“We need to thoroughly document the process of crushing Priest Hero,”
Xue Zhongxun Mei said gravely. “I’ve already requested the guild leader to buy trending spots.”
She saw this battle as a major PR opportunity for Sky Treader Guild, using the viral player—Priest Hero—as a stepping stone.
By recording the terrifying damage of her Holy Light Orbs and proving she was cheating, Sky Treader could frame itself as the righteous avenger, flipping public opinion in their favor.
Beside Xue Zhongxun Mei, a girl in sunglasses patted her chest.
“Don’t worry, Vice Leader. I’ll record it perfectly.”
With that, she climbed a treetop, ready to capture everything.
Though World of Fate didn’t yet support live streaming, some players had obtained video-recording items.

As Xue Zhongxun Mei rallied her guild members with righteous fervor, denouncing the “vile cheater” Priest Hero, Bai Yue Ling emerged from the castle, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
“Ugh, almost overslept…”
A breeze rustled her mini-skirt, briefly revealing her long, shapely legs and round hips.
Standing at the end of the suspension bridge, she struck a defiant pose, as if single-handedly guarding a fortress.
“Just a bunch of useless trash fish big sisters,” she taunted.
“Your pathetic, incompetent lives will be haunted by guilt for bullying a little girl today!”
Her words stirred unease among the Sky Treader members.
“She’s just a priest a head shorter than me. Ganging up on her feels kinda low, doesn’t it?”
“She’s a defenseless girl. I can’t bring myself to attack…”
“You idiots! Getting soft right before a fight? Forgot how deadly her Holy Light Orbs are?”
Xue Zhongxun Mei barked. “Follow my plan—attack!”
At her command, twenty guild members split off, forming neat rows and advancing toward Bai Yue Ling.
Expressionless, Bai Yue Ling tossed a Holy Light Orb to test their strategy.
On the narrow bridge, the twenty players were cramped, with no room to dodge the incoming orb.
But they didn’t even try.
Instead, archers in the middle drew their bows, firing arrows directly at the orb.
Pointless… Bai Yue Ling thought.
Normal arrows would just burn to ash against the dense holy light, unable to stop the orb’s advance.
To her surprise, the moment the arrows touched the orb, it exploded instantly.
The shockwave rocked the bridge slightly but didn’t reach the advancing Sky Treader members, who pressed forward steadily.
“Didn’t see that coming, huh?” Xue Zhongxun Mei smirked smugly.
“I spent all night testing with our guild’s priests. Holy Light Orbs detonate automatically when they touch a living thing.”
A living thing… Bai Yue Ling frowned. “What did you put on those arrows?”
“Heh…” Xue Zhongxun Mei held up a bag.
“I had my people catch hundreds of ants. More than enough to deal with you!”
By triggering the orb’s explosion before it reached its attack range, it dealt no damage.
For Bai Yue Ling, who relied solely on Holy Light Orbs for offense, this effectively neutered her attack.
“Let’s see how you handle my assault!” Xue Zhongxun Mei ordered.
“Archers and mages, on my signal—fire!”
A barrage of arrows and fireballs rained down. Bai Yue Ling raised her Slime Cape to block, but her health still took a hit.
She had to go on the offensive.
Her gaze sharpened, and she suddenly sprinted forward, her white skirt flaring back, charging straight at the Sky Treader members.
“Trying to close the distance?” Xue Zhongxun Mei sneered.
“Perfect—let her kill a few. Once we capture her one-shotting people with those orbs, everyone will believe she’s cheating.”
Someone nearby hesitated. “But… is she actually cheating?”
“Of course she is! No normal Holy Light Orb does that much damage.”
“Then if she’s cheating, why stick to Holy Light Orbs? Why not just ‘hack harder’ and wipe us all out?”
“…I don’t know.”
***
Meanwhile, the front line—warriors, assassins, and fighters—brandished their weapons, grinning greedily at the approaching silver-haired, busty priest.
They were ready to “welcome” this uninvited guest.
Her vaunted Holy Light Orbs could be preemptively detonated by arrows, and her fragile frame couldn’t withstand ranged attacks.
Everything seemed to be going according to Xue Zhongxun Mei’s plan, leaving Bai Yue Ling no chance to turn the tables.
But then, Bai Yue Ling flashed a mocking smile.
“You think I only know how to throw Holy Light Orbs?”
She skidded to a stop, raising her slender hand and aiming her staff at the oncoming enemies.
Panting softly, she channeled the allure hidden beneath her pristine dress, casting a teasing glance at the big sisters before her, her cherry lips parting:
“Charm-Sorrow Infusion!”
[Equipment Name: Staff of Charm-Sorrow]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack Power: Moderate]
[Equip Conditions: Spirit 30]
[Attribute Bonus: Spirit A]
[Additional Skill: “Charm-Sorrow Infusion” – Forcibly imbues the target with charm and sorrow, causing them to lose hostility toward the caster and protect them instead.]
[Description: A Staff of Sorrow embedded with a charm gem, exuding a succubus’s unique fragrance while subtly imparting succubus traits to its user.]
[Note: If you keep using charm to tease big sisters, then ditch them with sorrow, what’s the difference between you and a succubus?]
After embedding the charm gem, the Staff of Sorrow had been greatly enhanced.
Its quality upgraded from Fine to Excellent, and its attribute bonus jumped from B to A.
Most crucially, the original sorrow effect, now fused with charm, created a complex emotion that indirectly achieved a “command” effect.
Under Charm-Sorrow Infusion, the approaching melee fighters halted, their gazes locked onto the silver-haired girl as if entranced.
“I can’t… I can’t hurt her. I have to protect Priest Hero…”
“Wah… Priest Hero saved me when I was in despair…”
“Priest Hero lit up my miserable life!”
Their bodies swayed, faint pink mist swirling in their eyes.
Bai Yue Ling smirked triumphantly, like a seasoned succubus seducing the enthralled big sisters to turn around.
“That’s right, you useless trash fish. Raise your weapons and let me squeeze out the last of your pathetic value!”
Warriors, assassins, and fighters—formidable melee classes—turned and attacked their own ranged allies.
To ensure they gave it their all, Bai Yue Ling added with full disdain,
“As thanks, I’ll graciously let you dream of a cute, seductive, busty girl tonight~”
