Samsara Online

Yue Kai gave him a disdainful look and snorted, "Hmph, you idiot. That’s not what I meant! I meant the people in front of us!"

Xie Feng couldn’t help but secretly shook his head at the antics of these two guys. Looking towards the front just as Yue Kai had said, Xie Feng smiled mysteriously when he saw several groups of people there. These groups of people attracted a level of attention no less than what his group was attracting and the surrounding people were looking at them with admiration and apprehension at the same time.

Of course, when Xie Feng’s group noticed the other groups, the other groups noticed them as well. In just a second, Xie Feng and the rest felt gazes of all kinds falling on them; gazes far more intense than the one they were receiving from the other players in the shrine.

"Yo!" Yang Tian stepped forward to greet Xie Feng’s group. After finishing the greetings, he couldn’t help but joke, "I see you arrived home safely."

Xie Feng shook his head and chuckled. However, just as he was about to say something, he remembered one important thing and said, "By the way, I apologize for what happened on the birthday night."

Yang Tian blinked several times, confused. Soon however, he understood what Xie Feng was referring to and shook his head with a casual smile, "Ah.... You mean that? Forget it, that old man from my family already explained how things are.... I know it was him who asked you to do it. Anyway it was good, now I can concentrate my energy on improving myself instead of acting arrogant to other people."

Xie Feng smiled slightly and gave Yang Tian a small tap on the shoulder... Except that this time, unlike that night, he had no bad intentions.

On the night of Yao Mei’s birthday a week ago, he had received a request from the Yang Family patriarch; to give Yang Tian a little warning to calm down a bit, which Xie Feng readily agreed to. After all, it could be said that he and the Yang Family have a kind of alliance; right.... The family that Xie Feng had contacted other than the Gu Family in the past was the Yang Family. It was also some members of the Yang Family who helped Xie Feng cover up any existing evidence and obtain information about Nangong Chen back then.

While Xie Feng was chatting with Yang Tian, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue were chatting with Yang Li’er. The three girls had gotten close during the birthday banquet after they danced with Xie Feng; after the incident that shook the world, Yang Li’er had been looking for both girls almost every day and inviting them out shopping; dragging poor Xie Feng along in the process. Xie Feng could still remember the hateful looks he had received everywhere they went when men saw him accompanied by three beauties of the highest level.

"Of course you would participate too." Said a mature male voice.

As Yang Tian’s group began to chat with Xie Feng’s group to get to know each other better, some of the other groups also slowly approached. In all, there were approximately a total of seven or eight groups that were being everyone’s attention, but not all of them approached Xie Feng’s group in a friendly atmosphere.

Xie Feng looked at the man who had just talked and smiled faintly while greeting, "It’s been a while, One Man Army."

One Man Army nodded and joked, "I haven’t seen you since the defensive battle. Things were pretty quiet during your absence hahaha."

"Hehehe... It seems everyone now considers you the source of disaster." Mu Wuying joked and winked at Xie Feng as she said, "As expected from the person who uses the name of a God of Destruction as his nickname!"

Xie Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head helplessly. He silently inspected the people who had approached; One Man Army, Mu Wuying, and Yang Tian.

Looking further, he could see other groups together and one group separated from the rest. The group consisting of a total of twelve assassins led by Blood Snow was slightly away from the others, while the group of Yao Zenyu, Nangong Lei, and Unsurpassed Defense seemed to have reached some sort of tactical agreement since Xie Feng clearly noticed how the distance between the three of them was much closer than normal.

However, this was of no significance to Xie Feng.

Time went by and more and more players were arriving at the site, becoming louder and louder. Some players with little patience were starting to get irritated after waiting for thirty minutes with no sign of anything out of the ordinary happening.

"Ding Dong!"

Just then, a small but powerful female voice was transmitted to everyone’s ears: "Oh! I’m so sorry, I overslept!"

The place buzzing with voices and conversations of all kinds immediately became silent. As they all looked towards the source of the sound, Xie Feng frowned slightly in contemplation.... He thought he had heard that voice somewhere but could not remember where it was. However, when Xie Feng looked to the front, his eyes widened slightly and he couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, "How come it’s her?"

A small female pixie of approximately the size of a palm floated in mid-air, a small pair of transparent and almost invisible to the naked eye wings slowly flapping behind her. Although the petite girl was only about fifteen centimeters tall, her beauty could not be ignored by anyone; a beautiful face and a well-proportioned body capable of captivating anyone, added to the mysterious but at the same time friendly aura that surrounded her, would automatically make her the center of attention wherever she went.

Surprisingly, this beautiful little pixie was Jade, whom Xie Feng had met the first time he logged on to the Samsara Online servers! She had been the fairy guide at that time who explained to Xie Feng the essentials about the Samsara world and the Adastreia Continent; it was also because of Jade’s strange reminder that Xie Feng decided to invest most of his status points into intelligence back then and even now his intelligence stat was extremely high. Back then, he had thought that they would never meet again, but he did not expect to see her in this place ever!

The players were silent and even those who were upset about the wait said nothing when they saw the adorable appearance of the little creature in front of them. Her sleepy eyes were the strong proof that she really had fallen asleep and had just woken up.

"Oya oya~?" Jade blinked her two big eyes as she leaned her body forward, unconsciously revealing a bit of her soft white skin; she looked at Xie Feng for several seconds, which caused the players to wonder what was going on. Soon she returned to her normal posture and while pointing forward with her small index finger, she exclaimed, "Isn’t this the Shiva player from back then!?"

The players were stunned for a second before they began to mutter amongst themselves. All of them, turned their gazes towards the front of the shrine where the most powerful and eye-catching groups formed by guilds or powerful people were gathered.

"Big brother Xie Feng, do you know this little elf?" Xie Yao whispered in a low voice.

Xie Feng could feel the gazes of countless people. There were so many gazes he was receiving that his back seemed to be constantly being stabbed; even Yang Tian, Mu Wuying, and the rest were looking at him with questioning and doubtful eyes.

"It’s been a while, Jade." Xie Feng ignored the strange eyes that he was receiving and smiled warmly at the little girl floating a few meters away. Unconsciously he gently caressed the ring on his right hand and said mysteriously, "Thank you very much for your advice back then."

"Oh! It’s nothing, it’s nothing! That was my job as your fairy guide after all!" Jade smiled brightly and shook her little head several times. Her remarks suddenly illuminated everyone who didn’t understand what the relationship between her and Xie Feng was.

So she was his fairy guide in the past!

Doubts disappeared and surprise was the only emotion that remained in everyone’s heart. Out of countless fairy guides, the chances of a player meeting with their fairy guide again were extremely low if not impossible. However, Shiva, who was already the center of attention, had actually met his fairy guide again!

Some players even began to worry about Jade giving some kind of special treatment to Shiva since they already knew each other. If this were a normal game, then none would be concerned since NPCs were supposed to act fairly towards everyone; however, since all NPCs in Samsara Online were artificial intelligence with emotions no different from humans, it was normal for some of them to have preferences for other players more than usual.

Ignoring the players’ thoughts, Jade smiled even more beautifully as her eyes moved to Xie Feng’s right hand and clapped her hands, "Hahaha, that’s good! You’re faster than I thought, I see in just one month you’ve already unlocked one of the seals!"
