Chapter 174 Neighbors
After a day of training, Ye Xi'an touched his slightly bulging muscles and felt that he was back to his old self.
"How about we take on a four-star mission next time?"
Bo Jing immediately said, "No way! Even we at Samsung are having a tough time, let alone at four-star. The difficulty of four-star is a whole chasm compared to that of three-star."
Lin Zhijing also felt that taking on a four-star mission was somewhat dangerous: "Actually, the difficulty of Dream Weaver Star is not as difficult as three stars. The Dream itself is obviously a very weak monster, but her ability is quite special. She uses dreams to lure and kill orcs."
“Indeed,” Ye Xi’an nodded. “I killed her in one go. She was indeed weak.”
Ji Jiangci felt somewhat ashamed. Meng's abilities were indeed very special. Not only could he use dreams to lure and kill, but he could also absorb the energy of dream stones to grow vines. If it weren't for those annoying vines, they would have killed Meng long ago.
But Meng didn't expect that while her ability was special, Ye Xi'an's ability was even more special. He could ignore the vines and teleport directly to her side. It was just bad luck for her to run into Ye Xi'an.
"Alright, let's take three-star missions again next time."
Ye Xi'an shrugged helplessly and pressed the elevator's up button.
The moment my fingertips left the cold metal button, the elevator doors slid open slowly with a "ding".
There was already someone standing inside the elevator.
A tall, imposing man with striking features, wearing a black outfit and sporting a full head of red hair stood quietly in the center of the elevator. His features were strikingly beautiful, but what was most unusual about him was not his hair color or features, but the two dark red horns on his head, each as long as two palms, covered with flame patterns.
With his arms hanging at his sides, he casually raised his eyes, his crimson pupils burning brightly as if they were flames, clearly a formidable figure.
When he saw Ye Xi'an, a moment of panic flashed in his cold eyes. He immediately lowered his head, awkwardly covered the horn on his head, and then clearly shrank into the corner of the elevator.
It's really hard not to notice someone as tall as him huddled in a corner like a frightened cat.
Ye Xi'an and Lin Zhijing exchanged a bewildered glance. Was she really that scary, managing to frighten such a large male like this?
She nodded politely and stepped into the elevator.
Six people were crammed into the elevator. The man seemed to stiffen as she entered, instinctively shrinking into a corner to minimize his presence.
Ye Xi'an pressed his own floor button, and no other floors were lit up, but the orc did not react for a long time.
Ye Xi'an turned her head to look at the corner: "That one."
Upon hearing Ye Xi'an speak to him, the orc immediately shuddered.
Ye Xi'an awkwardly forced a smile: "Which floor are you on?"
"18th floor," the orc said quickly, his voice surprisingly pleasant.
Ye Xi'an was stunned when he heard this. It turned out to be his neighbor who lived across the hall.
The orc glanced around and saw Ye Xi'an's floor as well. Realizing that the two lived on the same floor, he lowered his head even further.
The elevator doors closed, leaving only the faint sounds of each other's breathing and the soft hum of the elevator in the cramped space.
The smooth metal interior walls reflected the figures of the six people inside the elevator; all of them were handsome men and beautiful women, a very pleasing sight.
In the cramped space, Ye Xi'an could feel the gazes around her, which were filled with a cautious probing, falling on her and then quickly moving away.
She tilted her head slightly, just in time to meet the male's gaze.
Those were deep eyes, but now they were filled with panic, like a little animal caught red-handed.
The male suddenly lowered his head, his gaze falling on the worn-out toes of his shoes, and an unnatural blush rose to his ears.
Ye Xi'an's heart skipped a beat. Why did the other person look so much like the elevator pervert she had seen?
She tugged at Lin Zhijing beside her worriedly. Lin Zhijing noticed the situation and made a warning eye contact with the male.
Unexpectedly, the orc who was extremely self-conscious in front of Ye Xi'an was unusually tough when facing Lin Zhijing. Their gazes were like two bolts of lightning, crackling and confronting each other in the air.
But when Ye Xi'an looked over, the orc immediately lowered his head.
Lin Zhijing: ? A two-faced person?
Fortunately, the elevator arrived quickly, and Ye Xi'an immediately stepped out. Just as she was about to open the door and go inside, the orc finally spoke again.
"Hello...hello."
His voice was a little hoarse, with obvious nervousness. Ye Xi'an paused for a moment, then gave him a friendly smile.
"Hello."
Upon receiving a response, the man's shoulders seemed to relax a little, but he still didn't dare to look up at her.
His fingers, which were at his sides, twitched slightly, his fingertips digging into the seam of his trousers, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
"My name is Gu Feng."
He seemed to have mustered up a great deal of courage to speak again, his voice slightly smoother than before, but still tense.
"I live across the hall from you."
"Ok, I know."
Ye Xi'an hesitated for a moment, then told him his name: "My name is Ye Xi'an."
Ye Xi'an's tone was gentle, and he did not reveal anything unusual.
Gu Feng's heart pounded like a drum because of this simple conversation, but she did not show any fear or disgust because of his horn.
"Then I'm off."
"Goodbye."
Goodbye, goodbye.
Ye Xi'an chuckled awkwardly and took out his key to open the door.
Gu Feng watched her retreating figure until the door closed completely, cutting off his view.
He stood in front of his door, not going in immediately.
The soft light from the corridor's motion-sensor lights bathed him, elongating his tall figure.
He raised his hand and gently touched the horns on the top of his head with his fingertips.
There came a familiar, hot sensation.
This corner accompanied him throughout his life, but it also made him feel inferior for the rest of his life.
On the planet of the main god, only low-level beastmen exhibit beastly physical characteristics in their human bodies. These beastmen are called defective products, and from birth they are destined to be unwanted by females and are regarded as ominous beings.
So he was bullied since he was a child. In order to get out of this predicament, he started doing missions desperately from the age of twelve. He would stare back at any orc who looked at him strangely.
Weakness will only make you more vulnerable to being bullied; strength is the only true measure of success.
Even though he appeared tough on the surface, he was still insecure inside. The moment Gu Feng saw Ye Xi'an, he knew he was doomed.
The feeling was wonderful, floating and unsettling, and I couldn't help but want to spy on her.
He wanted to get to know her, so at the last second, having not spoken to anyone in a long time, he mustered up the courage to call out to her.
I thought Ye Xi'an would look at me with disdain and disgust, but she didn't seem to care.
Her eyes were such a beautiful purple, like the purest gemstones, and her voice was so gentle.
Gu Feng's lips curled up slightly involuntarily, revealing a very faint, silly smile.
He quickly took out his keys, opened the door, and slipped inside.
The door clicked shut.
Gu Feng leaned against the cold door and raised his hand to cover his burning cheeks.
My heart was still beating fast, with a strange yet surging excitement.
Ye Xi'an.
He murmured the name, a strange smile appearing on his otherwise cold and hard features.
