    <i>You have breached Sin City and stayed within it for an hour.</i>


    <i>The siege is sessful. Gained twenty Reputation Points and one thousand five hundred Honor Points.</i>


    Qin Ruo, Majestic Hero, Netherw, Scarlet Bauhinia, and ck God received the same notifications. Besides the five League Masters, more than twenty yers of Vice League Master or n Leader ranks were also rewarded ten Reputation Points and one hundred Honor Points each.


    However, these rewards were just the icing on the cake.


    To them, the real rewardy in their sweet revenge over Demon Faction which dethroned their long-term dominance over the Angel Faction. Their victory disbanded the sixteen Leagues and up to ten thousand ns in Demon Faction, forcing them to rebuild from scratch like what had happened to Angel Faction a while ago.


    After the notification, five of them ordered their respective League members to retreat from Sin City, leaving behind ruins of a warzone to the Demon Faction yers.


    ***


    “That was fun!!” After they had returned to the Moonrise City, Netherw walked out from the Warp Portal and cheered in the alliance channel, “This might be the most enjoyable battle that I ever had since I started H&G. Haha! It’s not easy to have everyone gather here like today. Today, we will only think about celebration and nothing else. Let’s head to Great Winter Hall, my treat! No one is allowed to leave without getting drunk. Comrades from the five leagues and all the n Leaders, do oblige to my humble invitation.”


    “Damn! How generous, Netherw.” Scarlet Bauhinia was thrilled by the offer. “You better not regret it. I am going to bring as many people as I can.” The Greater Winter Hall had only been opened five times prior to this. Three of those were to discuss countermeasures for Demon Faction’s constant threats. Its expenses were usually shared by the Leagues who were involved. Hearing that Netherw was going to give them a treat this time, Scarlet Bauhinia was of course, not going to let the free meal slip away.


    Most of the others had also nodded to his invitation. They were going to stuff as many people as possible into the hall and embark on the greatest “Angel Reunion” of all time.


    Netherw finallyughed and said, “Leader Qin, how about you? Why haven’t you said anything? Fallen Angels are the biggest reason we could win this war. It would be inappropriate to celebrate without you and your Leagues’ presence.”


    The channel toned down a little after Netherw said that. Several n Leaders conformed and joked that the big guns from Fallen Angels should not miss the reunion.


    Those incisive ones could easily tell that Netherw was using this opportunity to ameliorate the rtionship between Fallen Angels and Netherspirit’s w to bring their long-standing resentment to a halt.


    After all, Qin Ruo’s otherworldly strength was in full disy in this war. Not only had he single handedly disrupted the entire Demon Faction’s rear lines using the bizarre Mimic skill, but he had also escaped the enemy’s traps time and time again.


    His outrageous prowess did not only crumble the Demon Faction, but it also terrorized their internalpetitor, Netherspirit’s w.


    Netherw was especially fearful of the imusible Mimic skills, which was proven extremely effective in deceiving the sharp eyes of so many Tier 5 Bowmasters. If he still refused to make peace with Fallen Angels, Netherspirit’s w would then have a hard time moving forward in the face of such a powerful enemy. Besides, Hall of Heroes and ck Jail were openly biased toward the Fallen Angels, while Scarlet Bauhinia still maintained a close rtionship with the new Bauhinia n.


    “Little Qin?” Majestic Hero had also joined in the persuasion. “Come along.”


    Majestic Hero yearned for Angel Faction’s unity. His nonpetitive personality was prominent and he wished everyone could develop equally without conflict. He had loved to see the Fallen Angels and Netherspirit’s w resolve their grudges, which would certainly benefit the Angel Faction more.


    Qin Ruo decided to go along with the flow and immediately agreed to attend. “Sure. Since Demon Faction should most probably stop hassling us in the meantime. There isn’t a better time to get drunk than this...”


    Before he could finish his sentence, a loud system notification had interjected him:


    Both Angel Faction and Demon Faction happened to be under the protection of NPCs.


    The two lords from both factions came to a conscientious decision.


    A Grand Tournament would be held three days from now.


    From today onwards, all Warriors who were Tier 4 or above could sign up for thepetition.


    The frontrunners of eachpetition would be rewarded Legendary Grade Equipment, Divinity, Skill Books, Reputation Points and Honor Points.


    The winner will be prized with a Tier 6 Demigod Equipment, a random Tier 6 Spell, Divinity of any attribute, one hundred Reputation Points, and 50,000 Honor Points!


    For any inquiries, please head to the following location for more detailed information.


    The public announcement repeated three times and echoed through the vast Mythical Continent.


    The ones who had just returned from Sin City looked at each other, confused.


    ‘Grand Tournament?’


    ‘Tier 6 Demigod Equipment? Tier 6 Spell!? For what? We don’t have a single Tier 6 yer at this point...’


    But thetter part of the announcement had Qin Ruo and others deeply rmed...


    ‘The winner will be given fifty thousand Honor Points and one hundred Reputation Points! That’s absurd...’


    This was apparently an event specially designed for the Demon Faction.


    Frontrunners in thispetition would be rewarded with a handsome sum of Honor Points. This was rtively easier than searching for and taking down a Lich.


    If someone won thepetition, he would be immediately granted fifty thousand Honor Points. In other words, with some effort, that yer could easily topple Qin Ruo and be the number one yer with the most Honor Points in H&G! (Qin Ruo was unquestionably the top yer in the moment after the Honor Points of the Demon Faction had been reset)


    The nned celebration would probably be more nd than the one before . The sudden announcement of the Grand Tournament would certainly linger in the minds of the five League Masters, leaving a bad taste in their mouths.


    ***


    The Great Winter Hall.


    The celebration banquet went on as nned.


    Winged yers or important personnel under the five great Leagues (twenty ns), in addition to the standalone ns that had also contributed in this war were all invited to the event.


    There were about a thousand attendees.


    Inside the grand, extravagant hall, each person spent at least two thousand gold coins. Netherw bled quite a lot this time, but he achieved his purpose.


    During the banquet, Qin Ruo willingly epted two Legendary Grade Equipment gifted by Netherw.


    One belonged to Aquamancer, the other Bandit’s.


    ording to Netherw, the two Equipment was found on the battlefield. One was given as an apology for ck Dragon’s previous inappropriate behavior and the other was an introductory gift to Xin Yu. After all, the young Bandit had also yed a great role in this siege war. Her bravery indirectly led to the death of more than a hundred winged Demon Faction yers.


    Qin Ruo did not reject the offers. One reason was the great attributes of the offered items, the other being his intention to not continue the pointless conflict with Netherspirit’s w.


    He had embarrassed Netherspirit’s w twice at Savis Town and Death Valley. He had alsoe out on top in the battle for the First League.


    So it was unnecessary to carry on the endless dispute. It would be better to make peace, at least on the surface. This would help in future battles against Demon Faction, as well as the Underworld.


    ***


    After leaving the banquet, Qin Ruo immediately quit the game. He pressed his numbed forehead and dug himself into the warm bed.


    He fell into a deep slumber until the next morning.


    “Wake up,zy bum!”


    Early in the morning, Qin Ruo was woken by Xiaoxiao’s morning call and themotion of a busy kitchen.


    “This early again?” Qin Ruo flipped open his nket and revealed his head. He did not n to wake up so early during his sabbatical.


    Nevertheless, he was forced to since these few days, Xiaoxiao had always been up early to his ce and had made breakfast for him. She sugar-coated her actions iming that she would not stand for Qin Ruo skipping breakfast or having a non-nutritious meal.


    “Unlike you, I still need to go to work. I have made breakfast. Wake up now.”


    “Ugh... My beloved Xiaoxiao. Please let me sleep just a while more.”


    Qin Ruo rolled back inside to face the wall. He was reluctant to leave the warm bed so early at dawn.


    “You can’t.” Xiaoxiao was firm. She tried to drag Qin Ruo’s nket away.


    Qin Ruo, though, was not going to concede easily.


    He flipped up with great agility and pulled Xiaoxiao into the nket instead.


    “Hehe, well you are not the one who calls the shots...”


    “Hey...” Just as Xiaoxiao tried to rebuke, she was pinned by Qin Ruo’s burning chest. Her mouth was quickly met by Qin Ruo’s, turning her objections into an inaudible mumbling.


    Qin Ruo waspletely awake after the ming kiss.


    His body’s temperature raised quickly. After a long kiss, Qin Ruo parted his lips away from Xiaoxiao’s. Thetter had given up on resisting and panted tenderly in Qin Ruo’s chest.


    “I will take this aspensation for waking me up so early...”


    Qin Ruo said it with an evil smile. His filthy hand reached into her private parts from her dress opening.


    “Stop.” Xiaoxiao tried to block his indecent act. But she was no match for Qin Ruo’s strength and was easily breached. Her defense was as fragile as a Tier 2 Barrier, which was easily shattered in front of the powerful Winter Demon.


    “I will bete to work...”


    Her begging was all but futile. It simply fueled Qin Ruo’s pleasure more. “Well, why arrive sote then? You deserved this...”


    After the intimate sex, Xiaoxiao was too tired to move. She justy therezily and watched the rascal continue to tease her with his tongue.


    “Bring your clothes over after work today. I am deeply hurt to see youing over this early in the morning every day. Move in with me,” Qin Ruo persuaded.


    He felt his sweetheart rubbing her face against his chest and purring like a cat. “Dream on,” she whispered softly. “You and your tantalizing fantasy...”


    “You can see through that? Am I being too needy?” Qin Ruo purposely responded in a shocking way. “But since you have been this diligenting over to make me breakfast, why not make my other meals too? Be my personal chef and prepare all my meals in the future.”


    “You...”


    Xiaoxiaoy stunned in his arms for a few seconds, then raised her beautiful face to give Qin Ruo a big fuming look. She then moved away and dressed up to leave the house under the lewd eyes of a certain man.


    Before she left, Xiaoxiao said, “I was nning to inform you about the details of the Grand Tournament to save you some time. Well, go see it for yourself now, you jerk!”


    “...”


    Qin Ruo slowly sat up several seconds after she mmed the door shut. Stroking his nose gently, he felt downbeat.


    ‘I thought I was being indirect enough...’
