Translator:Ā Ā āOh, he he, weāre in the same place again Miss Dugu; I guess we were destined to meet each other again.ā Jun Mo Xie smiled as he said the words, while his face was carrying a āpleasantly surprisedā look.
The young master Jun hadnāt never expected that even though he had greeted Dugu Xiao Yi in the same manner as always, these words were now being interpreted by her in a very different context.
[He said destined? And Iām very fortunate that I met you ah! Hey, this really could be destiny! Would we be able to see each other daily? Would our families oppose this?]
Jun Mo Xieās words had filled her heart with joy, and her initial resentment had already gone up in smoke: [Thanks to Little Whiteās mischief, otherwise I wouldnāt have been able to see you todayā¦..]
Dugu Xiao Yi wasnāt involved in political conspiracies that clogged the dark side of the world; even though she was the same age as Jun Mo Xie, she behaved like a normal sixteen year old girl.
Given her age and background, she couldnāt understand the complexly subtle emotions like love etc. She had often heard of Jun Mo Xieās unbearable arrogance in the past, and had always felt disgusted by it. She had always felt that the man needed to be disciplined; very strictly.
But after her previous few encounters with the young master Jun, she had realized that the so-called hedonistic and flippant son of rich parents was actually a very organized, and of very appropriate character, due to which she had started seeing Jun Mo Xie in a very general light.
But these encounters aroused a lot of curiosity in Dugu Xiao Yiās heart; [Jun Mo Xie is a tiger in a pigās shell, and he pretends to be such in order to deal with the outside world.] Until this time, she had always felt disgusted in his presence, and had always looked down upon him, but she had finally started to realize something at this point: [Iāve been misunderstanding Jun Mo Xie all this time.]
Even though Dugu Xiao Yiās attitude towards Jun Mo Xie was beginning to change, she still couldnāt help thinking: [I have misunderstood Jun Mo Xie for several years, and Iāve bullied him for so many years without giving him any reason to explain his actions. He suffered it all these years without making any complains, which was justifiable for a man with low intelligenceā¦. But itās obvious that heās very clever. Could I be misunderstanding him again?]
Such thoughts had ignited mixed feelings in her heart since she also knew that Jun Mo Xie had tricked her into defrauding the metallic ore from her hands, which had left her feeling very displeased. [But then again, maybe he did that because that metallic ore was very important for himā¦. Is his resourcefulness his true face? Why is it so difficult to see the real face of people? Why do we have to deliberately hide ourselves from the world outside?!]
Even with these thoughts in the back of her mind, she still saw him as a bully for cheating the metallic ore away from her, but realized that she had missed it out at the time since she was too proud and arrogant, and couldnāt see that he was a tiger disguised as a pig, which made her a bit upset; [then thinking again, Iāve known him so many years, and Iāve bullied him so much in past, but he had never seemingly bothered about itā¦..] As these thoughts sprouted in her head, she suddenly felt as if something was amiss. She cried after she returned home that day.
She wept since she was beginning to recall their encounters over these past yearsā¦. She recalled all the suffering that the Jun Family had been through, and began imagining that it must have been very hard on Jun Mo Xie, which instilled an indistinct sense of pain in her heart. On top of that, she had made her father bully Jun Mo Xie several times in the past since she had felt that he had wronged her, owing to which she had wished to get even with him.
After she started to understand the unsaid aspects of Jun Mo Xieās life, she felt as if someone had struck her heart with a hammer ā [so many years of misunderstanding him, will I ever be able to compensate for it?] As these thoughts came into her head, she had started to blame herself. Once a young heart develops such feelings, they often find it difficult to conceal their emotions; naturally she had been unable to eat her meals properly for days. After pondering over these issues for several days, the young master Junās reputation started to change very drastically in her psyche, and in due course of time, she started seeing in a very high-light.
For this reason, she ventured into her grandfatherās study one day, with the intention of inquiring more about Jun Mo Xie, and after learning more about the Jun Familyās situation, she finally found an explanation for his behavior: [the previously declining Jun Family has now once again become very dangerous and powerful. He has managed to turn his familyās fortunes around at the cost of creating a very dirty public reputation for himself, and after suffering so much humiliation. His life has been so difficultā¦. Even though heās just my age, he has suffered so much for so many yearsā¦.. No wonder there is such a great contrast between him and the others; this man is instilled with a sense of responsibility and is willing to make sacrifices for his familyā¦..]
[Jun Mo Xie had actually tried to save the princess which had almost injured him to the point of death ā such a chivalrous man!]
So Jun Mo Xie had suddenly gone from a debauchee to a responsible and noble young man in Dugu Xiao Yiās mindā¦ā¦ this had completely twisted her life upside down.
Once a young girl develops a favorable impression about a man, anything the man does seems justifiable and noble to the young woman. After she found out that the young master Jun had been seriously injured while saving the princess, she started to fear for his well-being and even started to fantasize about helping him in his rehabilitationā¦..
Then later, when she suddenly heard Jun Moe Xieās voice in the Magnificent Jewel Hall, her heart soared with an unexplainable sense of joy, and she felt as if she had just recovered a long-lost treasure. Then her pet suddenly took a liking to Jun Mo Xie, which made the young maiden even more happy since Little White had never shown any affection to anyone apart from her. She started seeing this as an indication of something special in Jun Mo Xie.
At that time, she was still unable to understand whether Jun Mo Xie was an evil man or a good one, but then as an after effect of the trouble that her father and brothers sprouted at the Jun residence, she started asking herself: [So I really fancy bad men? Do I really like him? What is this feeling?]
[This feelingā¦. Is really, really wonderfulā¦ā¦]
In the following days, even though she was afraid since her father and brothers started interfering in these matters, her heart still carried a sense of apprehension. Even though she didnāt meet him again for a long while, just the thought of him was enough to make her a little shy, and she started thinking that she fancied him. With these thoughts in her mind, her heart leapt and her face would blush since she would long for their next encounterā¦.
The mind of a young maiden can be very elusive, almost like a poetic dream, full of endless fantasiesā¦. Although Dugu Xiao Yi was a high-borne, she wasnāt as arrogant and haughty as some of the other powerful women of the kingdom; her heart was that of a delicate young maidenās, and wasnāt very different from that of an ordinary farmerās daughter.
All the interventions and pressure that followed in the succeeding days abruptly forced out these feeling, and made them stronger.
If it hadnāt been for the wild speculations of Princess Ling Mengā¦.
If it hadnāt been for the naughty interventions of the Dugu Family, then these emotions would have gradually dilutedā¦..
Then, Jun Mo Xie would have only remained a very interesting character in her lifeā¦ an interesting man and a very reliable person; thatās all! Believing that he is just another very interesting man, with passing age and increasing distance, he wouldāve become a transient passerby in her life, who sheād only recall as a faint memory in time to come!
But due to the blend of circumstances, Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly started gripping harder to the thought that Jun Mo Xie was a rare exception, and started becoming so convinced about it, that she slowly built a cocoon around herselfā¦.
At the moment when she heard his voice today, her heart suddenly started pounding so hard, that it almost skipped a few beats, and she didnāt know how to react since she didnāt know how he felt about her. Her face had suddenly started burning and she had even contemplated the idea of running awayā¦.
[Do Iā¦.. himā¦ reallyā¦. Destined to be together?! Oopsā¦.. people will think shameful things!] Dugu Xiao Yiās good-looking face was suddenly red.
āThief Jun, this night has been a real eye-opener for me. Donāt even think of doing anything to Miss Dugu!ā Ye Gu Han looked at him coldly. [I donāt know what means Jun Mo Xie used in order to attract Miss Duguās high level Xuan beast cub towards himselfā¦ but itās undeniable that he only did so to trouble Miss Dugu Xiao Yi.]
[Dugu Xiao Yiās petās affection for this man is quite obvious: and now that the cub is so attached to Jun Mo Xie, it will undoubtedly make things very uncomfortable for her, in fact it might even put her in harmsā way in the future since her pet might seek him again, which is a very dangerous thing!]

In addition to their masters, high-end Xuan Beasts rarely ever develop any kind of attraction towards strangers. Although Ye Gu Han couldnāt explain this mystery, and even felt that it was quite incredible, but he was still convinced that the young master Jun must have used some very shameful methods to attract the young cub. What other explanation could there be for this?
āWhat? Thief? Donāt call me a thief!ā Jun Mo Xie was somewhat depressed. [Did I bother anyone? Why would he act so blindly, and be so hostile towards me? This isnāt fair, ah, I simply didnāt do anything. This animal simply jumped into my palanquin and slept off in my arms. Iām a handsome and suave guy, thatās a rare thingā¦. Makes me stand apart!]
[Iām the real victim hereā¦. This isnāt fair!]
āThief Jun, are you refusing to hand over Little White to Miss Dugu?ā Ye Gu Han was feeling very fortunate that he was escorting the Young Miss personally, otherwise it would have been hard for her to escape Jun Mo Xieās trap. And if anything untoward happened to the young Miss Dugu, then it would have sprouted a big dispute in the capital. As far as he was concerned, he absolutely needed to stop this thiefās conspiracies!
āYe Gu Han, right? Why would you be so narrow-minded? Anyway, you are the Princessās guard, why would you even intervene in this matter? Who do you think you are, this matter is between me and the young Missā¦. Why are you sticking your foot into it?ā Jun Mo Xie returned Little White to Dugu Xiao Yi, as he replied to Ye Gu Han, feeling wronged by the manās accusations.
