AT exactly 8 o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of the official Weibo account of Moonlight Media started. Many people had already been waiting and they couldn't help but comment on the barrage.
[It's starting! It's starting! Finally! I've been waiting in front of my laptop for an hour now.]
[I wonder who are the players who would come?]
[I just want to see my goddess Liuli.]
The dark screen of the live broadcast changed and the first thing that the people watching saw was the image of the lake and the pavilion. Because it was taken in such a far distance, the whole pavilion could be seen perfectly. With the lake in front and the moon above the starry night sky, the scene looked like a very splendid painting.
The camera then slowly zoomed in. It first focused on the lake. There were lotus shaped lanterns scattered on the surface of the lake, carefully lighting the way. There were beautifully designed boats anchored on the side. They looked like the boats rich people would use to go lake viewing during the ancient times. Carved at the helm of those boats was a symbol of moon and stars. Standing on each boat was a handsome male NPC wearing a simple yet elegant ancient robe.
[I never thought the lake on the recreational garden could be this pretty.]
[Look at the details on those boats. It seems like the game developers really put a lot of effort in this pavilion.]
[Don't just talk about the boats, just look at those handsome NPC!]
[Handsome boatmen are the best!]
Then the first group of invited guests arrived. It was a group of five women. All equally beautiful on their own rights. But the most eye-catching was the young woman leading the way.
She had long flowing aqua blue hair, white pearls were scattered on its strands. The color of her eyes was the lightest blue, like the surface of the sea being touched by the sun's light. Her skin was white and luminous. Which only highlighted her pinkish lips. Her ears were like fins. Below those, if one would just look closely, they would see gills-like openings. Both her hands were webbed, a thin filament was connecting one finger to another. It could be seen by just that that her race was probably some kind of sea creature.
[It's Nereid! The captain of team Sirens! Ah, she's still as beautiful as ever.]
[She's my goddess! Just look at her, she's probably even more beautiful than the famous little mermaid of fairy tales!]
[It's not just the captain of team Sirens you should stare at. Look at their vice-captain. Doesn't Bellona look so heroic in those golden armor?]
[If you asked me, I prefer sister Freya. Just look at that smile. Everyone would be ensnared by that smile.]
While the commenting on the barrage were debating on who's the best member of team Sirens, the camera moved to another person. It was a tall and slender young man wearing an ancient white robe. His long black hair was tied in a jade crown. He was holding an ivory fan. His featured were delicate. One should think that he was amiable. If not for the smile on his face. It's like a smile that was hiding thousands of secrets. Making him look like someone who often schemed against others.
[That's Bian Que! The number one Alchemist in the game!]
[He's the one who's potions could cost thousands of crystal coins, right?]
[I heard that during the last auction held at Alryne City, his latest potion was sold for 500,000 crystal coins!]
[That's insane! What kind of potion would cost that much?]
Following Bian Que was a young woman with long, wavy, dark red hair. The pair of ram-like horns on top of her head and the thin, long, pointed tail behind her were very attention grabbing. But those were not the first thing that people would notice when they looked at her. They would first stare at her very ample figure. It was a perfect hourglass. Which was only highlighted by the tight, black leather overalls she was wearing. Her hips swayed with every step she took, seducing and charming everyone who looked at her.
[It's sister Lilith! In terms of seductiveness, sister Lilith is truly the number one.]
[I think I just had a nosebleed while looking at her.]
[That frivolous guy would definitely come. How can he miss such an event?]
[Look, isn't that Vulcan?] – one commenter said when he saw a tall figure trying to mix with the ground. But this comment was barely noticed and was soon buried along with the other comments.
A number of famous players arrived one after another. Making the atmosphere in the barrage boiled even more. They just saw the vice-captain of team Fenghuang - that famous xiezhi. Even two members of the rarely seen team Mozu appeared. Some players at the top of the leaderboard also came. It seemed like they were really giving face to the game developers by attending.
Ah, if only they were also there. Unknowingly, their desire to visit the pavilion became even stronger. And most promised to themselves that once they would surely go to the pavilion once it officially opened.
They thought that would be the end but two figured from the sky with white wings fluttering behind them suddenly landed in front of the pavilion. It was a pair of a man and a woman. Both wearing all white. The man had golden brown hair. His light blue eyes were hidden behind a pair of golden rimmed glasses.
The woman, on the other hand, had long golden hair. Her sky-blue eyes were full of charms, as if trying to hook people. Her lips had a natural pinkish tint and was curved into a smile. She was wearing a toga like gown that was shorter on the front but longer at the back. It perfectly showcased her porcelain white skin and attractive figure. Once you see her, your gaze would automatically follow her. It would be hard to pry your gaze away.
[It's goddess Liuli! She came! She really came!]
[How could goddess Liuli be so beautiful?]
[Goddess Liuli, I love you! Please marry me!]
[How come Min Min was not with her? I want to see the both of them together. But I guess Uriel is also good enough.]
[True. I also want to see Min Min. But maybe he has a job. I heard he was casted in that upcoming drama. Maybe he's starting to film that now.]
When the audience thought they wouldn't be surprised anymore, another unexpected thing happened. Three streams of lights appeared and landed just behind the duo from team Celestials. Three figures appeared.
One had fluffy red-orange hair with lion ears on top of it. His skin was the color of bronze, showing off his sculpted muscles. He would look like a handsome and wild bandit, if not for the grin on his face. Which in turn only made him look mischievous. The other was a little girl with short bubblegum pink hair. Her eyes were like beautiful pink gems, exuding endless indifference. Behind her back was a pair of butterfly wings. Every time she moved, crystal dust fell from it.
Standing at the middle of the two was a tall young man. He had long dark purple hair and a pair of antler-shaped golden horns on top of his head. His beast-like amethyst eyes were had no temperature in them. As if he would be able to freeze anyone those eyes looked at. But even so, they still couldn't take their eyes off of him. They wanted to be close even if they knew they couldn't.
[It's team Yunyue! My god, it's been so long since I saw the three of them together.]
[White Marsh still look as playful as before. And Morganite is still as cute and adorable as ever!]
[Upstairs, be careful. If Morganite sees your comment, she might PK you on the spot.]
[Ah!!! It's YUN! YUN is so handsome, ah. How could someone be this handsome?]
[I wish YUN could show himself to the public more often.]
[Too bad Noctis is not with him. I want to see the both of them together. But Noctis is only a newbie, so he was probably not invited.]
[Upstairs, are you also a fan of NightCloud CP???]
Some of the players rode the boat to cross the lake. Some flew over, some walked on the lake surface, some even jumped. But overall, everyone arrived at the entrance of the pavilion with no problem.
Just like on the advertisement, everyone was still impressed by the pavilion's ancient architecture. The design became even more prominent as they entered. The players were immediately welcomed by beautiful NPCs dressed in magnificent ancient robes. After they were led to their designated seats, the surrounding suddenly darkened. Then a single light appeared on the stage.
Standing at the very center was a black-haired elf wearing an intricately designed red robe. The lower half of 'her' face was covered with a veil. But even if the only thing they could see on 'her' face was a pair of blue eyes dusted with gold, they knew that 'she' was definitely one hell of a beauty.
The elf's eyes bent into crescents, as if smiling. And 'she' said in a melodious and clear voice, "Welcome to Yuexing Pavilion!"
