BXBX NOVEL Chapter 190 - 7.28
The binding on XuanLake disappeared after the portal closed, leaving him alone in this room, where the trace of love between him and Yunyu still lingered in the air. XuanLake was still sitting on the sofa. His eyes didn\'t move from the spot where the portal disappeared.
He wished that Yunyu suddenly changed his mind and the portal would appear with Yunyu saying something like, \'Surprise! Of course, I will never run away from Brother Xuan! Brother Xuan is the best!\'
"Maybe Yunyu is just joking. I know he will return, right?" XuanLake said to himself. His handsome face was full of twisted expression, "I know he will return to me and maybe gifted me with something. Maybe he already knows that my birthday is near, so this is his way to give me a surprise."
"Right? My dear little Yunyu?"
XuanLake kept trying to convince himself that it was all a harmless prank, but he knew it was just wishful thinking. Yunyu really betrayed his trust by using sex to escape.
And he was an idiot for believing Yunyu.
If Bai Yunyu could fool PoisonLily and ZeroCheat by acting cute and harmless, there was no guarantee that he wouldn\'t do the same with him. Funnily, XuanLake fell for the same harmless and cute act.
"Ahaha…" XuanLake couldn\'t help but to chuckle, then his chuckle turned into a full-blown laugh, "AHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHA! SO FUNNY!"
"AHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" XuanLake laughed and laughed until his throat went dry. Then he stopped laughing and stood from the sofa. He looked at the stack of clothes that he bought from the NPC market for Yunyu.
For a short month, he thought that Yunyu would really agree to live with him and forget that they were in a virtual world.
He wanted to make Yunyu comfortable, so he tried his best to cook the best food every day, even though they could just buy NPC food in the market, but it usually tasted bland. So he learned how to cook. He also learned how to take care of Yunyu like a nanny, and he has also slain a lot of monsters to get enough money to buy a bigger house.
True, he could get it all by entering the debug world and changed a few things, but he was thinking about earning the heart of the man he truly loved for the first time in his life, so he worked earnestly.
And it all backfired.
Bai Yunyu didn\'t need that sweet gentleness that XuanLake tried to provide. All Yunyu need was coercion. XuanLake didn\'t care if he should be gentle anymore because Yunyu was a sly little fox.
"Oh, my cute Bai Yunyu, even if I have to cut your legs so you can\'t run away, and bind your hands forever, and blindfold your eyes until you see and hear nothing but my voice, I will have no mercy."
"Because you have no mercy for my heart."
XuanLake opened his storage, took out the best set of gears he had, and prepared for everything to face the Tower of God.
He would conquer that tower and reach the peak in no time because he had no patience right now.
\'If you don\'t like being tied in my residence, then I will go to your place, Tower of God\'s peak and tie you there. You will never escape me.\'
***
Meanwhile, Yunyu was finally able to escape and XuanLake\'s dark room and returned to the Peak of Tower of God.
Yunyu blinked when he saw the vast ocean with a throne in the middle, alongside the pink bed that he created beside the throne, the television airing animes nonstop, and that refrigerator full of chips and other kinds of snacks and soda.
Yunyu\'s eyes glimmered in all happiness one could contain, "YUNYU IS A FREE ELF!"
Yunyu used his magic to float on the water surface and ran towards his refrigerator. He opened the fridge and took a cola. He raised the cola up in the air and screamed, "TO FREDOOOOMMM!"
Yunyu opened the bottle cap and pour the cola on his head before drinking half of it, "I LOVE FREDOOOOOMM!"
"…" Pupa finally materialized again in front of Yunyu and asked, "What the heck are you doing?"
"I\'m just celebrating my freedom! Do you know how strict XuanLake is? He only let me drink purified water with specific PH or freshly blended juice. He also forbids me from eating any snack except fruit and only uses virgin coconut oil to panfry anything!"
"I bet he is some sort of rich young master in real life because he said that\'s what he eats daily!" Yunyu complained, "I\'m just a small time actor who often eats ramen after buying Han Ye\'s new photobook! That kind of life is not for me!"
Yunyu slumped on his comfortable bed and rolled around happily, "Ahhh, I miss this bed so much!"
"... are you not worried about XuanLake and the world\'s Breakmeter? It\'s literally 0% right now," Pupa reminded.
"Eehhhh, aren\'t you the one who said that as long as XuanLake climb the tower and destroy the crystal inside my body, then the virtual reality will restart and throw everyone out of the game, right?"
"… correct."
"Hehe, let\'s see what he is doing right now," Yunyu summoned the peeking mirror. It showed XuanLake was all geared up, ready to take the tower. He was already on floor 5, obliterating everything quickly. He did not bring any companion, nor did Yunyu think Xuan needed one.
Because XuanLake was now level 100, he would be level 200 with all godlike gear if he used his debug mode. They were probably on par right now, or Xuan might be slightly stronger than him.
"Hm… my only worry is the Nano bugs, though. They are still in my body, right?" Yunyu asked.
"No, XuanLake has removed all the Nano Bugs about a week ago. Because it is harmful to you in a prolonged time, so he removed all of it," Pupa informed.
"Ah… so he is not that evil…" Yunyu seemed to ponder for a moment and then shrugged, "Oh well, I guess I have to fight him in the end. But first, let me do another marathon of Sailor Moon before he arrived, hehe."
Yunyu turned on the television and started the first episode while humming the opening music. He opened a bag of chips and started eating again. Pupa could only roll its eyes and sat beside Yunyu, watching the anime with him.
***
XuanLake stared at the bloodied body of the boss on floor 10 that had 1% HP left. The monster groaned in pain as it tried to run away. XuanLake stepped on the monster\'s head and crushed it remorselessly.
"I should have done this sooner," XuanLake commented as he walked to floor 21.
[Floor 20 has been cleared.]
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 20%.]
"Hehe, told you, right? We just need to watch and wait until he comes at me and pew pew, bang bang, boom boom~" Yunyu said while opening another bag of chips. He pointed at the television. "Look! Sailor Uranus and Neptune are here!"
"I want to see them transform soon," Pupa commented as they ignored XuanLake, who slowly climbed the Tower of God alone.
