As the fight continued, little by little, Yang Qingxi was able to accumulate the combat experience she urgently needed. Thus, she gets accustod to her sudden increase in strength.
’This feeling is pretty good.’
Yang Qingxi grew increasingly fascinated as she fought on. Right then, she heard Su Mo’s inner voice, making her smile stiffen.
[Does she have a berserker gene? What’s with that perverted blush?]
Su Mo, who had just lost the ga match and was in a bad mood, complained in his mind after looking at Yang Qingxi’s ecstatic expression.
[Is this what people say? The looks of a Barbie and the heart of a Barbarian?]
He felt enlightened and looked at Yang Qingxi with a strange expression.
’This bastard!’
Yang Qingxi gritted her teeth in anger, but the attacking corpse puppets made her unable to distract herself. So, she vented her anger on them.
Zhang Xulin, on the side, was struggling a little because of her lack of strength, but was able to make up for it with her combat skills.
---
More than an hour had passed since Yang Qingxi and Zhang Xulin began fighting these corpse puppets. After observing the Ghost Apple Twig’s status and the remaining yin energy, Su Mo estimated it would take another half an hour to absorb it completely.
Finally, after the last corpse puppet fell, the two girls slumped to the ground in exhaustion, looking dishevelled.
Seeing this, Su Mo stood up and walked over. He gave them a kind smile and suggested.
"It was just over an hour, and you two can’t do it. I suggest, better improve your stamina."
The disdainful scorn on his face made the girls angry.
Sohow, Yang Qingxi found the strength to rush up to him and bite his arm.
"What the hell? Are you a dog?" Su Mo scolded, while pretending to be in pain.
"Hmph! That’s what you deserve! Besides, you work for . So, you are my dog!" Only after she finished speaking did Yang Qingxi realise her mistake.
"Oh?" Su Mo raised his eyebrow. "Then, should I resign?"
"Resign if you want to." Yang Qingxi was stubborn.
"Miss..." Zhang Xulin, on the side, hesitated to speak. She felt the joke had escalated a bit too much. If this led to them having conflicts and pushing away Su Mo, that would be too disappointing.
"You don’t have to stop him, Sister Xulin," Yang Qingxi said with a sigh. "Originally, the gaming company under us made several breakthroughs in developing the virtual reality ga and is almost at the testing phase. I just felt soone liked gas so much. So, let him be the first tester. But, not only did he call a dog. He even wanted to resign."
She shook her head in disappointnt. However, the corner of her eye was observing Su Mo’s facial changes and waiting to hear his inner voice.
[What? Virtual reality ga?!]
[Is it true?! OMG!]
Su Mo tried to suppress his excitent and asked as if inadvertently.
"Miss Yang, is the virtual reality the sa as I guessed?"
’Heh~ Hooked!’
Yang Qingxi sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she said with a smile. "Well, actually, the company under had already developed the virtual reality technology last year. However, it was only being applied in the dical and military industries. We planned to enter the public eye with the help of virtual reality gas..."
Su Mo didn’t care about the rest of the words. There were only two things that were on his mind;
First, the technology has existed for a year.
Second, the ga is now in the testing phase.
He imdiately showed a flattering smile on his face.
"Miss Yang, you are indeed the best employer. Not only are you the embodint of beauty and elegance. You have a high IQ and are the most conscientious person I’ve ever seen."
Yang Qingxi gave a fake smile and pointed out. "You called a dog."
Su Mo’s brain worked rapidly and ca up with the words of praise. "I ant your charm is like Hecuba’s spirit reborn, a queenly radiance carried even through the shape of a hound."
Both Yang Qingxi and Zhang Xulin were stunned. They never considered this way of thinking. Can calling soone a dog be compared to Hecuba’s spirit? (The queen of Troy, who transford into a dog.)
Zhang Xulin gave Su Mo a thumbs-up and called him aweso in her heart.
Yang Qingxi’s anger had already vanished, but she didn’t intend to let him off so easily. More importantly, she wanted to hear him praise her more.
With an expressionless face, she asked. "Do you want to have a tragic end like her?"
"..."
Su Mo sweated with an awkward look.
[Damn, can’t you just take praise? Why are you pointing out faults?]
While complaining in his mind. He didn’t forget to think. Yang Qingxi was sure having fun seeing him in a dilemma.
"You have the elegance of the silver hound of Annwn, whose beauty shines even in the otherworld."
"Are you cursing to die?"
"..."
"You are like the Saluki of the gods, who walks with divine elegance."
"I don’t walk on four legs."
"..."
Zhang Xulin, who was watching on the side, was working hard to suppress her laughter. Finally, she couldn’t bear it and burst out laughing.
"Hahaha~"
Su Mo gave her a blank look and rolled his eyes. Yang Qingxi also smiled along as she covered her lips with her hands and said, "Okay, enough of that. Let’s get what we are here for in this tomb and go back to have lunch."
The three walked up to the sarcophagus. Su Mo just pulled the rusty chains and easily broke them apart. Before lifting the lid, he didn’t forget to cover the three of them with his spiritual energy.
Just in case there might be sothing harmful in there. Although Ye Chen was fine in the original story. They should still be cautious. After all, this is a mixed world with several protagonists. Who knows what weird changes might occur?
