Chapter 132: The Shameless Guy

“Come quickly or not, time is short. If you don’t come, I’ll leave you behind.” Xue Ye Hua was still hesitating, while Chen Mo urged her repeatedly.

Seeing Chen Mo’s expression that seemed to say “It’s best if you don’t come,” Xue Ye Hua gritted her teeth and walked over. If she discovered this guy just wanted to take advantage of her, she would slice him in half with her sword!

“You in front, me in back.” Xue Ye Hua moved to stand behind Chen Mo. Being hugged from behind by a man was an awkward position, so standing behind him at least gave her some control.

When she hugged Chen Mo from behind, Xue Ye Hua naturally kept as much distance from his back as possible. There was a considerable gap between them; at least her chest didn’t touch Chen Mo’s back.

“Leaving so much space won’t do. Get closer!” Unexpectedly, Chen Mo expressed great dissatisfaction.

Xue Ye Hua gritted her teeth. While keeping space between their upper bodies, she pressed her legs close to Chen Mo’s. If this guy still didn’t show a way to resist the Crimson Poison Mist, she was going to get angry!

“Still doesn’t seem enough. Forget it, let’s try it first.” Their combined volume seemed a bit large, and Chen Mo felt it might not work. Still, he summoned Sesshylow.

“What kind of Pet is this?” Xue Ye Hua was surprised. Then, she watched in amazement as the little girl, who seemed made of water, stretched out her hands, grabbed Chen Mo’s hands, and flowed up his arms like liquid, transforming into a transparent water-like substance that covered both Chen Mo and her, gradually forming a water cloak.

Could this shape-shifting water element Pet really form a cloak to block the Crimson Poison Mist?

Xue Ye Hua understood Chen Mo’s plan, but Chen Mo frowned and said, “As expected, it’s not enough.”

Chen Mo had previously tested Sesshylow’s Mimicry ability. According to the skill description, she could transform into any person or object she had seen. But in reality, that wasn’t the case. She couldn’t Mimic monsters or objects that were too large in volume. Even if she could hollow out a large part inside, if her elemental body couldn’t cover the surface area, she couldn’t transform.

When Sesshylow transformed into a cloak covering just Chen Mo, there was no problem. But with two people, the volume increased significantly, and Sesshylow couldn’t cover them completely.

“Hug a little tighter and see!” Chen Mo urged.

Xue Ye Hua also realized the problem. She could only grit her teeth and press her upper body tightly against Chen Mo’s back.

She was at a great disadvantage. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have followed him here!

Xue Ye Hua felt like crying, but given the current situation, there was no way she could just give up.

The cloak formed by Sesshylow shifted slightly downward over their feet, but it still wasn’t quite enough.

“What should we do?” Xue Ye Hua had no solution. Her chest was already squashed flat.

“Really, why did you set your chest so big for no reason?” Chen Mo grumpily had Sesshylow revert to her original form, allowing Xue Ye Hua to let go. He turned and glanced at Xue Ye Hua’s perky breasts, then swept his eyes over her curved buttocks, almost saying, “Why did you set your butt so perky for no reason too?”

“This is the real deal!” Xue Ye Hua was furious.

“No time for nonsense. You in front, me in back. If this still doesn’t work, I’ll have to let you fend for yourself.” Chen Mo walked behind Xue Ye Hua, reached out to hold her slender waist, and pressed his body tightly against her back, like an extremely intimate couple.

“It’s too tight!” Xue Ye Hua felt her bottom being pressed uncomfortably and immediately protested.

“If it’s not tight, it definitely won’t be enough!” Chen Mo said bluntly.

Sesshylow once again transformed into a transparent cloak extending over their bodies. It still seemed a little short, but after Chen Mo squeezed hard, the cloak Sesshylow formed finally covered both of them completely.

“Can this really block the Crimson Poison Mist?” Xue Ye Hua finally had time to ask her question.

“I don’t know.”

“You dare to try without knowing?”

Chen Mo calmly replied, making Xue Ye Hua almost go crazy.

“Of course, I have some confidence.” Chen Mo certainly wouldn’t do something with zero chance of success.

When attacked by the crimson monsters, he would suffer poison and bleeding Damage. He also discovered that if the poisoned areas were different body parts, the poison Damage would stack. But if the hits were on the same body part, the poison Damage wouldn’t stack.

When the Crimson Poison Mist descended, Players would be completely exposed. With widespread poisoning, a Player would likely die from poisoning within seconds.

After discovering that Sesshylow had no reaction to the crimson monsters’ poison, Chen Mo thought of using Sesshylow to block the Crimson Poison Mist.

By having Sesshylow envelop his body, even if part of him touched the crimson poison mist while moving, he could sustain himself by drinking Potions and wouldn’t have to worry about dying.

This method seemed very feasible. Especially after learning from Xue Ye Hua that the two major Guilds’ Quest likely involved rescuing an NPC imprisoned in the Valley, Chen Mo became even more determined to try this method.

Chen Mo didn’t know which NPC the two major Guilds were trying to save. However, Princess Peraldili probably wasn’t among them. Otherwise, the powerful employer would have assigned him to assist the two major Guilds instead of rescuing Princess Peraldili.

So, Chen Mo didn’t want to alert the two major Guilds. If possible, he wanted to act while they were rescuing their Quest NPC, using them as bait to rescue Princess Peraldili.

If he killed people and forced his way in, the two major Guilds would become vigilant, and this plan wouldn’t work.

The glowing magic array in the sky gradually dimmed. A Crimson Poison Mist descended from the sky, ready to envelop this world.

“Oh no, the members of the two major Guilds didn’t return to the city; they retreated into the Valley.” Normally, the two major Guilds’ members used special town scrolls to return directly to the bottom level of the Land of Exile. But this time, those guarding the Valley entrance from the two major Guilds seemed to have received some information at the last moment. They glanced at each other and retreated into the Valley.

The entire Valley was enveloped by a Magic Barrier. The Crimson Poison Mist couldn’t enter; it was a safe place inside. However, Players who entered couldn’t come out; stepping out meant death.

“They must have become suspicious because we didn’t return.” Chen Mo thought for a moment and said.

If it was just one person, it might be different. But two people not returning, and two rather noticeable ones at that—it was hard for the two major Guilds not to be suspicious.

“What do we do now?” Xue Ye Hua asked, feeling a headache coming on.

“What else can we do? Wait. I don’t believe they’ll stay there forever. If they don’t see us after half an hour, they’ll think we logged off. After all, no one can survive in the Crimson Poison Mist.”

The Crimson Poison Mist descended, turning the outside world crimson. Chen Mo and Xue Ye Hua moved in sync, walking to hide under a tree to avoid encountering newly spawned monsters.

The cloak formed by Sesshylow didn’t completely cover them. There were still some gaps at their feet where the Crimson Poison Mist could seep in. However, it only poisoned their feet, and the Damage wasn’t too high. They just needed to drink some Potions to maintain their Health Points.

“How long do we have to wait like this?”

Being tightly hugged from behind by a man, her bottom pressed uncomfortably, and in this confined space, her body temperature seemed to be rising. Xue Ye Hua couldn’t help but ask.

“Still early. It’s been less than five minutes.” Chen Mo looked towards the Valley, where he could vaguely see a few figures.

“What do you want to do there, going through all this trouble?” Xue Ye Hua tried to change the subject to distract herself.

“Curiosity.” Chen Mo had no intention of telling Xue Ye Hua his real goal.

Hmph! What a stingy guy!

Xue Ye Hua knew Chen Mo wasn’t telling the truth and didn’t ask further.

But… if she could enter that Valley, she might be able to undertake a Quest too. She had long wanted to see inside that Valley. But because of Qing Tian, she didn’t want to clash with the two major Guilds, so she had held back. Today, however, Qing Tian had already cleared her Crime Value. With nothing left to worry about, she followed Chen Mo here.

“Hey, isn’t it a bit too hot? Maybe you should just log off. You look pretty uncomfortable.” After waiting a while longer, Chen Mo kindly suggested.

He was a normal young man and knew that continuing like this could lead to an awkward situation.

“No!” Xue Ye Hua flatly refused.

This was a rare opportunity; she wouldn’t give up just because of a little difficulty. This small hardship couldn’t defeat her!

But soon, she noticed something was wrong.

Something hard was pressing between her two rounded buttocks!

“Hey!” Xue Ye Hua shouted angrily.

She wasn’t as naive as Qing Tian; she didn’t need to think to know what that was.

“Not my fault. The Game is just too realistic.” Chen Mo replied very calmly.

“If your real body didn’t react, how would the Game react!” Xue Ye Hua wouldn’t be convinced by such a ridiculous excuse.

“Please, beautiful, you’re so tempting. I’ve already held back for quite a while. I told you to log off earlier.” Chen Mo said irritably.

“Control yourself!”

“Okay, I get it.” Chen Mo rolled his eyes at her. If this was something one could control, the word “impulse” wouldn’t exist in the human dictionary.

What a huge loss!

Xue Ye Hua also knew Chen Mo probably couldn’t control it. She could only swallow her bitterness.

“The figures are gone.”

After another ten-plus difficult minutes passed, the Player figures inside the Valley all disappeared. Xue Ye Hua exclaimed happily.

“Let’s go!” Chen Mo had also had enough. If he could move freely, that would be one thing. But in their current state, if he moved even slightly and caused Sesshylow’s cloak to fail, they would both die. Although he really wanted to move, he didn’t dare act recklessly.

But once they started walking, they both realized that this relatively short distance wasn’t easy to traverse.

Walking while rubbing against each other, both Chen Mo and Xue Ye Hua felt indescribable sensations in their bodies as they moved.

“We’re finally here.”

After much effort, the two passed through the Valley’s Magic Barrier and entered the Valley. Chen Mo put away Sesshylow. Both of them fell to the ground, breathing rapidly and panting. For both of them, that journey had been quite stimulating.

“You little brat, you took full advantage of me!” Xue Ye Hua said through gritted teeth.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m the victim here!” Chen Mo protested strongly.

The victim?

Xue Ye Hua had seen it all now. This guy’s face was incredibly thick-skinned, completely acting innocent after taking advantage.
