Chapter 499: Chapter 122: The Decision to Win_3
Yue Ji giggled and said, "I just wanted to see if he’s been slacking off these past few years. Hmm, seems like his martial arts is pretty good! Ah Dai, we should spar when we get a chance." Her gaze unwittingly fell on Xuan Yue, causing her brows to crease. She grabbed Xuan Yue’s shoulder and asked, "Sister Yue Yue, why are you dressed like this, like a boy?"
Xuan Yue nearly fainted at her words. Her face changed color and she struggled to control her racing heart. She said awkwardly, "You, you must be Sister Yue Ji, right? I’m not Yue Yue. I’m Yue Yue’s older brother Xuan Re. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Wow, your hand is heavy, could you lighten up a bit?" She did not know whether Yue Ji had seen through her disguise, so she tried her best to hide it.
Yue Ji released her hand and said in surprise, "So you’re not Yue Yue! You two do really look alike, huh? Got it, you must be her twin brother, right?"
Xuan Yue heaved a sigh of relief, slightly panting as she replied, "You managed to guess that, impressive."
Moon Scar said, "Little sister, stop messing around and sit down. Ah Dai and I are reminiscing, you know. You’re quite old to still be so stubborn, no wonder ..."
Yue Ji interjected, "No wonder what? No wonder I can’t get married, right? Well, I don’t want to marry, hmph. Ah Dai, do you think I’m pretty?"
Ah Dai was taken aback. He wouldn’t dare offend Yue Ji and hastily said, "Pretty, very pretty."
Yue Ji said, "That’s right. I won’t just marry anyone, I want someone who can protect me. What were you guys talking about? Fill me in."
Moon Scar began to appear irritated by Yue Ji’s clamor and said sternly, "Little sister, be quiet. We also have two guests here."
Yue Ji looked startled and turned toward Kino and Olivia. Olivia smiled slightly, "Hello, Miss Yue Ji. I’m Olivia, a Wind Magician." When he saw Yue Ji, he began to quietly compare her in his mind to the clan leader of the Yajin Tribe, Di Ya. Yue Ji may have been a little less attractive than Di Ya, but she had a wild spirit and bravado that Di Ya didn’t have. It was a toss-up.
Kino also stood up. Ever since Yue Ji entered the room, he hadn’t taken his eyes off her. Her curvaceous figure and the curling red hair were captivating. Kino’s honest face turned red and he lowered his head, not daring to meet Yue Ji’s gaze. He muttered, "Hello, Miss Yue Ji. I am Kino, a Fire Mage."
Yue Ji’s gaze moved from Olivia and landed on Kino. She wasn’t interested in handsome, polite men like Olivia. She found Kino’s shyness amusing and teased, "So men can blush too! Look Brother, you always say no one would want me, but his face turned red when he saw me! "
Kino wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. His heart raced and he was too embarrassed to speak. Moon Scar said impatiently, "Enough, Kino is an honest guy, don’t bully him."
Yue Ji leaned in towards Kino and smiled, "Did I bully you?" As she spoke, a faint fragrance from her reached Kino’s nose. Kino’s head began to feel hot. Seeing her charming face so close, he hastily said, "No, no. It’s my fault."
Yue Ji giggled again and said, "You look so interesting when you blush! Now that we have a few more mages, we are even more confident in dealing with those bastards who dare challenge us. They call themselves the ’Overlord Mercenary Group’, I can’t wait to see them end up as losers. Ah Dai, you’ll help us, right?"
Ah Dai, seeing Kino’s plight, feared Yue Ji might turn her attention to him. He quickly said, "Of course. We were just discussing the strategy with Brother Moon Scar. Brother Moon Scar, let’s do as Brother Xuan Re suggested. We will certainly do our best."
Moon Scar looked at Ah Dai hesitantly. This was about the fate of thousands of people in the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, and he couldn’t make a rash decision. He still believed that two men against five hundred was an impossible victory. Seeing her brother’s hesitation, Yue Ji asked, "What’s been said? How are you planning to deal with those jerks?"
Moon Scar sighed and said, "Brother Xuan Re suggested that he and Brother Ah Dai alone carry out the group battle with their strength."
Yue Ji looked surprised and glanced at Ah Dai and Xuan Yue uncertainly. "You’re not joking, are you?"
Xuan Yue said, "Of course, we’re not joking. We trust in our abilities. Sister Yue Ji, you have nothing to worry about."
Yue Ji jumped to her feet, her eyes glittering with excitement. She exclaimed, "Great! That’s pretty audacious, I like it. Ah Dai, if you two can really defeat them all by yourselves, then I’ll marry you. How about it?" Seeing Ah Dai and Xuan Yue’s faces change, she giggled and added, "I’m just kidding! You have Sister Yue Yue, how could you possibly want me?"
Ah Dai finally breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Sister, if you continue like this, I’m afraid I’ll be scared to death before I can even help you guys in the group fight."
Moon Scar glared at Yue Ji and said, "Brother Ah Dai, I feel like this is not something to be careless about. If only the two of you are going to fight, it’s too dangerous and I can’t be at ease. We should carry out the group battle according to our original plan. If we lose, then you can fight one-on-one."
