Chapter: Chapter 375
After various accidents and joys, the final winner of this game was Leticia, a result that everyone present did not expect.
After becoming partners with Xiaoya, Leticia and Xiaoya’s luck didn’t improve much, but with double the resource acquisition, Leticia was forcefully transformed from underdeveloped to reasonably developed, gaining the ability to fight.
While everyone else had entered the final game area and was severely battling, Leticia was still slowly progressing through the map, her dice rolls consistently low, developing her character.
When she finally entered the final area, the first enemy she encountered was Xiaoya, who had just been defeated by her good sister and was left with very little health.
First strike after returning to shore, a strike for the one she loved!
Xiaoya had just fought Bai Ling and was completely overwhelmed. If Xiaoya hadn’t found a life-saving item along the way, she would have been eliminated from the game by her sister, just like Xiao Lu and Xiao Maoniang.
As it turned out, she had narrowly escaped her sister’s clutches, only to immediately encounter Leticia, who had just arrived at the battlefield and was in peak condition. Leticia, without hesitation, happily accepted the “delivery.”
She also received a chorus of boos from everyone present.
Leticia’s current development was entirely thanks to Xiaoya. Yet, she heartlessly eliminated her partner with whom she had shared hardships. How detestable!
In response, Leticia stated that she was rationally allocating resources. Xiaoya had just been heavily defeated by Bai Ling and was in such a poor state, it was clear she couldn’t continue fighting. Inheriting Xiaoya’s legacy and will to defeat the great demon king Bai Ling was clearly an ideal situation.
As soon as she said this, even the good-natured Xiaoya couldn’t help but punch Leticia.
Truly deserving of the title “Scum of Humanity.”
Having personally eliminated Xiaoya, Leticia, due to the partner effect, inherited all of Xiaoya’s resources and rapidly developed.
“Inheriting all of your partner’s resources after personally eliminating them, isn’t that too counterintuitive?” Even Kira was speechless at the twisted setting. Others could only select a few items from their opponents’ resources to snatch away, but Leticia could inherit everything from Xiaoya. It was outrageous.
“This is the cruel reality,” Leticia sighed, putting on a profound expression.
After receiving a grand gift package, she finally displayed her immense power, defeating the Guild Leader in the first battle, Lu Siyu in the second, and finally engaging in a climactic duel with Bai Ling.
Neither of them held back in this battle. Although Leticia was slightly less developed, her increased power allowed her to easily secure the final victory.
When it came to playing games, she feared no one!
“So, luck is nothing but an illusion. As long as you latch onto a strong leg, even someone like me, who is targeted by the goddess of destiny, can defeat someone like Bai Ling, who is a show-off.” As the final winner of the game, Leticia, holding a clearly crudely made golden medal, delivered her speech.
Naturally, Leticia, who had latched onto Xiaoya’s leg only to chop it off and devour it, once again received boos from everyone.
The game ended, and it was almost midnight. Bai Ling invited everyone to stay the night and return home the next day.
The house had been extensively renovated by Bai Ling and had empty rooms upstairs and downstairs to accommodate guests. It could easily house several times the current number of people.
“I won’t stay here. The East District has decent security, so it’s fine to go back now.” Xiao Lu shook her head. Her home was indeed a bit far, but it wouldn’t take much time to get back.
Unlike the Guild Leader and Lu Siyu, who lived in the central district, it would be two or three in the morning by the time they got home by car. It would be better for them to stay here.
It’s not like they hadn’t stayed before; familiarity breeds comfort.
Xiao Lu was clearly a bit reserved. Leticia and Bai Ling exchanged glances, then flanked Xiao Lu from both sides, attempting to persuade her.
Through their combined efforts, Xiao Lu finally nodded and accepted Bai Ling’s invitation to stay.
As for Zixia… she couldn’t wait to stay and sleep here.
“Xiaoya, Xiaoya, let’s sleep together!” As soon as she heard they could stay, Zixia grabbed Xiaoya’s arm and began her cutesy offensive. Last time she invited Xiaoya out for a meal but failed to lure her into bed, this time she was determined to achieve the goal of sleeping in the same bed as Xiaoya!
Xiaoya didn’t think too much of it, naively believing that Zixia simply wanted to sleep squeezed in the same blanket with her friend.
It wasn’t surprising for two good friends to sleep together, was it?
“Okay…”
Just as Xiaoya was about to agree, Kira directly inserted herself between them, separating Zixia and Xiaoya. “No!”
“Why? I just want to strengthen my bond with Xiaoya, what’s wrong with that?” Zixia glared angrily at Kira, this hateful black-haired girl, her greatest enemy.
If it weren’t for her sudden appearance last time, she would have already lured Xiaoya to the hotel for a night of shared bedding!
“No means no, you know exactly what you’re thinking.” Kira snorted, shielding Xiaoya behind her. She wasn’t like Zixia, lusting after Xiaoya; she simply didn’t want to see Xiaoya fall for Zixia’s charm.
Beyond that, she had no other intentions, and coveting someone’s body was out of the question.
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Xiaoya quickly intervened to mediate. “Actually, my bed is quite large; sleeping three people is not a problem.”
“Xiaoya is quite impressive. Does she want to hug both sides and start a harem?” Leticia, who had been observing her sisters, whispered to Bai Ling.
As she spoke, she held the already sleepy Xiao Maoniang in her arms, gently stroking her ear from time to time.
It seemed this one also had ideas of being embraced from both sides.
“Xiaoya probably doesn’t understand these things yet. And you, put Victoria down first; let the maid take her to bed.” Bai Ling snatched Xiao Maoniang from Leticia’s arms and handed her over to a waiting maid.
How dare she get close to other girls right under her nose? Did she, the Sword Saint, have no dignity?
Wanting to embrace women from both sides? Don’t even think about it!
While Bai Ling might be reluctant to harm Leticia, she wouldn’t hesitate to deal with a seductress.
Amidst the commotion, everyone found their rooms. Zixia finally got her wish of sharing a bed with Xiaoya, but unfortunately, Kira stubbornly squeezed in as well, turning it from a two-person affair into a three-person one.
No matter how thirsty Zixia was, she couldn’t make any moves on Xiaoya with Kira present, right? (Probably.)
As for the Guild Leader and Lu Siyu, they naturally stayed together; they were true best friends.
Xiao Lu and Victoria were forcibly paired in the same room. Anyway, each room had two bedrooms, so one person per room was just right.
Xiao Lu and Victoria had no objections to this arrangement. It was just sleeping over at a friend’s house; there was no reason to have any objections.
What Xiao Lu didn’t know was that her decision to stay had caused despair for those with ulterior motives.
“No one? Are you sure there’s no one here?” A black-robed figure, clearly not a good person, looked at the report from his subordinate with shock, staring at the simple-looking building before him.
The intelligence was accurate; traces of that hero’s activities *had* been found here. It was unlikely for such a hero to neglect their duties and leave.
But why did their surprise attack yield nothing?
The second black-robed figure standing before the first was also bewildered. “Yes, we confirmed with the informant that usually only one person resides here, and that person has been staying here every night for years.”
From any angle, it was impossible for them to have raided an empty house. Could it be that the target suddenly had something else to do today and went out?
That’s a joke. Even if they were invited out for a meal, it’s almost two or three in the morning; they should have returned by now!
“The target has been here every night for years, and you’re telling me that on the very day we acted, she left?” The black-robed figure rested his chin on his hand, his eyes flashing erratically. This matter was too suspicious. “Was the information leaked?”
“That’s impossible. The actions of the other squads were all successful. I have sufficient reason to believe this was an accident,” the second black-robed figure replied calmly. Their actions were like shadows; no one could detect their movements in the darkness.
This was the power of gods, and it was also their trump card.
“Since the person isn’t here, call them back. Were the actions of the others successful?”
“The main objectives were roughly completed. Two squads engaged with the enemy, but the enemy did not realize our true intentions.”
“Hmph, so only we wasted our time. Let’s go; remember not to leave any traces. We can’t alert the enemy.”
The black-clothed figures silently departed the silent garden. They searched the garden for a long time but did not touch anything within it, as if they were not physical beings but rather spiritual entities.
Ordinary heroes might not have detected their movements, but unfortunately, some of the small flowers in Xiao Lu’s garden seemed to have sensed something. Dark spots appeared on their petals, and their once vibrant appearance became wilted, as if they had been scorched by the sun for ten days without being watered.
When the sun rose, and the garden’s owner returned home accompanied by her friends, she immediately noticed the abnormality of these flowers.
“There were guests here last night.” Reaching out to pick up a small flower that seemed to be on its last leg, Xiao Lu’s expression became solemn. “They possessed spiritual abilities. If I hadn’t raised these little guys here, I might not have known someone had visited last night.”
“Spirit Sensing Flowers? I’d guess those people didn’t expect you to have this kind of flower, so they exposed themselves.” Leticia, holding Xiao Maoniang’s hand, glanced at the wilting flower Xiao Lu was holding and chuckled. These rare flowers could sense the actions of spiritual beings and were considered extremely rare.
Leticia couldn’t believe Xiao Lu possessed them; she distinctly remembered they were a specialty of the elves.
She wondered if Xiao Lu had stolen or bought them.
“Those long-eared people are annoying, but they are indeed skilled in cultivating plants.” A pale green light flowed from Xiao Lu’s hand, enveloping the wilting flowers. Soon, they regained their vitality.
“Your place is practically a fortress. If it were me, I wouldn’t have a way to infiltrate it,” Leticia said as if joking. “Physical intruders would have triggered alarms long ago, and non-physical intruders would be detected by these little flowers.”
After leaving the garden, Xiao Lu naturally activated its security measures, whether to guard against petty thieves or malicious enemies. Physically, the garden truly deserved the title of fortress.
A plant-type ability user had been dwelling in one place for years, and that place was a garden. How could it not be a fortress? If it wasn’t, Leticia would twist her own head off and use it as a ball!
Give those elves a week, and they could build a plant fortress from scratch, one that even demons would have a hard time attacking.
Although Xiao Lu was alone, her strength was not comparable to ordinary elves. Placed among the elves, she could have easily been an elder.
A garden cultivated by an elder-level elf over several years, how confident were those infiltrators to attempt a breach?
“There are no signs of any intrusion, and the alarms I set were not triggered. If it weren’t for these little flowers, I probably wouldn’t have discovered that guests visited last night at all.” Xiao Lu checked her room but found no anomalies; everything was exactly as it was when she left.
It was as if her little flowers had made a mistake in their sensing.
“Then those infiltrators were highly skilled,” Leticia narrowed her eyes, looking at an empty space in the distance. Faint colorful light flickered in her eyes, and in her vision, there were two distinct black traces there.
Two intruders had been in this place.
Blinking, the colorful light in her eyes faded. Leticia looked there again but saw nothing. The black traces she had just seen were like an illusion.
But she knew it wasn’t an illusion.
These anomalies could only be detected with divine power. The waters in Central City were getting murkier and murkier. Which faction had sent these people this time?
Perhaps there was no need to guess; who else but the Divine Seat could dispatch such masters?
