Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 158

Henry started singing helplessly, “Fault, fault, fault, it’s all my fault~~~”

Sebastian started the car, disdain clear on his face as he drove while complaining, “I say, Old Fifth, I wonder what’s worrying you that you had to buy such a cheap car. The feel of these wheels can’t even compare to those million-dollar cars of yours, okay?”

Stanley continued to ignore him.

Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt…

Just then, Henry’s phone vibrated. Someone named ‘Cute Bunny’ had sent him a voice message on WeChat. Henry simply played it.

“Wuu… Hubby, hubby, hug me… Hubby, why aren’t you in-game? Carry me!”

Forgetting that his phone was on loudspeaker, Henry was dumbstruck the moment the message played. A typical sweet and babyish voice was lethal when being coquettish. He immediately let out an awkward cough. Everyone else looked nonchalant, like this was something normal.

“Henry, are you dating online again?” asked Gary.

“One of my friends has invested in a large-scale Three Kingdoms online game called Heroes Assemble. It’s now at an internal testing stage, where the saved data will remain after going live. He invited me to play it a little while back, so I did,” said Henry.

He continued to gush about the game, “And guess what? The gaming experience is quite nice, so I’m now hooked. I started putting money into the game and accidentally became the strongest player in the server. Because of this, many girls started throwing themselves at me. After my account reached level 70 and I could get married, I picked the one with the sweetest voice and married her.”

Having seen through Henry, Sebastian took a jab at him, “Why don’t you just be honest and say that you’re bored with real-life women, so you’re now looking for mystery and excitement online? How can I not understand what a casanova like you is thinking?”

“Don’t call me a casanova. Like you’re any better,” Henry poked back.

“F*ck!” Rendered speechless, Sebastian immediately changed directions, dealing heavy damage with each sentence, “Didn’t you previously vow that you would never date online again? I recall that you were cheated real bad last year because of it.”
