Volume 7, Chapter 32 – I Know I’m Cute

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.

And in these ten plus days, most of the players who participated in this player tournament were eliminated. And among those left, every single one was an outstanding figure among players.

And as more and more players were eliminated, the players remaining became fewer instead, and by now, the players left were basically only those who were fairly famous even in the real world.

Of course, Tianyin didn’t know a single one of these players. Aside from coming out to watch their matches and secretly copy skills, the fights between these players, in Tianyin’s eyes as a Throne-tier now, were undoubtedly like kids playing house.

Well, even a “playing house” style fight had its own merits. After all, Tianyin could copy skills from these players.

However, what surprised Tianyin a little was that among the players in this tournament, her “disciple” Xiaomengyao actually broke through the encirclement, and with her cute appearance and crisp, clean fighting style, she harvested a huge wave of popularity among the player community.

“What’s going on… has Xiaomengyao already gotten this strong without me noticing?”

After learning that Xiaomengyao had made it into the later stages of the tournament, Tianyin couldn’t help feeling surprised.

Of course. Even though she said that, Tianyin felt more gratified than stunned that Xiaomengyao could reach the late stages of the competition.

“Sister Xiaomu is still so amazing, she crushes her opponents almost every round.”

Tianyin was stunned at Xiaomengyao, but when it came to Xingyu Muxi, Tianyin couldn’t help but feel happy.

Tianyin had actually watched every single one of Xingyu Muxi’s matches. No matter what kind of tricky or hard-to-deal-with opponent she faced in each match, Xingyu Muxi could resolve them at the fastest speed.

Even though Xingyu Muxi used quite a lot of “items” in battle, the timing she used those items was often extremely perfect. Just her skill in using those “items” alone crushed countless players.

“So, even though items are external things, if you can make proper use of them, it might not be a way of fighting.”

After watching many of Xingyu Muxi’s battles, Tianyin came to these conclusions.

Of course, during this period, besides watching Xingyu Muxi and Xiaomengyao’s battles and copying a large number of player skills, Tianyin was also consciously “appearing” within the players’ line of sight.

After all, the fundamental purpose of this tournament was to control one of the Seven Original Sins, Lust, as soon as possible. And if she wanted to control Lust, what Tianyin needed to do was use her Lust to influence others as much as possible.

So, following Sister Xiaomu’s plan, Tianyin’s figure frequently appeared before the players. And as for Tianyin, the players all knew that Dawn had a Throne-tier silver-haired loli.

Plus, Tianyin already had a portion of a player “fan” base before, so Tianyin could also feel that the number of players influenced by her Lust was growing more and more.

And if Tianyin’s prediction was correct, then around the time the tournament reached its closing stage, Tianyin would be able to completely control the Original Sin, Lust.

“Mm… when the time comes, I’ll take Pride out of Lucifa…”

Thinking of Lust, Tianyin naturally thought of Lucifa, whose state had been off for a while some time ago.

And a few days ago, when Tianyin herself didn’t even know what she had said, Lucifa’s state of mind seemed to have changed greatly.

At least, in Tianyin’s eyes, that instinctive inferiority was still there, but compared to before, it had become much lighter.

And considering Lucifa’s own instinctive rejection of Pride, Tianyin felt she still had to “take” Pride out.

“Well… if I get Pride in my hands, then Yeluo should be able to wake up, right?”

“Should be able to, right…”

Tianyin had always been thinking about Yeluo, who had been asleep all this time.

And thinking about what the “system” had said before, Tianyin also thought about whether she would be able to wake Yeluo once Pride was taken out.

“Damn it… that system never speaks clearly… it obviously said Pride could wake Yeluo, but even now Yeluo still hasn’t woken up…”

After thinking so much, Tianyin shook her head and decided not to think about these annoying things anymore, then jumped down from the chair.

Then, she shook Xiaomengyao, who was lying on the desk beside her and seemed to be asleep.

“G-Good morning, Master~”

“Morning my ass, it’s already afternoon. Did you sleep yourself stupid?”

Looking at Xiaomengyao’s dazed face, Tianyin complained without holding back at all.

And after Tianyin said that, Xiaomengyao only then reacted belatedly.

“Uh… it really does seem like it’s afternoon…”

“It’s about time, Xiaomengyao, your match is about to start, right?”

Rеаⅾ οո ΚаtRеadіոɡCаfе

“Eh, right, I still have a match!”

Tianyin’s reminder made Xiaomengyao remember she still had her match in the afternoon, and once she remembered the match, Xiaomengyao jolted awake.

“Don’t panic, if you go now, it’s not too late.”

“Mm-mhm, Master, I’m going now!”

After waking up, Xiaomengyao couldn’t spare the attention to say anything else. She waved her hand and ran out.

“Wait… the drool at the corner of your mouth still isn’t…”

Watching Xiaomengyao leave, Tianyin still didn’t finish the reminder in the end. After all, the person involved had already left, and reminding her now wouldn’t do anything.

“Seriously, when you wake up, you have to wipe your drool too…”

Thinking of the drool at the corner of Xiaomengyao’s mouth just now, Tianyin shook her head with an amused smile.

「Pfft.」

At this moment, Samael suddenly laughed in her mind.

『Hm? What are you laughing at, Samael?』

「Xiaoyin looked so serious just now, like an adult, so I laughed~」

Reaⅾ on ΚatRеаⅾіոgСаfe

In response to Tianyin’s question, Samael answered honestly.

『Hah? What does that have to do with being funny?』

Tianyin had a black line on her face.

「Well, it’s not funny, I just think Xiaoyin being so serious about a little thing is really cute, and because I thought it was cute, I laughed~」

『Cute… mm, I know I’m cute. There’s nothing I can do about being cute… who told this body to look like this…』

In the past, if someone said Tianyin was cute or something, Tianyin would at least feel ashamed, or embarrassed.

But now, without noticing, Tianyin was already able to calmly accept the fact that she was cute.

Not only could she accept it calmly, she could also say “I’m cute” in a very composed way.

『Samael, this is called fulfilling my duty as a master! After all, Xiaomengyao going out to compete is my disciple, if she doesn’t even wipe the drool at the corner of her mouth when she goes to compete, isn’t that way too embarrassing…』

「How could it be embarrassing…」

Faced with the reason Tianyin gave, Samael couldn’t help but refute in a small voice.
