Chapter 320 - At Least Leave One for Us
Her exquisite face, carrying an air of both aloofness and elegance, attracted the gaze of almost every male player in the tavern as she walked in.
Many players swallowed hard after taking in Su Lian’ya’s perfect figure.
Even Array Emperor, who had seen countless women, found himself staring.
Although Lan Xingyue was called the number one beauty of Mythic, her aura was too cold, making people feel she was hard to approach.
Su Lian’ya’s aura was different from Lan Xingyue’s completely unapproachable coldness.
While similarly difficult to approach, her charming smile and the underlying sense of vulnerability gave people an irresistible urge to get closer.
She appeared both pitifully delicate and dangerous, yet one couldn’t help wanting to approach her.
She was, of course, Su Lian’ya, known as the Mind Master.
She had come with the Temple president, but hadn’t shown herself until now.
However, after seeing Lan Xingyue’s series of actions, Su Lian’ya, who had been hiding among the Royal Knight Squad, couldn’t sit still anymore.
As Lan Xingyue’s close friend, she naturally knew Lan Xingyue’s personality very well.
For someone as arrogant as Lan Xingyue to take a liking to a skeleton, and even throw herself into his arms in front of everyone…
Su Lian’ya had never seen Lan Xingyue behave so outrageously.
The better she knew Lan Xingyue, the more curious she became about this skeleton’s identity.
That’s why she appeared before everyone, regardless of the consequences, to publicly question Jiang Cheng.
“This doesn’t concern you, does it?”
Although it was rare to see Su Lian’ya so flustered, Qian Shanxue really disliked her attitude.
So she bluntly retorted.
Unfortunately, Su Lian’ya didn’t want to bother with her at all. Instead, she stood in front of Jiang Cheng, her eyes burning as she looked at him, waiting for his response.
Of course, this was also what others particularly wanted to know.
How could a skeleton receive the favor of super goddesses like Lan Xingyue and Qian Shanxue?
It even led to a scene of jealousy, with three women fighting over one man?
Even if he could break Array Emperor’s unbeatable formation myth, that was because everyone’s levels were still low, and many skills couldn’t be combined.
Once everyone’s levels increased and their individual fighting styles took shape, this black skeleton wouldn’t amount to much.
So Xia Dongli, Zhao Bai’an, Fa Shen Wings, Ice Blade, Huo Silou, and others all turned their gazes towards Jiang Cheng, who was sitting steadily on the bench.
They were eager for his answer.
However, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t pay her any attention.
Being stared at by such a peerless beauty, most people might feel a bit inadequate.
Moreover, as the Mind Master Su Lian’ya, a master who could play mind tricks to perfection, her gaze was naturally not so simple. It must carry a hint of hypnotic effect.
If it were someone else, they might easily fall under her gaze.
But Jiang Cheng had already fallen for her tricks once, and naturally wouldn’t fall for them a second time.
This time, he was prepared to counterattack.
Jiang Cheng suddenly extended his bone arm, grabbed her jade-like hand, and pulled Su Lian’ya into his embrace. As Su Lian’ya let out an unexpected soft cry, he whispered in her ear.
However, Jiang Cheng always kept Su Lian’ya’s delicate body and his black bone frame half an inch apart.
At this distance, Jiang Cheng and Su Lian’ya weren’t actually touching.
Although Jiang Cheng could feel all the hairs on Su Lian’ya’s body standing up, they still weren’t in contact.
But to others, it looked like a different story altogether.
“Vice President Su!”
Seeing his own vice president being harassed, and even embraced by a skeleton, Zhao Bai’an naturally had to step up to protect her.
“Damn, Black Skeleton, you’ve gone too far! We can’t do anything about Dharma Saint and Thousand Miles of Frost since they’re old acquaintances of yours, but now you’re not even sparing Vice President Su? Do you think we don’t exist?”
“Vice President Su, don’t be afraid, let me protect you.”
In this situation, Xia Dongli, Array Emperor, and others couldn’t speak up due to their status, so they could only instruct their subordinates to question Jiang Cheng.
So after Mad Magic – Flame King and one of Ice Blade’s top experts spoke up, others also glared angrily at Jiang Cheng.
Think about it, everyone present was a well-known expert from various factions, and there were even several Gods here.
But today, on the matter of women, they were utterly defeated by a skeleton. It was a complete loss of face for the living experts!
How could they not try to regain some face?
The situation was about to explode.
Among those present, apart from Xia Dongli, Array Emperor, Immortal Phoenix, as well as Huang Quan and The Humbly Great Emperor and other minor figures, almost everyone stood up.
As long as Su Lian’ya gave the word, they would all attack simultaneously, taking down this black skeleton who had utterly defeated them, to vent their anger.
Fist Sage and the others, sensing the tense atmosphere around them, also stood up, confronting the others.
If they dared to make a move, Fist Sage naturally wouldn’t be polite either.
However, Su Lian’ya, at the center of the conflict, had a different experience.
She was already 22 years old, and this was the first time in her life she had been embraced by a skeleton.
Although it was just a game, the Great Wasteland was 100% realistic, with every detail perfectly simulated.
So now, her body was very rigid, and her face even more so.
This wasn’t just because of the cold aura emanating from Jiang Cheng’s body, but also because of her bewilderment at being embraced for the first time.
“One sentence can provoke everyone’s hatred. Your mental logic and reasoning have improved again.”
Seeing that she hadn’t moved and her face was very stiff, Jiang Cheng whispered in her ear.
Su Lian’ya’s pupils trembled slightly, and she covered her mouth, looking at Jiang Cheng in front of her in disbelief. “You…”
Jiang Cheng’s tone, as well as his confident demeanor and aura, suddenly gave her a very familiar feeling.
In an instant, Su Lian’ya’s heart began to race violently.
“Now is not the time to be in a daze.” Jiang Cheng’s teeth parted slightly, carrying a hint of a smile.
Although Jiang Cheng’s face was just bones, Su Lian’ya could sense it very well.
Looking at the experts around who were ready to stand up for her, Su Lian’ya suddenly smiled sweetly.
Moving away from Jiang Cheng, she elegantly extended her slender finger,
“President Zhao, please sit down, everyone. I have something to discuss with him. I kindly request President Zhao to wait downstairs for a while.”
Array Emperor: “…”
Zhao Bai’an: “…”
“It’s over, even Vice President Su has fallen. Is the Black Skeleton planning to capture all ten beauties in one go?”
“This… Su Lian’ya was embraced and didn’t resist, that’s one thing, but now she even wants to discuss something with the Black Skeleton? And she wants to do it behind our backs? What are they planning to do?”
Hearing Su Lian’ya’s words, everyone felt the urge to spit blood.
“There are many female players who are good at the game, but not many who look like Lan Xingyue, Su Lian’ya, and Qian Shanxue. This damned Black Skeleton, are you sure you won’t leave one for us?”
“President Huo, Blood Dancer, you better be careful. The Black Skeleton’s next target might be you.”
Xia Dongli looked at Huo Silou with interest.
Huo Silou didn’t respond to him, but her gaze towards Jiang Cheng, this skeleton who repeatedly surprised people, now held a hint of interest.
