Chapter 359: A Kind Person Will Be Easy to Bully!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The only people in the game who had the courage to point out the secrets of Sunflower Manual right in front of Lu Mingyue while declaring that he did not have a man’s private parts would only be those who did not know the definition of death.

The area outside the royal mausoleum instantly became silent!

Even though the crowd felt that whoever had rebuked Lu Mingyue had done so in a fashion that made them vent their hatred as well, Lu Mingyue was the successor of Sunflower Manual, and his abilities stood supreme above all. While the onlookers felt pleased, they also fell silent while looking with pity at the young man who had stood up for the unfamiliar woman.

They could already imagine just what sort of methods Lu Mingyue would use to torment this idiot who stood up for the woman after he became agitated by those words.

However, the progression of events caught everyone by surprise.

Lu Mingyue did not attack in anger born out of shame, but instead stared at the man in front of Momo with a solemn expression. His face was incredibly sour. “It’s you again!”

When he said that, a dumbfounded expression could be found on everyone in the crowd.

‘They know each other?’

For a short period of time, countless gazes examined the mysterious man. He was not dressed in awe-inspiring armor or archer gear, had no Bamboo Hat, and no Golden Gauntlet or Golden Boots, which were the fashion choices from the royal mausoleum that everyone in the area had. Aside from a pretty decent looking sword, which seemed like a high-grade masterpiece by his side but was not refined, he had nothing else.

‘He’s very normal...’

“This is my personal grudge against her, so it’d be best if you didn’t butt in!” Lu Mingyue stared at Happy with an unpleasant expression. His gaze was very dark.

Happy was completely unaffected by Lu Mingyue’s words. He cast a glance at Momo, who was injured heavily and did not even have the energy to stand up, and his tone turned cold without his notice. “And if I insist on saving her?”

“You won’t be able to!”

Lu Mingyue’s eyes turned cold. He suddenly tugged the thread, and the embroidery needle that was connected to Momo’s calf immediately pulled her body. She moaned helplessly, and her body flew forward from behind Happy.

However, at the moment Lu Mingyue did that, Happy scowled and reacted just as fast.

Clang!

A blue sword glare that looked as if stars had decided to shine on earth appeared. With a single slash, the thread snapped, and the action was followed by the sound of the sword cutting at the air. Happy also executed Dragon Capture with his left hand to catch Momo. His actions were smooth and clean.

Since Lu Mingyue’s attack had missed, he took half a step backwards. When he looked at Happy and Momo, his gaze turned even colder.

“What a perfect case of a hero saving a damsel,” he said as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. “Happy, it’s not the first time you’ve come to the royal mausoleum. Do you intend to clear the royal mausoleum again and help Mu Clan gather up masterpieces?”

The moment he spoke, the area around the royal mausoleum burst into a commotion.

All sorts of incredulous gazes were aimed at Happy, and discussions rose and fell.

“It’s him?!”

“No wonder. I was wondering who would have the courage to act in such a domineering fashion in front of Lu Mingyue.”

“Did he come alone? Or did...”

The great players in the area quickly shifted their attention from Momo to Happy and Lu Mingyue.

Happy’s gaze darkened, and he laughed coldly in his heart. ‘You saw that you couldn’t gain the upperhand directly, so you decided to reveal my identity so I would be antagonized by everyone in my trip to the royal mausoleum later and have trouble in every step of the way?

‘Lu Mingyue, you bastard, you’re really sinister. If that’s the case...’

Happy took out three Dew Pills from his Universe Bag and stuffed them into Momo’s mouth before he stood up and stared back at Lu Mingyue. “I let you leave while we were in Baokang, but you seem to not have accepted your defeat, and you spread rumors all around the place saying that I took advantage of you while your qi was drained. Now that we met each other today, why don’t we fight?”

“Hmph, just as I wish!” Lu Mingyue snorted coldly and agreed to it without hesitation.

In truth, he had long since been displeased with some of the rumors in the game. Happy might be strong, but that did not mean that he was a threat to Lu Mingyue. Right then, Lu Mingyue had a strong urge to prove his worth before the great players around them!

Sunflower Manual was the best in the world!

The duo’s conversation caused the great players in the area to feel incredibly excited.

The successor of Sunflower Manual and Happy, who was the most famous player and ranked at the top of the Famous People Rank, were about to fight. Their trip was truly not in vain.

Hundreds of people moved back simultaneously, even though they had not talked to each other about this before. They made a large space for Happy and Lu Mingyue.

Once Momo plucked out the embroidery needle and recover from her wounds with the help of Dew Pills, she felt slightly better. She cast a deep glance at Happy and whispered her gratitude.

“It’s what I should do,” Happy said without even turning his head around. “I’ll be entering the royal mausoleum later, so I won’t be able to take care of you. It’d be best if you left while I fight against him.”

Momo froze for a moment, then cast Happy a surprised glance before nodding quietly. She slipped into the crowd and quickly vanished.

“Hmph.”

Even though Lu Mingyue was displeased by seeing Momo leave, there was a great enemy in front of him, and he had no choice but to let her go. His cold and dark gaze shifted to Happy’s face.

“Happy, I’ll let it slide that you interfered in the matter in Baokang because you wanted the resources in Shennongjia. Right now, you’re going up against me for a woman you never even met before. Today, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll be thinking that I’m easy to bully because I’m kind.”

“Kind? I wouldn’t say you’re kind.” Happy shook his head while he spoke with an indifferent tone. Then, while the players around them smiled in tacit agreement, he said something that made Lu Mingyue so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. “But it’s true that you’re easy to bully.”

“You conceited bastard!” Lu Mingyue roared coldly.

The sleeves of his red robe fluttered madly, and his fair arms were revealed in a dazzling manner.

The powerful Sunflower Aura swiftly spread out to cover a circular area of one hundred and sixty-four feet around Lu Mingyue. It was as if it formed a round cover, and all the changes within the area could not escape his control.

That was the result of Lu Mingyue’s hard work after he lost the second time against Happy. Right then, his control of Sunflower Manual had grown stronger, and he could control the strength and size of the field at will. His ability to adapt to the situation according to all the changes within the aura had also improved.

Happy noticed the clear change in quality of Lu Mingyue’s Sunflower Manual the moment it appeared. Its various effects had become stronger. The automatic circulation of qi in his body faced some resistance, and it was also being depleted very quickly.

‘I see. No wonder he agreed to the fight so resolutely.’ Happy increased his guard.

Lu Mingyue noticed the depletion of Happy’s qi and smiled coldly, but he did not attack immediately. “Hmph, I suggest that you switch your gear, or else, when you die here, don’t start searching for stupid reasons as to why you lost.”

However, Happy was not someone easy to deal with. He mocked Lu Mingyue right back with equally cold words. “Don’t worry, I’m different from you. If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose.”

Lu Mingyue’s expression turned red with rage. “I’d like to see whether you’ll still be able to say those words later!”

His hands went into his sleeves, and four embroidery needles shone with a breathtaking light from between his fingers.

Whoosh!

At the instant the embroidery needles left his hands, the expressions of the players in the area turned grave.

The speed of his embroidery needles under the effect of Sunflower Aura was so fast that it was frightening. It was impossible to find them with the naked eye. Besides, with the interference from the demonic voices, it was very difficult to hear the embroidery needles piercing through the air too.

If Lu Mingyue chose to use long-distance flying needles to deplete Happy’s qi, it would be difficult for him to handle the situation. If he let down his guard in the slightest, he would face the danger of defeat and death.
