Near the end of the video, Little Rain Demoness herself appeared and said a few words, roughly asking everyone for their support. The text beneath the video was written by Zhen Shui Wu Xiang, sincerely describing his feelings for Little Rain Demoness and asking everyone to vote for them. He said the rewards did not matter, but he really hoped to get the Seven-Colored Couple Set, the only one on the entire server, because his wife liked it.

"Your wife likes it, so I'm supposed to vote for you? Pah!" Bei Weiwei sat in front of her computer, cursing angrily. A fire burned in her heart, impossible to put out!

After casually clicking the downvote, she closed the video!

This was too much!

"Is it fun to insinuate things about people and make them look ugly like this? I never thought you were this kind of person!"

After sending the message, she was still furious. But good girl Weiwei could not think of anything vicious enough to curse him with, so she could only shut down the game and go to sleep, feeling even more depressed.

That night, Xiao Xie logged into A Chinese Ghost Story and found that Weiwei was not online. Feeling somewhat puzzled, he hurriedly called her.

After receiving Xiao Xie's call, the wronged Weiwei finally had someone to confide in. She quickly told Xiao Xie everything that had happened.

"Don't worry! He dared bully my wife? Just watch how I make him pay for it!" After comforting Weiwei, Xiao Xie immediately released a server-wide announcement.

"Alchemist challenges Zhen Shui Wu Xiang to five duels. If you can win even one match, you win. I will not pursue the matter of the video any further. To avoid any suspicion of bullying a weaker player, I will remove two pieces of Divine Weapon Equipment during the duels. I'll be waiting at the PK arena. If you're a man, be straightforward about it."

The moment the message was sent, it began broadcasting across the entire server, automatically repeating every five minutes until Zhen Shui Wu Xiang accepted.

At that moment, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang was doing guild quests with Little Rain Demoness, chatting away with an easygoing air.

He had always been rich, and gaming was merely a way to pass the time. Picking up girls and showing off were his greatest pleasures.

Little Rain Demoness had already met him in real life. She really was beautiful, especially when they had been in bed that day—she had been damn wild. A woman like that felt good to fuck.

On top of that, she was a publicly acknowledged beauty in the game. Conquering a woman like her made him feel especially proud. But when he saw that message, his expression immediately froze.

"Zhen Shui, isn't this guy going way too far?"

"Exactly! He doesn't even know his own place, yet he dares brag about taking off two pieces of Divine Weapon Equipment before PKing you!"

"Zhen Shui, you're a top-twenty expert on the PK Ranking List, and the number one archer besides. Who the hell is he? Go crush him!"

"Exactly! Let him see what you're capable of!"

What Zhen Shui Wu Xiang valued most was his pride.

Yet the other party looked down on him so much, and he was also Reed Weiwei's current partner. A nameless rage rose in his heart.

Although he did not care about Reed Weiwei, she had once been his woman. They had barely divorced before she threw herself into another man's arms!

Today, he would teach that man a lesson.

In A Chinese Ghost Story, there were two forms of player PK. One was a simple spar, where the match ended when one side died. Even if you lost, there would be absolutely no penalty!

The other was a duel!

Unless there was truly deep hatred between the two sides, no one would ever choose something as extreme as a duel!

Because losing a duel meant dropping one level. At lower levels, that was not too bad—you could quickly earn it back. But for high-level players like Weiwei and Zhen Shui Wu Xiang, losing one level meant more than half a month of effort went to waste.

Of course, Xiao Xie was also max level, so the punishment was fair in that respect!

As a veteran player of A Chinese Ghost Story, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang was quite skilled. His title as the number one archer was not earned for nothing, and he ranked among the top twenty on the PK Ranking List. He was also the only archer in the top twenty!

Although Xiao Xie's Alchemist was ranked first on the PK Ranking List, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang did not believe he could not beat him after he removed two pieces of Divine Weapon Equipment. As a top-twenty expert on the PK Ranking List, he had that much confidence.

Standing by the arena, Xiao Xie spotted Zhen Shui Wu Xiang immediately.

It had to be said that Zhen Shui Wu Xiang's in-game character looked extremely cool. Golden armor and long white hair gave the entire character a striking beauty.

But Xiao Xie did not feel the slightest bit of goodwill toward Zhen Shui Wu Xiang now. Who told him to bully Weiwei?

"Player Alchemist has invited player Zhen Shui Wu Xiang to a duel. Enter the PK arena?" The moment he arrived, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang saw the notification.

"Did you really remove two pieces of Divine Weapon Equipment?"

"Against you, I could remove three pieces and still beat you easily!" Xiao Xie said disdainfully. He was not exaggerating. Even without three pieces of Divine Weapon Equipment, Xiao Xie could still utterly crush Zhen Shui Wu Xiang with his skill. But to Zhen Shui Wu Xiang's ears, it sounded completely different.

Zhen Shui Wu Xiang was practically exploding with rage. Since you're so arrogant, I'll teach you a proper lesson.

With a flash of light, the two vanished from where they stood.

This game did everything it could to squeeze money from players. The duel arena was completely sealed off. Want to watch? Sure... buy a ticket!

But quite a few people bought tickets this time. Flashes of light appeared one after another as many members of the Little Rain Family arrived, and even Battle the World, the leader of Azure Sea Tide Pavilion, came!

It was truly a lively scene!

"It's been ages since I watched anyone duel. I heard this one is because of that video on the official website. This should be entertaining!"

"Isn't the number one Alchemist on the PK Ranking List just bullying people?"

"What do you know? Alchemist removed two pieces of Divine Weapon Equipment. How is that bullying? Besides, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang is also a top-twenty expert on the PK Ranking List. It's still unclear who'll come out on top!"

A crowd of onlookers chattered excitedly.

Reed Weiwei had also rushed over, cheering Xiao Xie on.

The Little Rain Family had come as well, cheering for Zhen Shui Wu Xiang.

What drew even more attention was that One Smile, formerly number one on the PK Ranking List and now number two, had also come to watch. He was very interested in Alchemist's duel, after all—he had lost to Alchemist several times.

The duel began quickly. As soon as it started, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang immediately unleashed Yi Shooting Nine Suns without hesitation.

Three golden arrows of light appeared before him! Then, with lightning speed, they shot toward Alchemist.

This move was an AoE attack, but Alchemist dodged it. As far as Xiao Xie was concerned, as long as it was not a targeted attack skill, he could control Alchemist's game character to evade it.

After dodging Zhen Shui Wu Xiang's skill, Alchemist instantly used Ambitious Heart Decision, Ancient Road Warm Heart, Life Without End... These support skills, these buffs, raised Alchemist's attack to an unbelievable level. Enduring Zhen Shui Wu Xiang's attacks, he killed Zhen Shui Wu Xiang with two slashes and two basic attacks.

"My God! Since when were Swordsmen this badass?!"

"As expected of the number one player on the PK rankings! He can make even a Swordsman class this powerful!"

When the other players saw Alchemist kill Zhen Shui Wu Xiang with just two slashes, they were all stunned. Swordsmen were famously a weak class. Of course, everyone knew that the Swordsman class could actually be very strong, but no one had ever seen such a powerful Swordsman. Playing a Swordsman well required an especially massive amount of money. If that money were spent on any other class, one would have become an expert long ago. That was why it was rare to see an exceptionally powerful Swordsman.

Someone like Alchemist was even more unimaginable. If Alchemist had played any other class, he would probably have become the number one player on the entire server long ago.

What followed became even simpler. Having lost a level of cultivation, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang was even less of a match for Alchemist. By the fifth round, Alchemist killed Zhen Shui Wu Xiang with a single slash.

Zhen Shui Wu Xiang stared grimly at himself, now five cultivation levels lower. Losing five levels at once would take four months to make up! Zhen Shui Wu Xiang was practically about to cry.

"I'll delete the video!" Zhen Shui Wu Xiang sent Xiao Xie a message, then immediately logged off. The people around him were all saying that Zhen Shui Wu Xiang's skill level was truly trash. How could he possibly have the nerve to stay? Stay and let everyone laugh at him?

After Zhen Shui Wu Xiang logged off, Little Rain Demoness and the others also slunk away in embarrassment.

After leaving the duel arena, Xiao Xie ignored everyone else and took the delighted Weiwei to continue running dungeons.
