Chapter 761: That’s Dark Wing’s Woman

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Hua Feihua explained the truth to Li Yi, Li Yi had already determined that Princess Huaiyu would not release the clip.

After all, there were three people involved in the clip.

Hua Feihua, Milk Dipper Solitary, and Yang Xingchen!

Hua Feihua had told Li Yi that she had no idea that the clip had even existed, in other words, it meant that she was not the one who recorded it.

As for Milk Dipper Solitary...

While Hua Feihua and Yang Xingchen were doing it in the bedroom, Milk Dipper Solitary was in the living room. As such, their act was done without the knowledge of Milk Dipper Solitary...

Thus, as it was neither Hua Feihua nor Milk Dipper Solitary who recorded it, the only choice remaining was Yang Xingchen, and no one else.

Hua Feihua had complied with Princess Huaiyu’s wishes as she feared Milk Dipper Solitary flying into a rage after watching the video. After all, Milk Dipper Solitary was in the dark about the incident, and if the incident were to be exposed now, he would definitely be the laughingstock of others, even though his ties with Hua Feihua had already been cut.

Although Hua Feihua had loose morals, there were still some lines that she understood better than others.

However, there was another reason Li Yi had told Hua Feihua to announce the truth.

’Yang Xingchen!’

’How did Princess Huaiyu obtain the clip?’

’This is the key to the entire incident!’

At present, Milk Dipper Solitary and Pink Girl were already engaged, and to put it bluntly, Hua Feihua had overestimated her worth. She was clueless that her position within Milk Dipper Solitary’s heart was below that of dog poop.

Right now, Pink Girl meant the world to Milk Dipper Solitary. So much so that he had rarely logged in nowadays and had dedicated all his time to accompanying Pink Girl as they traveled around the globe.

Would he still be bothered by a video from the past?

Maybe he would, but Li Yi strongly believed that when he saw the clip, his hatred would be directed at the one who released it.

’Yang Xingchen!’

Regardless of him purposefully releasing the video or not, as long as the clip was released, Milk Dipper Solitary would definitely cut all connections with Yang Xingchen.

Whether or not the hardcore clip was released, Li Yi would be unaffected; and if he was to gauge the party that would be the most affected by it, it would not be Milk Dipper Solitary, as the curtains had already drawn on his story with Hua Feihua.

As such, the person that would be the most affected by the video was none other than Yang Xingchen!

’However, how did such a hardcore video end up in Princess Huaiyu’s hands?’

In Li Yi’s memory, Yang Xingchen had little to no connections with Princess Huaiyu. He would even dare to say that they knew nothing of each other. However, the same could not be said of Yang Xingchen and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, as they were best friends in real life.

As they were both from wealthy families, it was only natural for them to be close friends.

Li Yi suspected that the clip was loaned by Tyrant Sword King to Princess Huaiyu in order to incriminate himself.

Thinking back to how Princess Huaiyu and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had spoken about him in the Mermaid Village, Li Yi was almost certain that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had a hand in this matter.

The reason behind Li Yi’s bold claim that Princess Huaiyu would not post the video was because he had determined Tyrant Sword King the Fifth to be the mastermind behind the incident.

No matter the means Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had used to obtain the video, there was one point Li Yi was absolutely certain of, which was, Yang Xingchen had no intentions of becoming the ’Teacher Chen’¹ of King of Pantheon.

If the video were to be released, Yang Xingchen would definitely blame Tyrant Sword King the Fifth for it. After all, if the video were to be released, the other victim, Milk Dipper Solitary would definitely not sit idly by. Should that happen, would the identity of the person who filmed the clip remain a secret?

Li Yi would not be affected by the video being released. However, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth himself would not come out unscathed. After all, he would not just anger Milk Dipper Solitary, but Yang Xingchen as well.

In such a scenario, he would not just fail to bring down Li Yi, he would also bring about his own downfall as well. If that were the case, even a fool would know not to carry it out, and since Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was no fool, he knew what he should do.

The video he handed to Princess Huaiyu had obviously gone through some editing. After all, the images were extremely blurry, and the faces of the figures in the video could not even be seen. Bluntly put, had Hua Feihua not personally admitted that she was the woman in the video, Li Yi would never have recognized her...

With a video like that, how could it even serve as evidence? Crudely put, if that video were to be released, those who were vying to watch it would be severely disappointed, whereas those who were involved would definitely be enraged.

At present, things were going the way Li Yi had predicted. Princess Huaiyu still had not posted the video, and the puppet master had also vanished without a trace. It seemed as if this rotten fiasco was about to end unresolved.

’Attack me and I’ll attack back,’ that was Li Yi’s personality.

Now that Li Yi had been slandered, he was about to lash back.

Li Yi anonymously sent the ’hardcore video’ he received from Hua Feihua to Yang Xingchen.

He wanted to observe Yang Xingchen’s response.

The moment Yang Xingchen received the video, he quickly replied, "Who’re you?"

"Don’t you know who I am?"

"Where did you get the video from? What’re you up to? What’s the meaning of this?"

"Haha..."

"GIVE ME A RESPONSE!"

Li Yi closed the chat panel and ignored Yang Xingchen.

All he had to do now was to silently observe the proceeding events.

After receiving the video, all Yang Xingchen saw was red.

Since it was something that affected his reputation and his personal life, he had never shown it to anyone else on a whim. However, he really liked how hardcore the video was, and he would be greatly delighted whenever he watched the video, especially when he was still getting along with Milk Dipper Solitary.

Back then, he had filmed several videos with Hua Feihua, but he had deleted the majority of them as he had feared a scandal would occur. He knew that he was unable to face Milk Dipper Solitary’s rage, and as such, he had kept away from Hua Feihua after their engagement had ended, all to avoid the rage of Milk Dipper Solitary.

He had deleted all the videos, except that one video as he had felt a great attachment to it. Instead, he transferred it to his phone and occasionally, he brought it out to enjoy.

Not long ago, the son of Wang Enterprise’s Chairman, Wang Sheng had suddenly invited him for dinner.

Yang Xingchen had known Wang Sheng for quite some time, but their friendship had only been average at best. It was nothing compared to his relationship with Milk Dipper Solitary.

If they were to compare their family’s influence, Yang Xingchen could not even come close to Wang Sheng’s. As such, how could he reject an invitation with such sincerity?

Ecstatic, Yang Xingchen arrived at the venue on time, and it was at the dinner table that Yang Xingchen learned that Prince Wang was Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Prince Wang was just like him, a King of Pantheon player.

Since it was a meeting between two players, it was only natural for the content of their talk to be related to in-game matters. Especially since Tyrant Sword King had ’purposefully’ pressured Yang Xingchen to reveal everything he knew.

Things like what Li Yi was like, what he himself was like, what the people around Li Yi were like, and plenty other nonsense. In the end, Yang Xingchen had one cup too many, and he began to boast.

"Do you know Hua Feihua? She’s Dark Wing’s woman, but I’ve done it with her before..."

"Hua Feihua is Dark Wing’s woman? Are you sure about that?"

"Of course, I am. That whore could never leave the side of a man, and as you know, Dark Wing is no gentleman. And from the way they’re always at each other’s side, how could they not be in a relationship?"

In order to prove that he was not lying, Yang Xingchen had dug out his handphone and showed off the video to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. However, all he saw was the image of Hua Feihua covering her mouth, and all it served to do was to prove that Yang Xingchen had bedded Li Yi’s woman before.

Once Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had finished watching the clip, he raised his cup in celebration. "That woman’s pretty good looking. How impressive of you, Brother Yang! Come, come, let us toast to this occasion!"

"Come, come, drink! Brother Wang’s celebrating, and so should I! Oh yeah, Brother Wang, are you interested in this woman? I can help link you up if you are..."

That day, Yang Xingchen had drunk too much, and as such, he could not even remember how he returned. When he came to, he was already lying in his bed.

From that day forth, Yang Xingchen had never seen Tyrant Sword King the Fifth again. Although he had attempted to contact him several times, Tyrant Sword King had only brushed it off, it was as if he had never intended to be friends in the first place.

In the following days after their encounter, Yang Xingchen had forgotten that he had shown Tyrant Sword King the Fifth the video. He did not pause or suspect anything, and it was only after Li Yi’s anonymous tip that he finally remembered the events of that day.

The clip, one of his most prized possessions. ’What happened? Could it be that I drank too much, and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth snatched my phone?"

The more Yang Xingchen thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Cold sweat was already beginning to drip down his neck.

He was more aware than anyone else of the weight the video carried. Should Milk Dipper Solitary get hold of the video, Yang Xingchen was done for.

"Brother Fifth, I don’t think I did anything to incite your hate, right?" Yang Xingchen shakily sent Li Yi a message.

When Li Yi saw it, he instantly broke into a cold sneer. Although he had already predicted Tyrant Sword King was the mastermind behind the event, he still could not help but be enraged when he learned of the truth.

’It was you who stirred up trouble in Qian’er’s household in my past life, causing her to break up with me. And now, you want to repeat the same thing? You want to bring me down again?’

’To think that you would use a video to sabotage me. If Hua Feihua didn’t prove my innocence, and if Qian’er and Jiaojiao had truly grown to hate me because of that...’

"Hehe...Hehe..."

"Brother Fifth, weren’t we having a good time when you invited me for dinner last time? I don’t know how the video ended up in your hands, but I have nothing against you. Plus, my family is far beneath yours in terms of influence, so I really don’t understand the purpose of you sending the video to me."

"Well... my purpose... my purpose is pretty simple. Do you have any more videos in your hand? I’d like to watch them."

Stunned, Yang Xingchen paused for a few seconds before replying, "You want to watch the other videos?"

"Yeah, that was my intention. What did you think I sent you the video for? To threaten you? Do you think that’s something I, Wang Sheng would do?" Li Yi sent a persuasive reply.

"I don’t have any more videos of Hua Feihua. If you’d really like to watch, I have some other ones..."

"Send it over, send it over."

"Okay, but on one condition. Brother Fifth, you can watch these videos however you like, but please, please don’t send them out. Otherwise, I will be doomed for life."

"Hahaha, chillax. Once I’m done with them, I’ll go ahead and delete them. Didn’t you notice that the video I sent you has undergone some edits? I did it to prevent the system from picking it up and causing you trouble."

Li Yi’s words had greatly warmed Yang Xingchen’s heart. At present, Yang Xingchen’s position was akin to having a wolf by the ears, the reason being that all his other videos did not even come close to the one in Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s hand.

"I’ll compress them and deliver them to you later. They’re about a couple of gigabytes in size."

"Alright. Oh yeah, don’t send it to me in-game. It’s not safe. I’ll send you an email and you can attach the files there."

"Oh okay."

The conversation had ended, and aside from understanding the root of the matter, Li Yi had also gotten himself a few gigs of other videos...

’All that’s left to do is to handle Tyrant Sword King the Fifth!’
