Chapter 259 - h

The layout of the narrow room was very simple. There was a small bed, a set of tables and chairs.

There was nothing else.

Only Chu Yujing and Li Yi were in the room.

Chu Yujing, who had already recovered to her original state, did not have the attitude of a big boss when she faced Li Yi.

She was like a little girl who had just entered the world — shy and simple. Only her eyes were filled with the desire for everything in this world.

Li Yi, on the other hand, acted like a little boy. He sat opposite Chu Yujing and behaved obediently. He was very reserved.

The two of them did not say anything after a long time. Li Yi’s mind was filled with the scenes from before. In his previous life, he had not been able to protect Chu Yujing. At the same time, he even hurt her.

Both of them felt extremely guilty.

Chu Yujing was afraid of how weak she looked in Li Yi’s eyes.

Both of them had their own problems.

Now that they were in the same space, they really did not know what to say.

“Are… are you okay?”

Li Yi thought for a long time, but he could not bring himself to say it.

In the end, he could only utter a meaningless sentence.

“I’m… fine. How about you… Are you alright?”

“Of course I’m fine.”

Li Yi patted his chest hard, trying to prove that he had recovered with such a st*pid action. After a burst of silly laughter, the two fell into silence once again.

“What do you plan to do with Tick City?”

In the end, it was Chu Yujing who broke the silence by asking a question quietly.

“Oh, about that. I’ll wait it out. I’ll deal with them when the time comes.”

Li Yi could not make a move now. His demonic sword had been sealed, and his strength had been greatly reduced. If he went to challenge them now, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

He would not fight such an uncertain battle.

“Then what do you plan to do next?”

“Er… I’ll level up first. Moreover, the Carefree Station still has many things waiting for me.”

“Oh, right, I heard that you’ve cleared the first nightmare mode dungeon again. Congratulations!”

“Thank you.”

The two of them really could not find anything to talk about. The purpose of Li Yi’s visit this time was to confirm that Chu Yujing was fine.

Since he had already seen it with his own eyes, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

“Glad to see that you’re okay… I’ll take my leave first. You should rest well.”

Li Yi stood up and prepared to leave.

Chu Yujing lowered her head and did not say a word and only nodded silently.

Li Yi changed from one step to three steps and turned his head back at his fourth step. It was not easy for him to reach the door.

He stopped in his tracks.

“Jing… Please don’t meddle in my affairs anymore.”

Hearing Li Yi’s words, Chu Yujing’s heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something.

“I’m sorry. I got in the way.”

“No, no, no, it’s not like that.”

Seeing that Chu Yujing had misunderstood, Li Yi hurriedly explained

“I was afraid that if you were to get hurt because of me again, I would feel guilty, so… for your own safety…”

“It’s okay, I’m not afraid. I… I mean, friends should help each other, right?”

After saying this, Li Yi and Chu Yujing’s faces were completely red.

“Because we are friends, I don’t want to see you get hurt. Anyway, that’s it. Goodbye.”

Li Yi did not dare to stay any longer. He turned around and teleported back to Carefree Station.

He knew very well that his current status and equipment were coveted by many players. As long as there was an opportunity, everyone would take the opportunity to skin him alive.

This matter had already escalated. Not just Tick City, but countless people in Divine Revelation wanted his equipment. It could even be said that everyone wanted to take something from him.

Especially his demonic sword. That was something that everyone coveted. However, no one knew the real source of the demonic sword. They only knew that it was a great weapon.

If they knew how terrifying the existence behind this weapon was that it involved the relationship between gods and demons. Everyone in Divine Revelation would be in chaos.

Therefore, Li Yi had to act cautiously.

The companions of the Carefree Station could not be separated. These people had already become Li Yi’s weakness. Besides Li Yi, they had no one else that could protect them.

However, Chu Yujing was different. As long as she did not contact Li Yi too much, she would have the Misty Rain Guild and Kesha City as her backers.

She should stop worrying about him. Moreover, it would not be good if Breezy Lake used her as an excuse. Hence,he could only try his best to cut off contact with her.

This was the best method that Li Yi could think of at the moment.

After returning to the Carefree Station, he held a meeting to explain the situation.

“Now, we have become a thorn in the side of the major sects of Divine Revelation. Everyone, be careful in your actions. Moreover, I’ve already cut off contact with Chu Yujing. Now, we can be considered to be on our own. If everyone is afraid now, we can band together to find another way.”

Li Yi could had spoken his mind.

He could only do so. Previously, he had thought too simply. He thought that if they were to be a team, they would be stronger and would have an advantage against the gods.

Now?

Constant fighting, endless matters, and even hurting the people around him had changed his worldview on things.

In the end, Li Yi had still been too confident in his own strength.

He thought he was invincible in the world, but in the end, Snow Flower had shown him that he had more mountains to climb.

He thought that his fame was enough to intimidate everyone, but in the end, Mighty God had chased Clutch King and the others for hundreds of miles.

He had thought that everything was beneath him.

It was only then that he realized… He was not strong enough now; he had to be even stronger, so strong that no one could rival him, so strong that no one else would even have the courage to approach him.

If this continued, the outcome would probably be the same as in his previous life — no one would be able to save him. He had thought that everything had changed, but in the end, nothing did.

After speaking, Li Yi ignored everyone present and directly left. He wanted to level up. He could not wait for even a second. Riding on his Demonic Dragon, Li Yi flew away.

Leaving everyone behind, they did not know what to do.

“Everyone, don’t run around for the time being. Apart from clearing dungeons to level up, stay in Carefree Station. Don’t run around and expose yourself.”

Snow Chaser solemnly reminded everyone present, especially Clutch King and Dream Chaser.

They were the culprits in this incident. If it had not been for them, Li Yi would not have been able to do this either.

Clutch King and Dream Chaser knew that this was their fault , so they dared not say anything and silently nodded. They were as obedient as children.

However, Clutch King was not convinced of some things and spoke up.

“D*mn, I thought that I wouldn’t have any scruples after my strength increased, but in the end, I’m still restricted. My strength has increased, but the opponent is also getting stronger. We still have to work hard. Let’s go to the dungeons together to level up.”

“Okay.”

“Bring me along, I need to get better too. This is an important time for all of us, so no one should slack off.”

After saying this, Positive Barry led his companions and Clutch King to go to the dungeon together with Dream Seeker.
