When Xuan Mu and Bing Shi became an online couple, Xuan Mu wanted them to look the same. So whenever they played, both of them were usually the same gender. Their clothes and hairstyle were identical. The only difference was the class, the color, and the names above their heads. The color scheme was black and white and both of them wanted to be black.
Because Bing Shi let him turn her into his Ice Queen that spoke to nobody, Xuan Mu ended up in all white, with the name Shiro.
After that item dropped, it was Xuan Mu's time to craft. He went to the city while Bing Shi went to the Eiun forest to gather a few herbs for her potions. After she was done, she moved to a direction Xuan Mu told her to — a PVP zone. A zone, where two different factions fought each other over various camps across the map. Arriving at a safety platform, she notified Xuan Mu.
Their second task was to kill certain NPCs all around the camps to receive emblems needed for PvP equipment. (A/N.: PvP = Player vs. Player)
After Xuan Mu teleported to her, he checked all six channels — they had to move fast without room for error, and even their damage pattern had to be according to his orders. They killed all the NPCs in all channels, not leaving one alive. They repeated this action without a break until they had enough emblems. After they finished, both of them teleported to the city.
"Toileeet!" Bing Shi let go of the mouse with her face tightly clenched, stood up, and ran towards the bathroom. Done with her business, grinning in satisfaction, she went to the kitchen to cook a meal for herself.
Chuckling, Xuan Mu cracked his fingers and browsed through the world chat.
(Falcon75): Where are all the Red Juns? Can't find them in any of their spawns.
(BananaMilk): Probably Shiro and Kuro.
(YourUncle): All, prepare your wallets. Shiro is back.
(IceC4eam): The marketplace is going to be flipped upside down again.
(Falcon75): Who?
(YumePrincess): You are new? They are a famous couple. I have a picture of them. Do you want to see it?
(Falcon75): Couple? They are both males!
(YumePrincess): No, Kuro is his wife. But it's very rare to see her in the city. If you are lucky, you can meet her during instances or on world maps.
(TakoyakiOctopus): I saw them. It was too fast! After they killed the Red Jun, they changed channels, immediately. The Red Jun didn't even have time to fall on the ground!
(BlackJack): They invited me once for Red Juns, but I couldn't keep up with them. I even voice chat with them.
(Falcon75): Is Kuro really a girl?
(BlackJack): She is, but she only talks to Shiro. This a reminder for all of you. Shiro will make Kuro blacklist you if you try to speak to her.
(YumePrincess): Doing quests with them is so easy and fun. Shiro is entertaining and a great leader.
(Falcon75): Isn't their equipment maxed out? Why are they killing Red Juns?
(BlackJack): Because of Shiro. What was his full name?
(TakoyakiOctopu): ShiroNana.
(BlackJack): I'm in their guild. And there are ShiroNi, ShiroIchi, ShiroSan,...Until ShiroNana. He is working on his new character, I suppose.
(Falcon75): He is crazy!
(YumePrincess): Not only him. His wife is crazy too. Every time he creates a new account, his wife is the one who carries him around with her top equipment. That's why he has so many maxed-out characters.
(BlackJack): Don't forget, he crafted her top equipment.
(Falcon75): Such a strange pair. What is their guild called?
(BlackJack): FluffyBunnies.
(YumePrincess): A pink flag with a white rabbit face on top, made by Kuro.
(Falcon75): Huh? Such a troll name. But I like it.
(ShiroNana): Seems like you have fun talking behind our backs. Why don't you sell me some Phoenix claws?
(Falcon75): I have some. How many do you want?
(ShiroNana): Meet me under the clock. I want them all. My wife will be there too.
(Everyone): !?!?!!?
(TakoyakiOctopus): ShiroNana, why do you have so many accounts?
(ShiroNana): I like to be carried by my wife.
(YumePrincess): Haha, I asked him the same question before. If you want an answer, open your PvP rankings, and look at the top ranks.
(TakoyakiOctopus): No way! You have no life!
Exclaimed TakoyakiOctopus the moment he saw all the Shiro in the top ranks.
(ShiroNana): Do you have a wife?
(TakoyakiOctopus): No..?
(ShiroNana): So, who is the one who has no life?
(Everyone): Hahaha!
Under a clock, there were two top characters, standing next to each other. They looked the same but not the same, one black, one white.
When Falcon75 arrived at the destination, he noticed many players flocking around Kuro and Shiro. He never thought they would be this popular. When Shiro noticed his nickname, he came near him, and like a train, everybody followed after Shiro, too afraid to be near Kuro.
Xuan Mu opened the trade function; after their exchange, he repeated the action with all the people, who came with their phoenix claws. Somehow, he didn't only buy their phoenix claws. If they didn't stop him, he would go as far as buying their whole accounts!
The same day, the marketplace was turned upside down!
Everything was overpriced!
Was it Shiro's work?
It had to be, who else would set new prices for all items?!
He.Was.Crazy!
But at the same time, he received everybody's respect. So cool!
"My cute money-making machine, let me give you a huuuuug," laughed Bing Shi when Xuan Mu screenshotted his bank account.
"Offering myself for a hug," Xuan Mu grinned, ignoring his heart which was beating too fast.
"Are you tired?" Bing Shi rubbed her tired eyes under her eyeglasses.
Xuan Mu laughed lightly, "You are tired, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Instead of saying you are tired, you always ask me if I'm tired first," Xuan Mu chuckled.
"Oh, you noticed?" Bing Shi asked.
"Yeah, what if I said I wasn't tired?" Xuan Mu inquired with a smile.
"I would accompany you until you feel ready to sleep," Bing Shi slapped her cheeks with both of her hands to wake herself up, or at least try to.
Xuan Mu's eyes flew open. At the same time, an arrow shot right through his heart, "Bing Shi... Don't tell me you just slapped yourself?"
"Hehe," Bing Shi laughed and started to rub her rosy cheeks.
"I'm feeling sleepy. Good night," Xuan Mu let her go to sleep helplessly.
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, good night then. I'll dream about you," wishing him a good sleep, Bing Shi turned off her voice chat in a good mood and went to sleep.
"Bing Shi, why do I love you so much?" Xuan Mu voiced his question.
Too late.
She couldn't hear him.
The voice chat was already turned off.
That's why he asked. He knew that she couldn't hear his confession.
