Embarra.s.sed, the girls whispered to each other.

“He knows nothing but how to hide behind the grand cultivators!”

“Humph! His cultivation strength is even lower than the Ancestral Warrior Realm. I can beat him with one hand!”

“If not for the grand cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm, Senior Sister would have defeated him long ago!”

“The stuff in this shop is miraculous, I wonder which senior master created them…”

“He must have benefited from that senior!”

“Humph!” Mo Xian snorted in disdain.

The girls imagined many satisfying scenarios to alleviate their frustration of being interrupted by Mr. Fang. “Let's continue watching the TV Series!”

“After we reach the realm of the Earthly Immortal, as Green Leaf Ancestral Master did…” This scenario seemed distant, but it felt good to imagine it.

After playing the Legend of Mir 2 for a while, Mr. Fang returned to Qzone.

“Usero! Usero!” Song Qingfeng controlled Iori Yagami and copied this character's shout while using s.h.i.+ki Yami Barai.

On the other side, Lin Shao controlled Kyo Kusanagi and leaped over the purple flames created by s.h.i.+ki Yami Barai. Then, Lin Shao pushed the joystick violently when Kyo Kusanagi landed on the ground!

On the screen, a huge fire beam rose around Kyo Kusanagi!

Desperation Move – Mu s.h.i.+ki

Boom! Boom…

“You guys! Time is up!” Loli Jiang Xiaoyue had watched them play for a long time, and she was disgusted with them for occupying the computer in her boss' Qzone. “It's my turn to play Plants vs Zombies!”

“After this match! After this match!” Song Qingfeng yelled, “Light Kick! Kuzu Kaze! Ugh? Why didn't I release it?”

“Trash Young Master Song, you can't even use your moves! Watch me!”

Then, Xu Luo said, “Ugh? The shop owner is here. Would you like to play a few rounds, Sir?”

“Let's do it!” Mr. Fang was eager to play. “I'll fight you with one hand!”

“What?!” Jiang Xiaoyue exploded in fury. “I want to play Plants vs Zombies!”

“Why play Plants vs Zombies!” Mr. Fang looked contemptuous. “It's fun to play the King of Fighters. Watch how I beat three guys senseless with only one hand!”

Then, he plunked on the seat.

“I will choose my characters randomly!” Mr. Fang clicked on three question marks which represented three random characters.

“Hey! Get off!” Displeased, Jiang Xiaoyue sat beside Fang Qi, trying to push him off with her pet.i.te body.

She tried her best but failed.

She pouted in anger, and her little face was full of disdain.

“I'll only play for ten minutes!” Mr. Fang compromised.

“Humph!” Jiang Xiaoyue looked away in disdain.

– On the other side –

“Master! Master!” Having watched for a long time, Fenghua and Yuexin asked weakly with tears on their faces, “Can you let us play for a bit?”

“We can buy computers in a couple of days… Let us have a try first…”

“Okay… Just one try!” Su Tianji had pa.s.sed dozens of levels in one sitting. She felt like the game was average; it was simple and the zombies were stupid.

However, she still wanted to play it. Why?

It was thrilling when a big group of zombies swarmed up…

Besides, it was a good scene after she created a big group of cute and silly plants to fight zombies. It was a totally different experience from those other fancy games which featured life-like battles!

Fenghua and Yuexin fought to play the game. “I'll play it first!”

“Hey! Let's decide with rock-paper-scissors!” The girls waved their small fists…

“Your computer time is up!”

“Ahhh!”

The two girls felt like crying…

Su Tianji covered her forehead in embarra.s.sment. “Ugh… You can play it tomorrow…”

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyue finally got to play Plants vs Zombies.

“Boss, do you know how to play this game?” Jiang Xiaoyue had watched it, but she still felt uncertain since it was her first time playing it.

“Of course. It's a simple game. Why not?”

“Put a peashooter here.” Mr. Fang directed her.

“Put it so far away?” Jiang Xiaoyue was baffled.

“Put a sunflower here and try to create a line.”

“Ugh? Why?” Jiang Xiaoyue was confused.

– Sometime later –

With intense background music, zombies walked leisurely into Jiang Xiaoyue's house.

[Zombies invaded your house mercilessly!]

“Ahh!” Jiang Xiaoyue screamed when she heard the sound of the zombies gnawing brains.

She glared at Mr. Fang angrily and bared her teeth, wis.h.i.+ng that she could bite him. “Sc.u.mmy Boss!”

“What happened? What happened?” At this moment, people like Ruan Ning and Xi Yue also came into Fang Qi's Qzone and saw Jiang Xiaoyue's sulky face.

Hearing her recount the incident, they turned toward Fang Qi in unison and said in disdain, “You even bully Xiaoyue!”

“Old Demon Fang is heartless!”

“Sc.u.mmy shop owner!”

“Xiaoyue, don't heal him in the future!”

“Ignore him! Let's play it. It's very simple!”

“Okay!” They dumped Mr. Fang and began enjoying the game themselves.

They even sent a message in a small chat room named ‘Morning Star Dajin Small Chat Group' where Mr. Fang wasn't a member. [Sc.u.mmy Mr. Fang even bullied Xiaoyue! He's heartless!]

[Agreed. Old Demon Fang is heartless!]

[He's an old pervert!]

[???] Nalan Mingxue sent three question marks.

Then, she sent a message to Mr. Fang. [What did you do this time?]

At this moment, Mr. Fang opened the door and walked out. After lighting a cigarette which he bought from the store in Qzone, he leaned on the doorframe and took a puff.

He spat out the smoke which floated up into the sky.

Nalan Mingxue walked in, nonplussed.

Curious about what had happened, people like Song Qingfeng and Lin Shao also came in.

“Hey! Sir, why are you here smoking all by yourself?”

“What do you know?” Mr. Fang exhaled a mouthful of smoke. “I'm not smoking a cigarette but loneliness.”

Nalan Mingxue touched her forehead.

Song Qingfeng: “…”

Lin Shao: “…”

Xu Luo: “…”

In the two QQ groups named ‘Morning Star Dajin Small Chat Group' and ‘Dajin Game Center', someone posted a picture of Mr. Fang leaning on the doorframe while smoking. Engulfed by smoke, he looked celestial. The words below the picture said, [I'm not smoking a cigarette but loneliness.]

[The shop owner is awesome!]

[What can I say?]

[He deserves this treatment…]

[These words are a perfect match for his expression…]

[Very das.h.i.+ng!]

[This kid is a d.a.m.ned genius…] An Huwei followed that up with an ? emoji.

After a while, a user with the ID of Junior Castellan An posted a picture of An Huwei smoking on a tobacco pipe in his Qzone with the words, [I'm not smoking tobacco but loneliness.]

An Huwei tried hard to explain, “Very das.h.i.+ng!”

Nalan Hongwu also posted a picture of himself smoking on a tobacco pipe while he lounged on an armchair. [I'm not smoking tobacco but loneliness.]

Sometime later, in the Dajin Royal Family's Internal Chat Group, a picture was posted with the words, [I'm not smoking tobacco but loneliness]; it was from Emperor Ji Wu.

All the other members of the Royal Family fell silent.
