Chapter 1544: Chapter 6: The Encounter

For the Conquerors, this private party lacked sincerity and thus fizzled out without consequence. The organizer didn’t seem to mind and for two consecutive days, Tang Zheng didn’t see any follow-up actions.

It had become a priority to help Xu Biyun resolve her issues and leave the Trojan Room. The arcade girl had been progressively growing more despondent, indulging in self-denial and doubt. When a person loses their confidence, their life is pretty much doomed.

"At the Botanic Garden? Okay, wait for me." After arranging a time with Biyun, Tang Zheng hung up the phone, donned his suit, and prepared to leave. "Meiqin, aren’t you coming?"

"No, I won’t." Although they had known each other for a long time, the relationship between Pang Meiqin and Xu Biyun was just average. Besides, she had no interest in playing psychologist and would rather stay home watching soap operas.

The afternoon sunlight was slightly scorching, heating up the ground. When Tang Zheng arrived at the Botanic Garden, the arcade girl had just come off the roller coaster, sweaty from the excitement.

"That was so thrilling." Bai Guo wore a light blue chiffon dress that fell just above the knees, airy and cool with a flocculent texture, paired with pink sandals, exuding total sweetness.

"Playing video games is more fun than this." Xu Biyun originally wanted to go to the arcade, but was reluctantly dragged here by Natural Stupid. "Tang Zheng, we are over here."

Xu Biyun waved, the arcade girl still in her gender-neutral outfit — a T-shirt paired with cropped jeans, bursting with energy.

"I’ll go buy some ice cream." Bai Guo dashed towards the nearby snack bar, her massive chest jiggling and drawing stealthy glances from the men around.

"Playing this at midday, aren’t you afraid of getting tanned?" It seemed like the weather was against Tang Zheng; no sooner had he spoken than a breeze picked up, gathering dark clouds on the horizon.

"Worst case, I’ll just use some points to whiten my skin." Xu Biyun glanced at Tang Zheng, hesitant to speak. She understood the reason he had sought her out.

"Wow, it melts so fast!" Bai Guo, bumbling as usual, carried three ice creams as she ran back, only to collide with a little girl who was also running about.

"Be careful!" Bai Guo instinctively reached out to steady the little girl, but due to their awkward postures, although she managed to hold her, she fell and twisted her ankle.

The ice cream dropped, with one sticking to her dress, leaving a damp trace. The chiffon fabric was rather thin, revealing the outline of her underwear.

The little girl, startled, burst into tears crying.

"How can someone your age be so careless!" Tang Zheng hurried over and took the little girl from Bai Guo’s arms. "Little sister, are you hurt? Biyun, go buy some more ice cream."

"I’m so sorry, it was my fault for not keeping an eye on her." The girl’s mother was very understanding, knowing her child had been playing too wildly and bumped into someone. She didn’t dare to make unreasonable claims against them, especially after seeing Bai Guo willingly hurt herself to protect the child; she felt very apologetic. "Are you hurt?"

"I’m fine!" Bai Guo’s brow furrowed slightly, obviously not as relaxed as she claimed.

"Little sister, don’t cry. Otherwise, you won’t be cute anymore." Xu Biyun handed the ice cream to the little girl, comforting her.

"This is so embarrassing." The mother felt uneasy and tried to pay Biyun.

There were many visitors around, so Tang Zheng naturally couldn’t pull out medicine to treat Bai Guo’s injuries in public. Thus, he picked her up to find a less crowded spot.

"No need, I can walk." Being held in Tang Zheng’s embrace made Bai Guo suddenly feel awkward; she could sense his strong arms pressing against her body.

"It’s a princess carry, I want one too!" The little girl, eating her cone, joyfully watched Bai Guo, wishing to play a game of princes and princesses.

Bai Guo’s cheeks flushed thoroughly, as Tang Zheng’s wide and warm left hand resting on her back and bend of her leg made her feel somewhat peculiar.

Tang Zheng, however, had no other thoughts. He found a secluded bench, placed Bai Guo on it, and quickly took out a can, spraying a white mist on her twisted ankle.

The coolness was very soothing, and Bai Guo unconsciously moved her legs.

"Ahem, Biyun, your turn." Tang Zheng handed the can to the arcade girl and stood up; from where he had been, he could see Bai Guo’s underwear.

Xu Biyun tugged Bai Guo’s skirt, Natural Stupid as usual, still not realizing what had happened.

"Biyun, how many more points do you need to accumulate to ten thousand?" Tang Zheng still remembered the serious business.

"Nearly four thousand are left. Brother Tang, I’ve thought it over. Staying here is nothing but a burden, it might be better for me to leave the Trojan Room." Xu Biyun’s face turned gloomy. She really wanted to help Tang Zheng and didn’t think she was inferior to Bai Guo, but she couldn’t match her explosive growth in points.

"I understand what you mean, but you should also consider your family, your future life. You’re young, there’s still plenty of good times ahead for you to enjoy!"

"You speak as if you’re very old, can you not act so elderly? If we really come down to it, you’re only the same age as me!" Once Xu Biyun opened up and saw that Tang Zheng indeed had no intention of blaming her, she felt relieved of a burden and completely relaxed.

"And Bai Guo, you better hurry up and get to ten thousand points and then leave." Seeing that Natural Stupid wanted to argue back, Tang Zheng interrupted her, "Don’t brush me off with your Third-order. Even a Level 1 Hero is just fight scum in the Holy Land War."

"I’m from the Stealth System, I can protect myself." Bai Guo didn’t want to leave Qin Yan and also wished to follow Tang Zheng to repay him for saving her life.

"You’re just adding a burden to Qin Yan. Without you, she can unleash greater combat power."

Bai Guo felt aggrieved, feeling misunderstood. Her lips pursed and tears filled her eyes, on the verge of crying.

"Crying won’t help. This time I’ll make you leave by force. Don’t think I don’t know, you’re just the type to endure everything passively, never thinking about the future. You just find your current situation comfortable and don’t want to change it." Tang Zheng hardened his heart, rebuking Bai Guo, "And Lu Fan and Liang Mao, I’m planning to persuade them to leave too."

Bai Guo was shocked, as if a little secret in her heart had been discovered, somewhat flustered. Her character was indeed too soft, the type that even if she suffered domestic abuse, she wouldn’t dare to say a word and would still cook for her boyfriend – in plain terms, lacking decisiveness.

Having recently studied psychology and having spent so much time together, Tang Zheng understood Bai Guo quite well. If he forcefully had his way with Natural Stupid, the girl would, at most, feel heartbroken and blame herself, definitely not daring to spread the word.

Of course, Tang Zheng wasn’t so bored as to stoop to that level; he was just worried about Natural Stupid’s future life.

"What about Dong Zixuan and Tao Ran? And Ruan Feifei?" Xu Biyun sighed, those at Hero Level would definitely not leave.

"Leave them be, I won’t interfere." Tang Zheng actually wanted Black Long Straight to leave, but as for the policewoman and the newscaster, it didn’t matter since their combat power was too weak.

"We’ve known each other for so long and I’ve never received a gift from you. No, this time I must make you spend a fortune!" Xu Biyun took a deep breath, then pulled Bai Guo up to stand, "Let’s go shopping."

"What if I didn’t bring money?" Watching the spirited back of the video game girl, Tang Zheng was relieved.

In the largest shopping mall in the urban area, the two girls started their shopping spree. After all, Conquerors aren’t short of money, but it was tough for Tang Zheng, carrying big and small bags, almost burying his whole person.

"Do I look good in this?" Xu Biyun emerged from the fitting room wearing a blue swimsuit, twirled around, and showed it to Tang Zheng.

"You look good, can you please hurry up?" Tang Zheng’s scalp was tingling; there were quite a few women in the swimsuit area, and even the air seemed to be permeated with a scent of perfume.

"Hehe, Bai Guo, come out quickly and let Brother Tang see." Xu Biyun laughed as she watched Tang Zheng’s awkwardness, then suddenly pulled open the fitting room door, dragging out Bai Guo, who was wearing a bikini.

"Don’t!" Bai Guo glanced at Tang Zheng and then bowed her head, her left arm across her chest and her right arm covering her belly, bashful to death, "What kind of clothes did you pick out for me?"

Natural Stupid had most of her skin exposed, very sensual, a voluptuous girl.

"How pretty, I suddenly realized you’ve got a good figure!" Xu Biyun glanced at her own flat body and suddenly stretched out her hand to open Bai Guo’s arm, grabbing her chest, "Tell the truth, how did you grow such big breasts?"

Bai Guo’s fair, large breasts changed shape under the video game girl’s kneading, and Tang Zheng hurriedly averted his eyes, no longer looking at the two frolicking girls.

"This one it is, buy it. We’re off to the swimming hall later!" Xu Biyun was about to have the salesperson pack up the clothes when she heard an argument nearby.

It was a woman in her thirties having a verbal altercation with a salesperson after damaging a piece of clothing due to her hefty build.

"Compensate what, it’s the clothes’ quality issue." The woman was shouting, berating the salesperson, who was not backing down and retorting sharply.

"Alright, I’ll buy it. Stop arguing." Everyone had started to watch, An Xiuru really couldn’t stand this kind of scene and wanted her companions to calm things down.

She had three other female friends, two of whom were supporting the overweight woman.

"No way, I want them to apologize. Go, call your manager." The woman was relentless, being able to know An Xiuru, she wasn’t short of money; it wasn’t about compensation, but pride. If not for the salesperson’s remark about her being too fat that led to the clothing damage, there wouldn’t have been so much fuss.

This overweight woman despised being called fat the most; if An Xiuru wasn’t stopping her, she would have slapped that salesperson already.

"Stop arguing!" An Xiuru gave a glance around, angry at the pointing and whispering onlookers, took out her wallet intending to pay by card, wanting to leave quickly; instead, she saw Tang Zheng and her body jerked as if shocked by electricity.

"Wait for me a second, I’ll go see a friend!" Tang Zheng inwardly smiled bitterly. Since he had seen Sister An, he couldn’t pretend not to know her; that would be too heartless.

"Sister An, how are you feeling?" Tang Zheng approached An Xiuru and initiated a conversation, almost dying of embarrassment.

"Very well." An Xiuru didn’t know what to say. She initially planned not to contact Tang Zheng anymore, but seeing him again made her realize she had never forgotten him.

"Hey, Xiu Ru, who’s this handsome guy?" The overweight woman saw Tang Zheng and her eyes lit up; the other three women also stealthily sized him up. (To be continued.
