Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Why the tears, silly girl?”

Jiang Cheng patted A Silly Cutie’s fragrant shoulder, wanting to wipe away her tears, but he knew his hand was just a piece of bone.

It wouldn’t stop the tears; they’d just slip through.

“Wuu…”

A Silly Cutie cried even harder, her tears flowing down Jiang Cheng’s chest bone, instantly freezing into tiny ice beads.

“I… why… why is Skeleton Big Brother so excellent, I…”

“Let’s go do a dungeon.”

Seeing her cry so fiercely, Jiang Cheng felt a bit heartbroken.

Since meeting A Silly Cutie, Jiang Cheng had never seen her cry before.

She was a girl who appeared fragile on the outside but was strong-willed inside.

No matter how hard the training, how tired she was, how hungry she felt, or how wronged she was, she wouldn’t shed a tear.

Jiang Cheng hadn’t expected Fist Sage to be right.

A Silly Cutie actually liked him, and it seemed her feelings ran deep.

He was just a skeleton now…

Although he didn’t think much of it himself, as he would regain his body someday.

But this was still a cross-species situation.

It wasn’t that he found it hard to accept, just that he hadn’t thought about it.

No matter how others viewed it or joked about it, Jiang Cheng truly treated her like a little sister.

Although Jiang Cheng was a bit straightforward, he wasn’t so dense that he couldn’t understand a confession.

“Mmm… really? Skeleton Big Brother, you promised me?”

Although tears were still falling from her eyes, A Silly Cutie’s heart was already filled with joy.

Jiang Cheng nodded, affectionately stroking her pretty face, and curiously asked, “Tell me, why do you like me?”

He was, honestly, still quite clueless when it came to emotions, so he really couldn’t understand why A Silly Cutie would like him.

“You’re mean… how can you ask that to my face?”

A Silly Cutie pouted, lightly hitting Jiang Cheng.

The hit was light, but it still stung a little. Yet, somehow, it felt worth it.

“Skeleton Big Brother has finally accepted me. I’m so happy.”

Despite her tear-stained face, A Silly Cutie was secretly overjoyed.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been so afraid that if Jiang Cheng didn’t accept her words, which she had mustered all her courage to say, she would never be able to face him again…

Her emotions today had been a roller coaster, swinging from nervousness to suppression, and now to secret joy.

She felt as if she had gone through an ordeal and finally succeeded.

“How would I know if you don’t tell me?” Jiang Cheng stroked her back, wanting to get an answer.

But after waiting for a long time, he found that A Silly Cutie had fallen asleep in his arms.

“This silly girl, falling asleep just like that?” Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly, carefully wiping the tear stains from her face and tucking the wet, messy strands of hair on her forehead behind her ear.

“Sleeping so soundly.”

Jiang Cheng smiled warmly as he saw a hint of a smile flash across A Silly Cutie’s delicate face.

However, the road back to Luoyun City was bitingly cold, covered in ice and snow all the way.

Jiang Cheng was afraid she would get cold enough to trigger the dizziness mechanism, so he could only wrap her in his cloak, hold her in his arms, and slowly wait for her to wake up.

Fortunately, there weren’t many players on the road, and it was exceptionally quiet. Otherwise, seeing this scene, they would surely think he was a skeleton abducting a young girl.

However, A Silly Cutie slept very restlessly, constantly tossing and turning in his arms. Plus, she was dressed rather scantily, and the occasional flash of white skin made Jiang Cheng’s breath catch for a moment.

This was the first time Jiang Cheng had very seriously and carefully looked at A Silly Cutie.

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly that this girl was indeed quite attractive.

Her looks were needless to say, rarely seen in the world.

Compared to Lan Xingyue, Su Lian’ya, and Qian Shanxue, she was not inferior at all. Moreover, compared to them, A Silly Cutie had an added touch of the girl-next-door fragility, making her seem even more pure and lovely.

Her figure… her jade-like legs were fair and long, her figure perfect, one could say flawless.

If this were reality, a casual photo posted online would have people praising her figure, especially her waist and legs.

And her chest… well, it wasn’t… but it wasn’t small either.

“I can’t look anymore.” Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.

Although he was now a skeleton, his soul was still human.

Or rather, he was a man.

The impulse a man feels when looking at a beautiful woman, he still had.

“Tsk tsk, what are you doing here?”

As Jiang Cheng was carefully examining A Silly Cutie, hundreds of players wielding various weapons suddenly appeared around him, surrounding him.

“Can skeletons now come to our player areas to abduct beautiful women? This game is really getting more and more realistic.”

“Haha, isn’t it? Yesterday I even slept with a girl in the game. That feeling was really different from reality.”

The eight Blade Master players at the front joked, looking like they were just watching for fun.

However, Jiang Cheng could sense that although they spoke casually, their footsteps were unsteady, even trembling slightly.

Obviously, they hadn’t just happened to pass by.

Instead, this was planned in advance.

Their joking manner was an attempt to mask their nervousness, allowing them to approach him slowly and carry out whatever scheme they had in mind.

The eight Blade Masters had basically identical equipment.

Although it looked like their equipment was low-level?

Jiang Cheng knew very well that they had used some special methods to conceal some of the decorations on their equipment.

It seemed the visitors had ill intentions.

“Hey, you guys think a skeleton abducting a girl would be useful?”

“I don’t know about that. I think we need him to tell us the answer himself.”

“It’s just a shame, he probably can’t open his mouth.”

After the last four words “can’t open his mouth” were spoken, the eight Blade Master players suddenly exchanged glances.

Then, their figures leaped high into the air at the same time, their long swords slashing down!

Eight sword auras appeared on the ground.

Cross Destruction Slash!

Eight sword auras flew towards Jiang Cheng from eight directions, blocking all his escape routes.

At the same time, the players behind the eight Blade Masters also raised their weapons and released their skills simultaneously.

In an instant, over a hundred spells flew towards Jiang Cheng.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng, holding A Silly Cutie, was like a sitting duck, with no way to escape.

Seeing this, the surrounding players’ faces flashed with joy.

“We thought he was so powerful, turns out he’s just like this.”

“He’s already caught? Doesn’t seem all that great.”

“The vice president was really making a fuss over nothing, making us nervous for so long, and this is all there is to—”

*Clang!*

A sword ring suddenly rang out.

The next moment, the heartbeats of players within a hundred-meter radius suddenly stopped.

Demon Lord’s True Form!

One thousand three hundred and sixty-two black auras spread out under the feet of a black and gold demon.

*Splat splat splat splat splat splat splat splat splat splat…*

[Killed player Destruction Wolf Cloud, triggered plunder effect, plundered skill Cross Destruction Slash.]

[Killed player Meeting Time How Deep, triggered plunder effect, plundered 3 points of Strength.]

[Killed player Meeting Not Feeling Drunk, triggered plunder effect, plundered talent, Accuracy +3.]

In an instant, the players within a hundred-meter radius were killed by the black aura emitted when the Demon Lord’s True Form descended!

Jiang Cheng transformed into a black and gold demon with four wings on his back, three meters tall, slaughtering all one hundred and thirty-six players who had surrounded him.

But Jiang Cheng knew very well that there were far more people who had come here than just these.

“Mmm… what’s wrong?” A Silly Cutie, hearing the commotion, asked groggily.

Jiang Cheng smiled, his large hand stroking her forehead, “It’s nothing, just swatted a few flies. You keep sleeping. I’ll wake you when we reach the dungeon area.”
