Chapter 718: Chapter 655: It’s not easy being a Matchmaker (Two in One) _2
"Probably. This time will likely be much more challenging."
The handsome lady, looking worriedly ahead, felt the pressure as the team leader a bit heavy, "I have a bad feeling something unpleasant will happen in this dungeon. That ant is an unknown variable, but we have no clue so far. Youtong, what do you think?"
"No big deal if we wipe out, it’s just failing the dungeon. We can always start over. What’s there to worry about?"
Youtong showed off her easygoing character, with a relaxed and comfortable expression, clearly undeterred by the situation.
"Hmm, let’s just take it one step at a time..."
Not saying anything more after her anxious words, the handsome lady headed straight towards the Cloud Mountain.
...
"Hey, Overturning Water, what do you think Youtong and she are whispering about up ahead?"
The big smoke ghost asked Su Ran, nudging his head forward as a signal for Su Ran to look ahead.
"No idea." fгeewebnovёl.com
"I bet they’re talking about me. Seeing me so handsome, casual, robust, full of vigor, and manly, I bet both of them have taken a liking to me. Look, look, Youtong is sneaking a peek at me!"
The big smoke ghost spoke excitedly, nearly dropping his iron cane on the ground.
"Damn, you may look honest and simple, but you’re quite flirty inside!"
Su Ran seemed surprised as he glanced at the big smoke ghost, but he lost interest in the topic, recollected his gaze, and stopped speaking.
"Hey, Overturning Water, don’t be quiet. Help me out here, who should I choose between them? Youtong is lively and cute, and the handsome lady is mature and generous. I have a hard time deciding!"
The big smoke ghost stared intently at Su Ran’s mask, hoping to catch a hint from him.
"Why hesitate? Just take them both home. Simple and straightforward, everyone will be happy!"
Su Ran unwittingly replied off the cuff, not realizing the big smoke ghost’s genuine curiosity.
"..."
The big smoke ghost was dumbstruck. He didn’t expect Overturning Water to say that and didn’t know how to respond.
After a while, Youtong subtly turned back to look at the big smoke ghost and saw him shaking his head ruefully. She began to wonder what was going on.
As for Gu Yue, lagging behind the group, she saw the interactions between the big smoke ghost and Youtong with a thoughtful eye, smiled lightly, and remained silent.
Cloud Mountain.
"Overturning Water, you’ve never been to this dungeon before. Let me quickly brief you. The mountain you see up ahead is Cloud Mountain. And right on top of the mountain, is the hideout of Ghost Head Three. Everyone keep this in mind, the difficulty level has increased this time, and the bandits are certainly more powerful. We must handle them carefully, make stable progress, and first clear all the small mobs before facing the boss!"
After the handsome lady shared her concerns, her gaze, while meeting Su Ran’s, was slightly evasive. She looked at everyone else, finally resting on the big smoke ghost, "Smoke Ghost, you support Youtong. Little Yue, you handle the heals, mainly focus on Youtong. I and Overturning Water will be the damage dealers in the back. Oh yes, Overturning Water, have all your skills finished their cooldowns yet? Can you summon the pets?"
The handsome lady took a deep breath and turned to Su Ran, feigning calmness, "You need time to fuse with the monster, right? Should we start summoning it now?"
"No need. The monster can only be summoned for 30 minutes. If we summon it now, it would be too early. Let’s wait until the end."
After a moment of hesitation, Su Ran answered. He noticed a slight change in the handsome lady’s gaze towards him. However, he couldn’t quite place what was different and opted not to concern himself with it.
"Alright everyone, take some time to prepare. Let’s clear out Cloud Ghost Village together!"
"Wait."
Before the handsome lady could even finish her sentence, Su Ran interrupted her.
"I have a suggestion. Since Cloud Ghost Village is on top of the mountain, how about I go do some reconnaissance first and get an idea of the troop distribution inside the fortress? This will give us a better preparation."
"How are you going to scout...Oh yes, you can fly!"
The handsome lady’s eyes lit up, and she remembered that it was Su Ran’s levitation ability that Siying had relied on for their territory invasion efforts!
"Ah ha! With that, the mission will become much easier. Overturning Water, we’re counting on you!"
The big smoke ghost broke into hearty laughter and was about to pat Su Ran’s arm but found his gesture smoothly dodged by Su Ran.
"Alright, I’m pushing on ahead first. Don’t rush up the mountain; we’ll stay in contact through messages,"
Su Ran nodded, suddenly executed the Treading on Air Technique, and practically flew towards the mountain peak, quickly disappearing from sight.
"Wow, that skill is awesome! It would be nice if I could do such a move~!"
Youtong gazed at Su Ran ’walking’ in mid-air, her heart filled with immense envy.
"As I see it, Overturning Water wasn’t even trying his hardest in the deathmatch at the Arena of Life and Death. If it were me, I’d use this flying skill straight away and completely crush that foreigner.
Smoky Ghost marveled, feeling a deep sense of pride in Overturning Water’s strength.
"Enough, let’s depart. We all operate under Overturning Water’s commands,"
Mr. Smoothie led the team to climb Cloud Mountain, a place unlike ordinary peaks— it was soft and fluffy, making the climb quite tricky. A momentary lapse in attention could mean slipping off the edge and falling.
"Hey, what did you mean by shaking your head just now?"
Having barely started climbing, Youtong couldn’t help herself and secretly sent a message to Smoky Ghost.
"Forget it, Overturning Water is not interested at all. You’re just overthinking it!"
Smoky Ghost replied without a second thought.
"No way! You must have a thing for Sister Smoothie, deliberately trying to stir up trouble, huh?"
"Nonsense, there’s only room for you in my heart. How could there be room for anyone else? While I was testing Overturning Water earlier, he wholeheartedly supported my pursuit of Sister Smoothie without a moment’s hesitation."
"Wait, so he’s the oblivious one in a one-sided love? Overturning Water, how can you not appreciate a beautiful girl like Sister Smoothie?! I don’t get him!"
"Youtong, let’s not meddle. Love is destiny. Lovers will eventually be together, just like us, right?"
"Move aside, we’re not even close to dating! Quit singing your own praises! Start thinking about Overturning Water’s intentions. Analyze the situation from a guy’s perspective."
Youtong’s curiosity was now piqued; climbing the mountain no longer held her attention.
"From a guy’s perspective... I see! Overturning Water is having self-doubt! I bet he feels he has no chance of winning Sister Smoothie’s favor because of his circumstances, so he leaves it be."
"Self-doubt? That’s trouble. We must find a way to tell Overturning Water that Sister Smoothie has feelings for him. But Sister Smoothie is not one to make the first move. This is such a dilemma!"
"What should we do? Directly tell him that Sister Smoothie likes him and let him decide?"
Smoky Ghost was straightforward and planned on speaking frankly.
"Oh, you! What if Overturning Water has never had feelings for Sister Smoothie? That would make things even more awkward. Forget it! I’m retiring from playing matchmaker!"
Youtong was about to pull her hair out; such a simple love story was becoming so complicated, causing her head to ache.
"Then... how about us?"
Until the very end, Smoky Ghost didn’t forget about his own pursuit of lifelong happiness, carefully pleasing Youtong.
"You? Wait till you can defeat Brother Overturning Water!"
Youtong was irritable from the start, and Smoky Ghost just happened to unleash her wrath on himself.
"Uh..."
Smoky Ghost was at a loss for words, feeling wronged. He angrily watched the floating Overturning Water, couldn’t stop cursing in mind, ’fall down, fall down!’
This was clearly because he projected all the blame for causing Youtong’s irritation onto Overturning Water. Cursing him was merely a vent for his frustrations.
However, what completely took Smoky Ghost by surprise was that his curse actually came true.
Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained fell heavily from high up in the air and crashed at the top of Cloud Mountain. His life or death was unknown.
Seeing this, Smoky Ghost was soaked with cold sweat. He guiltily glanced at his teammates around him, but found they were not looking at him. Sighing in relief, he swore never to curse hastily again.
Damn, that’s spooky!!!
