free, but I have things to do. My husband and I are going to Kunlun Mountain to admire the snow. You go on and wander around by yourself.”

Not giving Dao Youxin a chance to speak, Meng Guo’er pulled him into the time portal, practically fleeing the scene. She was terrified that if they lingered any longer, Fengguang would spill all of her past “heroic deeds” right in front of Dao Youxin.

Fengguang casually strolled over to Zhao Xiaolu’s side. “Hey, they’re gone. You can get up now, right?”

“Are they gone?” After a few seconds, a hesitant line of text appeared over Zhao Xiaolu’s head, showing her lingering fear.

“Yep. But seriously, as the disciple of the number one player in the game, how come you didn’t call Shen Wuyan or your guildmates for help when they started corpse camping you?”

“I was too embarrassed…”

Fengguang was baffled. “Embarrassed? If anyone else were associated with Shen Wuyan, they’d be showing off to the world. Why would you be embarrassed?”

“Matters of the martial world should be resolved by oneself.”

“Did Shen Wuyan teach you that?”

“No, that’s how it’s written in martial arts novels,” Zhao Xiaolu replied earnestly.

Well, at least she’s honest, Fengguang thought, amused.

She nudged Zhao Xiaolu’s foot. “Hey, do you like lying on the floor or something? Are you getting up or not?”

Caught up in the conversation, Zhao Xiaolu had forgotten to respawn. Realizing the respawn point was right there, she quickly stood up from the ground. “Tha—”

Before she could finish her thanks, a blade pierced her chest. Zhao Xiaolu’s eyes widened in shock as she saw Fengguang get impaled by a sword. Though there was no blood in the game, the sight of Fengguang’s stunned face made it feel as if crimson flowers were blooming all over her body.

The blade was pulled out, and the red-clad girl fell to the ground. Standing behind her was a man dressed in black, his face concealed by a hood.

Zhao Xiaolu gasped and covered her mouth in shock.
