VRMMO: The Unrivaled

Chapter 1514: New Den



Chapter 1514: New Den

The next day, 7 in the morning.

My back and waist felt a bit sore as I awakened from my dreams. I had a pretty good sleep last night. At the very least, it wasn’t a night where I had to rein in my impulses all night.

I thought back to yesterday’s events while lying on my bed. Life was like a dream sometimes. After I had powerleveled Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan’er to Level 100 last night, they had put on the Level 100 equipment set I gave them and went off to grind instances. After that, I asked Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon and the others to assist them in their grinding. I didn’t tell anyone about their identities, but I was sure that Chaos Moon and Li Chengfeng at least had already figured out who they were. They just hadn’t said anything about it. The fewer people who knew about this, the better!

I didn’t get to daydream for long before someone knocked on my door. "It’s time to go home, Little Cheat!"

It was Lin Yixin. While I got out of bed, I asked, "Yeah. Give me a moment. Have you booked the train tickets?"

"Nope! Xu Ning had arranged a private jet to fly us to Sunan Shuofang International Airport directly. Someone will be receiving us there…"

"Fuck, fine…"

I scratched my head. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this level of treatment at all. I guessed that I had really climbed the ranks now…

……

After breakfast, at the entrance hall.

Xu Ning said while holding Xinran’s hand tightly, "Listen to Lu Chen when you’re at Suzhou, okay Xinran? Uhh, now that I think about it, you’ve only listened to Lu Chen since you woke up, so scratch that. Anyway, Uncle Ning will visit you as much as he can, so take good care of yourself, okay?"

Xinran replied while nodding, "I know, Uncle Ning, so don’t cry."

Xu Ning: "..."

I added, "Don’t worry, Uncle Ning. I will take good care of Xinran. She will be perfectly safe and sound."

"That’s good to hear. You already know this, but Professor Chen and two nurses will be going with you. Assuming that nothing goes wrong with the big miss’s recovery, Professor Chen will return to Beijing a month later."

"Got it. We’re leaving now."

"Take care!"

After we exited the building, I carried Xinran in my arms while Lin Yixin folded her wheelchair together. We entered a limousine while two employees moved our luggage into the trunk. On the way to the airport, I called Murong Mingyue to inform her about a couple of things, and she said that she had already booked lunch. We would be able to enjoy a meal the moment we returned to our new workshop.

……

A black-colored private jet was waiting for us the moment we arrived at the airport. It immediately entered the airstrip and took off after we boarded it. It was a one and a half hour flight, which was neither too long nor too short a time.

I was sitting on a sofa and peeling an apple for Xinran. He Yi mocked me saying that my technique was so bad that the only thing left of the apple was the inedible core.

Lin Yixin was closing her eyes and catching a short rest when suddenly, she opened her eyes and asked, "I think the best time to attack Sky City and Wind City is now, so why aren’t the Northern Alliance, Cyan Earth City and Swallow Ear Canton doing anything?"

He Yi shook her head and said, "No idea!"

I replied, "Maybe they’re still waiting."

"Waiting for what?" Lin Yixin asked.

I thought for a moment before answering, "Maybe they’re waiting for more of the Twelve and Ghost Armaments to drop. Maybe they’re waiting for more of their players to become gods. Both Vienna’s Sorrow and God of War are aware that divine players will be the pivots of all future wars. They must be searching for a way to ascend their players with everything they’ve got. I promise you that the Northern Alliance will attack us the moment they deem that they have enough gods to destroy us!"

Lin Yixin fell silent for a moment before saying, "I don’t think that there’s anything we can do to stop them."

I nodded. "Yeah. What we can do is develop more Divine Rank players than they do. It is why I had tried so hard to recruit Little Piglet back to the game. Our enemies are numerous, and we only have so many experts. We absolutely cannot afford to lose any talent."

He Yi chuckled. "Who cares? Right now, the most important thing is to head home and enjoy the warmth of the south! Beijing is just too cold for my taste!"

"Haha, I agree. Would you like to move in with us, Yiyi?" I asked.

Lin Yixin shook her head. "I’ll still be staying in Snowy Cathaya’s workshop, but I’ll definitely visit your new place from time to time, so don’t forget to keep a room for me. It must have an ample amount of sunlight and a big bed…"

I replied, "Of course. The bed will be big enough for you to roll back and forth as you please. In fact, it’ll be big enough for three people to roll around the bedsheets…"

"Pooh! Shameless!" Both ladies glared at me in unison.

……

We arrived at Sunan Shuofang International Airport at 10 am and entered a private car. Before it was even 11 am, we crossed Suzhou’s borders and began heading straight toward our new workshop. I felt extremely blessed as the car slowly passed through the gate and into the massive garden of our villa. If nothing else, it wasn’t a bad place for the little princess of Eternal Moon to live in.

A three-storey detached villa entered our field of view, and standing in front of the entrance was none other than Murong Mingyue, Lian Xin and Beiming Xue. The moment the car came to a stop, a cheerful-looking Beiming Xue opened the car door in a hurry and said, "Where’s Xinran? I need to see how cute she is in real life~~"

Xinran blushed and pressed her face against my chest. "Big brother…"

I shot her a reassuring smile and said, "This is Beiming!"

"Hello, Sister Beiming Xue…"

"Good girl! I’ll buy you some sweets later…"

Xinran: "..."

I let out a cough and chided the girls, "Stop treating Xinran like a little girl, Beiming, Lian Xin. Did you forget that she’s the Wind Singer inside the game? She’s the woman who faced countless murder attempts and conspiracies and came out alive. In fact, I bet she’s way smarter than you two when it comes to scheming and trickery…"

Xinran pulled my arm and complained, "I’m not tricky, big brother…"

……

The room arrangements had already been completed. My room was the centermost room on the second floor facing toward the stairs. One might say that I was the guard of the second floor. The two nurses, Professor Chen and the hourly auntie each had a room to themselves on the first floor. Also, there was a security post less than a hundred meters away from us, so our safety shouldn’t be a problem.

The dining room on the first floor was practically twice the size of our original workshop’s living room. A tableful of food had already been prepared for us, although most of them were light-flavored and dry because Xinran was still recuperating.

We were starving, so we didn’t hesitate to take a seat and dig into the food immediately.

Murong Mingyue said while holding a ladle, "By the way, there’s one thing I need to ask your opinions about."

"Hmm? What is it?" He Yi looked up.

She smiled. "It’s nothing big. Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Du Thirteen, Yamete and more found out that you’ve returned from Beijing with Xinran, so they’re planning to hold a welcoming dinner for her at this very workshop tonight. It’s been a while since we all gathered anyway. What do you think?"

He Yi looked at me and said, "You decide, Lu Chen."

I thought for a moment before saying, "Tell them to prepare a red packet with at least 10k RMB in it, or they can forget about showing their face…"

Murong Mingyue curled her lips. "You are one scummy older brother, aren’t you?"

I shrugged. "How is this scummy? Those bastards claim that they want to hold a welcoming dinner for Xinran, but who’s the one who will be preparing the food? We are. They just want to eat a free dinner. No, it’s my solemn duty to stop them from taking advantage of us too much…"

"Yes, yes, you’re all despicable. Anyway, I’m leaving to make the preparations then. It’ll be too expensive to order directly from the restaurants, so I’m just going to hire a couple of chefs over to prepare our food. I’ll be purchasing our alcohol separately as well."

"Sure. Thanks for everything, sis!"

"You’re welcome!"

Murong Mingyue puffed up her huge chest with pride before shooting me a resentful look. "Seriously though, Lian Xin and I barely slept a wink in the past three days to get this residence set up and move everything in, you heartless bastards. Appreciate me more…"

I shot her a glance and snorted. "Like hell you are. I can see that your eyes are puffy from oversleeping, you know. I bet you’ve been sleeping over 10 hours everyday…"

"My eyes are puffy because I haven’t been sleeping!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever…"

……

I didn’t log into the game when afternoon arrived because there weren’t many things left to do online. My level was too high to grind, and everyone else was busy with their ascensions. There wasn’t much I could do for them either, so instead I chose to keep Xinran company and explore our garden a little. From what Murong Mingyue told me, the villa had been purchased at the price of 17.9 million RMB. No wonder the garden was ridiculously huge.

"Big brother…"

Xinran wasn’t sitting on a wheelchair right now. Wearing a beige-colored miniskirt and a pair of white boots, she was currently holding onto my arm and carefully stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground. After maintaining her balance for a while, she said with a smile, "I think I can walk on my own now…"

I slowly released her, took a few steps to the front before facing toward her with my arms spread. "Try walking over to me then. Don’t fall, okay?"

"Okay."

Xinran bit her lips and slowly made her way over. Although her steps looked a bit odd, it was a rather pleasing view considering how beautiful Xinran was. The moment she got close to me, her left leg gave way, and she collapsed into my embrace. It will take her a while longer to walk on her own, I see.

"Should we take a rest?"

"Mn!"

I supported Xinran to a rattan chair before taking a seat myself. Xinran looked at me, then at the ground, then at me again.

I said expressionlessly, "Walk over yourself if you wish to sit in my lap…"

"Can I?! Okay!"

She smiled ear to ear before rising from her chair. She then walked up to me, sat on my lap and hugged my neck affectionately, saying, "I like being in your lap, big brother. It makes me feel like time has come to a stop, and that I can forget everything."

I caressed her shoulders lightly. "Is that so? But… this isn’t right, Xinran. Remember what I said about ‘men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things’? When you get a boyfriend in the future, he is sure to annihilate me if he sees us like this…"

Xinran looked at me and said, "In that case, I don’t want a boyfriend. I only want you, big brother…"

I said, "Big brother will marry either Eve or Yiyi in the future though. When the day comes, I won’t be able to hold you like this anymore. Otherwise, they may get angry and annihilate me together…"

Xinran sniffed and looked like she was about to cry. "What do we do then?"

Me: "..."

A while later, I supported Xinran to her feet and resumed her walking practice. I also taught her some normal habits and stuff. The sooner she grew accustomed to the modern world, the better. I knew full well I wouldn’t be able to stay with her forever. All I could do was to teach her as many things as I could while I was still in this world.

……

Xinran was practicing her walking when a group of people suddenly barged into the courtyard without warning. A brawny, savage-looking man walked right up to her, broke into a savage grin, and held up a tanghulu before saying, "Smile for me, and I’ll give you a tanghulu, little girl!"

Xinran was so scared that she dared not move a muscle.

I said expressionlessly, "You wanna die, Fighting Spirits?"
