Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

Inside the pure white settlement space.

A deathly silence.

Xia Chaoyue felt like she had a very long dream.

In her dream, she became a little lamb thrown into a pack of wolves, surrounded by unseen terrifying beings, and no matter how hard she tried to draw her sword, she couldn't cut anything.

"Well……"

She groaned in pain and slowly opened her eyes.

What greets the eye is a blinding expanse of pure white.

Am I dead?

Xia Chaoyue sat up groggily, rubbing the back of her head that was still throbbing.

"That ghost bride...it's terrifying...she must be dead..."

Just then, a loud and cold mechanical voice exploded in her ears like thunder.

Congratulations to players Lin Xiao and Xia Chaoyue for successfully clearing the Hell difficulty dungeon "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"!

[Customs clearance assessment and settlement in progress...]

[Rule broken: Perfect!]

[Boss defeated/tamed: Perfect!]

[Exploration Level: 100%!]

Overall rating: SSS+!

The enormous golden characters floated in mid-air like a divine miracle, almost blinding Xia Chaoyue's beautiful, large eyes.

Xia Chaoyue froze.

She stared wide-eyed at the "SSS+" sign, her mind completely blank.

SSS+?

What kind of international joke is this?!

Since the advent of survival games, in China and even the world, very few people can get an SS rating in beginner dungeons, and SSS rating is a legendary existence!

And I... actually got SSS+?!

"Aaaaaah!!"

After three seconds of deathly silence, a high-decibel scream echoed throughout the settlement space.

Extreme excitement and ecstasy instantly overwhelmed Xia Chaoyue's rationality.

She sprang up from the ground like a cannonball, crashing directly into the figure standing not far away.

"Lin Xiao!! We beat it!! SSS+! A living SSS+!!"

boom!

Lin Xiao had just regained his footing when he was bumped into by a soft and supple body.

It must be said that although the president of the Peking University martial arts club has a bit of a temper, his physique is truly remarkable.

The astonishing impact, accompanied by a surging sensation, almost suffocated Lin Xiao.

"Cough cough... Let go... loosen your grip! You're going to strangle me!"

Lin Xiao struggled to pull his head out of that deep ravine.

Xia Chaoyue then realized that she had lost her composure and quickly let go of her hand, but she still couldn't suppress the excitement on her face.

"Incredible! Lin Xiao, how did you do that? That ghost bride is a seventh-tier being... no, according to the rules, she's even a ninth-tier being!"

Xia Chaoyue was so excited that she was incoherent and grabbed Lin Xiao's shoulders, shaking him violently.

"What happened after I fainted? Did you summon Su Daji? Or that fairy Chang'e? It must have been an earth-shattering battle, right?!"

Lin Xiao was shaken like a rattle drum and sighed helplessly.

"No summoning."

Ga?

Xia Chaoyue abruptly stopped, her face showing a look of utter disbelief.

"No...no summoning?" Her eyes widened.

"You didn't call her Sister Daji, nor Goddess Chang'e?"

"No." Lin Xiao shrugged.

Do I still need to summon?

This instance is now just like my home. I want to keep a low profile, but my strength won't allow it.

Xia Chaoyue was completely dumbfounded.

Didn't summon a mythical companion?

So how do you pass the level?

Can you rely on a low-level martial artist like him?

Don't be ridiculous! That's a ghost bride! It's a supernatural tale with rules! Physical attacks are completely ineffective!

Even she, the president of the martial arts club at Yanjing University, could only wait to die when facing someone of that level.

What makes Lin Xiao think he can win?

unless……

Xia Chaoyue's gaze suddenly froze on Lin Xiao's face.

More accurately, it was the two bright red, glistening lip prints, still smeared with saliva, that remained on Lin Xiao's left and right cheeks.

That was a woman's lip print.

Moreover, judging from the lingering chill... it's a female ghost's lip print!

boom!

Like a lightning bolt cleaving through the fog, Xia Chaoyue's brain raced at that moment, instantly completing a logically self-consistent and astonishing closed loop.

No partner was summoned.

There was no fighting; Lin Xiao's clothes were intact, with no signs of struggle.

The ghost bride not only let them pass, but also gave them an SSS+ rating.

And that ambiguous lip print...

And Lin Xiao's exhausted expression, as if his body had been hollowed out, was actually due to the overdraft of his spiritual power from using the Human Emperor's Qi.

there is only one truth!

Xia Chaoyue suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes instantly turning red.

She looked at Lin Xiao, her eyes shifting from shock to disbelief.

In the end, it turned into deep pity, guilt, and a touch of respect.

"Lin Xiao...you..."

Xia Chaoyue's voice was trembling.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xiao felt uneasy under her gaze and subconsciously touched his face.

"Oh, you mean this? They insisted on having this before they left..."

"Stop talking!"

Xia Chaoyue abruptly interrupted him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I understand! I know everything!"

She sniffed, her voice choked with emotion.

"That ghost bride...it's a ghost marriage scenario, right? She's got her eye on you, hasn't she?"

"To save me... to clear the game... you actually... you actually sacrificed your chastity and gave yourself to those two female ghosts..."

"Even... even both together..."

Xia Chaoyue imagined Lin Xiao being dragged into the bridal sedan chair by two female ghosts with tears in his eyes in order to protect her.

The image of her enduring humiliation under the red candlelight, being subjected to unrestrained sexual exploitation, and having to force a smile is heartbreaking.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is a spirit of selflessness and fearlessness!

Lin Xiao: "???"

No, what do you know?

What do you mean by "submitting oneself"? What do you mean by "innocence"?

I used the Emperor's Aura to scare them into kneeling, okay?!

"Let me explain, actually it's..." Lin Xiao was about to speak.

Xia Chaoyue, however, had already interrupted him with a resolute expression.

"No need to explain! This kind of thing... is a huge disgrace for a man, I understand your predicament!"

Xia Chaoyue took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision.

She suddenly squatted down, took off her shoes, and then slowly pulled off the stockings on her beautiful legs, revealing her tender and juicy legs.

A moment later, she held two black objects in her hands, her face flushed, and solemnly placed them into Lin Xiao's hand.

Those were two pairs of black stockings of excellent quality.

"This is... the payment from before."

Xia Chaoyue dared not look Lin Xiao in the eye, her face as red as a ripe tomato, her voice barely audible.

"Even though it's secondhand... since you have this... this special way of relieving stress, I'll... I'll consider it as repaying your life-saving grace!"

"Lin Xiao, from now on at Huayang Martial Arts University, if anyone dares to say you're a kept man, I, Xia Chaoyue, will be the first to chop them up!"

"You're a real man!!"

After saying that, Xia Chaoyue covered her face and randomly selected a reward from the blind box.

It transformed directly into a streak of light and was the first to rush out of the settlement space.

Lin Xiao was left standing alone, clutching two warm black stockings in his hands, which were disheveled in the wind.

"..."

"What a tragedy!!"

Lin Xiao looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

How the hell am I supposed to face anyone after this?!

My lifelong reputation has been ruined by these two tattered stockings!
