Bam!
Zhuo Fan drew closer as he held that cute face, but then a palm sent him flying and into the ground. Chu Qingcheng jumped and blushed hard as she recalled what happened.
âDamn punk, you got some nerve going after a Ruby Cloud Sect disciple! You must have a death wish!â The senior sister started cursing at Zhuo Fan on the ground, about to stomp on his legs for good measure.
Chu Qingcheng saw it and managed to stop her.
[Heavens damn it, nosy crow!]
Zhuo Fanâs brow twitched as his anger boiled.
The couple finally got together after so many years, but they couldnât even enjoy the reunion as the retarded biddy had to ruin it. Zhuo Fan wanted nothing more than to flatten them to a gooey mush.
The only thing holding him back was knowing Chu Qingcheng was from Ruby Cloud Sect. So he took a deep breath to bottle the rage. It just wouldnât do for the husband to waste his wifeâs besties in a fit of fury.
[Why did Chu Qingcheng end up appearing in Ruby Cloud Sect of all places?]
Checking the nine starsâ direction and recalling the familiar feeling he got from this girl, Zhuo Fan was certain beyond any shadow of a doubt that she was Qingcheng, and not just in name either.
Making a monumental effort to restrain himself, Zhuo Fan put on a pained look as he crawled to his feet. He saw the angry shrews and raised his hands in a rush to explain, âSisters, please, the striking similarity young miss has with my late younger sister made me lose myself in emotions. It wonât happen again next time.â
âNext time? You think you can just touch a ladyâs face?â The senior sister was outraged, about to smash him into the ground again, but Chu Qingcheng jumped in, âSenior sister, please, he mustâve loved his sister dearly and didnât know that he was doing something improper. It wasnât with intention, so please donât blame him.â
âHumph, blame him? For what, it wasnât me who he was hitting on anyway. Since you donât care, why should I?â
The senior sister flicked her sleeve with a snarl, flying away with her other sisters, âLetâs just go and not waste time with that fool. She deserves being taken advantage of for falling for a rotten manâs lies.â
âSenior sisterâ¦â
Chu Qingcheng cried after her, but the women were gone, and she hung her head sadly. She then blinked her big bright eyes at Zhuo Fan, âDid you do that because I looked like your little sister, or was it⦠on purpose?â
Under her hopeful and intense gaze, Zhuo Fan knew she was looking for comfort, to justify her act of kindness. It wouldâve been so much easier to just nod and play along.
While he didnât mind with others, towards Qingcheng, he could lie. Now that the extras were gone from butting in, he could come clean.
âNo, I really couldnât help myself, but not because of my little sister, since I donât have one. Itâs because of my lover.â
âWhaâ¦â
Chu Qingcheng went red on the spot, then she glared before turning to leave, âI was wrong about you, thinking you were nice, but it turns out youâre just like senior sister said. You did it to take advantage of me and end up making them call me a fool.â
Chu Qingcheng looked hurt, following after the women when Zhuo Fan shouted, âWait!â
âWhat now? If you try anything, youâll be sorry!â Chu Qingcheng paused, then looked back at him hesitantly and threatened.
Her tone only made Zhuo Fan chuckle. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Sheâs in Genesis Stage and Iâm in Bone Tempering Stage, by all appearances, yet she is using that shy tone? How is that normal?]
Zhuo Fan shook his head, giving her a long and deep stare, âMiss, I was not toying with you, nor did I try to take advantage of you. Itâs truly because I see you as my lover. My wife died and seeing you resemble her, emotions overwhelmed me.â
Chu Qingcheng started, looking in Zhuo Fanâs honest gaze and blushed as she gave a weak nod.
âYou must really love your wife. Then I wonât hold you to what happened.â The naive young miss turned around, wanting to leave with the matter settled.
âWait!â
âWhat is it this time?â
Chu Qingcheng paused and looked back curiously.
Zhuo Fan sighed, âMiss Chu, I can tell youâre a good person. Could you do me a little favor? I got lost in this forest and could you give me a lift?â
âTake you⦠with me?â
âYou canât?â
âUhm, I guess I can.â
She looked conflicted, but against Zhuo Fanâs request, she just couldnât find it in her to refuse. She shyly got to Zhuo Fanâs side and looked to see if the coast was clear before she reached out around his waist, âUh, Iâll fly you out, j-just donât moveâ¦â
Chu Qingcheng jumped and they were in the air.
Pa!
Zhuo Fan took this moment to reach around her waist.
Chu Qingcheng panicked and blushed harder, âWhat are you doing? Hands off!â
âMiss, Iâm a Bone Tempering cultivator and Iâm scared for my first time flying.â With a wide grin, Zhuo Fan took all the advantage he could.
Chu Qingcheng was left succumbing to his sly hand and focused on making the trip as short as possible.
Pa!
At one point, Zhuo Fanâs head up and leaned on the girlâs shoulder.
Chu Qingcheng jerked and cried again, âWhat are you leaning on me for?â
âFirst time flying is scary.â Zhuo Fan smiled wider, to which Chu Qingcheng gaped. She was simply powerless against Zhuo Fanâs slick tactics and reasoning. Despite it all, she still couldnât find a reason to hate him, taking a deep breath to warn instead, âHey, have some manners. Try anything again and I-I-Iâll drop you!â
This time Zhuo Fan went for the kill, moving from simply leaning on her shoulder to hugging outright.
Chu Qingchengâs heart was in chaos, her cheeks steaming from how red they were.
âWhat are you doing? Let me go!â
âNo, Iâm scared of falling!â Closing his eyes, Zhuo Fan was at peace holding the one person he hadnât seen in a hundred years. He was too content to let go.
Chu Qingcheng was frantic and landed on the ground before someone saw them.
She could never let her senior sisters see her like this. It was too damn mortifying!
Whoosh~
The two touched down, with Zhuo Fan holding onto her like an octopus. Chu Qingchengâs face twitched and snapped, âHey, weâre on the ground, now get off!â
âNo, youâre lying! Weâre definitely in the air and I wonât fall for it, he-he-heâ¦â
The young miss had met the biggest rogue of them all, with the thickest skin ever as he used every trick to stay glued to her.
Chu Qingcheng squinted and huffed before she used force, throwing Zhuo Fan off, hard. He landed on the ground with a bang.
Chu Qingcheng glared, âYou definitely took advantage this time and you dare lie to me?â
âYoung miss Chu!â
Zhuo Fan dusted his clothes before he smiled, âBefore I answer, would you answer me two questions first?â
âIs there anyone you fancy?â Zhuo Fan went right ahead before she could reply.
Chu Qingcheng shook her head.
Zhuo Fan smiled, âAre you engaged?â
Chu Qingcheng started then shook her head.
[Why is he asking me this?]
âGreat!â
Zhuo Fan got the answers he wanted and laughed, coming before Chu Qingcheng and reached out to hug her close as he looked longingly at her, âNow Iâll answer yours. I did it on purpose, because I like you. You have to be mine!â
Dong!
Chu Qingchengâs mind blanked out, her eyes hazy.
[What on earth is going on? How am I yours just like thatâ¦]
She finally reacted after a few long moments and shoved him, âYouâre crazy! We only met a couple hours ago and I have no idea who you areâ¦â
âI am Zhuo Fan, there, now weâre no strangers, Qingcheng. Come with me!â
âAs if! I am a Ruby Cloud Sect disciple. When it comes to marriage, I have to tell my masterâ¦â
âAn old crow meddling in my affairs? Qingcheng, come with me. No one can stop us!â Zhuo Fan shouted, his voice filled with powerâ¦
