Ch. 66 - You Performed Well Tonight
The matches for the top sixteen of the national competition gradually came to an end.
Ye Xiaoxiao's side was much smoother.
She was matched with a Level 28 S-Rank quality Mage, which could be said to be a piece of cake for her.
She directly beat up that female Mage until she cried.
The match was originally thought to be a visual feast of magic bombardment.
But it turned out to be a one-sided punching and kicking session.
"You... You disgrace to Mages! What happened to the promised magic duel?"
"Who promised you anything?"
With a few swings of her scythe, Ye Xiaoxiao directly cut off this little Mage's staff.
Then she swung her leg over and rode on the little Mage, giving the latter a sound beating.
She beat her opponent until the little Mage’s eyes were teary, repeatedly slapping the ground and crying for surrender.
It could be said that so far, apart from "Death Breath," Ye Xiaoxiao had never used her other two skills.
This also sparked a lot of discussion online.
In short, Ye Xiaoxiao became famous.
With the title of "Melee Mage," her fame resounded throughout the internet.
Recently, Ye Mo's phone was bombarded with calls, most of them asking about player seats.
Among them, nouveau riche families offered up to 5 million, wanting to become players under Ye Mo's command.
And they wanted only 10% of the dungeon earnings and could accept unpaid overtime.
As for children of aristocratic families, their prices were sky high!
Their offers had long broken ten million, and he even expected them to break thirty million.
It was a pity that he wasn't a member of the Six Saint Sanctuaries; the price breaking a hundred million, or even billions, wouldn't be a problem.
And now, it depended on how Ye Mo chose.
If he chose commoner players, his income was obviously much less.
But if he chose a child of an aristocratic family, he would definitely be dragged into their struggles.
Ye Mo himself wasn't afraid, but he feared implicating his family.
Regarding this, he was still undecided.
"Old Mo, Old Mo! Look at the video I sent you privately. We're trending!"
Holding her phone, Ye Xiaoxiao was wearing a pink dinosaur hoodie.
Her chest pressed against a funny-faced pillow as she lay on the soft, large bed.
Her exquisite and pretty oval face poked out from the mouth of the pink dinosaur hood.
Her round calves that were wrapped in white stockings, which outlined their graceful curves, hung in mid-air while swaying happily.
The edge of the stockings slid down slightly with her movements, revealing a small section of tender white skin and indentation marks.
"I say, can you go back to your own room? Or you can learn from Meng Li and enter some dungeons a few more times to improve yourself."
Ye Mo frowned slightly and kicked Ye Xiaoxiao, who was lying at the foot of his bed.
He scolded her for failing to meet expectations.
"It hurts! Can't you be gentler!?"
Ye Xiaoxiao touched her dinosaur butt and muttered a complaint.
"Besides, I'm not a Demi-human. How can I work 24 hours straight? One must understand the balance between work and rest."
"Heh! Just an excuse for laziness."
Ye Mo sneered, then he opened the video Ye Xiaoxiao shared with him.
It was exactly the battle replay and commentary of this national competition.
The commentator said that Ye Xiaoxiao was the biggest dark horse this time.
And she was also the player who had reserved her strength the most so far.
He even commented on the weapon in Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, saying that its quality was suspected to be Epic-grade or above.
"Tsk, what a dead block of wood!"
Seeing Ye Mo's indifferent attitude, Ye Xiaoxiao smacked her pink lips.
Pouting, she raised her soft little feet as she whined and delivered a chain of kicks.
‘Thump thump thump’ kicking Ye Mo's butt.
Knock knock knock!
Coincidentally, at this moment…
Crisp knocking sounds came from outside the door.
"Could it be that the thieving cat came back?"
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao was like a high-spirited rooster, her eyes instantly becoming sharp.
"I'll go get the door!"
She jumped off the bed valiantly and spiritedly, stepping on the hotel's disposable slippers before running over with a ‘thump thump thump’.
Then with a ‘click’, she opened the door.
Two massive mounds wrapped in a round-neck knit sweater instantly entered her view.
Jiang Linyue?!
Looking at the woman before her, Ye Xiaoxiao was surprised.
Her height was exactly a head shorter than Jiang Linyue's.
Her line of sight more or less met the position of the other’s chest, and she could intuitively feel the oppressive force that the latter exuded.
"Wh-wh-wh-what... What’re you doing in my brother's room?"
At the sight of Jiang Linyue, Ye Xiaoxiao's momentum instantly weakened.
Let alone the other party's noble Saintess identity and temperament…
Just the fact that she was their biggest financial backer made Ye Xiaoxiao feel inferior to her…
Giving her a sense of déjà vu of being an incompetent sister.
"Oh, I'm looking for Ye Mo to cultivate heart sutras together. Just like before, you just wait outside until we finish."
'Heart sutra?'
'Isn't the heart sutra of the Joyous Union Sect exactly...'
In the staff dormitory, Jiang Linyue often sought Ye Mo for cultivation, or even to go out together…
So her heart was already prepared.
After all, everything Ye Mo did was for her.
But whenever she heard these words, Ye Xiaoxiao's heart would always sink with a ‘thud’!
Humiliation! Unwillingness! Powerlessness!
Various complicated emotions churned within her, making her chest heave continuously.
Finally, she could only grit her teeth and helplessly make way.
Like a defeated dog, she walked out dejectedly with her tail between her legs.
"By the way, close the door for us while you're at it."
Bang!
Soon, the door was closed heavily.
Ye Mo also noticed the commotion and sat up to look towards the door.
"Why’re you here?"
Ye Mo looked at Jiang Linyue with astonishment.
She was dressed very simply, a U-neck knit sweater paired with denim shorts.
She was also carrying two small black suitcases in her hand.
"This is for you. Let's make this quick."
With a ‘click’, Jiang Linyue opened the two small suitcases.
With a wave of her hand, she threw two hundred thousand worth of local specialties onto Ye Mo's bed.
Then she took off her sneakers, stepped with her fair, tender, long legs, and climbed up to the bed directly.
According to their agreement, as long as she added money, she could push things further with Ye Mo.
"N... no?"
Ye Mo's brain crashed for a moment, and he sat up straight reflexively.
'What kind of divine operation is this?'
...
More than ten minutes later.
Jiang Linyue felt refreshed. After tidying up her clothes, she got off the bed with satisfaction.
"You performed well this time. I'll transfer another 50,000 to your phone later."
She didn't know why, but she was no longer so resistant to this kind of thing.
She even felt increasingly skilled and… stimulated?
Especially when she looked at Ye Mo's gnashing teeth while she held him down, she inexplicably felt a burst of excitement.
Now, even if the mission was a bit excessive, she could accept it.

She glanced at her magic crest system. She had to admit, the magnitude of improvement this time was quite high!
"Let's end it here for today."
Jiang Linyue nodded with satisfaction, then she opened the door.
She happened to see Ye Xiaoxiao squatting at the door, curled up.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the latter’s ears moved slightly.
She slowly raised her head that had been buried in her knees and looked haggardly at Jiang Linyue, who had already finished.
"Your brother’s not bad. I'll give you a red envelope too while I'm at it."
Meeting Ye Xiaoxiao's gaze, Jiang Linyue revealed an appreciative smile.
Then she took out a thousand yuan from her bag and stuffed it into Ye Xiaoxiao's pink dinosaur pocket.
Looking at Jiang Linyue's retreating, and then at the thousand yuan in her pocket…
A strong sense of humiliation surged from within Ye Xiaoxiao's mind!
She felt that her whole person was unwell.
"Damn it! Too fucking humiliating."
She gritted her teeth and threw the thousand yuan on the ground with tears in the corners of her eyes.

T/N - Lol, oh man. The saintess has fallen hard. But considering what the MC did to her, I’d say he’s getting his just desserts. I’d even go so far as to say that he isn’t getting punished enough.
Poor Ye Xiaoxiao though. Keep fighting for your brother’s rights! 😂
E/N: Although based on the word “divine operation,” I don’t think her brother wants to be saved lol.
