“I order his arrest!” Xiao Qingruo was in a very bad mood.
Her man had been attacked, so in terms of emotions and reason, she had to take revenge!
However...
Xue Yi shook his head: “No need. Since he wants to play dirty tricks, I’ll just play along. It would be best if he makes a move at the assessment the day after tomorrow. Yan Chengxue’s palm strike was very heavy, he definitely won’t have recovered. By then, with my Cave Heaven Realm cultivation base, I can utilize the Power of the Five Spirits to expand his injuries, perhaps even having a chance to directly kill him!”
Although the Cave Heaven Realm Layer 5 cultivation base was powerful, Yan Chengxue’s strike was definitely not easy to endure. Zhao Ancheng had hastily retreated without even a chance to regulate his breathing, so his injuries could worsen again. Whether he could even stand up now was uncertain.
If they encountered each other then, Xue Yi had a 50 percent confidence in being able to kill Zhao Ancheng!
If Zhao Ancheng didn’t make a move, they could look for another chance later on.
In any case, he wouldn’t be able to escape from this Holy Might Manor!
“Alright, just be careful, there is still a big difference in your cultivation bases after all.” Xiao Qingruo gave a reminder.
“Mm, many thanks for Young Miss’s concern.”
Having eaten his fill, it was about time to cultivate.
Xue Yi got up to clear away the bowls and dishes, also taking the chance to bring out the clothes Young Miss had changed out of earlier, handing them over to the maids to wash.
When he returned to the room, Xiao Qingruo had already picked up a book and started flipping through it.
She still had that noble, transcendent and extraordinary appearance, like an unstained celestial maiden from the heavens.
But after the events from this afternoon, when Xue Yi looked at her now, he couldn’t help but superimpose the pitiful yet charming appearance she had when not fully conscious over her current image.
Thus, the corners of his lips unconsciously quirked up as he lightly laughed.
Xiao Qingruo was also just pretending to calmly read her book. After such a big incident had occurred, with this man still not leaving her room, how could she possibly calm her heart to read?
Hearing this laugh, she shot Xue Yi a glare and lowered her voice to snap, “What are you laughing about? You’d better forget about today!”
Xue Yi walked closer by a few steps and whispered, “I can’t forget it. Young Miss biting my finger while plaintively seeking was very cute.”
“You, you!”
Xiao Qingruo was both angry and ashamed. She wanted to hit him but knew she wasn’t a match for him, so she could only gnash her teeth and say, “Dog thing, specializing in those disgusting things. Just wait until I become powerful in the future, I’ll definitely kill you!”
“Disgusting? You obviously really liked it!” Xue Yi gave a wicked chuckle.
“Scram!”
Xiao Qingruo crawled up and kicked out at him.
Xue Yi nimbly dodged it with a smile. “If you say scram then I’ll scram. Why so fierce? I still prefer your obedient and cute appearance from this afternoon.”
“Xue Yi!” Xiao Qingruo clenched her silver teeth, angered to the point she almost lost control.
Yet Xue Yi didn’t fear her one bit. With a completely unruffled expression, he walked into the side room and sat down to cultivate.
“Bastard! Dog thing! Hateful servant!”
Xiao Qingruo gnashed her teeth, glaring at him fiercely as if wanting to kill him with her eyes.
After a while, she finally sat back down again and picked up her book.
“Oh right.”
At this time, Xue Yi suddenly opened his eyes.
“?” Xiao Qingruo turned to look at him, thinking he had proper business to speak of, not joking around anymore.
But Xue Yi gave her a roguish smile, licked his lips, and spoke four words, “The taste...not bad.”
“Ahhhhh!!”
Xiao Qingruo pounded the table in anger, but didn’t dare yell out, afraid of the maids outside overhearing.
Clenching her fists, she wanted to give Xue Yi a few punches.
Yet in the end she didn’t make a move, instead tossing aside her book with no intention to read further. She huffily ran back to her own room and turned off the lights, cooping herself up inside to stew in anger.
Seeing her fly into a rage out of humiliation, Xue Yi laughed with great delight.
“Even Young Miss is human after all~”
He sighed feelingly. Then he started cultivating, the Five Spirits patterns emerging as he frantically absorbed the energy between heaven and earth in his surroundings.
Inside the inner room, Xiao Qingruo sat at the head of the bed. The room was pitch black, unable to see anything.
She touched her own face. It felt very hot, recalling the events from this afternoon. She wished she could turn back time and not touch Xue Yi’s box.
“Dog thing, dog thing, dog thing...”
She repeatedly muttered under her breath, punching her own thighs over and over, as if pounding them in place of Xue Yi.
After punching for a while and feeling her own thighs starting to hurt, she finally stopped.
“No, I can’t swallow this anger. I must scheme to make him lose face badly too!” Xiao Qingruo secretly thought.
But she couldn’t come up with any particularly good plans at the moment.
After some time, she suddenly heard a “ding”, as if something had popped up in her mind.
Then her originally ashamed and annoyed expression froze in place, replaced by wild delight.
“Wonderful, now there’s so much more I can do!” She looked over the new thing that had appeared in her mind, extremely elated.
To her, humiliating herself to an extreme degree was also a moment of harvest.
Her shamelessness value today had risen by far too much, to a degree that even she herself almost couldn’t believe.
Upon seeing the additional new thing, she even vaguely hoped that Xue Yi could find a chance to take advantage of her one more time...
“No no, how could I think this way? I’m destined to become the emperor of this generation through my Prestige value. I don’t need trash like Shamelessness value!”
After some time, Xiao Qingruo revealed a disgusted expression again.
“Read books! Accumulate knowledge! Accumulate Prestige!”
She left her room and picked up the book she had set down earlier.
One cultivated while the other read books, both striving hard in their own ways this tranquil night.
...
The next morning.
Xue Yi had gotten up before dawn, practicing martial arts moves outside and also pondering over the “War Aura Golden Light Barrier”.
Maid Zi Die held a dry towel in hand while Xia Chan held a change of clothes, eyes staring fixedly at him without blinking, faces full of worship.
Although they didn’t understand anything about cultivation, they somehow felt that Xue Yi was very amazing.
Unable to curry favor from Young Miss, currying favor with Xue Yi also held the possibility of allowing them to live even better lives.
When Xue Yi finished practicing his fist techniques, the two girls immediately went up to him.
“Big brother Xue Yi, wipe off your sweat.”
“Big brother Xue Yi, go take a bath. I’ll scrub your back!”
The two were extremely attentive and proactive.
The surrounding other maids revealed strange looks, feeling it somewhat odd how they were sucking up to Xue Yi like this.
“Such good girls.”
Xue Yi was in supreme bliss. Seeing their cute obedient appearances made him feel as if he had become the master, extremely comfortable.
Creak~
At this time, the door opened and Xiao Qingruo walked out.
“Young Miss!”
“Young Miss!”
The crowd of maids hurriedly bowed in greeting. Xue Yi also rushed to give his regards.
Without saying a word, Xiao Qingruo sat down and silently started on her breakfast.
She was still as nobly elegant as always, seeming as if yesterday’s events were only a dream.
Seeing her current bearing, Xue Yi couldn’t help but recall her pitiable yet charming appearance from yesterday again. The huge contrast from the overlapping images gave rise to a peculiar pleasant sensation in the depths of his heart.
As for Xiao Qingruo, upon seeing him stare fixedly at herself without blinking, her mood immediately turned a little unhappy.
“Xue Yi,” she called out.
“Young Miss,” Xue Yi responded with lowered head.
“How goes your progress with the martial arts I taught you?” Xiao Qingruo asked him.
“This...I haven’t completely grasped it yet.” Xue Yi replied.
Xiao Qingruo’s eyebrows slightly knitted together. Using her inherent commanding attitude, she berated, “Trash. Continue practicing, you’re not allowed to enter for cultivation until you’ve learned it properly!”
“Oh...yes, Young Miss.”
Xue Yi couldn’t help feeling despondent.
This girl was obviously taking out her anger on him.
But there was no solution for it. She was the young miss after all. He could only obediently comply.
