CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73 ICE CREAM

Facing the Master of Grey Mist’s overwhelming attack, which twisted the world and covered a thousand miles, he merely raised a hand.

SNAP!

With a snap of his fingers, the Grey Mist vanished.

This scene left many viewers dumbfounded.

Luckily, the recording was edited. Otherwise, every viewer would have been hit with a flashbang at point-blank range.

Gazing at the now-empty space where the Master of Grey Mist had been, the audience members who regained their composure all showed expressions of admiration and awe.

Elegant.

So very elegant!!

What other move could be more impressive than snapping your fingers to eliminate an enemy thousands, even tens of thousands, of times your size?

Following this, the Secret Realm erupted in chaos, and the Divine Eye reawakened.

The entire Secret Realm "came to life"; flesh and blood scattered chaotically, and Bone Mountain itself began to distort.

Demons self-destructed, spewing crimson blood from which countless phantoms emerged.

The result was that this forbidden powerhouse, though obscured by the Grey Mist, directly located the core of the Divine Eye and devoured it completely.

They watched as the initially bloated mass of flesh transformed into chaotic shadow lines, writhing and struggling, only to be "consumed" by this forbidden warrior. The atmosphere was thick with the fear, shock, and despair of the surrounding military personnel.

Everyone’s hearts trembled.

The forbidden warrior’s bearing, nobility, and elegance were displayed to their fullest!

Even through a screen, one could feel the terror he radiated, let alone on the actual battlefield.

Some commentators revealed that this was all a scheme orchestrated by this powerful figure.

The two descending Evil Gods were merely playthings for this behind-the-scenes manipulator, reduced to food for his table, meat for his meal!

King of Black Robes, Monarch of Eternal Night, the Faceless One, Master of Black Fog...

A slew of titles emerged, but he was eventually designated the King of Black Robes.

"I declare, from this day forward, my idol is the King of Black Robes!!"

"I want to have the King of Black Robes’ babies!"

"With such fair hands, it could be a woman, possibly connected to the Night Goddess Church."

"That’s sexist! How dare you presume the gender of such an esteemed figure!"

"Exactly! Who’s to say this individual isn’t an Ancient Evil God, an unnamable existence..."

"My electric mouse will zap all you idiots with a hundred thousand volts until you’re dead!"

"King of Black Robes is awesome!"

"..."

Chu Yi’s persona as the King of Black Robes began to go viral across the internet.

Those with quick minds started capitalizing on this trend to sell goods, printing similar black robes, and producing related merchandise.

Some silly netizens even made a meme of the King of Black Robes raising his hand and snapping his fingers.

*If you keep yapping, I’m gonna snap my fingers.jpg*

*One snap from me, and you might die.jpg*

...

The internet was bustling, yet Chu Yi remained unaware. Otherwise, he too would have chimed in with, "King of Black Robes is awesome!"

His Star Bracelet was broken, though some functions, like Guagua Cab, were still working.

Playing the part of someone who had narrowly escaped the Secret Realm, Chu Yi’s clothes were in tatters. Along the way, he encountered many Beast Tamers and even ordinary people.

Many had come, drawn by the notoriety, heading to the ruined Bloody Wilderness to "check in" and admire the heroic visage of the King of Black Robes.

Among them were several well-known Beast Tamers.

"Wow, so handsome!"

When Chu Yi, having changed into new clothes, had walked only a few steps out, a group of girls paused, their expressions turning excited.

Beauty on the street attracts attention, and so does a handsome man.

He had delicate features, deep, dark eyes, a tall and imposing figure like a mountain peak, and a slender build. An adorable little fox was also perched on his shoulder.

A cool, handsome guy paired with a warm and cute Pet Beast created quite the visual impact.

"I-I want to ask for his WeChat."

"Sis, help me ask! He’s so cute."

"Forget it. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he refuses?"

"Don’t worry! He has a Red Fox, so he must be a gentle and kind guy. We can start by being friends."

One girl broke free from her friend’s hand and immediately rushed over, a sweet smile on her face.

"Hello..."

Just then, a luxury car drove up and stopped in front of Chu Yi.

A petite, simply dressed blonde girl with sapphire eyes glanced at Chu Yi and said calmly, "Get in."

Chu Yi: "..."

The girl: "..."

Wow, such a charming, handsome guy already has a girlfriend!? And this car looks so luxurious! Which prominent family is she from!?

Lias frowned, looked at the girl beside Chu Yi, and said calmly, "Is there something you need?"

"Ah, no, nothing..."

The girl was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it; her newly summoned courage vanished in an instant.

This is so awkward. And that girl’s eyes are terrifying, like the dead of winter—so cold...

"The Gray Eagle Hotel is a hundred meters ahead. Turn right, then go straight for a bit, and you’ll be there," Chu Yi said with a smile, defusing the awkwardness with a single sentence.

"Ah, yes, thank you."

The girl shot Chu Yi a grateful glance.

That guy really is so gentle!

Under the surprised gazes of passersby, she immediately headed toward the address, practically fleeing.

Her friends behind her were left dumbfounded.

Chu Yi smiled, opened the car door, and stepped inside.

He took his usual place in the back seat, and the curtain was drawn as usual, but this time the driver was a stoic maid.

Oh dear... Have I been beaten to it? Chen Xi sipped her milk tea, ignoring the admiring glances from a group of men nearby. Her eyes remained fixed on the departing vehicle, lost in thought. Never mind. There will be plenty of opportunities back at the academy.

...

Chu Yi glanced at Lias.

She wore an eye-catching Lolita dress, looking pure and sweet.

Her face, free of makeup, revealed bright eyes, white teeth, and a rosy, jade-like complexion. She had slender shoulders, delicate collarbones, and a petite, exquisite figure. Her waist, as slender as a spring willow, further accentuated her stunning beauty.

Below the hem of her dress was a pair of jade-like legs wrapped in white silk stockings. Her shoes were off, revealing delicate feet that seemed sculpted from snow.

"Are you alright?" Lias asked nonchalantly, resting her jade-like feet on Chu Yi’s thigh.

Ah, this...

Chu Yi remained very calm. This was his massage duty for the young lady; the Janet family had taken care of him for so long, he simply couldn’t refuse.

"I’m fine. I was with the military, so I didn’t encounter any major danger."

Chu Yi smiled and lowered his head. Her snow-white feet landed in his warm palms, and he began to gently knead them.

Unbeknownst to him, Lias was captivated by his deep, dark eyes, which were clear and brilliant, like a starry summer night sky.

She stared for a moment, an almost imperceptible blush creeping onto her jade-like cheeks, her lovely face slightly flushed.

This, however, only happened when Lias was secretly watching Chu Yi at night.

Right. Lately, I read online that being ’tsundere’ isn’t popular anymore. They say you can get completely crushed by a ’heaven-sent’ rival, right?

Lias hesitated for a moment, then decided to take the initiative.

But before that, she wanted to know his relationship with the woman in the photo.

"Chu Yi, aren’t you going to explain who she is?" Lias asked, her face stern, and snorted coldly.

"What?"

Chu Yi looked up and saw the holographic photo of himself being cuddly with the adorable Jiang Qiuyun.

The Scumbag Female Knight’s goofy, surprised, and frightened expressions flashed by one after another.

Chu Yi’s expression changed. When was this photo taken? How did he not know about it?
