The storage cave was in chaos.
In front of the sixth golden platform, Yue Lian Han’s appearance was divine and brave. She was on a killing rampage, easily slaughtering those who dared to step up. Her long purple dress swam in the air between each movement, like a graceful butterfly. Her hand, as white as an onion, was moving left and right, blocking others’ attacks. It was as if she entered a realm nobody else was a part of, no one here was in the same rank as her.
Within a very short period of time, the environment around her turned into a sea of blood and a field of corpses.
This was the capability of a true Heaven’s Favorite!
Only those in the same realm could battle against cultivators in the Undefeatable Realm. Those below the tenth level could only be stomped on by Heaven’s Favorites and face their fate of being diminished within seconds. It didn’t matter how powerful these cultivators were at their own level.
Just then, an enraged voice pierced her ears.
"Yue Lian Han!"
Mo Qing Fu’s black hair was tussling in the wind, and there seemed to be angry steam evaporating from the top of his head. He angrily glared at the young woman dressed in purple and screamed out her name one character at a time.
"Ayo, who has angered the lover boy and made him so mad? Is this the same person as the polite and scholarly youth from before?" Yue Lian Han smiled sneakily as her hands formed a hand seal. The entire space trembled for a second. Then, an infinite amount of blue light formed in midair and turned into an endless ocean. The waves were rough and monstrous!
Retch, retch, retch…
A series of puking sounds followed. The only three cultivators who were still breathing collapsed onto the ground, as fresh blood continued to flow out of them. Their fresh blood mixed in with the old and the entire cave seemed to be filled with blood that would not dry. It was as if the cave was alive.
With that, every single cultivator who came here to get their hands on the majestic treasure passed on. Only three remain – three Heaven’s Favorites.
Yue Lian Han’s plan was half accomplished.
"Yue Lian Han, you dare to trick me? You really think I am easily taken advantage of?" Mo Qing Fu’s face was dark, and he was angry out of his mind. Staring at the young lady dressed in purple, he spoke slowly and sternly.
"That’s right. I did trick you," Yue Lian Han admitted without battering an eye. She then laughed. "But you sure are stupid. You only realize this now? It’s very rare to meet someone as oblivious as you are. If I didn’t play a trick on you, I would’ve wasted God’s arrangement for us to meet."
"You!" Mo Qing Fu’s anger continued to boil. Given his normally respectable ways, he was heavily affected by her this time.
"What about me?" Yue Lian Han raised an eyebrow, "Why aren’t you stopping this person from advancing?"
"Can you be more shameless? You lied to me, and you want me to keep helping you?" Mo Qing Fu turned his anger into a loud laughter. If Yue Lian Han hasn’t been so mysterious and hasn't so far hid her real capabilities, he would’ve walked up there and slapped her by now.
The lover boy’s infuriated visage made Yue Lian Han grin. She said, "A man keeps his promise. Since you agreed to do something for me, then you must follow through with it. Unless you want to take back what you promised?"
"You lied to me first, why can’t I retract a promise?" Mo Qing Fu hesitated. He grew up in the Hao Ran House. Everything he was taught was taught under high restrictive standards and based on rules. Naturally, he was conditioned to behave like a true gentleman and a righteous cultivator. When Yue Lian Han accused him of not following through with something, he doubted his integrity.
"Sure, you can revoke a promise. But if I remember correctly, your Mistress raised you and educated you that a real man keeps his words and never renege his promises. Though I lied to you, I never forced you to accept my request. Everything that happened was through your own free will," Yue Lian Han grinned, as her eyes sparked with the confidence of victory. She had a plan all along. In the beginning, she knew that if Mo Qing Fu accepted her request, even if he does realize she has lied, there is nothing he could do but to help her restrain the strong youth.
"A real man keeps his word". This statement was the belief his Mistress fed to him since he was a child.
As expected, when the word "Mistress" entered his ear, his anger dulled down like a deflated balloon. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth, turned to Ling Xian, and announced, "I’m sorry friend. I cannot disappoint the Mistress."
"Lover boy, what can I possibly say," Ling Xian shook his head. He has anticipated this to be the result. Even though he never built a strong friendship with Mo Qing Fu, the entire Yunzhou knew of his stubborn ways. Call him unyielding or call him stupid. At the end of the day, everything he does, he follows the Hao Ran House’s protocols, especially the values the Mistress instilled into him.
This incident is a prime example of his nature. It was obvious that Yue Lian Han was the one who was in the wrong. He could’ve easily broken the agreement without feeling any obligation. However, the moment Yue Lian Han said the word "Mistress", Mo Qing Fu simply shrunk. It was obvious that the Mistress is placed high in his heart.
"I’m sorry. No matter what the reason is, if the Mistress knew that I went back on my words, she would be highly disappointed in me. I… I cannot let her down," Mo Qing Fu smiled bitterly as his expression became determined.
"The Mistress again…"
Ling Xian wasn’t sure if he should laugh or cry. He knew very well as to why Mo Qing Fu cared about the Mistress’ feeling this much. He exclaimed about it but refused to express any opinion.
"Friend, I’m sorry to offend you."
Mo Qing Fu’s face turned very serious as an overbearing ambiance slowly filled the room. Maybe it was because of the Mistress’ educational ways, or maybe it was because of his own innate instinct, in the end, regardless of Yue Lian Han tricked him or not, he must do everything he can to stop this mysterious and powerful youth.
This was a matter of principle!
It didn’t matter how stubborn he appeared or how stupid others may think, he must follow his beliefs!
"Pathetic, moronic, did your brain get filled with water or did it get squished by a door?" Ling Xian scolded unsparingly. Despite his heavy insults, he understood where Mo Qing Fu was coming from. Because Ling Xian was the same. No matter how dangerous or difficult the journey, he never forgets his original goal, and he forces himself to march forward without regrets!
This was why he is willing to give lover boy enough respect.
