Chapter 610 - 611: He is the Underworld Emperor!
Di Xiaxia blinked, what the- my apprentice actually protected her! Plus, he looked so cool doing it... guess raising this apprentice was worth it after all!
This game was very flexible. The Sweet Gentleman level’s battle mode is turn-based with both defense and protection functions. Player characters could choose to protect other players as well as their own pets.
To put it bluntly, protecting meant taking the bullet for another character.
Nangong Jin immediately made a ’WTF’ face and asked, "Is your apprentice an idiot?"
Di Xiaxia retorted, "Why are you protecting me? I can’t die. Move out of the way or you’ll be dead in three turns."
The Underworld Emperor didn’t say anything.
Nangong Jin got upset and quickly chose ’protect’ as well.
Then, Di Xiaxia automatically swung her weapon at Sweet Gentleman who counterattacked. An amusing scene followed.
Both the Underworld Emperor and Nangong Jin moved forward at the same time to shield Di Xiaxia, each letting out a handsome groan.
Di Xiaxia’s whole body tensed, and she instantly got goosebumps.
Oh man, this scene was so cringeworthy!
After the carnage, Nangong Jin sent a triumphant emoji, "Like I can’t play the protector."
Di Xiaxia rolled her eyes, "Aren’t you bored?"
"Not bored at all."
Both responses popped up over Nangong Jin and the Underworld Emperor’s heads, leaving Di Xiaxia beautifully flustered.
The result was Di Xiaxia didn’t lose a single health point when facing Sweet Gentleman because she still had full health.
Meanwhile, the Underworld Emperor, Nangong Jin and Sweet Gentleman all fell to the ground, dead as a doornail.
Di Xiaxia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Dying by monster attack in this game meant losing money, experience, and the durability of equipment.
Nangong Jin casually laid on the ground, typing, "That was intense, a four-person party!"
Di Xiaxia: "..."
Underworld Emperor: "Raise me."
Seeing this, Nangong Jin hastily typed, "Xiaxia baby, raise me, raise me first!"
Underworld Emperor: "Raise me first!"
Di Xiaxia: "..."
Nangong Jin: "Baby girl, is our love real? You can’t abandon your true love Gege for the sake of an apprentice!"
Underworld Emperor: "If you don’t raise me first, I’ll sever the master-apprentice ties."
Being between a rock and a hard place, Di Xiaxia stared at the two bickering men on the ground and finally decided, "I’m not reviving anyone, do whatever you want!"
With those words, she walked away leaving them behind to continue playing dead.
Nangong Jin: "Ahhh, Di Xiaxia, you actually abandoned us!"
Di Xiaxia couldn’t care less, "You two can decide whether to stand or not."
With that, she prepared to go mining, unwilling to deal with these childish men.
But she still kindly sent them a private message, "Revive yourselves."
Then she disbanded the team and flew off to mine.
After she had mined five ores, Nangong Jin appeared and flirtatiously said, "Baby girl, I will accompany you mining."
Di Xiaxia sent a disgusted emoji.
Nangong Jin quickly typed, "I suspect your apprentice is acting strangely!"
Di Xiaxia was taken aback, "What do you mean strange?"
It took Nangong Jin a while to respond, "Do you think he could be the Boss?"
Di Xiaxia was drinking a cup of water, and she nearly spat it out on the computer when she read Nangong Jin’s words.
Putting down her cup, Di Xiaxia quickly replied, "You’ve watched too many soap operas! Do you think he has the time to play games with me? Let alone play this cat-and-mouse game! Do you think he’s as idle as you? He’s busy as hell every day and has no spare time at all!"
"Who knows." Nangong Jin replied, "Men can be really persistent when it comes to these things! I don’t believe he could stand a whole month without paying attention to you. So, I’ll bet you, the Underworld Emperor is him!"
