Reign of the Hunters

of his confidence in winning over the hearts of Ye Ci’s parents.
He had never considered the fact that they would be playing the game as well.
Their presence in the game could only mean that they have seen the pictures on the forums.
And it was only natural for Ye Nantian to have a strong dislike of him.

And since Ye Nantian had shown his dislike of him, Fleeting Time did his bad to not further deepen that feeling.
He greeted the man and stood at a side with a smile on his face.
He was humble with his conduct, but he was not backing down much to Ye Nantian’s surprise.
The young man standing before him was either very bad at reading the atmosphere or was very confident in himself.
But this fact alone did not change Ye Nantian’s dislike of him. 

Making a show of confidence was simple.
But having the same confidence in anywhere at any time was the real challenge. 

Ye Nantian knew it as well, but it did not stop him from directing some hostility at the young man albeit in a roundabout fashion, “People nowadays are very, very evil! You must open your eyes wide, Little Ci! Show them no mercy!” 

“The most important quality of a man is to have a sense of responsibility! Looks do not matter if his heart is rotten! The only thing that matters is if he treats you well and takes responsibility for his actions!

“I hope indecent acts are not allowed in this cell! I have to ask the NPC if they can transfer you to another cell! Purity is the most important thing to a girl! How can they allow an unmarried girl to stay with an unmarried guy in the same room!” 

“You’re still young, you don’t have to rush things.
You’re good looking, so you don’t have to be afraid that you won’t get a boyfriend in the future…” Ye Nantian continued blabbering at his daughter. 

Ye Ci’s expression was rapidly darkening.
She knew that her parents had seen the pictures and the forum post.
But they have not brought it up since the short discussion by the dining table in the morning.
This was why she had momentarily forgotten that members of her family knew of the incident. 

As Ye Nantian glared at Fleeting Time, a weird feeling crept into Ye Ci’s heart. 

She was happy to have her dad taking her side.
But the situation felt inappropriate to her as Fleeting Time was not entirely responsible for the incident. 

This went on for half an hour before a guard arrived to lead him away.
Ye Nantian might have even visited Ye Ci in prison every day to express his displeasure at Fleeting Time if there was no visitation limit in place.
He was angered when he noticed that his words did not seem to affect Fleeting Time in any way. 

Zuo Xiaolan arrived next with Ye Nantian’s departure. 

But her attitude was the complete opposite of Ye Nantian.
She paid no heed to his daughter, and focused her attention on Fleeting Time instead.
She studied the man with a wide grin on his face, patting him on the head, and even touching his muscles and his chest.
This was a complete shocker to Ye Ci, and she had to step in to stop her mother on several occasions. 

But Fleeting Time did not express any anger or displeasure.
He remained smiling at Zuo Xiaolan as she directed questions after questions his way.
It was as if Zuo Xiaolan and Fleeting Time were old friends who had known each other for a long time. 

When a guard finally arrived to escort Zuo Xiaolan away, the woman had even invited Fleeting Time to pay her shop in Red Lake City a visit.
And she received a guarantee from Fleeting Time that he would try his best to visit the shop despite his status as a player from an opposing continent. 

When the ruckus had finally died down and only the two of them were left in the cell, Ye Ci did not even know how to face Fleeting Time who still had a smile on his face.
“I hope you don’t mind what my parents said.
They were usually… Quite normal.” 

Fleeting Time of course knew what she meant.
“They are very interesting people.
And I can tell that they’re good people.” 

And Ye Ci’s expression darkened once again.
