The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 45, 50%! —What?! ?? The day of Jun Moxiao's suffering—

Ye Xiu and Mo Qian, still seated, were unaware that Mu Cheng had thoughtfully prepared coats for them. They were currently discussing the philosophy of life with Zhuang Zhou—it was unclear what kind of ending would be worthy of the hardships Mo Qian and Ye Xiu had endured along the way.
"Hmm—where am I?"

When Mo Qian woke up again, almost everyone on the field had left. Mu Cheng had also returned to the club with the team. The moment Mo Qian opened her eyes, she saw Ye Xiu's large face right in front of her. This startled Mo Qian greatly.

"Hey! Old Ye, what are you doing? Why are you staring at me like a ghost?"

Ye Xiu was also woken up by Mo Qian's noise. Opening his eyes, he saw himself lying on top of Mo Qian – a truly dangerous position.
Ye Xiu leaped into the air, jumping three feet high (actually only three centimeters), but he was still startled.
"You, you, you...I, I, I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? I didn't say anything, let's go—"

Mo Qian had already realized what had happened. Chen Guo probably found two coats for him and Ye Xiu because she was worried they would be cold. He was just confused as to why Ye Xiu was wearing one of his coats.

Turning around, sure enough, Chen Guo and Tang Rou were there, smiling as they watched Ye Xiu and Mo Qian interact. But please don't misunderstand, Chen Guo didn't intentionally move Ye Xiu to Mo Qian's position; Chen Guo swears to God:
Ye Xiu definitely climbed over there himself. It's unclear whether it was because of the cold or some other reason; perhaps he was just used to sleeping on the small bed in the storage room. Otherwise, Ye Xiu would never have climbed onto Mo Qian.

For Ye Xiu, it would be practically impossible for him to hug Mo Qian on his own initiative—of course, physical reactions don't lie, showing that Ye Xiu actually really enjoys huddling together with Mo Qian for warmth.

"Let's go, boss, we still need to level up today—"

Mo Qian helped Ye Xiu up. Ye Xiu's physique was much weaker than Mo Qian's. This was not only because Ye Xiu did not exercise often, but more importantly because Ye Xiu stayed up too late, even more so than Mo Qian.

"Old Ye, you're too heavy, you should lose weight..."

"Screw you!"

Back at the hotel, Mo Qian and Ye Xiu couldn't wait to turn on their computers. After inserting their Glory account cards, their characters appeared.
Lord Grim: Level 39
City of a Thousand Oranges: Level 38
"Wait! Old Ye, how come your level is one level higher than mine? Did you secretly go leveling up behind my back?!"

Ye Xiu touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. This was a gesture Ye Xiu often used when lying, and it couldn't escape Mo Qian's sharp eyes. Mo Qian saw through Ye Xiu's lie at a glance.

"Ahem—I only secretly ran a few dungeons with Lanhe."

"several times???"

Ye Xiu couldn't quite withstand Mo Qian's glare. That look reminded him of the look his father gave him when he was caught lying years ago—it was truly terrifying. "I want 70% of the materials today!" Mo Qian was practically asking for the moon, trying to squeeze materials out of Ye Xiu, this tightwad. No one would believe it if they heard it.

Shocking! Lord Grim is being blackmailed by an unknown person late at night. Is this a sign of moral decay or a loss of reason? Stay tuned for the next episode!

"Impossible! Old Mo, if you give me 70%, I'll fight you, believe it or not. At most, 55%, no more than that!"

Ye Xiu has always been meticulous when it comes to materials, and today is the day Lan He will provide them. How could Ye Xiu possibly hand over the meat he's captured?

"Sixty percent!"

"Fifty percent!"

"59%!"

"57%!"

"make a deal!"

"Fifty percent! ...What???"

Mo Qian smiled slightly, "Hey—you said it yourself—57%, not a drop less, hahaha!"

Ye Xiu: It feels like ants are crawling on my body...

This day was practically Lord Grim's day of suffering. I wonder what those guilds who get extorted for materials by Lord Grim every day are thinking. To think that Lord Grim would ever be extorted like this is truly unbelievable!

"You... fine, just this once, there will absolutely be no next time!"

Ye Xiu spoke with absolute certainty, but whether it was truly true, perhaps only he himself knew. Ye Xiu had lowered his standards for Mo Qian more than once. This lack of restraint ultimately led to different treatment of Mo Qian. Old Ye's treatment of Mo Qian was undoubtedly exceptional; he was genuinely good to him, given their years of friendship and camaraderie.
