Chapter 399: Knowing the Truth and the Undead Army Attack
Just as he left the meeting room, a player came over to report that an NPC outside wanted to see Pumpkin.
Li Xiang immediately went out and met Anthony.
She had returned on Pirate Number One, arriving two days later than Li Xiang.
"Pumpkin, I can't believe you're actually a City Lord!"
Anthony curiously surveyed the City Lord's Mansion.
"Call me Qu Ming here, or you can call me City Lord."
Anthony indicated understanding.
Pumpkin was Li Xiang's identity in the Dafen Empire when he transformed into a woman.
"Let's go, I'll find you a room."
Anthony followed Li Xiang into the City Lord's Mansion.
After walking for a while, they encountered Lu Qingshui and Chen Sisi walking out.
The two of them stared at Anthony, who was following behind Li Xiang, and were stunned.
Another one came?!
And... she's a little loli...
Is his taste this wide?!
Under the questioning gazes of the two women, Li Xiang quickly explained, "This is Anthony, a Fire Elf. Qingshui, I've told you about her."
"Anthony, this is Qingshui, also the Deputy City Lord of this Zhushen City. This is Demon Clan Priest - Chen Sisi."
Anthony obediently walked over to the two women, "Sister Qingshui, Sister Chen Sisi."
Lu Qingshui smiled and stroked Anthony's head, "I heard Qu Ming talk about you. You just arrived and don't have a place to stay yet, right? I'll arrange accommodation for you."
Chen Sisi spoke up, "Let her stay with me."
"That works too."
Anthony left with Chen Sisi.
Lu Qingshui looked at Li Xiang and said angrily, "You have quite the luck with women, you don't even spare little lolis!"
Li Xiang gave a wry smile, "Don't misunderstand, I see Anthony as a daughter."
"Oh? Then what about Chen Sisi? Do you see her as a daughter too?"
Li Xiang was speechless.
"Chen Sisi told me everything. She has agreed to help us resist the Undead Army, and afterwards you will accompany her to the Imperial Capital to find the Emperor, right?"
Li Xiang nodded.
Lu Qingshui walked up to Li Xiang and whispered, "Emotional Lock... lock one with me too, I want one too."
Li Xiang hugged her, "Between us, we don't need that kind of thing..."
Leaning against Li Xiang's chest, Lu Qingshui whispered, "You seem to have a lot on your mind lately, can you tell me about it?"
Li Xiang was silent.
Pusiruide in Li Xiang's body spoke, "Li Xiang, if you can't make a decision, let her make the decision herself.
This concerns her, and you will have to let her know sooner or later."
Li Xiang sighed, "Alright... when Chen Sisi comes over later, I'll tell you both. Maybe she can help."
Lu Qingshui nodded.
After a while, Chen Sisi walked over. Seeing the two of them hugging, her eyes flickered slightly, "Kids fall asleep quickly."
"Let's go, I have something to tell you."
They returned to the meeting room.
Li Xiang carefully chose his words and explained Lu Qingshui's situation.
After listening, Lu Qingshui was already sobbing uncontrollably, crying loudly in Li Xiang's arms.
She didn't know that Li Xiang had done so much for her in secret and endured so much pressure.
Pusiruide flew out of Li Xiang's body and corroborated from the side.
After comforting Lu Qingshui, Li Xiang spoke with difficulty, "In this situation, I don't know what to do either...
Pusiruide is right, you should be the one to make the decision."
Chen Sisi, who had been silent, spoke, "If Qingshui becomes a native of this World, she will become your enemy... You both can't accept that situation, right?"
Lu Qingshui, who had just stopped crying, burst into tears again.
This was the first time Li Xiang had seen her so sad.
Pusiruide looked at the three people present and said, "I do have a way for all three of you to live happily together."
Hearing his words, all three were stunned for a moment.
Pusiruide continued, "Lu Qingshui becomes a native of this World, Chen Sisi is already a native of this World, and Li Xiang, you use the power of the Emotional Lock to choose to become a native during the Descent War. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
Become... a native?!
Li Xiang hadn't not thought of this plan.
But... once he became a native of this World, he would have to sever ties with everything he had and become an enemy of it.
Li Xiang could sever ties, but becoming an enemy... Li Xiang couldn't do it.
Pusiruide saw the silence in the room, "Think about it slowly, this is already the best way.
If you delay any longer, when the Descent War begins, Lu Qingshui will be the first to die.
Li Xiang, if you don't want to convert into a native.
Chen Sisi must make a choice, join the Human Clan or both of you die."
After speaking, he re-entered Li Xiang's body.
The scene fell into silence.
However, after less than half a minute of quiet, Wu Shuang City's alarm blared.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Li Xiang immediately ran out.
Lu Qingshui and Chen Sisi exchanged glances, "Let's go, let's repel the Undead Army first."
...
Outside Wu Shuang City, the Undead Army had gathered again at some point, with a number of hundreds of thousands, and they were still continuously gathering.
A large number of players began to come online.
In this game, after players go offline, their bodies remain where they are. This means that if they don't come online and Wu Shuang City is breached, their bodies will be killed in an defenseless state...
On the city wall, City Lord He Denlong of Wu Shuang City was already standing there.
The City Lords of the other major cities were also on their way.
Li Xiang arrived on the city wall.
Chen Sisi and Lu Qingshui also followed.
Seeing Chen Sisi, He Denlong nodded slightly, "Without those teleportation arrays, the speed at which the Undead Army gathers has slowed down significantly.
Take this opportunity to defeat their vanguard!"
On the city wall, large teams of Mages gathered and bombarded the Undead Army outside the city.
For a time, the vanguard of the Undead Army died in large numbers.
The advance speed of the Undead Army was stopped, remaining stagnant.
Just as the people of Wu Shuang City hadn't even rejoiced, dozens of burly Undead BOSSes holding shields appeared, blocking many of the Mages' bombardments, and the Undead Army continued to advance.
He Denlong frowned, "Which City Lord will lead troops to take down these shield-holding Undead?"
Several City Lords exchanged glances, but none spoke.
Fighting these Undead BOSSes wasn't difficult, but the difficulty was that once they went over, they would have to confront hundreds of thousands of Undead Army. Once surrounded, even Gods would be unable to escape.
Seeing this, Li Xiang spoke up, "I'll go!"
He Denlong patted Li Xiang's shoulder, "City Lord of Zhushen City, I'll trouble you! If we win this battle, I will report your achievements to the Imperial family!"
"Thank you, City Lord!"
"I'll go with you," Chen Sisi said.
"If you encounter danger, I can pull you back."
After speaking, she opened a spatial vortex, "Let's go."
Li Xiang had no reason to refuse and stepped into the spatial vortex.
...
They reappeared in front of the Undead Army.
Li Xiang swung his sword and charged towards the Undead BOSSes.
Chen Sisi floated in the air, providing protection for Li Xiang, preventing distant magical attacks from landing on him.
