After all, just a few days ago, they had even beaten up members of the Brocade Guard.
Watching the two of them swagger into Dragon Head Prefecture City, Xu Youran's face was covered with frost.
What did this mean? Did they not take her, Xu Youran, seriously? Did they dare to disregard the Xu Family as well? Such arrogance!
"Eldest Miss, the origins of these two are unknown, and they are so arrogant. Should we perhaps..." A guard behind her squinted his eyes and made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.
Xu Youran snorted coldly. "Both of them are at the Second-Grade Martial Artist Realm. Do you think you can kill them?"
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately shut his mouth.
Indeed, a Second-Grade Martial Artist wasn't someone he could provoke. Wouldn't going after them be suicidal?
"Have someone keep an eye on them, see where they settle down."
Xu Youran pondered. "I'll visit them tonight and try to win them over."
A visit at night?
Hearing this, several guards frowned.
For a young lady to go meet two men late at night, that wouldn't reflect well on Xu Youran's reputation. Moreover, Xu Youran was the Eldest Miss of the Xu Family. If word got out, wouldn't their family become a laughingstock? To protect the Xu Family from being annihilated by the Profound Yellow Sect, they were actually pushing their own daughter out? Truly ridiculous!
But seeing that Xu Youran did not seem to be lying, the guards were stunned. Could it really be that they had to keep an eye on these two men?
"Eldest Miss, they don't know why you're doing this!" the previously speaking guard started advising again.
Xu Youran narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Since when do I need you telling me what to do?"
Hearing this, the guard completely shut his mouth.
A hint of disappointment flashed through Xu Youran's eyes.
Then she sighed. "I know you are looking out for me, but the Xu Family cannot just fall, especially not to the Profound Yellow Sect."
One of the Ten Great Clans had already fallen, and now the remaining clans were all watching the Xu Family.
Should the Xu Family fall at this time, they would truly become a joke.
For the sake of the Xu Family, she, Xu Youran, was willing to sacrifice everything! Even herself.
「Inside the City.」
The Dung Beetle bought quite a lot of things along the street; of course, his favorite Tofu was the most abundant.
Hero Xu Xian, looking at the Tofu in his arms, said in surprise, "You can make that Biological Tofu without even fermenting it now?"
"A New Formula I wanted to try out when I was in Capital City."
The Dung Beetle, looking at all the Tofu, felt quite satisfied.
"Why didn't you try it then?" Hero Xu Xian asked, puzzled.
"With the Sect Leader there, how would I dare?" The Dung Beetle rolled his eyes. "He's an NPC that beats people, and it really hurts, as if our pain adjusters are just for show. I was the first player he beat up, and I still shudder when I think about Xu Nian's attacks. I'm not afraid of death, but I am afraid of pain! It really seems like the game designers purposely created an NPC like him just to tick us players off. What a Damn Game Designer!"
"I just checked the news. Junlin and his team will be here in one day, then we can also join in."
Hero Xu Xian said, twisting his wrists, "It's more fun playing with everyone. It was really boring over in Capital City. That Archer guy has become hopelessly addicted to the brothel."
After walking a few steps, the Dung Beetle suddenly stopped.
He looked at Hero Xu Xian with a complex expression and only after half a moment did he speak, "Do you think the two of us can complete this Task?"
Hmm? What did he mean? The two of them complete this Task? This was Xu Family territory, and there were plenty of NPCs helping the Xu Family. Wouldn't it be suicide if just the two of them went up?
"Are you crazy? I might be resilient, but that doesn't mean I'm invincible."
Hero Xu Xian rolled his eyes. "If I had Eight Gates Escape Armor, I could take down the Xu Family myself, but unfortunately, I don't have it..."
"I can give it a try!"
The Dung Beetle suddenly spoke up.
Hero Xu Xian frowned and said, "You want to buy Eight Gates Escape Armor from Junlin? Are you dreaming? That's from their Lingxiao Hall. Would they sell it to us?"
Dung Beetle said with a stern face, "What I mean is we could try challenging the Xu Family, just the two of us."
When Hero Xu Xian heard this, he was dumbstruck.
What was going on? Had this guy lost his mind? Had he played the game so much that he couldn't grasp reality anymore? There were just two of them; how were they supposed to fight a whole crowd from the Xu Family? Were they looking to die?
"Come on, Big Brother, are you trying to mess with my head?" Hero Xu Xian said. "How can the two of us fight them? Do you have a way to clear this Dungeon?"
Hero Xu Xian immediately felt that Dung Beetle was being unreliable.
This guy wasn't brave; he was totally senseless. If they got killed now, they'd have to come all this way again, and by then, it'd be too late. Task Reward? What Task Reward would they get then?
"Don't panic. Would I lie to you?"
Dung Beetle looked around and said with a smile, "Give me a few hours. Once my Secret Stinky Tofu is ready, we'll definitely breeze through this Dungeon injury-free."
Clear a Dungeon injury-free? That's frickin' amazing!
Hero Xu Xian was slightly skeptical.
He knew about the formidable power of Dung Beetle's Stinky Tofu—after all, a good number of their Cloud Lament members had been overwhelmed by it.
The Construction Team couldn't stand the smell to this day.
To force players to turn off their sense of smell, one could only imagine how talented Dung Beetle was in this respect. When Stinky Tofu was first introduced, it was highly poisonous. Many players were directly "stunk to death" by the Tofu, wasting ten Contribution Points for Reincarnation. If even they, the players, couldn't stand it, could the Xu Family? They weren't Kong Qingquan from Little Sage Manor. It wasn't like Kong Qingquan would run all the way here to open a Sword Qi Passage for the Xu Family, right?
"How do you plan to do it?"
Hero Xu Xian frowned and asked, "Can you really clear this Dungeon injury-free?"
"Is there any doubt? I, Dung Beetle, never bluff about this!"
Dung Beetle clapped his chest and assured, "Just help me buy enough Tofu. After midnight, I'll take you to clear the Dungeon injury-free!"
To be honest, so far, no player had managed to clear a Dungeon injury-free. If Dung Beetle could do it, he would definitely become famous. He might even have to be added to the top ten of the player Combat Power Rankings. Biological Weapons were weapons too! How many players could currently manufacture Biological Weapons? No one but Dung Beetle! This guy was the first one in the game to mess around with stewing shit; just for that, his status was unchallengeable.
The two rented two rooms in an Inn.
Dung Beetle meticulously mixed his secret new formula in his room, while Hero Xu Xian stayed in the other room, feeling uneasy.
If the two of them really managed to solo this Dungeon, what would happen to the players coming after them? Would they still be able to get the Reward? If they did get it, then fine. But if they didn't, then he and Dung Beetle might really be dead. Each player's One Thousand Contribution Points would be taken. That would be deadly. They wouldn't let it go until they beat him to the point he wouldn't recognize his own mother.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK—
The sudden knocking at the door interrupted Hero Xu Xian's thoughts.
"The door's unlocked, come in."
Thinking it was Dung Beetle, Hero Xu Xian, who was lying on the bed, just spoke out.
Anyway, they were planning to move against the Xu Family tonight; staying up all night was no big deal. They could just not log in for a couple of days.
"Is Young Hero alone?" Xu Youran stood at the doorway, taken aback.
And lying on the bed, Hero Xu Xian also suddenly sat up, staring at her in amazement.
"Holy shit, who are you? Who let you in? Don't you know this is Private Territory?"
Hero Xu Xian raised his fist and said, "Don't think I don't hit women. One punch from me, and you might cry for three days and three nights. The last woman I hit, her face was swollen for an entire day!"
