Chapter 239: Violet Orchid's True Face!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

About a hundred Pharaoh Clan members were seen struggling at the valley's mouth. Not a single one of them had the guts to take the first step. If it was a common red-tagged player, most of them would have already run out excitedly behind him by now. However, the man they currently faced was a “monster” who was able to disappear without a sign under the noses of more than a hundred of them; he had also instant-killed more than 40 Tier 4 Cla.s.s players with a single blast. Such terrific skill shocked and awed everyone, rooting their legs rigidly within the valley.

In the end, they could only watch on helplessly as the blood-red figure swiftly blurred out and disappeared from their sight beneath the setting sun.

Still perturbed by the tragedy, the Squad Leaders of Pharoah Clan followed the Ron Couple back into the valley and waited for Grieving Arrow to be resurrected…

To be honest, sheltered by a League's Clan, they had never felt threatened by any other players before. But that day, Qin Ruo completely toppled their previous perception.

With such exceptional Stealth ability, coupled with masterful Element Manipulation and powerful magic attacks, not even a League's Clan could probably seal off the survival of this player completely. No matter how ruthless the Hunter Troop of Holy Clan could be, how were they going to deal with the enemy when they could not see him?

If one day in the future, the Ron Couple decided to give up and excuse themselves back to Holy Clan, was Pharaoh Clan going to receive the wrath of Qin Ruo in place of the Ron Couple?

Thinking of that possible consequence, the Squad Leader from Pharaoh Clan finally gathered enough courage to ask, “Mr. Ron…”

“What's the matter?” Ron turn around.

“After we rescue him, should we… leave immediately?” Pharaoh Clan's Squad Leader could still feel the pressure from the foreign player's crystal blue irises, so he spoke with an extremely cautious tone.

“No.” Ron shook his head and continued, “We still haven't accomplished what we set out to do. Transfer another 30 Radiant Priests from your Clan over here…” After he finished his request, he immediately sensed the reluctance from both leaders' facial expressions. Impatient, he ordered, “Tell your leader, this is my demand and just carry it out as I say!”

“But all our Priests are currently training with their respective party. I don't think we need that many Radiant Priests to resurrect our fallen comrades…”

“They aren't here to resurrect those morons. I've requested for a group of Bandits to be deployed here from Holy Clan. They'll continue to search for Qin Ruo near Bailey Town. Your Priests are to stand by and resurrect the Bandits whenever necessary.”

Judging from Ron's deployment, he no longer dared to underestimate Qin Ruo. However, the two Squad Leaders from Pharaoh Clan were clearly unhappy with the arrangement…

It was reasonable for Ron to transfer Holy Clan's Bandits there to search for Qin Ruo, but why did he not carry it out earlier? Making such an arrangement at that point obviously showed that he did not trust Pharaoh Clan's ability and he thought of the Clan as a burden who was only capable to work as a supporting cast.

What's most annoying is, since they can redeploy so many Bandits, why can't they transfer some Radiant Priests over here as well? What makes the Training Party of Holy Clan more important than the one from Pharaoh Clan? How could he simply tear apart the Training Party from Pharaoh Clan and exploit our Priests as he pleases?

Nevertheless, they still obeyed Ron's order despite all the dissatisfaction that went through their mind and decided to let their Clan Leader deal with him instead. As for the case of Black Market Trader, they were afraid that there was no hope left…

It was definitely ill-advised to provoke such a horrible player for some unattainable Chemist!

Grieving Arrow was resurrected as the order was being carried out.

Once he learned that his weapon was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Qin Ruo, the Bowmaster gifted with enormous acting talent twisted his face excessively. He took a look at Xiaoxiao's corpse, which had yet to disappear not far away and frowned at Ron. “My lost equipment is on you. Besides… are you sure he'll return for his girlfriend?”

“The Chinese are all full of pride. No Chinese likes to lose face, especially in front of a girlfriend…”

Ron's comment silenced Grieving Arrow. As a Chinese himself, he really wished to step and rub his shoes against Ron's face at that moment. Why did the Chinese Virtue seem so different when it came out from that b.a.s.t.a.r.d's mouth?

Since the Ron Couple predicted that Qin Ruo would certainly return for the body and heavily guarded the mouth of the valley, Qin Ruo sent a voice message to Slayer's Heart. Unfortunately, he learned that “the player is off-line at the moment.”.

Qin Ruo grew more anxious and messaged his only hope now, Violet Orchid. In the party, League members were the only ones who could save Xiaoxiao from Holy Clan's captivity. If Violet Orchid was not around, then none of his rescue plans would be feasible. Other Radiant Priests were not going to survive such a heavy duty mission, and it could bring a catastrophic end to them.

Luckily, Violet Orchid replied almost instantaneously!

“Little Qin? Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Sister Violet, are you free? I'm in trouble now, so could you—”

Before Qin Ruo finished his sentence, Violet Orchid immediately knew when Qin Ruo said trouble, he had to be in a very difficult situation. So she said yes without hesitation. “I'm free. Where are you now? What happened?”

“Bailey Town, Killer Bee Valley. This is what happened…” Qin Ruo quickly narrated his encounter in Killer Bee Valley to Violet Orchid. The latter then replied swiftly, “You're red-tagged? This is rather troublesome. Your Brother Slayer still has something to attend to at the moment, so he'll only be online at least 40 minutes later. He'll most probably not be able to make it. We're not going to make the cut with just the two of us since you're red-tagged… I think it's best for me to go and look for some help from the League.”

Violet Orchid was indeed one of the few top-rated Radiant Priests in the Bauhinia League. In the absence of Slayer's Heart, she displayed her outstanding resolution and quickly found a solution.

“What about you?” Violet Orchid suddenly asked.

“I'll be fine. Sister Violet, just help me save Xiaoxiao. I'll be alright after I lay low for 42 hours.”

“What are you talking about?” Violet Orchid said angrily. “You're wanted for 42 hours, not 42 minutes. Plus, you said it yourself, Ron isn't going to give up easily. Do you seriously believe that he'll give you the chance to hide yourself away? Furthermore, how long can your Aquamorph last with the MP Potion you currently have?”

“I'll be hiding in the Goblin Mountains. That place is huge and dimly lit. I'm confident that they're not going to find me there. Besides, I still possess Mana Drain. So in case I really exhaust my MP, I can extract some MP from the monsters around here. I'll be fine.”

Only then did Violet Orchid recall that Qin Ruo's Mana Drain had reached Master Tier. Each time he cast the skill, the MP he collected would be sufficient for him to sustain himself for at least a minute. She agreed that it was not an entirely bad idea after all.

Qin Ruo spoke again and warned Violet Orchid, “Sister Violet, you have to be extra careful with those people from Holy Clan! I'm afraid that they won't cooperate so easily, and you guys could be trapped in a dangerous situation. On top of that, Xiaoxiao isn't from your League… All in all, just try to bring along as many people as you can manage.”

Violet Orchid laughed tenderly on the other side of the channel as soon as Qin Ruo finished his sentence.

“Alright, alright. Don't worry about me. You better worry more about your own circ.u.mstances. Pharaoh Clan won't be able to hurt me one tiny bit, while Holy Clan is at best a glamorous Clan that depends greatly on the influence of Netherspirit's Claw. They don't even have a Tier 5 Supreme Champion in their Clan. Our Bauhinia Clan is light years ahead of them. I'm actually quite looking forward to their reaction when they realize it's our Clan that they've offended. It's been a while since I last fought someone from the same faction. Great timing Qin Ruo, as your Sister Violet happens to be bored at the moment.”

Qin Ruo opened his mouth and did not know what to say.

How great was Sister Violet! Such a typical fearless lady. She had a much more imposing character than Brother Slayer!

“Alright, I'm going to cut you off now. I've reached Bailey Town. You have to be extra careful. Leave the matter in Killer Bee Valley to me. You don't need to worry anymore. I'm going to rescue Ruo Ruo's dearest lover and get her out of there unharmed.”

At Bailey Town's portal, Violet Orchid's smile vanished right after she finished her voice chat with Qin Ruo. She then sent out a message through the Clan's channel, which was used internally and only by the core members, “Request for help! Looking for a few warriors who can fight, carry heavy loads, and work hard. It'd be best if you're out of shape due to lack of activity or if you've suffered from hormonal imbalance recently. In addition, priority is given to those who want to seek vengeance on Holy Clan—Thread initiator, Violet Orchid.”

Less than 10 seconds after the thread was sent out, the initially quiet channel was immediately filled with a series of hearty and bold laughter.

“Is the sun coming out from the west? Sister Violet actually initiated a mission of this kind.”

“Haha. Darling, come and pay your respects to G.o.d. Since when has our cold mistress become this humorous…”

“This is rare. Who dares trigger our dearest Sister Violet? Tell me, Steel Dude, and I'll crush his… ahem, his head!”

“Bah! That's the best you can do, Steel Dude? Can you be more civilized? Sister Violet, tell me where. I'm Mellow Blade. I'll immediately detach from my party and rush over!”

“Sister Violet, is it something that even the Slayer guy can't solve? Haha! Don't worry, here I am!”

“Allow me to ask, Sister Violet, do you want female warriors?”

“You take females too? Great, sisters, let's detach from our current party and regroup in town… Ah, wait! What's hormonal imbalance Sister Violet? I really have no idea what that is… hehe!”

“…”

“Holy Clan? Great, count me in! I've long despised them!”

“Count me in too. You've guided me before, Sister Violet!”

Violet Orchid was completely overwhelmed by the heated replies. She never thought that her first ever activity thread would attract so many responses. It seemed that a lot of the Clan's members had nothing better to do on normal days and were indeed suffering from hormonal imbalance…

Just as she was about to give out her location, a familiar male voice suddenly overpowered everyone else's voice. “Violet Orchid, location.”

Three words, and all the noisy chatter in the channel immediately vanished—It was Scarlet Bauhinia!
