Get in the car.
Lin Zhao quickly drove the sports car into a street corner and stopped, saying, "I need to tell Mo Chenxue. Since the Ghost King has malicious intentions, we shouldn't have any further entanglement with him."
"Hmm, how should I say it?"
Ding Chi frowned, "Don't tell me you've already added her as a WeChat friend?"
"No."
Lin Zhao said, "I'll log into the game platform with my account and send her a message as a stranger from the platform."
"Yes, that's a good idea!"
...
The red Ferrari sped through the streets, the city buildings on both sides receding.
Mo Chenxue's expression was very lost. She came from a very poor background. Her parents left home years ago to scavenge and never returned. They were shot and killed by mercenaries in VTOL gunships as if they were prey. Their bodies were brought back incomplete. The steel they had collected was untouched. Those private armed mercenaries weren't there to rob them, but simply to kill for pleasure.
Mo Chenxue hated this world, she hated all violence and all inequality.
But she was beautiful and attractive since she was young. As she grew up, she became the most beautiful girl in the alley. Many people pursued her, and even many bosses wanted to take care of the little flower from the slums. But Mo Chenxue hated all force and capital. So, no matter how poor she was, she never bowed down. She worked in a factory, her hands rough and calloused, but she had no regrets. She felt that a person should live with a clear conscience.
Therefore, even though the Ghost King offered such a tempting price, millions of universal currency, enough for an ordinary person to live in luxury for a lifetime, Mo Chenxue remained unmoved. On the contrary, the more she looked at the Ghost King's handsome face, the more disgusted she felt. You think you can possess my body just because you have a little money, what are you?
"Beep!"
The phone let out a soft sound. Mo Chenxue's game account received a message from a stranger. When her eyes fell on the ID of the sender, her heart couldn't help but pound. It was him.
Bai Yi: "Mo Chenxue, the Ghost King just drugged your coffee. Under the cover of 'Embers', I swapped my coffee with yours, so the coffee you drank was actually mine. But the Ghost King must think you've already drunk his drug, and he will definitely pester you endlessly. You should open your phone now and download an 'One-Click Alarm' app. If the Ghost King makes any improper moves or tries to force you, just press the one-click alarm. The nearby police will quickly locate your position and help you. Although the Ghost King is rich, he absolutely doesn't have the power to cover the sky with one hand in Su City. I hope you can protect yourself after you get out of trouble and don't let your guard down with anyone again."
"..."
Mo Chenxue looked at the lines of text in the message, tears welling up in her eyes. This was the only person since childhood who had treated her well without asking for anything in return.
She gently opened her phone, first replied to Lin Zhao with a 'thank you', then downloaded the one-click alarm. After that, she looked outside and said, "My home is almost here. Alliance Leader, please stop at the intersection ahead."
"We're here already?"
The Ghost King held the steering wheel with one hand and reached for Mo Chenxue's legs with the other. He let the system assist with driving and said with a smile, "We have to part so soon? I'm really a bit reluctant. How about... I go to your place for a while?"
"No need."
Mo Chenxue frowned and quickly pushed away the Ghost King's hand, saying, "Alliance Leader, I really need to get off the car."
"Why get off?"
The Ghost King thought the drug had started to take effect. His lips were full of a wicked smile. "Don't get off, come back with me directly. How about getting into my bed? My bed is big and comfortable, Hahaha~~~~"
"Alliance Leader!"
Mo Chenxue reached for the car door and said, "If you keep doing this, I'll jump out of the car."
"How will you jump?"
The Ghost King smiled, "I've already locked the car doors."
"You..."
Mo Chenxue gritted her teeth, protected her phone with both hands, and showed the one-click alarm interface to the Ghost King. "If you don't stop now, I'll press it. It won't be good for you or me!"
"You!"
The Ghost King was furious. This really scared him a bit. Although the Ghost King had always been wealthy and influential in Su City and knew many powerful people, if Mo Chenxue really called the police and this matter was exposed, could those drinking and eating buddies he knew suppress it? It was probably difficult, and the final result might be beyond his control.
However, the drug had already been administered, and the cooked duck had flown away. This gave the Ghost King a strong sense of frustration.
Mo Chenxue was very beautiful. She was one of the four great beauties of the national server!
The other three, Shen Xingchen and Leng Yan, one was the heir to the Shen Group, and the other was the heir to the Xu Group. Neither dared to offend them. Chen Xue was already in the Scarlet Moon Knights, so she couldn't have her either. That left only Mo Chenxue. Imagine, being able to get one of the four great beauties of the national server into bed, what a glorious achievement that would be!
The next moment, the Ghost King stopped the car.
He looked at Mo Chenxue with deep affection and said, "Xiao Xue, I'm sorry... Maybe I was too hasty. I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings. I'm sorry... I will compensate you well, and I will give you time. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
"Open the door."
Mo Chenxue said coldly, her face unreadable.
"Got it."
The Ghost King said, "Really, don't be angry. I was impulsive just now. I apologize here. You can go back. I'll wait for your news. Today, tomorrow, and every day after that, I'll be waiting for your news."
Mo Chenxue opened the door and got out of the car, not looking back.
"Damn it!"
The Ghost King watched her retreating figure, looking at her simple but still perfectly shaped body, and sneered, "You're pure, you're arrogant, right? Just you wait, I'll get you into bed sooner or later. Then I'll crush all your pathetic dignity and make you kneel before me and beg for mercy!"
...
Scarlet Moon Knights, Studio.
Lin Zhao and Ding Chi logged in after installing the proxy accelerator.
In a forest, Lin Zhao frowned and said, "Shen Xingchen, Ah Xue, come here for a moment. Ding Chi and I have something to tell you."
"Oh?"
Shen Xingchen and Chen Xue walked over side by side.
Under a maple tree, Lin Zhao and Ding Chi recounted what they had seen and heard. Shen Xingchen and Chen Xue were both so angry that they gritted their teeth.
"How can people be so shameless?"
Chen Xue's shoulders trembled, "Mo Chenxue's current situation is too dangerous."
"Yes."
Shen Xingchen said, "Facing someone like the Ghost King, ordinary girls have only two outcomes. One is compromise, becoming one of the Ghost King's women. The other is being forced or harmed. The Ghost King is a standard scoundrel. A woman he desires but cannot obtain will make him twisted. I heard that the Ghost King's 'Prosperous Peony Group' has some ties with some underground organizations in Su City. Perhaps the Ghost King will soon take action against her in reality."
"What should we do?"
Lin Zhao frowned and said, "Should we help her when we see injustice, or wait?"
"Why do you say that?"
Shen Xingchen asked, "Given your personality, shouldn't you help her without hesitation?"
"I've already helped her out of a predicament once."
Lin Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "In the game, I learned a lesson: when you want to help someone, you can't just rush to help. Rushing to do good deeds can sometimes be counterproductive. So I need to know Mo Chenxue's attitude. What if she compromises? Will my act of helping become a joke?"
"I'll talk to her."
Chen Xue said, "You guys don't need to worry about this. I'll talk to Mo Chenxue in detail. As for Lin Zhao, you're a man, and sometimes Mo Chenxue might not want to say certain things."
"Right."
Shen Xingchen smiled and said, "It's most appropriate for Chen Xue to handle this matter."
"Got it."
Lin Zhao nodded, "Ah Xue, then I'll leave this to you. Every second in this world, evil may be happening, and we can't manage all of it. But if we encounter it, we must intervene."
"Yes, I know!"
Chen Xue smiled slightly and began to contact Mo Chenxue.
...
Late at night.
Lin Zhao had already reached level 68. His leveling speed in the past few days was not slow. After defeating the newly respawned Titan Spirit again and helping Zhang Jun awaken a Sword Lake, the Scarlet Moon Knights' advantage in controlling the main resources of the secret realm maps became apparent. Lu Han, Ding Chi, Zhang Jun, and Deep Blue Blade had all awakened a Sword Lake. Chen Xue, Roman, and Young Wanderer had awakened Sacred Swords. Lu Li and Qing Ning had awakened protective magic treasures. The number of people in the Scarlet Moon Knights who had awakened their class talents exceeded a hundred. Their overall strength was second to none in Cloud City.
"Rustle..."
In his free time, Lin Zhao rode his horse along the edge of the Scarlet Moon Knights' territory in the secret realm map. Not far away was a main leveling team from Prosperous Peony. Ghost King, Fan Wang Zhi Xue, Bi Yi Jian Zhong, Fei Long Zai Tian, and a nomad, Mo Chenxue. However, Mo Chenxue's expression was blank.
"Ghost King."
Lin Zhao rode his horse in front of them and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. Your Prosperous Peony shouldn't go any further. This is Scarlet Moon Knights' territory. Don't cause any friction, it'll be troublesome for us to deal with."
"Indeed, indeed..."
The Ghost King smiled slightly, "It's late at night. Alliance Leader Bai Yi isn't resting with the three beauties Shen Xingchen, Chen Xue, and Roman? Still patrolling online?"
Lin Zhao couldn't help but chuckle, "My relationship with Shen Xingchen, Chen Xue, and Roman is pure. They sleep their sleep, and I sleep mine. Why should we be together?"
Fan Wang Zhi Xue grinned and said, "As expected of Alliance Leader Bai Yi, pure and noble, unlike our king who not only has three thousand harem members but also goes out to 'hunt' frequently, tsk tsk~~~"
The Ghost King frowned, "Fan Wang, you damn bastard, say less!"
"You're getting anxious, then I won't say it."
Fan Wang Zhi Xue laughed heartily.
Lin Zhao nodded, "Then you guys level up, I'm leaving. It's indeed time to log off and rest."
"Yes!"
Mo Chenxue glanced at Lin Zhao again and secretly sent a friend request. This was the first and only time she had actively added a male player as a friend since entering "The World."
...
She sent a message: "I'm very well now. I'm living with my best friend, and the security in the vicinity is good. The contract with Prosperous Peony still has half a month to go. I definitely won't renew the contract after it expires. And... thank you, Alliance Leader Bai Yi..."
Lin Zhao replied as he rode away, "You're welcome. Send me a message if you need help."
"Okay!"
