âAre you done checking your wound?â Huangfu Jue noticed what Murong Qingyan was doing and he teased her, âTrust me, you are fine now, completely. But you better not wield your Dark Power for a few days.â
âIt is you who has saved me, isnât it?â Murong Qingyan asked a a rhetorical question, she was sure it was Huangfu Jue who had saved her life. Because Huangfu Jue was the only one who was capable to save her and healed her within such a short amount of time.
âThis is the third time that you have saved my life.â thought Murong Qingyan to herself.
âThat is correct.â Huangfu Jue replied, âHow are you going to repay me? How about giving your heart to me?â
Murong Qingyan didnât feel offended, she look Huangfu Jue up and down, âAre you injured as well? In your head?â
âIs he bantering with me?â thought Murong Qingyan, somehow Murong Qingyan felt Huangfu Jue became so different in his air after she woke up, but she couldnât pinpoint where he had changed.
Huangfu Jue didnât feel frustrated by Murong Qingyanâs reply, he was well aware there were certain things couldnât be rushed, their relationship was one of those things, you couldnât win someoneâs heart or expect to change how someone saw you overnight.
Huangfu Jue was too mature to feel hurt by Murong Qingyanâs reply, he showed a faint smile ad said, âYou wound is healed now, but you were pierced at your pubic area by the serpent, that has taken a heavy toll on you. Iâm afraid I have to tell you that you need to cease cultivating.â
âIâm grateful that Iâm still alive.â Murong Qingyan smiled and then she asked, âAbout the serpent⌠âŚâ
âIt has already become smoke and ashes.â Huangfu Jueâs tone was as cold as marble in spite of the smile on his face, âIâm sorry Iâve deprived you of the opportunity to flog its body to vent out your anger.â
Hearing that, Murong Qingyan shook her head resignedly, âI donât tend to have a hobby like that, all right?â
âFlogging a dead serpentâs body, ewww! That wasnât what I was thinking, I just wanted to check what has become of the serpent. But how interesting it is, Huangfu Jue has killed the serpent and made it smoke and ashes. He has saved me twice before, last time when he saved me from the Murong Family, he didnât go to the great length to punish them so hard.â Murong Qingyan couldnât think this through.
Neither the aggressive behavior on the serpent who had hurt her nor the teasing which bordered on flirtation had arouse any suspect in Murong Qingyanâs heart. She was not the type of girl who tended to get above herself, she knew the hideous birth mark on her right cheek wasnât exactly something men would appreciate, so it didnât even occur to her that Huangfu Jue helped her out time and again was because he harbored romantic feelings for her.
Murong Qingyan had no idea who Huangfu Jue really was, but she had seen how Xuan Yi had treated him, she was sure Huangfu Jue was definitely a great peersonage and he must have had seen a great number with all kinds of beauties. Therefore it had never crossed Murong Qingyanâs mind they Huangfu Jue was doing this because he had romantic feelings for her.
âWell, Iâm glad you are not hoping to flog it.â Huangfu Jue nodded while he was still holding Murong Qingyan in his arms.
âWhere is Chen Wenwen?â it was only natural that Murong Qingyan would check on the person who had used her as a human shield after she found out the serpent had died.
Huangfu Jue didnât answer Murong Qingyan, he just raised his head and looked ahead.
Murong Qingyan followed Huangfu Jueâs gaze and saw Chen Wenwen who was in a sorry plight, and also she had seen the dagger which was just an inch away from Chen Wenwen.
Fear wrote all over on Chen Wenwenâs face, her eyes were locked on the dagger for fear that it would suddenly plunge into her body.
âMiss Murong, I have no idea what has happened, but please have mercy on Wenwen.â Chen Xianbin begged Murong Qingyan who had woken up, âWenwen has already learned her lesson, and I swear I will discipline her in the future! Iâm apologizing to you on her behalf, please forgive her!â
Chen Xianbin still had no idea what had happened between his sister and Murong Qingyan to this point, what came to their sight was the scene where Huangfu Jue punished Chen Wenwen.
But soon Chen Xianbin saw Murong Qingyan who was lying unconsciously in Huangfu Jueâs arms and covered with blood stains, he had a hunch that his sister must have had done something horrible to Murong Qingyan, but he couldnât just sit back and watch his sister being punished by Huangfu Jue, he needed to fight for his sister despite they were as puny as ants in front of Huangfu Jue.
To be accurate, they were not as puny as ants, Huangfu Jue was just too omnipotent.
Chen Xianbin knew Huangfu Jue must be a powerful cultivator at first sight, but it still amazed him to see exactly how powerful Huangfu Jue as was. Huangfu Jue didnât even lift a finger, and they were all heavily injured. They couldnât even pick themselves up from the ground, let alone saving Chen Wenwen.
