Chapter 402: The Young Man in Someone’s Heart
Yan Xiaoru was feeling anxious and dejected.
Despite being the esteemed Elder of the Demon Sect, she only showed her softer side in front of Aunt Su.
After all, it was Aunt Su who had watched her grow up and raised her after her parents died when she was young.
Although they were ostensibly master and servant, Aunt Su was the last family Yan Xiaoru had in the world.
Seeing the worried look on her mistress’s face, Aunt Su smiled faintly and said, "Miss, if you want to know what he’s thinking, why not just call him over and ask?"
"Li Muyang may be a slick little thing, full of cunning thoughts, but his nature is still fundamentally good."
"If you treat him with sincerity, Miss, he will surely repay you with true feelings." Experience new stories on novelhall.Côm
As an elder, Aunt Su naturally could see a little more clearly.
In her eyes, the relationship between her young lady and that boy was somewhat tangled and awkward, ambiguously unclear.
Apart from the disparity in their status, another reason was that the two of them were just too polite to each other.
They never pried into each other’s secrets and were extremely courteous and careful in their interactions. This was not necessarily bad, but overly cautious politeness made their relationship quite peculiar.
Even knowing about Miss and Li Muyang’s affair, under her preconceptions, she found it hard to see them as lovers in love.
Others in love have only each other in their eyes, their gazes filled with sweetness.
But not her own Miss.
Every time she and Li Muyang made eye contact, their gaze would unconsciously shift away, the politeness and caution were to the extent that it gave her a headache.
Aunt Su sighed, "Miss, you could guess here a thousand times, but it’s more direct to just call him over and ask."
And this suggestion struck a chord with Yan Xiaoru.
"Call him over..."
Yan Xiaoru seemed to be considering it.
But the next second, she shook her head and gave up the idea.
Pressing her face into the pillow, Yan Xiaoru murmured in frustration, "No, no! This little slyboots has so many secrets, and he likes to hide and hoard them."
"If I ask too much, he will definitely find me annoying, and he might even suspect me of having ulterior motives."
In the world of the Demon Path, where deceit and treachery were rampant, Yan Xiaoru did not want Li Muyang to misunderstand her intentions.
"Besides, if I take the initiative to call him over, how would that little slyboots see me?"
"After what happened, he doesn’t come to me, but instead, I can’t wait and go looking for him... That’s not right!"
"If I were to look for him, that little slyboots’s tail would probably be so high in the air, he’d be insufferably arrogant."
After saying all this, Yan Xiaoru seemed to have convinced herself, nodding earnestly, "Yes, I can’t be the one to approach him first. I’ll wait and see when he comes to see me... Hmph..."
"If the mistress has any instructions, just call for me," Aunt Su added.
After speaking, Aunt Su hurried away.
Fearing that if she stayed any longer and saw the mistress’s embarrassed state, she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from laughing out loud.
...
Yan Xiaoru’s interactions with Aunt Su in her chamber were unknown to Li Muyang.
At the moment, he was in an underworld shrouded in mist, fighting a fierce battle against mysterious villains as the Evil God.
As the plot of "Fatal Wild Grass" has pushed to this point, the lengthy storyline was almost completely unfolded.
Li Muyang had also indirectly learned some secret truths from a thousand years past through this long storyline.
But what’s pressing now is to rescue Little Wild Grass.
Yet facing three formidable villains, Li Muyang’s gaming talent, which he took pride in, had been repeatedly defeated.
Though transformed into the Evil God, possessing the status and combat power of the Evil God, against the noisy array of 51 flashy skills from Lian Lao Ye and the endless attacks from the three mysterious villains, Li Muyang was still frantic and kept being defeated.
In games of his past life, even the notoriously difficult Souls series, the attack patterns of a single BOSS would ultimately be limited to just a few types.
After getting used to the attack patterns of the BOSS, one could quickly beat it.
But the mysterious villains he now faced were three of them, and each villain had dozens of different deadly moves and spells.
The strongest villain holding the Dragon Spine Sword even had two forms. With the Dragon Spine Sword in hand, he had over thirty attack moves, and without the sword, he still had more than sixty moves.
Li Muyang strove to adapt to the attack rhythms of these mysterious villains and made his responses accordingly.
But the complex battlefield information overload often caused his brain CPU to run at full capacity.
His own 51 skills were also flashy and dazzling, making him feel overwhelmed.
After yet another crushing defeat and seeing the failure CG appear before him, Li Muyang heaved a tired sigh.
"This really is a job for a technician..."
The level of difficulty was unprecedented out of all the games he played in his previous and current life.
Mainly because the comparison of battle strengths between the two sides showed him and Little Wild Grass at a disadvantage.
Unable to overwhelm by numerical strength, they could only make up for the disparity in numbers through skilled operation.
But to compensate for the difference in strength with skill is easier said than done – how hard it actually is to achieve!
The challenge posed by these three mysterious villains had already reached a height where Li Muyang was almost reluctant to continue.
He felt that if he continued to be defeated miserably, he might become addicted to quitting the internet.
The damn ultimate quest reward, as expected, wasn’t so easy to obtain!
