The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 21 Tang Rou Returns, Chen Guo: Tsk tsk tsk...

"Network administrator! My computer screen is black!"

"I'm coming."

"Hey internet cafe manager, where's my instant noodles?"

"I'm coming."

…………

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few things going on at Happy Internet Cafe at night, but with Mo Qian and Ye Xiu, the two managers, they were still able to manage. They even managed to squeeze in some time to level up, which was pretty good.

"Ha~"

"It's finally over. Time for bed—"

"Hey? The boss hasn't gone home yet."

Mo Qian saw that the boss was asleep on a machine. Looking up, he realized that the boss had fallen asleep while watching a TV series.

"Get the boss a blanket, it'll be bad if he catches a cold."

The two carefully draped a thin blanket over the boss, then went back to tidy up before heading home.

Ye Xiu and Mo Qian fought until the early hours of the morning before finally finishing. Exhausted, they climbed back into bed together. Perhaps because it was a holiday, there were especially many people there today.

When Chen Guo woke up, it was already morning. Looking at the time, Chen Guo thought to herself, "This is bad!"
"Oh no, Tang is coming back today! I forgot to set my alarm!"

Chen Guo stood up, and the blanket on her body slipped off.
"What's this? I didn't expect those two guys to be so nice—"

Chen Guo thought for a moment and realized that she was the boss. Besides, had her master not taught her anything yet?
"I must get Mo Qian to teach me something today. Little Tang is back, and I want to prove myself!"

If Chen Guo is just an ordinary player who enjoys Glory, then Xiao Tang is probably a typical naturally gifted player. Tang Rou had never played Glory before; it was Chen Guo who introduced her to the game.

Chen Guo couldn't pass the skill challenge in the God's Domain no matter what she tried, but Tang Rou successfully helped Chen Guo pass it after only a few days of practice. It's really a case of "comparison is the thief of joy."
As soon as Chen Guo stepped out, she saw Tang Rou carrying a suitcase.

There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. This probably describes Tang Rou now. She has short, neat hair, an oval face, and big eyes. Her eyes lit up when she saw Chen Guo.

"Guoguo!" Tang Rou called out!
"Xiao Tang! Um... I'm sorry—I stayed up too late last night."

Chen Guo promised to pick up Xiao Tang, but now she's broken her promise. There's an old saying that goes:

Those who break their promises shall be punished by being eaten by rocks.

But what kind of relationship do Chen Guo and Tang Rou have? They are best friends, not enemies, so Tang Rou naturally wouldn't blame Chen Guo for such a small matter.

"It's alright, Guoguo. By the way, I heard you've become an apprentice? And a junior apprentice at that?"

"Yeah, let me tell you, that guy's gun control technique is absolutely amazing, even better than yours, Xiao Tang."

Tang Rou still thought Glory was a simple game, so she naturally doubted Chen Guo's words. Chen Guo knew Tang Rou's eyes well enough to tell that Tang Rou didn't believe her, so she simply said, "Why don't you try it with him?"

"But he should still be resting now. Let's wait until he wakes up before we talk about it."

"Okay, let's go get breakfast. By the way, what do you want to eat, Xiao Tang? Fried dough sticks or savory pancakes?"

After quickly putting down her luggage, Tang Rou followed Chen Guo out. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Tang Rou said to Chen Guo:

"Guoguo, should we bring them some too?"

"sure."

When Mo Qian opened his eyes, he felt like he was being pressed down by a ghost. In his dream, he felt something pressing down on him, which was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't wake up. He could only call out "Mu Cheng" to save him.

But when Mo Qian woke up, he discovered that Old Ye had most of his body on top of him, and was looking at him with a "tender" expression—at least that's how it appeared from Mo Qian's perspective.
Ye Xiu felt that there was nothing wrong with his eyesight; he was just standing very close to the camera.

"Hey! Old Ye, what are you doing? When did you wake up?"

Ye Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth. He had been woken up by Mo Qian ever since Mo Qian started talking in his sleep.

"Do you know that you called Mu Cheng's name a hundred times in your dream..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Qian blushed slightly, his expression turning into one of forced explanation:
"I...I had a reason for that. Who told you to pin me down? I had to call Mu Cheng for help, didn't I?"

"Oh?" Ye Xiu looked at Mo Qian with a mocking expression. This might fool a child, but it wouldn't fool Ye Xiu.
"Then why didn't you call my name?"

How is Mo Qian supposed to respond to this? Does he really have to say, "Old Ye, you seem really unreliable?"
Then Ye Xiu got up and said to Mo Qian on the bed in a somewhat serious tone:

"Don't worry, I trust you with Mu Cheng. But if you dare to bully Mu Cheng, I, as her older brother, won't stand for it."

Mo Qian nodded, a little confused; his brain wasn't quite working properly yet since he had just woken up.

At this moment, Chen Guo led Tang Rou through the door and saw Ye Xiu and Mo Qian:

At this moment, Ye Xiu was pulling up his pants, but he wasn't wearing any clothes on his upper body. Mo Qian was half-covering himself with a blanket on the bed.
"Tsk tsk tsk—I didn't know you two had this kind of relationship. Sorry to bother you..."

Chen Guo quickly closed the door, as if she had discovered something she shouldn't have known.

"I…………"

Ye Xiu had no chance to explain; Chen Guo didn't give him any time to react. Ye Xiu looked at himself and Mo Qian again, and it seemed they really did look a bit gay.

Mo Qian and Ye Xiu exchanged a glance, both knowing that their reputations might be completely ruined today.

"We must let the boss know that we're perfectly normal, Lao Ye!"

Ye Xiu nodded in deep agreement, but in reality, he didn't care much about this thing.
