Chapter 122: Tonight Many Will Be Sleepless
"So that's how it is..."
No One listened to Snow Vixen's story and felt a tinge of sadness.
But it's truly surprising what First World can do.
A story so beautiful, it brought a grown woman to tears.
Snow Vixen's head was buried in her knees.
"Partly, it's because I empathize with her."
No One glanced over.
Empathy...
"My mother passed away early... An accident."
"My father raised me alone."
"When I was seven, he wore a pink skirt and practiced dancing with me."
"When I graduated and got into college, he happily cried as he lifted me up, shouting, 'That's my daughter, that's my daughter,' making me blush."
"Even now, I still miss my mom a lot, but I don't say it, I don't want to make him sad."
"The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King's parents both passed away."
"Growing up with no one to care for you."
"I can't imagine how painful that must be."
"Seeing the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King running alone through that village in fear, searching for his parents."
"It's not an easy sight for a child."
No One was silent, took a sip of coffee, then spoke.
"I still have my mother."
"My father died of a heart attack when I was less than a month old."
"Growing up, naively I asked my mother, why don't I have a father."
"Innocently watching my friends grow up and saying, having a dad must be nice."
"There was a bit of envy in my heart."
"But as I grew up, those feelings subsided."
"Even though many things happened, there were times I was foolish enough that I thought of death."
"I still couldn't give up."
"Because I still have someone to take care of."
"I moved to this city to earn money."
"Something happened to our house, and we had to sell it, now my mother and I both have to rent."
"I only hope to make enough money to buy her a house before I die."
"Then I could rest easy."
Snow Vixen hit No One's shoulder.
"Stop saying such nonsense."
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"If you gone, how would that make your mother happy?"
He laughed.
"I was wrong."
No One ruffled Snow Vixen's hair.
Hey. Who let you do that !?
"Anyone raised by their parents deep down loves them, don't they?"
"When you're young, you hate them for scolding you; when you're older, you just wish time would slow down, even for one more day, you'd trade everything for it."
"My mother once said."
"If I'm still alive, feed me, don't wait to offer food when I’m dead, I don't want it."
Snow Vixen laughed.
"Your mother really is straightforward."
No One laughed too.
"Raising a child single-handedly isn't easy."
"My mother loves eating sea snail noodles, and whenever I have money, I buy her some from her favorite place."
Snow Vixen nodded.
"My dad likes eating sea snail noodles too. Is the place you buy from good? I'd like to get my dad some to try."
"Sure! Let's add each other, and I'll give you the address."
"Okay!"
The two took out their phones to exchange contacts.
This time is not just ingame ID.
No One suddenly looked at the clock.
"It's really late now, is your place nearby?"
Snow Vixen checked the time; it was nearly midnight, indeed late.
"Yeah, it's nearby. I can walk there."
"Alright, I'll walk you home."
"Ah... No need, it's really close."
"No arguing, it's midnight, and a girl walking home alone—my mother would scold me if I just left you!"
"Okay then." Snow Vixen laughed.
No One looked at Snow Vixen's attire.
A shirt, without even a jacket.
It was very cold today.
He simply took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
Snow Vixen's face turned red.
"You..."
"If I see a girl feeling cold and don't lend her my jacket, my mother would scold me."
"Your words are really something," Snow Vixen turned away.
"You're too kind," No One laughed.
Snow Vixen bashfully accepted the jacket.
. . .
Arriving home.
No One said goodbye and left.
Leaving Snow Vixen to collapse onto her bed.
Her face was very red.
She recalled the words of the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King.
"You like No One."
She struggled, hitting her hands on the bed.
Ahhh!!!
Before, it wasn't true at all.
Now, I don't know!!!What is this!? Can she predict the real-life future too?
Please predict financial fortunes for me! Master!!!
Snow Vixen blushed and opened her phone, intending to scroll a bit.
She saw the interface where she had just added No One as a friend.
She even gave him her phone number?
And he ruffled her hair?
Aaaah...!
Can't sleep!
He even made me drink coffee!
A girl who has never had a single love encounter, loses sleep tonight.
. . .
That night, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King kept sneezing non-stop.
Oh no, did I overwork today and catch a cold?
...
No One strolled back home.
Looks like I'll be grinding First World all night.
Wait a minute.
Am I forgetting something?
. . .
"Where is he now?"
Director Minh glanced at his watch, while Tofu was busy writing a report.
That night, in the DMG building, Director Minh was stood up, and Tofu was left writing an account of the event.
. . .
That night, Lady Lam also couldn't sleep.
Returning home, she bathed and lay down on the bed.
Recalling Sword of Love from the party.
Her face turned as red as a tomato.
That scoundrel.
Her mind buzzed with his words and actions.
"I just trick whoever I like into loving me first, that's all."
I definitely have to sew that mouth of yours shut..
...
Sword of Love had just arrived home and rushed straight to his gaming console.
He still had so much to do in the game.
"Haha, I won't bother sleeping tonight!"
"Hana! Hurry and join me!"
Hana rubbed her eyes.
"Big Bro, it's already midnight; we can do it tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow we have to raid a dungeon, you need to level up too!!!"
"Ah, I don't want to! I want to sleep!"
That night, both Sword of Love and Hana didn't sleep.
. . .
The different factions of First World were all taking action. The Human Race, the Yaoguais, the Demon Race.
The Yaoguais were recruiting forces.
The Demon Race remained completely silent, with no one knowing what they intended to do.
All of them were preparing for their own ambitions.
The Human Race was already in chaos.
Every faction was preparing their own response.
Many factions were organizing a gathering for the Human Race to prepare for the inevitable upcoming war.Sleep, at this time, was a luxury.
First World was about to turn a new page.
. . .
"Thousand Tails... I will become stronger... Don't date him... don't date him...!"
Startled.
The Golden Monkey woke up in the middle of the night.
Drenched in sweat.
The Golden Dog grabbed a stick and hit his head.
"If you can't sleep, get out! Let me sleep!!!"
. . .
"Thousand Tails Yaoguai King... She's so beautiful... haha..."
Heaven's Pride lay bare-chested on his bed, chuckling in his sweet dreams.
His muscles in real life were also rugged and well-defined.Two large muscular arms.
Wearing pink shorts.
This person, tonight, was having a very good sleep.
