You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 762 (Listener)

Wei Chang had captured Tang Weiʼs heart with her persistent pursuit. When it came to pursuing girls, one had to be thick-skinned; being thin-skinned would lead to a lifetime of singleness. Waiting for a girl to chase after you was simply impossible.

”Is your injury getting better?” Mu Ran suddenly lifted the curtain and asked with concern.

Cang Konghong remained silent, nodding slightly. He seemed aloof.

It wasnʼt an act; that was just his personality. It was understandable why Yue Hua didnʼt like him. After all, any woman would appreciate receiving care from others.

Lie Gu had expressed his concern, but Cang Konghong kept all his care hidden in his heart and never expressed it.

Mu Ran didnʼt inquire further and returned to the carriage.

Wei Chang cursed that Cang Konghong was a fool. Mu Ran was already quite attractive, and although her strength wasnʼt high, she was definitely a good girl. She would be a perfect match for Cang Konghong, the fool.

Sitting inside the carriage, Tang Wei also scolded him. If a girl showed concern for you, the least you could do was to reciprocate. No wonder Yue Hua didnʼt like him; he deserved it.

Mu Ran didnʼt show any despondence. She sat quietly and contemplated the situation.

Seeing that Mu Ran didnʼt seem disappointed, Tang Wei started to worry. It seemed that Mu Ran regarded Cang Konghong merely as a lifesaver and had no other thoughts about him.

Alas...

It seemed like there was no hope.

The carriage slowly travelled along the road, and Wei Chang reported the situation to Ye Hua.

Upon hearing Wei Changʼs report, Ye Hua was very pleased and praised Wei Changʼs words. A war would definitely be ignited; it was time to shake the Voidless Empire!

This was just a small step; the road to revenge had just begun.

Ye Hua also inquired about Cang Konghongʼs condition and if there was any progress.

But when he heard Wei Chang say that Cang Konghong got injured while saving Mu Ran last night...

Ye Hua felt a bit relieved. Cang Konghong wasnʼt that foolish. However, his thoughts changed soon after. Feeling that Yue Hua didnʼt like Cang Konghong was normal; his personality truly didnʼt win girlsʼ hearts. But soon, Ye Hua dismissed this thought.

He felt curious about Mu Ran, whom he would soon meet. He wondered how much she weighed and how impressive she was, considering Wei Changʼs praise.

On the first night, the carriage parked by the riverside, and Cang Konghong caught a fish while Wei Chang made a fire to grill it for dinner.

The four of them seemed to be on a leisurely trip, with Tang Wei taking care of Mu Ran like an attentive older sister. Mu Ran was grateful and had a good impression of Tang Wei.

However, if Mu Ran knew that these three people were all frauds, she didnʼt know how she would react. The whole deception revolved around Mu Ran, and she, surprisingly, didnʼt notice. Perhaps it was Tang Weiʼs carefulness that made Mu Ran lower her guard, along with Cang Konghongʼs reckless self-sacrifice.

Being deceived by enemies was a lesson, but being deceived by trusted people was a blow.

In fact, it was better that Cang Konghong had no interaction with Mu Ran now. Once they did, and Mu Ran found out everything was a lie, that would be even worse.

After eating grilled fish, Wei Chang and Cang Konghong stayed outside while Mu Ran and Tang Wei rested inside the carriage.

”Tang Wei, let your cousin come inside the carriage to rest. Itʼs windy outside, and his injuries shouldnʼt be exposed to the cold.” Mu Ran said with concern, showing her thoughtfulness.

Tang Wei had a brilliant idea and whispered softly, ”Miss, donʼt mind my cousinʼs reserved nature. If I ask him to come in, it wonʼt work.”

”Then let me talk to him.” Mu Ran fell right into Tang Weiʼs trap.

As she saw Mu Ran getting off the carriage, Tang Wei wasnʼt sure if she had done the right thing. What if Mu Ran got hurt because of this?

It made sense though; if Mu Ran truly liked Cang Konghong, with his personality, he might not accept her, and it would break her heart.

She decided not to play matchmaker anymore and let things follow their natural course. She would see if they were meant to be and not force anything.

Cang Konghong sat cross-legged on a big rock nearby, seemingly cultivating. When he heard faint footsteps nearby, he opened his eyes.

Mu Ran looked at Cang Konghongʼs huge figure and recalled last night when he had shielded her with his body. At that moment...

She felt very safe.

”Cang Konghong, itʼs windy here. You should go rest inside the carriage.”

Northern Chillʼs nights were accompanied by howling cold winds, especially in the plains where the wind was even stronger.

Cang Konghong shook his head upon hearing Mu Ranʼs words and closed his eyes again, seemingly unwilling to respond to her.

Mu Ran thought Cang Konghongʼs reaction was normal and didnʼt leave; instead, she sat on the other side of the big rock.

”I used to be quiet and didnʼt talk much when I was a child,” Mu Ran said softly, gazing up at the starry sky.

Cang Konghong heard her, but still remained silent, reminiscing about how Yue Hua used to confide in him, telling him her thoughts.

ʼSince she doesnʼt like me, why would she share her thoughts with me? Am I just a listener to her?ʼ

ʼI refuse to be merely a listener!ʼ

Mu Ran didnʼt know what was going on in Cang Konghongʼs mind, and she didnʼt sense any change. She seemed to be consoling him, encouraging him to have confidence and not isolate himself.

”Some children didnʼt like to play with me when I was young, and even my brother didnʼt enjoy playing with me, saying I was a dull person,” Mu Ran smiled bitterly, reminiscing about her difficult childhood.

”As I grew older, some people did start playing with me, but I knew they had ulterior motives.”

As Mu Ran spoke, her tone changed. She had intended to console Cang Konghong, but it turned into sharing her own experiences.

”The constant deceit and scheming have exhausted me. Even in the Supreme Spirit Sect, I never experienced such things. Because of the Heavenly Dao, it seems like everyoneʼs perception of me has changed. If I had known this, I wouldnʼt have tried to seize that Heavenly Dao Soul.”

Mu Ran paused. Why was she talking about herself? Wasnʼt she supposed to encourage him?

”I havenʼt thanked you properly. Thank you for saving me last night. If it werenʼt for you, I wouldnʼt be sitting here, talking to you.”

”Thank you. You are truly a good listener.”

Cang Konghong was reminded of Yue Hua by Mu Ranʼs final words. He remembered Yue Hua had also said something similar.

A surge of hostility suddenly erupted, and Cang Konghong jumped off the rock, lying down near the campfire.

His message was clear: he didnʼt want to listen to her talk, nor did he want to be a mere listener.

Mu Ran didnʼt understand why Cang Konghong suddenly got angry. Did she say something wrong just now?

But she didnʼt feel like she had said anything wrong. Looking at Cang Konghong, Mu Ran pursed her lips and walked back into the carriage.

Tang Wei had also heard the conversation and silently cursed Cang Konghong. After living for thousands of years, why was he still so childish? Mu Ran didnʼt intentionally bring up your sad memories.

Yet, there he was, throwing a tantrum. Acting like this, no girl would like him.
