Chapter 264 The Mute Boss 14 (2/2)

Playing games is supposed to be fun, but now it's become so frustrating.

Zi Xi wanted the big boss to deal with her unwanted romantic advances, but the big boss hasn't been online lately.

Ling Chen wasn't online because he was dealing with matters related to the Liu family's cooperation.

But even if he wasn't online, he wasn't completely unaware.

He didn't retaliate immediately, but instead accelerated the Liu family's bankruptcy.

A month passed quickly.

Zi Xi was doing a solo adventure quest. She had finally reached the last step and was about to get the reward when Qing Cheng Yue suddenly appeared with several people. She stole the last hit from the quest boss with a skill and also finished off the low-health Zi Xi.

Now, the task has to be redone.

Qingcheng Yue: "Oops, sorry, my hand slipped. I didn't expect you to be so fragile."

Zi Xi looked at the provocative words on the black and white screen, and a surge of anger finally rose within her.

Before she could even type out her furious rant against these game bullies, a sword light carrying boundless rage flashed by.

The character of Gu Hong is like a deadly demon, descending suddenly.

He didn't waste a single word, his sword pointing directly at Qingchengyue and her group.

This time, his actions were no longer the indiscriminate and ferocious attacks of the past, but rather an extreme display of coldness and precision.

Every skill landed on the enemy, perfectly avoiding the corpse of Zi Xi's character.

The screams of the game characters were incessant.

Qingcheng Yue and her people didn't even have a chance to resist before they were crushed by overwhelming force and turned into streaks of white light, returning to the living report.

Even if someone was unwilling to accept defeat and revived on the spot by taking the medicine, they were immediately killed by Gu Hong, who was guarding the corpse, with a single sword to the throat and fell down again.

Only Zi Xi, who had just been resurrected on the spot after taking the medicine and was still in an invincible state, and Gu Hong, whose murderous aura had not yet dissipated, remained on the scene.

He turned around, his gaze from behind the mask falling on her, as if to confirm that she was safe and sound.

Then he immediately put a one-month bounty on the group of people from before.

They also broadcast a message in every channel using the server-wide megaphone.

Gu Hong: "She represents me. Who dares to touch her again?"

Without naming names, it carried a threat and an unquestionable defense.

All channels instantly fell silent.

Previously, Qingchengyue had repeatedly harassed Guhong, but the big boss had never spoken up.

But when it came to Xi Yan, this iceberg finally became truly enraged.

"Boss, you cut them down like it was nothing, it was as easy as mowing a lawnmower! You're amazing!"

Zi Xi looked at him and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"And... your new outfit looks pretty good too."

She paused, then added quietly, trying to lighten the mood.

Ling Chen's gaze fell on the same new outfit she was wearing, and the murderous aura around him seemed to dissipate slightly because of those words.

He looked away with satisfaction and typed a reply.

"If you'd like, I can customize a real one based on this style."

"I'm only wearing this for you to see."

Zi Xi's ears burned, and she almost tripped.

"Ahem... Well, um... Didn't you say you'd give me time to think about meeting up in person?"

"By the way, why haven't you been online these past few days?"

She gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject.

Ling Chen glanced at the abrupt change of topic on the screen, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips as he continued typing.

"I'll give you time to think it over. I'm waiting for you to agree to meet me."

Zi Xi promptly logged off and made a hasty retreat.
