Time Chapter 4.3

Chapter 4.3 – It is said that I am very beautiful

(3)

Afterwards, while Ms. Yao and her team were fighting the boss, she discovered a group of people subtly standing nearby. They maintained an appropriate distance, not making others feel awkward. But this group of onlookers, or more precisely this protection squad, made Yao Yuan tear up. Why does she feel like she isn’t fighting an outdoor boss but a domestic boss [1]? In addition, rearing this boss was a certain clan leader. Thinking of this clan leader, a drop of sweat trickles down Yao Yuan’s forehead, cold sweat. It feels as if she’s being closely watched by somebody, like a piece of fish on the chopping block [2].

[1] Outdoor boss can also be translated to “wild boss”. Yao Yuan is using a play on words with “domestic boss” since domestic is the opposite of wild and also refers to familial matters. [2] 俎 (zŭ): an ancient sacrificial utensil or vessel, a kind of chopping block used in ancient times ref

Ah Mi and the rest also gradually discovered this unprecedented situation. They were encircled by a group of strangers, but the group didn’t try to steal the boss. Instead, they were helping them prevent others from stealing the boss. Their attacks were ruthless, without a trace of hesitation. After they killed everyone, they stood there to “guard” them.

Ah Mi: “Did I time travel? Which powerful person’s body did I travel to?”

Duo La A Meng: “Brother Ah Mi keep calm!”

Ah Mi: “My b.a.l.l.s ache [3]! Are these people thinking of s.n.a.t.c.hing the reward [4]?

[3] 蛋疼 (dàn téng): Internet slang for doing extremely boring or ridiculous tasks [4] 螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后 (táng láng bŭ chán huáng què zài hòu): Chinese idiom for the mantis preying on the cicada but there is a oriole behind

Ya Xi Ya: “Could it be waiting for us to destroy the boss, then they come destroy us, for a fisherman’s gain [5]?

[5] 渔翁得利 (yú wēng dé lì): idiom for in a struggle between two parties (the bird and the clam) the third party (fisherman) wins

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “……not to that extent. The world still has a lot of good people.”

In the team chat, 3 lines of ellipsis were posted.

Hua Kai: “Xiao Jun, at this time you can still joke around to lighten the mood, truly calm and collected.”

What can the instigator of the entanglement say? Say that it’s because of a certain clan leader’s evil intentions? The impact of this would be even more serious wouldn’t it?

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “Just defeat the boss before talking again!”

Ruo Wei Jun Gu, Ya Xi Ya, and Ah Mi were all veterans, this medium difficulty outdoor boss wasn’t very hard to kill. As the three of them joined forces and another two played support roles, the boss had less than a fifth of its health left.

Ah Mi was also a little excited and delivered a pa.s.sionate speech to the group: “Sisters, victory is in sight, our Hundred Flower Hall’s first outdoor boss is in the bag. We must persevere together. Charge!”

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “Wait!”

As Ah Mi charged forward, the boss ran away. After Ah Mi disappeared, Yao Yuan immediately said to the group: “Everyone retreat, I’ll distract it, you guys use long-range attacks!”

Just as Yao Yuan finished speaking, she saw that someone was a step ahead of her and pulled aggro from the boss, jumping up and down, putting in all his energy.

Zou Na s.h.i.+ Na: “Sister-in-law I’ll come T (pull the threat), you guys attack!”

Yao Yuan: “……”

Earlier, the ring of observers were farther away and Ya Xi Ya and the others were busy fighting the outdoor boss, so they didn’t have time to look at the IDs. The ID, clan name, and messaging bubble of the person who jumped out at this moment appeared clearly above his head. It instantly confused all the people around him, including Yao Yuan. Of course, the level of confusion was different.

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “Zou Na you stole my thunder, we already agreed that I’ll rush forward if something goes wrong!”

Zou Na s.h.i.+ Na: “Huh? But I didn’t agree? Sister-in-law give me some face, come and attack to your heart’s content, Boss can look from there.”

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “Sister-in-law, hurry and kill this boss, I need to kill this brat!”

Duo La A Meng: “What is this? What is this? It’s the World Clan members!?”

Ya Xi Ya: “Hehe, Sister Jun, the clan’s mistress, has a lot of power!”

Yao Yuan took a deep breath.

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “Such a destined meeting, and since these two dear friends have such a strong sense of justice, then this person and her friends won’t mind.” Then she said to her teammates: “Let’s continue to fight the boss.”

“……”

The World Clan’s remaining senior members stood farther away watching and listening to the live broadcast of the other team’s channel. Listening up to this point they could not help but laugh.

Wen Ru Yu: “Ha Ha Ha I admire sister-in-law more and more!”

Luo Shui: “Brother Wen, so you only admired sister-in-law a little bit before?

Wen Ru Yu: “ Leave, don’t make me the bad guy. Haven’t seen the great Clan Leader YY [6], it is a rare sight, even in a thousand years.”

[6]  意淫 (yì yín): Fantasizing, thinking strangely, pervertedly ref

Jun Lin Tian Xia: “Ha.” This deep laughter sounded calm. It made Wen Ru Yu’sheart tremble. He immediately said: “Has Clan Leader’s mood been not bad recently?”

“You speak so much nonsense.” Jun Lin Tian Xia’s voice sounded as if he was a little dumb, speaking with a slow rhythm. That’s why it gave off a kind of casual feeling.

Zou Na s.h.i.+ Na: “Reporting to Boss, sister-in-law has finished fighting the boss. She said that they’ll take half of the items it dropped, we take the other half. What do you think?”

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “Loyalty ah!”

Luo Shui: “The problem is that Clan Leader won’t accept these items right?”

Everyone had an unspoken understanding and quieted down. Finally, after five seconds, they heard a voice. Jun Lin Tian Xia: “I’m going over.”

Luo Shui: “I’m also going to greet sister-in-law.”

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “I’ll make the sure the other clans have withdrawn first.”

Zou Na s.h.i.+ Na: “Truthfully speaking, why did Clan Leader call over so many people this time? This task isn’t even that difficult to complete.”

Wen Ru Yu: “Black bellied [7] person ah.”

[7] 腹黑 (fù hēi): Black belly or black stomach, used to describe someone who is secretly evil/sly/manipulative ref

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “What do you mean?”

Wen Ru Yu: “If you understand, you can sit in my position.”

Wen Ru Yu: “I’m going to answer the phone!”

Luo Shui: “Clan Leader actually didn’t say anything when Ah Wendisrespected him?”

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “Mhm……”

In the next moment, Wen Yu Ru: “Tears [8], Young Master Jiang’s phone call. Two words, ‘Shut up’!”

[8] 泪奔 (lèi bēn): An internet expression, short for 流着泪奔跑 which means running with tears streaming down one’s face. It can indicate happiness or sadness

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “Hahahaha this is indeed his style, straightforward and sharp!”

On Yao Yuan’s side, because of the problems she encountered while dividing the loot, she just casually split it there. Their clan’s members were used to being fair. Turns out, the other clan would rather die than accept it. Finally,Zou Na s.h.i.+ Na said: “Sister-in-law, why don’t you give these items to our leader yourself?”

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “Ah?”

Hua Kai warned her: “Poof, behind you.”

Yao Yuan turned around slowly. The first thing she saw was a man in beautiful and magnificent clothes. Behind him stood a group of lurkers.

Watching the parade in front of her, a vague thought entered Yao Yuan’s brain: ‘Why do I feel like I’m a domesticated boss that’s being encircled?’

Jun Lin Tian Xia: “Finished fighting?”

‘Isn’t it obvious’, Yao Yuan weakly thought. “En.”

Jun Lin Tian Xia: “You take all the loot.”

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: “This, Jun Lin Clan Leader, I think you should get half of it. After all, you guys helped us a lot.” It should be said that they were the main force. Without this clan’s st.u.r.dy foreign support, they couldn’t have beaten the boss.

Jun Lin Tian Xia: “You’re too polite [9].”

[9] 见外 (jiàn wài): to regard as an outsider, to be overly polite

We are basically strangers right? Yao Yuan was dejected. Why is this person always like this? Angrily, “Regardless of whether you accept the loot, you deserve to receive it!”

Jun Lin Tian Xia: “Why so fierce?”

Yao Yuan: “……”

The two people faced each other and talked on their private chat. Although outsiders didn’t know what they were talking about, the image looked very harmonious. People had already taken screenshots. This includes Ya Xi Ya, Duo La A Meng, Luo Shui, and Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong.

Luo Shui: “When did our Clan Leader have feelings for eldest sister-in-law?”

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “It seems that it was while we were eliminating the players who spread that Clan Leader was a ‘transvest.i.te’, is ‘unfaithful’, and ‘kills the innocent’. Precisely speaking, it started after Ru Yu went on the world chat and told people not to bully our clan’s mistress right?”

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “Mhm……”

Luo Shui: “Xiao Cang, if you have something to say, just say it. Stop making noises that make it sound like you’re constipated!”

Ao s.h.i.+ Cang Qiong: “I wanted to say, he developed feelings for sister-in-law a long time ago.”

“Ah???”
