Please Sign: Your Runaway Wife Has Been Captured Chapter 27 The Top Assassin

Now that members of the League of Strong Families were familiar with Flowing Light, they often invited her to play instances or complete missions together.

　　[Gang] One-inch Monk: Flowing Light, we're going to slay some level-95 monsters. Do you want to play with us?

　　Even when Bluegreen-Clad was not online, and Han Meimei and Li Lei were in the safe zone (because Han Meimei got pregnant), Zheng Xiaoguang could still choose to team up with the other gang members .

　　[Gang] Flowing Light: Okay, send me the invitation.

　　The assassin named One-inch Monk quickly accepted Flowing Light into his team. The other three team members were a warrior named Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze, a doctor named Nine-Tailed Red Fox and an archer named Evely.

　　[Team Captain] One-inch Monk: Let's welcome the first lady of our gang to help us gain levels today.

　　The other three members of the team immediately sent out a lot of clapping hands signs on the Team channel.

　　Zheng Xiaoguang checked the levels of the team members. Most of them were still at level 90-95, but her character Flowing Light was at level 98 now. She thought,"Wow, I did gain levels faster than the others by playing the paid instances together with Bluegreen-Clad. Well, money is indeed powerful."

　　[Team] Flowing Light: Ah, hah-hah. I'm just a doctor and may not be very helpful for you guys.

　　[Team] Nine-Tailed Red Fox: Come on, I admire your ability very much! Big fan~~

　　[Team] Flowing Light: Although I'm always thick-skinned, but you really make me feel shy by saying so.

　　[Team] Evely: Come on, Flowing Light, don't be so modest!

　　After exchanging pleasantries for some time, they began to gain levels at a level-95 PVP region called Snow Peak. About a dozen minutes later, Evely suddenly lost all her blood.

　　Generally speaking, a well-equiped player like Evely would never be easily slain by even a Map Boss. As such, she was very surprised and immediately sent out an SOS message on her Team channel.

　　Evely: Help me! Snow Peak［28,68］

　　Nine-Tailed Red Fox: I'm near you. I'll come to save you.

　　Flowing Light: What's going on?

　　Evely: Members of the Sacred Temple snatched monsters from my hands and killed me.

　　Zheng Xiaoguang frowned and thought, "What? Do those members of the Sacred Temple want to get back at us?"

　　Nine-Tailed Red Fox: [Cry Out Loud] They're guarding your corpse. I don't dare to get close to you by myself.

　　Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze: How many of them are there?

　　Nine-Tailed Red Fox: [Cry Out Loud] Four...

　　Flowing Light: I'll go to save you girls together with One-inch Monk and Spring Breeze. Hide yourself well. Don't let them find you.

　　Nine-Tailed Red Fox: Ah, they saw me.

　　Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang sighed secretly, "Alas, this girl..." She quickly mounted her white phoenix① and flew to [ 28,68 ]. When she arrived, Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze was already there, and Nine-Tailed Red Fox was hiding behind his back, adding blood for him.

　　To her surprise, she found out that the four members of the Sacred Temple were their gang boss Sacred TempleメCloud Top, their deputy gang boss Sacred TempleメEmpty City, and their two elders named Shallow Sleep and Bitter Tea. These four players were the strongest members of the Sacred Temple, especially Shallow Sleep, who she had fought against during the siege battle.

　　Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze was a warrior, who was endowed with great defensive force, and had a doctor adding blood for him. Nevertheless, Shallow Sleep, the assassin from the Sacred Temple, could make Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze shed one third of his blood with just on strike. Evidently, this Shallow Sleep had upgraded his weapon to create Critical Damage.

　　"Wow, the top assassin of the Sacred Temple is indeed fierce!" Zheng Xiaoguang exclaimed secretly and then gave a "Magic Healing Touch" to Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze. When she turned around and was about to use her only offensive skill to stun the enemies, she was muted by Bitter Tea, the female summoner from the Sacred Temple

　　As such, Zheng Xiaoguang's character Flowing Light was frozen. She could only watch Shallow Sleep slay Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze and One-inch Monk, who had just arrived.

　　[Team] Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze: Run, Nine-Tailed Red Fox.

　　Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze had to admit that his team could never defeat the four members from the Sacred Temple. Flowing Light had already been frozen by the summoner, and the other doctor of his team, Nine-Tailed Red Fox, had only half of her blood left.

　　To his surprise, Nine-Tailed Red Fox refused to flee alone. She used her skill "Bringing the Dead Back" on him at the last minute.

　　By doing so, she could give Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze a chance to resurrect himself on the spot after her death.

　　[Team] Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze: Nine-tailed, why are you so stupid?

　　[Team] Nine-Tailed Red Fox: Hee-hee, I'm just a fragile doctor. I can't run away very fast, so I would rather give you a chance to resurrect yourself on the spot. When they're relaxed and unprepared, you can resurrect yourself.

　　Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang wondered, "This Nine-Tailed Red Fox could've used a Flying Talisman to fly away just now. I did that all the time. Did she choose to stay there and die for Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze because she felt grateful that he always protected her?"

　　[Team] Evely: How about we go to ask for help in the gang?

　　[Team] One-inch Monk: But now the gang boss and the other strong players are not online. The others will be slain here if they come. Look at the enemies, they probably plan to guard our corpses. If we keep asking for help and resurrecting ourselves, we'll perhaps turn this into another gang war!

　　[Team] Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze: So are you suggesting that we can drive them away by lying here as corpses?

　　Zheng Xiaoguang looked at the dead teammates and felt dejected, as her character Flowing Light was still frozen by Bitter Tea and could not move at all.

　　[Nearby] Flowing Light: If you want to kill me, just go ahead.

　　She did not want to be made fun of by her enemies.

　　[Nearby] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Who told you that we came to kill you? Bitter Tea froze you just to keep you from coming at us. If you promise not to attack us, I'll ask Bitter Tea to release you.

　　Zheng Xiaoguang thought in surprise,"What, to release me? They're clearly up to something."

　　[Nearby] Flowing Light: Why don't you kill me?

　　[Nearby] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: My brother Shallow Sleep found you quite interesting during the siege battle. He asked us not to kill you.

　　"Huh?" Zheng Xiaoguang confusedly looked at the assassin named Shallow Sleep, who was guarding the corpses of Nine-Tailed Red Fox and Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze, and thought, "I remembered that during the siege battle, I stopped him from slaying Venus Will Cry and then killed him together with the other members of the League of Strong Families.

　　"He found me interesting? Does he ask his friends to keep me alive because he plans to kill me himself?"

　　[Nearby] Flowing Light: Cut the crap. I killed him in the battle. Shallow Sleep, if you want revenge, just come to kill me as soon as possible!

　　[Nearby] Shallow Sleep: [Wiping Sweats] I never plan to get back at you.

　　[Nearby] Flowing Light: Then what do you want? Do you come here to chat with me?

　　[Nearby] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: To tell you the truth, Flowing Light, my brother likes you. Do you want to marry into the Sacred Temple?

　　"What?" Upon seeing that message, Zheng Xiaoguang was startled. She could hardly believe what she saw on the screen. If she had happened to be drinking water or something else just now, she would have gushed the liquid out on the screen.

　　[Nearby] Flowing Light: Shallow Sleep, don't tell me that you fall in love with me and miss me after being slain by me.

　　[Nearby] Shallow Sleep: Well, that's pretty much the truth.

　　Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang thought in disbelief, "What do you mean by saying that's pretty much the truth? Are you serious?"

　　[Nearby] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Flowing Light, just think about it. My brother is the top assassin of Watery South. If you divorce Bluegreen-Clad and marry into the Sacred Temple, we'll work together with the Matchless to fight against the League of Strong Families.

　　Note:

　　①White phoenix: A white phoenix is a flying mount. A character can get a 50% traveling speed raise by riding a white phoenix. Once a white phoenix is shot down, the character's traveling speed will get back to normal.

　　②Magic Healing Touch: A blood-adding skill of a doctor. By using this skill, a doctor can provide the most blood that he or she can offer.
