âAlright, I think youâre alright. The reasons behind this should be extremely complicated.â Blue Maple had a cold look on his face as he spoke.
Blue Maple was evidently angry.
âYes. Even though I donât my memories of the past, I think they arenât important. I donât know why I feel like that.â
White Cherry could see Blue Mapleâs anger. Even though she didnât know why felt that way, she spoke her mind because she didnât want Blue Maple to be bothered.
âYes.â Blue Mapleâs response was casual, like he didnât take her seriously.
Blue Maple was thinking about other things.
Even though this probably should have nothing to do with you, Silent, Iâm sure you must know something. Blue Maple thought to himself coldly. He was already unhappy that Silent Observer had been messing with his actions in the game.
Blue Maple would not believe that if Silent Observer didnât know anything about this.
Blue Maple was still deliberating in his mind about when he would visit Silent Observer again. But nowâŠ
âHey, Maple. You should shut this down. People gay grow suspicious otherwise.â White Cherry glanced at the void around her as countless numbers and code were still floating around her, and she voiced her concerns.
âWhatever.â Blue Maple seemed very indifferent.
Void Abyss Program has re-entered its disguised form and returned to simulation engine sequence.
Their surroundings gradually returned to normal under Blue Mapleâs command.
Disguise obtained, program returned.
The systemâs voice ended while everything around them returned to normal.
Blue Maple quickly started doing something else. He shifted fire from the outside world and gathered all the flames into the same area.
The Deities Guildâs players, who were cleaning up the battlefield, all turned to stare. They were riveted.
Everyone was already confused when Blue Maple and White Cherry were enveloped in fire. The flames around them started dancing, and there was no wonder they found that even stranger.
What exactly are they doing? Wolf God tried to rise above the crowd to have a better look.
Are they going for even more exciting stuff after completing their sneaky and shameless business? Wolf God thought to himself indecently.
Wolf God was known as a shameless pervert, and the dirtiness of his thoughts were quite unmatched by the average person. However, it was difficult for people not to think indecently about what Blue Maple and White Cherry were doing when they were inexplicably covered by a wall of fire for two to three minutes.
Heavenly Fire teleportation, activate!
The fire around them rapidly contracted and collapsed into Blue Maple and White Cherryâs position. A large sphere of blue fire appeared above the stone bridge as it spun continuously.
The enormous fireball suddenly dissipated with a boom in the next moment, and several sparks of fire eventually disappeared with the wind.
Whatâs happening? Where are they?
Everyone from the Deities Guild were baffled, and nobody knew what was going on.
âDid he just do a long distance teleportation? Furthermore, heâs carrying somebody elseâŠâ One player uttered uncertainly.
âSss ~â
Everybody drew cold breaths when they heard his words. Skills with such immense flexibility was terrifying in group battles for guilds.
Furthermore, Blue Maple could take somebody else with him. One could imagine that a skill like that could teleport friendlies directly into their enemiesâ backlines during group battles, and that was such a terrifying possibility.
The battle began leaning entirely towards one side once Blue Maple dealt with the players attacking at long range, and one could see how terrifying it was when someone could cut off the back lines in a group battle.
âStop fussing. The channelling time to carry one person is so long. This only means that the channelling time to teleport himself is very long, or his teleportation distance is very far.â Wolf God appeared around the players who were discussing with each other.
Wolf God naturally appeared after he watched the two of them leave.
Everyone thought about it closely and realized that he was right when they listened to his explanation.
âWhat do we do now, Wolf God. Do we go back?â A player asked Wolf God.
âWhat else are we going to do? Admire the cherry blossoms? Prepare to kill the Cherry Blossom Treant at night.â Wolf God glanced at that player coldly like he was looking at a mentally retarded individual.
Blue Maple had already burned all the cherry trees down. What cherry blossoms were there to see? What else would they do other than go back? Were they going to stare at charred tree trunks?
âUh⊠sorry. Thatâs my bad.â The player also felt a little embarrassed.
âAlright. Everyone, clean up the battlefield, then go back and prepare. Afternoon will be free and easy, and we shall slay the Cherry Blossom Treant at night!â Wolf God hollered at everyone, but he decided to walk towards the group of cherry trees that hadnât been burned down across the creek.
âUh, Ogi-kun, inventory of our spoils from this battle will be your responsibility. Iâm going to head off first.â Wolf God waved and didnât allow any room for negotiation as he stomped off without even turning back.
âYes!â
Today is considered a rest day after all. A whole throng of people squeezing over there isnât going to work, so Iâm going to head over there myself to admire the cherry blossoms. The other guys can go in the afternoon. Am I abusing my authority by only letting them see the flowers in the afternoonâŠ
Wolf God arrived by the creek as he thought.
However, he had taken but a few steps when he was suddenly stunned by what he saw when he looked up.
The reason was because there was a beautiful young girl in the distance. She was wearing a flowing pale blue dress, and her hair was exquisitely combed and prepared, while her black hair appeared extremely beautiful. Her figure looked very mature from a distance, and with all her curves, a faint gust of wind blew into an enchanting view as she stood underneath a cherry tree.
This young girl was Blue Snow, who was here to see the cherry blossoms.
Blue Snow wasnât wearing any gear because she just wanted to admire the flowers freely. She was wearing ordinary accessories, but she still looked very elegant and pretty.
She hurried over when she saw Blue Mapleâs flames. However, her Agility was clearly insufficient since she wasnât wearing any gear, so she was a little slow.
Blue Snow coincidentally witnessed White Cherry lift up Blue Mapleâs fringe when she arrived. However, Blue Mapleâs back was facing her, so their actions appeared very intimate from Blue Snowâs perspective. Blue Maple and White Cherry were subsequently enveloped in flames, and Blue Snowâs thoughts ran wild.
The reason was because she knew that Blue Maple didnât need that long to channel his teleportation.
Blue Snow watched Blue Maple and White Cherry disappear from the bridge, and she became entranced as she stared.
âSo that girl is the little gangsterâs girlfriend.â Blue Snow sounded a little dejected as she mumbled to herself.
She turned to leave and she still hadnât noticed that Wolf God was watching herâŠ
Wow. What a beautiful girl! Should I go up to talk to her? But⊠she looks like sheâs looking at the bridge. Can she⊠be lady White Cherryâs rival in love? And she witnessed what happened by coincidence. Wolf God speculated to himself.
Wolf God decided not to step forward to make conversation. If she was related to Blue Maple in some way, Wolf God was already feeling afraid even thinking about Blue Mapleâs frightening power.
Wolf God didnât want the Blue Fire Devil to set his sights on him. The feeling of being burned alive or a sword piercing through his chest was undoubtedly not fun.
Forget it. Iâll just admire the cherry blossoms like an honest man. But⊠it feels good being able to stare at the beauty in secret, hehehehâŠ
Wolf Godâs nature as a sexual pervert was still like it had always beenâŠ
âŠâŠ
âŠâŠ
The charred cherry trees became quieter as everyone started leaving, and several people passed by occasionally as they heaved lamenting sighs.
Videos regarding this event started appearing in Japanese forums and in all kinds of discussion.
The videos with the highest number of hits were titled: âThe Return of the Blue Devil Kingâ, or âThe Deities Guildâs Beautiful Ladyâs Powerful Boyfriendâ, or other nonsensical combination of those words.
The videos were essentially the same ones, except they were shot from different angles. They were all related to Blue Mapleâs ferocious channelling of fire and his handsome and elegant slaughtering of his enemies.
The other discussions other than what the two guilds had gained or lost were mostly about the destroyed cherry trees.
FurthermoreâŠ
Just as Blue Maple had expected, almost everyone was placing the responsibility of the cherry treesâ destruction on White Cherry and Blue Maple. The reason was because the Common Guild would probably only destroy a tiny portion of the patch of trees if it hadnât been for White Cherry and Blue Maple, and they could continue admiring the cherry blossoms after the battle was over.
Every human would think like that, or something of the sort.
Much like a passenger plane that was full of people that was shot down halfway before it was about to crash into a city, and thus many more deaths were avoided in the process, but the cityâs residents would blame the person who had shot the plane down. They would blame that person for being so heartless and cruel.
Perhaps the plane could have landed in the city in one piece and not hit the cityâs residents at the same time. Perhaps, the plane just wouldnât hit those people who were thinking like that?
In the end, everything was just a matter of what-ifs.
Luck, shirking responsibility, or taking the moral high ground⊠everything had been like this since the beginning of timeâŠ
Just as the Japanese forums were exploding with those topics, the Chinese regionâs Kunyue Main City was extremely quiet, while Silent Observer was staying in the library as she had always been.
She was sipping on her coffee quietly and reading quietlyâŠ
âSnow should be returning soon. I wonder if she enjoyed her view of cherry blossoms? Did she see the beautiful cherry blossoms? Iâm so eager for her news. I am⊠looking forward.â
Silent Observer sipped on her coffee as she spoke to herself profoundly as she placed down the book in her hands.
âPink cherry blossoms are classic and great for appreciating and admiring, but white cherry flowers are also excellent. Wonât an entire patch of white cherry flowers be very interesting?â
Silent Observer was still muttering to herself as her intelligent eyes flickered with strange lights.
âYesâŠâ
Silent Observer stretched lazily, and she felt a little fatigued after reading for so long.
âI didnât expect you to return to Gong Liang City. But something unexpected seems to have happened along the way⊠forget it. I didnât expect to control everything after all. Coin flips cannot be guessed correctly all the time after all.â
âI just hope the coin doesnât become vertical after dropping down⊠I didnât expect her to comeâŠâ
Silent Observer opened the message that she had just received as she muttered to herself.
That message contained some basic information about Mystery, and she felt a little surprised when she went through the message.
âItâs a pity that I can only find out some basic information and I canât interfere with the game too much. This canât compare to that fellowâs hacking techniques. Otherwise, other more interesting things can be done.â
Silent Observer also lamented a little, but she didnât have much choice. There were many things after all that couldnât be done with just intelligence and without physical prowess.
âI donât know where that fellow has run off to now. How irritatingâŠâ
âSpeaking of which, why hasnât Snow come back to find me? She should be back, right about nowâŠâ
Silent Observer was fatigued from reading, and she started grouching as she lay down on the table.
