Second Life: Welcome to Gaia

Chapter 69: The Eight Immortals's good fortune symbols

Before they started to fight, Ye Yan told My Girl he would like to ask a favor from him. Thus, when everyone was leaving, My Girl followed Ye Yan to a restaurant near the Battle Arena.

Ye Yan thought that as he is trying to convince My Girl to help him, he can at least pay for a meal.

Both of them sit at a table in the corner of the restaurant alone. Harpy didn't join than because she was going to visit their kids at school.

"What is it you want to talk about?" My Girl asked coquettishly. He really likes to see Ye Yan contorted face when he flirts with him like that.

"Don't tell me... Do you fell for me?" My Girl said, making an expression of astonishment. "You see... I am not available. I am a married man and love my wife. Even if you are handsome, you can't have me! I belong to my beautiful wife!" 

My Girl spoke so seriously in the end that anyone would think Ye Yan is really trying to seduce him but because he is loyal to his wife, he will never surrender to Ye Yan's charms.

Some people even threw suspicious glances at Ye Yan to see who is trying to ruin a marriage.

Listening to what My Girl said, Ye Yan's face started to get red from rage or embarrassment. It is hard to know.

Ye Yan tried to restrain his temper or he would strangle My Girl before getting to convince him to help with the perverted old man's request. 

He took a deep breath to calm down and started to explain what he need My Girl to do. 

"He just asked me to introduce a woman to him. Nothing more. After doing this, he will tell me some clues about a legendary item. I can't let this opportunity pass." Ye Yan said seriously.

"I would never think you would be like that. You look serious but are a pimp at heart." My Girl said while shaking his head to show how sad he is with this revelation.

When he said it, the glances Ye Yan is receiving from other players start to turn a little hateful.

"If you are going to sell me to a perverted old man, you need to make it worthwhile. I'm not cheap." When the fury building in Ye Yan's heart almost exploded, he heard My Girl say he didn't mind whore himself. 

After listening to My Girl, Ye Yan doesn't know how to react. 

After a few minutes of speaking with My Girl, his brain had suffered so many blows that it isn't working normally anymore. Ye Yan thought that he should take My Girl to the old man as soon as possible or he will turn brain dead soon.

Ye Yan really has to admire Harpy. She is so smart and efficient, even after being with My Girl for so many years. 

After promising to get high-quality and sexy pieces of equipment for My Girl, he accepted being introduced to the perverted old man.

As Ye Yan didn't want to waste time, he contacted the old man through the communication stone and asked the NPC to meet them in the restaurant they are staying.

After the NPC agreed, Ye Yan asked to change to a private room because their conversation can't be heard by others.

He didn't ask for a private room before because it is expensive compared to a normal table. However, he should have got one in the beginning because My Girl is not someone that can be seen in public because he always does something outrageous.

Soon after they got into the private room in the restaurant, a waitress led the old man to the room.

The old man got there so fast that Ye Yan wondered if he was near the restaurant or if he used the teleport spell to get there.

When the old man entered the room, he was finishing combing his long white beard. His mustache had received the same treatment earlier.

When the old man entered the room, his eyes glued on My Girl and his face got even more perverted as he started to salivate and move his ten fingers as if he wanted to grab something. 

The old man smirked uncontrollably while ogling My Girl. He looked so satisfied that he stopped trying to grope the waitress.

The waitress sighed in relief and was more than happy to leave the old man in the room with them. She turned and closed the door before going downstairs.

"Let me do the introductions. This is... Her name is My Girl." Ye Yan said My Girl's name with difficulty. This is the first time he refers to him by name. He had always called just you when speaking to him. 

Because people would feel embarrassed when calling him by his in-game name that he chose this name.

"And this is Dai Liuxian, the craftsman I told you about." Ye Yan finished making the presentations and before he says anything else, the old man almost jumped on My Girl with a perverted smile.

This time My Girl didn't play around as usual. For the first time, he felt bad because of the situation. The NPC makes him feel goosebumps all over his body in the way he looks at him. He felt molested and even cover the essentials using his hands in the case the old man has some x-ray skill.

"Now that we are done with the introductions, please tell me about  Zhong Li Quan's fan clues." Ye Yan didn't waste time and asked the old man.

"What? But we didn't even talk yet." The old man said pouting. 

Ye Yan looked away and continue to talk before the old man starts to throw a tantrum.

"You just asked to be introduced to a girl and I have done it. Now, tell me what you know." Ye Yan stood between My Girl and the old man when speaking to show that he needs to tell him about the clues or he can't even look at My Girl.

"You put me in this situation and now you need to protect my chastity." My Girl whispered from behind Ye Yan.

The old man gave a deep sigh and started to talk.

"When I was young, my friends and I went to an ancient temple that was built in honor of the Eight Immortals. And, in a hidden chamber inside the temple, there was an ancient scroll with clues to the locations of the legendary items that have the power of the Eight Immortals." 

"So... Do you have clues about all eight legendary items?" Ye Yan interrupted the old man's tellings.

"Yes. But we agreed about exchanging the fan's clues for the introductions. If you want something else, you need to give me something else to make it worthwhile for me." The old man said with a perverted smile on his face while trying to see My Girl that is hiding behind Ye Yan.

After hearing the old man, Ye Yan turned his head and looked at My Girl that looked back at him with a 'don't you dare' expression.

"Hum. If you tell us the clues about all eight items, I will let you touch." Ye Yan spoke a little vague, thus My Girl would have a way out of the situation. However, after saying it, he started to feel killing intent behind himself.

"I agree!" The old man said excitedly.

"Now, tell us." Ye Yan rushed the old man.

"The Zhong Li Quan's fan is believed to have the power to revive the dead and materialize gold and silver out of thin air. There is a picture of what I believe is the Valley of the Dragons next to the fan[1]."

"The Li Tieguai's gourd is said to contain the holy nectar of the Gods that could cure any illness. There is a lake inside a mountain drawn next to it."

"The He Xianggu's lotus is believed to have the ability to improve physical and mental health. There is a picture of a lake with an isle in the middle together with the lotus image."

"Han Xiang-Zi's flute can make flowers bloom at will, soothe wild animals with its music, and divert the negative flow of energy. It should be in a kind of forest with a cave."

"Lu Dong-bin's sword has the power to slay demons and cut anything. It should be in a cave full of crystals."

"Zhang Guolao's bamboo cane can make the holder invisible. It should be in some ancient alchemy lab."

"Lan Caihe's basket of flowers is believed to bring longevity. It should be on an altar on an island with all kinds of flowers around it."

"And Cao Guojiu' castanets looks to be in some sort of theater."

"That's all that I know. Now, came here beauty! Let me feel you!" The old man said with a very big smile on his face.
