Realms In The Firmament

It was so weird when the three of them traveled together.

Even the air seemed to be awkward.

Ye Xiao was thinking all the along the way about what the lady exactly wanted. He barely talked.

However, Han Bingxue didn’t stop talking.

For him, this powerful lady must have falled in love with him…

He was quite sure. Although Ye Xiao was such a handsome young man, but Han Bingxue knew he was the cold Xiao Monarch deep in the heart. Ye Xiao would never be interested in any women, unlike him. He believed Xuan Bing must be obsessed for him!

It was forgivable that he had such thoughts. After all, it happened to him too many times before this. Wherever Frost Sword was, there were always eyes full of erotic love staring at him.

However, Ye Xiao was always the one who hurt the girls! He was such a prick in Han Bingxue’s heart! It made Han Bingxue felt proud that Xuan Bing liked him. However, he was also troubled. He didn’t know what to do.

[It is sometimes such a trouble to be handsome and kind. I am a married man. But this lady, she loves me. She is such a great figure in the world. I know I should just turn her down, but I can’t deny the pleasure in my heart.]

[I am upset. It is a crime to be handsome like me…] He sighed, but in fact felt pleased.

All along the way, he was being energetic and debonair. Surely, he didn’t dare to do anything reckless. He wanted to be a good husband after all. He thought it would be better to just be a best friend of Xuan Bing. That was what he wanted. Maybe there could be ambiguity between them, but no further than that. He would definitely turn her down if Xuan Bing asked for more.

[I, Han Bingxue, am not that kind of man. Besides, I haven’t seen your face yet… What if you are an ugly woman… That is absolutely a no.]

”Well, Lady Xuan Bing…” Han Bingxue walked with his chest up and showed a gentle smile. ”Do you feel tired, after traveling for so long?”

If he wasn’t doing this with a pig head, but his true face, he must be dashing. That could definitely attract lots of girls.

However…

Hmm. He could attract none!

His hair was scratched so bad that he looked like a man with favus on the head. His face was full of scratch marks. Now, he wanted to show a handsome look, but only made people laugh.

He seemed to forget about it though. He thought he was still a man with a beautiful face, and all girls in the world would be obsessed for him. He was just so narcissistic. That only made him look more hilarious.

Ye Xiao nearly freaked out when Han Bingxue was being pretentious.

[What are you doing? Why do you have to do such a pretentious thing?]

Xuan Bing looked at Han Bingxue through her hat and spoke indifferently, ”Han Bingxue, do you think the reason I asked to join you is that I like you?”

”Urh… Urh…” Han Bingxue was surprised.

Ye Xiao was shocked too, even though he was still in thoughts.

[This Xuan Bing lady is so frank. She just said it… That’s impetuous…]

”No, no, no… I didn’t mean that. No, I didn’t.” Han Bingxue felt awkward being questioned like that.

[Even though you do like me, I won’t just say it. I don’t want to embarrass you. You are a lady. I don’t want you to be angry because of love…]

”Humph.” Xuan Bing humphed and stared at Han Bingxue coldly. She spoke blandly with disdain, ”Just stop the stupid tricks that you use on little girls. You can be narcissistic, I don’t mind. But don’t go too far. Stop being a swaggerer now! Do not be too amorous! If you dare to have any amorous thoughts again, I will kill you!”

Suddenly, a murderous qi raged up like a storm.

Han Bingxue’s face suddenly turned pale. He was totally frightened.

He had only one feeling. ’I am never able to resist it. My life is in her hand.’ He was scared and started sweating.

He was surrounded by that murderous qi. He couldn’t even move a finger, just standing still right there.

”Humph!” Xuan Bing humphed and then stopped the qi. Han Bingxue finally took a breath and was free to move. He stepped back a few steps with fear in his eyes.

He knew that he was much weaker than Xuan Bing, but he was level nine of Dao Origin Stage after all. He never knew there could be such a huge gap between him and Xuan Bing!

He was a well-known figure in the realm after all…

Now he knew it. He and Xuan Bing were like from two totally different worlds! She was like a cloud, while he was like dirt on the floor!

[To fight her face to face… To risk my life to fight her… To try my best to earn time for Brother Ye… Those are nonsense… As long as she wants me dead, she only needs to flick a finger.]

Han Bingxue looked pale on the face. He was utterly scared in the heart.

[How is there such a horrible monster in this world…]

[I actually thought she liked me… That’s… I just felt the qi she let out. And I knew, I was being unreasonably amorous.]

[How could she like me? That is… I am just like a stranger on the road in her eyes.]

His self-pride was hurt…

[How is it possible?]

He stayed away from the lady sneakily. That was embarrassing.

He could still feel her cold and sharp eyes staring at his back with murderous intents. It was like a barb stabbing his back. That was unpleasant…

No matter how shameless he was, he felt utterly embarrassed and shamed at the moment…

[Ah. I have been around lots of beauties. This must be my retribution…] He was comforting himself and then he felt fine about it after a while.
