Chapter 276 – Chance Encounter with the lucky Girl
Shi Xiyue felt like today was the worst day ever. She, who had always been the lucky one, never imagined she''d be robbed one day.
Sure enough, wealth should not be unted. She got targeted by scoundrels so quickly.
Shi Xiyue could only hope to talk her way out of this. Fighting was out of the question; she was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. What could she fight with?
But she didn''t want to die either. She was decked out in luxurious equipment, all won from lotteries. Losing any piece would be a huge loss.
"Hey, hey, hey, I''m just doing business there. I got lucky in a lottery. Your big guild can''t be this petty, right?"
The man sneered, "Don''t tter yourself. This is a personal matter, nothing to do with the guild."
"Then... how about I just stop buying from your store in the future?" Shi Xiyue said helplessly.
"Whether you buy or not doesn''t matter. Just hand over that Golden Core ck Tortoise pet, and we''ll let you go."
Shi Xiyue was shocked, finally understanding their true motive.
"Dream on! I won this pet from another store''s lottery. The owner hasn''t even asked for it back. Why should I give it to you?"
"Then I''m sorry. Let''s see if my luck can make this pet drop. Get her!"
...
Just as several Eternal Guild yers were about to make a move, Xing Sen suddenly stepped forward to mediate.
"Brother Zhang, I think this isn''t right. How about we let it go? Don''t make things difficult for a girl."
Xing Sen seemed unwilling to engage in such banditry and spoke to the man giving orders.
The man seemed to be an important member of the Eternal Guild, and Xing Sen was very polite to him.
The man''s face changed, then heughed and patted Xing Sen on the shoulder. "Xing Sen, you''re too serious. This is just a game. We''re not real bandits. What''s the big deal about fighting and robbing in a game?"
Xing Sen remained stubborn. "Brother Zhang, even though it''s a game, it still affects our guild''s image. Let''s just drop it."
The yer called Brother Zhang was visibly displeased but still spoke kindly.
"Xing Sen, how about this? This has nothing to do with you. Just stand aside and watch. We''ll handle it. Is that okay? Guys, get her!"
"Wait, wait, Brother Zhang, how about I ask the guild leader for his opinion?" Xing Sen continued to persuade.
Brother Zhang''s expression turned cold. He crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "Sure, go ahead and ask the guild leader. If he disagrees, we''ll leave immediately."
"Alright, I''ll contact him now."
Xing Sen immediately sent a message to Wang Jinghao, but to his surprise, Wang Jinghao, who had been online a moment ago, had just logged off.
"This... the guild leader seems busy. I''ll call him."
Xing Sen persistently dialed Wang Jinghao''s number, but no one answered.
"Brother Zhang, the guild leader seems busy. How about we retreat for now?"
At this point, Brother Zhang finally lost his temper. "Xing Sen, if you think my methods are dirty, then get lost. I''ve been polite to you. Don''t think you can do whatever you want just because the guild leader likes you. I''m a vice guild leader, and you don''t listen to me? Get out!"
Xing Sen was scolded harshly. He wanted to get angry but didn''t dare, so he lowered his head and kept silent.
Brother Zhang pushed Xing Sen aside. "If you can''t stand it, get out of my sight. If it weren''t for the guild leader liking you, I''d dock your pay for six months!"
Xing Sen was pushed aside and watched as Brother Zhang and the others prepared to continue their assault. He could only turn his head away, not wanting to see it.
"Stupid girl, I''ll ask you one more time. Will you hand over the ck Tortoise? Even if you''re lucky this time and it doesn''t drop, I''ll kill you every time I see you. Let''s see if you''re always this lucky!" Brother Zhang warned Shi Xiyue harshly.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiyue, who had been timid at first, showed her stubborn nature and refused to yield.
"You wish! I''d rather give the ck Tortoise to a beggar than to you bandits!"
"Then don''t me us. Kill her!"
Brother Zhang waved his hand, and several Eternal Guild yers attacked Shi Xiyue simultaneously.
At that moment, a roar came from the depths of the forest.@@novelbin@@
As they turned their heads, a giant bear burst out of the woods.
One yer didn''t even see what was happening before being sent flying by a powerful bear paw.
Another yer was crushed by the bear''s jump attack, his neck bitten, and his health dropping rapidly.
"Damn! We''re under attack by a beast!"
"Damn it, is that a panda?"
"Quick, kill it!"
***
After a brief chaos, the Eternal Guild yers quickly formed a formation to surround the sudden panda.
"Damn, you think you can y hero, you beast? Here to give us equipment?" Zhang Changughed.
Seeing that the bear was only at the Crystal Formation level, he wasn''t worried at all.
He himself was a Golden Core Realm yer, and the team had two other Golden Core yers, with the rest at the Crystal Formation level.
How could they be afraid of a Crystal Formation panda?
But as the fight went on, Zhang Chang realized something was wrong. This panda was incredibly fierce.
Not only was it tough-skinned, but it also dealt high damage.
More importantly, it fought like an old hand, never staying in one ce too long. It would engage one yer, deal some damage, then quickly retreat and switch targets.
No other beast would fight like this, right?
Finally, someone hit the panda and saw its attributes, their face turning pale.
"Brother Zhang, it''s a pet! This panda is a pet!"
"Whose pet?" Zhang Chang asked.
The yer was stunned for a moment before stammering, "It''s... Lin... Lin Jichen''s pet."
Zhang Chang was shocked and was about to say something when a Sword Qi flew out from the woods!
It struck his chest precisely.
<em>St!</em>
A terrifying wound appeared on his body, blood gushing out.
<em>[Frost Moon sh!]</em>
<em>[Critical Hit! -5800!]</em>
<em>[Slowed: 10 seconds!]</em>
<em>[Frozen: 3 seconds!]</em>
Zhang Chang watched as he turned into an ice statue, while the other yers were on high alert.
Two figures gradually emerged from the forest: Lin Jichen and Su Wanling.
Lin Jichen didn''t seem to have any intention of continuing the fight. He just carried his sword and walked up to the group, exuding a powerful oppressive aura over everyone.
Su Wanling mocked, "So this is the Eternal Guild? Seeing something good and wanting to rob it, how shameless!"
Zhang Chang broke free from the ice and angrily asked Lin Jichen, "Lin Jichen, what do you mean by this? Do you want to be enemies with the Eternal Guild?"
Lin Jichen quickly raised his hands and pointed to Su Wanling beside him. "It''s not my idea. My<em>girlfriend</em>told me to do it."
Su Wanling:<em>"????"</em>
