126: Chapter 126 Getting Out of Singles

Jiang He petrified on the spot.

He had guessed before that Xiao Yao might be coveting his good looks.

But back then, he only dared to secretly fantasize about it himself.

Now that he heard a clear answer, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Xiao Yao, this... this..."

"What do you mean 'this'? Do you not like me?" Xiao Yao glared at him irritably.

"No, no, no, I'm just afraid I'm not good enough for you."

"Hmph, you're sensible enough." Xiao Yao smiled and waved her hand. "Alright, sit down. If you think things between us are moving too fast, actually... we can take it slow."

She had originally planned to give Jiang He a bracelet today to express her feelings first.

But as a result... this straight-laced guy kept talking until he forced her to say what was on her mind.

She looked at Jiang He's dazed expression.

She chuckled inwardly: I really don't know if he's genuinely stupid or just pretending.

"No need to take it slow, I'm willing." Jiang He immediately stood up and shouted.

"Ah! You... sit down quickly," Xiao Yao said in a low voice, her face flushing red.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Congratulations, brother, you're off the market now," Zhao Yun said, raising his glass.

"Hehe, standard procedure," Jiang He laughed.

At this moment, Bai Luoyao secretly kicked him under the table and then shot him a glare.

Jiang He finally settled down.

Soon after, everyone started pouring drinks for Jiang He, one cup after another.

He naturally didn't refuse any of them.

During this time, they also chatted about what had happened in Chang'an City.

Luohe Hall was developing very well.

Ever since they won the guild war against Zhang Zixuan last time, he had quieted down a lot.

He stopped causing trouble and spent his days taking people out to the wild to grind monsters.

Conversely, Blood Blade had been having some issues lately.

Previously, due to being suppressed by Zhang Zixuan, the guild members had long since left.

Now, even those interested in joining a guild were running to Luohe Hall.

Jiang He chuckled: "If you ask me, tell Blood Blade to just disband his guild. He should come join us at Luohe Hall to develop together. Anyway, we're all serving as sparring partners for the national team, why be so conflicted?"

"Exactly, I mentioned that to him before too," Zhao Yun said, raising his glass with a smile. "But that kid got angry with me, saying that if he disbanded the guild, his dad would skin him alive."

The group chatted for a while longer, roughly understanding Jiang He's current situation.

As a result, everyone stared at him in astonishment.

"No way, Da He? You even managed to become a Duke in Crystal Capital? What kind of insane luck do you have?" Zhao Yun said irritably.

"What are you saying? This is called skill, okay?"

"Right, right, right. You have skill. You even managed to win over Xiao Yao, your skill is the greatest."

The next second, Zhao Yun's body shivered inexplicably.

He turned his head and saw Bai Luoyao shooting glares at him repeatedly.

Zhao Yun swallowed hard and quickly took a sip of wine to ease the awkwardness: "Ah! Haha... just a joke, it was all a joke. Come on, today is Da He's birthday, let's have a drink."

The birthday banquet lasted until midnight.

Jiang He just returned to his room, feeling dazed.

Knock, knock, knock—the door was knocked.

"Jiang He, it's me, Xiao Yao."

Hearing this voice, Jiang He's body shivered inexplicably.

What is this girl doing coming over in the middle of the night?

If it were before, her coming over would have been fine.

Back then, the two of them were just friends.

But now they weren't...

Could it be that Xiao Yao's coveting of his good looks had reached a point where she couldn't control herself?

Jiang He swallowed hard, feeling a bit nervous.

He walked toward the door, step by step.

Creak—

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Bai Luoyao with a flushed face, saying in a low voice: "Did... did I disturb your rest?"

"No, no."

Seeing Jiang He blocking the doorway, Bai Luoyao frowned and said: "Are you not going to let me in?"

"Ah? Oh... please, please come in."

Back inside the room.

Bai Luoyao sat on the sofa, while Jiang He stood far away.

"Pfft..." Bai Luoyao couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you standing so far away from me?"

"Ah? No, nothing."

Jiang He said that, but he didn't move a single step.

Suddenly, Xiao Yao stood up and walked over with a mischievous smile: "Oh, I know now. Could it be you're afraid..."

Jiang He hurriedly backed away.

Bang—

He bumped into the wall, waving his hands repeatedly and shouting: "Xiao... Xiao Yao, you need to calm down. We just confirmed our relationship, this is too fast."

"Is that so? You think it's fast?"

"Yeah."

"But I can't wait anymore."

"Ah? This... this..."

Suddenly, Jiang He protected his chest and said aggrievedly: "Th-then alright, but it's my first time, you have to be gentle with me."

Xiao Yao frowned?

"First time?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Liar."

"No, I'm not lying to you, it really is my first time," Jiang He hurriedly explained.

"But you just drank earlier, how is it only once?"

Jiang He was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"You drank so much alcohol earlier, how come you're scared to drink a little more with me?"

"Uh... you were talking about drinking alcohol?"

"Hm? Then what were you thinking about?" Bai Luoyao thought for a moment, then her face suddenly flushed red, and she immediately scolded: "Jiang He, you shameless person, you... you were actually thinking about that..."

Jiang He looked embarrassed and patted his chest with his hand: "That's a relief, that's a relief."

Bai Luoyao was even more displeased by his actions.

"Hmph, looking at you, why does it seem like you're the one suffering a loss?"

"Hehe, no, no, you're overthinking it."

The more Bai Luoyao thought about it, the angrier she got, then she crossed her arms and sat back on the sofa.

Jiang He walked to the pantry awkwardly, took out two bottles of beer, and walked over.

"Come, come, didn't you want to drink more? Today, I'll keep you company to the end."

"Hehe, you said it." Bai Luoyao looked over with a mischievous smile.

Jiang He immediately tensed up, thinking of the scene in Kyoto last time.

His head throbbed reflexively.

"Let's... let's agree on this first, if you get drunk, you're not allowed to hit people with beer bottles."

Soon, the two were clinking glasses back and forth.

After a few bottles, Bai Luoyao suddenly raised her voice: "What? Say that again? What are you going to do?"

"Uh... Xiao Yao, don't get excited."

On the other side, inside the Wings of Dawn guild territory.

"Brother, Brother Jiang already said that your class might have skills you don't know about. I've already notified the guild members to help you search for them."

"Plus, Sister Yun has also mobilized her family's power to help you look."

Fire Phoenix was stomping her feet in anxiety.

Bai Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't waste your effort."

He sighed and continued: "We already spent a huge price to get me this set of exclusive equipment, and it's still the same; I can't even kill a normal monster."

Previously, his family and Yun Que had exhausted a great deal of financial and human resources to find this set of exclusive equipment for Bai Yi.

They had hoped it would trigger special attributes.

As a result... it was still the same; he couldn't deal damage in melee, and he had no ranged skills.

He could only passively take hits.

Later, they mobilized the entire family's power to go to a level 70 map and found this Centaur Beast pet.

They thought having a high-level BOSS by his side would be enough.

As a result... after this BOSS became a pet, it turned into level 1, and it needed to keep killing monsters and being fed to level up.

Furthermore, the potions that could feed the pet were extremely expensive.

Although his family and the Yun family were not short on money, they couldn't just get massive amounts of game currency.

"Forget it, notify the guild members. Those who want to quit, let them quit. They should all transfer to Yun Que's War Wolf Gang!"

"You can't, Brother. Wings of Dawn was built by your own hands, how can you just give it up like that?"

Bai Yi smiled bitterly: "What if I don't give it up? Sooner or later, we'll be scattered by Liefeng and the others. It's better to let the members preserve their strength and transfer to Yun Que's side."

Beep, beep—

Two notification messages sounded in succession.

Bai Yi opened the panel and stood up with a start.
