Time Chapter 2

 Chapter 2.1 – Someone else’s wedding

Sugar daddy?

Time pa.s.ses especially fast on weekends. Play a few online games, sleep, and it’s already over.

On Monday, Yao Yuan went to work. In the afternoon, cousin Yao Xin Ran came to her school to meet her for lunch.

On the pair’s road to the cafeteria, the usually carefree Yao Xin Ran even laughingly said: “Recently you and the Great Master’s rumors are very hot. Our clan’s people are also talking about if you really married Jun Lin Tian Xia, then our clan will attain heavenly status by a.s.sociation.”

Yao Yuan was speechless, she objectively told her cousin approximately what happened in the last few days.

After listening, Yao Xin Ran chirped in: “You could see it as a fabricated rumour to recruit you into the clan or this Great Master is just too bored. Especially the 999 gold coins, is he completely playing with you?”

Yao Yuan could only sigh.

After eating lunch, Yao Xin Ran turned on her computer and ran towards her cousin and said: “Tonight I will go on Prosperous Century to play, you should also go on, there will be a ‘good show’.”

Yao Xin Ran didn’t say what kind of ’good show’.

But that night after Yao Yuan went online she immediately knew. Whether it was the world channel or her own clan’s channel, they were all discussing that night’s World Clan’s vice clan leader Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong and Prosperous Century’s number one beauty, Shui Diao Ge Yao’s extravagant wedding.

Actually this news was on the world channel last week, Yao Yuan just never gossiped, she saw it but never took it to heart.

This time Yao Xin Ran sent Yao Yuan a message: “It’s been said that the number one beauty used to be Jun Lin Tian Xia’s girlfriend but at that time the number one beauty still did not post a picture, so did not have the t.i.tle, number one beauty. It’s been said, after the number one beauty started dumping photos, Jun Lin Tian Xia dumped her. So it has been said, Jun Lin Tian Xia  is not “gay” but a witch (female playing as a male). It has been said in the end, Jun Lin Tian Xia heard the ‘stories’, after a calm moment ,turned the rumour starter to dust.”

Yao Yuan: “…”

Naturally, other people also heard these stories. Ah Mi sighed in the clan chat and said: “You saw the pictures Shui Diao Ge Yao posted? What a beauty, andJun Lian Tian Xia dumped her!”

Hua Kai: “Then number one beauty is pretty hilarious. Your sister, I, still haven’t posted my own photos, where does this number one come from?”

Ah Mi: “Ha ha ha next time Hua Hua goes to the chat to post a photo, I would definitely support you!”

Ya Xi Ya: “It’s been said, last time our clan leader said that her cousin is the actual beauty. So it is actually Sister Jun, he he!”

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “Sigh, don’t speak nonsense.”

Duo La A Meng: “Sister Jun is online? Sister, you and Jun Lin Tian Xia clan leader….what is your actual relations.h.i.+p? In big clans, weddings of important people are conducted in Sky Palace. You need a wedding invitation to get in. If you and their clan leader are close, we can obtain the wedding invitation to go and join in the festivities. I really want to go. I have never been to a wedding. Besides, this time it is such a big wedding. I truly want to go observe.”

Yao Yuan saw the high spirits of little girl and really did not want to dampen her excitement, but… “Jun Lin Tian Xia and I are really not that close.”

As she just finished her sentence, a notification appeared in her personal chat, Jun Lin Tian Xia: “Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong and Shui Diao Ge Yao are having a wedding, do you want to attend?”

Yao Yuan thought, If this was sent on the world channel to ask her, he would have put her on the spot.

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “Me? I am not that close to him though.”

Jun Lin Tian Xia: “No problem. I will be there.”

The problem is, brother, you and I are also not that close right?

This time, this moment’s turn of events made Yao Yuan lose her ability to speak, she could only send the expression: >__<)o>

Afterwards, a group of people entered Sky Palace, including Ruo Wei Jun Gu.

Ruo Wei Jun Gu went in under attack from both sides, outside attacks such as —–  

Wen Ru Yu: “Before I thought it was weird, today clan leader even personally came out to to pick up a guest. It is actually because he is waiting for sister-in-law.”

Luo Shui: “Ru Yu you really aren’t afraid of death! Hi sister-in-law!”

Internal attacks such as —-

Hua Kai: “Sister-in-law?!”

Duo La A Meng: “Hahahahahaha!”

Ah Mi: “Sister Jun has actually become Mrs. Jun Lin Tian Xia? Oh my G.o.d!” etc.

And this is how in the chaos, Ruo Wei Jun Gu was controlled by Jun Lin Tian Xia and brought into Sky Palace.

General control, Jun Lin Tian Xia: “Ruo, show your wedding invitation.”

Yao Yuan, felt like it was an out of body experience when she pressed the wedding invitation.

Jun Lin Tian Xia: “Press ‘OK’.”

Pressed ‘OK’

 

Chapter 2.2 – Someone else’s wedding

In the luxurious palace, even though there are less people here compared to outside, the people coming and going are all the game’s strongest people!

Duo La A Meng: “Hahahahahahahahaha!”

Hua Kai: “Little A, can you stop yammering? It is making my head hurt!”

Ah Mi: “Sister Jun, no need to be so distant. Someone is scared because there are a lot of powerful people.”

Hua Kai: “Then you should take the initiative to go over to Little Jun.”

Ah Mi: “ But, but the people beside Little Jun are the strongest of the strong!”

Hua Kai: “It was your suggestion! ”

The one standing beside Ruo Wei Jun Gu was that legendary G.o.dly person,Jun Lin Tian Xia. And he was the center of half the screen, there wasn’t a lot of people who dare to casually step foot in there. But he has been seen through, actually because this Great Master usually does things too heartlessly, too sharp, made it lack in affinity.

Other than the far away World Clan Treasurer, Wen Ru Yu said: “Clan leader, do you need to come to announce the auspicious hour?”

The crowd looks towards the Great Master.

In the nearby channel the G.o.d, Jun Lin Tian Xia, slowly typed: “No interest, it isn’t my wedding.”

In regards to this logic, the crowd was unable to understand the ‘G.o.d’.

When Yao Yuan heard these words, why did she feel that there was a deeper meaning? In addition, the people in their clan called her sister-in-law. What game is he trying to play?

Yao Yuan felt that him standing beside her gave her a feeling of an uncertain future. She is also not one to guess at a person’s heart. She also does not want to be tricked. So she straightforwardly asked: “Great Master, you let your friends call me…. that…you are joking right?”

Jun Lin Tian Xia: “No, I instructed them to.”

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “…”

Yao Yuan suddenly remembered a point: “The number one beauty who is about to get married was said to have had a relations.h.i.+p with him? Could it be that he wants to use her to get back at the beauty? That is also not right, wasn’t it said that he dumped the beauty?”

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “Great Master, what is your relations.h.i.+p with the number one beauty?” Yao Yuan didn’t have any ulterior motives when she asked.

This time, Jun Lin Tian Xia didn’t respond in the private chat nor the nearby chat rooms. This Great Master directly replied on the world chat: “Ruo Wei Jun Gu, you asked me what my relations.h.i.+p with Shui Diao Ge Yao is. There is no relations.h.i.+p. Since the beginning, I only had you in my heart.”

Yao Yuan wasn’t just stunned and speechless, her heart skipped two beats. She was so scared that she started to have hiccups.

Ah Mi: “Sister Jun! I really don’t have a chance anymore?!”

Hua Kai: “Hehe, Little Jun often surprises us. Like, during last time’s quest, we didn’t have enough people so she played as if she was three people. Too cool! Like when someone called for someone to take up the duty of protecting beautiful maidens, she went to sign up! Like when she claimed Jun Lin Tian Xia as hers! I can’t help but love her!”。

Yao Yuan thought helplessly, no matter how she explains the situation, it’ll be useless.

There were also the World Clan’s members. Luo Shui: “So loving, really makes people envious.”

Wen Ru Yu scoffed at Luo Shui: “Envious of clan leader or sister-in-law?” because Luo Shui was a transvest.i.te character.

Luo Shui: “Scram!”

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “Sister-in-law, can you PK with me one more time?” Thinking of last time, that couple ruined their clan leader’s reputation. During that time, the mighty clan leader suddenly became very concerned about his reputation. All the people who said he sleeps around or is not a trustworthy person have all been put under a kill order. PK lovers hate that, it’s so embarra.s.sing! He’s never been PKed by a female gamer before. The most important point is that her equipment isn’t even top grade. He deceived himself: “Must be a transvest.i.te!” Of course, now he doesn’t dare think that (since she is now the clan leader’s wife).

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “I suddenly thought, if I PK with sister-in-law and win, then boss definitely wouldn’t let me go, then I’ll need to die anyways, jiu jie [1]!”

[1] 纠结 (jiū jié): usually used to describe 囧, a facial expression depicting sadness and a sense of distraught.

Wen Ru Yu: “Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “Really!? Boss won’t kill me?”

Wen Ru Yu: “I meant that you cannot win against sister-in-law. Also, according to my understanding of clan leader, you won’t even have a chance to touch his ‘property’ without his permission. That is, before you PK sister-in-law, he will kill you already ^_^”

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “…”

 

 Chapter 2.3 – Someone else’s wedding

At this time, Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong  who was wearing a groom’s attire, walked towards Jun Lin Tian Xia. The bride, Shui Diao Ge Yao, followed beside him.

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “Clan leader sama, anyhow, today is my wedding, please don’t steal my limelight OK?” Then he looked at Ruo Wei Jun Gu and said, “Sister-in-law, although our clan leader can be a little too cruel, he is a very nice person. Sister-in-law, don’t carelessly accept him, xoxo [1].”

[1] The author used 么么哒 which is essentially the Chinese version of “xoxo” ref

World Clan’s deputy clan leader is a bit too… how do I put it? Aren’t cruel and nice very contradicting? And there really isn’t anything between your clan leader and I, what xoxo. Yao Yuan quietly complained in her heart but was unable to return to the past.

Wen Ru Yu: “Well, Lao Cang (Old Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong), seems that most guests have arrived, let’s start the wedding ceremony?”

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “OK!”

There are more than fifty ‘modes’ of weddings in Prosperous Century. Gamers could choose in accordance to their own preferences.

The deputy clan leader of the World Clan’s wedding started. In front of the officiator’s stage was a priest holding a bible, gently smiling at all the guests and the newlyweds.

【Server】Prosperous Century’s fleeting time, hundred flowers simultaneously blooming，today we are here together to witness this couple’s happiness.

Guests give their blessings.

【Server】Do you, Mister Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong, take Miss Shui Diao Ge Yao to be your wife, to forever be happy for her sake and to share her misfortunes? Please choose: A, I am willing. B, I am not willing, it is impossible.

Everyone was laughing and jeering: “So this is a forced marriage.”

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong didn’t know whether to choose A or B, the outcome will be the same anyways.

【Server】Do you, Miss Shui Diao Ge Yao, take Mister Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong to be your husband, to forever be happy for his sake and to share his misfortunes? Please choose: A, Pending. B, Resolve in private.

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “So cruel, who chose this mode?”

Wen Ru Yu: “The person who paid.”

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “Ah Wen (Wen Ru Yu), you paid? What a rare occurance, so generous!”

Wen Ru Yu: “It wasn’t me, it was clan leader.”

“…”

Luo Shui: “Clan leader is always this cruel.”

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “Clan leader, you’re becoming more and more savage. I’m so tired, I’ve lost the ability to love /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~”

While everyone was laughing, Yao Yuan saw Shui Diao Ge Yao looking in Jun Lin Tian Xia’s direction. Jun Lin Tian Xia was looking at Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong. Suddenly, she declared: “Actually, the person that clan leader likes is deputy clan leader right?”

Everyone: “…”

Luo Shui: “I have finally seen someone who dares to joke with clan leader in my lifetime!”

In the circle of people wors.h.i.+pping and rolling on the ground laughing, Yao Yuan cries. She’s read all types of novels so it’s easy for her to have the wrong idea. (Implying that Yao Yuan has creative ideas because she’s read a lot of novels.)

Right when Yao Yuan wanted to mend the hole after the sheep was stolen [2],Jun Lin Tian Xia turned towards her and said on the nearby chat room: “Do I need to kill him to prove that the one I care about is you?”

[2] To patch things up so no further damage is caused. Based on the anecdote “It is never too late to mend“.

“…”

The people that were there that day couldn’t help but sigh. Of course, there were many different reasons for them to sigh.

Those who were wors.h.i.+pping Jun Lin Tian Xia: “Jun Lin clan leader and his wife are so cute!”

Those great masters who were both friends and foes of Jun Lin Tian Xia: “Jun Lin Tian Xia, you are ruthless. You push the limits, even for love!”

The three from Hundred Flower Hall: “From now on, there probably won’t be anyone who dares to bully our Hundred Flower Hall right?”

That day, Yao Yuan had hiccups before she went offline. Yes, she was still hiccuping. Jun Lin Tian Xia sent her a message on their private chat, making Yao Yuan suddenly stop having hiccups.

“You’ve saved me before, so, I have come to repay you.”
