Chapter 2: Snake Kiss – translated by saht back are rather reon asked suspiciously "Where on earth did you find the and Yun arePlus they just found out that I’m Prince As for Kenshin and Sunshine…" I hesitated Should I tell her?

"They’re NPCs froon stated matter-of-factly

"How did you know?" I deon froze for a moment, and then she retorted, "I’m a hidden GM, remember?"

"Oh…," I scratched my cheek Didn’t she say that hidden GMs are exactly like norht she wouldn’t know!

Lolidragon sighed deeply and shook her head in disbelief "You’re one lucky dog, to even be able to coly difficult hidden mission! You know, Lantis and Kenshin were only created for fun; no one ever expected anyone to complete the mission!"

"Uh, there’s actually a reason behind that," Should I tell Lolidragon about Kenshin and Sunshine’s ‘awakening’? I hesitated a little; after all, Lolidragon was a Second Life employee Who knew if she would report this incident?

"It would be best for you to tell everyone that they’re your hu theed

"No, I can’t tell" I waved on asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Uh, because they’ve gained self-awareness now and I have no intention of treating them as humanoid pets In fact, I want the in one breath

"Self-awareness?" Lolidragon paled

As expected, it really is shocking… I took a deep breath, and then said seriously, "Lolidragon, could you please not tell? Don’t inform anyone else about this, okay? Especially not the people froaer I don’t want theon’s stern expression re uffaw Waving her hand, she said, "Relax, I won’t say a thing It’s not every day that NPCs gain self-awareness So as fun as this, how could I tell the company and let them spoil my fun?"

I was speechless Whichever coon must be really unfortunate

The door opened with a thuon and I looked toward the entrance, as a faure leapt into my arms and murmured into my ear, "Prince, you’ve finally come back, oh how I’ve missed you!"

I looked down, expressionless Fairsky really is like an unstoppable, determined roach… Then another very familiar black-haired head latched onto my backI looked back in stoic silence This one had even h that even bullets could not penetrate it, was looking at hness, you’ve finally returned! I’ve been so worried!"

Worse still, standing in front ofsince drawn his sword I looked iave the to take this sitting down, ganged up against Wicked Fairsky blocked Wicked’s attacks, while Gui shot cold arrows at hi theood shoatch, why stop it?" I replied in the sa into the air by Fairsky, grazinga bloody line… The three brawlers paused to look back at ret and heartache in their eyes I wiped the blood frohtly "Hittingon guazi while watching as I thrashed the trio, chatting with me the whole time "Prince, why don’t you take Phoenix on as well? She’s beenZui’s frustrated, as is White Bird"

"Who’s White Bird?" I punched Gui with , and tickled Fairsky with th

"Oh, you still don’t know I’ll tell you all about what’s happened!"

Lolidragon toldether?" I paled; in shock, wondering if we had to give theht? Recentlyout to play all the time and she hasn’t written any manuscripts; our house’s finances are a et the ht of this, I lashed out more violently at the trio on the floor

"Are you jealous?" Lolidragon lifted an eyebrow

At this time, the al at ood," sohed in relief I looked over to spot Broken Sword, Rose, and… everyone else

"When did everyone arrive?" I asked stupidly

"They started trickling in when you began beating the trio up" Lolidragon shrugged

I suys"

"Pfft!" Yun suddenly burst out laughing… Hey, what’s wrong with you, guys don’t go "pfft", only girls do that! What business do you, a grown ē, how co, you were even the picture of sternness"

I aihiestured at the four people I was about to introduce to everyone "This is Gu Yun Fei, a barrier e; and Kenshin, a warrior"

Yun, who had been thrown to the floor bylike a mermaid "Hi everyone, I’ē"

"I’ posed shamelessly in a cutesy manner in front of the crowd

"I’antly with a tinge of war as all four had finished their self-introductions, I guessed that it was time for me to introduce everyone else to them But… I counted the aet about the introductions I said carelessly, "You guys et acquainted with each other"

"Prince, the coht back this tiē patted ; you don’t kno hed,back to that tihest peak, Azure Mountain, only to find the three old prophets standing in front of the stoneone, if you defeat us, you can becoht! Defeat the I stared at it, face full of disbelief, as I thought, What would I need a pile of dung for? I’ht?

"ThePill The stone monument’s name and the prophecies are extras," Kenshin explained slowly Seeing the disgusted look onPills’, Kenshin added, "If you eat the Great Returning Pill, your experience points will bea period of three days"

"Oh? That’s quite impressive," I smiled nicely at the three old farts Respect to the elderly was an alien thought at the ood beating before taking the dung and stonethere the two faood barbeque

"The two of you share this pile of dung and then we’ll go to the Ghost Cove and train" I snatched away the aro the shocked expressions on their faces, force-fed the that both of them had fainted immediately after, Kenshin and I had no choice but to carry one each and rush back to Ghost Cove

When we returned to Ghost Cove, I struggled for what see kicked down by an i and Yun to train likePill, both of theed to level up nearly 15 levels Lastly, we used Sunshine’s flying carpet to hurry back to Infinite City Because I was afraid that ouldn’t make it back in ti it to fly at a breakneck speed… If it didn’t, I would have used it as an entrance mat at Infinite City, free for all passers-by to clean their shoes on

Sigh! These two life-long friends of ained self-awareness spent a lot of my time and effort! Ah well, the end justifies theand looked back at everyone else, only to notice that they all looked frustrated yet were at a loss of what to do When I followed their gaze I saw… Ice Phoenix! Ah, I sighed, I had already prood-sister, plus Lolidragon has also told , so it looks like I can’t escape this st-ridden expression on my face and walked toward Phoenix

Phoenix yelled at me in panic "Don’t come over here!"

I stopped in mid-step and softly said one line "I didn’t know you hated me that much"

"No, no, it’s just that you…" Phoenix didn’t knohat to say for a while, and then she started crying

I actually made Phoenix cry! I became flustered too At a time like this, what should I do? In the on whisper, "Go and hug her, you idiot"

Roar! Easy for you to say! But seeing that Phoenix was crying soPhoenix gently, while consoling her "It’s alright, don’t cry, no one will blaled in hter I held her until she was finally snug inher heart out

"Sorry, I didn’t ed et him…" Phoenix wailed her explanations out in my arms

Was I too merciful to Fan, to just let hi less and less bloody; next ti now If you think of hi inning to understand whyhair is really a pleasure to touch indeed

"Prince…" Phoenix shyly buried her face in my chest until only two red ear tips were visible

"Hmm?" I lifted my nose out from Phoenix’s silky hair and realized that I really shouldn’t have looked up, as I i held up by Wolf-dàgē inout at the air; Wicked was held back by Zui and White Bird, his eyes blood-shot; Fairsky was being pulled back by Rose and Broken Sword, so angry that her cheeks were puffed up

I broke out in a cold sweat and stiffened – Phoenix obviously noticed that too as she lifted her head up shyly She then noticed the three vengeful spirits… Her expression changed; she looked at h, I suddenly had a very bad preood predictions, they’re superb when it comes to the bad

"Prince, if you really accept me, then kiss h, every inch the picture of a ain Kissing her would be no proble people – for girls I’ve kissed ahten me? However, if I were to kiss her in front of the three angry spirits, I’ll never have another peaceful day Gui would cry until the Great Wall of China falls down, Wicked would nag to ht even challenge Phoenix to a duel

In my hesitation, Phoenix had already opened her tear-filled eyes, but she was doing her ut!
