Chapter 311: What happened during This King’s afternoon nap

When Shi Xiaobai claimed to already have a girlfriend, Mu Yuesheng and company were astounded. Instead, it was Ka Xiaozi who said matter-of-factly, ‘I know’.

Shi Xiaobai immediately felt somewhat curious. The news of him having a girlfriend was something only Kali herself or Sunless, who he previously informed, knew.

Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask doubtfully, “You know?”

When Ka Xiaozi heard this, she was taken aback, but she immediately regained her composure and said, “Everyone knows. Your girlfriend is…Sunless Ye. I of course…know.”

This matter was something almost all the rookies knew. Although it was a misunderstanding, that was how rumors started.

It seemed quite typical for Ka Xiaozi to misunderstand Sunless as his girlfriend.

Shi Xiaobai immediately wiped his doubts away and shook his head gently. “It’s not her.”

Ka Xiaozi’s eyes immediately turned odd as she whispered, “So there’s someone else?”

Mozzie’s eyes burned with a Soul of Gossip. She looked at Shi Xiaobai and hurriedly said, “Lord Shi Xiaobai, who is it?”

Mu Yuesheng and Kevin also stared intently at Shi Xiaobai, obviously very interested in knowing who Shi Xiaobai’s girlfriend was. From their point of view, Shi Xiaobai was constantly surrounded by chicks, but he had never expressed any interest in that regard.

Although his Massage Technique of God was somewhat ambiguous, he was like a block of wood himself, turning a blind eye to the alluring scenes. People could not help but sigh because of it. Either Shi Xiaobai was overly pure and innocent, or he was engaging in a long con.

As such, Mu Yuesheng and company refused to believe that Shi Xiaobai had a girlfriend. They could not imagine what girl could stir Shi Xiaobai’s heart that even Sunless and Ka Xiaozi could not.

From their point of view, a girlfriend was likely an excuse Shi Xiaobai used because he found it troublesome.

In fact, Mu Yuesheng and company understood Shi Xiaobai very well, but they were only half-right.

Shi Xiaobai indeed found it troublesome, but he truly had a girlfriend. Furthermore, he did not mind telling others who his girlfriend was.

Shi Xiaobai frankly said, “This King’s girlfriend’s name is Kali. All of you probably don’t know her.”

With this said, Mozzie and company gaped, before spontaneously scoffing with a “tch”, as they gave the look of ‘whoever believes you is a fool’.

Shi Xiaobai was surprised and asked curiously, “Why that reaction?”

Kevin rarely had a chance to put Shi Xiaobai down, so how could he miss this opportunity? He said, “Although I know you picked a random name to brush us off because you do not have a girlfriend, I never expected you to use the name Kali. Shi Xiaobai…we are all from Gaia. Who doesn’t know about the three powerhouses of Gaia, Her Excellency Kali? Cough. Her Excellency Kali’s age can be your grandmother’s grandmother’s…to the n-th time. Rumor has it that she’s old and ugly. Furthermore, her temper is terrible and she has an odd personality, an old hag that strangers shy away. Yet, you say Kali is your girlfriend. This joke is way too exaggerated!”

Mozzie quipped as well, “Lord Shi Xiaobai…Grandma Kali is very famous. Don’t use her as a joke for no reason.”

Mu Yuesheng also anxiously said, “Rumor has it that Her Excellency Kali’s temper is even odder than His Excellency Hisith’s. Also, rumor has it that she has been chaste all her life, and people curse her behind her back as an old hag or old virgin. Although, it’s not pleasing to the ears, it’s evident that Her Excellency Kali is a person who cares about her chastity and well-being. It’s best your joke doesn’t reach her ears!”

When Shi Xiaobai heard the trio’s words, he frowned deeply and said with a solemn expression, “The rumors you heard are all extremely ridiculous. Kali looks more like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. She’s as pretty as a pixie, with a very gentle personality. This King likes her a lot. It’s completely opposite from what you have heard. Forget it, it’s best when you see her in person. This King will find an opportunity for all of you to meet her one day.”

Seeing Shi Xiaobai’s expression look so serious, as though he was fuming, the trio did not dare to say anything more. They were filled with doubts. Could all the rumors regarding Kali be fake?

Shi Xiaobai was indeed rather angry, but it was not because of the trio’s words, but angry over the rumor-mongers’ slanders.

Kali held a very special spot in Shi Xiaobai’s heart. She was not to be slandered.

No one noticed that the silent Ka Xiaozi had lowered her head. There was a complicated looking smile on her lips, as though it was an angry sneer, but also a relieved smile.

The mood turned slightly heavy.

Shi Xiaobai did not wish to harp on this topic, so he quickly changed topics and said, “Oh right, what happened during This King’s afternoon nap?”

When the trio heard this, they were slightly taken aback before they realized what he meant. The afternoon nap Shi Xiaobai was referring to was the period he was unconscious.

Depicting unconsciousness as an afternoon nap was very Shi Xiaobai.

Mu Yuesheng, who had been defending by his side ever since he began ‘taking an afternoon nap’, knew the situation the best. She began describing what had happened during that period of time.

Mu Yuesheng did not embellish the situation too much, nor did she mention how she had hurt her hand while protecting him. She simply told Shi Xiaobai that after he fell unconscious, due to the goodwill he had accumulated in the previous levels, many rookies chose to protect him. Along the way, the black-robed youth that he had killed revived. There were people who were killed protecting him, so the rookies ran away in fright, leaving only nine people to protect him.

Mu Yuesheng very seriously informed Shi Xiaobai of the names of Pulp Farmer and company.

Mu Yuesheng finally added, “Oh right, there was a mysterious person protecting you in the dark. If not for that shot that blew up the head of the black-robed bloody figure at the critical moment, the situation would likely have been rather dangerous.”

When Shi Xiaobai finished hearing this, he said gratefully, “Thank you to all of you. This King will remember this favor.”

Kevin embarrassedly said, “Don’t thank me. I came late. I basically didn’t help at all.”

Mozzie stuck her tongue out as she said, “It’s all my fault for running too slowly.”

Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said, “It’s enough to do your best to rush to me. This King just woke up about half an hour ago, and slept more than ten hours. What happened during this period?”

In fact, Shi Xiaobai was eager to know how Mozzie and Kevin were able to clear the fifth level. He had a nagging feeling that this matter should have been rather complicated.

Kevin cleverly realized what Shi Xiaobai was asking about, so he said, “So you woke up half an hour ago. In that case, you were probably unconsci-…having an afternoon nap for twelve hours. There were quite a lot of things happening during this period of time. The first oddity was the fifth level’s Level Lord did not descend although the time was up. The next big thing was the bloody figure reviving. It began scouring the world to find people to vent its anger. It destroyed the Life Epaulettes of many rookies, and no one could stop it. But thankfully, the bloody figure was randomly given the Death Epaulette. After he vented his anger for ten minutes, he was sent away. Therefore, there were still rookies who ‘luckily’ survived. Mozzie and I happened to tide over the calamity.”

“Later on, Mozzie was randomly assigned the Death Epaulette, but by then, the top ten in the official forecast had already cleared the level, while the remaining rookies were mostly ‘killed’ by the bloody figure. In addition to the Level Lord not descending, Yuesheng, Mozzie and I formed a three-person group and managed to succeed surviving ten minutes. Of course, it was mostly thanks to Yuesheng. After she broke through to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, her strength was almost equivalent to Pulp Farmer and the rest. Typical rookies were no problem for her. Later on, I was also randomly assigned a Death Epaulette. Yuesheng protected me as well…so, Mozzie and I, with the help of Yuesheng, together with the Level Lord being on strike and the bloody figure’s frenzy…we managed to luckily reach the sixth level.”

After Kevin depicted the series of events in detail, Shi Xiaobai could not help but give a Like to the duo’s good luck. Of course, the most important thing was because of Mu Yuesheng’s protection, if not, luck would not have been sufficient. After all, the rules of the fifth level were very disadvantageous to slower-moving people like them.

However, there was a nagging feeling that there was something odd with the fifth level’s Level Lord going on strike.

For some reason, Shi Xiaobai could not help but feel a sense of foreboding.

At this moment, Kevin seemed to think of something as he added, “Oh, right. I forgot to tell you about the situation regarding the sixth level. During the past ten or so hours, four dragons have died in the sixth level. As such, four ‘Bravehearts’ have been sent to the seventh level. It might sound like a coincidence, but the four people happen to be the top four as predicted in the official forecast—Speechless, Mu Lengxi, Sunless and Pulp Farmer. Furthermore, the order in which they slew the dragons was just like their ranking. Now, the fifth dragon has already appeared in the mountain valley in front. All the rookies are basically gathered here. I did a count, with the two of you here, there’s a total of forty-five people.”

When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he cocked his head to give a look. They were gathered here to chat, while the other rookies that were gathered on the other side would occasionally cast curious looks at them, but no one took the liberty to disturb them.

Shi Xiaobai immediately felt somewhat curious. He asked, “When This King woke up, the fifth dragon should have descended, right? Why are all of you gathered here after half an hour?”

Kevin said with a wry smile, “The path into the mountain valley is blocked and the outer perimeter of the mountain valley has a domain which no one can break through it. Although there’s a hole in the domain, that domain is blocked by an immobile monster. No matter what we do, we aren’t able to make it move.”

When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he was slightly surprised. What monster left so many people at their wits’ end?

Shi Xiaobai immediately said, “Let’s go. Bring This King there!”

Kevin nodded and turned around to head forward. The rest immediately followed.

Shi Xiaobai turned his head sideways to Ka Xiaozi beside him. Noticing how she didn’t look well and recalling how this bubbly girl had been silent for a while, he could not help but ask out of concern, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

Ka Xiaozi looked up and said with a smile, “Nothing. I’m just wondering what monster can block so many people.”

The group proceeded forward, walking past the gathered rookies. Turning round a bend, they saw a path that led into the mountain valley.

A monster was blocking the path.

The monster was truly extremely odd. From its shape, it was clearly a gigantic ball. Along its circumference was a disk, making it look like a medallion.

However, this ball and disk were clearly made out of diamond!

It had two eyes like night pearls that were about the size of basketballs.

This was no monster. It was basically a priceless treasure!

Wouldn’t one try to carry away such a treasure even if it risked one’s life?

However, the dozens of people could only stare and were unable to move the gigantic diamond monster?

At this moment, a deliberately raised voice rang out from the midst of the whispering crowd. It was filled with disdain.

“Aren’t you all irritating? Stop fucking talking so highly of Shi Xiaobai. Let me make this clear, even if he were to use all his strength, he will not be able to move the monster!”
