Chapter 276: I was drunk that night...
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although it was thanks to Li Yi that Xu Man had managed to escape from that predicament, the Platinum Hand party had been disbanded because of it. There had also been a rift in Infinite Insanity and Mad Dragon’s relationship. The two were like fire and water, fighting both in real life and in-game. It was completely uncontrollable.
This state of infighting Platinum Hand was in only settled down after Xu Man logged into the game.
The fact that Ye Yingbing was bribed by Li Fei to lock the changing room was something Xu Man had already investigated thoroughly.
Naturally, Xu Man could not let this sort of person remain in Platinum Hand. Thus, the first order of business when Xu Man logged in was to kick Ye Yingbing out of the party.
The infighting between Infinite Insanity and Mad Dragon had also ceased. Now that the truth about Ye Yingbing being the culprit was revealed, Infinite Insanity admitted that he was wrong and silently went offline. He did not show his face again until half a year later.
Everyone in Platinum Hand had known that Infinite Insanity had a huge crush on Ye Yingbing. However, no one could have expected this turn of events.
Ye Yingbing had also disappeared. Once the truth behind the whole incident was revealed, she had never returned online ever again.
Due to this whole event, Xu Man had a change of heart. She announced the disbandment of Platinum Hand as she officially joined the Little Drunk Cats guild.
It was just like in his past life, Platinum Hand had disbanded. However, the difference this time was that Lil’ Man was still here. She even joined Little Drunk Cats as one of the key members, having a position with the same authority as Chen Yang and the gang.
As the results of the Blade Peak Arena Individual Tournament were announced, Li Yi was unquestionably awarded the first place. He was awarded the gold-quality non-combat flying mount — the Blue-horned Griffin.
The Blue-horned Griffin’s body mass was very small. It had a flying speed of 180% in the air, being slightly faster than the mounts on land.
Of course, the biggest difference between flying mounts and land mounts was that the former could soar in the air. With this mount, Li Yi no longer had to make huge detours on land avoiding the landscape. He could fly directly over to any place, saving him loads of time.
Now that the Individual Tournament was over, the Group Tournament had commenced. However, since the majority of the elites in the Three Major Guild Alliance were stuck with the Black Dragon King’s Curse, most of them could not participate. Hence, the championship contenders were down to those within the Iron Alliance.
Due to Platinum Hand disbanding, their core members had all joined Little Drunk Cats. This essentially meant that the first place and second place contenders in their bracket were both from Little Drunk Cats. Thus, there was no need for the two parties to compete against each other, the system straight up announced that the Little Drunk Cats guild would enter the finals.
On the other hand, the God Creator Guild came out victorious in their intense bout with the Dream Guild, earning their way to the finals as well.
As the two crossed swords, Little Drunk Cats won in an absolute sweep. The God Creator Guild lost twice in a row, automatically sending them to second place.
Other than the exclusion of a mount, the Group Tournament had similar prizes as the Individual Tournament. Furthermore, Lady Luck seemed to be smiling upon Fatty this time around. On opening his first Honorable Gift Pack, he obtained a blue-quality Yellow-horned Griffin mount.
The non-combat flying mount Yellow-horned Griffin had a flying speed of 150%, so it was still slower than the Blue-horned Griffin. However, to Fatty, that was just a trivial detail. Nothing else mattered as long as he could fly.
The opinion was that if everyone else was still stuck on the ground with their land mounts, how would a player feel if they had the ability to soar freely in the sky?
Once Chen Yang obtained the Yellow-horned Griffin, he spent the rest of his day just flying about in the skies...
Li Yi had originally thought that the whole Xu Man debacle had been resolved. However, to his surprise, Xu Man sent him a personal invitation, asking to have a meal with him specifically.
The location was a bar near Li Yi’s house, which surprised Li Yi. However, in the end, he still decided to head on over.
In a dark VIP room in the bar, two beautiful girls with the exact same face sat side by side. One looked beautiful and elegant, while the other looked gorgeous and charismatic. These two were precisely the Xu Man and Xu Yue whose identities had been speculated by Li Yi for the longest time.
Xu Man was Lil’ Man, whereas Xu Yue was Moonlight Ocean. Just as Li Yi predicted, the two of them were identical twins.
“To our great Guild Leader, raise a glass!”
The pair of sisters raised their wine glasses and toasted towards Li Yi.
“What’s with the excessive courtesy...” Li Yi was a bit nervous, but he also grabbed a glass of wine and started to drink.
“If it weren’t for you, I think I’d be sleeping with the fishes by now.” Xu Man’s face was completely flushed as she downed the entire glass of wine.
“Sis, when did your alcohol tolerance get so good? The last time I checked, you’d always be down for the count after just a single glass.” Xu Yue teased.
“My alcohol tolerance h-has always been goooood... What’re you t-talking about...” Xu Man drunkenly lied down, before instantly transitioning into a deep slumber.
“So, you were saying? Your alcohol tolerance is so weak, Sis.” Xu Yue helplessly shook her head, smiling at Li Yi, “Well, let me say it in her place then. In the last concert, right before Sis fainted, she saw that it was you who caught her. So we’ve decided to come over and thank you for that time.”
Xu Yue raised her head as she emptied her glass without showing even a hint of redness or lack of breath.
Li Yi was stunned, “The one at the gathering in the capital last time, that was you?”
“What do you think?” Xu Yue replied in an entirely different voice.
“So it was you!” Li Yi finally realized.
Xu Yue proudly replied, “I can imitate several hundreds of voices. It is my profession after all.”
“Profession?”
Xu Yue pointed at her military uniform. Li Yi immediately understood, not pursuing further.
“You two sisters sure do look alike. You even sound alike.”
“My work is quite lax, so I’ll often do my elder sister’s job in her stead. Sigh, despite my sister’s amazing singing talent, she’s an extremely lazy person in real life.”
“Don’t you dare to compete with me in laziness, I’m too lazy to even compete with you...”
The drunk Xu Man suddenly mumbled, instantly causing Li Yi and Xu Yue to burst out laughing.
“Come, great Guild Leader, cheers!” Xu Yue raised her glass once more.
Li Yi asked, “Your sister’s alcohol tolerance is so low, but your alcohol tolerance sure is high, huh?”
“I’m born with it I guess, I don’t know much about it.” Xu Yue vaguely answered the question.
‘The elder sister dropped after a single glass, whereas the younger sister’s a heavy drinker. What a pair of strange sisters...’
Li Yi’s alcohol tolerance was quite high, how could he be afraid of this young girl? He grabbed his glass and started downing the wine. In the blink of an eye, he and Xu Yue had finished 4 bottles of red wine.
Xu Yue’s alcohol tolerance was quite high, but it was a matter of who she was drinking with. She was up against Li Yi after all. Not even ten Xu Yue’s could outdrink a single Li Yi.
“Come, drink more, I’m still not drunk yet, I can still drink five more bottles...” Soon, Xu Yue also lied flat on the table and entered a deep slumber.
“Isn’t this a bit too much? Both of y’all are already dead drunk? Aren’t you afraid that I might be some sort of bad guy that would rape the two of you in your sleep?” Li Yi started mumbling to himself before grabbing the microphone and started shrieking. ( B oxnovel.c om )
“YOu get aWAY from MEEEE! Don’t come close to me, DON’T DON’T DON’T DON’T come close to meeeeee...”
Li Yi’s hard-rock style singing had high penetrative power, not even the bar’s VIP room’s soundproofed walls could block it.
“Bro, can you sing a bit softer?” A guy outside the room knocked on the door and roared at him.
Li Yi roared back, “Is it a problem if I’m loud?”
“It’s not a problem, but if this Xu Man heard her song being sung like this, she would definitely cry.”
“Xu Man won’t cry, she’s right here next to me listening!”
“This crazy drunk, he’s starting to bullsh*t out of his *rse...”
The guy outside the room just ignored him and waddled away.
“Young people these days, don’t even believe me when I’m telling the truth.” Li Yi helplessly shook his head as he continued his shout-singing performance.
“Pfft——”
Just as he was shout-singing Xu Man’s new hit single, a weird sound came from behind. When he turned around to take a look, he found something amiss.
Xu Man, who was drunk to the point of unconsciousness earlier, was seated upright with tears in her eyes. She was trying her best to hold back her laughter, but the corner of her mouth could not help but arch up.
‘Bloody hell, this b*tch pretended to be drunk!’
Li Yi instantly understood. Xu Man was never drunk in the first place, it was all an act.
‘So you wanted to test me?’
Li Yi grinned with his eyes closed. Every time he smiled like this, it meant that he was scheming something.
He stuck the microphone up against Xu Man’s small mouth...
“Come, Mrs. Big Celebrity, sing your hit song, Get Away From Me hmmmm...”
Li Yi knew that if Xu Man was actually drunk, she might wake up. However, if Xu Man was faking being drunk, she definitely would not “wake up”. Hence, he could use this opportunity to play a prank on her.
Li Yi used his hand to maneuver the microphone around her small mouth over and over again, occasionally even thrusting it forward, causing Xu Man to blush. However, she still did not dare to wake up.
“YOu get aWAY from MEEEE! Don’t come close to me, DON’T DON’T DON’T DON’T come close to meeeeee...”
Li Yi kept pushing the microphone up against Xu Man’s small mouth as he continued to shout out the lyrics to the song. He had seen through everything. The smug grin on Xu Man’s face had long disappeared, being replaced with a bitter frown.
‘Who asked you to play pretend? Hmph.’ Li Yi secretly felt quite satisfied. He took back the microphone, switching his target to Xu Yue.
“Come, you also sing a bit. Aren’t you a lark 1 that can change her voice? It would be a waste if you don’t sing a bit.”
The microphone still had remains of her sister’s saliva on it, but Li Yi mercilessly traced it on her face countless times. This caused her face to shine due to all the drool plastered onto her.
Li Yi’s drunken act looked almost as if he was truly drunk. The Xu sisters could not even sense his hidden intent in his actions. They could only grit their teeth as they accepted their fate. There was nothing they could do...
“If the elder sister doesn’t wanna sing while the younger sister is singing, that wouldn’t be fun, would it? Come, you sisters need to have a duet!”
Li Yi propped up Xu Man with one hand and Xu Yue on the other, bringing them both closer to the microphone. Suddenly, he pretended to slip. With a push, Xu Man and Xu Yue were now embraced in each others’ arms and their lips were pressed onto each other...
Tears started streaming out of Xu Man’s eyes. What hell had she just put herself through? If only she had not listened to her sister’s advice. Why did she agree to act drunk to test Dark Wing’s personality in the first place? Now, she did find out that he was not some despicable scum, but getting toyed with so much by this drunk...’Wasn’t this a bit too cruel?’
” Today’s wine I drink today. 2 Life is bitter and short, why not just enjoy it while we can?” Li Yi sensed the atmosphere tensing up. He would have gone overboard if he continued, so he decided to stop. After saying something poetic, he lied down on the sofa and started snoring.
Hearing Li Yi’s snores, the two sisters finally sat up and looked at each other. Their faces were blushing red.
Xu Yue angrily glared at her sister, “It’s all your fault!”
Xu Man pouted her little mouth, “Who asked you to drink so much with him? If he had drunk a little less, he would’ve probably stayed sober enough not to pull all those stunts.”
“So now what?”
“We go home.”
“We’re just gonna leave him here?”
“Is there a problem?”
“I don’t think there would be any problem.”
“Then let’s go home!”
The two sisters stood up and walked towards the door, but stopped in unison. Looking at each other in the eye, they said together, “We can’t let him off that easy!”
Xu Man pulled out her lipstick and Xu Yue pulled out her eyebrow pencil, both of them pointing it towards Li Yi...
