Chapter 168 - 7.6
XuanLake ’woke’ up after few hours. He looked confused as he stared dumbly at Yunyu, "What happened?"
"Brother Xuan! You finally wake up!" Yunyu put on a grieving face and hugged XuanLake’s arm shamelessly, "I am really worried that you might leave me alone in this meadow and respawn back to your residence!"
"... what happened?" XuanLake asked again.
"Ah! You got swallowed by that monster. Then, another player came via the teleportation statue and helped to kill that monster! I’m so glad that you are safe, at least!" Yunyu’s tongue glibbed skilfully. He tried to make himself believable, but XuanLake was amused by this terrible lie.
’He thinks that he is so good at lying. But I can pinpoint how terrible he is, from his eyes dodging mine and him trying to stir away from the detail.’
"Really? I should thank that player then. Did he give you his game id? I will contact him now," XuanLake asked, trying to pit Yunyu to his own lies.
"A—Ah... that..." Yunyu stuttered, "U—Um... he said he doesn’t want to show his id. M—Maybe he is just shy..."
"Is that real?" XuanLake smirked. He raised his eyebrows and leaned a bit closer to Yunyu, "I wonder how could he teleport to that statue. Because Faran Meadow has been restricted for teleporting since it is too dangerous. Unless that person is at least level 80+."
"A—Ah... that... I don’t know either, hehe..." Yunyu gulped nervously, "I’m just a low-level player after all. All I did there was crying, calling your name, Brother Xuan, I’m sorry."
He tried to distance himself from XuanLake instinctively. Maybe because he was afraid that he would get caught.
’He is still trying to lie even after I’ve exposed him like this. But it is indeed fun,’ XuanLake thought, ’Only an idiot would fall for his lie. But this... makes him a bit cuter. Just a bit, though.’
