Chapter 468: Let's Bet Your Wife

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wind-gazing Cape of the Western Continent was one of the most scenic maps in King of Pantheon. It looked like heaven on earth.

This place was beautiful that a lot of players came here for the sights, either to take photographs or travel with friends.

Li Yi flew up high so as to not startle the players below. He held Divine Looking Glass close to constantly check on Sister Windcloud Nine's coordinates.

With Divine Looking Glass at hand, the enemy's Aggro Tracking System was ineffective against him. As long as he stayed out of his enemy's sight, he was safe no matter where he went.

It was not going to be easy returning these equipment to Brother Windcloud Nine. If he were to simply return them directly, knowing him, Brother Windcloud Nine would never accept them.

Li Yi thought about it and realized the only way to resolve this misunderstanding, was to take the path less trodden.

He was going to find Sister Windcloud Nine and have her kill him. He would then toss the equipment on the ground prior to his death.

"The world must have never seen such a giver like me."

Li Yi laughed at himself while searching for Sister Windcloud Nine. After flying for ten minutes, he spotted a dark figure below.

Dressed in a black robe and face masked with a black veil, was Silly Swan Sister Windcloud Nine. She was fighting a clouded leopard solo with Curse Spells.

Vengeance was a powerful force to drive an originally casual player like Sister Windcloud Nine into sharpening her skills. She threw a Blood Stasis and took a step back before unleashing Fear and Weakening. She immediately replenished another Blood Stasis once the effect was gone. The clouded leopard did not even lay a finger on her when it was tortured to death.

Curse Priest was not capable of dealing high damage but this class' strength lay on its various status attacks A master of this class would be able to hit up a status combo where the target would remain stunned up until its death without any chance to resist.

Sister Windcloud Nine's technique has improved a lot as her level went up but she was far from being that legendary master. Li Yi secretly observed her and noticed she has not hit up a combo.

Li Yi took a look around for a while, ensuring there were no other players close by before landing gracefully. He unequipped all his equipment and stuffed them in his Space Pearl, leaving out only his Orange Quality Bow as he slowly walked towards Sister Windcloud Nine.

"I'm not in the mood to level up. I'm thinking about going fishing again."

Li Yi was drawing closer to Sister Windcloud Nine yet this Silly Swan was still chatting up a storm with him.

"Fishing's boring. You should pick up a fight or two when you're free, take a few rounds in PK. That's fun," Li Yi replied as he stopped at around ten meters distance behind Sister Windcloud Nine.

"Cough—"

Li Yi let out a gentle cough, prompting Sister Windcloud Nine to turn around. What followed was that Sister Windcloud Nine let out a loud shriek, covered her face with her hands and ran into the herd of clouded leopards...

"Roar roar—"

As the series of snarls went on, the clouded leopards pounced on Sister Windcloud Nine to attack. She was wiped out in an instant.

F*ck me...

Li Yi was so angry his head almost blew up. He has never seen someone so silly in his whole life. Why did she run? She could have just hit him and he would lie straight on the ground.

Of course, it was not easy to die facing this sort of opponent...

Li Yi was utterly flabbergasted. He came here to return the equipment but seemed to have caused Sister Windcloud Nine to die again.

"I... I bumped into my nemesis. I can't revive now, I'm gonna go offline now, I... I'll be leaving first."

Sister Windcloud Nine sent a message to Li Yi and soon her corpse disappeared.

Li Yi smacked his head, pissed beyond any words.

"Brother Windcloud Nine, I just killed your wife. Come over if you're a man!"

Li Yi blew his top. Fuming through his ears, he sent Brother Windcloud Nine a message.

"Dark Wing, it's either your head or mine!" Brother Windcloud Nine roared. He was enraged.

"I'm at Wind-gazing Cape, the coordinates are..."

Because Sister Windcloud Nine was too silly, the earlier getting killed plan could not be realized. She just ran when she saw him, so depending on her to kill him was virtually impossible.

He has to resort to finding her man to give him a go. It would be great if he were to succeed in his plan. If it was still a miss, then he was going to let it go. He had already made attempts so he would just let them be.

Half an hour later, Brother Windcloud Nine rode on Cerberus, hustling and bustling as he came over.

This moneybags was a real man. He came alone without reinforcements.

"Dark Wing, the grudge is between you and me, so come at me. Can you be more despicable killing my wife?"

Brother Windcloud Nine's face was flushed red from anger. Cerberus beneath his thighs was also breathing fire. As a Legendary-level mount, this beast shared its master's anger.

Compared to when Brother Windcloud Nine first obtained it, this beast has doubled its size. The major difference between an Epic-level and Legendary-level mount was not its ability but its growth. Some Epic-level mounts may be more powerful than Legendary-level mounts but one thing was for sure, an Epic-level mount could never grow. Its ability stayed the same from when it was obtained to the future, until forevermore.

Brother Windcloud Nine was shining in purple light from head to toe. With his equipment gone, he obtained another set of Epic-level garments. The quality, though, was far from his previous equipment.

"I'm here for a quest but she ran into the pile of monsters when she saw me. It's not my fault."

Without waiting for a response from Brother Windcloud Nine, Li Yi continued, "Would you dare to bet with me one more time?"

"What's the bet?" Anger was written all over Brother Windcloud Nine's face.

"Let's bet your wife."

"F*ck *&&^#%%%!" Brother Windcloud Nine lost it and for the first time in gaming history, he cussed.

"What are you thinking..." Li Yi pressed his hand on his forehead and explained, "Hear me out. The bet's simple. I'll take the equipment and Gold Coins you lost to me as a wager to bet your wife wouldn't dare set foot online. If I win, the equipment on you are mine. If I lose, the equipment and Gold Coins go back to you!"

"What do you mean?" Brother Windcloud Nine's face narrowed in suspicion. Li Yi's bet was too easy. In other words, he was practically giving out free money and equipment.

This person was devious. It must be some sort of ruse!

Brother Windcloud Nine's mind on the right path but he simply could not figure what was Li Yi really up to.

"Do you dare to gamble with me? Are you a man? Just say the word!"

Li Yi drafted and signed a contract before tossing it over.

Brother Windcloud Nine did not retrieve it. Instead, he glared at him while lost in his thoughts.

Brother Windcloud Nine took a deep breath out, calming his nerves, "Dark Wing, what are you really planning?"

"I'm bored so I'm in the mood to gamble. Just say the word if you dare!"

"No!" Brother Windcloud Nine was straightforward in his answer.

Li Yi nodded and summoned Black-feathered Golden Eagle. He got on his mount and was about to fly away.

"What are you doing?" Brother Windcloud Nine was stunned.

"You're not in for a gamble and I'm done with my quest so I'm heading back."

Seeing that Li Yi really was going to leave, Brother Windcloud Nine became confused. He waved his arm, "Wait a minute, let me think about it..."

"Okay, I'm in!"

At the wave of Brother Windcloud Nine's arm, the contract flew to his hand. After signing, the contract vanished.

The time limit was three hours and as long as Sister Windcloud Nine logged on, Li Yi would lose.

Brother Windcloud Nine logged off. Li Yi waited and waited, and soon, the long three hours have passed. There was a beep from his mail. The contract went into effect and Brother Windcloud Nine has lost. The System has forcefully mailed his equipment over...

Li Yi was completely flabbergasted.

It was just a simple matter of coming online, yet... yet he lost?

After a while, Brother Windcloud Nine came online with an ashen face. With the equipment on his body no more, he was only wearing a pair of Novice Boxers. It was a sad sight.

"I lost..."

"You..."

Li Yi has no words for Brother Windcloud Nine as he looked at the sad sod. If he could lose a bet like this, what possible bets could he win?

Motherf*cker, it was impossible to return these equipment to him. F*ck it, he was not going to return them anymore. Whatever!

Li Yi blew a fuse and rode Black-feathered Golden Eagle away.

Li Yi had just left when Sister Windcloud Nine appeared online. She took glances to the left and right before timidly running toward Brother Windcloud Nine.

"Honey, is he gone?"

Brother Windcloud Nine glared at Sister Windcloud Nine, going ballistic with an inhumanly scream.

"You're here when he's gone. Where did you disappear to?"

"If... If I were to say that there was a power outage at our place, would you believe me?"

"No."

"... Then I have no words."

"You really pissed me off, sigh!"

Brother Windcloud Nine was out of town while Sister Windcloud Nine was back at home. The timing Li Yi chose to bet was really on point.

"Hey everyone, Dark Wing's here. Dark Wing's here, everyone!"

Players shouting in the regional channel attracted Brother Windcloud Nine's attention.

"Bp! Bp! Bp!"

Li Yi held the Orange Quality Bow in his hand as he stood on a protruding rock. He already shot down over ten men.

As he was making a move, he flew a little too low and bumped into a group of Western Continent players with the nerve to shoot him down and attack with numbers. He was already hitting the ceiling so he did not hold back in his counterattack to take them down.

The rest of the Western Continent players who were grinding levels there were not spared. Li Yi was on a killing spree as he vented his earlier frustration on these people.

Sister Windcloud Nine's face changed when she saw the regional channel, "Honey, Pink just invited me to go for a facial, I... I'm logging off."

"You can't go!" Brother Windcloud Nine was furious as he dragged Sister Windcloud Nine along.

"I'm not letting you off the hook if you log off!"

"Honey, please don't. I... I really am going for a facial."

"Don't you dare! Follow me!"

Brother Windcloud Nine did not take no for an answer as he cradled Sister Windcloud Nine up Cerberus to set course for Wind-gazing Cape's exit.

"Do you have any equipment on you? White Quality would do."

"Yes, I obtained many but the best I've got is Gold Quality."

"Anything would do, give them all to me."

Sister Windcloud Nine traded all her lousy equipment drops to Brother Windcloud Nine.

Brother Windcloud Nine could not care less the equipment as long as he was able to equip them. He held a White Quality double-handed sword which he gloriously dragged behind him as he made way to Li Yi.

"Dark Wing, let's settle the score!"

"Brother Windcloud Nine's here! We're saved!"

Those Western Continent players lying on the ground were over the moon.
