Please Sign: Your Runaway Wife Has Been Captured Chapter 40 Competing for the Hand of Venus

Zheng Xiaoguang checked her friend list and found out that her husband Bluegreen-Clad was still a gray color.

She sighed and thought to herself, "He's not online again."

[Private Chat] Soft-heartedness is a Disease: Is everything alright with you and your husband? Why didn't you get online during the past few days? Do you want to stop playing this game?

[Private Chat] Flowing Light: No. We've spent so much money on this game. We won't stop playing it.

[Private Chat] Shallow Sleep talks to you: What's going on between you and Bluegreen-Clad?

[Private Chat] You talk to Shallow Sleep: Nothing. He's just busy recently.

[Private Chat] Cool Names Taken by Dogs: Come on, stupid Flowing Light, what's the big deal? If Bluegreen-Clad really marries that Venus, I'll marry you.

[Private Chat] Flowing Light: No, please. If some girl is really able to go around with the title "The Wife of Cool Names Taken by Dogs", I'll really admire her courage.

Zheng Xiaoguang had advised Cool Names Taken by Dogs to change his name when she had just first taken him into her team. Girls in the game usually preferred guys whose names were cool or elegant. Zheng Xiaoguang was 100% sure that few girls would have the courage to marry Cool Names Taken by Dogs.

[Private Chat] Han Meimei: Flowing Light, when will you get online? I sit on the floor every day without anyone chatting with me. I'm bored to death.

[Private Chat] Flowing Light: Here I am.

Zheng Xiaoguang received Han Meimei's invitation to join a team shortsly after responding to her massage.

Now Han Meimei was "waiting for delivery" and extremely fragile. As such, Li Lei would just take her to complete some plot missions every day and let her sit on the floor all the time.

During the past few days when Zheng Xiaoguang had not gotten online, many things had happened in the game. Han Meimei only told Flowing Light some important things.

According to her, no one in their gang cared much about the thread on the forum, except Venus, who always pretended to be innocent. She asked the gang members who post it on the forum and said that she never planned to come between Bluegreen-Clad and Flowing Light.

Saori of the Sacred Temple kept a low profile recently. That was probably because she had quarreled many times with her husband Sacred TempleメCloud in recent days. The most eye-catching news now was that Venus was going to pick her husband by holding a contest.

A female Shiny Sky player could hold a contest to pick her husband and only single male players could sign up for such a contest. Its rules were similar to those of a 1v1 battle arena. Venus had attracted a lots of male players since joining Shiny Sky beauty contest. Many guys chased after her and even joined the League of Strong Families for her.

It would be easy for her to find a husband if she just wanted to marry a strong male player. Nevertheless, she set two rules: 1. Only members of the League of Strong Families could join the contest, as she did not want to marry someone from another gang. 2. Her future husband must give her a seven-star Yellow Spring Sword as an engagement gift.

"A guy from the League of Strong Families who can give her a seven-star Yellow Spring Sword?" Zheng Xiaoguang wondered.

Han Meimei sneered. "Well, look at the rules she has set. She said that she never planned to come between you and Bluegreen-Clad, but she is clearly still thinking about Bluegreen-Clad."

Bluegreen-Clad was the strongest player of the League of Strong Families, and only he had forged a seven-star Yellow Spring Sword in the game by now. He had already given the sword to Flowing Light.

"Maybe she just doesn't want to make compromises. She just wants to marry some guy who is as great as Bluegreen-Clad. By the way, Flowing Light, what is he doing these days?" Li Lei said while slaying monsters.

"He's busy and doesn't have time to play the game," replied Zheng Xiaoguang.

"How can he be away at this time?" Han Meimei complained.

Because of the thread on the forum, now everyone player on Watery South knew the thing about Flowing Light, Bluegreen-Clad and Venus. Besides, as Bluegreen-Clad and Flowing Light had not gotten online during the past few days to give everyone an explanation. This thread had given rise to much discussion.

Zheng Xiaoguang wondered, "No wonder Blooming Pear Tree said that it was good for me to stop playing the game for a few days and stay away from the discussion. He was worried that I would get verbally abused."

As the gossip spread, even Blooming Pear Tree could not make everyone shut up.

Some people just had nothing to do and enjoyed gossiping. Some hated to see the alliance between the Matchless and the League of Strong Families and tried their best to fan up the flames of trouble.

Some people, who were obviously strangers to Bluegreen-Clad and Flowing Light, analyzed all the details of the thing to determine that the third person Flowing Light must have felt ashamed of her looks after seeing Venus's photo and never dared to log onto this game again. They also expressed that they were looking forward to seeing Bluegreen-Clad and Venus being toghther again.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Xiaoguang was stunned and thought, "Wow, what an interesting story. It's more interesting than the TV series airing at 8:00 pm. Did Bluegreen-Clad really have a thing about Venus?"

She thought of the Whispers (messages from hidden IDs), which she had seen when she had just gotten online.

[Whisper] Someone talks quietly to you: How dare you log onto this game again? If you don't want to be called shameless, you should quit the game now.

[Whisper] Someone talks quietly to you quietly: Get out of here, shameless bitch!

Zheng Xiaoguang thought helplessly, "Well, do they really think that it was I, 'a cruel and shameless bitch', that came between their godlike Bluegreen-Clad to the beautiful Venus?"

Fortunately, not everyone was hostile toward Flowing Light. One-inch Monk comforted her by sending her a Private Chat message. "Sigh, guys just like pretty girls. There's nothing we can do about it. Anyhow, in my eyes, you're the best first lady of our gang."

Besides him, there were many other people sympathized with Flowing Light. They thought that once Bluegreen-Clad divorced Flowing Light and married Venus, everyone would believe that the thread on the forum was ture. One that happened, Flowing Light's reputation would be ruined, and she would be too embarrassed to log onto this game again.

　　Of course, most of those people who expressed such sympathy toward Flowing Light were guys. They thought that if Bluegreen-Clad did not marry Venus, they would still have a chance. Many guys sent Private Chat messages to Flowing Light, asking her if she could sell her seven-star Yellow Spring Sword to them.

At 8: 30, the system announced that the contest held by Venus began. As she was considered the future Beauty Queen of Shiny Sky, this contest attracted the attention of many players.

As Zheng Xiaoguang and her friends did not care about the contest at all, they kept slaying monsters in the instance and did not go to watch the contest. Despite that, they still knew what happened in the contest, as the system kept announcing the results of the 1v1 fights, such as "So-and-so is defeated by so-and-so. He sighs and leaves."

Many male players went to fight in the contest, but up till now, none of them had won three 1v1 fights in a row. Most of them were not members of the League of Strong Families. They just did this for fun.

"Rest assured. I believe that Bluegreen-Clad is not such a fickle guy." Han Meimei comforted Flowing Light. "Let that Venus hold the contest. Bluegreen-Clad is not even online. No matter what she does, it's useless."

Upon hearing that, Zheng Xiaoguang thought, "Han Meimei has a point. No matter what the others have said, as long as Bluegreen-Clad does not go to fight for Venus, everything will be alright. Such a contest lasts at most 1.5 hours. It's 9:30 now. It'll end half an hour later."

"I know." Zheng Xiaoguang pretended to be relaxed and replied. This was the first time that she had felt so sure that she did not want to divorce Bluegreen-Clad. Suddenly, her cellphone rang and at the same moment, the system sent her a message.

Game Message: Your husband Bluegreen-Clad is online.

As the male magician dressed in "Carefree" fashionable clothes logged onto the game and appeared in a bustling crowd, he was enveloped in white light, and the corners of his garment fluttered in the wind.

Game Message: Welcome Bluegreen-Clad, the city governor of Vermilion Bird City, to log onto Shiny Sky Online.
