While Miss Wine was passionately discussing tactics, Bai Yue Ling was lying on her “Big Car,” steadily moving forward toward the Arena with each determined step. Along the way, Silver Tooth occasionally asked in a low, concerned voice, “Little White, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?”
“N-No…” Bai Yue Ling lied. She was actually feeling quite uncomfortable, but at the same time, she felt an indescribable, strange sensation.
In her ten playthroughs of the game, this was the first time she had ever experienced a feeling like this.
Her small face was flushed red, and her snow-white hair was damp with sweat, sticking together in clumps. It felt as if she were trapped in a crowded steamer basket, surrounded by stuffy, humid air. On one side was a warm, soft, moist sensation, and on the other was hard, cold armor.
However, as time passed, the originally cold armor gradually grew warm. She kept panting heavily, her breaths filled with Silver Tooth’s mature, unique scent. The warm sensation washed over her like a tide with every step. Closing her eyes, she could even hear a faint yet powerful heartbeat.
Bai Yue Ling had never experienced anything like this before. It was as if she had merged with another older sister, entrusting her entire body and mind to the other person, unable to escape.
There was no need to speak, no need to do anything. She just needed to express her attachment and quietly feel the other’s warmth and heartbeat.
She closed her eyes, feeling the soft collisions brought by the steps, listening to the conversations of the crowd outside. No one knew that beneath this tall, sturdy black armor, two people were hidden.
Bai Yue Ling slightly parted her cherry lips. Her small, sweat-drenched face gently rubbed against the surface, trying to wipe away the sweat that seeped out from the stuffiness and excitement. Yet, after moving around like this, there was even more sweat on her face—it wasn’t her own, but Silver Tooth’s sweat, carrying her unique mature scent.
Meanwhile, Silver Tooth’s steps gradually became unsteady, and a faint blush spread across her face.
She had never been intimate with anyone before, not even once. Before adulthood, she didn’t experience a normal school life like others but was forced by her family to undergo hellish training. After becoming an adult, she worked as a mercenary, traveling around the world, carrying out unknown missions in various hidden corners.
The real world could no longer offer her challenges, so she came to this virtual game seeking new thrills.
Having endured countless trials, she always believed herself to be a resolute and strong person. Yet, at this very moment, she felt so restless and agitated because of a young girl’s dependence.
“Hah… Hah…” Silver Tooth panted heavily as she continued forward under the gazes of passersby. With every step, she could feel the girl in her arms tremble slightly, followed by a warm breath against her chest. The girl seemed to be melting her iron-hard heart bit by bit, strongly asserting her own presence.
Gradually, her breathing also grew hot, and her heartbeat quickened even more, so fast that she even worried Bai Yue Ling would think her weak and incompetent.
“Calm down… Don’t be nervous… It’s just like carrying a backpack…” Silver Tooth muttered to herself, her originally firm gaze gradually becoming unfocused.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her, why she felt so tense and uneasy. Just like when she had gone three days in the wilderness without a drop of water, instinctively craving water, right now, she also instinctively felt a certain craving.
‘Could it be… that she was also instinctively craving Little White?’
She desperately denied this feeling, but the desire in her heart could not be deceived.
At this moment, Silver Tooth was unaware of the existence of “Charm Fragrance.”
In fact, from the moment she put on the head armor, this entire suit of armor became a sealed space, like a cage, trapping her inside, allowing the “Charm Fragrance” to continuously accumulate, ferment, and subtly erode her steel-like will.
Even steel will eventually melt one day, let alone a human heart.
Fortunately, Silver Tooth had not been “corrupted” by Bai Yue Ling, so the effect of “Charm Fragrance” on her was still limited. Otherwise, she would have likely lost her sanity by now.
As they moved forward, the outline of the circular Arena in the distance gradually became clearer, and the crowd grew larger. Many were spectators who had come to watch the battle between Bai Yue Ling and Blood Rain.
“Why? Doesn’t the Priest Hero have a higher overall combat power than Blood Rain?”
“I’m betting five hundred gold coins on Blood Rain to win!”
“Flying that slowly, Blood Rain is a sure win.”
“The rankings are just for reference. That so-called ‘Holy Ball,’ I’ve never even heard of it. What ‘Unnamed,’ ‘Lie Lie,’ ‘Silver Tooth’—these nobodies, what right do they have to rank above Blood Rain?”
“That ranking is just for fun. I don’t believe any of the nine people on it.”
“Big Sis is unbeatable! My Big Sis is number one in the world!”
The spectators’ discussions continuously reached the ears of the two. Silver Tooth silently advanced through the crowd, a faint sense of excitement rising within her at the thought of doing something shameful right under everyone’s watchful eyes.
In contrast, Bai Yue Ling was in a slightly better state. Her attention was almost entirely focused on Silver Tooth’s heartbeat, completely tuning out everything happening outside.
Just then, chaos erupted ahead.
A young girl wielding a giant scythe, followed by a group of fierce-looking underlings, was barging through the crowd, acting recklessly.
“Our Big Sis is invincible! Anyone who dares to support that Priest Hero, I’ll beat them until their teeth are scattered!”
“Hey, you little brat over there, didn’t you just say you liked the Priest Hero? Watch me slap you!”
“Kneel down and apologize to me right now, or you won’t make it back to the Resurrection Point alive today!”
Blood Sickle Hua stood arrogantly in the center of the crowd, forcing spectators to support Blood Rain. Under her intimidation, Blood Rain’s support rate rapidly climbed, even reaching eighty percent at one point, overwhelmingly leading Bai Yue Ling.
Silver Tooth took a deep breath, moved through the crowd, and slowly walked up to Blood Sickle Hua.
“Huh? You iron can look familiar?” Blood Sickle Hua stared at Silver Tooth for a good while before suddenly realizing, “Oh! You’re that—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Silver Tooth threw a punch, sending her flying straight into a wall, smashing a terrifying human-shaped hole into it.
“Little White, it’s your turn to speak,” Silver Tooth whispered.
Only then did Bai Yue Ling snap out of the ambiguous atmosphere. She took a deep breath and shouted loudly:
“I am the Priest Hero!”
With that, the two walked through the Arena gates under the shocked gazes of the onlookers.
“The Priest Hero… is that big? Wasn’t she supposed to be a little girl?”
“I don’t know, maybe it’s a new form?”
“Go, Priest Hero!”
